Immunological effect of active hexose correlated compound (AHCC) in healthy volunteers: a double-blind, placebo-controlled trialNaoyoshi Terakawa
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan
Nutr Cancer 60:643-51. 2008..No significant differences in PHA, NK cell activity, and cytokine production were found between groups. AHCC intake resulted in the increased number of DCs and function of DC1s, which have a role in specific immunity...
Surgical influence of pancreatectomy on the function and count of circulating dendritic cells in patients with pancreatic cancerKanji Takahashi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, 10-15, Fumizono, Moriguchi, 570-8507, Japan
Cancer Immunol Immunother 55:775-84. 2006..When a patient remained disease free, the recovery of cDC1 counts was observed approximately 12 months after pancreatectomy. Further strategy will be needed to improve immune function in patients with pancreatic cancer...
Clinical monitoring of innate cellular immunity of monocytes/macrophages by tumor necrosis factor alpha productivity in whole blood stimulated by lipopolysaccharide in patients with pancreatic cancerNaoyoshi Terakawa
Departments of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan
Pancreas 33:31-7. 2006..A method of assessing the capability of leukocytes, particularly macrophages, to produce TNF-alpha could be useful for prognostis and for monitoring immunocompetence in patients with pancreatic cancer who have undergone chemotherapy...
Circulating dendritic cells and development of septic complications after pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancerKanji Takahashi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, 2 3 1, Shin Machi, Hirakata, Osaka, 573 1191, Japan
Arch Surg 142:1151-7; discussion 1157. 2007..To investigate whether circulating dendritic cells in patients with pancreatic cancer is a risk factor for septic complications after pancreatectomy...
A new guideline to reduce postoperative morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomySohei Satoi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan
Pancreas 37:128-33. 2008..Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is still associated with high morbidity. To reduce the frequency of postoperative complications, we have made revisions in perioperative managements of pancreaticoduodenectomy...
Clinical impact of multidetector row computed tomography on patients with pancreatic cancerSohei Satoi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, 2 3 1 Shin machi, Hirakata, Osaka 573 1191, Japan
Pancreas 34:175-9. 2007....
Less morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy of patients with pancreatic cancerSohei Satoi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan
Pancreas 33:45-52. 2006..One result of this additional surgical stress may be that postoperative complications in patients with pancreatic cancer are more frequent than in patients with periampullary cancer...
Clinical outcome of 214 liver resections using microwave tissue coagulationSohei Satoi
Department of Surgery, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan
Hepatogastroenterology 52:1180-5. 2005..Herein, we report the clinical outcome of 214 patients with HCC who underwent non-anatomical liver resection using MTC in accordance with the tumor size...
