Background: Febuxostat has been reported to have a stronger effect on hyperuricemia than allopurinol. Methods and Results: Cardiac surgery patients with (n=141) were randomized febuxostat group or an allopurinol group. The study was single-blind, so the treatment not known by investigators. primary endpoint serum uric acid (UA) level. Secondary endpoints included creatinine, urinary albumin, cystatin-C, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), eicosapentaenoic acid/arachidonic ratio, total...
To confirm the efficacy of oral and parenteral antibiotic prophylaxis (ABX) in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.There is no evidence for establishment an optimal ABX regimen surgery, which has become important choice cancer patients.The patients scheduled to undergo surgery were eligible this multicenter, open-label, randomized trial. They receive either (1 g cefmetazole before every 3 h during plus 1 kanamycin 750 mg metronidazole twice on day surgery; Oral-IV group) or alone (the...
Recently, several types of centrifugal pumps have been widely used as the main for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, according to results our experimental studies, after cardiogenic shock, pulsatile flow was effective in maintaining functions and microcirculations end organs, especially those liver kidney. To estimate effectiveness pulsatility during CPB, cytokine endothelin other metabolic parameters were measured clinical nonpulsatile CPB cases. From March May 1997, performed 18...
Reported herein is a case of carcinoid tumor arising in duplication cyst the duodenum 34‐year‐old woman. Ultrasonography at health check‐up revealed 10 cm cystic mass located retroperitoneum adjacent to third portion duodenum. Macroscopically, it had smooth surface without communication with other organs and was filled brownish necrotic fluid. More than half inner wall occupied by white, irregular, solid nodule, which protruded into lumen. The nodule diagnosed as invasive deep muscular...
Aortic insufficiency (AI) often develops during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support and is related to a poor prognosis. As LVAD implantation the duration increase, risk of acquired aortic valve lesions may increase. We investigated pathological changes in its function after long-term support.Thirty-five hearts removed at heart transplantation were investigated. Thirty-one patients supported by extracorporeal pulsatile devices, 4 implantable devices. compared histological with...
Although right heart failure (RVF) is an important issue in the management of patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), benefits performing tricuspid valve repair conjunction LVAD implantation have not been demonstrated. We retrospectively reviewed records 141 who received as a bridge to transplant from May 1999 January 2013. assessed short- and long-term function 69 these underwent because moderate-to-severe regurgitation (TR) or severe dilatation annulus. RVF was defined need...
Background: The aim of the present study was to assess long-term graft patency rate radial artery (RA), in comparison saphenous vein (SV) patients harvested for both vessels. Methods and Results: RA SV were concomitantly used coronary bypass grafting 318 an 8-year period from January 2002 March 2010. During follow-up, assessed on angiography or multi-slice computed tomography 192 these patients. Cumulative rates compared between SV. Independent predictors failure examined at 8 years 74.3%...
Occurrence of atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery is associated with long-term mortality. We investigated whether infusion human natriuretic peptide (carperitide) could prevent postoperative fibrillation.A total 668 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to receive carperitide or physiological saline from the initiation cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients monitored continuously for 1 week detect fibrillation. The risk factors by Cox proportional...
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is associated with a heavy burden on the mental and physical health of patients, regional healthcare resources, global economic activity. While understanding incidence case-fatality rates has increased, there are limited data concerning seroprevalence antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in workers during pre-pandemic period. This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate SARS-CoV-2 southern part Kyoto...
Abstract Background Proximal gastrectomy (PG) has become an increasingly preferred procedure for early cancer in the upper third of stomach, owing to reportedly superior quality life (QOL) after PG when compared with total gastrectomy. However, various methods reconstruction have currently been proposed. We postoperative QOL among three different using Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale‐45 (PGSAS‐45) questionnaire. Methods Post Gastrectomy Study (PGSAS), a nationwide...
