1Depletion of CD25^+CD4^+T cells (Tregs) enhances the HBV-specific CD8^+ T cell response primed by DNA immunization显示文摘AIM: Persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by a weak CD8+ T cell response to HBV. Immunotherapeutic strategies that overcome tolerance and boost these suboptimal responses may facilitate viral clearance in chronically infected individuals. Therefore, we examined whether CD25+CD4+ regulatory T (Treg) cells might be involved in a inhibition of CD8+T cell priming or in the modulation of the magnitude of the'peak' antiviral CD8+ T cell response primed by DNA immunization. METHODS: B10.D2 mice were immunized once with plasmid pCMV-S. Mice received 500 μg of anti-CD25 mAb injected intraperitoneally 3 d before DNA immunization to deplete CD25+ cells. Induction of HBV-specific CD8+ T ceils in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured by S28-39 peptide loaded DimerX staining and their function was analyzed by intracellular IFN-γ staining.RESULTS: DNA immunization induced HBV-specific CD8+ T cells. At the peak T cell response (d 10), 7.1±2.0% of CD8+ T cells were HBV-specific after DNA immunization, whereas 12.7±3.2% of CD8+ T cells were HBV-specific in Treg-depleted mice, suggesting that DNA immunization induced more antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in the absence of CD25+ Treg cells (n = 6, P<0.05). Similarly, fewer HBVspecific memory T cells were detected in the presence of these cells (1.3±0.4%) in comparison to Treg-depleted mice (2.6±0.9%) on d 30 after DNA immunization (n = 6, P<0.01). Both IFN-γ production and the avidity of the HBV-specific CD8+ T cell response to antigen were higher in HBV-specific CD8+ T cells induced in the absence of Treg cells.CONCLUSION: CD25+ Treg cells suppress priming and/or expansion of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells during DNA immunization and the peak CD8+ T cell response is enhanced by depleting this cell population. Furthermore, Treg cells appear to be involved in the contraction phase of the CD8+ T ceil response and may affect the quality of memory T cell pools. The elimination of Treg cells or their inhibition may be important in immunotherapeutic strategies to control HBV infection by inducing virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses in chronically infected subjects.Yoshihiro Furuichi Hirotake Tokuyama Satoshi Ueha Makoto Kurachi Fuminori Moriyasu Kazuhiro Kakimi 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,24:30
2Assessment of the validity of the clinical pathway for colon endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘AIM: To determine the effective hospitalization period as the clinical pathway to prepare patients for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS: This is a retrospective observational study which included 189 patients consecutively treated by ESD at the National Cancer Center Hospital from May 2007 to March 2009. Patients were divided into 2 groups; patients in group A were discharged in 5 d and patients in group B included those who stayed longer than 5 d. The following data were collected for both groups: mean hospitalization period, tumor site, median tumor size, post-ESD rectal bleeding requiring urgent endoscopy, perforation during or after ESD, abdominal pain, fever above 38 ℃, and blood test results positive for inflammatory markers before and after ESD. Each parameter was compared after data collection. RESULTS: A total of 83% (156/189) of all patients could be discharged from the hospital on day 3 postESD. Complications were observed in 12.1% (23/189) of patients. Perforation occurred in 3.7% (7/189) of patients. All the perforations occurred during the ESD procedure and they were managed with endoscopic clipping. The incidence of post-operative bleeding was 2.6% (5/189); all the cases involved rectal bleeding. We divided the subjects into 2 groups: tumor diameter ≥ 4 cm and < 4 cm; there was no significant difference between the 2 groups (P = 0.93, χ 2 test with Yates correction). The incidence of abdominal pain was 3.7% (7/189). All the cases occurred on the day of the procedure or the next day. The median white blood cell count was 6800 ± 2280 (cells/μL; ± SD) for group A, and 7700 ± 2775 (cells/μL; ± SD) for group B, showing a statistically significant difference (P = 0.023, t-test). The mean C-reactive protein values the day after ESD were 0.4 ± 1.3 mg/dL and 0.5 ± 1.3 mg/dL for groups A and B, respectively, with no significant difference between the 2 groups (P = 0.54, t -test). CONCLUSION: One-day admission is sufficient in the absence of complications during ESD or early postoperative bleeding.Takaya Aoki Takeshi Nakajima Yutaka Saito Takahisa Matsuda Taku Sakamoto Takao Itoi Yassir Khiyar Fuminori Moriyasu 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,28:22
