Open AccessExtension of bacterial rDNA sequencing for simultaneous methylation detection and its application in microflora analysis
Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of the bacterial 16S rDNA region has numerous scientific applications, it does not provide DNA methylation information. Herein, we propose ...

Open AccessCut-off values of serum IgG4 among three reagents, including a novel IgG4 reagent: a multicenter study
Elevated serum IgG4 is a useful marker of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) activity. However, there is no uniformity in the cut-off values of IgG4 among the various reagents. The aim of this study was to compare...

Exfoliative toxin A staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome in preterm infants
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) demonstrates dermal symptoms due to exfoliative toxin (ET) A or ETB produced by Staphylococcus aureus. We examined the association between anti-ETA antibodies and SSSS ...

Pathophysiological Investigation of the Gastric Surface Mucous Gel Layer of Patients with Helicobacter pylori Infection by Using Immunoassays for Trefoil Factor Family 2 and Gastric Gland Mucous Cell-Type Mucin in Gastric Juice
The trefoil factor family (TFF) 2 protein is produced by gastric gland mucous cells (GMCs), and the secreted TFF2 shares a mucosal barrier function with GMC-type mucin. Recently, we presented an enzyme-linked ...

Ion Emitter based on Carbon Nanotubes in Liquid Helium
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are employed to construct field emitters to inject ions into liquid helium. The nanotube field emitter (NTFE) works at voltages as low as +380 V for positive ion and −100 V for negative...

Phase Transitions of Superfluid 3He in 0.8-μm Slab Geometry
We have studied superfluid 3 He in 0.8 μm slab geometry by cw-NMR method. The static magnetic field for NMR was 22 mT and was perpendicularly applied to the surface. At pressure...
