We investigated whether cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), an arterial stiffness marker, independently predicts future cardiovascular events in subjects with metabolic disorders.1562 outpatients underwent CAVI between April 2004 and March 2006 at Toho University, Sakura Medical Center Chiba, Japan. Patients who already had baseline, patients low ankle brachial (<0.9), atrial fibrillation were excluded. After exclusion, 1080 disorders including diabetes mellitus, hypertension dyslipidemia...
This paper presents a control scheme and comprehensive analysis for unified power flow controller (UPFC) on the basis of theory, computer simulation experiment. developed theoretical reveals that conventional feedback makes UPFC induce fluctuation in transient states. The cannot attenuate fluctuation, so time constant damping is independent active reactive gains integrated its circuit. proposes an advanced which has function successfully out fluctuation. A rated at 10 kVA designed...
A reoperation after excisional procedure was carried out in seven cases due to early or late postoperative complications. Of the 12 patients with complications, four underwent relaparotomy anastomotic leakage and bleeding. Late complications were seen nine recurrent cholangitis caused by an stricture, three intrahepatic involvement required a several years initial surgery. Recurrent biliary reconstruction mainly occurs stricture of hepaticoenterostomy. There no significant difference results...
The clinical features and surgical treatment of 75 patients with choledochal cysts intrahepatic involvement (Type IV-A) were evaluated. Seventeen in this series 58 reviewed from the literature. It was interest that incidence Type IV-A nearly 30%, considerably higher than had been previously assumed. This type is commonly found older children young adults. Abdominal pain fever indicative biliary tract infection are more frequently seen I, a mass not palpable. Surgical must achieve bile...
The vaccine for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to potentially cause or worsen diabetes. A 73-year-old Japanese woman received two doses of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Four weeks after second vaccination, her glycemic control began deteriorate, and 8 patient was diagnosed with new-onset type 1 diabetes that strongly positive autoantibodies showed a disease-susceptible human leukocyte antigen haplotype, DRB1*04:05:01-DQB1*04:01:01. glucagon stimulation test suggested...
Metallic liquid silicon at 1787K is investigated using x-ray Compton scattering. An excellent agreement found between the measurements and corresponding Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show persistence of covalent bonding in provide support for occurrence theoretically predicted liquid-liquid phase transition supercooled states. The population bond pairs estimated to be 17% via a maximally-localized Wannier function analysis. scattering shown sensitive probe effects state.
Structural models of sodium borosilicate glasses were prepared by means molecular dynamics (MD) technique using pair potentials over a wide compositional range. The local structures around B, O, and Si obtained from the structural compared with experimental 11B NMR, 17O 29Si NMR data. It was found that atomic arrangements in similar to results indicating simulations can reproduce chemical bonds real glasses. These confirm even if MD is quite simple, it enough capture essence amorphous...
A body shape index (ABSI) is an abdominal obesity developed based on epidemiological statistics and designed to correlate minimally with mass (BMI). We examined the approximation between ABSI other indices biophysical concepts. The cross-sectional data from 62,514 Japanese urban residents were analyzed. Body adiposity comprising BMI, waist circumference (WC), ABSI, conicity (CI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), WC/BMI examined. CI more strongly correlated age arterial stiffness assessed by...
Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 analogue may be useful for controlling weight recurrence and diabetes relapse after bariatric surgery, but also adversely affect the measured nutritional metrics. This study aimed to investigate effect of treatment with once-weekly semaglutide laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in patients type 2 (T2D). We examined effects combined use a low-energy, high-protein formula diet (FD).
Excision is the treatment of choice for choledochal cyst, and free bile drainage essential to avoid ascending cholangitis. However, anastomosis between relatively narrow common hepatic duct bowel (conventional anastomosis) in case type IV-A co-existing biliary anomalies anatomical variations may cause cholangitis resulting from insufficient decompression.One hundred four patients with cyst were treated by excision. Conventional was performed 22 hilar 82.An anastomotic stricture developed...
We aimed to investigate the effect of resveratrol (Rsv) on expression genes regulating triglyceride (TG) accumulation and consumption in differentiated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. preadipocytes were cultured DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. Upon reaching confluence, cells induced differentiate for 4 days, 10 days TG accumulation, then incubated Rsv (0, 25 or 50 μM) 3 days. was analyzed by Oil Red-O staining. To understand how regulates consumption, changes gene protein expressions...
