| 1 | Compound Danshen injection improves endotoxin-induced microcirculatory disturbance in rat mesentery显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of compound Danshen injection on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced rat mesenteric microcirculatory dysfunctions and the underlying possible mechanism by an inverted intravital microscope and high-speed video camera system. METHODS: LPS was continuously infused through the jugular artery of male Wistar rats at the dose of 2 mg/kg per hour. Changes in mesenteric microcirculation,such as diameters of arterioles and venules,velocity of RBCs in venules,leukocyte rolling,adhesion and emigration,free radicals released from post-capillary venules,FITC- albumin leakage and mast cell degranulation,were observed through an inverted intravital microscope assisted with CCD camera and SIT camera. Meanwhile,the expression of adhesion molecules CD11b/CD18 and the production of free radical in neutrophils,and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were quantified by flow cytometry (FACS) in vitro. RESULTS: The continuous infusion with LPS resulted in a number of responses in microcirculation,including a significant increase in the positive region of venulestained with Monastral blue B,rolling and adhesion of leukocytes,production of oxygen radical in venular wall,albumin efflux and enhanced mast cell degranulation in vivo,all of which,except for the leukocyte rolling,were attenuated by the treatment with compound Danshen injection. Experiments performed in vitro further revealed that the expression of CD11b/CD18 and the production of oxygen free radical in neutrophils,and the expression of ICAM-1 in HUVECs were increased by exposure to LPS,and they were attenuated by compound Danshen injection. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that compound Danshen injection is an efficient drug with multi-targeting potential for improving the microcirculatory disturbance. | Jing-Yan Han Yoshinori Horie Soichiro Miura, Yasutada Akiba Jun Guo Dan Li Jing-Yu Fan Yu-Ying Liu Bai-He Hu Li-Hua An Xin Chang Man Xu De-An Guo Kai Sun Ji-Ying Yang Shu-Ping Fang Ming-Ji Xian Masahiro Kizaki Hiroshi Nagata Toshifumi Hibi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，26： | 26 |
| 2 | Gastric cancer risk in relation to tobacco use and alcohol drinking in Kerala, India-Karunagappally cohort study显示文摘AIM: To assess the risk of gastric cancer(GC) in relation to tobacco use and alcohol drinking in the Karunagappally cohort in Kerala, South India.METHODS: This study examined the association of tobacco use and alcohol drinking with GC incidence among 65553 men aged 30-84 in the Karunagappally cohort. During the period from 1990-2009, 116 GC cases in the cohort were identified as incident cancers. These cases were identified from the populationbased cancer registry. Information regarding risk factors such as socioeconomic factors and tobacco and alcohol habits of cohort members were collected from the database of the baseline survey conducted during 1990-1997. The relative risks(RRs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals(95%CIs) fortobacco use were obtained from Poisson regression analysis of grouped survival data, considering age, follow-up period, occupation and education.RESULTS: Bidi smoking was associated with GC risk(P = 0.042). The RR comparing current versus never smokers was 1.6(95%CI: 1.0-2.5). GC risk was associated with the number of bidis smoked daily(P = 0.012) and with the duration of bidi smoking(P = 0.036). Those who started bidi smoking at younger ages were at an elevated GC risk; the RRs for those starting bidi smoking under the age of 18 and ages 18-22 were 2.0(95%CI: 1.0-3.9) and 1.8(95%CI: 1.1-2.9), respectively, when their risks were compared with lifetime non-smokers of bidis. Bidi smoking increased the risk of GC among never cigarette smokers more evidently(RR = 2.2; 95%CI: 1.3-4.0). GC risk increased with the cumulative amount of bidi smoking, which was calculated as the number of bidis smoked per day x years of smoking(bidi-year; P = 0.017). Cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing or alcohol drinking was not significantly associated with GC risk. CONCLUSION: Among a male cohort in South India, gastric cancer risk increased with the number and duration of bidi smoking. | Padmavathy Amma Jayalekshmi Soroush Hassani Athira Nandakumar Chihaya Koriyama Paul Sebastian Suminori Akiba | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，44： | 19 |
