Serum deoxyribonuclease I activity can be used as a sensitive marker for detection of transient myocardial ischaemia induced by percutaneous coronary intervention (2005)

Arakawa, Kenichiro, Kawai, Yasuyuki, Kumamoto, Teruhiko, Morikawa, Norihiro, Yoshida, Masahiro, Tada, Hiroshi, ...

Aims Cardiac markers such as troponin T (c-TnT) have proven unsuitable for the detection of early and transient myocardial ischaemia. We recently reported that abrupt elevation of serum...

A Protocol for Real-Time Remote Musical Session (2005)

YOSHIDA, Masahiro, OBU, Yuka, YONEKURA, Tatsuhiro

Performing a musical session via networks requires real-time interaction. There exists, however, the problem of delay between the network nodes, which causes musical sessions become an impediment. To...

Prostaglandin F2{alpha}, cytokines and cyclic mechanical stretch augment matrix metalloproteinase-1 secretion from cultured human uterine cervical fibroblast cells (2002)

Yoshida, Masahiro, Sagawa, Norimasa, Itoh, Hiroaki, Yura, Shigeo, Takemura, Maki, Wada, Yukihisa, ...

Human uterine cervical tissue is composed mainly of fibroblast cells and the extracellular matrix in which collagen types I and III predominate. It is hypothesized that these collagens are degraded...

Nitric oxide increases matrix metalloproteinase-1 production in human uterine cervical fibroblast cells (2001)

Yoshida, Masahiro, Sagawa, Norimasa, Itoh, Hiroaki, Yura, Shigeo, Korita, Daizo, Kakui, Kazuyo, ...

Since uterine cervical ripening is an active biochemical process similar in part to an inflammatory reaction, nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as a key mediator of this event. However, the...

Substrate specificity of the Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase (1992)

Vandekerckhove, Filip, Schenkman, Sergio, Carvalho, Lain Pontes De, Tomlinson, Stephen, Kiso, Makoto, Yoshida, Masahiro, ...

Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes acquire sialic acid (SA) from host glycoconjugates by means of a plasma membrane-associated trans-sialidase (TS). Here we study the substrate specificity of TS,...

Inhibitory Effect of Pseudo-Aminosugars on Oligosaccharide Glucosidases I and II and on Lysosomal {alpha}-Glucosidase from Rat Liver (1990)

Takeuchi, Masayoshi, Kamata, Kanae, Yoshida, Masahiro, Kameda, Yukihiko, Matsui, Katsuhiko

We examined the inhibitory effect of three pseudo-aminosugars (validamine, valienamine, and valiolamine), which were isolated from the broth of Streptomyces hygroscopicus, on the...

Structure of the Cell Wall Proteogalactomannan from Neurospora crassa: I. Purification of the Proteoheteroglycan and Characterization of Alkali-Labile Oligosaccharides (1984)

NAKAJIMA, Tasuku, YOSHIDA, Masahiro, HIURA, Nozomi, MATSUDA, Kazuo

Proteoheteroglycan (PHG) was prepared from Neurospora crassa cells by extraction with hot water followed by cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide fractionation. The polymer was purified by DEAE-celluIose...

Structure of the Cell Wall Proteogalactomannan from Neurospora crassa: II. Structural Analysis of the Polysaecharide Part (1984)

NAKAJIMA, Tasuku, YOSHIDA, Masahiro, NAKAMURA, Mitsuru, HIURA, Nozomi, MATSUDA, Kazuo

The native proteoheteroglycan (PHG) from mycelia of Neurospora crassa contains two kinds of carbohydrate chains differing structure. The oligosaccharides containing mannose and galactofuransoe are...

Myocardial metabolic regulation through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha after myocardial infarction

Masamura, Katsuhiko, Tanaka, Nobuyoshi, Yoshida, Masahiro, Kato, Masayuki, Kawai, Yasuyuki, Oida, Koji, ...

Although peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) is closely associated with myocardial fatty acid metabolism, the pathophysiological role of PPARα in myocardial infarction (MI) is...
