These days, customer not only selects a yukata from marketed yukata, but she also orders a custom-made yukata. When customer orders a yukata, it is necessary to show her favorite yukata to a designer. But if she has ambiguous image for her favorite yukata, it is hard to show her favorite design. We propose a yukata design system using an Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA). The proposed system is for designing a yukata to suit user's taste. From the assessment ... to be effective in the designing of a yukata. In addition, we proposed additional functions that allow ...

The problem of detecting influential observations in principalcomponent analysis was discussed by several authors. Radhakrishnan and kshirsagar ( 1981 ), Critchley ( 1985 ), jolliffe ( 1986 )among others discussed this topicby using the influence functions I(X;θs)and I(X;Vs)of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which wwere derived under the assumption that the eigenvalues of interest were simple. In this paper we propose the influence functionsI(X;∑q s=1θsVsVs T)and I(x;∑q s=1VsVs t)(q<p;p:number of variables) to ...

This report presents a case demonstrating the early breakage of a titanium volar locking plate implanted for internal fixation of a dorsally displaced distal radius fracture in which the dorsal cortex was severely comminuted. Careful selection of the proper plate and appropriate surgical technique and postoperative management are necessary to avoid this complication.

Several methods have been used to increase bone mass in distraction osteogenesis. Since bone resorption as well as regeneration is stimulated in the distracted segment, bisphosphonate can be a beneficial agent for distraction osteogenesis. Here, we examined the effects of bisphosphonate injected continuously into the regenerate on bone volume, and architectural and mechanical properties of distraction osteogenesis. The left tibia of Japanese White rabbits (n=66) was subjected to slow distraction ...

Background: Restoration of sensory function is imperative when prehensile function is restored after irreparable brachial plexus injury. However, there are few reports that focus on the results of sensory recovery after brachial plexus reconstruction. The purpose of this article is to report the results of sensory recovery of the hand with intercostal nerve transfer following complete brachial plexus injury. Methods: Seventeen patients with complete brachial plexus injury underwent sensory reconstruction ...

Chondromodulin-I (Chm-I) is a glycoprotein that stimulates the growth of chondrocytes and inhibits angiogenesis in vitro. Mice lacking the Chm1 gene show abnormal bone metabolism and pathological angiogenesis in cardiac valves in the mature stage although they develop normally without aberrations in endochondral bone formation during embryogenesis or in cartilage development during growth. These findings indicate that Chm-I is critical under conditions of stress such as bone repair through endochondral ...

We present a case of delayed rupture of extensor digitorum communis tendon seven years after volar plating of distal radius fracture. Drill bit penetration during surgery and prominent screw tips into the fourth extensor compartment have a potential risk to damage the tendons. Careful and accurate use of internal fixation instruments is necessary to avoid this complication.

Experimental tibial lengthening was achieved in 61 rabbits to examine the effect of continuous local infusion of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) on bone healing of the lengthened segment. The tibial diaphysis was separated by osteotomy and was subjected to slow progressive distraction (rate: 0.35 mm/12 h) using a monolateral external fixator. There were a lag phase for 1 week, a distraction phase for 2 weeks, and a consolidation phase for 5 weeks in this experiment. At various ...

In Brief Study Design. A study using rat spondylolisthesis models. Objective. To clarify pathomechanism of vertebral rounding deformity in pediatric spondylolisthesis. Summary of Background Data. For high-grade slippage, rounding of sacrum surface associated with L5 spondylolisthesis is reported to be the most responsible risk factor. However, the exact pathomechanism of the rounding deformity is yet to be clarified. Methods. Spondylolisthesis rat model (4-week-old) was used. Radiographs were taken ...

This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism of biological repair at the tendon-bone junction in a rat model. The stump of the toe flexor tendon was sutured to a drilled hole in the tibia (tendon suture group, n = 23) to investigate healing of the tendon-bone junction both radiologically and histologically. Radiological and histological findings were compared with those observed in a sham control group where the bone alone was drilled (n = 19). The biomechanical strength of the repaired junction ...

The clinical literature strongly suggests that bone healing in cigarette smokers is impaired. Since cigarette smoke (CS) contains numerous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and since dioxins impair bone formation in vivo via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR), we investigated the impact of PAH/AHR signaling on chondrogenesis and on healing in a mouse tibial fracture model. We established that CS activates AHR signaling in fractures by up-regulating the AHR target gene cytochrome p4501A1 (Cyp1A1). ...