| 3 | Intraductal neoplasm of the intrahepatic bile duct: Clinicopathological study of 24 cases显示文摘AIM: To investigate the clinicopathological features of intraductal neoplasm of the intrahepatic bile duct (INihB). METHODS: Clinicopathological features of 24 cases of INihB, which were previously diagnosed as biliary papillomatosis or intraductal growth of intrahepatic biliary neoplasm, were reviewed. Mucin immunohistochemistry was performed for mucin (MUC)1, MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC6. Ki-67, P53 and β-catenin immunoreactivity were also examined. We categorized each tumor as adenoma (low grade), borderline (intermediate grade), and malignant (carcinoma in situ , high grade including tumors with microinvasion). RESULTS: Among 24 cases of INihB, we identified 24 tumors. Twenty of 24 tumors (83%) were composed of a papillary structure; the same feature observed in intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB). In contrast, the remaining four tumors (17%) showed both tubular and papillary structures. In three of the four tumors (75%), macroscopic mucin secretion was limited but microscopic intracellular mucin was evident. Histologically, 16 tumors (67%) were malignant, three (12%) were borderline, and five (21%) were adenoma. Microinvasion was found in four cases (17%). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that MUC1 was not expressed in the borderline/adenoma group but was expressed only in malignant lesions (P = 0.0095). Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was significantly higher in the malignant group than in the borderline/adenoma group (22.2 ± 15.5 vs 7.5 ± 6.3, P < 0.01). In the 16 malignant cases, expression of MUC5AC showed borderline significant association with high Ki-67 LI (P = 0.0622). Nuclear expression of β-catenin was observed in two (8%) of the 24 tumors, and these two tumors also showed MUC1 expression. P53 was negative in all tumors. CONCLUSION: Some cases of INihB have a tubular structure, and are subcategorized as IPNB with tubular structure. MUC1 expression in INihB correlates positively with degree of malignancy. | Yoshiki Naito Hironori Kusano Osamu Nakashima Eiji Sadashima Satoshi Hattori Tomoki Taira Akihiko Kawahara Yoshinobu Okabe Kazuhide Shimamatsu Jun Taguchi Seiya Momosaki Koji Irie Rin Yamaguchi Hiroshi Yokomizo Michiko Nagamine Seiji Fukuda Shinichi Sugiyama Naoyo Nishida Koichi Higaki Munehiro Yoshitomi Masafumi Yasunaga Koji Okuda Hisafumi Kinoshita Masayoshi Kage Masamichi Nakayama Makiko Yasumoto Jun Akiba Hirohisa Yano | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，28： | 16 |
| 4 | Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma: Evidence of age-dependence among a Mexican population显示文摘AIM: To investigate features of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric carcinoma (EBVaGC) among a Mexican population.METHODS: Cases of primary gastric adenocarcinoma were retrieved from the files of the Departments of anatomic site of the gastric neoplasia was identified, and carcinomas were histologically classified as intestinal and diffuse types and subclassified as proposed by the Japanese Research Society for Gastric Cancer. EBV-encoded small non-polyadenylated RNA-1 (EBER-1)in situ hybridization was conducted to determine the presence of EBV in neoplastic cells.RESULTS: We studied 330 consecutive, non-selected,primary gastric carcinomas. Among these, there were173 male and 157 female patients (male/female ratio1.1/1). EBER-1 was detected in 24 (7.3%) cases (male/female ratio: 1.2/1). The mean age for the entire group was 58.1 years (range: 20-88 years), whereas the mean age for patients harboring EBER-1-positive gastric carcinomas was 65.3 years (range: 50-84 years). Age and histological type showed statistically significant differences, when EBER-1-positive and -negative gastric carcinomas were compared. EBER-1 was detected in hyperplastic- and dysplastic-gastric mucosa surrounding two EBER-1-negative carcinomas, respectively.CONCLUSION: Among Latin-American countries, Mexico has the lowest frequency of EBVaGC. Indeed, the Mexican population >50 years of age was selectively affected. Ethnic variations are responsible for the epidemiologic behavior of EBVaGC among the worldwide population. | Roberto Herrera-Goepfert Suminori Akiba Chihaya Koriyama Shan Ding Edgardo Reyes Tetsuhiko Itoh Yoshie Minakami Yoshito Eizuru | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，39： | 14 |
