Introduction: This retrospective study investigated the concurrence rate and clinical characteristics of recently developed malignancies with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Materials and Methods: The subjects included 42 Japanese MPA cases (16 males and 26 females) that had been newly admitted to the hospital. Recent occurrences of malignancy (defined as malignancies diagnosed upon admission a...

In this article we investigate two-level split-plot designs where the sub-plots consist of only two mirror image trials. Assuming third and higher order interactions negligible, we show that these designs divide the estimated effects into two orthogonal sub-spaces, separating sub-plot main effects and sub-plot by whole-plot interactions from the rest. Further we show how to construct split-plot...

background: due to the attribution of fatty liver with some chronic diseases such as obesity, finding a way to control obesity can be useful for the management of fatty liver. this study was performed to assess the effects of plantago psyllium (pp) and ocimum basilicum (ob) on anthropometric measurements in people with hepatic steatosis. methods: all patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disea...

Leptin improves insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. Our goal was to determine whether proteins controlling GLUT4 traffic are altered by leptin deficiency and in vivo leptin administration in skeletal muscle of wild type and ob/ob mice. Leptin-deficient ob/ob mice were divided in three groups: control, leptin-treated (1 mg/kg/d) and leptin pair-fed ob/ob mice. Microarray analysis revealed th...
