Abstract
[Purpose] To clarify rotator cuff muscular activity in the raised position of the closed
kinetic chain (CKC) exercise. [Subjects] Twenty-nine cases were studied, 19 men and 10
women (average age 21.5 ±4.7 years old, average body weight 60.1 kg ±11.4). [Methods] To
determine the effects of the closed kinetic chain exercise on the upper limb, we measured
the surface EMG of the infraspinatus muscle, the trapezius (upper fiber) and the deltoid
(middle fiber) with the arm elevated. [Results] Our results show that at an elevation
angle of 150° in the scapular plane of the upper limb, with 5% body weight load, the EMG
activities of the infraspinatus muscle are approximately 30% of maximum voluntary
contraction (MVC). [Conclusion] The raised position of the CKC exercise is effective in
physical therapy for functional recovery of the infraspinatus muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome type 2 is a rare hereditary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the XIAP gene. This immunodeficiency frequently results in hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, although hypogammaglobulinemia and dysgammaglobulinemia are also common. OBJECTIVE We identified 17 patients from 12 Japanese families with mutations in XIAP. The Glu349del mutation was observed in 3 patients, each from a different family. Interestingly, these patients exhibited dysgammaglobulinemia but not hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. We conducted an immunological study of patients carrying Glu349del and other mutations to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of dysgammaglobulinemia in patients with mutations in the XIAP gene. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed an immunological study of 2 patients carrying the Glu349del mutation and 8 patients with other mutations. RESULTS Flow cytometry showed that the percentage of memory B cells in patients with a mutation in XIAP was lower than that observed in the healthy controls. The patients with the Glu349del mutation had a lower percentage of memory B cells than those with other mutations. Ig production was reduced in patients with the Glu349del mutation. Increased susceptibility to apoptosis was observed in the patients with other mutations. Susceptibility to apoptosis was normal in patients with Glu349del. Microarray analysis indicated that expression of Ig-related genes was reduced in patients with the Glu349del mutation and that the pattern was different from that observed in the healthy controls or patients with other mutations in XIAP. CONCLUSIONS Patients carrying the Glu349del mutation in the XIAP gene may have a clinically and immunologically distinct phenotype from patients with other XIAP mutations. The Glu349del mutation may be associated with dysgammaglobulinemia.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study explored the roles of physical therapists (PTs) in introducing
assistive products, which are essential for living securely and stably at home, and
examined how PTs can fulfill these roles more efficiently and effectively. [Subjects and
Methods] A questionnaire on introducing assistive products was administered to PTs working
at randomly selected hospitals, health-care facilities for the elderly requiring long-term
care, home-visit nursing stations, and other such facilities and to PTs providing physical
therapy directly to the home-bound elderly disabled. The subjects of the study were 77 PTs
who returned valid responses. [Results] For awareness of systems for assistive product’s
introduction, PTs were more aware of the system based on the Long-Term Care (LTC)
Insurance Act than the system based on the Act on Welfare for the Home-Bound Elderly
Disabled. For PTs handling assistive product’s introduction for the home-bound elderly
disabled, approximately 91% of the respondents answered that they had handled some cases
of assistive product’s introduction, and PTs with longer clinical experience had handled
more assistive product’s introduction cases. [Conclusion] The results demonstrated that
PTs understand the work involved in introducing assistive products work well and that they
handle it. The results, however, also suggested that educational and operational
improvements are urgently required for PTs introducing assistive products essential for
the lives of the home-bound elderly disabled.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Real-time tissue elastography is an innovative tool that informs the surgeon about tissue elasticity by applying the principle of ultrasonography. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of intraoperative real-time tissue elastography (IORTE) for the detection and characterization of liver tumours.
Methods
Between October 2010 and November 2011, IORTE was performed for liver lesions after the completion of routine B-mode intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUS). The elasticity images of all tumours, except those of cysts, were classified into six categories according to modified criteria (types 1–6), according to the degree of strain contrast with the surrounding liver. The concordance of IORTE with pathological examination of the tumour, B-mode IOUS and clinical diagnosis after follow-up was assessed.
