Murakami D, Jinnai H, Takahara A.
PMID: 24494786
Langmuir. 2014 Mar 04;30(8):2061-7. doi: 10.1021/la4049067. Epub 2014 Feb 18.

The wetting transition from the Cassie-Baxter state to the Wenzel state on textured surfaces was investigated. Nano- to microscale hexagonal pillared lattices were prepared by nanoimprint lithography on fluorinated cycloolefin polymer substrates. The transition was clearly observed for water...

Chronic estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats attenuates food intake and enhances c-Fos expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), specifically during the light phase.

Current Status of Robot-Assisted Radical Cystectomy: What is the Real Benefit?.

Yonago acta medica

Takenaka A.
PMID: 26538795
Yonago Acta Med. 2015 Sep;58(3):95-9. Epub 2015 Oct 14.

In recent years, robot-assisted radical cystectomy has received attention worldwide as a useful procedure that helps to overcome the limitations of open radical cystectomy. We compared the surgical technique, perioperative and oncological outcomes, and learning curve of robot-assisted radical...

Blood brain barrier permeability of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, its proliferation-enhancing activity of human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, and its preventive effect on age-related cognitive dysfunction in mice.

Biochemistry and biophysics reports

Pervin M, Unno K, Nakagawa A, Takahashi Y, Iguchi K, Yamamoto H, Hoshino M, Hara A, Takagaki A, Nanjo F, Minami A, Imai S, Nakamura Y.
PMID: 28956003
Biochem Biophys Rep. 2017 Jan 05;9:180-186. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2016.12.012. eCollection 2017 Mar.

BACKGROUND: The consumption of green tea catechins (GTCs) suppresses age-related cognitive dysfunction in mice. GTCs are composed of several catechins, of which epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant, followed by epigallocatechin (EGC). Orally ingested EGCG is hydrolyzed by...
