We have revealed that about one and a half thousand tiny clusters, filled with closely packed lymphocytes, can be found throughout the murine small large intestinal mucosa. They are located in crypt lamina propria (cryptopatches; CP) first detected at 14-17 d after birth. A fraction of lymphocytes CP expresses c-kit, IL-7R, Thy1 lymphocyte function-associated antigen, LFA-1, whereas most them remain CD3-, TCR alpha beta-, gamma delta-, sIgM-, B220-. The population size IL-2R alpha+, HSA+...
Cryptopatches (CPs) are part of the murine intestinal immune compartment. Cells isolated from CPs small intestine that were c-kit positive (c-kit + ) but lineage markers negative (Lin − gave rise to T cell receptor (TCR) αβ and TCR γδ intraepithelial cells after in vivo transfer or tissue engraftment into severe combined immunodeficient mice. In contrast, Peyer's patches mesenteric lymph nodes, which belong same compartment lack Lin cells, failed do so. These findings results electron...
Congenital hyperinsulinism is a rare condition, and following recent advances in diagnosis treatment, it was considered necessary to formulate evidence-based clinical practice guidelines reflecting the most progress, guide of neonatologists, pediatric endocrinologists, general pediatricians, surgeons. These cover range aspects, including features congenital hyperinsulinism, diagnostic criteria tools for diagnosis, first- second-line medical details surgical future perspectives. were...
We aimed to investigate the nationwide incidence, treatment details and outcomes of patients with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (EHH), including those transient/persistent congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), insulinoma, non-insulinoma pancreatogenous syndrome insulin autoimmune (Hirata's disease) in Japan.
Abstract Although hepatoblastoma is the most common pediatric liver cancer, its genetic heterogeneity and therapeutic targets are not well elucidated. Therefore, we conducted a multiomics analysis, including mutatome, DNA methylome, transcriptome analyses, of 59 samples. Based on methylation patterns, was classified into three clusters exhibiting remarkable correlation with clinical, histological, features. Cluster F largely composed cases fetal histology good outcomes, whereas E1 E2...
Abstract Lympho-hemopoietic progenitors residing in murine gut cryptopatches (CP) have been shown to generate intestinal intraepithelial T cells (IEL). To investigate the role of CP progenitor maturation, we analyzed IEL male mice with a truncated mutation common cytokine receptor γ-chain (CRγ−/Y) which were undetectable. IEL-expressing TCR-γδ (γδ-IEL) absent, and drastically reduced number Thy-1highCD4+ Thy-1highCD8αβ+ αβ-IEL present CRγ−/Y mice, whereas these disappeared from athymic...
Abstract Background Despite the presence of ganglion cells in rectum, some patients have symptoms similar to those Hirschsprung's disease. A consensus has yet be established regarding terminology for these diseases. We defined this group diseases as “allied disorders disease” and compiled guidelines facilitate accurate clinician diagnosis provide appropriate treatment strategies each Methods These were developed using methodologies Medical Information Network Distribution System ( MINDS )....
Abstract Background Multicenter study was undertaken to analyze the results of laparoscopic and open Kasai portoenterostomy. Methods Subjects were infants with type III biliary atresia who underwent operation ( n = 106) or 21) between January 2012 December 2015. Clinical data compared operations (2016‐0534). Propensity score matching performed reduce effect treatment selection bias. Multivariate analyses used estimate surgical approach on jaundice clearance rate native liver survival rate....
Abstract Background Biliary atresia (BA) is an intractable disease of unknown cause that develops in the neonatal period. It causes jaundice and liver damage due to destruction extrahepatic biliary tracts,. We have found heterozygous knockout mice SRY related HMG-box 17 (Sox17) gene, a master regulator stem/progenitor cells gallbladder wall, exhibit condition like BA. However, precise contribution hypoplastic wall pathogenesis hepatobiliary Sox17 embryos human BA remains unclear. Methods...
