Corticosteroid has been established as the standard therapy for autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), but requirement maintenance corticosteroid is controversial. We conducted a randomised controlled trial to clarify efficacy of in patients with AIP.We multicentre, tertiary setting, trial. After induction remission initial oral prednisolone (PSL) treatment, PSL at 5-7.5 mg/day was continued 3 years or withdrawn 26 weeks. The primary endpoint relapse-free survival over and secondary serious...
Objectives This retrospective multicenter study aimed to clarify the clinical impact of endotherapy for painless pancreatic duct (PD) stones compared with that in patients who received conservative treatment without endotherapy. Methods We enrolled 268 suffering from chronic pancreatitis PD (145 and 123 endotherapy) evaluated on radiological outcomes. Results When was set as a reference, complete clearance targeted decreased relative risk atrophy parenchyma after inclusion (hazard ratio [HR]...
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) may represent the early stage and usual (UIP) late of same disease. The purpose this study was to evaluate computed tomographic (CT) features DIP, changes in pattern extent disease over time, determine whether appearances DIP on CT scan change those UIP during follow up.Sequential evaluation conducted eight patients with a mean (SD) up period 3.2 (1.3) years (range 1.6-6.5). relative extents ground glass honeycombing were determined from serial...
OBJECTIVESSegmentectomy is one of the treatment options for small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although growing results support feasibility and efficacy, it still remains unclear in segmentectomy. The International Association Study Lung Cancer recommended a revised classification TNM staging 2009 (the seventh edition) multidisciplinary adenocarcinoma. We report here outcome totally thoracoscopic segmentectomy lobectomy T factor
✓ In patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), clinical symptoms and angiographic findings vary. The relevance of disturbed venous drainage to prognosis has been recognized. However, the roles cerebral hemodynamics metabolism, which are impaired by shunt flow or drainage, have not fully evaluated. authors studied hemodynamic metabolic status in 10 AVFs using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. Ten underwent a PET study before treatment. regional blood (rCBF),...
The aim of this study was to assess prevailing treatment pancreatolithiasis in Japan.We surveyed clinical data from 1834 patients (1479 men and 355 women) at 125 hospitals.Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) performed alone 103 (5.6%), ESWL plus an endoscopic procedure 446 (24.3%), 261 (14.2%), surgery 167 (9.1%). Other treatments were given 358 (19.5%), whereas 499 (27.2%) received no treatment. Symptoms relieved 85.7% after ESWL, 80.8% alone, 92.8% surgery. Early complication...
Background This study aims to assess the impact of reduced cisplatin doses on treatment efficacy and toxicity in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) renal impairment. Current guidelines suggest excluding impairment from treatment. However, reevaluating dose-adjusted based function is crucial. Methods A retrospective was conducted 68 diagnosed locally advanced or metastatic UC (T2-4N0M0, TanyN1-3M0 TanyNanyM1) between 2017 2024. These were divided into two groups: 40 received a full dose...
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are pathologically diagnosed by manually counting the eosinophils in biopsy tissue under microscopy. However, skill of individual examiner is considered to influence accuracy resulting eosinophil count (EC). This study aimed examine effects different examiners and histopathological staining types on EC results pathological tissues from patients with EGIDs. Infiltrating lesion 10 eosinophilic esophagitis 28 gastroenteritis cases were counted...
SUMMARY Four preparations were tested as potential vaccines to protect sheep against bovine leukemia virus ( blv ) infection. Purified glycoprotein (gp) 51 and protein (p) 24 antigens from the glutaraldehyde-fixed fetal lamb kidney flk cells chronically infected with or fibroblasts transformed (SF-28 cells) used inoculate 12 sheep. Each vaccine was given 3 times 2 4 weeks apart Six vaccinated gp51 antigen fixed developed complement-fixing antibody gp51; titers ranged 1:8 1:128 at time of...
Segmentectomy is the treatment of choice for small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, it difficult to decide surgical procedure because accurate evaluation hilar lymph node metastasis remains unclear. We here report outcome video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy with and without assessment sentinel nodes.Eighty-three patients stage IA NSCLC underwent VATS between January 2003 December 2010. Twenty indocyanine green fluorescence imaging biopsy (SNB) 63 did not....
The Japanese severity criteria for acute pancreatitis (AP), which consist of a prognostic factor score and contrast-enhanced computed tomography grade, have been widely used in Japan.This large multicenter retrospective study was conducted to validate the predictive value mortality complications severe AP patients comparison Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score.Data 1159 diagnosed with according were retrospectively collected 44 institutions.The area under curve...
Pleomorphic carcinoma is an uncommon malignant tumor of the lung. As there are few large-scale studies patients with pleomorphic carcinoma, clinical characteristics and behavior disease have been unclear until now. In this study, we investigated clinicopathological findings prognosis 21 carcinoma.We identified 930 cases pulmonary in which patient underwent a lung resection our institute between January 1999 June 2007. Of those patients, (2.6%) were diagnosed as determined by three...
Aim: We studied eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) to clarify the clinical and endoscopic features of a Japanese case series. Methods: Records 10 patients diagnosed with EE at our hospital between May 2010 December 2011 were examined for age, sex, symptoms, allergic disorder, findings, treatment received. Esophageal wall thickness was measured by ultrasonography (EUS). Results: Patients seven males three females mean age 48 years. Symptoms included dysphagia, heartburn, food impaction, chest...
Although an increasing number of approaches for pulmonary segmentectomy to treat early lung cancer are being used, there have been few reports on left upper lobe trisegmentectomy, which is midway between single and lobectomy, cancer.We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts 86 clinical stage I case-matched patients with a tumor size less than 2.0 cm in diameter located division who underwent resection June 1998 December 2005. The were divided into two groups as follows: LTS (31),...
