skeletal maturity of the hand and wrist in japanese children by the tw2 method.	the skeletal maturity of japanese children aged 0--18 years in tokyo was compared with that of british children by the tw2 method. the skeletal age was the same as or less than the chronological age until 8 years. thereafter, it was in advance of chronological age until 18 years in boys and 15 years in girls. the hand and wrist bones completed maturation about the same time in both japanese and british children, at the age of 18 years in boys and 16 years in girls.	2003	201213
the ultrastructure of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (case report).	a soft tissue malignant fibrous histiocytoma was studied by light and electron microscopy. the presence of fibroblast-like cells, histiocyte-like cells, undifferentiated stem cells, and xanthomatous cells was confirmed. fibroblast- and histiocyte-like multinucleated giant cells were also observed. the observation of lysosomes in some fibroblast-like cells, the features of undifferentiated stem cells, and the presence of cells and intermediate characteristics common to xanthomatous, histiocytic, ...	2003	201064
undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver: report of 31 cases.	thirty-one cases of undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver are presented. the tumor is found predominantly in the pediatric age group, the majority of patients (51.6%) being between 6 and 10 years of age. an abdominal mass and pain are the usual presenting symptoms. radiographic examination is nonspecific except to demonstrate a space-occupying lesion of the liver. the tumors are large, single, usually globular and well demarcated, and have multiple cystic areas of hemorrhage, necrosi ...	2003	208754
effects of trazodone treatment on alpha-2 adrenoceptor function in depressed patients.	tricyclic antidepressant drugs reduce the sensitivity of alpha 2 adrenoceptors during long-term treatment. in the present study, the alpha 2 adrenergic agonist clonidine was administered to 11 depressed patients before and during treatment with the triazolopyridine antidepressant trazodone (trz). clonidine's ability to decrease blood pressure (bp) and plasma levels of the norepinephrine metabolite 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (mhpg), and to increase sedation and plasma growth hormone ...	2003	3016788

pathology of the lens in down's syndrome.	a pathological study of the lenses of 21 patients with down's syndrome disclosed no distinctive abnormalities of the lens capsule, as had been reported previously. five patients, 15 years of age or older, had focal cortical changes consistent with the characteristic flake-like opacities seen in patients with down's syndrome after the first decade of life. three patients with more extensive, visually significant lens opacities showed nonspecific cataractous changes. no abnormalities other than pa ...	2003	148880
thymoxamine test. differentiating angle-closure glaucoma form open-angle glaucoma with narrow angles.	to help differentiate mild angle-closure glaucoma from open-angle glaucoma in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (iop) and angles so narrow that the structures cannot be seen adequately, we used a thymoxamine hydrochloride eyedrop that induces miosis and tends to widen the angle. thymoxamine does not contract the ciliary muscle and does not alter the iop or facility of outflow in open-angle glaucoma, but it can relieve angle-closure glaucoma. a test with thymoxamine was performed in 26 ...	2003	148879
a case of giant cavernous hemangioma of the liver complicated by intravascular coagulopathy.	a case of liver hemangioma complicated by intravascular coagulopathy is presented because of the rarity of the association. hemangioma of the liver was suspected by palpation of the liver tumor, scintigraphy and x-ray examination, and confirmed by selective hepatic arteriography in combination with exploratory laparotomy. intravascular coagulopathy was established by demonstrating secondary fibrinolysis and consumption of platelets and coagulation factors. unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia due to ...	2003	148835
