The first Sino-Japanese symposium on Coagulation, Fibrinolysis and Platelets, originating from the Hamamatsu symposium, held in early 1990, was held in Hanchow, Mainland China in October, 1990. During that meeting, Taipei was selected as the next meeting place. We took great pleasure in carrying out this noble endeavor and were honored to have Professor Stenflo, Professor Hedner from Sweden, Professor Aoki and many other distinguished scientists from Japan joining us on this Second Sino-Japanese symposium. Our only regret was that our friends from Mainland China did not attend. The topics covered during the 3-day symposium included areas of both basic and clinical research. The symposium has...
Contributors to this book have reviewed research from the fields of metabolic syndromes in view of their own research. The chapters cover the neural mechanisms of food intake and proposed factors related to obesity. The influences of the intake of sugar and lipids are also discussed. The relationships between cancer and venous thromboembolism in connection with obesity are discussed. Omega (ω) fatty acids and trans-fatty acids are risks of cardiovascular diseases. Comparison of plasma levels of trans-fatty acids indicated that industrially produced trans-fatty acids are higher in American than Japanese men. Hopefully, the book provides information that readers want to obtain in the fields of food intake and metabolic syndromes.
The psychology of eating is regulated by neural mechanisms. When not well controlled, eating may result in disorders and health hazards such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and vascular diseases. Lifestyles and cultures influence eating habits, thus there are differences in the prevalence of health problems depending upon living environments. This book examines the psychology and the pathophysiological outcomes of eating. Chapters address such topics as the influence of lifestyle, circadian rhythm, sleep, and fragrant odors on appetite and weight regulation; the impact of glucose, sucrose, lactate, and ketone bodies on the brain; the consequences of glycation stress on the skeletal muscle; and much more.
Present research on the relationship between thrombosis and circulation is collected in this volume. Basic and clinical studies of thrombosis, fibrinolysis and platelets are reported. In particular, new proteins found in leeches or snakes which might be used to treat or prevent thrombosis are discussed.
Hardbound. Great progress has been made recently in basic and clinical research aspects of thrombosis and fibrinolysis. This progress has implications not only in haemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions, but also in such widely diverse clinical conditions as atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, tumor growth/metastasis, pregnancy etc. Procedures employed in this research include not only new biochemical approaches but also novel procedures in molecular biology which involve gene neutralisation, manipulation and transfection. In view of such new developments, the organisers thought it timely to have an International Symposium dealing with blood coagulation and fibrinolysis involving international experts and Japanese scientists. This book documents the proceedings and is beneficial to those wishing to update their information on this very important clinical area.
This work contains contributions on the progress of serotonin research. On the central nervous system, papers deal with topics such as 5-HT receptors and animal models of anxiety; in the periphery, the roles of 5-HT and effects of antagonists of 5-HT receptors in the circulation are presented.
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
