With a modified rat mast cell degranulation (RMCD) technique developed by Korotzer, Haddad and Lopapa (1971), the mechanism of mast cell degranulation by IgE—anti-IgE reaction and the inhibitory...
Expression of occludin, tight-junction-associated protein, in human digestive tract.
Kimura, Y., Shiozaki, H., Hirao, M., Maeno, Y., Doki, Y., Inoue, M., ...
The tight junction seals cells together at a subapical location and functionally separates the plasma membrane into an apical and a basolateral domain. This junction is one of the most characteristic...
Beta-catenin expression in human cancers.
Takayama, T., Shiozaki, H., Shibamoto, S., Oka, H., Kimura, Y., Tamura, S., ...
Cell-cell adhesion in tissue is mainly regulated by homotypic interaction of cadherin molecules, which are anchored to the cytoskeleton via cytoplasmic proteins, including alpha- and beta-catenin....

Simulated swimming: a useful tool for evaluation the VO2 max of swimmers in the laboratory.
Kimura, Y, Yeater, R A, Martin, R B
This study was designed to develop a simulated swimming exercise (SS) so that peak VO2 would be assessed on swimmers in a laboratory setting. The subjects assumed a prone position on an incline bench...

Serum CA125 level is a good prognostic indicator in lung cancer.
Kimura, Y., Fujii, T., Hamamoto, K., Miyagawa, N., Kataoka, M., Iio, A.
The serum CA125 level was determined by a one-step immunoradiometric assay method in patients with lung cancer. Increased serum CA125 levels were observed in 37.8% of patients with squamous cell...
