Few studies with sufficient statistical power have shown the association of z score coronary arterial internal diameter events (CE) in patients Kawasaki disease (KD) artery aneurysms (CAA).To clarify time-dependent CE occurrence KD CAA.This multicenter, collaborative retrospective cohort study 44 participating institutions included 1006 younger than 19 years who received a angiography between 1992 and 2011.The CE, including thrombosis, stenosis, obstruction, acute ischemic events,...
This study was designed to explore whether it possible evaluate the severity of VSD, PDA, and ASD by measuring brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. We also investigated normal BNP levels in children provide a baseline for our study. measured 253 children, including 11 neonates, 91 VSD patients, 29 PDA 34 patients. showed no age-related differences (the mean value: 5.3 +/- 3.8 pg/ml). In healthy rose from 10.4 11.9 pg/ml cord blood 118.8 83.2 on day 0, then fell 15.3 7.8 7. correlated...
Background Coronary arterial aneurysms (CAAs) associated with Kawasaki disease (KD) significantly affect prognosis. However, the clinical course of CAAs and factors CAA regression have not been well analyzed. Methods Results The cohort Z-Score 2nd Project Stage study, a multicenter, retrospective, study involving 44 institutions in Japan including 1006 patients KD, was examined. were classified by z score their internal diameter acute phase: small (z<5), medium (5≤z<10), large (z≥10). lower...
Monolayer graphene absorbs 2.3 percent of the incident visible light. This “small” absorption has been used to emphasize visual transparency graphene, but it in fact means that multilayer a sizable fraction light, which causes non-negligible fluorescence. In this paper, we formulate light emission properties composed tens hundreds layers using transfer matrix method and confirm method’s validity experimentally. We quantitatively explain measured contrasts on SiO2/Si substrates find...
Abstract Cantu syndrome is an autosomal dominant overgrowth associated with facial dysmorphism, congenital hypertrichosis, and cardiomegaly. Some affected individuals show bone undermodeling of variable severity. Recent investigations revealed that the disorder caused by a mutation in ABCC9 , encoding regulatory SUR2 subunit ATP‐sensitive potassium channel mainly expressed cardiac skeletal muscle as well vascular smooth muscle. We report here on Japanese family this syndrome. An boy his...
A 29-year-old woman who underwent the Fontan procedure at 10 years of age had an incidental finding liver masses on abdominal ultrasonography. Subsequent gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid magnetic resonance imaging showed a 15 mm hypervascular mass with washout in hepatobiliary phase segment 4 (S4), and 18 without 2 (S2). The S2 was pathologically diagnosed to be regenerative nodule by ultrasound-guided needle biopsy, S4 as poorly differentiated hepatocellular...
Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which is emerging in adults long after confirmed (followed-up or lost-to-follow), missed Kawasaki disease (KD), poorly characterized. Methods and Results: A Japanese retrospective nationwide hospital-based questionnaire survey of ACS during 2000-09 was conducted to characterize such patients. Among a total 67 patients (median age 35, male 76%) recruited, low conventional risks (≤1/6) noted 75%, diagnosis ST-elevation myocardial infarction cardiac...

We report on 5 patients who developed hemolysis (the Hemolysis group) following coil occlusion for PDA, and compare their data to 66 cases which were not complicated by despite residual leak No group). A significant with a heart murmur was more frequent in the group than group. The ratio of sum loop diameter coils minimal ductus (C/D) those persistent that needed second intervention (2.2 ± 0.4) significantly smaller (3.1 1.1). Persistent can occur if shunt remains after implantation small...
Abstract Low frequency resistance variations due to mobility fluctuations is one of the key factors 1/ f noise in metallic conductors. According theory, such a two-dimensional (2D) device can be suppressed zero at small magnetic fields, implying important technological benefits for low 2D devices. In this work, we provide evidence anisotropic by demonstrating strong field-induced suppression high-mobility graphene Corbino disk, even though displays only tiny amount inherently. The depends on...
We describe two new cases of pure 1q terminal deletions. BAC FISH analysis precisely defined the size The first is a girl with 10.3-Mb deletion showed typical features 1q43 as well simplified gyral pattern, which was rarely found in deletion. other boy also presented most but several atypical symptoms were noted including hydrocephalus, adducted thumbs, and flexion restriction proximal interphalangeal joints left hand. A concomitant novel missense mutation L1CAM identified addition to...
The acid protease produced from Rhodotorula glutinis K-24 was purified and crystallized by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, fractional acetone, gel-filtration Sephadex G-100, pH adjustment. recovery of activity about 40 percent, 80~100mg third enzyme obtained one liter broth. chromatographically homogeneous confirmed to be monodispersive physicochemical criteria. most active at values between 2.0 2.5 toward casein, stable 6.5 on twenty hour incubation 37°. Comparing several proteases...
We surveyed Japanese experience of coil occlusion patent ductus arteriosus up to 30 September 1996 by sending questionnaires 175 hospitals. Thirty-four hospitals reported outcome data for 231 procedures in 218 patients. Successful implantation was achieved 94% and acute complete closure the occurred 71% those whom successful. Of latter, 83% late closure. When patients who underwent reocclusion residual shunt are included, 89% attained No life-threatening complications have so far. Late...
Isolated left atrial appendage ( LAA ) ostial stenosis is a very rare entity found coincidentally in adults by transesophageal echocardiography. A 3‐month‐old healthy infant was suspected as having cor triatriatum. His brother had history of surgical treatment cardiac catheterization revealed narrowed ostium the and confirmed echocardiographic diagnosis isolated stenosis. This first pediatric case idiopathic The siblings called our attention to differential etiopathogenesis between
Abstract Background: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is an important finding in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). The aim of the present study was to investigate changes degree TR after preoperative management HLHS with mechanical ventilation, and whether improvement under would affect short‐term prognosis Norwood operation. Methods: Clinical echocardiographic data 55 patients who underwent echocardiography at Department Pediatrics, Okayama University Graduate School Medicine Dentistry,...
