Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is an indoleamine originally identified in the pineal gland, where it synthesised enzymatically from serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) by sequential action of arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) and acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase (ASMT; also known as hydroxyindole O-methyltransferase). directly affects ovarian functions previous studies have suggested that melatonin ovary. In present study, we examined whether AANAT ASMT are expressed adult...
Regnase-1 (also known as Zc3h12a or MCPIP-1) is an endoribonuclease involved in mRNA degradation of inflammation-associated genes. inactivated response to external stimuli through post-translational modifications including phosphorylation, yet the precise role phosphorylation remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that interleukin (IL)-17 induces Act1-TBK1/IKKi–dependent manner, especially nonhematopoietic cells. Phosphorylated released from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into cytosol, thereby...
Abstract Objectives To efficiently detect somatic UBA1 variants and establish a clinical scoring system predicting patients with pathogenic in VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome. Methods Eighty-nine Japanese clinically suspected syndrome were recruited [81 males 8 females; median age of onset 69.3 years (interquartile range 62.1–77.6)]. Peptide nucleic acid–clamping PCR (PNA-PCR), regular targeting exon 3 clustering subsequent Sanger sequencing...
A chest tube is usually placed in the pleural cavity after wedge resection of lung, even thoracoscopic procedures. The aim this study was to determine validity and safety postoperative management without placement for patients undergoing lung.Between 1998 2002, 93 underwent lung. In January 2000, we established following criteria avoiding placement: (1) absence air leaks during intraoperative alternative sealing test, (2) bullous or emphysematous changes on inspection, (3) severe adhesions,...
T-helper cell type 1 (Th1) polarization in chronic immune thrombocytopenia (cITP) has been reported at the protein and mRNA levels. We evaluated impact of Th1/Th2 cytokine receptor functional polymorphisms on both susceptibility to, severity of, cITP. analysed IFN-γ + 874 T/A, IFN-γR -611G/A, IL-4 -590C/T, IL-4Rα Q576R 126 cITP patients (male/female: 34/92; median age: 47.7 years) 202 healthy control donors. Genotyping was determined by PCR direct sequencing. The ratio detected peripheral...

The feasibility of systematic node dissection (SND) for stage I primary lung cancer by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) remains controversial. aim this study was to assess the SND VATS.Four hundred and eleven patients with clinical were enrolled in study. Two twenty-one patients, VATS group, underwent a major pulmonary resection through minithoracotomy (30-70mm) two access ports; 190 open thoracotomy (OT) did so anterolateral thoracotomy. groups compared regarding data including number...
The effects of treatment with pitavastatin on inflammatory and platelet activation markers adiponectin in 117 patients hyperlipidemia were investigated to determine whether may prevent the progression atherosclerotic changes hyperlipidemic patients. Adiponectin levels prior without diabetes lower than normolipidemic controls. Both total cholesterol low-density lipoprotein decreased significantly after administration. Additionally, or type 2 exhibited a significant increase 6 months...
Abstract Aim: Taxanes are regarded as key chemotherapy agents for breast cancer and gynecologic malignancies; therefore the ovarian toxicity of paclitaxel (PTX) is a matter importance to younger women with malignancies. We examined PTX its influence on fertility in rats. Methods: Female Wistar rats aged 6–8 weeks received five doses at 3‐day intervals. Ovarian was assessed by counting follicles, corpora lutea atretic well detecting apoptosis measuring serum levels estradiol (E2) progesterone...
To compare the effects of switching from dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors to oral semaglutide on oxidative stress and glucose variability assessed by continuous monitoring in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This was an open-label, prospective, randomized, multicenter, parallel-group comparison study conducted over 24 weeks. Patients T2DM who had been taking regular doses DPP-4 for at least 12 weeks were enrolled. They randomly assigned either continue (DPP-4 inhibitor...
Empathy in general practice is important because it contributes to patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. However, few studies have examined the perceptions of empathy attending physicians, who are skilled medical practitioners. From perspective interpretive phenomenology, we conducted present study conceptualize practitioners, identify experiences that influenced these perceptions. We four semi-structured interviews with three board-certified The transcripts were analyzed using Steps...
Introduction Given Japan's cultural emphasis on group harmony, hierarchical relationships, and indirect communication, the study explores to what degree online Problem-Based Learning (PBL), which requires active participation self-directed learning, is suitable for Japanese medical students. This particularly important in fields such as child adolescent psychiatry, where effective communication collaborative problem-solving are essential. Method analyses data from students at Nagoya...
The purpose of the present study was to investigate an association between serum cholesterol levels and depressive state.Physical examinations mental assessments were performed for 13702 human dock visitors. We obtained 13571 sets complete data total cholesterol, scores state possible confounders such as sex, age, body weight, mass index (BMI), recent weight loss, protein concomitant medical diagnoses.Their varied significantly across after adjusting age gender. After controlling all above...
A prolactin cDNA was cloned from a expression library constructed total RNA of bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) adenohypophyses by immunoscreening with antiserum against prolactin. The clone thus obtained contained 249 bp insert. Using this as probe, plaque hybridizations were performed and two additional clones obtained. These had polyadenylation site different that the first clone, suggesting 3'-untranslated sequence heterogeneous in length. longest 830 bp, which encoded part signal peptide...
