Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrate analysis by a phenol-sulfuric acid method in microplate format.
Tatsuya Masuko,Akio Minami,Norimasa Iwasaki,Tokifumi Majima,Shin-Ichiro Nishimura,Yuan C. Lee +5 more
TL;DR: This work has modified and optimized the phenol-sulfuric acid method to use 96-well microplates for high throughput, to gain greater sensitivity, and to economize the reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomic reconstruction of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament using hamstring tendon grafts
Kazunori Yasuda,Eiji Kondo,Hiroki Ichiyama,Nobuto Kitamura,Yoshie Tanabe,Harukazu Tohyama,Akio Minami +6 more
TL;DR: The arthroscopically assisted anatomic reconstruction procedure of the posterolateral and anteromedial bundles using hamstring tendon autografts is clinically practical in the treatment for the ACL-deficient knee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of chitosan-based hyaluronic acid hybrid biomaterial for a novel scaffold in cartilage tissue engineering.
Shintaro Yamane,Norimasa Iwasaki,Tokifumi Majima,Tadanao Funakoshi,Tatsuya Masuko,Kazuo Harada,Akio Minami,Kenji Monde,Shin-Ichiro Nishimura +8 more
TL;DR: The in vitro behavior of rabbit chondrocytes on a novel chitosan-based hyaluronic acid hybrid polymer fiber is investigated to show the superiority of this novel fiber as a scaffold biomaterial for cartilage tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved accuracy of computer-assisted cervical pedicle screw insertion
TL;DR: In contrast to the previously reported computer-assisted technique, the CPS insertion technique provides real-time three-dimensional instrument/screw tip information that serves as a powerful tool for safe and accurate pedicle screw placement in the cervical spine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of polysaccharide hybrid materials for scaffolds in cartilage tissue engineering: evaluation of chondrocyte adhesion to polyion complex fibers prepared from alginate and chitosan.
Norimasa Iwasaki,Shintarou Yamane,Tokifumi Majima,Yasuhiko Kasahara,Akio Minami,Kazuo Harada,Sachiko Nonaka,Nobuhiko Maekawa,Hiroshi Tamura,Seiichi Tokura,Masamichi Shiono,Kenji Monde,Shin-Ichiro Nishimura +12 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that an alginate-based chitosan hybrid polymer fiber has considerable potential as a desirable biomaterial for cartilage tissue scaffolds.
