In addition, it has been reported that reactive oxygen species contribute to alcohol-induced hepatopathy. In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of radon inhalation on acute alcohol- induced hepatopathy in mice. C57BL/6J mice were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of 50% alcohol (5 g/kg bodyweight) after inhaling approximately 4000 Bq/m(3) radon for 24 h. Alcohol administration significantly increased the activities of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in serum, and the levels of triglyceride and lipid peroxide in the liver, suggesting acute alcohol- induced hepatopathy. Radon inhalation activated antioxidative functions in the liver. Furthermore, pretreatment with radon inhibited the depression of hepatic functions and antioxidative functions. These findings suggested that radon inhalation activated antioxidative functions in the liver and inhibited acute alcohol- induced hepatopathy in mice. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ToyotaTeruaki en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Teruaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiyamaYuichi en-aut-sei=Nishiyama en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Hlth Sci affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Hlth Sci affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Hlth Sci affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Hlth Sci affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Grad Sch Hlth Sci END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=67 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=359 end-page=367 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2013 dt-pub=201312 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=In Vitro Assessment of Factors Affecting the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient of Jurkat Cells Using Bio-phantoms en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=It is well known that many tumor tissues show lower apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and that several factors are involved in the reduction of ADC values. The aim of this study was to clarify how much each factor contributes to decreases in ADC values. We investigate the roles of cell density, extracellular space, intracellular factors, apoptosis and necrosis in ADC values using bio-phantoms. The ADC values of bio-phantoms, in which Jurkat cells were encapsulated by gellan gum, were measured by a 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging device with constant diffusion time of 30sec. Heating at 42℃ was used to induce apoptosis while heating at 48℃ was used to induce necrosis. Cell death after heating was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and electron microscopy. The ADC values of bio-phantoms including non-heated cells decreased linearly with increases in cell density, and showed a steep decline when the distance between cells became less than 3μm. The analysis of ADC values of cells after destruction of cellular structures by sonication suggested that approximately two-thirds of the ADC values of cells originate from their cellular structures. The ADC values of bio-phantoms including necrotic cells increased while those including apoptotic cells decreased. This study quantitatively clarified the role of the cellular factors and the extracellular space in determining the ADC values produced by tumor cells. The intermediate diffusion time of 30msec might be optimal to distinguish between apoptosis and necrosis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KatashimaKazunori en-aut-sei=Katashima

the inhibitory effects of antioxidant vitamins and radon on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatopathy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We have previously reported that radon inhalation activates anti-oxidative functions and inhibits carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced hepatopathy. It has also been reported that antioxidant vitamins can inhibit CCl(4)-induced hepatopathy. In the current study, we examined the comparative efficacy of treatment with radon, ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol on CCl(4)-induced hepatopathy. Mice were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of CCl(4) after inhaling approximately 1000 or 2000 Bq/m(3) radon for 24 h, or immediately after intraperitoneal injection of ascorbic acid (100, 300, or 500 mg/kg bodyweight) or α-tocopherol (100, 300, or 500 mg/kg bodyweight). We estimated the inhibitory effects on CCl(4)-induced hepatopathy based on hepatic function-associated parameters, oxidative damage-associated parameters and histological changes. The results revealed that the therapeutic effects of radon inhalation were almost equivalent to treatment with ascorbic acid at a dose of 500 mg/kg or α-tocopherol at a dose of 300 mg/kg. The activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in the liver were significantly higher in mice exposed to radon than in mice treated with CCl(4) alone. These findings suggest that radon inhalation has an anti-oxidative effect against CCl(4)-induced hepatopathy similar to the anti-oxidative effects of ascorbic acid or α-tocopherol due to the induction of anti-oxidative functions. