The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced about the expansion of duties by the radiological technologists in team medical care in April, 2010, and the importance of image interpretation assistance by the radiological technologists became higher. In that respect, for improvement in ability of image interpretation assistance by the radiological technologists in emergency medicine, we developed a support package for learning of image interpretation assistance (support package) and evaluated the usefulness for learning of image interpretation assistance by questionnaires. The support package included digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data of case, explainer video of urgent imaging findings, and DICOM viewer.

The rate of acetate utilization by all strains was dependent on the initial acetate concentration and followed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The ability to utilize acetate differed among the various strains of M.

Four alcoholic metabolites of (+-)-3-chloro-5-[3-(2-oxo-1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydroimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-spiro-4'-peperidino)propyl]-10,11-dihydro-5'-dibenz[b,f ] azepine(mosapramine), a new antipsychotic drug, were synthesized in order to determine their chemical structures. A mixture of 10-ethoxy-3-chloro-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine and 11-ethoxy isomer was used as a starting material. Isomeric intermediates, i.

An approximately planar shape of these molecules was essential for high affinity to the benzodiazepine receptor. Among them, 11-aryl compounds in the latter series were found to have high affinity to the benzodiazepine receptor.

The main metabolite was isolated by high performance liquid chromatography and subsequent preparative thin layer chromatography. The structure of this metabolite was established as 4-[alpha-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5- dimethylbenzoic acid on the basis of spectral analyses and confirmed by its total synthesis.