Results
Images were obtained from 92 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), 92 adenocarcinomas, 19 other malignant tumours and 18 benign tumours in 158 patients. Using a minilinear probe, 73 of 88 HCCs were classified as having a ‘HCC pattern’ (type 3, 4 or 5), resulting in a sensitivity of 83·0 per cent, a specificity of 67·2 per cent and an accuracy of 73·7 per cent. Some 66 of 90 adenocarcinomas were classified as ‘adenocarcinoma pattern’ (type 6), resulting in a sensitivity of 73·3 per cent, specificity of 95·1 per cent and accuracy of 85·9 per cent. IORTE detected seven new lesions (8 per cent).
Conclusion
IORTE is useful for the detection and characterization of liver tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenic vein ligation may result in sinistral (left-sided) portal hypertension and gastrointestinal haemorrhage. The aim of this study was to analyse the pathogenesis of sinistral portal hypertension following splenic vein ligation in pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS Patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer between January 2005 and December 2012 were included in this retrospective study. The venous flow pattern from the spleen and splenic hypertrophy were examined after surgery. RESULTS Of 103 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with portal vein resection, 43 had splenic vein ligation. There were two predominant venous flow patterns from the spleen. In the varicose route (27 patients), flow from the spleen passed to colonic varices and/or other varicose veins. In the non-varicose route, flow from the spleen passed through a splenocolonic collateral (14 patients) or a spontaneous splenorenal shunt (2 patients). The varicose route was associated with significantly greater splenic hypertrophy than the non-varicose route (median splenic hypertrophy ratio 1·52 versus 0·94; P < 0·001). All patients with the varicose route had colonic varices, and none had a right colic marginal vein at the hepatic flexure. CONCLUSION Pancreaticoduodenectomy with splenic vein ligation may lead to sinistral portal hypertension. To avoid the development of varices, it is important to preserve the right colic marginal vein. Reconstruction of the splenic vein should be considered if the right colic marginal vein is divided.

Abstract
It is important to search the biomarker to predict the development and prognosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) such as Hashimoto's disease (HD) and Graves' disease (GD). MicroRNA (miR) bind directly to the 3' untranslated region of specific target mRNAs to suppress the expression of proteins, promote the degradation of target mRNAs and regulate immune response. miR-125a is known to be a negative regulator of regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES), interleukin (IL)-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β; however, its association with AITDs remains unknown. To clarify the association between AITDs and miR-125a, we genotyped the rs12976445 C/T, rs10404453 A/G and rs12975333 G/T polymorphisms in the MIR125A gene, which encodes miR-125a, using direct sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods in 155 patients with GD, 151 patients with HD and 118 healthy volunteers. We also examined the expression of miR-125a in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 55 patients with GD, 79 patients with HD and 38 healthy volunteers using quantitative real-time PCR methods. We determined that the CC genotype and C allele of the rs12976445 C/T polymorphism were significantly more frequent in patients with HD compared with control subjects (P < 0·05) and in intractable GD compared with GD in remission (P < 0·05). The expression of miR-125a was correlated negatively with age (P = 0·0010) and down-regulated in patients with GD compared with control subjects (P = 0.0249). In conclusion, miR-125a expression in PBMCs and the rs12976445 C/T polymorphism were associated with AITD development and prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The toll-like receptor (TLR) family is thought to be expressed in many cell types in the skin and play a role in various diseases. The expression pattern and role of TLRs in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is to be clarified. We investigated the expression profiles of TLR-related genes in SSc fibroblasts, and tried to clarify their roles in the pathogenesis of this disease. METHODS The expression profile of TLR-related genes was assessed by gene array. Real-time PCR was used to confirm the array result. The protein expression of TLRs and type I collagen was determined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS PCR array revealed that several genes were up- or down-regulated in SSc fibroblasts compared to normal cells. Among them, both mRNA and protein levels of TLR5 and TLR10 were up-regulated in SSc fibroblasts. The transfection of Smad3 siRNA into SSc fibroblasts resulted in the down-regulation of TLR proteins. There was no significant difference in mRNA half-lives of TLR5 and TLR10 between normal and SSc fibroblasts. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that TLRs expression was strongly detected in SSc fibroblasts in vivo. The stimulation of TLR5 signal with flagellin reduced the expression of type I collagen in SSc fibroblasts, but not in normal fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS TLR5 and TLR10 expression is increased in SSc fibroblasts in vitro and in vivo, probably at transcript level via the TGF-β/Smad3 activation. Furthermore, TLR5 itself may have suppressive effects on collagen expression, and its overexpression in SSc fibroblasts may be the negative feedback against tissue fibrosis.