3Risk factors for bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection of colorectal neoplasms显示文摘AIM:To investigate the risk factors for delayed bleeding following endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)treatment for colorectal neoplasms.METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 317 consecutive patients with 325 lesions who underwent ESD for superficial colorectal neoplasms at our hospital from January 2009 to June2013.Delayed post-ESD bleeding was defined as bleeding that resulted in overt hematochezia 6 h to 30d after ESD and the observation of bleeding spots as confirmed by repeat colonoscopy or a required blood transfusion.We analyzed the relationship between risk factors for delayed bleeding following ESD and the following factors using univariate and multivariate analyses:age,gender,presence of comorbidities,use of antithrombotic drugs,use of intravenous heparin,resected specimen size,lesion size,lesion location,lesion morphology,lesion histology,the device used,procedure time,and the presence of significant bleeding during ESD.RESULTS:Delayed post-ESD bleeding was found in14 lesions from 14 patients(4.3%of all specimens,4.4%patients).Patients with episodes of delayed postESD bleeding had a mean hemoglobin decrease of2.35 g/dL.All episodes were treated successfully using endoscopic hemostatic clips.Emergency surgery was not required in any of the cases.Blood transfusion was needed in 1 patient(0.3%).Univariate analysis revealed that lesions located in the cecum(P=0.012)and the presence of significant bleeding during ESD(P=0.024)were significantly associated with delayed post-ESD bleeding.The risk of delayed bleeding was higher for larger lesion sizes,but this trend was not statistically significant.Multivariate analysis revealed that lesions located in the cecum(OR=7.26,95%CI:1.99-26.55,P=0.003)and the presence of significant bleeding during ESD(OR=16.41,95%CI:2.60-103.68,P=0.003)were independent risk factors for delayed post-ESD bleeding.CONCLUSION:Location in the cecum and significant bleeding during ESD predispose patients to delayed post-procedural bleeding.Therefore,careful and additional management is recommended for these patients.Sho Suzuki Akiko Chino Teruhito Kishihara Naoyuki Uragami Yoshiro Tamegai Takanori Suganuma Junko Fujisaki Masaaki Matsuura Takao Itoi Takuji Gotoda Masahiro Igarashi Fuminori Moriyasu 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,7:21
4Endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy in patients with failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography显示文摘Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided biliary drainage was performed for treatment of patients who have obstructive jaundice in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). In the present study,we introduced the feasibility and outcome of EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy in four patients who failed in ERCP. We performed the procedure in 2 papilla of Vater,including one resectable case,and 2 cases of cancer of the head of pancreas. Using a curved linear array echoendoscope,a 19 G needle or a needle knife was punctured transduodenally into the bile duct under EUS visualization. Using a biliary catheter for dilation,or papillary balloon dilator,a 7-Fr plastic stent was inserted through the choledochoduodenostomy site into the extrahepatic bile duct. In 3 (75%) of 4 cases,an indwelling plastic stent was placed,and in one case in which the stent could not be advanced into the bile duct,a naso-biliary drainage tube was placed instead. In all cases,the obstructive jaundice rapidly improved after the procedure. Focal peritonitis and bleeding not requiring blood transfusion was seen in one case. In this case,pancreatoduodenectomy was performed and the surgical findings revealed severe adhesion around the choledochoduodenostomy site. Although further studies and development of devices are mandatory,EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy appears to be an effective alternative to ERCP in selected cases.Takao Itoi Fumihide Itokawa Atsushi Sofuni Toshio Kurihara Takayoshi Tsuchiya Kentaro Ishii Shujiro Tsuji Nobuhito Ikeuchi Fuminori Moriyasu 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,39:13
