To determine the etiology of combined high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the uterine cervix, we examined human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes, methylation status of the HPV-16 L1 gene, and immunohistochemical staining pattern of Krt7 in 8 cases of combined HSIL and AIS. Overall, 6 (75%) of 8 patients with combined HSIL and AIS were infected by t...

We report 10 cases with arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) with nephrotic syndrome (NS), and clarified its incidence and clinical characteristics. The patients having albumin less than 3.0 g/dl and serum cholesterol greater than 250 mg/dl at the same time were retrospectively screened from 11,161 cases of stroke. Furthermore, the patients of AIS showing heavy proteinuria were selected. The 10 cases...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recovery from stroke requires neuroplasticity within surviving adjacent cortex. The axon initial segment (AIS) is the site of action potential initiation and a focal point for tuning of neuronal excitability. Remodeling of the AIS may be important to neuroplasticity after stroke. METHODS Focal cortical stroke in forelimb motor cortex was induced by photothrombosis and c...

Background It has been suggested that XbaI single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A/G rs934099) in estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) may be associated with curve severity in Japanese AIS patients [1] and with both curve severity and predisposition for AIS in Chinese patients [2]. However, replication studies have not confirmed these findings [3]. The role of the XbaI ESR1 polymorphism rs9340799 in AIS ...

Introduction Many chromosomic locations have been linked with the AIS, however, no causative genes have been clearly identified. We recently identified two regions (3q12.1 and 5q13.3) containing possibly causative gene(S) of AIS (Edery et al. 2011). Our recent work identified diseasecausing variants in a gene (that we called PFK2) in French AIS families (Patten et al. submitted 2014). We sought...

In view of current IT integration development of SOA, this paper examines AIS design based on SOA, including information sources collection, accounting business process integration and real-time financial reports. The main objective of this exploratory paper is to facilitate AIS research combing the Web Service, which is often ignored in accounting and computer research. It provides a conceptua...

Objective: To identify significant etiological differences between patients with bilateral and unilateral Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). Background: Limited data suggest bilateral AIS is relatively common, accounting for approximately ten percent of AIS. However, stroke etiology as defined by TOAST criteria has not been well defined for patients with evidence of bilateral AIS on MRI. Methods: Con...

This paper describes issues, technologies, challenges, and directions for Assured Information Sharing (AIS). AIS is about organizations sharing information but at the same time enforcing policies and procedures so that the data is integrated and mined to extract nuggets. This is the first in a series of papers we are writing on AIS. It provides an overview including architectures, functions and...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE For the clinician, the diagnosis of arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) in children is a challenge. Prompt diagnosis of pediatric AIS within 6 hours enables stroke-specific thrombolytic and neuroprotective strategies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of prospectively enrolled consecutive cohort of children with AIS, admitted to The Hospital for Sick Children, Toron...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is an essential neuronal compartment. It is usually where action potentials are initiated. Recent studies demonstrated that the AIS is a plastic structure that can be regulated by neuronal activity and by the activation of metabotropic receptors. Studying the AIS in live tissue can be difficult because its identification is not always reliable. Here we provide a n...
