Abstract
[Purpose] This study explored the roles of physical therapists (PTs) in living
environment maintenance, which is essential for living securely and stably at home, and
examines how physical therapists can fulfill these roles more efficiently and effectively.
[Subjects and Methods] A questionnaire on living environment maintenance was given 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 directly
providing physical therapy to the home-bound elderly disabled. The subjects of the study
were 77 PTs who returned valid responses. [Results] For awareness of systems for living
environment maintenance, 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. PTs who have worked at two or more types of medical, welfare, and intermediate
institutions were more aware of such systems than PTs who have worked at only one type.
For PTs handling living environment maintenance for the home-bound elderly disabled,
approximately 80% of respondents answered that they have handled some living environment
maintenance, and PTs with longer clinical experience have handled more living environment
maintenance cases. [Conclusion] The results demonstrated that PTs understand their living
environment maintenance work well and handle the work. The results, however, also
suggested that educational and operational improvements are urgently required for PTs
handling living environment maintenance essential for the lives of the home-bound elderly
disabled.

Abstract
[Purpose] We compared problematic behaviors of children according to the severity of
their mental retardation (MR) of intellect as categorized by the Ryouiku
Techou in this study, to investigate the influence of MR of intellect on
children's problematic behaviors. [Subjects] The subjects were 86 mentally retarded
children undergoing physical therapy at hospitals and other facilities. [Methods] The
examiners were 13 physical therapists and 8 occupational therapists who worked at the
hospital and knew the children well. The examiners individually assessed the subjects
using the Japanese version of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist. The subjects were divided
into two groups (A and non-A) according to the Ryouiku Techou standard.
[Results] No significant differences were observed between the groups except in the items
of stereotypy and lethargy. [Conclusion] Problematic behaviors other than stereotypy and
lethargy were not influenced by the Ryouiku Techou standard.

Abstract
Thoroughbred horses are seasonal mating animals, and their foals are born yearly in spring seasons. In northern regions or countries, the foals generally show a typical seasonal compensatory growth pattern, where their growth rate declines in winter and increases in the next spring. In this study, a new empirical approach is proposed to adjust for this compensatory growth when growth curve equations are estimated, by using BW of Japanese Thoroughbred colts and fillies raised in Hidaka, Hokkaido. Based on the traditional Richards growth curve equation, new growth curve equations were developed and fit to the weight-age data. The foals generally experience 2 major winter seasons before their debut in horseracing. The new equations had sigmoid subfunctions that can empirically adjust the first and second year compensatory growths, combined with the Richards biological parameter responsible for the maturity of animals. The unknown parameters included in the equations were estimated by SAS NLMIXED procedure. The goodness-of-fit was examined by using several indices of goodness-of-fit (i.e., Akaike's information criterion, Bayesian information criterion, -2 log likelihood, and residual sum of squares) for the multiple applications of the subfunctions. The indices indicated the best fit of the new equations including both subfunctions for the first and second compensatory growths to the weight-age data. The shapes of the growth curves were improved during the periods of compensatory growth. The proposed method is one of the useful approaches for adjusting multiple seasonal compensatory growths in growth curve estimations of Thoroughbreds and for the management of young horses during the compensatory periods.

