Significance Statement Rituximab is the standard therapy for childhood-onset complicated frequently relapsing or steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRNS/SDNS). However, most patients redevelop FRNS/SDNS after peripheral B cell recovery. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to examine whether mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) administration rituximab can prevent treatment failure (FRNS, SDNS, steroid resistance, use of immunosuppressive agents...
Abstract Objectives: To assess the myocardium‐reperfusing effect of a distal protection device, GuardWire Plus™ (GuardWire Plus), in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Background: Distal embolization may result reduced perfusion, increasing risk non‐Q‐wave and death. devices protect microcirculation from embolic debris, improving short‐ long‐term clinical outcomes. Methods: From February 2002 to July 2003, total 341 AMI at 22 institutions Japan were enrolled present,...
Abstract Background The assessment of kidney size is essential for treating disease. However, there are no reliable and sufficiently robust ultrasonographic reference values or prediction formulas length in Japanese children, based on a sufficient number participants. Methods We retrospectively analyzed measurements by ultrasonography children aged 18 years younger from eight facilities throughout Japan between January 1991 September 2018. Detailed were developed aggregating the left right...
Abnormal flow velocity curves across the tricuspid valve (TV) and in superior vena cava have been described patients with abnormal right ventricular (RV) relaxation or restriction pericardial diseases by means of Doppler echocardiography. In this study, various imaging planes strategies velocity-encoded cine (VEC) MR for measurement peak E A velocities E/A ratio TV were evaluated compared to measurements 10 normal volunteers. addition, VEC-MR performed cava. Peak derived from...
Abstract Background Developmental programming of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in young adults is linked to preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Which confers a higher risk progression damage children with very low weight (VLBW; born weighing < 1500 g): prematurity or IUGR? Methods This national historical cohort study VLBW cared for perinatal medical centers Japan. Predictive factors included three latent variables (prematurity, IUGR, stress during neonatal period)...
Abstract Pierson syndrome (OMIM 609049) is typically characterized by congenital nephritic and peculiar ocular anomalies with microcoria. It caused mutations in LAMB2 , which encodes laminin β2. Approximately 50 of from approximately 40 unrelated families have been identified; however, most them were Western countries. Although three patients Asia reported, they not typical cases. We report the first Japanese case proven causative mutations. She presented nephrotic bilateral microcoria at...
