Huntington disease (HD) is a hereditary brain disease, causing progressive deterioration after a preclinical phase. The pathophysiology of early brain abnormalities around disease onset is largely unknown. Some preclinical mutation carriers (PMC) show structural or metabolic changes on brain imaging but the most sensitive imaging modality has not been determined. (1)H magnetic resonance spectro...

Separation of the posteromedial meniscocapsular junction (PMC) is a unique injury seen in patients with disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament. PMC tears may go unrecognized despite preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and diagnostic arthroscopy of the medial compartment. Unrepaired lesions may lead to persistent laxity of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Insid...

BACKGROUND Controlling nuclear maturation during oocyte culture might improve nuclear-cytoplasmic maturation synchrony. In the present study, the quality of mouse and human cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEOs) was examined after a two-step culture consisting of a three-dimensional prematuration culture (3D-PMC), followed by in vitro maturation (IVM). METHODS Mouse and human CEOs were embedded in a...

Pramanicin (PMC) is an antifungal agent that was previously demonstrated to exhibit antiangiogenic and anticancer properties in a few in vitro studies. We initially screened a number of PMC analogs for their cytotoxic effects on HCT116 human colon cancer cells. PMC-A, the analog with the most potent antiproliferative effect was chosen to further interrogate the underlying mechanism of action. P...

Plastic mulch is extensively applied in agricultural production arid regions. It significantly influences the interactions between land and atmosphere by altering underlying surface characteristics. An accurate timely extraction method for Plastic-Mulched Cropland (PMC) required to understand energy transfer processes, eco-hydrological cycle, climate effect of PMC, management water resources. I...

We used event-related fMRI to test the hypothesis that the caudate nucleus is preferentially recruited by a spatial working memory task employing egocentrically defined stimuli, which are amenable to transformation into a motor code, as contrasted with allocentrically defined stimuli, which are not. Our results revealed greater delay-epoch activity in egocentric than in allocentric trials in th...

original articles documenting interventional neuroradi-ology biannually. It was launched in 2006. Beginning in 2011, it began to be published only in English. Therefore, beginning in 2011, it began building the foundation for becoming an invaluable international journal in the field of neurointervention. According to the NLM Catalog of journals referenced in the NCBI Databases, the following tw...

Evidence on the short-term effects of size-specific particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ?2.5 ?m (PM2.5), ?10 (PM10), and their difference (PMC) children’s Lower Respiratory Infections (LRI) is scare. This study aimed to estimate differential three PM hospitalizations children aged <18 years for pneumonia bronchitis in 18 cities southwestern China. The city-specific association was firs...

Journal of Reproduction and Infertility (JRI) was indexed in Pubmed and Pubmed Central (PMC). This is good news for all authors, reviewers, physicians and researchers that are related to JRI. Launched in February 2000, PMC is a free archive of biomedical and life sciences containing peer reviewed journals. It provides free access to full papers of all contents for scientists, physicians, resear...

In this paper, the uniform scattered fields from a perfectly magnetic conducting (PMC) surface are studied with the extended theory of boundary diffraction wave (TBDW). The vector potential is described by considering the extended TBDW for the PMC surfaces. The extended TBDW is then applied to the problem of scattering from the PMC half plane. The total scattered fields are obtained and compare...