Abstract
CONTEXT In acute glufosinate poisoning, sudden respiratory arrest and convulsion can occur after a latent period of 4-60 h. There is still no factor that accurately predicts the occurrence of these symptoms. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the predictors of severe effects following acute glufosinate poisoning. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective observational case series. The subjects were 16 patients who had acute glufosinate poisoning. They were divided into a group with respiratory arrest or convulsion during hospitalization (severe group) and a group without (non-severe group). The following characteristics (or predictors) were compared between the groups: age, sex, calculated amount of glufosinate (volume of ingested poison (glufosinate-containing herbicide) × glufosinate concentration of the product), time duration from poison ingestion to arrival at our hospital, use of gastric lavage, use of whole bowel irrigation, Glasgow Coma Scale, laboratory parameters, PaO₂/FiO₂ ratio (P/F ratio), shock index, and presence or absence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) on arrival. RESULTS The P/F ratio was significantly lower in the severe group than in the non-severe group (median, 287.5 vs. 409.0; P = 0.049). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for the predictor of increasing severity based on the P/F ratio. The area under the curve was 0.714, and the optimal cutoff point for increasing severity was 374.0. The sensitivity was 75.0%, specificity of 71.4%, and accuracy of 75.0%. The shock index was significantly higher (median, 0.52 vs. 0.41; P = 0.031). Significantly more patients had SIRS in the severe group than in the non-severe group (P = 0.015). Logistic regression analysis was performed with a backward elimination procedure. SIRS was selected as the independent predictor of increasing severity (odds ratio, 29.810; 95% confidence interval, 1.011-878.952; P = 0.049). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Severe effects following acute glufosinate poisoning were associated with two positive SIRS criteria. A low P/F ratio may be useful for predicting the occurrence of respiratory complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) gene is associated with asthma, but no functional genetic variations are known to associate with the disease or its related phenotypes. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of TBXA2R polymorphisms with asthma susceptibility and related phenotypes and to identify functionally relevant polymorphisms. METHODS We performed comprehensive sequencing of the TBXA2R gene in 48 Japanese control subjects and found a set of variants (SNP1 G>T rs2238634, SNP2 T>G rs2238633, SNP3 C>T rs2238632 and SNP4 G>A rs2238631) in intron 1 in linkage disequilibrium with c.795 T>C rs1131882, which was previously reported to be associated with asthma and related phenotypes. To investigate the effect of four common haplotypes (H1, H2, H3 and H4) on transcriptional activity, we performed a luciferase assay in primary bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) and human airway epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). We also studied the haplotype association with lung function, TBXA2R mRNA levels, and eosinophil fraction/count in peripheral blood in childhood-onset asthma patients and/or controls. RESULTS H2 and H4, containing minor alleles of SNP2 and SNP3, had significantly higher transcriptional activities than H1 consisting of major alleles (P < 0.001 in BSMCs and BEAS-2B). Homozygotes for redefined haplotype h2 corresponding to minor alleles of SNP2 and SNP3 were associated with lower lung function in childhood-onset asthma patients compared to other zygotes (baseline Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/ Forced vital capacity (FVC) and Forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of the FVC (%FEF(25-75%)): P = 0.00201 and 0.0128, respectively, and post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC and %FEF(25-75%): P = 0.00224 and 0.0393 respectively). Haplotype h2 was also associated with higher mRNA levels in control peripheral blood cells and higher blood eosinophil fractions and counts in female controls. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Genetic variants were identified in the TBXA2R gene that influenced transcriptional activity and were associated with asthma-related phenotypes. Thromboxane pathways may therefore play important roles in airway inflammation and remodelling in asthma patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We performed indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and established a method for the quantitative measurement of appropriate parameters to assess peripheral perfusion and the applicability of ICGA tests. METHODS Twenty-one patients with PAD underwent revascularization procedures with pre- and postinterventional ICGA tests. The ICGA parameters, which included the magnitude of intensity of indocyanine green, the time to maximum intensity, and the time from fluorescence onset to half the maximum intensity (T1/2) were compared with the ankle-brachial pressure index, toe -brachial pressure index, and toe pressure. We evaluated these parameters for regions of interest (ROIs). RESULTS T1/2 was the strongest parameter among all parameters of the ICGA tests. ROI 3, which included the distal region of the first metatarsal bone, correlated more significantly with the traditional measurements than the other ROIs. A value of T1/2 >20 seconds for ROI 3 was significantly correlated with a toe pressure of <50 mmHg (sensitivity: 0.77, specificity: 0.80). CONCLUSIONS ICGA can be used to assess peripheral tissue perfusion. By measuring the value of T1/2 in ROI 3, ICGA tests can be used to evaluate the outcomes of revascularization procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) has been proposed as a major risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to assess inter-observer agreement between two ultrasound examiners and to compare findings in MS patients and control participants. METHODS A prospective, blinded, controlled study of MS patients diagnosed within 2 years (MS ≤ 2, n = 39), patients diagnosed more than 10 years ago (MS > 10, n = 43) and age- and sex-matched control participants (n = 40). Ultrasound examinations were performed by two independent examiners. CCSVI criteria 1, 3, 4 and 5 as proposed by Zamboni were explored: (1) reflux in the internal jugular (IJV) and vertebral veins (VV), (3) IJV cross-sectional area (CSA) ≤0.3 cm(2), (4) absence of flow in IJV and VV, and (5) reverted postural control of venous outflow. RESULTS Criteria 1, 4 and 5 were met in less than 10% of the MS patients and control participants as studied by both examiners. The level of inter-observer agreement was poor for all parameters except assessment of the CSA of IJV at the thyroid level. Findings meeting CCSVI criterion 3 (CSA ≤ 0.3 cm(2)) were observed in 18/40 (45%) of the control participants, in 24/37 (65%) of MS ≤ 2 patients (p = 0.09 vs. control participants) and in 30/43 (70%) of the MS > 10 patients (p = 0.022 vs. control participants). CONCLUSIONS The feasibility of the CCSVI criteria for common use is questionable because of low inter-observer agreement. Small-calibre IJVs meeting the CCSVI criterion 3 appear common in both Finnish control participants and MS patients, but the clinical significance of this finding is questionable.

