| 1 | Noninvasive estimation of liver fibrosis and response to interferon therapy by a serum fibrogenesis marker, YKL-40, in patients with HCV-associated liver disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the clinical utility of serum fibrosis markers,including YKL-40, in patients with HCV-associated liver disease.METHODS: A total of 109 patients with HCV-associated liver disease were enrolled. We measured serum type Ⅳ collagen, amino-terminal peptide of type Ⅲ procollagen (PⅢP),hyaluronic acid (HA), YKL-40 levels and biochemical.Parameters by RIA or ELISA. Eighty-eight patients underwent liver biopsy, and 67 of 109 patients received interferon (IFN)therapy. We also investigated the relationship between the concentrations of serum fibrosis markers and histological fibrosis scores (METAVIR), and evaluated the changes of the levels of fibrosis markers before and after the IFN therapy.RESULTS: The increase in serum levels of all markers,particularly HA, was correlated with the progression of liver fibrosis (for type Ⅳ collagen, F= 9.076, P<0.0001; for PⅢP,F= 9.636, P<0.0001; for HA, F= 13.128, P<0.0001; and for YKL-40, F= 8.016, P<0.0001). YKL-40 had strong correlation with HA (r= 0.536, P<0.0001). Based on the receiver operating curve (ROC), the ability of serum HA exceeded the abilities of other serum markers to determine fibrosis score 4 from fibrosis score 0-3 (AUC = 0.854). While YKL-40 was superior to other fibrosis markers for predicting severe fibrosis (F2-F4) from mild fibrosis (F0-F1) (YKL-40, AUC = 0.809;HA, AUC = 0.805). After IFN therapy, only YKL-40 values significantly decreased not only in the responder group,but also in the nonresponder group (P = 0.03).CONCLUSION: YKL-40 may be a useful non-invasive serum marker to estimate the degree of liver fibrosis and to evaluate the efficacy of IFN therapies in patients with HCV-associated liver disease. | Yukiko Saitou Katsuya Shiraki Yutaka Yamanaka Yumi Yamaguchi Tomoyuki Kawakita Norihiko Yamamoto Kazushi Sugimoto Kazumoto Murata Takeshi Nakano | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,4: | 21 |
| 2 | Portal hypertensive colopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis显示文摘AIM: In patients with liver cirrhosis and porlal hypertension, portal hypertensive colopathy is thought to be an important cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of colonic mucosal changes in patients with liver cirrhosis and its clinical significance. METHODS: We evaluated the colonoscopic findings and liver function of 47 patients with liver cirrhosis over a 6-year period. The main cause of liver cirrhosis was post-viral hepatitis (68%) related to hepatitis B (6%) or C (62%)infection. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to examine the presence of esophageal varices, cardiac varices, and congestive gastropathy, as well as a full colonoscopy to observe changes in colonic mucosa. Portal hypertensive colopathy was defined endoscopically in patients with vascular ectasia, redness, and blue vein. Vascular ectasia was classified into two types: type 1, solitary vascular ectasia; and type 2, diffuse vascular ectasia.RESULTS: Overall portal hypertensive colopathy was present in 31 patients (66%), including solitary vascular ectasia in 17 patients (36%), diffuse vascular ectasia in 20 patients (42%), redness in 10 patients (21%) and blue vein in 6 patients (12%). As the Child-Pugh class increased in severity, the prevalence of portal hypertensive colopathy rose. Child-Pugh class B and C were significantly associated with portal hypertensive colopathy. Portal hypertensive gastropathy, esophageal varices, ascites and hepatocellular carcinoma were not related to occurrence of portal hypertensive colopathy. Platelet count was significantly associated with portal hypertensive colopathy, but prothrombin time, serum albumin level, total bilirubin level and serum ALT level were not related to occurrence of portal hypertensive colopathy. CONCLUSION: As the Child-Pugh class worsens and platelet count decreases, the prevalence of portal hypertensive colopathy increases in patients with liver cirrhosis. A colonoscopic examination in patients with liver cirrhosis is indicated, especially those with worsening Child-Pugh class and/or decreasing platelet count, to prevent complications such as lower gastrointestinal bleeding. | Keiichi Ito Katsuya Shiraki Takahisa Sakai Hitoshi Yoshimura Takeshi Nakano | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,20: | 19 |
