Whole-genome sequence analysis of mutations in rice plants regenerated from zygotes, mature embryos, and immature embryos Open
Somaclonal variation was studied by whole-genome sequencing in rice plants (Oryza sativa L., 'Nipponbare') regenerated from the zygotes, mature embryos, and immature embryos of a single mother plant. The mother plant and its seed-pr…

P4‐16: Swallowing dysfunction in patients with chronic respiratory disease Open
tomography (HRCT) of the thorax showed diffuse illdefined ground glass centrilobular densities scattered in both lung fields with no zonal predominance.A diagnosis of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) induced acute pneumonitis was made.He wa…

THE EVIL UNLEASHED FROM PANDORA'S BOX: PANDORAEA APISTA COLONIZATION IN A PATIENT WITH LUNG ADENOCARCINOMA Open
Background and Aims: Sepsis is a frequent fatal complication of pneumonia.The quickSOFA score (qSOFA) is mortality predictor in critical patients.The Hour-1 bundle is recommended as the first reference for sepsis determination which is ser…

Age is an independent predictor in pathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis: a retrospective analysis of diagnosis by endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration Open
The diagnostic yield of sarcoidosis by EBUS-TBNA was higher in younger than older patients. Therefore, age may be a novel independent predictor for the pathological diagnosis of sarcoidosis by EBUS-TBNA.

Evaluation of Physical Activity in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Using an Accelerometer with Tapestry-Style Display Capability Open
Objective: Reduced physical activity (PA) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The HT-PB3 is a triaxial accelerometer with long-term recording and tapestry-display output capabili…

Protein-losing Enteropathy Caused by Intestinal or Colonic Lymphangiectasia Complicated by Sporadic Lymphangioleiomyomatosis: A Report of Two Cases Open
This report describes two patients with sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis complicated by protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). Imaging studies indicated retroperitoneal lymphangioleiomyomas and abnormalities of the adjacent digestive tract. En…

Effects of transdermal tulobuterol on dyspnea and respiratory function during exercise in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Open
In conclusion, we found that treatment with transdermal tulobuterol for 4 weeks improved self-assessed dyspnea in Japanese COPD patients during constant and incremental exercise tests. This improvement in dyspnea may encourage patients to …
