Abstract Inflammation-based prognostic indicators have been developed to predict the prognosis in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, indices not established unresectable cancer, including those without indication for chemotherapy at diagnosis. This study aimed identify predictors all We retrospectively analyzed data of 119 cancer from June 2006 September 2018. The following laboratory parameters were evaluated: Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), modified GPS, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte...
Abstract Blood compatibility has been studied for hydrophilic polymers such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), its derivative, and polyethylene grafted with water‐soluble monomers. The surfaces in contact electrolyte solutions have characterized by measuring the zeta potentials. study of plasma protein adsorption on these revealed that bovine serum albumin well fibrinogen adsorbs to a lesser extent hydrophilicity increases. Platelet deposition fibrin formation, examined using platelet‐rich...
SUMMARY The relative contribution of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages in the early protection against intranasal infection mice with influenza virus was investigated. Virus multiplication lung phase less than 1·5 × 103 plaque-forming units enhanced by X-ray irradiation. administration carrageenan did not influence titre virus. However, when were infected 104 units, elevated as well irradiation, but intraperitoneal carrageenan. only inhibited phagocytic activity alveolar also...
CDX2, a transcriptional factor expressed in the intestine, is implicated development and maintenance of intestinal mucosa. Recent studies have demonstrated that CDX2 metaplasia stomach intestinal-type gastric cancer, while it not normal To investigate role we determined expression cell proliferation rate various types cancer tissues by immunostaining. Surgically dissected were collected from 40 patients. Consistent with previous reports, was most mucosa samples (89%, 16/18), although found...
Abstract Background The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) proposed the concept of locomotive syndrome (LS) in 2007 for detecting high-risk individuals with mobility limitation. In 2020, JOA revised clinical decision limits and introduced LS stage 3, which carried highest-risk compared to conventional stages, 1 2. purpose this study was characterize prevalence, comorbidities, physical characteristics each stage, as per criteria 2020. Methods We analyzed 2077 participants (64.9% women;...
Purpose: Ultrasound-based prediction methods for the detection of low muscle mass sarcopenia in older adults have been explored previously; however, that most accurately predicts it is unclear. This study aimed to clarify accuracy and cut-off values ultrasound-derived thigh lower leg thickness (MT) detect skeletal index (SMI) estimate based on two standard deviations (SD) below younger adult means corresponding muscles as an early tool site-specific mass. Methods: included 204...

J Strength Cond Res 36(2): 359-364, 2022-Muscle immediately after exercise may be metabolic stress. The accumulation of stress is considered to promote several weeks training (RT). purpose this study was determine the relationship first session RT a 6-week using ultrasonography. Twenty-two untrained young men performed knee...
Attenuation of the ultrasound (US) wave is a serious limitation echo intensity (EI) on B-mode US. The aim this study was to determine whether focus depth US images influences depth-dependent attenuation EI and relationship between intramuscular adipose tissues (IntraMAT).The rectus femoris (RF) vastus intermedius (VI) right thigh were studied in 135 adults (92 older, 43 younger). measured at three conditions: top image, center RF, VI. region interest (ROI) measured. IntraMAT calculated using...
The characteristics of muscle degeneration in individual quadriceps early knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the association quantity quality on dysfunction remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify muscles OA elucidate volume intramuscular adipose tissue (intraMAT) with dysfunction, including functional disabilities, symptoms, joint morphology.Fifty participants were categorized into healthy control groups. 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using T1-weighted Dixon methods 3D SPACE thigh...
Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes chronic polyarthritis and joint dysfunction, reducing work productivity. This reduction is mainly due to presenteeism, characterized by impaired performance despite being present at work. study aims investigate the impact of specific involvement, particularly in upper extremities, on disability RA patients. Methods: Annual surveys assessing were conducted among outpatients enrolled Nagahama Riumachi Cohort City Hospital, using Work Productivity...
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to explore whether mechanical load features, including the magnitude of medial knee contact force (KCFmed) and its center pressure (KCFcop) during gait, predict future surgery in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Twenty-six OA walked three times at a comfortable speed, external adduction moment (KAM), flexion (KFM), total KAM KFM (KTM) were assessed. We further evaluated KCFmed KCFcop using musculoskeletal model. The values moments extracted first...
Objectives: Although various kinematic parameters have been investigated as factors associated with shoulder and elbow injuries during pitching, the relationship between lower extremity flexibility such remains unclear. The objective of this meta-analysis was to examine association pitching flexibility. Designs: A systematic review meta-analysis. Date sources: comprehensive conducted using data extracted from five databases (MEDLINE, Web Science, CENTRAL, Scopus, PEDro) following method...
