Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common neoplasms and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) an effective treatment for early-stage CRC. However, it has been observed that patients undergoing ESD often complain pain, even if successfully performed. Risk factors such pain still remain unknown. The aim this study was to explore risk post-colorectal coagulation syndrome (PECS).This a prospective multicenter observational trial (UMIN000016781) conducted in 106 223 who underwent between...
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious that leads to severe respiratory failure (RF). It known host exposure viral infection triggers iron-lowering response mitigate pathogenic load and tissue damage. However, the association between COVID-19 severity not clear. This two-center observational study of 136 adult hospitalized patients analyzed initial serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels. Serum iron levels were...

Spectroscopic and photochemical studies of several benzoyl-functionalized ferrocene complexes in nonaqueous solvents are reported. Bands observed above 300 nm the electronic absorption spectrum unsubstituted complex, Fe(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2), assigned to ligand field transitions shift longer wavelengths intensify upon introduction a benzoyl group into one or both cyclopentadienide rings. Such behavior suggests that these have acquired some charge-transfer character. Visible-light (546 nm)...
The mechanisms by which short-term ethanol administration alters pancreatic exocrine function are unknown. We have evaluated the effects of on secretion digestive enzymes. In our studies, anesthetized as well conscious rats were given at a rate sufficient to cause blood concentration reach levels associated with clinical intoxication. Ethanol was administered over 2-h period during remained stably elevated. report that intravenous results in transient increase amylase output and plasma...
Infusion of a supramaximally stimulating dose the pancreatic secretagogue caerulein (10 micrograms.kg-1.h-1) for 4 h induces interstitial edematous acute pancreatitis in rats. This model is associated with evidence lung injury, including sequestered neutrophils within pulmonary microvasculature, increased microvascular permeability, and edema. prostaglandin E1 (PGE1; 50 ng.kg-1.min-1) along does not alter severity secretagogue-induced pancreatitis, but it reduce pancreatitis-associated...
Spectroscopic, photochemical, and photoinitiation studies are reported for a series of monobenzoylferrocenes 1,1'-dibenzoylferrocenes. These nonionic metallocene complexes absorb strongly in the ultraviolet visible wavelength regions owing to electronic transitions mixed ligand field/charge-transfer character. Irradiation methanol results ring−metal cleavage yield benzoyl-substituted cyclopentadienide carbanion corresponding half-sandwich iron(II) complex. This process occurs with an...
When 21 species of sea anemones were screened for Kv1 potassium channel toxins by competitive inhibition the binding 125I-α-dendrotoxin to rat synaptosomal membranes, 11 (two Actiniidae, one Hormathiidae, five Stichodactylidae and three Thalassianthidae) found be positive. Furthermore, full-length cDNAs encoding type 1 from Thalassianthidae cloned a combination RT-PCR, 3′RACE 5′RACE. The precursors these six are commonly composed signal peptide, propart mature peptide portions. As (35 amino...

The factors that determine the severity of acute pancreatitis are unknown, but a close inverse correlation between and extent acinar cell apoptosis follows triggering signal has been previously noted [A. M. Kaiser, A. K. Saluja, Sengupta, L. Steer. Am. J. Physiol. 269 (Cell 38): C1295-C1304, 1995]. In present studies, we have evaluated internucleosomal DNA fragmentation within pancreas effects inhibiting protein synthesis by cycloheximide (CHX) on these phenomena as well pancreatitis. We...
Immediately after the 2011 off Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, special safety inspections were carried out at over 300 dams in affected area. Damage was identified more than 10% inspected dams, with embankment showing a slightly higher ratio. to included relatively wide and/or long cracks mainly on crest earthfill impervious membrane asphalt faced rockfill (AFRDs) and temporary increase leakage. However, none under jurisdiction Ministry Land, Infrastructure, Transport Tourism (MLIT)...
BACKGROUND: Studies have compared sealing effects of the newly developed tapered endotracheal tube cuff with conventional cylindrical cuff. In this study, we difference between cuffs regard to increase in intracuff pressure during nitrous oxide (N2O) exposure. METHODS: Two types were studied using a model trachea connected mechanical test lung: high-volume, low-pressure (Mallinckrodt Hi-LoTM, Covidien, Dublin, Ireland) and TaperGuardTM, Covidien). The was set at 20 cm H2O, measured...
Background: Airway management for nonelective surgical procedures in the setting of trauma, pain, and opioid use can be complicated by potential aspiration due to delayed gastric emptying. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) remains a useful tool evaluating content volume various clinical settings. The authors evaluated children scheduled urgent semi-urgent assess their risk. Methods: After obtaining consent, POCUS was performed preoperative holding area pediatric patients both elective...
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques require effective lung isolation using one-lung ventilation (OLV). Verification of may be confirmed by auscultation, visual confirmation fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), or more recently, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). The aim this study was to prospectively compare with clinical auscultation confirm OLV before surgery in pediatric patients. METHODS: This blinded feasibility included 40 patients ranging age from 0 20 years. After...

近年わが国においては, 少なからずのダムサイトが軟岩, 軟弱岩あるいは砂礫層によって構成されている。これらのダム基礎は強度が小さいため, 設計時にその浸透破壊特性を評価する必要がある。筆者らは, 室内および原位置浸透破壊試験を用いて, ダム基礎の浸透破壊特性を精度よくかつ効率的に評価するための精力的な研究を行ってきた。しかし, ダム基礎は通常多くの種類の地層, 岩あるいは土にて構成されるため, 相対的に安価な室内浸透破壊試験を用いても, 浸透破壊特性の評価には多大な時間と費用を要する。いま, 土や軟岩の浸透破壊特性の簡易評価試験を見いだすことができれば, この試験による概略評価を行うことで室内および原位置浸透破壊試験の効率的な実施が可能となる。針貫入試験, ピック貫入試験および洗掘抵抗試験といった3種類の簡易試験のほか一軸圧縮試験, 室内浸透破壊試験を第四紀更新世の火砕流堆積物, 降下火砕物などの32種類の土および軟岩に対して実施した。その結果を詳細に分析することにより, 浸透破壊特性の簡易で間接的な評価の可能性について考察した。
