Japanese to English: 化粧料スプレー 成分表
Source text - Japanese ポリクオタニウム-51 保湿 "日本油脂原料：リピジュア
細胞膜を構成するリン脂質を多数結合させてつくった高分子のポリマー。ヒアルロン酸の２倍の保湿力があり、肌へ塗布後に水洗いしても水分保持能力がヒアルロン酸を大きく上回ります。リピジュアは人工血管の内側に使用するために開発された高分子素材なので、皮膚への刺激は少ないため乾燥肌や敏感肌向けのスキンケア製品、ボディケア製品に使用されています。"
Translation - English Polyquaternium--51 Moisturizing "Nippon Oil & Fats substance: Lipidure
A polymer created by combining a large number of phospholipids that constitute the cell membrane. It has twice the moisturizing power of hyaluronic acid, and once applied to the skin offers much greater moisture retention, even when rinsed. Since Lipidure was developed for use inside artificial blood vessels, there is little irritation to the skin, meaning it can be used in skincare and body care products for dry or sensitive skin. "

Translation - English Relationship between smoking habit and dilation of the main pancreatic duct: Cross-sectional multivariate analysis in the participants at annual health examination
Abstract
Background & Objectives
According to demographic statistics from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in 2016, pancreatic cancer was the fourth leading cause of death, next to lung, colon, and stomach cancer, with 30,000 deaths annually. Although abdominal ultrasound (US) is regarded as problematic for its low rate of pancreatic cancer detection and low cost effectiveness, it is recommended as a test for discovering pancreatic cancer in Japan’s “Clinical Practice Guidelines for Pancreatic Cancer”, and dilation of the main pancreatic duct (MPD) is indicated as an important indirect method of finding pancreatic cancer. Here, factors related to MPD dilation were investigated in participants at health examinations using Ningen Dock.
Methods
Of 124, 454 Ningen Dock health examination patients who received consultation, BMI, blood pressure and blood tests, and abdominal ultrasounds on the same dates during the three years from 2012 to 2014, 3,357 were excluded for poor pancreatic imaging and 60,705 as duplicates, for a total of 60, 397 patients. For duplicate patients, data from the latest examination was used. We investigated using a multivariate analysis separated by sex with smoking, age, drinking habits, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and LDL-C as independent variables, and with MPD dilation, defined as maximum MPD diameter dilation greater than 2mm, as the endpoint. Smoking habits were categorized into nonsmokers, former smokers, and smokers, and were further classified according to the Brinkman Index as BI < 400, 400-599, 600-799, and greater than 800. Statistical software used was SPSS (ver. 21.0 for Windows).
Results
MPD dilation was found in 343 patients (0.57%). The multivariate analysis did not find any association for male or female nonsmokers or smokers with BI < 400. In men, smokers (BI: 400-599, 600-799, >800) were found to have a positive association respectively (OR: 2.83, 4.31, 1.99) compared to nonsmokers. In women, smokers (BI: 600-799) were found to have a positive association (OR: 7.23).
Conclusion
This study demonstrated a significant association between smoking habit and MPD dilation. Because MPD dilation may be associated with pancreatic cancer, thorough screening using abdominal ultrasound is necessary for smokers.

I am a Japanese to English translator who has been living in Yokohama, Japan, for the past 9 years. I have obtained the N1 on the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
My areas of specialty are tourism, cosmetics, menus, medicine, and science. I am especially interested in further enhancing my skills in medical and scientific translation and welcome this kind of work in particular; however, I consider myself a lifelong learner and am interested in and willing to research any topic. Previous translation projects have spanned a wide variety of document types and topics, including a syllabus for a prosthetic and orthotics course at a university, an application for the expansion of a World Heritage site, seasonal menus at an upscale restaurant, the website of a hotel chain, and more.
It is my aim to meet the client’s needs, and to this end I strive to be flexible and reliable as a translator.
