Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a popular and well-established devascularization treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The persistent retention of lipiodol on follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan and time-dependent decrease in size of the lipiodol-stained area of
Changes in serum levels of tumor-specific fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP) aldolase and nontumor-specific fructose 1-phosphate (F1P) aldolase activities were analyzed in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) to detect the damage of tumorous and nontumorous hepatic cells after percutaneous
A solid-phase, noncompetitive radioimmunoassay has been developed for aldolase B in human serum and tissues. Aldolase B was purified from human liver, and specific antisera to purified aldolase B were obtained from chickens. Specific antihuman aldolase B IgG was purified by affinity chromatography.
We studied the rates of the patient with the elevation of serum creatine kinase using the routine medical checkup data from KANEMI YUSHOU patients between 1995 and 2001. We also studied the serum aldolase level and light microscopic observation of muscle tissue in rats during strenuous exercise
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are known to induce autoimmune diseases, such as lupus-like syndrome; in rare cases, TNF inhibitor-induced myositis has been reported. This report documents the case of a male patient with ulcerative colitis (UC) complicated by TNF inhibitor-induced myositis.
FL83B mouse hepatocytes were treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) to induce insulin resistance to investigate the effect of a wax apple aqueous extract (WAE) in insulin-resistant mouse hepatocytes. The uptake of 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxyglucose (2 NBDG), a
Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) is a major pathogen worldwide. The currently available polysaccharide-based vaccines significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. However, the inherent disadvantages of the currently available polysaccharide-based vaccines have motivated the search for other
A wide spectrum of muscle disorders caused by Coxsackie B virus, ranging from acute nonspecific myalgia to rhabdomyolisis have been described. Arthritis in not widely recognised as an either manifestation of Coxsackie virus infection, and only ten patients has been reported previously. A case of
Effects of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (F-1,6-P2) towards N-methyl-d-aspartate NMDA excitotoxicity were evaluated in rat organotypic hippocampal brain slice cultures (OHSC) challenged for 3 h with 30 μM NMDA, followed by incubations (24, 48, and 72 h) without (controls) and with F-1,6-P2 (0.5,
It is well known the effects of the vascular wall on platelet activity but little is known about the effects of platelets on the proteins expression in the vascular wall. We analyzed whether platelets may modify the protein expression in the vascular wall. We used an in vitro model coincubating
An increased frequency of diffuse interstitial lung disease (DILD) was found in 7 of 15 cases of polymyositis and dermatomyositis seen in a 7-yr period. Affected patients had higher values of creatine phosphokinase and aldolase and more severe muscle necrosis than 8 patients with DILD. Early
Membrane-mediated excessive intracellular calcium accumulation (EICA) is a fundamental pathogenetic event associated with chronic muscle degeneration in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and in animals with hereditary muscular dystrophy (HMD). Because of potential Ca(2+)-channel
Case 1. A 23-year-old white housewife presented with an erythematous violaceous rash on her face, neck, chest, and limbs, particularly over the dorsum of the hands and fingers; diffuse alopecia; and an inability to climb stairs and get up from a low seat. The clinical examination showed red to