| 3 | STI571 (Glivec) suppresses the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line,GIST-T1显示文摘AIM:To estimate whether STI571 inhibits the expressionof vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in thegastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)cells.METHODS:We used GIST cell line,GIST-T1.It hasa heterogenic 57-bp deletion in exon 11 to produce amutated c-KIT,which results in constitutive activationof c-KIT.Cells were treated with/without STI571 orstem cell factor(SCF).Transcription and expression ofVEGF were determined by RT-PCR and flow cytometryor Western blotting,respectively.Activated c-KIT wasestimated by immunoprecipitation analysis.Cell viabilitywas determined by MTT assay.RESULTS:Activation of c-KIT was inhibited bySTI571 treatment.VEGF was suppressed at both thetranscriptional and translational levels in a temporal anddose-dependent manner by STI571.SCF upregulatedthe expression of VEGF and it was inhibited by STI571.STI571 also reduced the cell viability of the GIST-T1cells,as determined by MTT assay.CONCLUSION:Activation of c-KIT in the GIST-T1regulated the expression of VEGF and it was inhibited bySTI571.STI571 has antitumor effects on the GIST cellswith respect to not only the inhibition of cell growth,butalso the suppression of VEGF expression. | Toufeng Jin Hajime Nakatani Takahiro Taguchi Takumi Nakano Takehiro Okabayashi Takeki Sugimoto Michiya Kobayashi Keijiro Araki | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,5: | 14 |
| 4 | First-line eradication for Helicobacter pylori-positive gastritis by esomeprazole-based triple therapy is influenced by CYP2C19 genotype显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effect of first line esomeprazole(EPZ)-based triple therapy on Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) eradication.METHODS: A total of 80 Japanese patients with gastritis who were diagnosed as positive for H. pylori infection by endoscopic biopsy-based or ^(13)C-urea breath tests were included in this study. The average age of the patients was 57.2 years(male/female, 42/38). These patients were treated by first-line eradication therapy with EPZ 40 mg/d, amoxicillin 1500 mg/d, and clarithromycin 400 mg/d for 7 d. All drugs were given twice per day. Correlations between H. pylori eradication, CYP2C19 genotype, and serum pepsinogen(PG) level were analyzed. This study was registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry(UMIN000009642).RESULTS: The H. pylori eradication rates by EPZbased triple therapy evaluated by intention-to-treat and per protocol were 67.5% and 68.4%, respectively, which were similar to triple therapies with other first-generation proton pump inhibitors(PPIs). The eradication rates in three different CYP2C19 genotypes, described as extensive metabolizer(EM), intermediate metabolizer, and poor metabolizer, were 52.2%, 72.1%, and 84.6%, respectively. The H. pylori eradication rate was significantly lower in EM than non-EM(P < 0.05). The serum PG?Ⅰ?level and PG?Ⅰ/Ⅱ ratio were significantly increased after eradication of H. pylori(P < 0.01), suggesting that gastric atrophy was improved by H. pylori eradication. Thus, first-line eradication by EPZbased triple therapy for patients with H. pylori-positive gastritis was influenced by CYP2C19 genotype, and the eradication rate was on the same level with other firstgeneration PPIs in the Japanese population.CONCLUSION: The results from this study suggest that there is no advantage to EPZ-based triple therapy on H. pylori eradication compared to other firstgeneration PPIs. | Yoshimasa Saito Hiroshi Serizawa Yukako Kato Masaru Nakano Masahiko Nakamura Hidetsugu Saito Hidekazu Suzuki Takanori Kanai | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,48: | 13 |
