We have raised an antiserum, designated alpha Enhb-1, to a portion of the mouse En-2 protein containing the homeodomain. The antiserum detects both the En-1 and En-2 proteins in mouse, chick and Xenopus embryos by Western blot analysis. Using whole-mount immunohistochemistry, combined in some cases with scanning electron microscopy, we have examined the distribution of the proteins in the early...

A large full-thickness chest wall defect over 10 cm in diameter requires skeletal reconstruction and soft tissue coverage. Use of various flaps for soft tissue coverage was previously reported, but en bloc resection in each case affects these flap pedicles and sizes. We present a case of a 74-year-old man with a soft tissue tumor involving the left lateral chest wall. We performed an en block r...

Usefulness of diffusion tensor imaging in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: potential biomarker and association with the cognitive profile Utilidad del tensor de difusión en esclerosis lateral amiotrofica: potencial biomarcador y asociación con el perfil cognitivo Marcelo Chaves1, Mariela Bettini1, Maria Cecilia Fernandez1, Maria Jose Garcia Basalo1, Juan Ignacio Rojas1, Cristina Besada2, Edgardo ...

Measurements of rhizosphere carbon efflux are critical to the determination of soil carbon balance by CO2 flux measurements. We attempted to measure rhizosphere respiration in a forest ecosystem by transplanting 13Cenriched soils from a tallgrass prairie into a mixed-conifer forest soil but found that atmospheric air mixing and lateral diffusion confounded δC-CO2 measurements. Surface CO2 efflu...

In Japan, lateral lymph node dissection (LLND) is generally performed for the treatment of T3-4 lower rectal carcinoma, and not for T1 lower rectal carcinoma, because of a low positive rate in patients with T1 lesion. We experienced a rare case of lateral pelvic lymph node recurrence after total mesorectal resection for T1 lower rectal carcinoma, successfully treated by LLND with en bloc resect...

Techniques in oculofacial surgery continue to develop as our understanding of anatomy and pathophysiology continue to evolve. While the centerpiece of the quest to rejuvenate the upper eyelid and brow has for years been the upper blepharoplasty, several modifications to traditional techniques have been developed that allow for enhanced outcomes utilizing less invasive approaches. Techniques dis...

INTRODUCTION Nasopharyngectomy has been established as a feasible curative treatment for salvaging recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma after radical radiotherapy. A large case series has also shown that the overall survival rate in nasopharyngectomy is comparable with reirradiation in small recurrent tumors. However, reirradiation has significant late complications from radiotherapy, and surgica...