Abstract
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a slowly progressive, low grade, metastasizing neoplasm, associated with cellular invasion and cystic destruction of the pulmonary parenchyma. Although the source of LAM cells that infiltrate the lung is unknown, available evidence indicates that the disease spreads primarily through lymphatic channels, often involving abdominal, axial, and retroperitoneal nodes, suggestive of an origin in the pelvis. LAM cells harbor mutations in tuberous sclerosis genes and produce lymphangiogenic growth factors, which facilitate access to and movement through the lymphatic system and likely play an important role in destructive tissue remodeling in the lung. Lymphatic manifestations of LAM include thoracic duct wall invasion, lymphangioleiomyoma formation, chylous fluid collections in the peritoneal, pleural, and pericardial spaces, chyloptysis, chylocolporrheal chylometrorrhea, chyle leak from the umbilicus, chylous pulmonary congestion, and lower extremity lymphedema. LAM lesions express lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D; growth factor receptors, VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3; and markers LYVE-1 and podoplanin, and are laced with chaotic lymphatic channels. Serum VEGF-D is elevated in 70% of patients with LAM and is a clinically useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarker. Molecular targeted therapy with sirolimus stabilizes lung function, is anti-lymphangiogenic, and is highly effective for the lymphatic and chylous complications of LAM. Future trials in patients with LAM who have lymphatic manifestations or elevated serum VEGF-D will likely focus on the VEGF-C/VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent findings indicate that periostin, an extracellular matrix protein induced by T helper 2 cytokines, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVES To determine whether serum periostin level is associated with clinical phenotype in adult patients with AD. METHODS An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to determine serum periostin levels in 257 adult patients with AD, 66 patients with psoriasis vulgaris (PV) as a disease control and 25 healthy controls. Serum periostin levels were analysed together with clinical characteristics and laboratory parameters, including thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), blood eosinophil count and total IgE. Immunohistochemical analysis evaluated the expression of periostin in association with various clinical phenotypes of AD. The effect of treatment on serum periostin level was also assessed. RESULTS Serum periostin was significantly higher in patients with AD than in patients with PV and healthy controls. Periostin level was found to be positively correlated with disease severity, TARC level, LDH level and eosinophil count, but not with IgE level. Higher serum periostin level was observed in patients with extrinsic AD compared with patients with intrinsic AD; the positive correlation of disease severity disappeared in patients with intrinsic AD. Robust expression of periostin was detected in the dermis of patients with AD with erythroderma, lichenification and, to a lesser extent, scaly erythema. Serial measurement of serum periostin revealed decreased levels of periostin after treatment for AD. CONCLUSIONS Periostin may play a critical role in disease severity and chronicity in the pathogenesis of AD.

Abstract
Gravitational lensing due to the large-scale distribution of matter in the cosmos distorts the primordial cosmic microwave background (CMB) and thereby induces new, small-scale B-mode polarization. This signal carries detailed information about the distribution of all the gravitating matter between the observer and CMB last scattering surface. We report the first direct evidence for polarization lensing based on purely CMB information, from using the four-point correlations of even- and odd-parity E- and B-mode polarization mapped over ∼30 square degrees of the sky measured by the POLARBEAR experiment. These data were analyzed using a blind analysis framework and checked for spurious systematic contamination using null tests and simulations. Evidence for the signal of polarization lensing and lensing B modes is found at 4.2σ (stat+sys) significance. The amplitude of matter fluctuations is measured with a precision of 27%, and is found to be consistent with the Lambda cold dark matter cosmological model. This measurement demonstrates a new technique, capable of mapping all gravitating matter in the Universe, sensitive to the sum of neutrino masses, and essential for cleaning the lensing B-mode signal in searches for primordial gravitational waves.

