Careful readings for a flash glucose monitoring system in nondiabetic Japanese subjects: individual differences and discrepancy in glucose concentrarion after glucose loading [Rapid Communication].

The FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System (FGM), which can continuously measure glucose concentration in the interstitial fluid glucose (FGM-ISFG), has been in clinical use worldwide. However, it is not clear how accurately FGM-ISFG reflects plasma glucose concentration (PG). In the present study, we examined the clinical utility of FGM by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

Brief psychoeducation for schizophrenia primarily intended to change the cognition of auditory hallucinations: an exploratory study.

Auditory hallucinations and delusions are core symptoms of schizophrenia, which interact with each other. The attribution of auditory hallucinations to other people is considered to lead to secondary delusions. This study examined whether brief psychoeducation can change the cognition of auditory hallucinations, particularly, their attribution, and thus alleviate secondary delusions.

Studies on the constituents of Syringa species. X. Five new iridoid glycosides from the leaves of Syringa reticulata (Blume) Hara.

Five new iridoid glycosides, (8Z)-ligstroside (1), (8Z)-nüzhenide (3), 6'-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosylsyringopicroside (4), 3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylsyringopicroside (5) and 4'-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylsyringopicroside (6) were isolated, together with a known one, (8E)-nüzhenide (2), from the leaves of Syringa reticulata. Their structures were established on the basis of chemical and spectral data. Compounds 1 and 3 are the first findings of a (8Z)-oleoside-type secoiridoid.