| 5 | Functional expression of a proliferation-related ligand in hepatocellular carcinoma and its implications for neovascularization显示文摘AIM: To detect the expression of a proliferation-related ligand on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines (SK-Hep1, HLE and HepG2) and in culture medium.METHODS: APRIL expression was analyzed by Western blotting in HCC cell lines. Effects of APRIL to cell count and angiogenesis were analyzed, too.RESULTS: Recombinant human APRIL (rhAPRIL) increased cell viability of HepG2 cells and, in HUVEC, rhAPRIL provided slight tolerance to cell death from serum starvation. Soluble APRIL (sAPRIL) from HLE cells increased after serum starvation, but did not change in SK-Hep1 or HepG2 cells. These cells showed down-regulation of VEGF after incubation with anti-APRIL antibody.Furthermore, culture medium from the HCC cells treated with anti-APRIL antibody treatment inhibited tube formation of HUVECs.CONCLUSION: Functional expression of APRIL might contribute to neovascularization via an upregulation of VEGF in HCC. | Hiroshi Okano Katsuya Shiraki Yutaka Yamanaka Hidekazu Inoue Tomoyuki Kawakita Yukiko Saitou Yumi Yamaguchi Naoyuki Enokimura Keiichi Ito Norihiko Yamamoto Kazushi Sugimoto Kazumoto Murata Takeshi Nakano | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,30: | 13 |
| 6 | Effect of in vitro interferon-beta administration on hepatitis C virus in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as a predictive marker of clinical response to interferon treatment for chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM:To test whether in vitro incubation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with interferon (IFN) could efficiently decrease hepatitis C virus-RNA (HCV-RNA) amount and to analyze whether this effect was associated with clinical response to IFN.METHODS:Twenty-seven patients with histologically proven chronic hepatitis C were given intravenous administration of 6 million units (MU) IFN-β daily for 6 weeks followed by three times weekly for 20 weeks. PBMC collected before IFN therapy were incubated with IFN-β and HCV-RNA in PMBC was semi-quantitatively determined.RESULTS: Twenty-five patients completed IFN therapy.Eight patients (32%) had sustained loss of serum HCV-RNA with normal serum ALT levels after IFN therapy (complete responders).HCV-RNA in PBMC was detected in all patients,whereas it was not detected in PBMC from healthy subjects.In vitro administration of IFN-β decreased the amount of HCV-RNA in PMBC in 18 patients (72%). Eight of these patients obtained complete response. On the other hand,none of the patients whose HCV-RNA in PBMC did not decrease by IFN-β was complete responders. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the decrease of HCV-RNA amount in PBMC by IFN-β was the only independent predictor for complete response (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The effect of in vitro IFN-β on HCV in PBMC reflects clinical response and would be taken into account as a predictive marker of IFN therapy for chronic hepatitis C. | Kaori Mochizuki Tatehiro Kagawa Shinji Takashimizu Kazuya Kawazoe Sei-Ichiro Kojima Naruhiko Nagata Atsushi Nakano Yasuhiro Nishizaki Koichi Shiraishi Masaru Itakura Norihito Watanabe Tetsuya Mine Shohei Matsuzaki | 2004 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2004,10,5: | 12 |
| 7 | Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography equipped with late Kupffer-phase image obtained by sonazoid in patients with colorectal liver metastases显示文摘AIM: To find occult metastases during hepatectomy in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM), contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) was performed using a new microbubble agent, sonazoid, which provides a parenchyma-specific contrast image based on its accumulation in the Kupffer cells. METHODS: Eight patients with CRCLM underwent CE- IOUS using sonazoid before hepatectomy. The liver was investigated during a late Kupffer-phase imaging, which is a valuable characteristic of sonazoid. RESULTS: CE-IOUS using sonazoid provided the early vascular- and sinusoidal-phase images for 10 min followed by the late Kupffer-phase image up to 30 min after the injection of sonazoid. IOUS did not provide new findings of metastatic lesion in the 8 patients. However, during the late Kupffer-phase image of sonazoid, a metastatic lesion was newly found in two of the 8 patients. These newly detected lesions were removed by an additional hepatectomy and histopathologically diagnosed as a metastasis. CONCLUSION: CE-IOUS using sonazoid can allow surgeons to investigate the whole liver with enough time and to find new metastases intraoperatively. | Hiroshi Nakano Yasuo Ishida Toshiyuki Hatakeyama Kazuma Sakuraba Masahiro Hayashi Osamu Sakurai Kiyoshi Hataya | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,20: | 10 |
