Thermoelectric performance enhancement of environmentally‐friendly SrTiO3 epitaxial films by hydrogen substitution

Masatoshi Kimura, Masahiro Ochiai, Xinyi He, Takayoshi Katase et autres

Abstract Developing high‐efficiency and environmentally‐friendly thermoelectric materials has been a significant challenge. Conventional thermometric materials consist of heavy (toxic) elements to reduce thermal conductivity (κ), while we demonstrated light‐element hydride anion (H−) substitution in SrTiO3 can largely reduce κ and enhance thermometric …

Randomized Clinical Trial of the Effects of Perioperative Use of Immune‐enhancing Enteral Formula on Metabolic and Immunological Status in Patients Undergoing Esophagectomy

Yoichi Sakurai, Toshihiko Masui, Ikuo Yoshida, Shuhei Tonomura et autres

BACKGROUND: Although perioperative immune-enhancing enteral formula (IEEF) is effective to decrease the rate of infectious complications, it is not clear whether perioperative use of IEEF decreases the incidence of postoperative complications and improves clinical outcome in patients who have undergone esophagectomy. A …

Incidence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and the Relationship between Age and Smoking in a Japanese Population

Shigeko Kojima, Hiroki Sakakibara, Shinichi Motani, Kunihiko Hirose et autres

BACKGROUND: Accurately evaluating a risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requires a large-scale longitudinal study using a standard criterion for diagnosing COPD. There have been only a few such follow-up studies in Europe and no reports in Asia. We estimated the …

Expression of chemoresistance-related proteins in α-fetoprotein-producing adenocarcinoma of the digestive organs

Shingo Kamoshida, Mai Suzuki, Yoichi Sakurai, Masahiro Ochiai et autres

alpha-fetoprotein-producing adenocarcinoma of the digestive organs (APAD) is known to show a poor prognosis. To clarify the characteristics of chemoresistance in APAD, three proteins of fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy association [dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and thymidylate synthase (TS)] and one protein of …

Yoichi Sakurai, Ikuo Yoshida, Shuhei Tonomura, Kazuki Inaba et autres

Although orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT EC 2.4.2.10) is a key enzyme related to the first-step activation process of 5-fluorouracil, and therefore it has been shown to be an important enzyme that enables to predict sensitivity to 5-fluorouracil, the clinical and prognostic significance of …
