[A Trial of Practical Training on Online Medication Instructions in Clinical Preparatory Education: Development of Human Resources to Provide New Forms of Medical Care after the COVID-19 Pandemic].

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has considerably affected several social services. The Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare has partially revised the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Law and established legislations on permanent online medication instructions. Based on these social needs, the development of human resources to provide online medication instructions is vital.

[Effect of collagen peptides on skeletal muscle mass in the elderly: An interventional study examining oral nutrition support for patients in a recovery-phase rehabilitation ward].

Aim: The present study aimed to compare the effect of collagen peptides on skeletal muscle mass between patients in a recovery-phase rehabilitation ward who received oral nutrition support intervention with collagen peptides (intervention group) and those who did not (control group).

Methods: Subjects were 19 patients ≥65 years old who had been admitted to our recovery-phase rehabilitation ward due to fracture or stroke between June 1 and August 31, 2018. The intervention group received an oral nutrition supplement containing 10 g of collagen peptides.

Hepatoprotective Activity of Yellow Chinese Chive against Acetaminophen-Induced Acute Liver Injury via Nrf2 Signaling Pathway.

Glutathione, the most abundant intracellular antioxidant, protects cells against reactive oxygen species induced oxidative stress and regulates intracellular redox status. We previously demonstrated that yellow Chinese chive (ki-nira) increased the intracellular glutathione levels. Acetaminophen (APAP) is a commonly used analgesic.

Protective Effects of Rice Peptide Oryza Peptide-P60 against Oxidative Injury through Activation of Nrf2 Signaling Pathway and .

We previously showed that commercially available rice peptide Oryza Peptide-P60 (OP60) increased the intracellular glutathione levels. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of this peptide and assess its mechanism of action. Pretreatment of HepG2 cells with OP60 reduced the cytotoxicity caused by HO or acetaminophen (APAP) (47.