5Diagnostic efficacy of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI for hepatocellular carcinoma and dysplastic nodule显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the relationship between the signal intensity of hepatobiliary phase images on gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)and histological grade.METHODS:Fifty-nine patients with 82 hepatocellular lesions were evaluated retrospectively.Hepatobiliary phase images on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI were classified into 3 groups:low,iso or high.Angiographyassisted computed tomography(CT)findings were also classified into 3 groups:CT during arterial portography,and CT hepatic arteriography:A:iso,iso or low;B:slightly low,iso or low;;and C:low,high.We correlated angiography-assisted CT,hepatobiliary phase findings during gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI and histological grades.Furthermore,correlations between MRI findings and histological grade for each hemodynamic pattern were performed.Correlations among radiologicaland pathological findings were statistically evaluated using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test.RESULTS:There was a significant correlation between histological grade and hemodynamic pattern(P<0.05).There was a significant correlation between histological grade and signal intensity in the hepatobiliary phase(P<0.05)in group A lesions.There was no significant correlation between histological grade and signal intensity in the hepatobiliary phase in group B or C lesions(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Signal intensity in the hepatobiliary phase correlated with histological grade in the lesions that maintained portal blood flow,but did not correlate in lesions that showed decreased or defective portal blood flow.Kazuhiro Saito Ryota Nishio Toru Saguchi Soichi Akata Koichi Tokuuye Fuminori Moriyasu Katsutoshi Sugimoto Junichi Taira Toshitaka Nagao 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,30:12
6Safety trial of high-intensity focused ultrasound therapy for pancreatic cancer显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the safety and clinical application of high-intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)therapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer(PC).METHODS:Thirty PC patients(16 cases in stage III and 14 cases in stage IV)with visualized pancreatic tumors were admitted for HIFU therapy as an optional local therapy in addition to systemic chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.Informed consent was obtained.This study began at the end of 2008 and was approved by the ethics committee of our hospital[Institutional Review Board(IRB):890].The HIFU device used was the FEP-BY02(Yuande Bio-Medical Engineering,Beijing,China).RESULTS:The mean tumor size after HIFU therapy changed to 30.9±1.7 mm from 31.7±1.7 mm at pre-therapy.There were no significant changes in tumor size,mean number of treatment sessions(2.7±0.1 mm),or mean total treatment time(2.4±0.1 h).The rate of symptom relief effect was 66.7%.The effectiveness of primary lesion treatment was as follows:complete response,0;partial response,4;stable disease,22;progressive disease,4.Treatment after HIFU therapy included 2 operations,24 chemotherapy treatments,and 4 best supportive care treatments.Adverse events occurred in 10%of cases,namely pseudocyst formation in 2 cases and mild pancreatitis development in 1.However,no severe adverse events occurred in this study.CONCLUSION:We suggest that HIFU therapy is safe and has the potential to be a new method of combination therapy for PC.Atsushi Sofuni Fuminori Moriyasu Takatomo Sano Fumihide Itokawa Takayoshi Tsuchiya Toshio Kurihara Kentaro Ishii Syujiro Tsuji Nobuhito Ikeuchi Reina Tanaka Junko Umeda Ryosuke Tonozuka Mitsuyoshi Honjo Shuntaro Mukai Mitsuru Fujita Takao Itoi 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,28:12
7Immunological 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 2007Cellular & Molecular Immunology2007,4,4:9