| 5 | Risk factors of gastric cancer specific for tumor location and histology in Cali,Colombia显示文摘AIM: To examine histology- and tumor-location specific risk factors of gastric cancer (GC). METHODS: This was a case-control study. The study subjects were 216 GC patients newly diagnosed during the period 2000-2002 and 431 controls selected from non-cancer patients matching in age, gender, and hospital. We obtained information on lifestyles, dietary habits, and others by a questionnaire. RESULTS: The subjects who were not eldest among his/her siblings were at a slightly elevated GC risk (OR 1.3; 95% CI 0.8-2.0). Salting meals before tasting was related to an increased GC risk (OR 3.5; 95% CI 1.6- 7.3). Frequent consumptions of fruits (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.1-1.0) and vegetables (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.1-1.0) were related to decreased GC risks. On the other hand, frying foods (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.0-3.6) and cooking with coal (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.3-2.6) were related to increased GC risks. Neither Lauren’s histological classification (intestinal and diffuse types) nor tumor location significantly affected those associations except birth order. The subjects who were not eldest among his/her siblings had an increased risk of GCs in the distal and middle thirds, and their ORs were 1.7 (95% CI 1.0-2.8) and 1.9 (95% CI 0.8-4.3), respectively. The corresponding OR in the upper third stomach was 0.3 (95% CI 0.1-0.9). The differences of those three ORs were statistically significant (P = 0.010). CONCLUSION: The present study shows that birth or- der, salt intake, consumption of fruits and vegetables, the type of cooking, and cigarette smoking are related to GC risk. In histology and tumor-location specific analy- ses, non-eldest person among their siblings is related to an increased GC risk in the distal and middle thirds of the stomach, and is related to a decreased GC risk in the cardia. | Francia Campos Gabriel Carrasquilla Chihaya Koriyama Mauricio Serra Edwin Carrascal Tetsuhiko Itoh Mitsuharu Nomoto Suminori Akiba | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006，12，36： | 11 |
| 6 | Human papillomavirus in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Colombia and Chile显示文摘AIM: To examine the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) specimens collected from Colombia and Chile located in the northern and southern ends of the continent, respectively. METHODS: We examined 47 and 26 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded ESCC specimens from Colombia and Chile, respectively. HPV was detected using GP5+/GP6+ primer pair for PCR, and confirmed by Southern blot analysis. Sequencing analysis of L1 region fragment was used to identify HPV genotype. In addition, P16INK4A protein immunostaining of all the specimens was conducted. RESULTS: HPV was detected in 21 ESCC specimens (29%). Sequencing analysis of L1 region fragment identified HPV-16 genome in 6 Colombian cases(13%) and in 5 Chilean cases (19%). HPV-18 was detected in 10 cases (21%) in Colombia but not in any Chilean case. Since Chilean ESCC cases had a higher prevalence of HPV-16 (without statistical significance), but a significantly lower prevalence of HPV-18 than in Colombian cases (P = 0.011) even though the two countries have similar ESCC incidence rates, the frequency of HPV-related ESCC may not be strongly affected by risk factors affecting the incidence of ESCC. HPV-16 genome was more frequently detected in p16 positive carcinomas, although the difference was not statistically significant. HPV-18 detection rate did not show any association with p16 expression. Well-differentiated tumors tended to have either HPV-16 or HPV-18 but the association was not statistically significant. HPV genotypes other than HPV-16 or 18 were not detected in either country. CONCLUSION: HPV-16 and HPV-18 genotypes can be found in ESCC specimens collected from two South American countries. Further studies on the relationship between HPV-16 presence and p16 expression in ESCC would aid understanding of the mechanism underlying the presence of HPV in ESCC. | Andres Castillo Francisco Aguayo Chihaya Koriyama Miyerlandi Torres Edwin Carrascal Alejandro Corvalan Juan P Roblero Cecilia Naquira Mariana Palma Claudia Backhouse Jorge Argandona Tetsuhiko Itoh Karem Shuyama Yoshito Eizuru Suminori Akiba | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006，12，38： | 11 |

Finally, new perspectives for utilization of metal hydrides in other applications will be reviewed. | Kasper T.Moller Torben R.Jensen Etsuo Akiba Hai-wen Li | 2017 | Progress in Natural Science:Materials International2017，27，1： | 10 |
| 8 | Diagnosis of early gastric cancer using narrow band imaging and acetic acid显示文摘AIM: To determine whether the endoscopic findings of depressed-type early gastric cancers(EGCs) could precisely predict the histological type.METHODS: Ninety depressed-type EGCs in 72 patients were macroscopically and histologically identified. We evaluated the microvascular(MV) and mucosal surface(MS) patterns of depressed-type EGCs using magnifying endoscopy(ME) with narrow-band imaging(NBI)(NBI-ME) and ME enhanced by 1.5% acetic acid, respectively. First, depressed-type EGCs were classified according to MV pattern by NBI-ME. Subsequently, EGCs unclassified by MV pattern were classified according to MS pattern by enhanced ME(EME) images obtained