Abstract Aim Metabolic dysfunction is a risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). We investigated the impact of recently proposed metabolic dysfunction‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and its subtypes on ESCC recurrence after endoscopic treatment. Methods This multicenter observational cohort study enrolled consecutive patients newly diagnosed with Patients were classified into MAFLD or non‐MAFLD groups. The group was further non‐obese obese groups body mass index...
Abstract The patient is a 63‐year‐old woman. She underwent lower gastrointestinal endoscopy at her local doctor, and serrated lesion with honeycomb‐like depression in the surface mucosa of ascending colon measuring 35 mm size was observed. thought to be sessile (SSL), but since there lot mucus it difficult observe inside depression, SSL dysplasia also mentioned as possible diagnosis. referred our department endoscopic submucosal dissection colon. pathological results showed no component,...
Rotavirus gastroenteritis is severe and often results in dehydration pre-renal azotemia. However, we have encountered four children with acute obstructive uropathy associated rotavirus gastroenteritis, several similar cases been reported. Therefore, the aim of present study was to clarify epidemiology clinical features Japanese children.We sent questionnaires all members Society for Nephrology authors who had published case reports this disease Japan, inquiring about patient age at...
Summary: Background: Fecal calprotectin has been proposed as a useful biomarker of disease activity in inflammatory bowel (IBD). However, the role systemic circulation is not well established. Thus, this study aimed to quantify serum levels identify potential marker for IBD.
We examined the expression profile of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PBMCs were obtained 41 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, 34 Crohn's (CD) and 30 normal subjects. mRNA levels TRP measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, correlation tests ranking, as well laboratory parameters, performed. Compared controls, TRPV2 TRPC1 was lower, while that TRPM2, higher...
Smoking is a risk factor for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. However, mechanisms responsible smoking-induced are unclear. We examined the combined effect of nicotine, toxic substance in tobacco smoke, palmitate serum physiological concentration range on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression impairment glucose uptake C2C12 myotubes, since smokers do not have increased free fatty acid (FFA) concentrations with compared to nonsmokers. myotubes were incubated 24 h nicotine (1...
We investigated whether pravastatin ameliorates renal damage induced by cisplatin (CP). Forty-three male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: treated with a control diet for 19 days and saline injection on day 14 (group1), group 1 treatment (group 2), CP 3), 2 4). Renal function serum lipids, malondialdehyde (MDA) glutathione (GSH) levels, peroxidase (GPx) mRNA expression activity, kidney triglyceride (TG) concentrations measured. Histology was evaluated light microscopy...
Our conditional VHL knockout (VHL-KO) mice, having gene deletion induced by tamoxifen, developed severe hypoglycemia associated with disproportionately increased storage of PAS-positive substances in the liver and resulted death these mice. This hypoglycemic state was neither due to impaired insulin secretion nor receptor hypersensitivity. By focusing on insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), which has a similar effect glucose metabolism as receptor, we demonstrated that IGF-I (IGF-IR)...
Endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) is a novel suturing method that allows optimal and secure intraluminal [1] [2]. On the other hand, procedure reported to be complicated, difficult, time-consuming [3] [4]. At present, there no appropriate training model for it established learning it.
A 45-year-old woman with a tumor just beneath the left areola was referred to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings made us perform core needle biopsy of tumor, leading diagnosis invasive lobular carcinoma (cT1N0M0). MRI also depicted three daughter nodules located medially main in linear fashion. Patient's strong request for nipple preservation try resect breast cancer manner possibly preserve nipple-areolar complex. First, target four tumors, medial horizontal skin...
