Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) play an important role in vascular remodeling. Heterogeneity and phenotypic changes in SMCs are usually accompanied by a morphological difference, i.e., elongated/spindle-like versus spread-out or epithelioid/rhomboid cell shapes. However, it is not known whether

We studied the effects of cytostatic drugs on porcine coronary artery spindle-shaped (S) and rhomboid (R) smooth muscle cell (SMC) biological activities related to intimal thickening (IT) formation. Imatinib, and to a lesser extent curcumin, decreased proliferation of S- and R-SMCs and migratory and

Regional pedicled musculocutaneous flaps are the mainstay of the head and neck reconstruction. They provide a rapid, highly reliable and single-staged technique that is applicable in most cases. The rhombotrapezious island musculocutaneous flap is valuable in the base and craniomaxilloface reconstru

バイオメーターを使用することにより, 五十肩における体幹の回旋運動に伴う肩甲胸郭結合での肩甲帯の運動に関与する菱形筋の活動変化を検討した。対象は, 筋性拘縮期にある五十肩12例と健常者12例。健常者では左右の菱形筋に明確な波形の違いがある非対称的活動パターンの変化が認められた。五十肩では健常者と同様の非対称的活動変化がみられたが, その波形は著しく低下していた。五十肩の関節可動域訓練においては, …