Abstract
Thylakoids of genetically engineered species of Synechococcus PCC7942 were investigated by thermoluminescence (TL), polarographic and herbicide-binding studies. The results were as follows: 1) Deletion of either copy I or copy II/III of the psbA gene family resulted in modified oscillation patterns of flash induced TL and O2 evolution compared to wild type cells. 2) Replacement of Ser264 in psbA I by Ala or Gly inducing strong herbicide resistance leads to a downshift of the TL peak temperature of B-band by 10 C and alters the oscillation pattern of flash induced TL and O2 evolution significantly to exhibit a pattern with comparatively high O2 yield after the 2nd flash. Additional deletion of psbA II III does not lead to significant changes compared to the single mutated strains. 3) Contrary to Ser,M mutants, replacement of Phe255 by Tyr in psbA I alone, which also induces herbicide resistance, is not accompanied by- corresponding changes in TL peak temperature and/or oscillation pattern of flash-induced TL and O2 evolution. However, strongly altered properties are observed after additional deletion of psbA II/III. Based on these data it is inferred that expression of either psbA I or psbA II III genes only gives rise to PS II complexes slightly different in their function. Site-directed muta- genesis of psbA I gene modulates the expression ratio between copies I and II/III. The possible implications are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The mode of action of three types of conjugated enamine compounds was investigated by means of thermoluminescence measurement. Cyanoacrylate and 2-(l-ethoxyethylam inom ethylidene)- 4-dodecyl-5,5-dim ethyl-cyclohexane-1,3-dione (ACm12) converted the B-band (30 °C) arising from S2QB
- charge recombination to a downshifted 6 °C-band. This band was proved to be identical with the DCM U-induced Q-band (6 °C) arising from S2QA
- recombination, indicating that these two compounds block QA to QB electron transport. 3-(1-dodecylam inopropyridene)-6- methyl-2H-pyran-2,4-dione (APp12 ), on the other hand, induced an abnormal band peaking at 15 °C between the Q-band and B-band. From the gradual downshift of its peak temperature in titration experiments, this band was assigned to arise from a modified S2QB
- charge pair, in which the properties of either QB
- or S2 is altered. The 15 °C-band showed normal oscillation during the first 2 flashes, but the oscillation was interrupted thereafter. Another therm oluminescence analysis by use of post flash low temperature illumination protocol revealed that APp12 affects neither QA to QB nor QB
2- to PQ electron transport, but specifically blocks S3 to S0 transition. These results indicate that APp12 is a new-type PS II inhibitor.

Abstract
Background: Tropomyosin-related receptor kinase B (TrkB) promotes proliferation and invasion, relating to poor prognosis of various malignancies. We examined the role of TrkB at the invasive front of gastric cancer (GC) and its association with tumour cell dedifferentiation and tumour budding. Methods: Immunoreactive TrkB was evaluated at the tumour centre and margin using whole-tissue sections of 320 GC patients. Tumour cell dedifferentiation was defined as higher histologic grade at the tumour margin than the surface or tumour centre. Tumour budding was also scored on cytokeratin-stained sections. Results: Sixty-five patients (20%) showed higher TrkB expression at the invasive front (TrkB expression was higher at the tumour margin than tumour centre). It was significantly associated with several aggressive phenotypes in the full cohort (n=320). It showed a prognostic significance in test subgroup (n=98) and was identified as an independent prognostic factor (HR=2.09; 95% CI: 1.26–3.53) by multivariate analysis in validation subgroup (n=222). Twenty-one patients showed tumour cell dedifferentiation. In predominantly differentiated tumour, higher TrkB at the invasive front was significantly associated with tumour budding rather than tumour cell dedifferentiation. Conclusions: Assessment of immunoreactive TrkB at the invasive front by whole-tissue sections provides prognostic information for GC patients.

