| 1 | Effectiveness of probiotic therapy for the prevention of relapse in patients with inactive ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM: to evaluate the effectiveness of probiotic therapy for suppressing relapse in patients with inactive ulcerative colitis(UC).METHODS: Bio-Three tablets, each containing 2 mg of lactomin(Streptococcus faecalis T-110), 10 mg of Clostridium butyricum TO-A, and 10 mg of Bacillus mesentericus TO-A, were used as probiotic therapy.Sixty outpatients with UC in remission were randomly assigned to receive 9 Bio-Three tablets/day(BioThree group) or 9 placebo tablets/day(placebo group)for 12 mo in addition to their ongoing medications.Clinical symptoms were evaluated monthly or on the exacerbation of symptoms or need for additional medication. Fecal samples were collected to analyze bacterial DNA at baseline and 3-mo intervals. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism and cluster analyses were done to examine bacterial components of the fecal microflora.RESULTS: Forty-six patients, 23 in each group,completed the study, and 14 were excluded. The relapse rates in the Bio-Three and placebo groups were respectively 0.0% vs 17.4% at 3 mo(P = 0.036), 8.7%vs 26.1% at 6 mo(P = 0.119), and 21.7% vs 34.8%(P = 0.326) at 9 mo. At 12 mo, the remission rate was 69.5% in the Bio-Three group and 56.6% in the placebo group(P = 0.248). On cluster analysis of fecal flora, 7 patients belonged to cluster Ⅰ, 32 to cluster Ⅱ,and 7 to cluster Ⅲ.CONCLUSION: Probiotics may be effective formaintaining clinical remission in patients with quiescent UC, especially those who belong to cluster Ⅰ on fecal bacterial analysis. | Yasushi Yoshimatsu Akihiro Yamada Ryuichi Furukawa Koji Sono Aisaku Osamura Kentaro Nakamura Hiroshi Aoki Yukiko Tsuda Nobuo Hosoe Nobuo Takada Yasuo Suzuki | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,19: | 21 |
| 2 | Multicenter study of endoscopic preoperative biliary drainage for malignant distal biliary obstruction显示文摘AIM: To determine the optimal method of endoscopic preoperative biliary drainage for malignant distal biliary obstruction.METHODS: Multicenter retrospective study was conducted in patients who underwent plastic stent(PS) or nasobiliary catheter(NBC) placement for resectable malignant distal biliary obstruction followed by surgery between January 2010 and March 2012. Procedurerelated adverse events, stent/catheter dysfunction(occlusion or migration of PS/NBC, developmentof cholangitis, or other conditions that required repeat endoscopic biliary intervention), and jaundice resolution(bilirubin level < 3.0 mg/d L) were evaluated. Cumulative incidence of jaundice resolution and dysfunction of PS/NBC were estimated using competing risk analysis. Patient characteristics and preoperative biliary drainage were also evaluated for association with the time to jaundice resolution and PS/NBC dysfunction using competing risk regression analysis.RESULTS: In total, 419 patients were included in the study(PS, 253 and NBC, 166). Primary cancers included pancreatic cancer in 194 patients(46%), bile duct cancer in 172(41%), gallbladder cancer in three(1%), and ampullary cancer in 50(12%). The median serum total bilirubin was 7.8 mg/d L and 324 patients(77%) had ≥ 3.0 mg/d L. During the median time to surgery of 29 d [interquartile range(IQR), 30-39 d]. PS/NBC dysfunction rate was 35% for PS and 18% for NBC [Subdistribution hazard ratio(SHR) = 4.76; 95%CI: 2.44-10.0, P < 0.001]; the pig-tailed tip was a risk factor for PS dysfunction. Jaundice resolution was achieved in 85% of patients and did not depend on the drainage method(PS or NBC).CONCLUSION: PS has insufficient patency for preoperative biliary drainage. Given the drawbacks of external drainage via NBC, an alternative method of internal drainage should be explored. | Naoki Sasahira Tsuyoshi Hamada Osamu Togawa Ryuichi Yamamoto Tomohisa Iwai Kiichi Tamada Yoshiaki Kawaguchi Kenji Shimura Takero Koike Yu Yoshida Kazuya Sugimori Shomei Ryozawa Toshiharu Kakimoto Ko Nishikawa Katsuya Kitamura Tsunao Imamura Masafumi Mizuide Nobuo Toda Iruru Maetani Yuji Sakai Takao Itoi Masatsugu Nagahama Yousuke Nakai Hiroyuki Isayama | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,14: | 18 |
| 3 | Sentinel lymph node navigation surgery for early stage gastric cancer显示文摘We attempted to evaluate the history of sentinel node navigation surgery(SNNS),technical aspects,tracers,and clinical applications of SNNS using Infrared Ray Electronic Endoscopes(IREE)combined with Indocyanine Green(ICG).The sentinel lymph node(SLN)is defined as a first lymph node(LN)which receives cancer cells from a primary tumor.Reports on clinical application of SNNS for gastric cancers started to appear since early 2000s.Two prospective multicenter trials of SNNS for gastric cancer have also been accomplished in Japan.Kitagawa et al reported that the endoscopic dual(dye and radioisotope)tracer method for SN biopsy was confirmed acceptable and effective when applied to the early-stage gastric cancer(EGC).We have previously reported the usefulness of SNNS in gastrointestinal cancer using ICG as a tracer,combined with IREE(Olympus Optical,Tokyo,Japan)to detect SLN.LN metastasis rate of EGC is low.Hence,clinical application of SNNS for EGC might lead us to avoid unnecessary LN dissection,which could preserve the patient’s quality of life after operation.The most ideal method of SNNS should allow secure and accurate detection of SLN,and real time observation of lymphatic flow during operation. | Norio Mitsumori Hiroshi Nimura Naoto Takahashi Masahiko Kawamura Hiroaki Aoki Atsuo Shida Nobuo Omura Katsuhiko Yanaga | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,19: | 15 |
