    Disinfection of wound with povidone-iodine was thought to be very effective to wound healing.Nowadays wound infection is thought in the idea of bacterial balance, which means that bacteria are increasing in three phases‘: contamination’,‘colonization’and‘infection’. In the phases of‘contamination’and‘colonization’, the bacteria do not harm to the wound and disinfectants are not necessary but wound irrigation is recommended. In the phase of‘infection’, redness, swelling,local fever and tenderness are observed and disinfectants are needed.Dry condition was thought to be effective for wound healing to control the bacterial infection.However, it has been revealed that wound healing process is very complicated and needs many cells, growth factors and cytokines. Moist environment is useful for the movement of cells and factors to heal the wound

    Recurring facial low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma in an elderly patient : A case report

    Get PDF
    Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare type of sarcoma that is characterized by benign-appearing histologic features but a paradoxically aggressive clinical course. These tumors generally occur in young to middle-aged adults, sometimes in children, but rarely in high-aged adults. LGFMS typically affects the deep soft tissues of the trunk or lower extremities ; however, it is rarely seen in the face. We here describe a case of LGFMS on the right forehead of an 84-year-old woman. After resection with a 1-cm skin margin, recurrence occurred at 15 months postoperatively. Additional wide excision was subsequently performed with a 2-cm skin margin. Recurrence and metastasis have not been observed for 1 year after the second excision. A wide surgical margin should be considered in cases of LGFMS

    A Study on Evoked Potential by Inaudible Auditory Stimulation toward Continuous Biometric Authentication

    Biometrics have been used in person authentication. However, conventional biometrics have a vulnerability to the identity theft, especially in user management systems. In order to prevent the identity theft, the effective way is to authenticate continuously. However, the continuous authentication requires unconscious biometrics. The authors have been studied to use brain waves as the unconscious biometrics. In conventional studies, the authors had used spontaneous brain waves; however, their verification performance was not so high. Thus, the authors propose to use evoked potentials by supersonic sounds, which cannot be perceived by human beings. In this paper, the authors examine the characteristics of evoked potentials by supersonic sounds and confirm that the spectrum in the band is increased at the electrodes on the back of the head. This phenomenon could be used as an individual feature in person verification

    Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma of the elbow : a case report

    Get PDF
    Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare soft tissue tumor that typically occurs in the distal extremities of children and adolescents. Because a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is an ill-defined mass and has a tendency to infiltrate the surrounding tissue, local recurrence rates are 50%. We report a case of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma occurring in the elbow region, an uncommon site. The patient is followed up for 6 years without local recurrence of the tumor

    The effects of desferrioxamine on thrombus formation in injured microvessels of the rabbit ear

    We investigated the effects of the iron chelator desferrioxamine (DFX) on thrombus formation in the arterioles and venules of the rabbit ear chamber. Thrombi were induced by irradiation with filtered light in combination with a fluorescent dye. The occlusive thrombus formation time was significantly extended by DFX. The mor-phological composition of thrombi in the arterioles and venules was different. In the arterioles, the thrombi consisted of platelet aggregation, but in the venules, platelets and leukocytes accumulated on the endothelium. This suggests that hydroxyl radicals may be important mediators in this model, as DFX is known as a hydroxyl radical scav-enger. Furthermore, the components of thrombi in the arterioles and venules in the skin microvascular system may be different

    [EN] New unsymmetrical selenides bearing an o-carborane and a naphthalene ring as the substituents were prepared by the cleavage of the corresponding diselenides. The compounds were characterized by means of spectroscopic and analytical methods. Se-77 NMR signals of the selenium atoms attached to the carbon atoms of the carborane cages are shifted downfield in comparison to those bonded only to the aromatic rings, indicating an electron withdrawing effect of the o-carboranyl substituent. Compounds 1-(2-R-1,2-dicarba-closo-carboranyl)naphthyl selenides (R = Me, 1; Ph, 2) were characterized by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The influence of the electronic nature of the substituents attached to the selenium atoms on the structural parameters and packing properties of naphthyl selenides are discussed. Theoretical calculations and cyclic voltammetry (CV) studies were carried out to compare the bonding nature of carboranyl and analogous aryl selenium compounds. Cyclic voltammetry studies of naphthyl carboranyl mono and diselenides have shown that the carboranyl fragment polarizes the Se lone pair making it less prone to generate a Se-Se bond.This work was supported by the Japan-Spain Research Cooperative Program, Joint Project, 2004JP0102 from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and CSIC, CICYT (CTQ2010-16237) and the Generalitat de Catalunya, 2009/SGR/00279.
