The requirements of biliary stents used in the palliation malignant obstruction are a long duration patency and minimal adverse effects. Covered self-expandable metal (SEMSs) have been shown to prevent tumor ingrowth, which is most frequent complication uncovered SEMSs. However, because they prone migration, superiority covered SEMS has yet be convincingly demonstrated. aim this study was evaluate over SEMSs distal due unresectable pancreatic carcinoma, using both stent types with relatively...
Osteochondral autografts have recently become popular to treat articular cartilage defects, and they are used for unstable osteochondritis dissecans lesions as a means of biological fixation.To evaluate the clinical results osteochondral autograft transfer elbow.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Osteochondral was performed on 18 baseball players (mean age, 13.6 years) with elbow. These included 9 that were grade 3 (separated but in situ) 4 (displaced fragment defect) based magnetic resonance...
Endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) has been reported as a safe and effective alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy in the management of common bile duct (CBD) stones; its effect on function yet be elucidated.To investigate sphincter Oddi (SO) motility before after EPBD determine SO function.The 10 patients with CBD stones was studied using manometry one week EPBD. The manometric studies were repeated month seven patients.One EPBD, pressure, peak basal frequency decreased...
Infection by a baculovirus (Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus, BmNPV) in silkworm mori) larvae is highly efficient as an expression system for the production of useful proteins. However, amount protein interest expressed tends to decrease later stages infection presumably due, part, proteinase produced larval haemolymph. The N-terminal amino acid sequence purified from haemolymph BmNPV-infected was identical internal viral cysteine gene BmNPV, suggesting that originated BmNPV gene. We...
Following the Paris Agreement in 2015, worldwide focus on global warming countermeasures has intensified. The Japanese government declared its aim at achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. concept of zero-energy buildings (ZEBs) is based measures to reduce energy consumption buildings, prospects which are gradually increasing. This study investigated annual primary consumption; as well evaluated, renewed, and renovated that had a solar power generation system, utilized geothermal heat. It...
abstract The purpose of this study was to assess double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, which reproduces the anteromedial bundle and posterolateral bundle, using a navigation system. In 32 patients, anteroposterior (AP) displacement rotation tibia were measured before reconstruction after fixation, ACL (in bundles fixation). has an important role in extension position, whereas restricts AP from flexion. significantly improved compared or fixation. Although traditional...
In situ fixation of unstable lesions osteochondral dissecans the knees with cylindrical autograft transplantation has been reported to provide excellent results healing fragment.To evaluate clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings treated in fragments transplantation.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Twelve (12 patients; mean age, 16.0 years) were autogenous plugs. The lesion size was 2.4 cm(2) (range, 1.0-4.9 cm(2)). located on medial femoral condyle 10 patients lateral 2 patients....
Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is characterized by excessive hepatic fat accumulation. Some individuals frequently present elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels without ultrasound images and other abnormal enzymes levels. However, whether these are at an risk for developing unclear. We compared change rates factors between with GGT those normal Methods designed a retrospective cohort study on the basis of complete medical checkup records. One group had...
Background and Purpose —A growing amount of evidence suggests that infectious inflammatory processes may be involved in the initiation arteriosclerosis, but mechanisms are conceivably multifactorial complex. Two European groups have recently demonstrated a C(−260)→T polymorphism promoter CD14 lipopolysaccharide receptor risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The T allele this reportedly increases expression atherogenesis. In present study we investigated possible association between...
To develop a microfocused x-ray source, field emission properties of bundle multiwalled carbon nanotubes were investigated under an ordinary vacuum pressure 5×10−7Torr for practical use. Total current reached up to 1.3mA at applied voltage −7kV. An emitted electron beam was focused on Cu anode by using simple electrostatic lens and excited x ray with the source size less than 30μm. X-ray transmission images taken as preliminary demonstration clear whose resolutions nearly equal easily obtained.
Abstract Objective: The aim of this work was to investigate the prevalence camptocormia and clinical characteristics patients with in a large population PD patients. Background: Although has been recognized as prominent phenomenon PD, previous epidemiological reports were limited, especially terms sample size. Methods: We evaluated 531 (disease duration: 7.0 ± 5.5 years, mean standard deviation). examined their features camptocormia. Results: Camptocormia detected 22 (4.1%) found who older...
Abstract Recovery of Li+ from geothermal water has been investigated using a combination adsorptive separation with magnetite and λ-MnO2 adsorbents. The inhibition adsorption together decomposition was observed when containing As fed to the column in which packed. Magnetite (Fe3O4) therefore used for removal water, prior Li+. Using magnetite, significantly prevented during Li+, although small amount still remained. Keywords: Adsorptionlithium waterλ-MnO2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT authors are grateful...

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios can indicate poor disease prognosis are inflammation markers. We investigated the role of NLR PLR as effective predictive markers immune-related adverse event (irAE) onset in patients treated with nivolumab.We retrospectively analysed 73 gastric renal cancer nivolumab at Hokkaido Cancer Centre from January 2017 to June 2020. were calculated initiation treatment irAE onset. identified risk factors for Grade 3-4 using NLR,...
We report a heat treatment of catalyst in air that drastically enhances growth carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by means thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). An Fe film deposited on Si substrate was treated at 700°C before the acetylene CVD. The rate CNTs grown with more than seven times higher without treatment. A scanning electron microscopy observation showed promotes granulation catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflection high energy diffraction analyses an oxidation formation...
