Liver atrophy is frequently found at autopsy of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). Imaging studies in patients with FHF demonstrate that estimation of total liver volume correlates with prognosis. In this study, in order to determine serum markers for evaluating liver atrophy, we
The pattern of lectin histochemistry in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded normal jejunal and subtotal villous atrophy specimens from patients with gluten sensitive enteropathy were compared. There was no significant difference in the binding pattern of five lectins (Arachis hypogaea, Canavalia

OBJECTIVE
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of AFP (AFP-L3), and Golgi protein 73 (GP73) levels have been widely used as tumor markers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate whether these tumor markers could be
Phagocytosis in the rat retina is a process which involves uptake of shed photoreceptor outer segments by the overlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In rats with inherited retinal degeneration, there is a defect in phagocytosis. One aspect of this phagocytic defect may be an alteration in
Alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) is an indispensable examination in the management of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor. However, many liver diseases also frequently show the elevation of AFP. Therefore, it is essential to discriminate between yolk sac-derived component and liver-derived one. A 32-year-old
Two serology-based scoring models for prognostication of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the BALAD and BALAD-2 models, were applied to a Japanese cohort of a nationwide follow-up survey of HCC. The ability of these models to predict the progression of HCC and the deterioration of liver