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiyamaYuichi en-aut-sei=Nishiyama en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamatoKeiko en-aut-sei=Yamato en-aut-mei=Keiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TeraokaJunichi en-aut-sei=Teraoka en-aut-mei=Junichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriiYuji en-aut-sei=Morii en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakodaAkihiro en-aut-sei=Sakoda en-aut-mei=Akihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshimoriYuu en-aut-sei=Ishimori en-aut-mei=Yuu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=Radon kn-keyword=Radon en-keyword=ascorbic acid kn-keyword=ascorbic acid en-keyword=α-tocopherol kn-keyword=α-tocopherol en-keyword=antioxidant kn-keyword=antioxidant en-keyword=hepatopathy kn-keyword=hepatopathy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=34 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=1181 end-page=1187 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=201210 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Comparative Study on the Inhibitory Effects of α-Tocopherol and Radon on Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Renal Damage en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Since the 2011 nuclear accident in Fukushima, the effects of low-dose irradiation, especially internal exposure, are at the forefront of everyone’s attention. However, low-dose radiation induced various stimulating effects such as activation of antioxidative and immune functions. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the quantitative effects of the activation of antioxidative activities in kidney induced by radon inhalation on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced renal damage. Mice were subjected to intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of CCl4 after inhaling approximately 1000 or 2000 Bq/m3 radon for 24 h, or immediately after i.p. injection of α-tocopherol (100, 300, or 500 mg/kg bodyweight). In case of renal function, radon inhalation at a concentration of 2000 Bq/m3 has the inhibitory effects similar to α-tocopherol treatment at a dose of 300?500 mg/kg bodyweight. The activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase in kidneys were significantly higher in mice exposed to radon as compared to mice treated with CCl4 alone. These findings suggest that radon inhalation has an antioxidative effect against CCl4-induced renal damage similar to the antioxidative effects of α-tocopherol due to induction of antioxidative functions. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamatoKeiko en-aut-sei=Yamato en-aut-mei=Keiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiyamaYuichi en-aut-sei=Nishiyama en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriiYuji en-aut-sei=Morii en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=EtaniReo en-aut-sei=Etani en-aut-mei=Reo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakataYuji en-aut-sei=Takata en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=HanamotoKatsumi en-aut-sei=Hanamoto en-aut-mei=Katsumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabeAtsuishi en-aut-sei=Kawabe en-aut-mei=Atsuishi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakodaAkihiro en-aut-sei=Sakoda en-aut-mei=Akihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshimoriYuu en-aut-sei=Ishimori en-aut-mei=Yuu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=radon kn-keyword=radon en-keyword=carbon tetrachloride kn-keyword=carbon tetrachloride en-keyword=oxidative damage kn-keyword=oxidative damage en-keyword=α-tocopherol kn-keyword=α-tocopherol en-keyword=kidney kn-keyword=kidney END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=146 cd-vols= no-issue=1-3 article-no= start-page=360 end-page=363 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=201107 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Studies on possibility for alleviation of lifestyle diseases by low-dose irradiation or radon inhalation en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Our previous studies showed the possibility that activation of the antioxidative function alleviates various oxidative damages, which are related to lifestyle diseases. Results showed that, low-dose X-ray irradiation activated superoxide dismutase and inhibits oedema following ischaemia-reperfusion. To alleviate ischaemia-reperfusion injury with transplantation, the changes of the antioxidative function in liver graft using low-dose X-ray irradiation immediately after exenteration were examined. Results showed that liver grafts activate the antioxidative function as a result of irradiation. In addition, radon inhalation enhances the antioxidative function in some organs, and alleviates alcohol-induced oxidative damage of mouse liver. Moreover, in order to determine the most effective condition of radon inhalation, mice inhaled radon before or after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration. Results showed that radon inhalation alleviates CCl4-induced hepatopathy, especially prior inhalation. It is highly possible that adequate activation of antioxidative functions induced by low-dose irradiation can contribute to preventing or reducing oxidative damages, which are related to lifestyle diseases. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakodaAkihiro en-aut-sei=Sakoda en-aut-mei=Akihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakagawaShinya en-aut-sei=Nakagawa en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyotaTeruaki en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Teruaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiyamaYuichi en-aut-sei=Nishiyama en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamatoKeiko en-aut-sei=Yamato en-aut-mei=Keiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshimoriYuu en-aut-sei=Ishimori en-aut-mei=Yuu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabeAtsushi en-aut-sei=Kawabe en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=HanamotoKatsumi en-aut-sei=Hanamoto en-aut-mei=Katsumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Sakakibara Heart Institute of Okayama affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Ningyo-toge Environmental Engineering Center affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=45 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=219 end-page=226 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2009 dt-pub=200909 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Basic Study on Active Changes in Biological Function of Mouse Liver Graft in Cold Storage after Low-Dose X-Irradiation en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We previously reported that low-dose X-irradiation alleviates ischemia-reperfusion injury such as mouse paw edema. In this study, we examined active changes in the biological function of mouse liver grafts in cold storage after low-dose X-irradiation. Mouse livers were sham-irradiated or were irradiated with 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, or 5.0 Gy of X-ray and stored for 4, 8, 24, or 48 h in preservation or saline solution. The results show that storage for 24 h in saline solution after 0.5 Gy irradiation significantly increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase. Following storage for 4, 8, or 48 h in preservation solution, lipid peroxide levels of the 0.5 Gy irradiated group were significantly lower than those of the sham irradiated group. Following storage for 24 h in preservation solution, the activity of SOD and catalase of the 1.0 Gy irradiated group were significantly higher than those of the sham irradiated group. Hepatocytes stored in saline solution were vacuolated. However, no vacuole formation was observed in hepatocytes stored in preservation solution. These findings suggest that low-dose irradiation significantly activates antioxidative functions of liver grafts. Moreover, the dose at which enhancement of antioxidative function occurs in livers stored in preservation solution, which contains glutathione, is significantly higher than that in saline solution. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakagawaShinya en-aut-sei=Nakagawa en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MizuguchiYuko en-aut-sei=Mizuguchi en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Radiation Safety Research Center, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=organ transplantation kn-keyword=organ transplantation en-keyword=low-dose irradiation kn-keyword=low-dose irradiation en-keyword=antioxidative function kn-keyword=antioxidative function en-keyword=hepatopathy kn-keyword=hepatopathy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=43 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=41 end-page=49 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=200807 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=No Different Sensitivity in Terms of Whole-Body Irradiation between Normal and Acatalasemic Mice en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=To elucidate the radiosensitivity of an acatalasemic mouse, we examined the time and dose-dependency in the survival rates, the lymphocytes and the intestinal epithelial cells, and the antioxidant function after 3.0 to 12.0 Gy whole body irradiation. Results showed that no significant differences between acatalasemic mice and normal mice were observed in the survival rates and the histological changes in spleens and small intestine after each irradiation. The catalase activities in livers and spleens of acatalasemic mice were significantly lower than those of normal mice and the glutathione peroxidase activity in livers of acatalasemic mice was significantly higher than that of normal mice. At 10 days after 6.0 Gy irradiation, the catalase activities in livers of acatalasemic and normal mice and that in spleens of normal mice significantly decreased compared with no-irradiation control, and there were no differences between those catalase activities. The total glutathione content in acatalasemic mice was significantly higher than that in normal mice at 10 days after 6.0 Gy irradiation. These findings suggested that the radiosensitivity of acatalasemic mice in terms of whole body irradiation doesn’t significantly differ from that of normal mice, probably due to compensated sufficient contents of glutathione peroxidase and total glutathione in acatalasemic mice. