Open AccessPhase I/II study of sequential therapy with irinotecan and S-1 for metastatic colorectal cancer
Both irinotecan (CPT-11) and S-1 are active against colorectal cancer; however, as S-1 is a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), 5-FU and its metabolites might inhibit the antitumour effect of CPT-11. Therefore, ...

Role of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons in receptive relaxation induced by gastric distension in rats
We investigated the role of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons in receptive relaxation of the rat stomach in response to distension. Under urethane anesthesia, a balloon with barostat was inserted through th...