8Radiologic-pathologic correlation of three-dimensional shear-wave elastographic findings in assessing the liver ablation volume after radiofrequency ablation显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the usefulness of three-dimensional(3D) shear-wave elastography(SWE) in assessing the liver ablation volume after radiofrequency(RF) ablation.METHODS: RF ablation was performed in vivo in 10 rat livers using a 15-gauge expandable RF needle. 3D SWE as well as B-mode ultrasound(US) were performed 15 min after ablation. The acquired 3D volume data were rendered as multislice images(interslice distance: 1.10 mm), and the estimated ablation volumes were calculated. The 3D SWE findings were compared against digitized photographs of gross pathological and histopathological specimens of the livers obtained in the same sectional planes as the 3D SWE multislice images. The ablation volumes were also estimated by gross pathological examination of the livers, and theresults were then compared with those obtained by 3D SWE.RESULTS: In B-mode US images, the ablation zone appeared as a hypoechoic area with a peripheral hyperechoic rim; however, the findings were too indistinct to be useful for estimating the ablation area. 3D SWE depicted the ablation area and volume more clearly. In the images showing the largest ablation area, the mean kPa values of the peripheral rim, central zone, and nonablated zone were 13.1 ± 1.5 kPa, 59.1 ± 21.9 kPa, and 4.3 ± 0.8 kPa, respectively. The ablation volumes depicted by 3D SWE correlated well with those estimated from gross pathological examination(r2 = 0.9305, P = 0.00001). The congestion and diapedesis of red blood cells observed in histopathological examination were greater in the peripheral rim of the ablation zone than in the central zone.CONCLUSION: 3D SWE outperforms B-mode US in delineating ablated areas in the liver and is therefore more reliable for spatially delineating thermal lesions created by RF ablation.Katsutoshi Sugimoto Hisashi Oshiro Saori Ogawa Mitsuyoshi Honjo Takeshi Hara Fuminori Moriyasu 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,33:9
9Effectiveness of narrow-band imaging magnification for invasion depth in early colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the surface microvascular patterns of early colorectal cancer (ECC) using narrow-band imaging (NBI) with magnification and its effectiveness for invasion depth diagnosis. METHODS: We studied 112 ECC lesions [mucosal/ submucosal superficial (m/sm-s), 69; sm-deep (sm-d), 43] ≥ 10 mm that subsequently underwent endoscopic or surgical treatment at our hospital. We compared microvascular architecture revealed by NBI with magnification to histological findings and then to magnifi- cation colonoscopy pit pattern diagnosis. RESULTS: Univariate analysis indicated vessel density: non-dense (P < 0.0001); vessel regularity: negative (P < 0.0001); caliber regularity: negative (P < 0.0001); vessel length: short (P < 0.0001); and vessel meandering: positive (P = 0.002) occurred significantly more often with sm-d invasion than m/sm-s invasion. Multivariate analysis showed sm-d invasion was independently associated with vessel density: non-dense[odds ratio (OR) = 402.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 12.4-13 133.1] and vessel regularity: negative (OR = 15.9, 95% CI: 1.2-219.1). Both of these findings when combined were an indicator of sm-d invasion with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 81.4%, 100% and 92.9%, respectively. Pit pattern diagnosis sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, meanwhile, were 86.0%, 98.6% and 93.8%, respectively, thus, the NBI with magnification findings of non-dense vessel density and negative vessel regularity when combined together were comparable to pit pattern diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Non-dense vessel density and/or negative vessel regularity observed by NBI with magnification could be indicators of ECC sm-d invasion.Masakatsu Fukuzawa Yutaka Saito Takahisa Matsuda Toshio Uraoka Takao Itoi Fuminori Moriyasu 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,14:8