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NakagawaShinya en-aut-sei=Nakagawa en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MizuguchiYuko en-aut-sei=Mizuguchi en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakodaAkihiro en-aut-sei=Sakoda en-aut-mei=Akihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NomuraTakaharu en-aut-sei=Nomura en-aut-mei=Takaharu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=WangDa-Hong en-aut-sei=Wang en-aut-mei=Da-Hong kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabeAtsushi en-aut-sei=Kawabe en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Radiation Safety Research Center, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=acatalasemic mouse kn-keyword=acatalasemic mouse en-keyword=radiosensitivity kn-keyword=radiosensitivity en-keyword=catalase kn-keyword=catalase en-keyword=glutathione peroxidase kn-keyword=glutathione peroxidase en-keyword=total glutathione kn-keyword=total glutathione END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=48 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=505 end-page=513 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20071121 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Inhibitory Effects of Prior Low-dose X-irradiation on Ischemia-reperfusion Injury in Mouse Paw en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We have reported that low-dose, unlike high-dose, irradiation enhanced antioxidation function and reduced oxidative damage. On the other hand, ischemia-reperfusion injury is induced by reactive oxygen species. In this study, we examined the inhibitory effects of prior low-dose X-irradiation on ischemia-reperfusion injury in mouse paw. BALB/c mice were irradiated by sham or 0.5 Gy of X-ray. At 4 hrs after irradiation, the left hind leg was bound 10 times with a rubber ring for 0.5, 1, or 2 hrs and the paw thickness was measured. Results show that the paw swelling thickness by ischemia for 0.5 hr was lower than that for 2 hrs. At 1 hr after reperfusion from ischemia for 1 hr, superoxide dismutase activity in serum was increased in those mice which received 0.5 Gy irradiation and in the case of the ischemia for 0.5 or 1 hr, the paw swelling thicknesses were inhibited by 0.5 Gy irradiation. In addition, interstitial edema in those mice which received 0.5 Gy irradiation was less than that in the mice which underwent by sham irradiation. These findings suggest that the ischemia-reperfusion injury is inhibited by the enhancement of antioxidation function by 0.5 Gy irradiation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MizuguchiYuko en-aut-sei=Mizuguchi en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=Edema kn-keyword=Edema en-keyword=Ischemia-reperfusion injury kn-keyword=Ischemia-reperfusion injury en-keyword=Low-dose irradiation kn-keyword=Low-dose irradiation en-keyword=Reactive oxygen species kn-keyword=Reactive oxygen species en-keyword=Antioxidation function kn-keyword=Antioxidation function END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=45 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=89 end-page=95 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=20040507 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Inhibitory Effects of Prior Low-dose X-ray Irradiation on Carbon Tetrachloride-induced Hepatopathy in Acatalasemic Mice en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The catalase activities in blood and organs of the acatalasemic (C3H/AnLCsbCsb) mouse of C3H strain are lower than those of the normal (C3H/AnLCsaCsa) mouse. We examined the effects of prior low-dose (0.5 Gy) X-ray irradiation, which reduced the oxidative damage under carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatopathy in the acatalasemic or normal mice. The acatalasemic mice showed a significantly lower catalase activity and a significantly higher glutathione peroxidase activity compared with those in the normal mice. Moreover, low-dose irradiation increased the catalase activity in the acatalasemic mouse liver to a level similar to that of the normal mouse liver. Pathological examinations and analyses of blood glutamic oxaloacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminase activity and lipid peroxide levels showed that carbon tetrachloride induced hepatopathy was inhibited by low-dose irradiation. These findings may indicate that the free radical reaction induced by the lack of catalase and the administration of carbon tetrachloride is more properly neutralized by high glutathione peroxidase activity and low-dose irradiation in the acatalasemic mouse liver. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NomuraTakaharu en-aut-sei=Nomura en-aut-mei=Takaharu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=WangDa-Hong en-aut-sei=Wang en-aut-mei=Da-Hong kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriShuji en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Shuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=HanamotoKatsumi en-aut-sei=Hanamoto en-aut-mei=Katsumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KiraShohei en-aut-sei=Kira en-aut-mei=Shohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Chair of Medical Radioscience, and Department of Public Health and Pharmacology, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Chair of Medical Radioscience, and Department of Public Health and Pharmacology, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Low Dose Radiation Research Center, Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Chair