from the same angle.RESULTS: We classified the depressed-type EGCs into the following 2 MV patterns using NBI-ME: a fine-network pattern that indicated differentiated adenocarcinoma(25/25, 100%) and a corkscrew pattern that likely indicated undifferentiated adenocarcinoma(18/23, 78.3%). However, 42 of the 90(46.7%) lesions could not be classified into MV patterns by NBI-ME. These unclassified lesions were then evaluated for MS patterns using EME, which classified 33(81.0%) lesions as MS patterns, diagnosed as differentiated adenocarcinoma. As a result, 76 of the 90(84.4%) lesions were matched with histological diagnoses using a combination of NBI-ME and EME.CONCLUSION: A combination of NBI-ME and EME was useful in predicting the histological type of depressedtype EGC. | Ken Matsuo Hidetoshi Takedatsu Michita Mukasa Hiroaki Sumie Hikaru Yoshida Yasutomo Watanabe Jun Akiba Keita Nakahara Osamu Tsuruta Takuji Torimura | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，4： | 9 |
| 9 | E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression in Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinoma and their prognostic significance显示文摘AIM: To examine the role of E-cadherin and beta- catenin in carcinogenesis and to assess their prognostic implication in Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric carcinomas (EBV-GCs). METHODS: We compared the frequency of E-cadherin and beta-catenin expression in 59 EBV-GCs and 120 non-EBV-GCs, and examined the association between patients' prognosis and the expressions of these proteins. RESULTS: Neither the cellular-membranous nor the cytoplasmic E-cadherin expression showed any difference between EBV-GCs and non-EBV-GCs. On the other hand, loss of membranous expression of beta- catenin occurred more frequently in non-EBV-GCs than EBV-GCs [odds ratio = 0.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.19-0.90]. Furthermore, the nuclear and/or cytoplosmic expression of beta-catenin was seen more frequentlyin EBV-GCs than non-EBV-GCs (odds ratio = 2.23; 95% CI, 0.97-5.09), and was observed in a larger proportion of carcinoma cells of EBV-GCs than non-EBV-GCs (P = 0.024). Survival analysis for non-EBV-GC revealed that lymph node metastasis was significantly associated with poor prognosis (P < 0.001). Among EBV- GCs, the depth of invasion (P = 0.005), lymph node metastasis (P = 0.004) and an intestinal type by Lauren classification (hazard ratio = 9.47; 95% CI, 2.67-33.6) were significantly associated with poor prognosis. On the other hand, nuclear and/or cytoplasmic expression of beta-catenin was associated with a better prognosis in patients with EBV-GC (hazard ratio = 0.32; 95% CI, 0.11-0.93). CONCLUSION: We observed more frequent preservation of beta-catenin in cell membrane and accumulation in nuclei and/or cytoplasm in EBV-GCs than in non-EBV- GCs. Factors involved in the prognosis of EBV-GCs and non-EBV-GCs are different in the two conditions. | Chihaya Koriyama Suminori Akiba Tetsuhiko Itoh Kazunobu Sueyoshi Yoshie Minakami Alejandro Corvalan Suguru Yonezawa Yoshito Eizuru | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，29： | 6 |
| 10 | Human papilloma virus and esophageal carcinoma in a Latin-American region显示文摘AIM:To investigate the presence of high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) in a non-selected Mexican population.METHODS: Cases with a pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were obtained from Department of Pathology files, at the National Cancer Institute in Mexico City during the period between 2000 and 2008. Slides from each case were reviewed and cases with sufficient neoplastic tissue were selected for molecular analysis. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue samples for polymerase chain reaction analysis to detect HPV DNA sequences. Demographic and clinical data of each patient were retrieved from corresponding clinical records.RESULTS: HPV was detected in 15 (25%) of ESCCs. HPV-16 was the most frequently observed genotype, followed by HPV-18; HPV-59 was also detected in one case. Unfortunately, HPV genotype could not be established in three cases due to lack of material for direct sequencing, although universal primers detected the presence of HPV generic sequences. No low-risk HPV genotypes were found nor was HPV-16/18 co-infection. HPV presence in ESCC was not significantly associated with gender, age, alcohol consumption, smoking, anatomic location, or histologic grade. All patients belonged to low and very low socioeconomic strata, and were diagnosed at advanced disease stage. Male patients were most commonly affected and the male:female ratio in HPV-positive ESCC increased two- fold in comparison with HPV-negative cases (6.5:1 vs 3.1:1).CONCLUSION: High prevalence of high-risk HPV in ESCC in Mexico does not support the hypothesis that HPV-associated ESCC is more common in areas with higher ESCC incidence rates. | Roberto Herrera-Goepfert Marcela Lizano Suminori Akiba Adela Carrillo-García Mauricio Becker-D'Acosta | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，25： | 4 |
