We describe a 38-year-old man who presented with proximal muscle weakness, myalgia,
polyarthralgia, and skin rash and was diagnosed as having dermatomyositis (DM). The patient’…

Objective. To evaluate the clinical significance of serum levels of vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in patients with …

Objective To investigate whether fasciitis is histopathologically demonstrable in patients with
dermatomyositis (DM), and to analyze the process of inflammatory progression in myopathy …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical significance of telomerase activity and telomere length
in T and B lymphocytes from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: …

We evaluated the clinical significance of the telomerase activity and telomere length of
peripheral blood mononuclearcells (PBMC) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). PBMC were …

Objective We previously demonstrated that fasciitis is a common lesion of dermatomyositis (DM)
that is detectable early after disease onset by en bloc muscle biopsy combined with …

Soft-X-ray multilayer mirrors with amorphous structures, which are currently widely used,
have almost reached their inherent maximum performance, when used with short periods for …

The magnetic anisotropy and structures of Co/Ag and Co/Au metallic superlattices (SLs) grown
by molecular‐beam epitaxy were studied. In the Co/Ag SLs, the total magnetic anisotropy …

Field-ion microscope observations were made on Ni-16.6 at.% W alloy quenched from the
high temperature α phase region to investigate Ni 4 W type ordering in the near-surface …

Objective: To investigate the arthritis inhibiting effect of endostatin, known to have potent
antiangiogenic activity, systemically given to animal models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). …