of Medical Radioscience, and Department of Public Health and Pharmacology, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Public Health, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Pharmacology, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Chair of Medical Radioscience, and Department of Public Health and Pharmacology, Okayama University Medical School affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Public Health, Okayama University Medical School en-keyword=Acatalasemic mouse kn-keyword=Acatalasemic mouse en-keyword=Catalase kn-keyword=Catalase en-keyword=CCl4 kn-keyword=CCl4 en-keyword=Hepatotoxicity kn-keyword=Hepatotoxicity en-keyword=Low-dose X-irradiation kn-keyword=Low-dose X-irradiation en-keyword=Antioxidant substances kn-keyword=Antioxidant substances END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=35 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=713 end-page=722 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20120401 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Protective Effects of Radon Inhalation on Carrageenan-Induced Inflammatory Paw Edema in Mice en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We assessed whether radon inhalation inhibited carrageenan-induced inflammation in mice. Carrageenan (1% v/v) was injected subcutaneously into paws of mice that had or had not inhaled approximately 2,000 Bq/m3 of radon for 24 h. Radon inhalation significantly increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activities and significantly decreased lipid peroxide levels in mouse paws, indicating that radon inhalation activates antioxidative functions. Carrageenan administration induced paw edema and significantly increased tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and nitric oxide in serum. However, radon inhalation significantly reduced carrageenan-induced paw edema. Serum TNF-α levels were lower in the radon-treated mice than in sham-treated mice. In addition, SOD and catalase activities in paws were significantly higher in the radon-treated mice than in the sham-treated mice. These findings indicated that radon inhalation had anti-inflammatory effects and inhibited carrageenan-induced inflammatory paw edema. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro

examined the inhibitory effects of low-dose X-irradiation on mouse brain tissue with cold-induced injury by comparing tissue samples from three groups of mice: control, sham-irradiated cold-exposed, and X-ray-irradiated (0.5 Gy) cold-exposed mice. The water content in brain increased significantly in the sham-irradiated group following the cold-induced injury relative to the control group. However, water content in brain tissue from the X-ray-irradiated group was significantly lower than that from the sham-irradiated group. Levels of antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione, in brain tissue from the X-ray-irradiated group were higher than those from the sham-irradiated group. Moreover, the cold injury-induced cell death, particularly apoptosis, while low-dose irradiation inhibited cell death, especially among glial cells, but not numeral cells. These findings suggest that prior low-dose X-irradiation activated antioxidant function and inhibited cold-induced brain injury. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YoshimotoMasaaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimoto en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyotaTeruaki en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Teruaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaokaKiyonori en-aut-sei=Yamaoka en-aut-mei=Kiyonori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University en-keyword=cold injury kn-keyword=cold injury en-keyword=brain edema kn-keyword=brain edema en-keyword=0.5 Gy irradiation kn-keyword=0.5 Gy irradiation en-keyword=antioxidative function kn-keyword=antioxidative function END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=54 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=111 end-page=118 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=200006 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The perineuronal proteoglycan surface coat in the adult rat brain, with special reference to its reactions to Gomori's ammoniacal silver. en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=

The present study showed that many neurons in the adult rat brain possessed a perineuronal sulfated proteoglycan surface coat which reacted to cationic iron colloid and aldehyde fuchsin. This surface coat was stained supravitally with Ehrlich's methylene blue and doubly stained with Ehrlich's methylene blue and aldehyde fuchsin. The surface coat was also stained with Gomori's ammoniacal silver and doubly stained with Gomori's ammoniacal silver and cationic iron colloid. The surface coat was usually expressed together with a nerve cell surface glycoprotein net detectable with lectin Wisteria floribunda agglutinin. These findings indicate that the perineuronal proteoglycan surface coat is identical to Cajal's superficial reticulum and contains some collagenous elements. It was further demonstrated that collagenase digestion erased Gomori's ammoniacal silver impregnation within the perineuronal proteoglycan surface coat.

