A history of smoking is inversely correlated with the incidence of gemcitabine-induced neutropenia (2009)

Kanai, M., Morita, S., Matsumoto, S., Nishimura, T., Hatano, E., Yazumi, S., ...

Background: Smoking may affect the efficacy of chemotherapy and the incidence of adverse events. We investigated the correlation between smoking history and gemcitabine-induced neutropenia. Patients...

High-yield synthesis of single-walled carbon nanotubes by gravity-free arc discharge (2001)

Kanai, M., Koshio, A., Shinohara, H., Mieno, T., Kasuya, A., Ando, Y., ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been produced in high yield by the dc arc discharge technique under gravity-free conditions. Gravity-free conditions can reduce the convection flow of the...

Biochemical characterization of Haemophilus species with the minitek differentiation system.

Kawakami, Y, Okimura, Y, Kanai, M

Characterization of 102 Haemophilus strains by the Minitek differentiation system (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) was compared with that by the conventional method. The results obtained...

Dipeptidyl peptidase III is a zinc metallo-exopeptidase. Molecular cloning and expression.

Fukasawa, K, Fukasawa, K M, Kanai, M, Fujii, S, Hirose, J, Harada, M

We have purified dipeptidyl peptidase III (EC 3.4.14.4) from human placenta. It had a pH optimum of 8.8 and readily hydrolysed Arg-Arg-beta-naphthylamide. Monoamino acid-, Gly-Phe-, Gly-Pro- and...

The pattern of infiltration at the proximal border of hilar bile duct carcinoma: a histologic analysis of 62 resected cases.

Sakamoto, E, Nimura, Y, Hayakawa, N, Kamiya, J, Kondo, S, Nagino, M, ...

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the importance of different patterns of infiltration at the proximal border of hilar bile duct carcinomas. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: There are few detailed pathologic studies on...

High incidence of glucose intolerance in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease

Yawata, N., Nakamura, S., Kijima, M., Ikai, N., Kanai, M., Sugita, M., ...

AIMS—To evaluate glucose tolerance of patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease before systemic corticosteroid therapy, and to assess changes brought on by treatment.
METHODS—20 VKH...

Flow cytometric and functional analysis of mononuclear cells infiltrating the liver in experimental autoimmune hepatitis.

Kohda, H, Sekiya, C, Kanai, M, Yoshida, Y, Uede, T, Kikuchi, K, ...

Experimental autoimmune hepatitis was produced by immunizing Wistar rats with syngeneic liver proteins. Mononuclear cells infiltrating the liver tissue were identified by immunohistochemical...

Accumulation of NACP/α-synuclein in Lewy body disease and multiple system atrophy

Shoji, M., Harigaya, Y., Sasaki, A., Ueda, K., Ishiguro, K., Matsubara, E., ...

OBJECTIVES—NACP/α-synuclein is an aetiological gene product in familial Parkinson's disease. To clarify the pathological role of NACP/α-synuclein in sporadic Parkinson's disease and other related...

Changes in cerebral blood flow and vasoreactivity in response to acetazolamide in patients with transient global amnesia

Sakashita, Y., Kanai, M., Sugimoto, T., Taki, S., Takamori, M.

OBJECTIVE—Previous reports about changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in transient global amnesia disclosed decreased flow in some parts of the brain. However, CBF analyses in most reports were...

Elevated serum levels of Dupan-2 in pancreatic cancer patients negative for Lewis blood group phenotype.

Kawa, S., Oguchi, H., Kobayashi, T., Tokoo, M., Furuta, S., Kanai, M., ...

CA19-9, a serum marker for pancreatic cancer, gives false-negative results in patients who are negative for the Lewis blood group phenotype. To determine whether other markers may compensate for this...
