Article Synopsis
- * L-DOPA alone improves motor activity at dosages of 3-7 mg/kg; however, it does not enhance the usage of both forelimbs.
- * Detailed analysis of brain activity showed that the combination of ifenprodil and L-DOPA significantly reduced c-Fos expression in the subthalamic nucleus, indicating this area is crucial for the anti-parkinsonian effects of NR2B antagonists. *
Background: This study attempted to assess continued long-term home care by examining patients' independent activities of daily living (ADLs) and caregivers' free time.
Methods: We surveyed the main caregivers of 52 patients with cerebrovascular disease with continuous home care from 1999 to 2010. Survey items were patients' ADLs, the frequency of use of care services, care requirements, and caregiver sense of burden.
We investigated the use of a commercial spectrocolorimeter and the application of two color models (L* a* b* colorimetric system and spectral reflectance distribution) to describe and quantify cartilage plugs in a rabbit model of osteochondral autografting. Osteochondral plugs were removed and then replaced in their original positions in Japanese white rabbits. The rabbits were sacrificed at 4 or 12 weeks after the operation and cartilage samples were assessed using a spectrocolorimeter.

Methods: A total of 37 knees in 32 patients were reviewed as a whole group and also after division into the following 3 groups according to the age at surgery: group A, 11 knees in patients aged less than 20 years; group B, 13 knees in patients aged 20 to 39 years; and group C, 13 knees in patients aged greater than 39 years. The mean age at surgery was 31.