Abstract
Recent accurate measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) species by ATIC-2, CREAM, and PAMELA reveal an unexpected hardening in the proton and He spectra above a few hundred GeV, a gradual softening of the spectra just below a few hundred GeV, and a harder spectrum of He compared to that of protons. These newly discovered features may offer a clue to the origin of high-energy CRs. We use the Fermi Large Area Telescope observations of the γ-ray emission from Earth's limb for an indirect measurement of the local spectrum of CR protons in the energy range ∼90 GeV-6 TeV (derived from a photon energy range 15 GeV-1 TeV). Our analysis shows that single power law and broken power law spectra fit the data equally well and yield a proton spectrum with index 2.68±0.04 and 2.61±0.08 above ∼200 GeV, respectively.

Abstract
We reconstruct the gravitational lensing convergence signal from cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization data taken by the Polarbear experiment and cross-correlate it with cosmic infrared background maps from the Herschel satellite. From the cross spectra, we obtain evidence for gravitational lensing of the CMB polarization at a statistical significance of 4.0σ and indication of the presence of a lensing B-mode signal at a significance of 2.3σ. We demonstrate that our results are not biased by instrumental and astrophysical systematic errors by performing null tests, checks with simulated and real data, and analytical calculations. This measurement of polarization lensing, made via the robust cross-correlation channel, not only reinforces POLARBEAR auto-correlation measurements, but also represents one of the early steps towards establishing CMB polarization lensing as a powerful new probe of cosmology and astrophysics.

Abstract
Risperidone (RIS) is a frequently used efficacious psychotropic drug. However, it prolongs the QTc interval and may cause fatal arrhythmia. Little is known on the determinants of this RIS side effect. RIS is metabolized by CYP2D6, and is subject to drug efflux by P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene. P-gp removes both RIS and its metabolite 9-OH-RIS from cardiac tissue. To investigate the effect of RIS metabolism and ABCB1 gene polymorphisms on QTc, steady-state plasma RIS and 9-OH-RIS levels, and QTc were measured. CYP2D6, ABCB1 C3435T and G2677T/A genotypes were determined in 66 schizophrenia patients on RIS. QTc was significantly longer in patients with ABCB1 3435CT+3435 TT than in those with 3435CC (P=0.006). ABCB1 G2677T/A genotype did not affect QTc. Multiple regression analysis showed that C/T or T/T genotypes at the ABCB1 C3435T locus, lower weight, and older age prolonged QTc. In summary, the T allele of the ABCB1 C3435T genotype should be considered in future diagnostic development efforts for RIS-associated QT.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study examined the quality of life (QOL) of homebound elderly hemiparetic
stroke patients and factors that affect it. [Subjects] The subjects of the study were 21
homebound elderly hemiparetic stroke patients who were 65 years old or over and required
care for daily living (12 males and 9 females, average age: 79.3 ± 8.4 years old). Their
physical and psychological conditions, QOL, and other characteristics were researched.
[Methods] The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) was used for the activities of daily
living (ADL) assessment, and the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36, Japanese
version 1.2) was used for the QOL assessment. [Results] No correlations were observed
between the QOL of homebound elderly hemiparetic stroke patients and their age and gender.
