INTRODUCTION: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) is a member of the human immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass, a protein involved in immunity to pathogens and the body's resistance system. IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) are intractable diseases in which IgG4 levels in the blood are elevated, causing inflammation in organs such as the liver, pancreas, and salivary glands. IgG4-RD are known to be more prevalent in males than in females, but the etiology remains to be elucidated. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota (GM) and serum IgG4 levels in the general population...

The nature of nonlinear magnetoelectric (NLME) effect has been investigated at room-temperature in a single-crystal Zn substituted nickel ferrite. Tuning of the frequency of magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) modes under an applied pulsed DC electric field/current has been utilized to probe the effect. The frequencies of the modes at 8-20 GHz were found to decrease by ~ 400 MHz for an applied DC power P of ~ 100 mW and the frequency shift was the same for all of the MSSW modes and linearly proportional to P...

There is a pressing need for the automated extraction of chemical reaction information because of the rapid growth of scientific documents. The previously reported works in the literature for the procedure extraction either (a) did not consider the semantic relations between the action and argument or (b) defined a detailed schema for the extraction. The former method was insufficient for reproducing the reaction, while the latter methods were too specific to their own schema and did not consider the general semantic relation between the verb and argument...

Involuntary non-regular employment is a severe inequity problem worldwide, and it may significantly affect the mental health of employees. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between employment type and mental health. Additionally, the characteristics of involuntary non-regularly employed workers were explored. An online-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Japan, and 1566 participants were included in the data analysis. The eligible participants were divided into four categories: regularly employed (n = 1092), voluntary (n = 134), average (n = 233) and involuntary (n = 107) non-regularly employed individuals, respectively...

HYPOTHESIS: The shelf life of multiphase systems, e.g. oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, is severely limited by physical and/or chemical instabilities, which degrade their texture, macroscopic appearance, sensory and (for edible systems) nutritional quality. One prominent chemical instability is lipid oxidation, which is notoriously complex. The complexity arises from the involvement of many physical structures present at several scales (1-10,000 nm), of which the smallest ones are often overlooked during characterization...

BACKGROUND/AIM: Surgical resection is recommended for nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-pNENs). However, metastasis is rare in patients with small lesions with histological grade 1 (G1); thus, observation is an optional treatment approach for small NF-pNENs. Texture analysis (TA) is an imaging analysis mode for quantification of heterogeneity by extracting quantitative parameters from images. We retrospectively evaluated the utility of TA in predicting histological grade of resected NF-pNENs in a multicenter retrospective study...

Part of the broader glycosphingolipid family, gangliosides are composed of a ceramide bound to a sialic acid-containing glycan chain, and locate at the plasma membrane. Gangliosides are produced through sequential steps of glycosylation and sialylation. This diversity of composition is reflected in differences in expression patterns and functions of the various gangliosides. Ganglioside GD2 designates different subspecies following a basic structure containing three carbohydrate residues and two sialic acids...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) act directly on pathogens and maintain the anti-inflammatory effects and activation of immunocompetent cells. Therefore, the activation of the immune system in poultry via the elevation of endogenous AMPs has been attempted. In this study, we focused on the host defense mechanisms in the bursa of Fabricius (BF) of Japanese quail, cloned the cDNA of cathelicidin (CATH)-1 to -3, and analyzed their expression sites. In situ hybridization experiments revealed the mRNA expression of the CATHs in the interfollicular epithelium surrounding the lumen of the quail BF, which suggests that each CATH may exert its antimicrobial action directly in the BF...

A 16-year-old girl with fever that appeared after taking the second COVID-19 vaccine presented to the clinic with a serum creatinine of 0.89 mg/dL and C-reactive protein of 6.9 mg/dL. She had proteinuria and microscopic hematuria, with slowly worsening kidney function. Her kidney biopsy showed fibrocellular crescents in seven of nine glomeruli that were observed under light microscopy. Another glomerulus showed endocapillary hypercellularity and mesangial cell proliferation. Electron-dense deposits were significant in the mesangial area, with monoclonal IgG1-κ and C3 deposition by immunofluorescence...
