We report a case of gastroschisis in which a paraumbilical band was found at the right margin of the abdominal wall defect and extended into the antimesenteric side of the small intestine. The band consisted of 2 thin cords. Microscopically, 1 band showed a fibrous tissue, and the other 1 revealed a unique vascular structure resembling the vitelline artery and vein, suggesting that the paraumbilical band represents a remnant of the yolk stalk that failed to be incorporated into the umbilical stalk. The origin of the paraumbilical band and an associated pathogenetic hypothesis of gastroschisis are discussed.
This study is to propose a method to evaluate cumulative damage of steel buildings under plural strong seismic actions. A series of time history analyses on a one degree-of-freedom non-linear system are conducted for three strong ground motions simulated for Nagoya district.Comparing the results of the analyses, a method to predict the maximum and cumulative response values for successive action of the three motions from those of one single motion is proposed.Time history response analyses of thirty (30) storied steel building models with and without response control systems are conducted to verify the proposed method. In addition, seismic performances of these model buildings are evaluated based on "JSCA Performance Menu". Finally, the method and procedure to evaluate seismic performances of buildings for strong motions that act on the buildings one after one are proposed.Keywords� strong ground motion, response evaluation method, longevity life building, steel super-high-rise structure, response control structure, seismic performance based design, Tokyo University of Science, Dr. Eng.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