However, the results showed that their QOL was affected by their independence in ADL,
bedridden degree, and care-need level. [Conclusion] These results suggest that in order to
improve the QOL of homebound elderly hemiparetic stroke patients, ongoing rehabilitation
to improve independence in ADL and lower the bedridden degree and care-need level is
required.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION The authors analyzed treatment results for cervical cancer after subdividing Stage Ib into Stages Ib1 and Ib2 according to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) information. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects comprised 40 cases of Stage Ib cervical cancer treated by definitive radiotherapy in Kitasato University hospital and Tokyo University hospital from January 2000 to December 2008. The patients' ages ranged from 28 to 85 years (median: 68 years). The maximum tumor diameter measured with MRI ranged from undetectable to 60 mm (median: 25 mm). The authors classified tumors with the greatest dimension less than 40 mm as Stage Ib1 (29 cases) and those with the greatest dimension more than 40 mm as Ib2 (11 cases). All cases were treated with a combination of external beam irradiation and high-dose-rate intra-cavitary brachytherapy. Chemotherapy was combined with radiotherapy in 11 cases. RESULTS The follow-up time was from four to 109 months (median: 53 months). At the time of last observation, 37 cases survived, local recurrence was seen in none, and two cases showed distant metastasis. The two- and five-year overall survival rates of all cases were 97.5% and 89.5%, respectively. When a stage was subdivided and examined, the five-year overall survival rate of Stage Ib1 was 100% and that of Stage Ib2 was 50.5% (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION The authors suggest that the subdivision of stages using image information reflects the prognosis of Stage Ib cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial spin-labeling MR imaging permits safe, repeated CBF measurement. We investigated the potential and technical factors of arterial spin-labeling imaging in assessing cerebrovascular reactivity to acetazolamide. MATERIALS AND METHODS The regional CBF was measured in 8 healthy volunteers by use of a 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling sequence. Arterial spin labeling imaging was performed at rest and every 2 minutes after intravenous acetazolamide injection. To evaluate repeatability, regional CBF measurements were repeated without acetazolamide within an imaging session and on a separate day. Additionally, arterial spin-labeling imaging was performed at rest and after acetazolamide injection with different postlabeling delays, and regional cerebrovascular reactivity was calculated. RESULTS The regional CBF started to increase immediately after acetazolamide injection and peaked at approximately 10 minutes, followed by a slow decrease. Favorable intrasession repeatability was demonstrated, especially when scanner tuning was omitted between scans. Rest regional CBF was slightly lower with a postlabeling delay of 2525 ms than with a postlabeling delay of 1525 ms, and the postlabeling delay-dependent difference was more evident for regional CBF after acetazolamide injection and regional cerebrovascular reactivity. CONCLUSIONS Arterial spin-labeling imaging allows evaluation of the distribution, magnitude, and time course of cerebrovascular response to acetazolamide. The influence of the postlabeling delay on the estimated cerebrovascular reactivity should be noted.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare an inclusion complex of acetaminophen and β-cyclodextrin (molar ratio of 1:1). A jelly with inclusion complexes formed by kneading was prepared. The formation of inclusion complexes was assessed by powder X-ray diffraction patterns and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Jellies were prepared with xanthan gum, gelatin, and κ-carrageenan. The concentration of each jelling agent was 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% w/v. Viscoelasticity and dissolution characteristics were determined and osmometry was performed. PGWater(™), a commercial jelly for fluid replacement, served as a reference for viscoelastic characteristics and dissolution. Powder X-ray diffraction measurement revealed a different diffraction pattern for the kneading than for acetaminophen and β-cyclodextrin. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy revealed an absorption peak (at around 1655 cm(-1)) due to the carbonyl group and benzene ring (at around 1610 cm(-1)) of acetaminophen. In contrast, the kneaded mixture (1:1) had a shift in the absorption peak due to the carbonyl group (at around 1650 cm(-1)) in acetaminophen's molecular structure, and the formation of an inclusion complex was noted. The viscosity of xanthan gum-1.0, gelatin-1.5, and carrageenan-0.5 resembled the viscoelasticity of PGWater(™). The acetaminophen in gelatin-1.0 and carrageenan-0.5 had dissolution behavior similar to that of commercial acetaminophen preparations. The osmolality of jellies prepared in different concentrations ranged from about 20-50 mOsm/kg. Results suggested that carrageenan-0.5 could serve as a useful jelly vehicle for acetaminophen.
