TL;DR: There is a basic defect in the formation/secretion process of surfactant by the 2PCs in HPS, which may well be the triggering factor for the HPSIP development, and other factors may be working synergistically for further acceleration of the inflammatory process.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the classification of lung lesions is reproducible and thus useful for analyzing the development of BAC, and some kinds of p53 gene abnormalities that are correlated with high-level p53 expression likely play an important role in the progression of early to overt BAC.

TL;DR: A GPI anchor-deficient mutant of Chinese hamster ovary cells defective in the second step is established, and a rat gene termed PIG-L (forphosphatidylinositol glycan classL) that is involved in this step is cloned.

TL;DR: Asymmetry of the range of hip motion persisted at 12 months after THA in patients with unilateral coxoarthropathy during free level walking, while the operation normalized the spatial asymmetry of other joints and the walking speed prior to the recovery of hipmotion.

TL;DR: Substantially more precise implant positioning seems to have led to less variance in limb-length inequality and less stress shielding of the proximal femur 5 years postoperatively.
