Ticks are ectoparasitic arthropods that can transmit a variety of microorganisms to humans and animals during blood feeding, causing serious infectious disorders, including Lyme disease. Acaricides pharmacologic agents kill ticks. The emergence acaricide-resistant ticks calls for alternative control strategies tick-borne diseases. Many develop resistance after repeated infestations, but the nature this acquired anti-tick immunity remains poorly understood. Here we investigated cellular...
We have searched the human genome for genes that predispose to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using fluorescence-based microsatellite marker analysis and affected sib-pair linkage study. A panel of 41 Japanese families, each with at least two siblings, was typed genome-wide 358 polymorphic loci. Markers were amplified by PCR fluorescence-tagged primers sized based on difference CA repeats DNA. Linkage made maximum lod score (MLS). The MLS D1S214 D8S556 3.27 3.33, while HLA-DRB1 region <3.0....
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> The relationship between white matter disruption and cognitive dysfunction of patients with mTBI in the chronic stage remains unclear. aim this study was to identify integrity by using DTI without morphologic traumatic abnormalities seen conventional imaging evaluate association such regions function. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Diffusion tensor images from 51 consecutive on MRI were processed, FA maps generated as a measure integrity. All subjects underwent...
Few studies have compared the efficacy of proton pump inhibitors in resolving symptoms non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and erosive gastro-oesophageal (GERD) Japan.To investigate compare 4-week course rabeprazole 10 mg/day on symptom resolution NERD GERD Japan.The modified Los Angeles classification was used to grade endoscopically patients with heartburn (Grades N M: NERD, Grades A B: mild oesophagitis (RO), C D: severe RO). Rabeprazole administered for 4 weeks 180 who kept...
Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2011; 33: 323–332 Summary Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are less effective in non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) patients than oesophagitis patients. Whether the addition of prokinetics to PPIs improves NERD patients' symptoms remains unknown. Aim To evaluate efficacy mosapride when used with PPI. Methods A total 200 were randomised one two arms: omeprazole (10 mg once daily) plus citrate (5 three times a day) (treatment arm) and placebo (placebo arm). The...
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a predictor for cerebral infarction (CI), and early diagnosis of TIA extremely important the prevention CI. We set out to identify novel antibody biomarkers CI, detected matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), chromobox homolog (CBX1), 5 (CBX5) as candidate antigens using serological identification by recombinant cDNA expression cloning (SEREX) Western blotting confirm presence serum antibodies against antigens. Amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous...
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and usefulness contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) 3-dimensional (3D) time-of-flight (TOF) MRA for follow-up intracranial aneurysms treated using Enterprise stent. Methods: Five aneurysm cases stent were prospectively analyzed followed up with CE-MRA, 3D TOF MRA, digital subtraction (DSA). Depictions parent artery lumen neck CE-MRA compared those DSA. Results: In all cases, on it difficult evaluate owing...

Purpose: This study evaluated the correlation between quantified calcification of carotid siphon and arteriosclerotic changes on angiography as well clinical outcome. We used calcium score obtained from intracranial arteries viewed plain CT. Method/Materials: examined siphons 72 consecutive patients who had undergone both CT brain. calculated scores siphon. Arteriosclerotic were categorized "smooth," "irregular," or "stenosis." assessed in bifurcation. reviewed records approximately 2 years...
BCL6 is a transcriptional repressor that has important functions in lymphocyte differentiation and lymphomagenesis, but there have been no reports of expression gastric cancers. In the present study, we investigated function Treatment with TPA resulted degradation cyclin D2 upregulation. This phenomenon was inhibited by suppression nuclear translocation HB-EGF-CTF (C-terminal fragment pro-HB-EGF). The leads to interaction export BCL6, after mediated ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. Real-time...
Retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage (RLVD) in dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) is associated with intracerebral hemorrhage and nonhemorrhagic neurological deficits or death. Angiographic evidence of RLVD a definite indication for treatment, but less invasive methods identifying are required.To evaluate the efficacy susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (SWI) detecting DAVFs.We retrospectively identified 17 DAVF patients who had angiographic received treatment....
Serum antibody markers have been increasingly identified not only for cancer and autoimmune diseases but also atherosclerosis-related such as acute ischemic stroke (AIS), myocardial infarction (AMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD). Biomarkers transient attack (TIA) non-ST segment elevation coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) are potentially useful detection of early phase atherosclerotic changes against AIS AMI, respectively.