10A predictive factor for the response to S-1 plus cisplatin in gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To prove that the protein expression level of thymidylate synthase is a predictive factor for the response to S-1/cisplatin(CDDP)chemotherapy in gastric cancer.METHODS:We measured the protein expression levels of thymidylate synthase(TS),dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase(DPD),and orotate phosphoribosyltrans-ferase(OPRT)in advanced gastric cancer.Before S-1/CDDP chemotherapy,tumor specimens from primary sites were obtained by endoscopic biopsy and analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The chemo-therapeutic effects on the primary sites were evaluated by endoscopic biopsy performed more than once after S-1/CDDP chemotherapy.The effects are a predictive factor for the response to S-1/CDDP chemotherapy inpatients with advanced gastric cancer,as evaluated by endoscopic biopsy over time.RESULTS:The protein expression level of TS was significantly higher(P<0.05)in the tumor than in the normal tissue,and significantly lower(P<0.05)in the responders than in the non-responders.We were able to evaluate the correlation between changes in the protein expression levels of TS,DPD and OPRT and chemotherapeutic responses in 7 patients by assessing tumor tissues more than twice.In the responders,the protein expression level of TS was<40 ng/mg protein.However,there were significant increases in the protein expression levels of TS(P<0.01)and DPD(P<0.05)after chemotherapy in 3 patients.In these cases,the patient assessment changed from'responder'to'non-responder'.In the non-responders,the protein expression level of TS was>40 ng/mg protein.CONCLUSION:We have confirmed that the protein expression level of TS is a predictive factor for the response to S-1/CDDP chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer.Ikuko Miyazaki Takashi Kawai Youji Harada Fuminori Moriyasu 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36:8
11Arterial-phase contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for evaluating anti-angiogenesis treatment: A pilot study显示文摘AIM:To verify whether arterial-phase contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) of tumor parenchymal tissue is useful for evaluation of anti-angiogenesis agents.METHODS:Rabbits with liver tumor were subjected to CEUS,and images of the nodular maximal diameter in vascular phase were recorded.Image analysis was performed to plot the time intensity curve(TIC) at the tumor parenchyma,which set the diameter of the region of interest of intensity measurement.The TIC was calculated to obtain the time to peak intensity(TPI) and the magnitude of PI.Rabbits were randomly assigned to a treatment group with sorafenib and a control group.Two weeks later,the same ultrasound examination was repeated followed by pathological testing to assess the effect of sorafenib on the liver tumor.RESULTS:In four rabbits in the treatment group,the rate of change of tumor size was decreased comparedwith that of the control(the rate 2.3 vs 7.9,P = 0.02).The TPI of the treatment group elongated significantly(the rate 3.1 vs 1.1,P = 0.07 for SonoVue,2.0 vs 0.88,P = 0.09 for Sonazoid).The magnitude of PI showed no significant changes.In pathological examination,capillary diameters in the treatment group were significantly smaller than those in the control group(26.4 vs 42.8 μm,P = 0.013).CONCLUSION:Analysis of the TIC in the arterial phase of tumor tissue could evaluate the efficacy of antiangiogenesis drug treatment in liver tumor.Keiko Yoshida Tomihiko Hirokawa Fuminori Moriyasu Masahiko Yamada Yasuharu Imai 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,8:7

13Can endoscopic atrophy predict histological atrophy? Historical study in United Kingdom and Japan显示文摘AIM: To assess the diagnostic concordance between endoscopic and histological atrophy in the United Kingdom and Japan.METHODS: Using published data,a total of 252 patients,126 in the United Kingdom and 126 in Japan,aged 20 to 80 years,were evaluated. The extent of endoscopic atrophy was classified into five subgroups according to a modified Kimura-Takemoto classification system and was compared with histological findings of atrophy at five biopsy sites according to the updated Sydney system.RESULTS: The strength of agreement of the extent of atrophy between histology and visual endoscopic inspection showed good reproducibili ty,wi th a weighted kappa value of 0.76(P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that three factors were associated with decreased concordance: Japanese ethnicity [odds ratio(OR) 0.22,95% confidence interval(CI) 0.11-0.43],older age(OR = 0.32,95%CI: 0.16-0.66) and endoscopic atrophy(OR = 0.10,95%CI: 0.03-0.36). The strength of agreement between endoscopic and histological atrophy,assessed by cancer risk-oriented grading,was reproducible,with a kappa value of 0.81(95%CI: 0.75-0.87). Only nine patients(3.6%) were endoscopically underdiagnosed with antral predominant rather than extensive atrophy and were considered false negatives.CONCLUSION: Endoscopic grading can predict histological atrophy with few false negatives,indicating that precancerous conditions can be identified during screening endoscopy,particularly in patients in western countries.Shin Kono Takuji Gotoda Shigeaki Yoshida Ichiro Oda Hitoshi Kondo Luigi Gatta Greg Naylor Michael Dixon Fuminori Moriyasu Anthony Axon 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,46:6
