Slow progression of type 1 diabetes associated with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib combination therapy in a patient with probable slowly progressive type 1 diabetes mellitus and endometrial cancer.

A 58-year-old woman with a body mass index of 26.4 kg/m was referred because of high glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at a medical checkup. Her anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) titer was positive (16.

[A case of hypoglycemia caused by the accidental ingestion of glimepiride in an elderly dementia patient diagnosed based on the serum glimepiride concentration].

A 77-year-old man being treated for Alzheimer-type dementia and an old cerebral infarction was admitted to our hospital due to disturbance of consciousness. The patient's Mini-mental State Examination and Hasegawa Dementia Scale scores were 23 and 17 points, respectively. His blood glucose level was low (18 mg/dl), with a relatively high insulin level (15.

A Raman study on the C(4)=O stretching mode of flavins in flavoenzymes: hydrogen bonding at the C(4)=O moiety.

Raman spectroscopy was used to investigate the hydrogen bonding at the C(4)=O moiety of the isoalloxazine nucleus in a series of flavins and flavoproteins. Isotope effects of Raman bands confirmed that the band observed around 1,710 cm(-1) is mainly derived from C(4)=O stretching vibrational mode. A linear correlation was observed between the frequency of C(4)=O stretching and the chemical shift of 13C(4), suggesting that the data from both Raman and NMR spectroscopies reflect a common perturbation, i.

Spectroscopic studies of rat liver acyl-CoA oxidase with reference to recognition and activation of substrate.

Two forms of rat peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase (ACO-I and -II) interact with the substrate analogs, 3-ketoacyl-CoAs, forming a complex characterized by the so-called charge-transfer (CT) band around 575 nm in the absorption spectra. The CT band of ACO-I exhibited a broad dependency on the acyl chain-length from C4 to C16, whereas that of ACO-II showed increased intensity with a longer acyl chain to reach a maximum with a chain-length of C12. These chain-length dependencies of the CT bands were compared with those of the enzymatic activities reported previously [Setoyama et al.
