Erratum: ASCA Observations of the Absorption-Line Features from the Super-Luminal Jet Source GRS 1915+105 (2000)

Kotani, Taro, Ebisawa, Ken, Dotani, Tadayasu, Inoue, Hajime, Nagase, Fumiaki, Tanaka, Yasuo, ...

We have discovered errors in the calculation of some of the Einstein coefficients in Table 5 and some plots in Figure 3. Due to the errors, the square-root section of the curves of growth of Fe xxvi...

Nitric Oxide Mediates Interleukin-1-Induced Gene Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor in Cultured Rabbit Articular Chondrocytes (1998)

Sasaki, Kazuhiro, Hattori, Takako, Fujisawa, Takuo, Takahashi, Kojiro, Inoue, Hajime, Takigawa, Masaharu

We recently reported that nitric oxide (NO), which is produced by chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1), releases basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) stored in the matrix of articular...

Endothelin-1 Production by Normal Human Cultured Keratinocytes and its Regulation (1994)

Hajime Inoue, Nagaoki Wakisaka, Nobuhiro Tane, Kazumasa Ando, Emiko Isono, Miwa Yamanaka, ...

The possibility that cultured keratinocytes produce endothelins were investigated. The results showed that cultured keratinocytes derived from normal human skin produce endothelin-1. Moreover,...

Reconstruction With Ipsilateral Fibula Transfer With Pasteurized Bone After Excision of Bone Sarcoma of the Tibia

Ozaki, Toshifumi, Fujiwara, Kazuo, Kunisada, Toshiyuki, Ito, Tatsuo, Kawai, Akira, Inoue, Hajime

We report a technique of implantation of the ipsilateral vascularized fibula with pasteurized recycled bone after excision of tibia sarcoma in two cases. Plate and screws were used for osteosynthesis...
