Collagen VI deficiency induces early onset myopathy in the mouse: an animal model for Bethlem myopathy.
To gain insight into the function of type VI collagen, the col6a1 gene was inactivated by targeted gene disruption in the mouse. The homozygous mutants lacked collagen VI in the tissues and showed histological features of myopathy such as fiber necrosis and phagocytosis and a pronounced variation in the fiber diameter. Muscles also showed signs of stimulated regeneration of fibers. Necrotic fib...

TO THE EDITOR: Gratiy et al. (2013) proposed two alternative explanations for the nonbalanced current source density (CSD) estimates in Riera et al. (2012). Their commentary was based on a particular interpretation of the role played by the Ampere-Maxwell Law in the genesis of the electric fields for macroscopic media. In this Reply, we will provide further information to stimulate the debate i...

We would like to take the opportunity to express our appreciation towards Neviere et al. [1] for their eloquent and detailed comments on our recent manuscript [2]. In our study, 1-year follow-up results from cardiopulmonary exercise tests were compared in patients and controls with preoperative results. We were able to demonstrate a significant rise in the maximum cardiac index in patients duri...

influenza Avirus subtype H7N1 antigen to find out its relatedness by means of the HI assay. The H7 antigen reacted with WHO reference antibodies to high titers (HI titer, 320), indicating antigenic similarity with influenza A(H7N9) isolated from China. This revealed the appropriateness of using the H7 virus antigen in the study. All serum samples from the high-risk group and the general populat...
