The current study aimed to investigate whole-brain three-dimensional arterial spin labeling imaging (3D ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion-weighted imaging (DSC-PWI), in regards to their diagnostic value of preoperative glioma grade. The parameter values obtained after correction will be correlated with the diagnostic value of 3D ASL and DSC-PWI perfusion. In the current study, ...

We previously reported that decidual stromal cells (DSC) from early human decidua express antigens associated with hematopoietic cells and develop different immune functions. Here we study the antigenic phenotype of DSC from term decidua and compare it with the phenotype reported for DSC from early decidua. Decidual stromal cells were isolated from human term deciduas and maintained in culture ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a perfusion imaging technique that does not require gadolinium. The study aimed to assess the reliability of ASL for evaluating reperfusion in acute ischemic stroke in comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) imaging. METHODS The study included 24 patients with acute ischemic stroke on admission and 24-hour follow-up ASL and ...

3-Deoxysappanchalcone (3-DSC) has been reported to possess anti-allergic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of 3-DSC on the proliferation of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HDPCs) and mouse hair growth in vivo. A real-time cell analyzer system, luciferase assay, Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reactio...

This paper describes the integration of interactive statistical graphics within R using state-of-the art R-connectivity. The iPlots project uses SJava to deliver interactive plots for R and an associated framework for their customization. The graphical part of iPlots is implemented in Java. The design is discussed and some practical examples of iPlots are illustrated.

Kriging is one of the most often used prediction methods in spatial data analysis. This paper examines which steps of the underlying algorithms can be performed in parallel on a PVM cluster. It will be shown, that some properties of the so called kriging equations can be used to improve the parallelized version of the algorithm. The implementation is based on R and PVM. An example will show the...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic performance of arterial spin-labeling (ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion in detecting cerebral blood flow (CBF) changes before and after endovascular recanalization in acute ischemic syndrome. METHODS The inclusion criteria for this retrospective study were patients with acute ischemic syndrome who underwent endovascular ...
