Abstract The factors contributing to the prognosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐ related chronic liver disease were assessed prospectively in 72 patients with chronic hepatitis B confirmed clinically and pathologically. A comparative study was undertaken between patients infected with genotype B and those with genotype C. During the follow‐up period, 13 (81.3%) of 16 patients with genotype B who were initially hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive became HBeAg negative and 14 (51.9%) of 27 with genotype ...

Two rare cases of multiple neoplasms occurring in association with anomalous arrangement of the pancreatobiliary duct system (PBD) are reported. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography revealed cholecystic tumor in the first case, and multiple choledochocholecystic tumors in the second case. In the first case, pancreatic tumor was discovered two years after cholecystectomy. In the second case, a pancreatic tumor was discovered incidentally in the removed ...

The proper method of evaluating liver weight changes resulting from the primary toxic effect of a chemical was studied. We used a pair-feeding method with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a chemical known to cause an increase in liver weight. Male rats were assigned to an untreated control group, CCl4-treated groups (daily dose of 10 μl or 50 μl of CCl4 in olive oil/100 g body wt), olive oil-treated plus feed-restricted groups, and feed-restricted groups. In the 2 types of feed-restricted groups the body ...

Abstract Shedding of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV‐1) into saliva was studied in 83 patients with orofacial fractures. Infectious virus was isolated from 14 of 83 patients (16.8%) with no detectable herpetic lesion during hospitalization. Of the 83 patients, 44 (53%) had HSV‐1 specific antibody. Virus shedding into saliva was observed only in the patients with antibody to HSV‐1; thus, the frequency of virus shedding patients among those with antibody was 31% (14 of 44 patients). The frequency was ...

An evaluation of thirty-four bufadienolides and two related cardenolides against a series of rhinoviruses in vitro has been completed. Most of the bufadienolides were found to display some inhibitory activity. Scillarenin and 3-O-[N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazido]succinylbufalin were found to be the most active with chemotherapeutic indices of 32 and 16, respectively. In general, the 14β-hydroxy-bufadienolides showed the strongest antiviral activity, and were found more toxic than the corresponding ...

Rainfall interception (RI) over an outdoor urban‐scale model was investigated from the perspectives of water and energy balance. On average, RI was 6% of the gross rainfall and smaller than typical values in forests. No correlation was found between RI and gross rainfall or rainfall duration unlike the correlations found in forests. Most RI occurred in the first several hours of rainfall, and then RI rapidly decreased with time during a rainfall event. RI was dependent on the saturation deficit at ...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) of a novel genotype (J) was recovered from an 88-year-old Japanese patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who had a history of residing in Borneo during the World War II. It was divergent from eight human (A to H) and four ape (chimpanzee, gorilla, gibbon, and orangutan) HBV genotypes, as well as from a recently proposed ninth human genotype I, by 9.9 to 16.5% of the entire genomic sequence and did not have evidence of recombination with any of the nine human genotypes and four ...

We have studied the size-dependent optical properties of confined excitons in chainlike Si-backbone polymers with 5--110 Si atoms. The blueshift of the lowest exciton state was observed with decreasing number of Si atoms. In chains having 20 Si atoms or less, the oscillator strength per Si atom for the lowest exciton linearly increases with increasing number of Si atoms. The radiative-decay rate of excitons is in proportion to the square of the number of Si atoms. These results are experimental ...

Povidone-iodine (PVP-I) is an antiseptic which has been widely used in various fields. It was reported to have a weaker skin irritancy than other antiseptics in the Draize skin irritation test using rabbits. Recent increased concern for animal welfare requires us to use skin models in the tests as an alternative to animal testing. Actually, there are some skin models already commercialized, which are available to evaluate skin irritancy caused by e.g. chemical reagents, cosmetics or medicines. In ...

The present study was designed to examine the distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes among patients at various stages of chronic liver disease type B in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, where the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen is the highest in Japan despite the lowest mortality rate from primary liver cancer. Serum samples from 227 HBV carriers were determined for HBV genotype by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Five of 227 sera were negative ...

Abstract Design architecture of realizing high performance IPS‐LCDs with a 30% improved transmittance, less color shifting, and faster response time of less than ms 16 in the grayscales was represented. The newly developed pixel structure, consisting of transparent electrodes arranged on organic insulator, improved the transmittance and shielding effect for a data line. Finally, we have developed a 20‐inch diagonal wide‐XGA LCD to confirm the performance available to flat‐panel TVs.

An electronics system employing a high-speed network for the readout of linear position-sensitive 3He gas detector (PSD) has been developed at KEK. It will be widely used in neutron scattering instruments at the Material and Life Science Facility at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). This system consists of a new neutron encode—(NEUNET) module and a large-scale data acquisition (DAQ) system. The NEUNET module has not only the previous present histogram mode but also the event mode ...

Electrorefining tests of the non-irradiated U–Pu–Zr alloy were performed in LiCl–KCl–UCl3–PuCl3–ZrCl4 melts at 773 K, aiming at reduced Zr dissolution. The tests were carried out both using potentiostatic electrolysis at −1.0 V (vs. Ag+/Ag), i.e. at a more negative potential than the Zr dissolution potential, and galvanostatic electrolysis with a limited amount of Zr dissolution. The ICP–AES analysis of the anode residues confirmed that a high dissolution yield of actinides (U: >99.6%, Pu: 99.9%) was ...

Augmenting neovascularization with the use of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is a therapeutic option to rescue critical limb ischemia (CLI). However, the outcomes have been not so satisfactory. The detectable number of injected EPCs at the ischemic site is rather small. If EPCs accumulate more and stay longer there, neovascularization will be augmented. In this study, we tested whether external magnetic forces (EMFs) accumulated magnetized EPCs (Mag-EPCs) at the ischemic site and thereby augmented ...

Liquid Cd is used as a reaction medium in the pyrometallurgical reprocessing for spent nuclear fuels. The diffusion coefficient of a series of key elements, such as actinides and rare earths, in liquid Cd is one of the important physical properties for a kinetic analysis of the pyrometallurgical reprocessing. Recently, the authors applied an electrochemical method to the measurement of a diffusion coefficient in liquid metal. This presentation summarizes the diffusion coefficients of actinides (U ...
