Elderly Diabetic Patients with Effective Add-on Therapy of Dulaglutide as a GLP-1 Receptor Analogue (GLP-1 RA)
Yozo Takehisa and Hiroshi Bando
Abstract
Background: For diabetic treatment, Dulaglutide has been used and effective as a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor analogue (GLP-1 RA). This report is to describe the various responses and to analyze dulaglutide administration in the elderly with DM. Case presentation: Two patients were Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) treated with add-on therap

Pilot study of the SCFA Headspace Analysis of Streptococcus mutans Metabolites in Media with and without Polyols
Goudarzi S Habibi, Kabat B, Cannon M, Gashkoff M and Zurek R
Abstract
This pilot study of Streptococcus mutans ATCC 35668 grown in media with and without polyols (erythritol) measured the resultant metabolites, including the Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) by using head space analysis. Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHI2 or BHI10) supplemented with 2% or 10% sucrose containing no polyols or either erythritol or xylit

A Trial of Analysis Method for Insulin Secretion Response to Carbohydrate Loading
Hiroshi Bando, Koji Ebe, Mayumi Hashimoto, Masahiro Bando and Tetsuo Muneta
Abstract
Authors et al. have continued diabetic practice and research for long, and started Low Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) first in Japan. We developed social LCD movement by Japanese LCD Promotion Association (JLCDPA), and proposed petite-, standard-, super LCDs with carbohydrate 40%, 26%, 12%, respectively. Methods included 9 healthy medical staffs and t

Evaluation of Food Specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG)-Guided Exclusion Diet in the Treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Inflammatory Bowel disease
Abstract
From the beginning of this century, symptomatic improvements in different disorders with food specific immunoglobulin G (IgG)-guided exclusion diet have been reported. Most of them belong to gastrointestinal tract such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although this diet has given a chance of symptomatic i

Virucidal Activities of Zinc-Finger Antiviral Proteins and Zinc-Binding Domains for Virus Entry, DNA/RNA Replication and Spread
Tsuneo Ishida
Abstract
The novel EBV (Epstein-Barr virus)-induced ZNFEB including its intronless locus and human protein variants, controls virus entry and exit from cell cycling in activated lymphocytes. ZNF ZCCHC3 binds RNA and facilitates viral RNA that is critical for RLR-mediated innate immune response to RNA virus. ZAP (Zinc-Finger Antiviral Protein) inhibits e

Investigation into Gluten Metabolizing Bacterial Species and their Inhibition
Cannon Mark, Kabat B, Yogev R, Awan A, Jantra L and Vorachek A
Abstract
Environmental sources and domestic pets’ oral microbiomes were sampled for the presence of gluten metabolizing bacteria. Isolated bacteria were grown on gluten agar and challenged with Over The Counter (OTC) oral hygiene products and bacterial antagonistic bacteriocins to discover strains of gluten metabolizing bacteria that could potentiall