Abstract
AIM The annual incidence of colonic diverticular bleeding is increasing, but treatments are not yet well established. Here we aimed to identify the risk factors for early re-bleeding and to determine the associated duration of hospitalization. METHOD Records of 90 emergent patients with colonic diverticular bleeding between 1999 and May 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into an early re-bleeding within 1 month group (n = 24) and a no re-bleeding group (n = 66) and we investigated the risk factors for early re-bleeding. In the former group, we calculated the time from the first haemostasis to early re-bleeding and the associated duration of hospitalization. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that there were significantly more patients with signs of shock (P = 0.00055) and active bleeding on the first colonoscopy after admission (P = 0.020) in the early re-bleeding group. Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis using stepwise variable selection showed that signs of shock on admission (odds ratio, 5.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.84-14.90; P = 0.0019) remained statistically significant. All patients who re-bled without signs of shock (n = 7) and 16 of 17 with signs of shock re-bled within 126 h (5.25 days) of initial hospitalization. CONCLUSION Shock was an independent risk factor for early re-bleeding. The associated duration of hospitalization was 6 days.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to provide a consensus statement by the International Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder Study Group (IRBD-SG) on devising controlled active treatment studies in rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and devising studies of neuroprotection against Parkinson disease (PD) and related neurodegeneration in RBD. METHODS The consensus statement was generated during the fourth IRBD-SG symposium in Marburg, Germany in 2011. The IRBD-SG identified essential methodologic components for a randomized trial in RBD, including potential screening and diagnostic criteria, inclusion and exclusion criteria, primary and secondary outcomes for symptomatic therapy trials (particularly for melatonin and clonazepam), and potential primary and secondary outcomes for eventual trials with disease-modifying and neuroprotective agents. The latter trials are considered urgent, given the high conversion rate from idiopathic RBD (iRBD) to Parkinsonian disorders (i.e., PD, dementia with Lewy bodies [DLB], multiple system atrophy [MSA]). RESULTS Six inclusion criteria were identified for symptomatic therapy and neuroprotective trials: (1) diagnosis of RBD needs to satisfy the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, second edition, (ICSD-2) criteria; (2) minimum frequency of RBD episodes should preferably be ⩾2 times weekly to allow for assessment of change; (3) if the PD-RBD target population is included, it should be in the early stages of PD defined as Hoehn and Yahr stages 1-3 in Off (untreated); (4) iRBD patients with soft neurologic dysfunction and with operational criteria established by the consensus of study investigators; (5) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); and (6) optimally treated comorbid OSA. Twenty-four exclusion criteria were identified. The primary outcome measure for RBD treatment trials was determined to be the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) efficacy index, consisting of a four-point scale with a four-point side-effect scale. Assessment of video-polysomnographic (vPSG) changes holds promise but is costly and needs further elaboration. Secondary outcome measures include sleep diaries; sleepiness scales; PD sleep scale 2 (PDSS-2); serial motor examinations; cognitive indices; mood and anxiety indices; assessment of frequency of falls, gait impairment, and apathy; fatigue severity scale; and actigraphy and customized bed alarm systems. Consensus also was established for evaluating the clinical and vPSG aspects of RBD. End points for neuroprotective trials in RBD, taking lessons from research in PD, should be focused on the ultimate goal of determining the performance of disease-modifying agents. To date no compound with convincing evidence of disease-modifying or neuroprotective efficacy has been identified in PD. Nevertheless, iRBD patients are considered ideal candidates for neuroprotective studies. CONCLUSIONS The IRBD-SG provides an important platform for developing multinational collaborative studies on RBD such as on environmental risk factors for iRBD, as recently reported in a peer-reviewed journal article, and on controlled active treatment studies for symptomatic and neuroprotective therapy that emerged during the 2011 consensus conference in Marburg, Germany, as described in our report.

