Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Galcetin-9 (Gal-9) was measured using Thai malaria patient plasma. In malaria, the Gal - 9 value increased markedly at hospitalization in both severe and mild cases. Also, the former was significantly higher than the latter, indicating Gal-9 reflects the severity of malaria. Proteomics analysis of patient urine was performed in leptospirosis, a disaster infectious disease, and it was reported for the first time that Defensin alpha 1 was present in the urine. The involvement of neutrophils were implicated in pathogenesis. In the context of weather, Manila rained in May after dengue and lept occurred, revealed that not only rain but temperature and humidity are involved in the epidemics of the diseases. We also reported the rise in Osteopontin (OPN), using plasma from tuberculosis patients in Manila and Indonesia. The rise of OPN, iP10 and neutrophils were the most remarkable changes.