The accessory ascending cervical artery (Murakami et al., 1996), which arises from the subclavian artery and ascends between the scalenus anterior and medius muscles, was studied in 87 Japanese adult cadavers (174 sides), with special attention being given to its origin, distribution, and relationship to other arteries at the cervical or scalenus region. In 154 sides (88.5%), the accessory ascending cervical artery was found to originate from the subclavian artery behind the scalenus anterior muscle, and to branch out to the scalenus anterior and medius muscles as well as those entering the 5th and 6th intervertebral foramens along the 6th and 7th cervical nerves. This artery arose independently in 105 sides. The accessory ascending cervical artery issued off or formed a common trunk with the transverse cervical artery and/or costocervical trunk in 49 sides. In cases lacking the accessory ascending cervical artery, it was usually compensated for by the costocervial trunk and/or transverse cervical artery (18 sides). Common trunk formation with the vertebral, internal thoracic, or suprascapular arteries was not observed. The authors suggest that the accessory ascending cervical artery, the transverse cervical artery, and the costocervical trunk should be grouped into one arterial system, a system that may be a remnant of the precostal longitudinal anastomoses of intersegmental arteries of the dorsal aorta behind the scalenus anterior muscle.

The adductor pollicis muscle was studied in fifty hands of Japanese adult cadavers of both sexes. The radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle has carpal and metacarpal origins and an insertion into the wing tendon of the extensor apparatus. This portion was located dorsal to the palmar metacarpophalangeal articular nerve and superficial palmar metacarpal artery. Thus, the radial portion of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle (more strictly, the slips dorsal to the palmar-penetrating twig of the ulnar nerve) is similar to the palmar interosseous muscles, except that its slips cannot be clearly distinguished from each other.

The celiac and mesenteric arterial system including the left gastric, splenic, common hepatic, and superior mesenteric arteries shows various types of origins, courses, ramifications and anastomoses. In order to explain the various expressions of this system, we have proposed a typological model, in which celiacomesenteric arteries develop as paired or bilaterally symmetrical primordial vessels originated from the anterior aspect of the aorta, and these vessels anastomose each other with longitudinal and horizontal pathways. Here, we report 3 unusual cases characterized by arterial rings, formed by the left gastric, left accessory hepatic, proper hepatic, anterior pancreaticoduodenal, and dorsal pancreatic arteries. The dorsal pancreatic and anterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries are located to the right and left of the embryonic pancreas developing in the dorsal mesentery, respectively. Such hepatopancreatic arterial rings simultaneously containing right and left elements can only be explained using our typological model, in which the concept of paired arteries or bilateral symmetry is introduced.

Neurons with strongly negatively charged surface coats were recognized in mammalian, avian, reptilian, amphibian and piscine brains. Many large-sized neurons had strongly negatively charged surface coats in the visual cortex and brain stem of the cow, cat, guinea pig, mouse, quail and parakeet. Such neurons were also seen in the brain stem of the lower vertebrates such as the house lizard, Japanese terrapin, bullfrog, newt, carp and sweetfish.