| 8 | Active learning for accelerated design of layered materials显示文摘Hetero-structures made from vertically stacked monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides hold great potential for optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices.Discovery of the optimal layered material for specific applications necessitates the estimation of key material properties,such as electronic band structure and thermal transport coefficients.However,screening of material properties via brute force ab initio calculations of the entire material structure space exceeds the limits of current computing resources.Moreover,the functional dependence of material properties on the structures is often complicated,making simplistic statistical procedures for prediction difficult to employ without large amounts of data collection.Here,we present a Gaussian process regression model,which predicts material properties of an input hetero-structure,as well as an active learning model based on Bayesian optimization,which can efficiently discover the optimal hetero-structure using a minimal number of ab initio calculations.The electronic band gap,conduction/valence band dispersions,and thermoelectric performance are used as representative material properties for prediction and optimization.The Materials Project platform is used for electronic structure computation,while the BoltzTraP code is used to compute thermoelectric properties.Bayesian optimization is shown to significantly reduce the computational cost of discovering the optimal structure when compared with finding an optimal structure by building a regression model to predict material properties.The models can be used for predictions with respect to any material property and our software,including data preparation code based on the Python Materials Genomics(PyMatGen)library as well as python-based machine learning code,is available open source. | Lindsay Bassman Pankaj Rajak Rajiv K.Kalia Aiichiro Nakano Fei Sha Jifeng Sun David J.Singh Muratahan Aykol Patrick Huck Kristin Persson Priya Vashishta | 2018 | npj Computational Materials2018,,1: | 10 |
| 9 | Immunological Effects of Silica and Asbestos显示文摘Silicosis patients(SILs) and patients who have been exposed to asbestos develop not only respiratory diseases but also certain immunological disorders. In particular,SIL sometimes complicates autoimmune diseases such as systemic scleroderma,rheumatoid arthritis(known as Caplan syndrome) ,and systemic lupus erythematoses. In addition,malignant complications such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma often occurr in patients exposed to asbestos,and may be involved in the reduction of tumor immunity. Although silica-induced disorders of autoimmunity have been explained as adjuvant-type effects of silica,more precise analyses are needed and should reflect the recent progress in immunomolecular findings. A brief summary of our investigations related to the immunological effects of silica/asbestos is presented. Recent advances in immunomolecular studies led to detailed analyses of the immunological effects of asbestos and silica. Both affect immuno-competent cells and these effects may be associated with the pathophysiological development of complications in silicosis and asbestos-exposed patients such as the occurrence of autoimmune disorders and malignant tumors,respectively. In addition,immunological analyses may lead to the development of new clinical tools for the modification of the pathophysiological aspects of diseases such as the regulation of autoimmunity or tumor immunity using cell-mediated therapies,various cytokines,and molecule-targeting therapies. In particular,as the incidence of asbestos-related malignancies is increasing and such malignancies have been a medical and social problem since the summer of 2005 in Japan,efforts should be focused on developing a cure for these diseases to eliminate nationwide anxiety. | Takemi Otsuki Megumi Maeda Shuko Murakami Hiroaki Hayashi Yoshie Miura Masayasu Kusaka Takashi Nakano Kazuya Fukuoka Takumi Kishimoto Fuminori Hyodoh Ayako Ueki Yasumitsu Nishimura | 2007 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2007,4,4: | 9 |
