Pitfalls in lung subtraction CT: delayed contrast acquisition causes underestimation of pulmonary perfusion in a canine model
Lung subtraction computed tomography (LSCT), assessing pulmonary perfusion by subtracting non-contrast-enhanced images from contrast-enhanced images, may underestimate pulmonary perfusion when contrast-enhanced image acquisition is delay...

Applying pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic concepts from human clinical anesthesia to laboratory animal anesthesia
Human clinical anesthesia, veterinary anesthesia, and laboratory animal anesthesia have advanced through the continued exchange of knowledge and techniques. Propofol is an example of this relationship: it was first evaluated in several a...

Regional differences in dorsal skin are associated with the onset of adhesive material-induced hair regeneration
Dorsal skin is widely used in mouse wound-healing, dermatitis, and hair-cycle models, but is often treated as a uniform site, even though spatial heterogeneity of the hair cycle, such as regenerative hair waves along the body axis, has b...

A novel intramyocardial coxsackievirus B3 injection model of viral myocarditis in C57BL/6J mice with reduced pancreatic involvement
Conventional coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced murine models of viral myocarditis (VMC) are limited by the relative resistance of C57BL/6J mice to CVB3 infection and the prominent pancreatic involvement associated with conventional intrap...

Characterization of a composite fatigue-like phenotype after Lewis lung carcinoma resection followed by low-dose cisplatin in mice
Fatigue-like impairment after cancer surgery occurs within a complex treatment context, yet experimental preparations that incorporate tumor history, resection, and postoperative treatment remain limited. This study characterized a compo...

Heterozygous disruption of Snrpf causes post-implantation embryonic lethality with RNA splicing perturbation in mice
RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional modification process of precursor mRNA. This process is regulated by the macromolecular complex known as the spliceosome. One of the major components of spliceosomes is the small nuclear ribonucleop...

Remimazolam improves survival and attenuates glycocalyx-related injury after hemorrhagic shock in rats
Systemic inflammatory activation and endothelial glycocalyx injury contribute to organ dysfunction and poor outcomes after hemorrhagic shock. We investigated whether remimazolam improved survival and attenuated inflammatory activation an...

In C5-heterozygous intercrosses, the proportion of C5-homozygous-null female offspring exceeds the expected Mendelian ratio
The complement system has functions beyond host defense, including roles in development and reproduction. However, the role of complement C5 in fertilization and early embryonic development remains unclear. Here, we investigated the repr...

IL-17RA deficiency improves diabetic wound healing and is associated with reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and NF-κB/JMJD3-related signaling
Diabetic wound healing is delayed by a hostile wound microenvironment characterized by persistent oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, and dysfunction of key reparative cells, including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, a...

Progressive islet remodeling during the prediabetic stage in female SDT rats
Prediabetes represents a critical stage in the progression to type 2 diabetes, during which early alterations in pancreatic islet structure and function occur. We investigated temporal histopathological changes associated with islet remo...
