Journal ArticleDOI
Microglial and astrocytic changes in the striatum of methamphetamine abusers.
Osamu Kitamura,Toshiaki Takeichi,Elaine Lu Wang,Itsuo Tokunaga,Akiko Ishigami,Shin-ichi Kubo +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that chronic METH use by itself did not activate glial cells in humans and reactive gliosis may not be involved in the mechanism underlying the loss of control in drug intake, which is a characteristic feature of drug addiction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of the age of human bloodstains by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy: long-term controlled experiment on the effects of environmental factors
Yoshihiko Fujita,Koichiro Tsuchiya,Shinji Abe,Yoshiharu Takiguchi,Shin-ichi Kubo,Hiromu Sakurai +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that plotting double logarithms of the EPR intensity ratio of H/g4 versus days past bleeding gave a linear correlation up to 432 days with an error range within 25% of the actual number of days under controlled conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical investigation of dopaminergic terminal markers and caspase-3 activation in the striatum of human methamphetamine users.
TL;DR: It is suggested that immunohistochemical techniques could be used to examine dopaminergic terminal marker levels and could also give useful information on chronic and/or lethal METH use in cases of METH-related death, where METH intoxication may not be toxicologically demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical study of myoglobin and oxidative injury-related markers in the kidney of methamphetamine abusers.
TL;DR: It is suggested that in addition to the measurement of the concentration of MA, immunohistochemical staining of myoglobin, HSP70, 8-OH-dG, 4-HNE, and SOD offers important information for the diagnosis of MA poisoning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autopsy report for a caffeine intoxication case and review of the current literature
Takuma Yamamoto,Katsuhiko Yoshizawa,Shin-ichi Kubo,Yuko Emoto,Kenji Hara,Brian Waters,Takahiro Umehara,Takehiko Murase,Kazuya Ikematsu +8 more
TL;DR: Even though high caffeine concentrations were found in the systemic organs, no caffeine-related pathological changes were detected in the blood, urine and main organs in a fatal caffeine intoxication case.
