This paper proposes a dual-conduction class-C CMOS VCO for ultra-low supply voltages.
Two cross-coupled NMOS pairs with different bias points are employed, which realize …

Background/Aim: Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a central role in the development of
pancreatic fibrosis. In chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic tissue pressure is higher than that of …

Objective: Hyperglycemia is implicated in fibrosis in many organs. Exocrine and endocrine
pancreas are closely linked both anatomically and physiologically, and pathological …

Background Activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play a central role in the
pathogenesis of pancreatic fibrogenesis and inflammation. Ethanol, a major cause of …

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays important roles in various pathophysiological
processes. However, the role of the RAS in pancreatic fibrosis has not been established. We …

Sigmoidoscopy with a spray of 0.1% indigocarmine was performed on 20 patients with
Crohn's disease whose main lesions were located proximal to the transverse colon and on …

We demonstrate 112Gb/s transmission using PM-QPSK format and FPGA-based real-time
digital signal processing. By employing framed processing architecture for polarization …

In order to clarify the role of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase [indole: oxygen 2, 3-
oxidoreductase (decyclizing), EC 1.13. 11.17] in the metabolism of serotonin, DL-5-hydroxy …

Objectives: To elucidate the role of transforming growth factor (TGF) β1 and extracellular
matrix (ECM) after acute necrotizing pancreatitis, we studied the regulation of TGF-β1 and …

Heavy steel plates are required to have increasingly advanced and diversified functions,
and in response, the two forerunners of Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation …
