Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The ability of H. pylori to regulate epithelial cell responses related to inflammation depends on the presence of an intact cag pathogenicity island, as well as several strain-specific differences in gene composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of lentinan for treating gastric cancer.
TL;DR: Lentinan may exert a synergistic action with anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies to activate complement systems through the mechanism of antibody-dependent cellular cytot toxicity and complement dependent cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome after enteroscopy for patients with obscure GI bleeding: diagnostic comparison between double-balloon endoscopy and videocapsule endoscopy.
Daigo Arakawa,Naoki Ohmiya,Masanao Nakamura,Wataru Honda,Osamu Shirai,Akihiro Itoh,Yoshiki Hirooka,Yasumasa Niwa,Osamu Maeda,Takafumi Ando,Hidemi Goto +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a complementary combination between DBE and VCE was used for the management of OGIB in patients with vascular disease, comorbidities, and severe anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-bowel obstruction: diagnostic comparison between double-balloon endoscopy and fluoroscopic enteroclysis, and the outcome of enteroscopic treatment.
Naoki Ohmiya,Daigo Arakawa,Masanao Nakamura,Wataru Honda,Osamu Shirai,Ayumu Taguchi,Akihiro Itoh,Yoshiki Hirooka,Yasumasa Niwa,Osamu Maeda,Takafumi Ando,Hidemi Goto +11 more
TL;DR: DBE was useful for the diagnosis of SBO and Balloon dilation is considered an alternative to surgery in patients with fibrotic strictures both related and unrelated to Crohn's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that elevation of local IL-6 activity may be a characteristic feature of active IBD and both macrophages and colonic epithelial cells are the major cell types responsible for this phenomenon.