| 10 | 基于高光谱成像技术的土壤水分机理研究及模型建立显示文摘为了研究宁夏地区土壤的水分迁移机理以及对土壤水分快速无损检测,利用高光谱成像(光谱范围900~1 700 nm)技术对土壤的含水率进行了研究。通过高光谱成像系统采集了208个土样,比较了不同天数下土壤含水率与光谱的变化、不同质量含水量光谱的差异。对采集到的土样进行PLSR模型建立,对比分析不同光谱预处理方法、不同方法提取特征波长(UVE、CARS、β系数、SPA)、不同建模方法(MLR、PCR、PLSR)建立的模型,优选出最佳模型。结果表明:在一定的土壤含水量范围内,光谱曲线的反射率与土壤含水率成反比;当增大到超过田间持水率时,光谱曲线的反射率与土壤含水率成正比。对比分析了不同预处理方法,优选出单位向量归一化预处理方法。对比不同的模型,优选出SPA提取的特征波长的MLR模型。最优的特征波长为987,1 386,1 466,1 568,1 636,1 645 nm,最优模型的预测相关系数Rp=0.984,预测均方根误差RMSEP为0.631。因此,今后可采用不同波段对土壤含水率进行定量分析。 | 吴龙国 王松磊 何建国 KAZUHIRO Nakano | 2017 | 发光学报2017,38,10: | 9 |
| 11 | Potential effects of mesenchymal stem cell derived extracellular vesicles and exosomal miRNAs in neurological disorders显示文摘Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent cells that possess anti-inflammatory,antiapoptotic and immunomodulatory properties.The effects of existing drugs for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease are limited,thus mesenchymal stem cell therapy has been anticipated as a means of ameliorating neuronal dysfunction.Since mesenchymal stem cells are known to scarcely differentiate into neuronal cells in damaged brain after transplantation,paracrine factors secreted from mesenchymal stem cells have been suggested to exert therapeutic effects.Extracellular vesicles and exosomes are small vesicles released from mesenchymal stem cells that contain various molecules,including proteins,mRNAs and microRNAs.In recent years,administration of exosomes/extracellular vesicles in models of neurological disorders has been shown to improve neuronal dysfunctions,via exosomal transfer into damaged cells.In addition,various microRNAs derived from mesenchymal stem cells that regulate various genes and reduce neuropathological changes in various neurological disorders have been identified.This review summarizes the effects of exosomes/extracellular vesicles and exosomal microRNAs derived from mesenchymal stem cells on models of stroke,subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage,traumatic brain injury,and cognitive impairments,including Alzheimer’s disease. | Masako Nakano Mineko Fujimiya | 2021 | Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,12: | 9 |
| 12 | Metastatic basaloid-squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus treated by 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin显示文摘Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSC) of the esophagus is a rare malignant disease. We report here a patient with recurrent esophageal BSC,who was successfully treated by systemic chemotherapy containing 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cisplatin (CDDP). A 57-year-old woman was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus upon endoscopic examination. Curative esophagectomy with lymph node dissection was performed under the thoracoscope. The pathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen was BSC. Five months after operation,the patient was diagnosed as having a recurrence of the BSC with metastases to the liver and spleen,and a right paraclavicular lymph node. She was given systemic chemotherapy consisting of continuous infusion of 800 mg/d of 5-FU and 3 h infusion of 20 mg/d of CDDP for 5 consecutive days every 4 wk. The metastatic lesions in the spleen and right paraclavicular lymph node disappeared,and the liver metastasis was apparently reduced in size after 2 courses of chemotherapy. The tumor regression was seen over 6 courses,with progression afterwards. Although subsequent treatment with CPT-11 and CDDP was not effective,docetaxel and vinorelbine temporarily controlled the tumor growth for 2 mo. 5-FU and CDDP combination may be useful for the patients with advanced BSC. | Yoshihiro Shibata Eishi Baba Hiroshi Ariyama Ryusuke Miki Nobumichi Ogami Shuji Arita Baoli Qin Hitoshi Kusaba Kenji Mitsugi Hirokazu Noshiro Takashi Yao Shuji Nakano | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,26: | 9 |
