We studied the correlation between the adiponectin-leptin (A/L) ratio and parameters of insulin
resistance in 220 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (138 men and 82 women). Body …

We previously reported that the adiponectin-leptin (A/L) ratio was more efficacious as a
parameter of insulin resistance than adiponectin or leptin alone, and a more sensitive and …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) promote cancer metastasis in preclinical models
following massive exogenous inflammatory stimuli. It remains unknown whether cancer hosts …

A new specific RIA for a-human atrial natriuretic hormone (ahANP) was used to determine
whether changes in plasma volume elicited by acute water loading, hypertonic saline infusion, …

Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have recently become
promising tools in various fields. We investigated the feasibility of wind vector profile …

A 17-yr-old female Japanese patient, who was reported in 1968 as having glucocorticoid-responsive
hyperaldosteronism but was presumed to have a defect of 17 alpha-hydroxylation …

Two-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of an accretion flow on to a compact object fed
by a stellar wind in a close binary system with a mass ratio of unity are performed. We …

Bone tissue engineering is a promising field of regenerative medicine in which cultured cells,
scaffolds, and osteogenic inductive signals are used to regenerate bone. Human bone …

We assessed the effect of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline (L + AD) and 3% prilocaine
with 0.03 IU/mL felypressin (P + FP) on blood pressure and heart rate in older adults with …

Background: Although bone tissue engineering for dentistry has been studied for many
years, the clinical outcome for severe cases has not been established. Furthermore, there are …
