Recent experimental studies have reported that leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) might protect against dementia. However, few clinical studies have examined this in humans. This study assessed whether the use of LTRAs can prevent the onset of dementia in humans. A large population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using a health...

Expression of kallikrein-11 (KLK11) has been found to be related to the prognosis of various human cancer types but its physiological functions in the steps of breast cancer (BC) progression are still unknown. BC and adjacent normal breast tissue samples were collected from 28 patients. KLK11 expression levels were determined by real-time polymeras...

Tumour biopsy using laparoscopy before neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer has been widely accepted. However, there are few reports about its operative outcome compared to biopsy with laparotomy. We investigated the advantage of laparoscopic biopsy for advanced ovarian cancer. We included 23 patients who underwent laparoscopy and 2...

COVID-19 may lead to progressive respiratory failure as a consequence of alveolar damage, resulting in death. The aim of this study was to evaluate cytogenetic damage in oral cells of COVID-19 patients by micronucleus assay. A total of 11 COVID-19 patients aged 40.7±9.3 years (5 men and 6 women) were included in this study. For the control group, a...

We aimed to elucidate the hemodynamic alterations in the liver of patients with acute hepatitis (AH) using computed tomography perfusion imaging. For 14 patients with AH and nine patients with no disease (ND group), we compared the mean arterial blood flow (AF), portal blood flow (PF) and perfusion index (%) [PI=AF/(AF+PF) ×100] of the right and le...

Recent studies have reported that the albumin-to-globulin ratio (AGR) may be a useful inflammatory-nutritional biomarker to predict postoperative complications and poor prognosis in various types of patients with cancer. However, its prognostic value in patients with esophageal cancer is still unclear. We aimed to examine the utility of the AGR for...

Sperm cells are competent to integrate exogenous DNA into their genome. We sought to clarify Human Pappiloma Virus (HPV) internalization in spermatozoa and early preimplantation embryos. Sperm was incubated with plasmid vectors containing the complete genome of human HPV 16 and HPV 18 tagged with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene, to investi...

Although the CheckMate 214 trial affirmed the effectiveness of nivolumab-ipilimumab combination therapy in advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), its safety and efficacy in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on haemodialysis remains unexplored. All patients were male and underwent mRCC treatment with partial nephrectomy or ne...

Adamantinoma is a biphasic tumor, with a low potential for malignancy, characterized by clusters of epithelial cells surrounded by a relatively bland spindle-cell osteofibrous component. The aim of the present study was to review the updated data regarding epidemiology; pathogenesis; clinical presentation; radiological, histopathological and ultras...