| 4 | Prevention of esophageal strictures after endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘Endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) have recently been accepted as less invasive methods for treating patients with early esophageal cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma and dysplasia of Barrett's esophagus.However,the large defects in the esophageal mucosa often cause severe esophageal strictures,which dramatically reduce the patient's quality of life.Although preventive endoscopic balloon dilatation can reduce dysphagia and the frequency of dilatation,other approaches are necessary to prevent esophageal strictures after ESD.This review describes several strategies for preventing esophageal strictures after ESD,with a particular focus on anti-inflammatory and tissue engineering approaches.The local injection of triamcinolone acetonide and other systemic steroid therapies are frequently used to prevent esophageal strictures after ESD.Tissue engineering approaches for preventing esophageal strictures have recently been applied in basic research studies.Scaffolds with temporary stents have been applied in five cases,and this technique has been shown to be safe and is anticipated to prevent esophageal strictures.Fabricated autologous oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets to cover the defective mucosa similarly to how commercially available skin products fabricated from epidermal cells are used for skin defects or in cases of intractable ulcers.Fabricated autologous oralmucosal-epithelial cell sheets have already been shown to be safe. | Shinichiro Kobayashi Nobuo Kanai Takeshi Ohki Ryo Takagi Naoyuki Yamaguchi Hajime Isomoto Yoshiyuki Kasai Takahiro Hosoi Kazuhiko Nakao Susumu Eguchi Masakazu Yamamoto Masayuki Yamato Teruo Okano | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,41: | 12 |

| 6 | Ornithine decarboxylase, mitogen-activated protein kinase and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expressions in human colon tumors显示文摘AIM: To investigate the expressions of omithine decarboxylase (ODC), MMP-2, and Erk, and their relationship in human colon tumors.METHODS: ODC activity, MMP-2 expression, and mitogenactivated protein (MAP) kinase activity (Erk phosphorylation) were determined in 58 surgically removed human colon tumors and their adjacent normal tissues, using [1-14C]-ornithine as a substrate, ELISA assay, and Western blotting, respectively.RESULTS: ODC activity, MMP-2 expression, and Erk phosphorylation were significantly elevated in colon tumors, compared to those in adjacent normal tissues. A significant correlation was observed between ODC activities and MMP-2 levels.CONCLUSION: This is the first report showing a significant correlation between ODC activities and MMP-2 levels in human colon tumors. As MMP-2 is involved in cancer invasion and metastasis, and colon cancer overexpresses ODC, suppression of ODC expression may be a rational approach to treat colon cancer which overexpresses ODC. | Takahiro Nemoto Shunichiro Kubota Hideyuki Ishida Nobuo Murata Daijo Hashimoto | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,20: | 12 |
| 7 | E2FBP1 antagonizes the p16^(INK4A)-Rb tumor suppressor machinery for growth suppression and cellular senescence by regulating promyelocytic leukemia protein stability显示文摘Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell cycle arrest triggered by the activation of oncogenes or mitogenic signaling as well as the enforced expression of tumor suppressors such as p53, p16 INK4A and promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) in normal cells. E2F-binding protein 1 (E2FBP1), a transcription regulator for E2F, induces PML reduction and suppresses the formation of PML-nuclear bodies, whereas the down-regulation of E2FBP1 provokes the PML-dependent premature senescence in human normal fibroblasts. Here we report that the depletion of E2FBP1 induces the accumulation of PML through the Ras-dependent activation of MAP kinase signaling. The cellular levels of p16 INK4A and p53 are elevated during premature senescence induced by depletion of E2FBP1, and the depletion of p16 INK4A , but not p53 rescued senescent cells from growth arrest. Therefore, the premature senescence induced by E2FBP1 depletion is achieved through the p16 INK4A -Rb pathway. Similar to human normal fibroblasts, the growth inhibition induced by E2FBP1 depletion is also observed in human tumor cells with intact p16 INK4A and Rb. These results suggest that E2FBP1 functions as a critical antagonist to the p16 INK4A -Rb tumor suppressor machinery by regulating PML stability. | Yayoi Fukuyo Akiko Takahashi Eiji Hara Nobuo Horikoshi Tej K.