Abstract
The jet fragmentation function is measured with direct photon-hadron correlations in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The p(T) of the photon is an excellent approximation to the initial p(T) of the jet and the ratio z(T)=p(T)(h)/p(T)(γ) is used as a proxy for the jet fragmentation function. A statistical subtraction is used to extract the direct photon-hadron yields in Au+Au collisions while a photon isolation cut is applied in p+p. I(AA), the ratio of hadron yield opposite the photon in Au+Au to that in p+p, indicates modification of the jet fragmentation function. Suppression, most likely due to energy loss in the medium, is seen at high z(T). The associated hadron yield at low z(T) is enhanced at large angles. Such a trend is expected from redistribution of the lost energy into increased production of low-momentum particles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is known to be abnormally expressed in many human carcinomas, suggesting that there may be an increase in serum EGFR levels in patients with malignant melanoma (MM) and that this might be a possible new tumour marker. AIM To assess whether serum EGFR levels might be a marker of MM. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 66 patients with MM and 12 healthy controls, and EGFR levels were measured by double-determinant ELISA. RESULTS Patients with in situ or stage I MM had significantly higher serum EGFR levels compared with healthy controls. Interestingly, serum EGFR levels decreased gradually with the stage of the tumour, being highest at stage I and lowest at stage IV. There was also a trend towards a reverse correlation between tumour thickness and serum EGFR levels. Moreover, a longitudinal study identified a trend for serum EGFR levels in patients with preoperative MM to decrease compared with patients with recurrent MM. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first report investigating the serum EGFR levels of patients with MM, and gives new insight into the relationship between EGFR and MM. We found that serum EGFR levels were significantly increased in patients with early-stage MM such as in situ and stage I tumours. Measurements of serum EGFR levels might be of clinical value in the detection of early-stage MM.

Abstract
Experienced peer support groups (EPSG) are expected to improve self-care and complement professional health care for haemophilic patients, even those living in inconvenient clinical setting. However, these benefits have not been verified quantitatively. The structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to evaluate the effects of contact with EPSG on self-care for haemophilic patients in the Japanese clinical settings. Factors affecting self-care were compared between groups with and without EPSG contact. Self-reported questionnaires were mailed to 652 haemophilic patients with HIV in Japan (September 2005-January 2006). SEM demonstrated significant associations between EPSG contact, self-care scores and other social and individual factors. The total effect of EPSG contact on self-care was calculated. The structural differences between models were analysed in a multi-group analysis. Of the 257 respondents (response rate, 39.4%), 109 reported having contact with an EPSG (EPSG+ group) and 139 reported no contact (EPSG- group). EPSG contact was significantly associated with better self-care. In the multi-group analysis, the total effect of inconvenient access to medical services on self-care in the EPSG+ group was 10% of that in the EPSG- group and was significantly associated with poor illness-related knowledge and high anxiety level only in the EPSG- group. In the EPSG+ group, patient age was strongly associated with self-care than in the EPSG- group. These findings suggest that EPSG contact may alleviate inconvenience in medical services. Factors associated with self-care differed between groups. Health care professionals must carefully assess self-care behaviours and service accessibility based on these results.

