We apply magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling to the radio galaxy Hercules A for investigating the jet-driven shock, jet/lobe transition, wiggling, and magnetic field distribution associated with this...
Asada, Keiichi, Inoue, Makoto, Nakamura, Masanori, Kameno, Seiji, Nagai, Hiroshi
We present results from multifrequency polarimetry of NRAO 140 using the Very Long Baseline Array. These observations allow us to reveal the distributions of both the polarization position angle and...

In this study, we first measured some cytokine concentrations in the serum of patients treated with Juzentaihoto (JTT). Of the cytokines measured interleukin (IL) -18 was the most prominently...
Fine structure and mineral components of primary calculi in some human prostates (2008)
Kodaka, Tetsuo, Hirayama, Akihiko, Sano, Tsuneyoshi, Debari, Kazuhiro, Mayahara, Mitsuori, Nakamura, Masanori
The fine structure of prostatic calculi has not been elucidated yet, although the chemical components were reported in detail. We studied the primary or endogenous calculi removed from eight human...
X-ray Observables of Magnetically Dominated Cavities in Clusters (2007)
Diehl, Steven, Nakamura, Masanori, Li, Hui, Rafferty, David
We present results from magneto-hydrodynamic jet simulations in the magnetically dominated regime and find that they inflate cavities into the intracluster medium. Mock Chandra X-ray observations of...
Nakamura, Masanori, Li, Hui, Diehl, Steven, Li, Shengtai
We argue the behavior of Poynting flux-dominated outflows from AGN in the galactic cluster systems by performing three-dimensional MHD simulations within the framework of the "magnetic tower" model....
Stability Properties of Magnetic Tower Jets (2006)
Nakamura, Masanori, Li, Hui, Li, Shengtai
Stability properties of ``magnetic tower'' jets propagating in the gravitationally stratified background have been examined by performing three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The...
Structure of Magnetic Tower Jets in Stratified Atmospheres (2006)
Nakamura, Masanori, Li, Hui, Li, Shengtai
Based on a new approach on modeling the magnetically dominated outflows from AGNs (Li et al. 2006), we study the propagation of magnetic tower jets in gravitationally stratified atmospheres (such as...
MHD supernova jets: the missing link (2006)
Meier, David L., Nakamura, Masanori
We review recent progress in the theory of jet production, with particular emphasis on the possibility of 1) powerful jets being produced in the first few seconds after collapse of a supernova core...
Nakamura, Masanori, Meier, David L.
Non-relativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of Poynting flux dominated (PFD) jets are presented. Our study focuses on the propagation of strongly magnetized hypersonic,...
MHD Supernova Jets: The Missing Link (2003)
Meier, David L., Nakamura, Masanori
We review recent progress in the theory of jet production, with particular emphasis on the possibility of 1) powerful jets being produced in the first few seconds after collapse of a supernova core...
3-D Simulations of MHD Jets - The Stability Problem (2003)
Nakamura, Masanori, Meier, David L.
Non-relativistic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of Poynting-flux-dominated (PFD) jets are presented. Our study focuses on the propagation of strongly magnetized hypersonic but...
Reperfusion induces myocardial apoptotic cell death (2000)
Zhao, Zhi-Qing, Nakamura, Masanori, Wang, Ning-Ping, Wilcox, Josiah N., Shearer, Steven, Ronson, Russell S., ...
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether apoptosis is triggered during ischemia (I) and reperfusion (R) and whether I/R-induced apoptosis is correlated with changes in...
Nakamura, Masanori, Wang, Ning-Ping, Zhao, Zhi-Qing, Wilcox, Josiah N, Thourani, Vinod, Guyton, Robert A, ...
Objective: Recent studies suggest that ischemic preconditioning (IPC) inhibits myocardial apoptosis after ischemia and reperfusion. This study tested the hypothesis that IPC reduces...
The cardiovascular effects and implications of peroxynitrite (1999)
Ronson, Russell S, Nakamura, Masanori, Vinten-Johansen, Jakob
Nitric oxide is an endogenous autacoid produced primarily by the vascular endothelium. Under basal conditions, nitric oxide undergoes a rapid biradical reaction with superoxide anions to form...

The ultrastructural characteristics of multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) on octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were investigated in comparison with those of osteoclasts, when the...

IL-1 (interleukin-1) acts as a key mediator of the degeneration of articular cartilage in RA (rheumatoid arthritis) and OA (osteoarthritis), where chondrocyte death is observed. It is still...

When injected intraperitoneally into mice in doses larger than those used clinically, all the amino derivatives of bisphosphonates (aminoBPs) tested induce a variety of inflammatory reactions such as...

Mast cells and basophils are believed to trigger allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. They rapidly release histamine (H), a typical mediator of inflammation, in response to antigens. In the mouse,...
