Post-operative ileus (PI) is an inevitable adverse consequence of abdominal surgical procedures. We performed a randomized study the effects herbal medicine dai-kenchu-to (DKT) on 24 patients with PI. Patients received either 15 g oral DKT or placebo daily for 14 days. The upper gastrointestinal motility, frequency secondary operation and recurrence PI were investigated. was significantly lower in receiving compared placebo. Oral administration clinically effective reducing both need further surgery
The effect of synthetic polycations, polyallylamine, and polyethylenimine, on liposomes containing phosphatidylserine was investigated along with that polylysine divalent cations. addition polycations caused aggregation sonicated vesicles composed phosphatidylcholine (molar ratio 1 : 4) as determined by measuring the turbidity changes. Liposomal increased 10 times compared control at charge ratios polymer/vesicle from 0.23 (polylysine) to 2.5 (linear polyethylenimine), while unchanged Ca2+...
Abstract Background Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that has an impact on the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) sufferers as well their children. To date, no study investigated effects parental leprosy well-being adolescent Methods A cross-sectional was conducted in Lalitpur and Kathmandu districts Nepal. Adolescents with leprosy-affected parents (n = 102; aged 11–17 years) those unaffected by 115; were investigated. Self-reported data from adolescents collected using Kinder...
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated neuropathy that causes acute flaccid paralysis. Immunoglobulin and plasma exchange are established treatments for GBS; however, a substantial number of patients, particularly those with severe disease, have poor recovery residual deficits. Recent studies suggest complement activation plays pivotal role in GBS-associated axonal degeneration, eculizumab humanized monoclonal antibody specifically binds to component 5 potently inhibits...

Study objective – The aim was to study the occlusion time dependency of reperfusion induced increases in regional cardiac noradrenaline release from ischaemic area relation incidence ventricular arrhythmias. Design left anterior descending coronary artery ligated for 15, 30 and 60 min three separate groups dogs (n = 10 per group). Each period followed by a period. sinus epicardial vein running parallel with were canndated measurement lactate. Experimental material adult mongrel dogs,...
Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to blood vessel formation in ischemic and tumorous tissues, but comprise only a small population circulation. We attempted immortalize putative EPCs from human cord blood. Human CD34+ were cultured the presence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) basic fibroblast (b-FGF), transfected with retroviral vector encoding simian virus 40 large T (SV40T) antigen. This resulted immortalization cells, leading establishment several cell lines. One...
Patients play a crucial role in preventing peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related events, including peritonitis and fluid overload, as PD procedures are mainly carried out at home. We asked patients to submit self-assessment sheet each outpatient visit our daily clinical practice evaluated its usefulness for outcomes initiating PD.This retrospective cohort study included who underwent catheter insertion between January 2008 October 2018. The submission rate of was calculated from medical records...
Abstract: Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) can occur after stem cell transplantation, but the aetiology is unknown. Based on association between angiitis syndrome and Helicobacter pylori infection, we identified possible risk factors common to these two conditions. Among 83 patients who underwent four developed IIP. We elucidated various parameters clinical features in with IIP 79 without, allogeneic transplantation. In all patients, (1) conditioning regimen induced total body...
Maintenance hemodialysis (HD) therapy is essential for survival in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD); however, HD can also be life-threatening the final stages of ESRD. Currently, no clear indicators and/or biomarkers exist regarding when should forgone. In present study, we examined temporal changes multiple clinical parameters, including biochemical data, physical use specific medical treatments, nursing care levels, and activities daily living (ADL) 47 ESRD who underwent...
Objective: The aim was to study (1) the effects of intracoronary saralasin, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, on ischaemia induced and reperfusion regional cardiac noradrenaline release ventricular arrhythmias; (2) implication in coronary constriction during myocardial ischaemia. Methods: Eighteen adult mongrel dogs, weight 22.6(SD 1.1) kg, anaesthetised with sodium pentobarbitone, were used for study. left anterior descending artery ligated 60 min then reperfused 30 min. Saralasin (60...
TPS595 Background: CYT001 (CYTLIMIC Inc.) is a novel cancer vaccine involving artificial intelligence (AI)-designed shared-antigen peptides and optimal combined adjuvants that boost the cancer-immunity cycle. The two multi-HLA reactive heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) glypican 3 (GPC3) were screened by an AI-based prediction system according to proteome, mRNA, histopathology data fromhuman samples. These immunogenic confirmed show cross-reactivity HLA-A 24:02, 02:01, 02:06. Poly-ICLC (Oncovir...
Abstract Background End-of-life medical care for patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) therapy has become an increasingly important issue worldwide. Thus far, no clear indicators and/or biomarkers exist regarding the timing of HD withdrawal. Methods To clarify perimortem circumstances, we examined temporal changes in multiple clinical parameters during last 10 serial sessions 65 terminal with end-stage renal disease who had undergone and died our hospital. Results The results...
【目的】「もしも」のときの医療・ケアにおける話し合い行動意図尺度の信頼性と妥当性を検討した.【方法】計画的行動理論を参考に項目を作成した.Item-Level Content Validity Index(I-CVI)による内容的妥当性の検討,予備テストを経て原案とした.関東地方の20~79歳の一般人(n=860)を対象に横断的調査および1週間後の再テスト(n=665)をWebにて実施した.尺度の項目分析および信頼性係数(級内相関係数,クロンバックα係数)の算出,構成概念妥当性,併存妥当性を検討した.【結果】探索的因子分析にて6因子(結果評価,影響感,コントロール信念,遵守意思,規範信念,行動信念)が確認された.尺度全体のα係数は0.96,既知集団妥当性による効果量,併存妥当性による相関係数は中程度であった.【結論】本尺度の信頼性と妥当性は概ね確認された.
