چکیده
It is my immense pleasure to be able to announce that HBES 2008 will be held at Kyoto University, Japan, the first one outside the Western hemisphere in its history. Kyoto, a beautiful ancient city, used to be an old capital of Japan for about 1000 years since the 8th century, and has a variety of interesting and important monuments of Japanese culture. These are now registered as one of the World Heritage sites. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy a pleasant early summer stay in Kyoto along with the HBES conference. HBESJapan has more than 100 members and all of us are eagerly waiting for your attendance in Kyoto. Certainly it is a bit far from the US and European countries, and inevitably a bit more costly than usual meetings. We shall try our best to set up fascinating scientific programmes and social gatherings to meet up the cost and more! Please contact us through e-mail if you have any questions related to the HBES 2008 in Kyoto.

Hypotensive bradycardic events during shoulder arthroscopic surgery under interscalene brachial plexus blocks
Sudden, profound hypotensive and bradycardic events (HBEs) have been reported in more than 20% of patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy in the sitting position. Although HBEs may be associated with the adverse effects of interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) in the sitting position, the underlying mechanisms responsible for HBEs during the course of shoulder surgery are not well underst...
متن کاملA combination of HNF-4 and Foxo1 is required for reciprocal transcriptional regulation of glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphatase genes in response to fasting and feeding.
Glucokinase (GK) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) regulate rate-limiting reactions in the physiologically opposed metabolic cascades, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, respectively. Expression of these genes is conversely regulated in the liver in response to fasting and feeding. We explored the mechanism of transcriptional regulation of these genes by nutritional condition and found that recip...
متن کاملCase Study on the Impact of Horizontal Boundary Elements Design on Seismic Behavior of Steel Plate Shear Walls
Acase studywas conducted to investigate the seismic behavior of steel plate shear walls having boundary elements designed by two different philosophies. The first design approach does not guarantee that formation of in-span plastic hinges on horizontal boundary elements (HBEs) will be prevented, whereas the second approach guarantees that plastic hinges can only occur at the ends of HBEs. Pusho...
متن کاملSeismic design of boundary frame members of steel plate shear walls
Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSWs), which consist of infill steel panels surrounded by columns, called Vertical Boundary Elements (VBEs), and beams, called Horizontal Boundary Elements (HBEs), are rapidly becoming an appealing alternative lateral force resisting system for building structures in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan and other countries. This paper presents results of so...
