Curvature and Gravity Actions for Matrix Models II: the case of general Poisson structure [PDF]

, 2010
We study the geometrical meaning of higher-order terms in matrix models of Yang-Mills type in the semi-classical limit, generalizing recent results arXiv:1003.4132 to the case of 4-dimensional space-time geometries with general Poisson structure.

Incidence and Characteristics of HBV Reactivation‐Related Events Following HBsAg Seroclearance: Long‐Term Follow‐up of a Population‐Based Cohort in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
In a population‐based cohort in Japan, HBV reactivation‐related events were observed after HBsAg seroclearance, including one virologically confirmed hepatic flare occurring spontaneously without chemotherapy or immunosuppression. These findings indicate that HBsAg seroclearance does not always represent complete viral eradication, supporting the need ...

T‐ and B‐cell responses and previous exposure to hepatitis B virus in ‘anti‐HBc alone’ patients

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2015
SummaryA serologic response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) defined as ‘anti‐HBc alone’ is commonly observed, but its significance remains unclear. This study aimed to define the relationship between ‘anti‐HBc alone’ serostatus and HBV infection, including HBV‐specific T‐ and B‐cell memory responses. We enrolled 31 ‘anti‐HBc alone’ patients.

Suppression of Indoleamine 2,3‐Dioxygenase Enhances Immune Responses to the Therapeutic Vaccine for Chronic Hepatitis B

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase (IDO) activity modulates immune responses to the therapeutic HBV vaccine NASVAC. Genetic or pharmacological suppression of IDO enhanced vaccine efficacy in mice, and lower serum kynurenine levels predicted favorable responses in humans, suggesting IDO as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker.

Toward a Functional Cure for Chronic Hepatitis B: Current Landscape and Future Directions in Japan

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
Hepatitis B is a viral liver infection that can become chronic, increasing the risk of developing liver cancer and liver failure. Because current treatments rarely cure these problems, researchers are now focusing on a functional cure in which the virus becomes undetectable in blood and stays that way, even after the treatment ends.

An Action for Black Hole Membranes [PDF]

, 1997
The membrane paradigm is the remarkable view that, to an external observer, a black hole appears to behave exactly like a dynamical fluid membrane, obeying such pre-relativistic equations as Ohm's law and the Navier-Stokes equation.
