Distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac resection for locally advanced pancreas carcinoma.
Atsushi Nanashima,Takafumi Abo,Tetsuro Tomonaga,Akiko Fukuda,Masaki Kunizaki,Kazuo To,Hiroaki Takeshita,Shigekazu Hidaka,Takeshi Nagayasu,Ichiro Sakamoto +9 more
TL;DR: This work applied a radical operation called "distal pancreatectomy with en bloc celiac resection (DP-CAR)" three times in two patients with pancreatic body carcinomas, in which combined vascular resection was necessary.

Down-regulation of AMP-activated protein kinase by calorie restriction in rat liver
Kazuo To,Haruyoshi Yamaza,Toshimitsu Komatsu,Takahiro Hayashida,Hiroko Hayashi,Hiroaki Toyama,Takuya Chiba,Yoshikazu Higami,Isao Shimokawa +8 more
TL;DR: The present results suggest that CR down-regulates the AMPK activity in the liver on a long-term basis.

Involvement of insulin-like growth factor-1 in the effect of caloric restriction: regulation of plasma adiponectin and leptin
Haruyoshi Yamaza,Toshimitsu Komatsu,Kazuo To,Hiroaki Toyama,Takuya Chiba,Yoshikazu Higami,Isao Shimokawa +6 more
TL;DR: The similarity of phenotypes and adipokine responses to rhIGF-1 between CR and Tg rats supports a role for reduced IGF-1 signaling in the CR effect.
E-PASS score as a useful predictor of postoperative complications and mortality after colorectal surgery in elderly patients
Tetsuro Tominaga,Hiroaki Takeshita,Katsunori Takagi,Masaki Kunizaki,Kazuo To,Takafumi Abo,Shigekazu Hidaka,Atsushi Nanashima,Takeshi Nagayasu,Terumitsu Sawai +9 more
TL;DR: The E-PASS score system was a useful predictor of postoperative complications and mortality, especially in patients with advanced age.

A transgenic dwarf rat model as a tool for the study of calorie restriction and aging.
Haruyoshi Yamaza,Toshimitsu Komatsu,Takuya Chiba,Hiroaki Toyama,Kazuo To,Yoshikazu Higami,Isao Shimokawa +6 more
TL;DR: The transgenic rat model is a useful one for studies of CR and aging, and the presence of both common and separate mechanisms regulating the glucose-insulin system between CR and the reduced GH-IGF-1 axis paradigms is suggested.