| 11 | Prediction of colorectal tumor grade and invasion depth through narrow-band imaging scoring显示文摘AIM To determine the usefulness of assigning narrow-band imaging(NBI) scores for predicting tumor grade and invasion depth in colorectal tumors.METHODS A total of 161 colorectal lesions were analyzed from138 patients who underwent endoscopic or surgical resection after conventional colonoscopy and magnifying endoscopy with NBI. The relationships between the surface and vascular patterns of the lesions, as visualized with NBI, and the tumor grade and depth of submucosa(SM) invasion were determined histopathologically.Scores were assigned to distinct features of the surface microstructures of tubular and papillary-type lesions.Using a multivariate analysis, a model was developed for predicting the tumor grade and depth of invasion based on NBI-finding scores.RESULTS NBI findings that correlated with a high tumor grade were associated with the 'regular/irregular'(P < 0.0001)surface patterns and the 'avascular area' pattern(P =0.0600). The vascular patterns of 'disrupted vessels'(P = 0.0714) and 'thick vessels'(P = 0.0133) but none of the surface patterns were associated with a depth of invasion of ≥ 1000 μm. In our model, a total NBIfinding score ≥ 1 was indicative of a high tumor grade(sensitivity: 0.97; specificity: 0.24), and a total NBIfinding score ≥ 9(sensitivity: 0.56; specificity: 1.0) was predictive of a SM invasion depth ≥ 1000 μm. Scores less than these cutoff values signified adenomas and a SM invasion depth < 1000 μm, respectively. Associations were also noted between selected NBI findings and tumor tissue architecture and histopathology.CONCLUSION Our multivariate statistical model for predicting tumor grades and invasion depths from NBI-finding scores may help standardize the diagnosis of colorectal lesions and inform therapeutic strategies. | Yasuhiko Maeyama Keiichi Mitsuyama Tetsuhiro Noda Shiuchiro Nagata Tsutomu Nagata Shinichiro Yoshioka Hikaru Yoshida Michita Mukasa Hiroaki Sumie Hiroshi Kawano Jun Akiba Yuko Araki Tatsuyuki Kakuma Osamu Tsuruta Takuji Torimura | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，42： | 4 |
| 12 | Endoscopic submucosal dissection of a rectal carcinoid tumor using grasping type scissors forceps显示文摘Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with a knife is a technically demanding procedure associated with a high complication rate. The shortcomings of this method are the inability to fix the knife to the target lesion, and compression of the lesion. These can lead to major complications such as perforation and bleeding. To reduce the risk of complications related to ESD, we developed a new grasping type scissors forceps (GSF), which can grasp and incise the targeted tissue using electrosurgical current. Colonoscopy on a 55-year-old woman revealed a 10-mm rectal submucosal nodule. The histological diagnosis of the specimen obtained by biopsy was carcinoid tumor. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a hypoechoic solid tumor limited to the submucosa without lymph node involvement. It was safely and accurately resected without unexpected incision by ESD using a GSF. No delayed hemorrhage or perforation occurred. Histological examination confirmed the carcinoid tumor was completely excised with negative resection margin. | Kazuya Akahoshi Yasuaki Motomura Masaru Kubokawa Noriaki Matsui Manami Oda Risa Okamoto Shingo Endo Naomi Higuchi Yumi Kashiwabara Masafumi Oya Hidefumi Akahane Haruo Akiba | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，17： | 4 |
| 13 | Perspectives and challenges of hydrogen storage in solid-state hydrides显示文摘Hydrogen has been widely considered as a clean energy carrier that bridges the energy producers and energy consumers in an efficient and safe way for a sustainable society.Hydrogen can be stored in a gas,liquid and solid states and each method has its unique advantage.Though compressed hydrogen and liquefied hydrogen are mature technologies for industrial applications,appropriate measures are necessary to deal with the issues at high pressure up to around 100 MPa and low temperature at around 20 K.Distinct from those technologies,storing hydrogen in solid-state hydrides can realize a more compact and much safer approach that does not require high hydrogen pressure and cryogenic temperature.In this review,we will provide an overview of the majormaterial groups that are capable of absorbing and desorbing hydrogen reversibly.The main features on hydrogen storage properties of each material group are summarized,together with the discussion of the key issues and the guidance of materials design,aiming at providing insights for new material development as well as industrial applications. | Zhen Chen Zhongliang Ma Jie Zheng Xingguo Li Etsuo Akiba Hai-Wen Li | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2021，34，1： | 4 |