| 13 | Clinical outcomes of ampullary neoplasms in resected margin positive or uncertain cases after endoscopic papillectomy显示文摘BACKGROUND Endoscopic papillectomy(EP) for benign ampullary neoplasms could be a lessinvasive alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy(PD). There are some problems and limitations with EP. The post-EP resection margins of ampullary tumors are often positive or uncertain because of the burning effect of EP. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP remain unknown.AIM To investigate the clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP.METHODS Between January 2007 and October 2018, all patients with ampullary tumors who underwent EP at Kobe University Hospital were included in this study. The indications for EP were as follows: adenoma, as determined by preoperative endoscopic biopsy, without bile/pancreatic duct extension, according to endoscopic ultrasound or intraductal ultrasound. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP were retrospectively investigated.RESULTS Of the 45 patients, 29 were male, and 16 were female. The mean age of the patients was 65 years old. Forty-one patients(89.5%) underwent en bloc resection,and 4 patients(10.5%) underwent piecemeal resection. After EP, 33 tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as adenoma, and 12 were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The resected margins were positive or uncertain in 24 patients(53.3%). Of these cases, 15 and 9 were diagnosed as adenoma and adenocarcinoma, respectively. Follow-up observation was selected for all adenomas and 5 adenocarcinomas. In the remaining 4 adenocarcinoma cases,additional PD was performed. Additional PD was performed in 4 cases, and residual carcinoma was found after the additional PD in 1 of these cases. In the follow-up period, local tumor recurrence was detected in 3 cases. Two of these cases involved primary EP-diagnosed adenoma. The recurrent tumors were also adenomas detected by biopsy. The remaining case involved primary EPdiagnosed adenocarcinoma. The recurrent tumor was also an adenocarcinoma.All of the recurrent tumors were successfully treated with argon plasma coagulation(APC). There was no local or lymph node recurrence after the APC.The post-APC follow-up periods lasted for 57.1 to 133.8 mo. No ampullary tumor-related deaths occurred in all patients.CONCLUSION Resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP could be managed by endoscopic treatment including APC, even in cases of adenocarcinoma. EP could become an effective less-invasive first-line treatment for early stage ampullary tumors. | Arata Sakai Masahiro Tsujimae Atsuhiro Masuda Takao Iemoto Shigeto Ashina Kohei Yamakawa Takeshi Tanaka Shunta Tanaka Yasutaka Yamada Ryota Nakano Yu Sato Manabu Kurosawa Takuya Ikegawa Seiji Fujigaki Takashi Kobayashi Hideyuki Shiomi Yoshifumi Arisaka Tomoo Itoh Yuzo Kodama | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,11: | 9 |
| 14 | Cell transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injury–bone marrow stromal cells and choroid plexus epithelial cells显示文摘Transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) enhanced the outgrowth of regenerating axons and promoted locomotor improvements of rats with spinal cord injury(SCI).BMSCs did not survive long-term,disappearing from the spinal cord within 2–3 weeks after transplantation.Astrocyte-devoid areas,in which no astrocytes or oligodendrocytes were found,formed at the epicenter of the lesion.It was remarkable that numerous regenerating axons extended through such astrocyte-devoid areas.Regenerating axons were associated with Schwann cells embedded in extracellular matrices.Transplantation of choroid plexus epithelial cells(CPECs) also enhanced axonal regeneration and locomotor improvements in rats with SCI.Although CPECs disappeared from the spinal cord shortly after transplantation,an extensive outgrowth of regenerating axons occurred through astrocyte-devoid areas,as in the case of BMSC