TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that hydrogen (H2 )h can be used as an effective antioxidant therapy; owing to its ability to rapidly diffuse across membranes, it can reach and react with cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) and thus protect against oxidative damage.

TL;DR: No clear difference was noted in immunoblotting studies on subunits of Complexes III and IV between the control and Parkinson's disease, but defects in Complex I subunits seem to be one of the most important clues to elucidate pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease.

TL;DR: It is suggested that large-scale deletion mutations of mtDNA alone are sufficient for the mitochondrial dysfunction characteristic of CPEO.

TL;DR: Population-based comparisons confirmed that present-day Japanese have their closest genetic affinity to northern Asian populations, especially to Koreans, which finding is congruent with the proposed Continental gene flow to Japan after the Yayoi period.

TL;DR: The anterolateral thigh flap is a septoutaneous artery flap based on the septocutaneous or muscle perforators of the lateral circumflex femoral system that is suitable for reconstruction of defects in an oral floor with tongue and esophageal deficits, scalp defects with dural defects, and for large full thickness defects of the lip.
