We investigated the effects of zinc supplementation on clinical observations in chronic hepatitis C patients receiving pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alpha-2b plus ribavirin combination therapy. Patients were randomly allocated to receive 150 mg polaprezinc (zinc group, n=11) or no supplement (control n=12) daily addition PEG-IFN therapy and 300 vitamin E 600 for 48 wk. Among who continued treatment, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level at 12 wk group was significantly lower than that...
Cytokeratin (CK) 18 M30 antigen has been proposed as a diagnostic marker of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We studied serum CK18 level and examined the correlations among biological data, dietary intake, plasma acid composition in middle-aged Japanese males with (NAFLD; n=42) without NAFLD (control; n=35). was diagnosed if subjects showed on abdominal ultrasonography their alcohol consumption <20 g/d. They were also confirmed to have negative serological results for tests...
Nutrition may play an important role in the pathogenesis and treatment of ulcerative colitis. Several studies suggest association between dietary factors onset colitis; however, only few have examined relationship intake relapse The aim this study was to assess antioxidative capacity colitis patients elucidate efficacy therapy for Dietary intake, fatty acid composition phospholipids plasma neutrophils, serum fat-soluble vitamin levels, oxygen radical absorbance were analyzed 29 (7 males 22...
There are currently few appropriate instruments for assessing nutrition care competencies in clinical practice. This study aimed to develop a perceived (PNCC) scale dietetic students and test its validity. Factors that influence PNCC scores were examined through cross-sectional study.
Objectives: In Indonesia, many schools do not have school feeding programs, and children usually buy snacks from canteens or vendors. The history of the country's programs is well documented. This study examined Indonesia's nutritional problems previous programs. It also investigated implementation related challenges in a current pilot national program known as PROGAS.
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (1.8 g/day) was administered to 12 chronic hepatitis C patients receiving combination therapy of pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) alpha-2b and ribavirin for 48 weeks (EPA group). Twelve were not EPA (control All also received vitamin E (300, 600 mg/day, respectively) during the therapy. Serum alanine aminotransferase improved a normal level in 8 from group 6 control after weeks. Lymphocyte counts decreased significantly group, but group. T-helper (Th) 1 4 (two-way...
To elucidate the efficacy of dietary therapy for ulcerative colitis (UC), we analyzed fatty acid intakes, compositions phospholipids in plasma and blood cells, serum cytokines 12 patients with UC. Correlations among diet, cell were also investigated UC patients. Although fat energy ratio was lower than controls, no significant difference observed their intakes. Significantly higher linoleic levels erythrocyte, mononuclear neutrophil compared controls. Concerning phospholipids, two times...
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory actions. To evaluate the effects of EPA on chronic hepatitis C, we administered ethyl ester capsules patients receiving combination therapy interferon αa-2b and ribavirin. (1, 800mg/d) was supplemented in with vitamin E (300mg/d) C (600mg/d) 5 (EPA group). Five were but not (control Blood samples obtained before after 4, 8, 12 24 wk analyzed for fatty compositions erythrocyte plasma serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine....
Abstract A role of 12-lipoxygenase in the progression non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is suggested, although underlying mechanism not entirely understood. The catalytic activity 12S-lipoxygenase that was hardly observed liver cytosol normal chow-fed mice clearly detectable NASH model prepared by feeding a methionine and choline-deficient (MCD) diet. product profile, substrate specificity immunogenicity indicated enzyme platelet-type isoform. expression levels mRNA protein MCD diet-fed...
This study investigated the leftover rate of side dishes in school lunches provided by communal kitchens Japan’s Chugoku region, with a focus on vegetable supplied containers and three types menu items served daily to 20 elementary junior high schools kitchen A for 116 days. First, leftovers that were returned weighed combined. The then compared outside temperature, distance from A, type, number students per class, assignment nutrition teachers, time elapsed after cooking. Finally, we...
In an aging society, the novel concept of added food functionality in a dysphagia diet is necessary for preventing diseases and maintain nutrition intake. The present study evaluated utilization Dioscorea japonica as thickened liquid people with due to its unique physical properties beneficial effects on chronic inflammation. viscosity prepared using freeze-dried powder was compared those xanthan gum commercially available liquids selected conditions resembling cooking. showed high...
【目的】本研究は病院給食におけるハラール対応の現状を調査し,イスラーム教など宗教や食の信念をもつ患者の受け入れ体制の整備や対応の基礎資料とすることを目的とした。
The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) has recently been introduced to assess the skills of medical trainees. This study develops scales and assesses problems with such a system for evaluating skill student at registered dietitian school. All 34 undergraduates in third year 4-year course were enrolled examine reliability test reliability. Significant correlations found between two observers, an acceptable Cronbach alpha level evaluation sheet was obtained. However, result total...
We investigated the effects of zinc supplementation on clinical observations in chronic hepatitis C patients during PEG-interferon α-2b plus ribavirin (PEG-IFN/R) therapy. Patients were randomly allocated to receive daily 150 mg polaprezinc (Zn group, n=11) or no supplement (control, n=12) addition PEG-IFN/R therapy and antioxidant vitamin (300 E 600 C). Ten 11 (91%) Zn group 7 12 (58%) control showed decrease ALT levels (</=35 U/l) after 8 weeks This observation indicates that may induce...
Abstract Background: In the elderly, reduced mastication and swallowing functions result in malnutrition deterioration quality of life. As individuals age society, novel concept dysphagia diet is essential order to prevent lifestyle chronic diseases maintain nutrition intake. Recently, we reported that Dioscorea japonica, a wild yam, has preventive effects on inflammation via inhibition proinflammatory lipid mediator synthesis. The paste japonica showed conformable physical properties as...
