Boron (B) is required for cross linking of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) and consequently essential maintenance cell wall structure. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) BOR1 an efflux B transporter xylem loading B. Here, we describe roles BOR2, most similar paralog BOR1. BOR2 encodes localized in plasma membrane strongly expressed lateral root caps epidermis elongation zones roots. Transfer DNA insertion reduced by 68%, whereas mutation it 32% under low availability...
Green tea is known to have various health benefits for humans. However, the effect of green consumption on cognitive dysfunction remains be clinically verified. We conducted a clinical study investigate effects dysfunction. Twelve elderly nursing home residents with (Mini-Mental State Examination Japanese version (MMSE-J) score: <28) participated in (2 men, 10 women; mean age, 88 years). The participants consumed powder 2 g/day 3 months. After three months consumption, participants’...
Green tea is a beverage with potential effects on cognitive dysfunction, as indicated by results of experimental studies. However, its in humans, especially at real-world (typical) consumption levels, are unclear. A double-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted to assess the green dysfunction (Mini-Mental State Examination Japanese version (MMSE-J) score <28) Japan. Participants were randomly allocated or placebo group, and consumed either 2 g/day powder (containing 220.2 mg...
Recently, item responses and total scores on depression screening scales have been reported to characteristic distributions in the general population. The distributional pattern of Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) population has not well studied. Thus, we carried out a analysis PHQ-9 US adults. Data (5372 individuals) were drawn from 2013–2014 National Nutrition Examination Survey United States. score data investigated with graphical exponential regression model. Lines showed same...
Abstract Background Although associations between antibiotic exposure in infants and asthma development are reported, few studies have examined the effects of prenatal to antibiotics. We evaluated this association considering types using a large‐scale claim database Japan. Methods This retrospective study health insurance administrative data Japan included children born January 2005 September 2014. constructed 2 cohorts: initial cohort, with information on children's mothers, sibling at...
Background: Epidemiological studies using the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) have reported inconsistencies regarding relationship between age and total scores. To determine whether this discrepancy is due to stability of distribution PHQ-9 scores against age, we investigated score remains stable during adulthood, also mathematical patterns distribution. Methods: The present study utilized data from 15,847 participants 2009-2014 United States National Nutrition Examination...
Abstract The prevalence of psychological distress is fairly stable in industrialised countries recent decades, but the reasons for this stability remain unknown. To investigate mechanisms underlying general population United States, we analysed mathematical patterns distribution decades. present study utilised Kessler scale (K6) data from 1997‒2017 States National Health Interview Survey. We used overlap coefficients and graphical analysis to K6 distribution. Overlap demonstrated that total...
Background The anti-influenza virus activity of green tea catechins has been demonstrated in experimental studies, but clinical evidence inconclusive. School-aged children play an important role the infection and spread influenza form school-based outbreaks. Preventing among students is essential for reducing frequency epidemics pandemics. As a non-pharmaceutical intervention against infection, gargling also commonly performed Asian countries not yet extensively studied. Methods Findings A...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia has been identified as a potential negative prognostic factor in cancer patients. In this study, our objective was to investigate the relationship between assessment method for sarcopenia using masseter muscle volume measured on computed tomography (CT) images and life expectancy of patients with oral cancer. We also developed learning model deep automatically extract investigated its association Methods To develop volume, we used manually extracted data from...
The prevalence of dietary supplements has increased in Japan, and, as a consequence, the adverse events associated with supplement use have become more prominent. Severe must be reported to Japanese government via public health centers. However, number cases is limited. To clarify this discrepancy, we conducted an internet questionnaire, and surveyed how consumers, physicians pharmacists acted when they or their patients developed due use. This study was completed by 2732 515 physicians,...
The effect of preoperative transthoracic echocardiography on the clinical outcomes patients with hip fractures undergoing surgical treatment remains controversial. We hypothesized that is associated reduced postoperative morbidity and improved patient survival after repair fractures.Drawing from a nationwide administrative database, fracture surgeries between April 1, 2008 December 31, 2016 were included. examined association incidence in-hospital mortality using propensity score matching....
Abstract Extracts of Jatoba, a South American herb, when injected i.p. into mouse model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), inhibited the aggravation clinical symptoms. At same time, production myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein Ag-specific IFN-γ and TNF-α by spleen cells was markedly suppressed. After administration Jatoba there minimal evidence demyelination that is characteristic EAE model. Decreases in scores were observed extracts just before Ag. The purified active...
Objective Dietary supplement use has increased over past decades, resulting in reports of potentially serious adverse events. The aim this study was to develop optimised methods evaluate the causal relationships between events and dietary supplements, test these using case reports. Design Causal relationship assessment prospectively collected data. Setting participants 4 experts, pharmacists 11 registered dietitians (5 men 14 women) examined 200 suspected modified Naranjo scale Food Drug...