Abstract
Cutaneous fibrosis seen in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is caused by fibroblast activation and abnormal collagen accumulation due to 'autocrine transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Smad signaling'. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) may have therapeutic value against SSc, because of its inducible effect on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1. Previous studies indicated SSc dermal fibroblasts overexpress HGF receptor c-met, which suggest specific and effective induction of MMP-1 in SSc fibroblasts caused by HGF treatment. However, the exact mechanism of c-met overexpression in SSc cells was hardly investigated. We hypothesized that such c-met overexpression is also caused by autocrine TGF-β/Smad signaling. Expression of c-met protein in cultured SSc dermal fibroblasts was significantly up-regulated compared with that in normal fibroblasts. Ectopic TGF-β stimulation induced c-met synthesis in normal fibroblasts, while a TGF-β knockdown normalized the up-regulated c-met levels in SSc fibroblasts. Furthermore, we found the c-met promoter contains a putative binding site for Smads, and the binding activity of Smad2/3 to the c-met promoter was constitutively up-regulated in SSc fibroblasts as well as in normal fibroblasts treated with exogenous TGF-β1. Taken together, c-met may be overexpressed due to autocrine TGF-β/Smad signaling in SSc. Considering that HGF has an antifibrotic effect, such c-met overexpression in SSc fibroblasts may be a negative feedback against cutaneous fibrosis. Clarifying the mechanisms of c-met overexpression and controlling the HGF/c-met pathway may lead to a new therapeutic approach for this disease.

Abstract
In Experiment 1, development of bovine embryos derived from in vitro-matured (IVM) and in vitro-fertilized (IVF) oocytes was examined under 4 culture conditions: 1) co-culture with mouse ampullae continuously for 8 d, 2) co-culture with mouse ampullae that were replaced with fresh ampullae at 48-h intervals, 3) co-culture with bovine granulosa cell monolayers, and 4) culture in medium alone. Culture medium consisted of tissue culture medium 199 (TCM-199) supplemented with 1% fetal calf serum (FCS). Inseminated oocytes were transferred to each of the culture treatment 24 h after insemination and were cultured for 8 d. The number of blastocysts per number of cleaved ova obtained after co-culture with mouse ampullae (42.9%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that obtained after co-culture with granulosa cell monolayers (28.3%) or culture without cells (4.2%). In Experiment 2, the developmental ability of bovine IVM/IVF embryos co-cultured with mouse ampullae supplemented with or without serum was examined. When serum was excluded from the culture medium, 26.4% (33 125 ) of the total number of embryos cultured were able to develop to the blastocysts stage using this co-culture system. This value was comparable to that obtained in a serum-supplemented co-culture system (30.7%; 39 125 ). In addition, the developmental ability of embryos that reached to the 4-cell stage or beyond at 46 to 48 h after insemination was not significantly different when the embryos were co-cultured with mouse ampullae with (38.5 vs 44.6%) or without (37.0 vs 33.8%) serum.

Abstract
The antibody productivity of the human-human hybridoma cell line AE6, which produces the lung cancer specific human monoclonal antibody AE6F4, was enhanced fourfold upon stimulation with 1 mug/ml of vitamin A acetate for one day. The enhancement lasted for about two weeks, and could be repeated by another stimulation with vitamin A acetate. The enhancing effect of vitamin A acetate was influenced by the cell density. Enhancement was clearly observed when the cell density was under 10(6) cells/ml. However, when the cell density was over 10(7) cells/ml, enhancement was observed weakly or not at all. Although the enhancing effect of vitamin A acetate is not unique to AE6 cells, not all human-human hybridoma cell lines show increased productivity upon VA acetate stimulation. This study suggests that the response to vitamin A acetate may be related to the properties of a particular fusion partner which the hybridoma cell inherits. The efficacy of vitamin A acetate for production of human monoclonal antibodies using human-human hybridomas is discussed.

Abstract
We discovered a circulating mucin-like antigen designated as CAM-14 detected by a new murine monoclonal antibody KL-14 (IgM). We found different heat resistant properties between serum CAM- 14 from normal individuals and from lung cancer patients. Heat treatment had less effect on the levels of CAM-14 in sera from lung cancer patients, whereas CAM-14 levels in sera from normal individuals were markedly decreased after heat treatment at tempratures > 65-degrees-C. As a serum tumor marker, CAM- 14 had only very low levels of false-positive values with a high specificity and effectively increased the positive rate for lung cancer patients when used together with carcinoembryonic antigen.

Abstract
We measured interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations from 48 malignant pleural effusions by an enzyme immunoassay and found a marked heterogeneity of the concentrations. The histological type of the malignant cells and total counts or differentials of the cells in effusions could not account for the heterogeneity. We newly established five malignant cell lines and found that the amounts of IL-6 produced by them were well correlated with IL-6 concentrations of the effusions from which these lines were derived (r=0.96; p<0.01). These results suggest that a marked heterogeneity of IL-6 concentrations in malignant effusions reflects the differential production of IL-6 by malignant cells in pleural space.