| 8 | Cell sheet technology for regeneration of esophageal mucosa显示文摘The progress of tissue-engineering technology has realized development of new therapies to treat various disorders by using cultured cells. Cell-and tissue-based therapies have been successfully applied to human patients, and several tissue-engineered products have been approved by the regulatory agencies and are commercially available. In the review article, we describe our experience of development and clinical application of cell sheet-based regenerative medicine.Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have been shown to be useful for removal of gastrointestinal neoplasms with less invasiveness compared with open surgery, especially in esophageal surgery. However, postoperative inflammation and stenosis are major complications observed after intensive mucosal resection. Therefore, we have developed novel regenerative medicine to prevent such complications and promote wound healing of esophageal mucosa after EMR or ESD. Transplantable oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets were fabricated from patients' own oral mucosa. Immediately after EMR or ESD, fabricated autologous cell sheets were endoscopically transplanted to the ulcer sites. We performed a preclinical study with a canine model. In human clinical settings, cell culture and cell sheet fabrication were performed in clean rooms according to good manufacturing practice guidelines, and pharmaceutical drugs were used as supplements to culture medium in place of research regents used in animal study. We believe that cell-based regenerative medicine would be useful to improve quality of life of patients after EMR or ESD. | Ryo Takagi Masayuki Yamato Nobuo Kanai Daisuke Murakami Makoto Kondo Takaaki Ishii Takeshi Ohki Hideo Namiki Masakazu Yamamoto Teruo Okano | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,37: | 9 |
| 9 | Improvement of prognosis for unresectable biliary tract cancer显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the chemotherapeutic outcomes and confirm the recent improvement of prognosis for unresectable biliary tract cancer.METHODS:A total of 186 consecutive patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer,who had been treated with chemotherapy between 2000 and 2009 at five institutions in Japan,were retrospectively analyzed.These patients were divided into three groups based on the year beginning chemotherapy:Group A(2000-2003),Group B(2004-2006),and Group C(2007-2009).The data were fixed at the end of December 2011.Overall survival and time-to-progression were analyzed and compared chronologically.RESULTS:No patient characteristics were significantly different among the three groups.The gallbladder was involved in about half of the patients in each group,and metastatic biliary tract cancer was present in three quarters of the enrollees.In Group A,5-fluorouracilbased chemotherapies were primarily selected as firstline chemotherapy,and only 24% were treated with second-line chemotherapy.In Group B,gemcitabine or S-1 monotherapy was mainly introduced as firstline chemotherapy,and 51% of the patients who were refractory to first-line chemotherapy were treated with second-line chemotherapy mainly with monotherapy.In Group C,the combination therapy with gemcitabine and S-1 was mainly chosen as first-line chemotherapy,and 53% of the patients refractory to first-line chemotherapy were treated with second-line chemotherapy mainly with combination therapy.The median timeto-progressions were 4.4 mo,3.5 mo and 5.9 mo in Groups A,B and C,respectively(4.4 mo vs 3.5 mo vs 5.9 mo,P < 0.01).The median overall survivals were 7.1,7.3,and 11.7 mo in Groups A,B and C(7.1 mo vs 7.3 mo vs 11.7 mo,P = 0.03).Induction rates of all three drugs(gemcitabine,platinum analogs,and fluoropyrimidine) in Groups A,B and C were 4%,2% and 27%(4% vs 2% vs 27%,P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:The prognosis of unresectable biliary tract cancer has improved recently.Using three effective drugs(gemcitabine,platinum analogs,and fluoropyrimidine) may improve the prognosis of this cancer. | Takashi Sasaki Hiroyuki Isayama Yousuke Nakai Naminatsu Takahara Naoki Sasahira Hirofumi Kogure Suguru Mizuno Hiroshi Yagioka Yukiko Ito Natsuyo Yamamoto Kenji Hirano Nobuo Toda Minoru Tada Masao Omata Kazuhiko Koike | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 8 |

