Fluorescence-Guided Resection of Malignant Glioma with 5-ALA by Sadahiro Kaneko, Sadao Kaneko

“…Moreover, it is evident that the mechanism underlying PpIX accumulation in malignant glioma tissues involves an abnormality in porphyrin-heme metabolism, specifically decreased ferrochelatase enzyme activity. During resection surgery, the macroscopic fluorescence of PpIX to the naked eye is more sensitive than magnetic resonance imaging, and the alert real time spectrum of PpIX is the most sensitive method. …”

Can carbonated water support weight loss? by Akira Takahashi

“…Background Carbonated water has been reported to induce satiety, gastric motility and lower serum glucose concentrations, but the mechanisms remain unclear.Methods This report explores the physiological effects of carbonated water, referencing a study published in 2004 on the mechanisms of hypoglycaemia induced by haemodialysis.Results Upon consumption of carbonated water, carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed into the bloodstream, and converted into bicarbonate by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in erythrocytes. This process increases intracellular pH, stimulating anaerobic glycolysis in erythrocytes and leading to higher glucose utilisation. …”
