liver neoplasms/potato

We studied the usefulness and the limits of the ultrasonic diagnostic criteria for liver tumours formulated by the Japan Society of Ultrasonics in Medicine (JSUM). 226 cases with liver mass lesions were enrolled in this study. At least one of the criteria reached a value of over 80% for one of the

Sweet potato is the sixth most important crop widely cultivated around the world with abundant varieties. Different varieties gain different phenolic profiles which has drawn researchers' attention for its unique health benefits. Our study evaluated the phenolic profiles, total and cellular

Antioxidant extracts from 5 potato lines were evaluated for antioxidant activity, total phenolics, chlorogenic acid, anthocyanin content, and in vitro anticancer capacity. Analysis showed that Mexican wild species S. pinnatisectum had the highest antioxidant activity, total phenolic, and chlorogenic

The dietary intakes of 90 confirmed primary liver cancer cases were compared against 90 age-sex matched controls. Dietary recall, obtained by the same nutritionist, was taken for each change of residence lasting one year or more. The frequency and amounts of food items consumed were calculated into

Embolizing chemotherapeutic methods are presently used primarily for nonresectable metastatic hepatic carcinoma. Because this kind of carcinoma is generally ischemic, little is expected from embolizing chemotherapeutic methods aimed at tumor necrosis by blood flow obstruction using gelatin sponges.

Degradable Starch Microspheres (DSM) are spherical starch microspheres prepared from partially hydrolysed potato starch and then cross-linked by epichlorohydrin. PJ-203 is a transient intra-arterial embolic material and suspended in physiological saline at a concentration of 60 mg/ml starch

In the present study, optimal medium for the growth of mycelia and the production of exopolysaccharides from Paecilomyces hepiali HN1 (PHEPS) in submerged culture was investigated. As a result, the maximum production of mycelia (12.98 ± 0.14 g/L) and PHEPS (5.33 ± 0.11 g/L) were achieved under the

Epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with reduced risk of chronic diseases. Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables containing high levels of phytochemicals has been recommended to prevent chronic diseases related to oxidative stress in

Nutrition effects on mortality in the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study (JACC Study) were investigated using interview and follow up. Multivitamin and vitamin E use was found to be associated with lower mortality from cerebrovascular disease (CVD). For all causes, CVD and ischemic heart disease
