Published: May 2007

We measured serum aldolase levels in Yusho sufferers annually between the years 2000 and 2005. We observed a decrease in serum aldolase levels in 47.7% of the patients studied. We researched the relations among serum aldolase, serum creatine kinase, blood polychlorinated biphenyls, blood polychlorinated quaterphenyls, blood polychlorinated dibenzofurans and toxic equivalent quantity statistically. We conclude that a high concentration of blood polychlorinated biphenyls might play a role in the decrease of serum aldolase levels in Yusho sufferers.

With increasing regulations restricting antibiotic use in animal feed, the need for alternative strategies to prevent and manage necrotic enteritis (NE) has become imperative. As a result, developing effective vaccines has emerged as a top priority for broiler chicken health management. Coccidial infections are a well-established predisposing factor for NE, underscoring the importance of controlling coccidiosis to help mitigate NE outbreaks.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated clinical indicators that can help predict relapses in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who have anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) antibodies, treated with prednisolone and calcineurin inhibitors.
  • Fifty patients were monitored over a span of up to 4.8 years, where 38% experienced relapses, and researchers analyzed various factors to determine what might signal a relapse.
  • Key findings showed that acute/subacute ILD, high serum levels of aldolase and surfactant protein-D, and low forced vital capacity percentages are significant risk factors, enabling earlier predictions and potentially better management of the condition.

Aim: To investigate the outcomes of cabozantinib in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC), focusing on dose setting and modification.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 34 Japanese patients who received cabozantinib for uHCC. Trough concentrations (C) of cabozantinib were also measured weekly for 6 weeks in the 18 patients.
