AbstractOkazaki T, Yoshihara H, Suzuki K, Yamada Y, Tsujimura Kawano Abe H. Efficacy of interferon therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Comparison between non-drinkers and drinkers. Scand J Gastroenterol 1994;29:1039-1043.Background: Alcohol has been reported to be an important factor that modulates the development prognosis viral hepatitis; however, little is known about interaction alcohol intake The aim this study was examine whether drinking affects effectiveness (IFN) for...
Developing a PET ligand for imaging of the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR; Translocator Protein [18 kDa] TSPO) is great importance studying its role in glial cells injured brain and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer9s disease. The aim this study was to synthesize evaluate <i>N</i>-benzyl-<i>N</i>-ethyl-2-(7-<sup>11</sup>C-methyl-8-oxo-2-phenyl-7,8-dihydro-9H-purin-9-yl)acetamide (<sup>11</sup>C-AC-5216) PBR primate brain. <b>Methods:</b> AC-5216 desmethyl precursor...
To determine the effects of pancreatoduodenectomy on hepatic fat content, CT attenuation was evaluated after pancreatoduodenectomy.Pancreatoduodenectomy had a significant influence content and associated with frequent occurrence steatosis, which easily recognized CT.
Abstract Experimentally measured cross sections are presented for the nat Cu( α , xn ) 66,67,68 Ga and 68 Zn( p 67,68 nuclear processes up to 36 20 MeV, respectively. Based on these results reliable section data available in literature, possible thick target yields were also calculated. Two different production routes (Cu+ Zn+ discussed detail, especially with regard 66 67 contamination levels as a function of enrichment level incident bombarding energies. Both can be used in-house low...
極く最近まで殆んど不明状態にあった我国のE型肝炎の実態を明らかにする目的で,我々は全国から総数254例のE型肝炎ウイルス(HEV)感染例を集め,統計学的・疫学的・ウイルス学的特徴を求めてこれを解析した.その結果,[i]HEV感染は北海道から沖縄まで全国津々浦々に浸透していること;[ii]感染者の多くは中高年(平均年齢約50歳)で,且つ男性優位(男女比約3.5対1)であること;[iii]我国に土着しているHEVはgenotype 3とgenotype 4であるが,後者は主に北海道に偏在していること;[iv]年齢と肝炎重症度との間に相関があること;[v]Genotype 3よりはgenotype 4による感染の方が顕性化率も重症化率も高いこと;[vi]発生時期が無季節性であること;[vii]集積症例全体の約30%は動物由来食感染,8%は輸入感染,2%は輸血を介する感染に帰せしめ得たものの,過半の症例(約60%)に於いては感染経路が不明のままであること;等の知見を得た.
Rationale and ObjectivesA more accurate lung nodule detection algorithm is needed. We developed a modified three-dimensional (3D) U-net deep-learning model for the automated of nodules on chest CT images. The purpose this study was to evaluate accuracy 3D model.Materials MethodsIn Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act-compliant, Institutional Review Board-approved retrospective study, based trained using Lung Image Database Consortium Resource Initiative dataset. For internal...
Extrastriatal D2 dopamine receptors represent an important target of research into the pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy psychiatric disorders. The high affinity radioligand [11C]FLB 457 makes possible measurement low concentrations in extrastriatal regions using positron emission tomography (PET). aim this study was to assess test/retest variability reliability binding a reference tissue model. Eight healthy male subjects (aged 20-33 years) underwent two PET examinations. Radioactivity...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Our goal was to evaluate the incidence and frequent sites of pulmonary vein stump thrombus (PVST) formation after resection. METHODS This is a prospective multicentre observational study conducted by 14 institutions in Japan. Enrolled patients underwent anatomical resection including lobectomy, bilobectomy, pneumonectomy, left upper trisegmentectomy or lingular segmentectomy. Postoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography performed early period PVST. Furthermore,...
Lung cancer could be misdiagnosed as benign due to its atypical radiological findings or difficulty in the histological diagnosis. We intended elucidate clinicopathological features of such lung cancers. Between 2008 and 2011, we performed surgical resection for 564 consecutive patients with adenocarcinoma. Findings on thin-section computed tomography were reviewed all patients, 13 whom found have mimicking organizing pneumonia. The pneumonia other adenocarcinomas evaluated. Among pneumonia,...
Background: The prevalence of antinuclear antibody (ANA) and interferon (IFN)-induced ANA has been documented in patients with chronic hepatitis C. In the present study we evaluated whether induction pattern after IFN therapy is related to efficacy therapy. Methods: Forty-four C were enrolled. Autoimmune was excluded all. measured every month before, during, for 6 months (total dose, 336 ∼ 480 M units). Results: Eight 44 (18%) positive before (group I). group I six eight ANA-positive showed...
