The liver is an important organ for the removal of toxins and utilization of nutrients. The present study then investigated whether a mixture of mulberry water extracts and silk amino acids protected against acute liver damage in rats induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine and the action mechanism. D-galactosamine injection is…[Read more]

Hydroxocobalamin is a form of manufactured, injectable vitamin B12. Clinicians use it in the prevention and treatment of macrocytic anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. It may also be part of therapy to treat Leber’s optic atrophy (an inherited optic neuropathy associated with a deficiency in vitamin B12). It is also an antidote in cases…[Read more]

We developed a reusable magnetic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor chip for detecting various target molecules repeatedly in a conventional SPR system. Here, ferromagnetic patterns on a SPR sensor chip were utilized to trap a layer of magnetic particles, and they were utilized as a solid substrate for SPR sensing in a conventional SPR system.…[Read more]

17) after 6 months, 74 versus 64% (p = 0.28) after 12 months, and 77 versus 73% (p = 0.62) after 18 or more months. The mean postoperative hearing loss in patients with functional residual hearing before surgery (n = 34) was 22 dB in the non-SCD group versus 31 dB in the SCD group (p = 0.15).

CI outcome is comparable between recipients…[Read more]
