The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of zinc (Zn)-containing beta-tricalcium phosphate (Zn-TCP) in correcting the bone mineral deficiency noted in osteoporosis using ovariectomized rat model. Four rats were used for each of the four experimental groups: D0, D10, D20, and N10. The rats in D0, D10, and D20 groups were ovariectomized, and fed a vitamin D-, Ca-, and Zn-deficient diet, and induced Zn-deficient osteoporoses for 9 weeks.

Anesthetic management during 85 STA-MCA anastomoses with or without encephalo-myosynangiosis for 64 patients with Moyamoya disease was evaluated retrospectively. Anesthetic agents included nitrous oxide-NLA (GONLA), nitrous oxide-halothane (GOF), nitrous oxide-enflurane (GOE), and their combinations. Slight hypercarbia (40 mmHg less than PaCO2 less than 50 mmHg) was essential to avoid cerebral ischemia.
