and protect against decreased KCC2 expression induced by the lipopolysaccharide treatment in PC-12 cells and improve behavioral abnormalities in male mice.

(KSS) and (KKT) have been traditionally prescribed for neuropsychiatric symptoms in Japan. However, the molecular mechanism of its effect is not elucidated enough. On the other hand, it has been reported that lipopolysaccharide derived from ( LPS) is involved not only in periodontal disease but also in the systemic diseases such as psychiatric disorders via neuroinflammation.

Clinical features of patients with small cell lung cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

Background: The clinical features of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have not been fully elucidated.

Patients And Methods: Data on 366 patients with pathologically confirmed SCLC who had been treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed to investigate the clinical features of SCLC with IPF.

Results: A total of 97 out of the 366 patients were diagnosed with interstitial lung disease (ILD), and 75 of them had IPF.

Sinusoidally modulated magnetic structure of Kramers local moments in CePdAl.

The crystalline electric field (CEF) level scheme and magnetic structure of a tetragonal antiferromagnet CePdAl with [Formula: see text] K and [Formula: see text] K were studied by neutron scattering, magnetization and magnetoresistance measurements. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements on the powder sample revealed CEF excitations at 21.3 and 22.

Lack of association between the CARD10 rs6000782 polymorphism and type 1 autoimmune hepatitis in a Japanese population.

Background: Previous genome-wide association studies have evaluated the impact of common genetic variants and identified several non-HLA risk loci associated with autoimmune liver diseases. More recent genome-wide association studies and replication analyses reported an association between variants of the CARD10 polymorphism rs6000782 and risk of type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). In this case-control study, we genotyped 326 Japanese AIH patients and 214 control subjects.

Circulating microRNA Profiles in Patients with Type-1 Autoimmune Hepatitis.

Recent studies have demonstrated that micro (mi)RNA molecules can be detected in the circulation and can serve as potential biomarkers of various diseases. This study used microarray analysis to identify aberrantly expressed circulating miRNAs in patients with type 1 autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) compared with healthy controls. Patients with well-documented and untreated AIH were selected from the National Hospital Organization (NHO)-AIH-liver-network database.
