An increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol after weight loss intervention is associated with long-term maintenance of reduced visceral abdominal fat

It is generally agreed that excess abdominal fat, in particular visceral abdominal fat (VAF), is related to an increased risk for obesity-related complications. We examined the association between metabolic ri...

The percentage of myeloperoxidase-positive blast cells is a strong independent prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia, even in the patients with normal karyotype

To examine whether the percentage of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive blast cells is useful as a prognostic factor for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), cytochemical analysis of MPO was performed in 491 patients who...

Chemotherapy targeting methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) deficiency in adult T cell leukemia (ATL)

Methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) is an important enzyme used for the salvage of adenine and methionine. Cells lacking this enzyme are expected to be sensitive to purine synthesis inhibitors and/or meth...
