When myocardial infarction, also known as cerebral infarction, occurs, so-called ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in which blood flow temporarily stops and resumes. In other words, when the blood flow stops, the oxygen supply to the tissue is cut off, and the tissue becomes hypoxic. As the blood flow resumes, oxygen is rapidly supplied, causing oxidative stress […]

The liver is the largest organ in the human body, a well-known fact. Hence, it is highly susceptible to damage because massive blood vessels such as the hepatic artery, portal vein, and hepatic vein run densely. Therefore, the injury mainly includes significant bleeding. As the liver is vulnerable, there is a high risk of hemorrhagic […]
Burkitt lymphoma is a type of tumor that is the fastest-growing tumor in humans. The endemic type of Burkitt lymphomas is common in Africa and often manifests as swelling of the mandible (jaw bone) or facial bone. In sporadic (non-African) Burkitt lymphomas, abdominal lesions dominate, often originating from the ileocecal valve or the mesentery area. […]

These nations are known for various tuberculosis cases, especially high rates of Tuberculosis in large cities and prisons, with half of all illnesses in Peru, Brazil, and Mexico. Therefore, we have to prepare […]
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium discovered in the 1980s that commonly inhabits the stomach and causes damage to the mucous membranes. Helicobacter pylori are closely related to the development of gastric ulcers (gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers). It is believed that infection with Helicobacter pylori causes atrophic gastritis, which leads to gastric cancer. This condition […]
Asthma is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease that affects the lungs’ airways. It is usually characterized by an influx of inflammatory cells followed by airway obstruction and hypersensitivity. Excessive secretion of mucus. The classic form of asthma is mediated by T helper cell type 2 (Th2) cells and is characterized by eosinophil inflammation and immunoglobulin (Ig) […]
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood. Blood cells include red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells, and the process by which these blood cells are made in the bone marrow, including the issue most often with white blood cells, leads to cancer. Cancerous cells (leukemia cells) proliferate in the bone marrow and occupy […]
Proliferative vitreous retinopathy (PVR) is a condition that is worsened, by retinal detachment. In this condition, the neural retina is detached from the retinal pigment epithelial cells, and diabetic retinopathy leads to abnormalities in the retina’s blood vessels due to hyperglycemia. If retinal detachment or diabetic retinopathy persists for a long time, or if the […]
It has become evident that an individual’s immune response is significantly involved in cancer development and treatment prognosis. Cancer treatment using the tumor immune response mechanism is rapidly advancing in Japan and most countries. Hence, in this blog, I would like to share sturdy on the function of vaccine therapy (CUA) on the immune response […]
Bile duct cancer is a highly malignant form of cancer. It begins in the bile duct epithelial cells inside and outside the liver and is also known as Cholangiocarcinoma. Although the incidence of bile duct cancer is low in many countries, it has been reported that the incidence is high in Southeast Asian countries, especially […]
