Journal ArticleDOI

Herbal medicine and false-positive results on lymphocyte transformation test.

TL;DR: Mitogenic activity inherent to some herbs and Kampo formulae may sometimes cause false-positivity on LTT in clinical situations, and this suggests that LTT for KampoFormula may be unreliable as a diagnostic method for drug-induced liver injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronous asymptomatic colonic metastasis from primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: The findings suggest that even with well-controlled and asymptomatic colonic metastasis from primary esophageal lesions, the prognosis of patients with primary ESCC is poor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on Ki-67 and PCNA labeling indices for esophageal squamous cell carcinomas.

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant CT decreased the percentage of cycling and proliferative tumor cells of esophageal cancer and significant correlation of Ki-67 and PCNA LIs between biopsy and surgical specimens was demonstrated for the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2-restricted and MAGE-3-gene-derived peptide-specific cytolytic T lymphocytes using cultured dendritic cells from an HLA-A2 esophageal cancer patient.

TL;DR: Using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a 10‐year survivor with established human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐A2(+) and MAGE‐3(+) esophageal cancer cell line (KYSE‐170), the induction of HLA‐A 2‐restricted and Mage‐3‐gene‐derived peptide (FLWGPRALV, amino acids 271–279)‐specific cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenge Tests and Kampo Medicines: Case Report and Review of the Literature
