Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Southeast Asian mints, which are under-researched yet important in cooking and medicine, examining their genetic diversity and classification.
- Researchers used simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and leaf morphology to identify two distinct types of mints based on their leaf shape and venation patterns.
- The findings led to the development of 12 SSR markers that allowed for refined classification of these mints into groups, helping to clarify the genetic relationships among known and unclassified mint species.
Background: Although anticoagulation therapy is commonly used in the prostate cancer population, there are only a few studies about the correlation between radiation proctitis and anticoagulation therapy. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether low-dose aspirin increases the severity of acute radiation proctitis in an experimental animal model.
Methods: Wistar rats were used in the present study.
The purpose of the present study was to establish an experimental rat model for late radiation proctitis, and to examine the assessment strategy for late radiation proctitis. A total of 57 Wistar rats were used. Fourty-five of the rats were exposed to selective rectal irradiation with a single fraction of 25 Gy.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to standardize the experimental rat model of radiation proctitis and to examine the efficacy of polaprezinc on radiation proctitis.
Methods And Materials: A total of 54 female Wistar rats (5 weeks old) were used. The rats were divided into three groups: those treated with polaprezinc (PZ+), those treated with base alone, exclusive of polaprezinc (PZ-), and those treated without any medication (control).
[New three-dimensional compensating filter for TBI using compu-former associated with RT LAN].

To shorten the TBI process, we developed a new device for making the three-dimensional (3D) compensating filter that improves dose distribution. The dose distributions in the phantom and manufacturing time were compared between the new device and the previous one. Clinical evaluations included dose distribution in patients and the clinical rate of interstitial pneumonitis (IP).

March 2002
Background: Radiation-induced stomatitis is one of the adverse effects of total body irradiation(TBI). We examined the usefulness of oral polaprezinc as a preventive drug for stomatitis.
Patients And Methods: The present study was conducted with 19 patients who were diagnosed with hematologic malignancy and who underwent TBI as pretreatment for bone marrow transplantation, peripheral blood stem transplantation, or cord blood stem cell transplantation.
