<Case Report> Three Indonesian Cases of Intraperitoneal Development of Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Possibly Disseminated by Spontaneous Tumor Rupture

Abstract: We report 3 Indonesian patients with intraperitonial tumor development possibly caused by spontaneous rupture of hdpatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Each case presented with expansively growing nodular metastatic tumors and all nodules were surgically removed in each case. The first case upderwent lateral segmentectomy in Shanghai, while the second and third cases underwent liver resection for primary HCC in YMU hospital. Although the first case had seven intraperitoneal tumors, ranging from approximately 1 to 6 cm in maximal diameter, together with skin metastasis, the other two cases had a large solitary tumor, covered by the greater omentum; the tumors measured 6.5 cm and 13 cm in maximal diameter, respectively. In the third case, there were no intrahepatic metastases detected. Since this kind of recurrence pattern is very rare among Japanese HCC patients, we report these 3 cases and discuss the present findings on the distribution of HCC recurrence patterns in Japan.journal articl

The Effect of COVID-19 on the Transit System in Two Regions: Japan and USA

The communication revolution that happened in the last ten years has increased the use of technology in the transportation world. Intelligent Transportation Systems wish to predict how many buses are needed in a transit system. With the pandemic effect that the world has faced since early 2020, it is essential to study the impact of the pandemic on the transit system. This paper proposes the leverage of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to predict the number of bus ridership before and during the pandemic. We compare the collected data from Kobe city, Hyogo, Japan, with data gathered from a college city in Virginia, USA. Our goal is to show the effect of the pandemic on ridership through the year 2020 in two different countries. The ultimate goal is to help transit system managers predict how many buses are needed if another pandemic hits.conference pape

Space Charge Behaviors near the Interface between Different Low-Density Polyethylenes

We investigated the space charge behaviors near the interface between different low-density polyethylenes (LDPE) by using the PEA method. Charge carriers were mainly injected from the semicon electrode in a specimen of Al/LDPE/LDPE/LDPE/semicon and they moved through the interface to the counter Al electrode. Charge carriers moving from LDPE of a lower density to LDPE of a higher one were accumulated near the interface to form space charge, while there was no space charge accumulation for carriers moving in the opposite direction. It suggests that charge carriers are more mobile in LDPE of a lower density. The mobilities of charge carriers were also estimated from the change in space charge profile with time and positive carriers were more mobile in LDPE than negative ones. These space charge behaviors were discussed compared with the results of DC conduction.journal articl

Further proteins adding to the pathway are the now confirmed ferredoxin (Bfl 480), Bfl 573 (NifU-like protein; previously conserved hypothetical) as well as beta-cystathionase (Bfl067)

Important predicted catalytic residues outline the substrate cleft. These are His 130, Arg 180, Glu 217 and Arg 281 of Bfl341 corresponding to His 148, Arg 196, Glu 212, and Arg 274 in the template structure (four from five conserved residues known for the family and those checked from by mutagenesis to be important for catalysis in vitro [24]). Kajander et al. [24] did not know yet the accurate molecular function of the structure they solved. However, regarding the high sequence similarity of Bfl341 (38% identical, 57% similar residues) to recently characterized Pgl protein [25], the actual activity of Bfl341 we now predict to be a 6-phosphogluconolactonase