14Endoscopic resection of carcinoid of the minor duodenalpapilla显示文摘We encountered a 65-year-old man with a carcinoid tumor of the minor duodenal papilla. Since he had liver cirrhosis and completely refused surgery, we performed an endoscopic snare papillectomy. The papillectomy was performed successfully without procedure-related complication. The specimens revealed a carcinoid tumor showing that the margin of the tumor was positive. One week later, upper GI endoscopy was performed and the biopsy specimens obtained from base of ulcer showed no neoplastic cells. We performed a duodenoscopy and CT 3, 6 and 18 mo later, and there was no macroscopic or microscopic evidence of tumor recurrence after more than 4 years.Takao Itoi Atsushi Sofuni Fumihide Itokawa Takayoshi Tsuchiya Toshio Kurihara Fuminori Moriyasu 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,27:6
15Image of tumor metastasis and inflammatory lymph node enlargement by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography显示文摘AIM:To compare the difference between tumorinduced lymph node enlargement and inflammation-induced lymph node enlargement by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and pathological findings. METHODS:A model of tumor-induced lymph node metastasis was prepared by embedding a VX2 tumor into the hind paws of white rabbits.A model of inflammation-induced enlargement was prepared by injecting a suspension of Escherichia coli into separate hind paws of white rabbits.Then,a solution of SonazoidTM(GE Healthcare,Oslo,Norway)was injected subcutaneously in the proximity of the lesion followed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the enlarged popliteal lymph nodes. RESULTS:In the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the tumor-induced metastasis model,the sentinel lymph node was imaged.An area of filling defect was observed in that enlarged lymph node.In the histology examination,the area of filling defect corresponded to the metastatic lesion of the tumor.Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the model on inflammation-induced lymph node enlargement,and that of the acute inflam-mation model performed 3-7 d later,revealed dense staining that was comparatively uniform.The pathological findings showed acute lymphadenitis mainly due to infiltration of inflammatory cells.Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography that was performed 28 d post-infection in the acute inflammation model showed speckled staining.Inflammation-induced cell infiltration and fiberization,which are findings of chronic lymphadenitis, were seen in the pathological findings. CONCLUSION:Sentinel lymph node imaging was made possible by subcutaneous injection of SonazoidTM.Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was suggested to be useful in differentiating tumor-induced enlargement and inflammation-induced enlargement of lymph nodes.Takaya Aoki Fuminori Moriyasu Kei Yamamoto Masafumi Shimizu Masahiko Yamada Yasuharu Imai 2011World Journal of Radiology2011,3,12:5
16Clinical impact of endoscopy position detecting unit(UPD-3) for a non-sedated colonoscopy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate whether an endoscopy position detecting unit(UPD-3) can improve cecal intubation rates, cecal intubation times and visual analog scale(VAS) pain scores, regardless of the colonoscopist's level of experience.METHODS:A total of 260 patients(170 men and 90women)who underwent a colonoscopy were divided into the UPD-3-guided group or the conventional group(no UPD-3 guidance).Colonoscopies were performed by experts(experience of more than 1000colonoscopies)or trainees(experience of less than 100colonoscopies).Cecal intubation rates,cecal intubation times,insertion methods(straight insertion:shortening the colonic fold through the bending technique;roping insertion:right turn shortening technique)and patient discomfort were assessed.Patient discomfort during the endoscope insertion was scored by the VAS that was divided into 6 degrees of pain.RESULTS:The cecum intubation rates,cecal intubation times,number of cecal intubations that were performed in<15 min and insertion methods were not significantly different between the conventional group and the UPD-3-guided group.The number of patients who experienced pain during the insertion was markedly less in the UPD-3-guided group than in the conventional group.Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the following factors were associated with lower VAS pain scores during endoscope insertion:insertion method(straight insertion)and UPD-3guidance in the trainee group.For the experts group,univariate analysis showed that only the insertion method(straight insertion)was associated with lower VAS pain scores.CONCLUSION:Although UPD-3 guidance did not shorten intubation times,it resulted in less patient painduring endoscope insertion compared with conventional endoscopy for the procedures performed by trainees.Masakatsu Fukuzawa Junichi Uematsu Shin Kono Sho Suzuki Takemasa Sato Naoko Yagi Yuichiro Tsuji Kenji Yagi Chika Kusano Takuji Gotoda Takashi Kawai Fuminori Moriyasu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,16:5
17Influence of Setting Condition on Characteristics of Savonius Hydraulic Turbine with a Shield Plate显示文摘The aim of this investigation was to improve power performance of Savonius hydraulic turbine utilizing small stream for electric generation.An attempt was made to increase the power coefficient of runner by the use of flat shield plate placed upstream of the runner.The difference of the power coefficient is discussed in relation to clearance between the runner and the bottom wall and the rotation direction of the runner.The flow field around the runner was also examined visually to clarify influences of setting conditions on the power performance.From this study it was found that the power coefficient is achieved for 0.47 by only using a flat shield plate,the increase is up to 80% over the runner without the plate.Moreover,it is the proper condition that clearance ratio is 0.73 in this study.Shouichiro Iio Yusuke Katayama Fuminori Uchiyama Eiichi Sato Toshihiko Ikeda 2011Journal of Thermal Science2011,20,3:5
18Temporary pancreatic stent to prevent post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: a preliminary, single-center, randomized controlled trial显示文摘Takayoshi Tsuchiya Takao Itoi Atsushi Sofuni Fumihide Itokawa Toshio Kurihara Kentaro Ishii Syujiro Tsuji Takashi Kawai Fuminori Moriyasu 2007Journal of Hepato - Biliary - Pancreatic Surgery2007,,3:4
19Impairment of IFN-a production capacity in patients with hepatitis C virus and the risk of the development of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To determine the utility of interferon (IFN) -αproduction capacity in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection for the measurement of immunosurveillance potential and for the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by investigating the Sendai virus (HVJ) stimulated IFN-α production capacity of patients with HCV infection.METHODS: HVJ stimulated IFN-α production was determined in a large number of patients with HCV infection and the development of HCC was monitored for 3 years in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).RESULTS: IFN-α production capacity decreases gradually with the progression of liver disease from chronic hepatitis (CH) to HCC. A significant correlation between the duration of HCV infection and impaired IFN-α production capacity was observed. IFN-α production in patients who developed HCC within 3 years was significantly lower than that of patients who remained in LC without developing HCC.CONCLUSION: Measurement of IFN-α production in LC patients may be useful for the early detection of HCC.Kazuko Uno Yoshiki Suginoshita Kazuhiro Kakimi Fuminori Moriyasu Mayumi Hirosaki Taro Shirakawa Tsunataro Kishida 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,46:3
20Prognosis of cancer with branch duct type IPMN of the pancreas显示文摘AIM:To examine the coexistence of metachronous and synchronous cancer in branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas (IPMN).METHODS: We reviewed the records of 145 patients with branch duct IPMN between January 1991 and April 2008 and assessed the relationship between IPMN and intraor extra-pancreatic carcinoma and the outcome of IPMN.RESULTS: The mean observation period was 55.9 ± 45.3 mo.