| 15 | Impact of RAS and BRAF mutations on carcinoembryonic antigen production and pattern of colorectal metastases显示文摘AIM: To investigate the impact of RAS and BRAF mutations on the pattern of metastatic disease and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) production.METHODS: In this retrospective study, we investigated the impact of RAS and BRAF mutational status on pattern of metastatic disease and CEA production. Only patients presenting with a newly diagnosed metastatic colorectal cancer(CRC) were included. Patients' characteristics, primary tumor location, site of metastatic disease and CEA at presentation were compared between those with and without RAS and BRAF mutations.RESULTS: Among 174 patients, mutations in KRAS, NRAS and BRAF were detected in 47%, 3% and 6% respectively. RAS mutations(KRAS and NRAS) were more likely to be found in African American patients(87% vs 13%; P value = 0.0158). RAS mutations were associated with a higher likelihood of a normal CEA(< 5 ng/mL) at presentation. BRAF mutations were more likely to occur in females. We were not able to confirm any association between mutational status and site of metastatic disease at initial diagnosis.CONCLUSION: No association was found between RAS and BRAF mutations and sites of metastatic disease at the time of initial diagnosis in our cohort. Patients with RAS mutations were more likely to present with CEA levels < 5 ng/mL. These findings may have clinical implications on surveillance strategies for RAS mutant patients with earlier stages of CRC. | may cho chie akiba cecilia lau david smith milhan telatar michelle afkhami stephen sentovich kurt melstrom marwan fakih | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016，8，1： | 3 |
| 16 | On the Pressure Drop and the Velocity Distribution in the Cylindrical Vortex Chamber with Two Inlet Pipes for the Control of Vortex Flow显示文摘Vortex flow is applied to a cyclone dust collector, a vortex combustion chamber, and a vortex diode for vortex control. In order to apply the vortex flow to the industries, it is necessary to keep the stable flow condition and to estimate the response time of the transient flow process and also the intensity of the vortex flow. For control vortex flow, two types of vortex chamber with two inlet pipes were designed. One of them is to promote the vortex flow named as Co-Rotating Flow System and another one is to hinder the vortex flow named as Counter-Rotating Flow System. The pressure drops and the velocity distributions were measured for these vortex chambers. The estimation of the tangential velocity by the application of the angular momentum flux is compared with the measured velocity by a cylindrical Pitot-tube. The characteristics of the total pressure drop could be explained by introducing the circulation. | Akira OGAWA Tutomu OONO Hayato OKABE Noriaki AKIBA Taketo OOYAGI | 2005 | Journal of Thermal Science2005，14，2： | 3 |

| 20 | STAT3 deficiency prevents hepatocarcinogenesis and promotes biliary proliferation in thioacetamide-induced liver injury显示文摘AIM To elucidate the role of STAT3 in hepatocarcinogenesis and biliary ductular proliferation following chronic liver injury. METHODS We investigated thioacetamide(TAA)-induced liver injury, compensatory hepatocyte proliferation, and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) development in hepatic STAT3-deficient mice. In addition, we evaluated TAAinduced biliary ductular proliferation and analyzed the activation of sex determining region Y-box9(SOX9) and Yes-associated protein(YAP), which regulate the transdifferentiation of hepatocytes to cholangiocytes.RESULTS Both compensatory hepatocyte proliferation and HCC formation were significantly decreased in hepatic STAT3-deficient mice as compared with control mice. STAT3 deficiency resulted in augmentation of hepatic necrosis and fibrosis. On the other hand, biliary ductular proliferation increased in hepatic STAT3-deficient livers as compared with control livers. SOX9 and YAP were upregulated in hepatic STAT3-deficient hepatocytes.CONCLUSION STAT3 may regulate hepatocyte proliferation as well as transdifferentiation into cholangiocytes and serve as a therapeutic target for HCC inhibition and biliary regeneration. | Mitsuhiko Abe Takafumi Yoshida Jun Akiba Yu Ikezono Fumitaka Wada Atsutaka Masuda Takahiko Sakaue Toshimitsu Tanaka Hideki Iwamoto Toru Nakamura Michio Sata Hironori Koga Akihiko Yoshimura Takuji Torimura | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，37： | 2 |