| 11 | Influence of synovia constituents on tribological behaviors of articular cartilage显示文摘The extremely low friction and minimal wear in natural synovial joints appear to be established by effective lubrication mechanisms based on appropriate combination of articular cartilage and synovial fluid.The complex structure of cartilage composed of collagen and proteoglycan with high water content contributes to high load-carrying capacity as biphasic materials and the various constituents of synovial fluid play important roles in various lubrication mechanisms.However,the detailed differences in functions of the intact and damaged cartilage tissues,and the interaction or synergistic action of synovia constituents with articular cartilage have not yet been clarified.In this study,to examine the roles of synovia constituents and the importance of cartilage surface conditions,the changes in friction were observed in the reciprocating tests of intact and damaged articular cartilage specimens against glass plate lubricated with lubricants containing phospholipid,protein and/or hyaluronic acid as main constituents in synovial fluid.The effectiveness of lubricant constituents and the influence of cartilage surface conditions on friction are discussed.In addition,the protectiveness by synovia constituents for intact articular cartilage surfaces is evaluated. | Teruo MURAKAMI Seido YARIMITSU Kazuhiro NAKASHIMA Yoshinori SAWAE Nobuo SAKAI | 2013 | Friction2013,1,2: | 7 |
| 12 | Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for treatment of gastric varices显示文摘Rupture of gastric varices(GVs)can be fatal.Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration(BRTO),as known as retrograde sclerotherapy,has been widely adopted for treatment of GVs because of its effectiveness,ability to cure,and utility in emergency and prophylactic treatment.Simplifying the route of blood flow from GVs to the gastrorenal shunt is important for the successful BRTO.This review outlines BRTO indications and contraindications,describes basic BRTO procedures and modifications,compares BRTO with other GVs treatments,and discusses various combination therapies.Combined BRTO and partial splenic embolization may prevent exacerbation of esophageal varices and shows promise as a treatment option. | Nobuo Waguri Akihiko Osaki Yusuke Watanabe | 2021 | World Journal of Hepatology2021,13,6: | 6 |

| 15 | Pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells: From basic research to applications显示文摘Basic research on pluripotent stem cells is designed to enhance understanding of embryogenesis, whereas applied research is designed to develop novel therapies and prevent diseases. Attainment of these goals has been enhanced by the establishment of embryonic stem cell lines, the technological development of genomic reprogramming to generate induced-pluripotent stem cells, and improvements in in vitro techniques to manipulate stem cells. This review summarizes the techniques required to generate neural cells from pluripotent stem cells. In particular, this review describes current research applications of a simple neural differentiation method, the neural stem sphere method, which we developed. | Masahiro Otsu Takashi Nakayama Nobuo Inoue | 2014 | World Journal of Stem Cells2014,6,5: | 5 |
| 16 | Endoplasmic reticulum stress transducer old astrocyte specifically induced substance contributes to astrogliosis after spinal cord injury显示文摘Old astrocyte specifically induced substance(OASIS) is an endoplasmic reticulum(ER) stress transducer specifically expressed in astrocytes and osteoblasts. OASIS regulates the differentiation of neural precursor cells into astrocytes in the central nervous system. This study aimed to elucidate the involvement of ER stress responses stimulated via OASIS in astrogliosis following spinal cord injury. In a mouse model of spinal cord contusion injury, OASIS m RNA and protein expression were evaluated at days 7 and 14. A significant increase in OASIS m RNA on day 7 and an increase in protein on days 7 and 14 was observed in injured spinal cords. Immunostaining on day 7 revealed co-localization of OASIS and astrocytes in the periphery of the injury site. Furthermore, anti-OASIS small interfering RNA(si RNA) was injected at the injury sites on day 5 to elucidate the function of OASIS. Treatment with anti-OASIS si RNA caused a significant decrease in OASIS m RNA on day 7 and protein on days 7 and 14, and was associated with the inhibition of astrogliosis and hindlimb motor function recovery. Results of our study show that OASIS expression synchronizes with astrogliosis and is functionally associated with astrogliosis after spinal cord injury. | Atsushi Takazawa Naosuke Kamei Nobuo Adachi Mitsuo Ochi | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,3: | 4 |