transplantation.These findings suggest that BMSCs and CPECs secret neurotrophic factors that promote tissue repair of the spinal cord,including axonal regeneration and reduced cavity formation.This means that transplantation of BMSCs and CPECs promotes 'intrinsic' ability of the spinal cord to regenerate.The treatment to stimulate the intrinsic regeneration ability of the spinal cord is the safest method of clinical application for SCI.It should be emphasized that the generally anticipated long-term survival,proliferation and differentiation of transplanted cells are not necessarily desirable from the clinical point of view of safety. | Chizuka Ide Norihiko Nakano Kenji Kanekiyo | 2016 | Neural Regeneration Research2016,11,9: | 8 |
| 15 | Factors correlating with acoustic radiation force impulse elastography in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM: To investigate the factors other than fibrosis stage correlating with acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI) elastograpy in chronic hepatitis C. METHODS: ARFI elastograpy was performed in 108 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C who underwent a liver biopsy. The proportion of fibrosis area in the biopsy specimens was measured by computerassisted morphometric image analysis. RESULTS: ARFI correlated significantly with fibrosis stage(β = 0.1865, P < 0.0001) and hyaluronic acid levels(β = 0.0008, P = 0.0039) in all patients by multiple regression analysis. Fibrosis area correlated significantly with ARFI by Spearman's rank correlation test but not by multiple regression analysis. ARFI correlated significantly with body mass index(BMI)(β =-0.0334, P = 0.0001) in F 0 or F 1, with γ-glutamyltranspeptidase levels(β = 0.0048, P = 0.0012) in F 2, and with fibrosis stage(β = 0.2921, P = 0.0044) and hyaluronic acid levels(β = 0.0012, P = 0.0025) in F 3 or F 4. The ARFI cutoff value was 1.28 m/s for F ≥ 2, 1.44 m/s for F ≥ 3, and 1.73 m/s for F 4. CONCLUSION: ARFI correlated with fibrosis stage and hyaluronic acid but not with inflammation. ARFI was affected by BMI, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, and hyaluronic acid in each fibrosis stage. | Toru Nishikawa Senju Hashimoto Naoto Kawabe Masao Harata Yoshifumi Nitta Michihito Murao Takuji Nakano Yuko Mizuno Hiroaki Shimazaki Toshiki Kan Kazunori Nakaoka Yuka Takagawa Masashi Ohki Naohiro Ichino Keisuke Osakabe Kentaro Yoshioka | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,5: | 7 |
| 16 | A new index for non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis显示文摘AIM:To construct and evaluate a new non-invasive fibrosis index for assessment of the stage of liver f ibrosis. METHODS:A new f ibrosis index (Fibro-Stiffness index) was developed in 165 of 285 patients with chronic hepatitis C, and was validated in the other 120 patients where liver biopsy was performed. Its usefulness was compared with liver stiffness (LS) measured by FibroScan, the aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, the Forns index and the FibroIndex. RESULTS: The Fibro-Stiffness index consists of LS,platelet count and prothrombin time. The values of the Fibro-Stiffness index differed signif icantly between neighboring f ibrosis stages except F0-F1. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curves of the Fibro-Stiffness index for prediction of F≥2 (0.90), F≥ 3 (0.90) and F= 4(0.92) in the estimation group and those for F≥ 3 (0.93) and F =4 (0.97) in the validation group were the highest among the 5 methods examined. The accuracy of the Fibro-Stiffness index had highest values for F≥2, F≥3 and F=4 in both the estimation and validation groups. The diagnostic performance for F= 4 was improved by a combination of the Fibro-Stiffness index with serum hyaluronic acid level. CONCLUSION: The Fibro-Stiffness index was constructed and validated. It showed superior diagnostic performance to other indices for F ≥ 2,3 and 4. | Naohiro Ichino Keisuke Osakabe Toru Nishikawa Hiroko Sugiyama Miho Kato Shiho Kitahara Senju Hashimoto Naoto Kawabe Masao Harata Yoshifumi Nitta Michihito Murao Takuji Nakano Yuko Arima Hiroaki Shimazaki Koji Suzuki Kentaro Yoshioka | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,38: | 7 |
