Abstract Background and Aim Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. HCC patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) are at risk of muscle atrophy. We aimed to investigate the effects in‐hospital exercise on mass factors associated with hypertrophy TACE. Methods enrolled 209 Patients were classified into either an ( n = 102) or control 107) group. In group, treated (median 2.5 metabolic equivalents/20–40 min/day). The evaluated...
Three Lactobacillus -like strains, NB53 T , NB446 and NB702, were isolated from traditional fermented food in Thailand. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains belong to the plantarum group. Phylogenetic based on dnaK rpoA pheS recA sequences three distantly related known species present L. DNA–DNA hybridization with closely demonstrated represented two novel species; could be differentiated chemotaxonomic phenotypic characteristics. Therefore, of genus...