When the tissues were treated with formic acid until they became semitransparent, fixed tissues showed the same organization of the elastic tissues as unfixed tissues. When tissues were treated with formic acid for a short time, the intimal elastic lamina was observed as a plate with numerous small pores or fenestrae, whereas long treatment revealed that the lamina consisted of a network of elastic fibers. The tunica media consisted of concentrically arranged elastic lamellae. There were 50-60 elastic lamellae in humans and about 30 in the rabbit. The elastic fibers, that consisted of elastic microfibrils, ran longitudinally, repeatedly branching and anastomosing, and formed the network of the elastic lamella. Between the adjacent elastic lamellae stretched interlamellar elastic fibers. Thus, the elastic tissues in the aorta formed an integral network, which seems to be highly associated with the aortic function of distributing the pressure applied to the vascular wall. Disruptions of the integrity of the elastic tissue architecture may be responsible for the increased incidence of hypertension with age. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=LiuJing-Jie en-aut-sei=Liu en-aut-mei=Jing-Jie kn-aut-name=劉晶潔 kn-aut-sei=劉 kn-aut-mei=晶潔 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtaniOsamu en-aut-sei=Ohtani en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=大谷修 kn-aut-sei=大谷 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KiutaAkio en-aut-sei=Kiuta en-aut-mei=Akio kn-aut-name=菊田彰夫 kn-aut-sei=菊田 kn-aut-mei=彰夫 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukaAiji en-aut-sei=Ohtsuka en-aut-mei=Aiji kn-aut-name=大塚愛二 kn-aut-sei=大塚 kn-aut-mei=愛二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name=田口勇仁 kn-aut-sei=田口 kn-aut-mei=勇仁 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MurakamiTakuro en-aut-sei=Murakami en-aut-mei=Takuro kn-aut-name=村上宅郎 kn-aut-sei=村上 kn-aut-mei=宅郎 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SanoTadashi en-aut-sei=Sano en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name=佐能正 kn-aut-sei=佐能 kn-aut-mei=正 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=医療法人社団光生病院 en-keyword=aorta kn-keyword=aorta en-keyword=elastic tissue kn-keyword=elastic tissue en-keyword=scanning electron microscopy kn-keyword=scanning electron microscopy en-keyword=human kn-keyword=human en-keyword=rabbit kn-keyword=rabbit END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=105 cd-vols= no-issue=1-2 article-no= start-page=49 end-page=53 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1993 dt-pub=19930227 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Central nervous cells with strongly negatively-charged surface-coats kn-title=強陰性荷電被膜をもつ中枢神経細胞 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Light microscopy of tissue sections stained with cationic iron colloid (pH 1.0-2.0) and nuclear fast red or with this colloid and thionin revealed the presence of numerous neurons with a strong negative-charge or coated with sulfated proteoglycans such as chondroitin sulfates in the adult rat brain. These neurons were distributed mainly in the hippocampal subiculum, zona incerta, cerebral cortex (V lamina), medical cerebellar nuclei and certain other nuclei such as ventral pontine nuclei. In the hippocampal formation, the strongly negatively-charged cells seemed to be identical with the GABAergic inhibitory interneurons reactive to the lectin Vicia villosa agglutinin. The neurons, including the GABAergic Purkinje's cells, of the cerebellar cortex showed no reaction to the cationic iron colloid at pH 1.0-2.0. Many non-GABAergic large neurons of the ventral pontine nuclei were well reactive to the colloid at pH 1.0-2.0. These findings suggest that the cationic iron colloid at pH 1.0-2.0 mainly stains some subsets of GABA-ergic neurons, and additionally stains some non-GABAergic interneurons projecting long association or commissural fibers. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MurakamiTakuro en-aut-sei=Murakami en-aut-mei=Takuro kn-aut-name=村上宅郎 kn-aut-sei=村上 kn-aut-mei=宅郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaguchiTakehito en-aut-sei=Taguchi en-aut-mei=Takehito kn-aut-name=田口勇仁 kn-aut-sei=田口 kn-aut-mei=勇仁 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtsukaAiji en-aut-sei=Ohtsuka en-aut-mei=Aiji kn-aut-name=大塚愛二 kn-aut-sei=大塚 kn-aut-mei=愛二 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部第二解剖学教室 en-keyword=Cationic iron colloid staining kn-keyword=Cationic iron colloid staining en-keyword=central nervous system kn-keyword=central nervous system en-keyword=neurons kn-keyword=neurons en-keyword=sulfated proteoglycans kn-keyword=sulfated proteoglycans END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=108 cd-vols= no-issue=3-6 article-no= start-page=145 end-page=148 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1996 dt-pub=19960629 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Artery ascending between the scalenus anterior and medius muscles.
