[Subsegmental transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein with SMANCS].

Recently, subsegmental transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein has been performed to treat hepatic infarction in subregion hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we report subsegmental transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein with styrene maleic acid neocarzinostatin lipiodol (SMANCS) (SMANCS-TAE under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein). This study included 9 patients with HCC who underwent SMANCS-TAE under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein.

Treatment and posttreatment effects of fluoride mouthrinsing after 17 years.

Objectives: This study assessed the treatment and posttreatment effects of a school-based, fluoride mouthrinse regimen.

Methods: Children in a nonfluoridated community in Japan participated in a daily rinse program using a 0.05 percent NaF solution in nursery and primary schools, and a weekly rinse with 0.

The status of fluoride mouthrinse programmes in Japan: a national survey.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the current status of fluoride mouthrinse programmes throughout Japan. Data collection and analysis took place in 1992. The focus of this study was on schools that were participating in the rinse programme at the time of the survey.
