An illuminator was positioned behind the examinees' ears; the angle between the illuminator and the microscope was 30 ~ 45 degrees with a 10× magnification.Without iridodilator usage, the characteristics of lens were assessed using slit lamp with proper brightness, height, and width.
The catheter was passed into the stomach and then slowly returned into the esophagus; its proper positioning was assessed using the "occlusion test" [14].
Its proper positioning was assessed using the occlusion test [ 11].
Its proper positioning was assessed using the occlusion test described elsewhere [ 12].
The catheter was passed into the stomach and then slowly returned into the esophagus; its proper positioning was assessed using the 'occlusion test' [ 11].
Before animals were paralyzed, the catheter was passed into the stomach, slowly returned into the esophagus, and its proper positioning was assessed using the 'occlusion test' [ 22, 23].
Proper incorporation of the hph cassette at the BAR1 locus was assessed using primers P1 P6 and Taq polymerase (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions (Fig. 1).
Dementia severity was assessed using the CDR.
Synchrony was assessed using SPIKE-distance58.
Protein concentrations were assessed using the Pierce ™ BCA Protein Assay Kit