Abstract
Brain-machine interfaces (BMI) are expected as new man-machine interfaces. Non-invasive BMI have the potential to improve the quality of life of many disabled individuals with safer operation. The non-invasive BMI using the functional functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) with the electroencephalogram (EEG) has potential applicability beyond the restoration of lost movement and rehabilitation in paraplegics and would enable normal individuals to have direct brain control of external devices in their daily lives. To shift stage of the non-invasive BMI from laboratory to clinical, the key factor is to develop high-accuracy signal decoding technology and highly restrictive of the measurement area. In this article, we present the development of a high-accuracy brain activity measurement system by combining fNIRS and EEG. The new fNIRS had high performances with high spatial resolution using double density technique and a large number of measurement channels to cover a whole human brain.

Abstract
Oncolytic viruses hold much promise as novel therapeutic agents that can be combined with conventional therapeutic modalities. Measles virus (MV) is known to enter cells using the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), which is expressed on cells of the immune system. Although human breast cancer cell lines do not express SLAM, we found that a wild-type MV (HL strain) efficiently infected various breast cancer cell lines, causing cell death. Based on this finding, we used reverse genetics to generate a recombinant MV selectively unable to use SLAM (rMV-SLAMblind). The rMV-SLAMblind lacked infectivity for SLAM-positive lymphoid cells, while retaining oncolytic activity against breast cancer cells. We showed that, unlike the MV vaccine strains, rMV-SLAMblind used PVRL4 (polio virus receptor-related 4) as a receptor to infect breast cancer cells and not the ubiquitously expressed CD46. Consistent with this, rMV-SLAMblind infected CD46-positive primary normal human cells at a much-reduced level, whereas a vaccine strain of the Edmonston lineage (rMV-Edmonston) efficiently infected and killed them. The rMV-SLAMblind showed antitumor activity against human breast cancer xenografts in immunodeficient mice. The oncolytic activity of rMV-SLAMblind was significantly greater than that of rMV-Edmonston. To assess the in vivo safety, three monkeys seronegative for MV were inoculated with rMV-SLAMblind, and no clinical symptoms were documented. On the basis of these results, rMV-SLAMblind could be a promising candidate as a novel oncolytic virus for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the MRI characteristics of venous thrombus over set time thresholds with histopathological correlation in a porcine model. METHODS Inferior vena cava thrombi were induced in 12 pigs. MRI was performed in three pigs 2 h, 1 day, 3 days and 2 weeks after thrombus induction. RESULTS The MRI characteristics were analysed in correlation with histopathological findings. The thrombi after 2 hours, which consisted of red blood cells (RBCs), showed isointensity on T(1 )weighted images (T(1)WIs) and hyperintensity on both T(2 )weighted images (T(2)WIs) and diffusion-weighted images (DWIs). The mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value was 1.93 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1). The thrombi after Day 1, which consisted of RBCs and migrating neutrophils at the periphery, showed isointensity on T(1)WIs, slight hyperintensity on T(2)WIs and hypointensity on DWIs. The mean ADC value was 1.62 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1) [corrected]. The thrombi after Day 3, which consisted of RBCs and peripheral inflammatory cells including macrophages, showed isointensity with peripheral hyperintense regions on T(1)WIs and hypointensity on both T(2)WIs and DWIs. The mean ADC value was 1.67 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1). After 2 weeks, the thrombi, which revealed RBC lysis surrounded by granulation tissues, showed isointensity on T(1)WIs and hyperintensity on T(2)WIs and DWIs. The mean ADC value was 2.48 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1). CONCLUSION The temporal MRI characteristics seemed to be related to chemical and physical changes in RBC and organisation of granulation tissues. Free radicals generated by macrophages might also be related to some extent.

Abstract
Orbital hypertelorism is defined as an abnormally wide bony interorbital distance. The aims of surgery are both correction of ocular dystopia and cosmetic reconstruction of the nasal crest. Marked improvement of visual function, especially binocular vision, by surgery is not expected. Here we report that surgical treatment unexpectedly resulted in a significant visual improvement for a 13-year-old boy with orbital hypertelorism who also had bilateral cleft lip and palate.
