Hepatitis B vaccine induces the production of antibodies against hepatitis surface antigen (anti-HBs) and prevents virus (HBV) infection. However, 5-10% individuals cannot develop anti-HBs even after multiple vaccinations (HB non-responders). We developed an intranasal containing both HBs (HBsAg) HB core (HBcAg) mixed it with a viscosity enhancer, carboxyl vinyl polymer (CVP-NASVAC). Here, we investigated prophylactic capacity CVP-NASVAC in non-responders. Thirty-four non-responders were...
Abstract Background Mucosal healing (MH) has been indicated as the therapeutic goal for ulcerative colitis (UC). Platelet count is known an inflammation evaluation. However, association between platelet and MH among patients with UC still scarce. We therefore assessed this issue Japanese UC.

Evidence regarding association between ulcerative and limited. Herein, we investigated clinical outcomes patients colitis. This was cross-sectional study using baseline data from prospective cohort study. Subjects this...
The albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) is a recognized chronic inflammation marker. No evidence regarding the relationship between AGR level and ulcerative colitis (UC) exists. aim of this study was evaluate association clinical outcomes among Japanese subjects with UC.The consisted 273 individuals UC. divided into 4 categories (low, moderate, high, very high). definition complete mucosal healing (MH) based on Mayo endoscopic subscore 0. Clinical remission (CR) defined as no rectal bleeding...
Diverse data accumulated by many science projects make up the most significant legacy of International Polar Year (IPY 2007-2008). The Data Center (PDC) National Institute Research (NIPR) has a responsibility to manage these for Japan as Antarctic (NADC) and World (WDC) Aurora. During IPY, number multidisciplinary metadata records were compiled from IPY endorsed with Japanese activity. A tight collaboration was established between Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), Information Commons...
Socioeconomic status is a risk factor for worse outcomes in many diseases. However, evidence on the association between socioeconomic and clinical outcome patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) limited. In setting, therapeutic goal UC to achieve mucosal healing (MH). Thus, aim of this study examine MH UC.The population consisted 298 UC. Education household income were divided into three groups based self-administered questionnaire. complete defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore 0-1 0,...
Objective Recently, a close association between ulcerative colitis (UC) and erectile dysfunction (ED) was reported. An inverse relationship serum albumin ED is found in patients with chronic disease. However, the levels UC unclear. This study aims to investigate this issue Japanese UC. Methods One hundred thirty‐six male were enrolled study. Information on medications for from medical records, Sexual Health Inventory Men (SHIM) score information self‐administered questionnaires severity of...
Abstract Double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase R (PKR) is highly expressed in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the role of PKR CRC remains unclear. The aim this study was to clarify whether C16 (a inhibitor) exhibits antitumor effects and identify its target pathway CRC. We evaluated on cell lines using MTS assay. Enrichment analysis performed C16. cycle analyzed flow cytometry. Finally, we used immunohistochemistry examine human specimens. suppressed proliferation cells. Gene...
Abstract Background Although the association between eating habits which can be modified and digestive diseases has been reported, to date, no research evaluated ulcerative colitis (UC). Thus, we investigate behavior clinical outcome in Japanese patients with UC. Methods Eating quickly, until full, skipping breakfast data was obtained from a self-administered questionnaire. Information on collected medical records. Mucosal healing (MH) partial MH defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 or...