| 18 | Clinical analysis of high serum IgE in autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To clarify the clinical significance of high serum IgE in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS: Forty-two AIP patients, whose IgE was measured before steroid treatment, were analyzed. To evaluate the relationship between IgE levels and the disease activity of AIP, we examined (1) Frequency of high IgE (> 170 IU/mL) and concomitant allergic dis-eases requiring treatment; (2) Correlations between IgG, IgG4, and IgE; (3) Relationship between the presence of extrapancreatic lesions and IgE; (4) Re-lationship between clinical relapse and IgE in patients treated with steroids, and (5) Transition of IgE before and after steroid treatment. RESULTS: IgE was elevated in 36/42 (86%) patients.Concomitant allergic disease was observed in seven patients (allergic rhinitis in three, bronchial asthma in three, and urticaria in one). There were no signifi-cant correlations between IgG, IgG4, and IgE (r = -0.168 for IgG, and r = -0.188 for IgG4). There was no significant difference in IgE in the patients with and without extrapancreatic lesions (526 ± 531 IU/mL vs 819 ± 768 IU/mL, P = 0.163), with and without clini-cal relapse (457 ± 346 IU/mL vs 784 ± 786 IU/mL, P = 0.374). There was no significant difference in IgE between before and after steroid treatment (723 ± 744 IU/mL vs 673 ± 660 IU/mL, P = 0.633). CONCLUSION: Although IgE does not necessarily reflect the disease activity, IgE might be useful for the diagnosis of AIP in an inactive stage. | Kenji Hirano Minoru Tada Hiroyuki Isayama Kazumichi Kawakubo Hiroshi Yagioka Takashi Sasaki Hirofumi Kogure Yousuke Nakai Naoki Sasahira Takeshi Tsujino Nobuo Toda Kazuhiko Koike | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,41: | 4 |
| 19 | Efficacy of tolvaptan in patients with refractory ascites in a clinical setting显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the efficacies of tolvaptan(TLV) as a treatment for refractory ascites compared with conventional treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 120 refractory ascites patients between January 1, 2009 and September 31, 2014. Sixty patients were treated with oral TLV at a starting dose of 3.75 mg/d in addition to sodium restriction(> 7 g/d), albumin infusion(10-20 g/wk), and standard diuretic therapy(20-60 mg/d furosemide and 25-50 mg/d spironolactone) and 60 patients with large volume paracentesis in addition to sodium restriction(less than 7 g/d), albumin infusion(10-20 g/wk), and standard diuretic therapy(20-120 mg/d furosemide and 25-150 mg/d spironolactone). Patient demographics and laboratory data, including liver function, were not matched due to the small number of patients. Continuous variables were analyzed by unpaired t-test or paired t-test. Fisher's exact test was applied in cases comparing two nominal variables. We analyzed factors affecting clinical outcomes using receiver operating characteristic curves and multivariate regression analysis. We also used multivariate Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis to elucidate the risk factors that contributed to the increased incidence of ascites.RESULTS: TLV was effective in 38(63.3%) patients. The best cut-off values for urine output and reduced urine osmolality as measures of refractory ascites improvement were > 1800 mL within the first 24 h and > 30%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that > 25% reduced urine osmolality [odds ratio(OR) = 20.7; P < 0.01] and positive hepatitis C viral antibodies(OR = 5.93; P = 0.05) were positively correlated with an improvement of refractory ascites, while the total bilirubin level per 1.0 mg/dL(OR = 0.57;P = 0.02) was negatively correlated with improvement. In comparing the TLV group and controls, only the serum sodium level was significantly lower in the TLV group(133 mE q/L vs 136 mE q/L; P = 0.02). However, there were no significant differences in the other parameters between the two groups. The cumulative incidence rate was significantly higher in the control group with a median incidence time of 30 d in the TLV group and 20 d in the control group(P = 0.01). Cox hazard proportional multivariate analysis indicated that the use of TLV(OR = 0.58; P < 0.01), uncontrolled liver neoplasms(OR = 1.92; P < 0.01), total bilirubin level per 1.0 mg/dL(OR = 1.10; P < 0.01), and higher sodium level per 1.0 m Eq/L(OR = 0.94; P < 0.01) were independent factors that contributed to incidence. CONCLUSION: Administration of TLV results in better control of refractory ascites and reduced the incidence of additional invasive procedures or hospitalization compared with conventional ascites treatments. | Takamasa Ohki Koki Sato Tomoharu Yamada Mari Yamagami Daisaku Ito Koki Kawanishi Kentaro Kojima Michiharu Seki Nobuo Toda Kazumi Tagawa | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,12: | 4 |
