CT angiography has gained widespread acceptance for preoperative evaluation of blood supply in patients with colorectal cancer. However, there have been few reports that pertain to the splenic flexure, which surgery is technically difficult. We used and colonography evaluate flexure.We defined flexure as junction distal third transverse colon proximal descending colon. reviewed 191 cases considered divided into two-thirds; we then determined part left colic artery (LCA) entered. also...
Although most bile acids (BAs) in feces are present noncovalent forms that can be extracted with ethanol, non-negligible amounts of saponifiable BAs also present. It is a major concern such routinely omitted from fecal BA measurements. We compared the profiles healthy stools were obtained with/without alkaline hydrolysis and found as much 29.7% (2.1-67.7%) total saponifiable. Specifically, treatment led to significant elevations isodeoxycholic acid (isoDCA) isolithocholic (isoLCA)...
Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy has shown salient efficacy in cancer immunotherapy, particularly the treatment of B malignancies. However, CAR‐T for solid tumors remains inadequate. In this study, we displayed that c‐met is an appropriate therapeutic target papillary renal carcinoma (PRCC) using clinical samples, developed anti‐human cells, and investigated anti‐tumor cells orthotopic mouse model as pre‐clinical research. Administration anti‐c‐met induced marked...

One of the reasons for such hurdle is a lack suitable CAR targets cancers.

The phase structure of two-flavor QCD is explored for thermal systems with finite baryon- and isospin-chemical potentials, ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{B}}$ ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{iso}}$, by using the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. PNJL model scalar-type eight-quark interaction can reproduce lattice data at not only ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{iso}}={\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{B}}=0$, but also ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{\mathrm{iso}}>0$...

In this cohort study, we investigated whether or not Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) affects conversion rate patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer.

Theta vacuum effects on the QCD phase structure in \mu-T plane are studied by using Polyakov-loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and its extension, where \mu is quark chemical potential T temperature, respectively. As parameter \theta of theta increases, chiral transition becomes stronger. For large \theta, it eventually first order even at zero \mu.
