Haruhiko Nukaya,Tomoyoshi Ohno,Kenji Sakakibara,Atunaga Kato,Izumi Hasegawa,Seijiro Matunaga,Masayuki Endo,Yoshito Tanaka,Noboru Hirashima,Yasuhito Tanaka,Etsuro Orito,Takashi Joh,Masashi Mizokami +12 more
TL;DR: This study investigates the efficacy of recombinant α‐2b interferon as a single, 10 MU intramuscular injection for preventing transmission of hepatitis C virus following blood exposure accidents.
Changes in serum lipid profiles caused by three regimens of interferon-free direct-acting antivirals for patients infected with hepatitis C virus
Takako Inoue,Takaaki Goto,Etsuko Iio,Kayoko Matsunami,Kei Fujiwara,Noboru Shinkai,Kentaro Matsuura,Takeshi Matsui,Shunsuke Nojiri,Yasuhito Tanaka +9 more
TL;DR: Serum low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) increases during treatment of chronic hepatitis C with interferon‐free direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs), and changes of serum lipid profiles caused by three regimens are compared.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fully automated, high-sensitivity hepatitis B core-related antigen assay (iTACT-HBcrAg) has been developed for monitoring chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and for the early detection of HBV reactivation.
Detection of Anti-Hepatitis C Virus Effects of Interferon and Ribavirin by a Sensitive Replicon System

TL;DR: An accurate and sensitive replicon system is developed, and the antivirus effect of interferon and ribavirin was easily detected within their clinical concentrations by this replicons system, and this system will provide a powerful tool for screening new antiviral compounds against HCV.
Predictors of Postoperative Finger Stiffness in Unstable Proximal Phalangeal Fractures
Tadanobu Onishi,Shohei Omokawa,Takamasa Shimizu,Ryotaro Fujitani,Koji Shigematsu,Yasuhito Tanaka +5 more
TL;DR: Postoperative finger stiffness after open reduction and internal fixation of unstable proximal phalangeal fractures using a low-profile plate and/or screw system is recommended using a midlateral approach.
