| 1 | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a novel predictor of cardiovascular disease显示文摘AIM:To clarify whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.METHODS:We carried out a prospective observational study with a total of 1637 apparently healthy Japanese men and women who were recruited from a health check-up program.NAFLD was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasonography.The metabolic syndrome(MS)was defined according to the modified National Cholesterol Education Program(NCEP)ATP Ⅲ criteria.Five years after the baseline evaluations,the incidence of cardiovascular disease was assessed by a self-administered questionnaire.RESULTS:Among 1221 participants available for outcome analyses,the incidence of cardiovascular disease was higher in 231 subjects with NAFLD at baseline(5 coronary heart disease,6 ischemic stroke,and 1 cerebral hemorrhage)than 990 subjects without NAFLD(3 coronary heart disease,6 ischemic stroke,and 1 cerebral hemorrhage).Multivariate analyses indicated that NAFLD was a predictor of cardiovascular disease independent of conventional risk factors(odds ratio 4.12,95% CI,1.58 to 10.75,P = 0.004).MS was alsoindependently associated with cardiovascular events.But simultaneous inclusion of NAFLD and MS in a multivariate model revealed that NAFLD but not MS retained a statistically significant correlation with cardiovascular disease.CONCLUSION:Although both of them were predictors of cardiovascular disease,NAFLD but not MS retained a statistically significant correlation with cardiovascular disease in a multivariate model.NAFLD is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease and may play a central role in the cardiovascular risk of MS. | Masahide Hamaguchi Takao Kojima Noriyuki Takeda Chisato Nagata Jun Takeda Hiroshi Sarui Yutaka Kawahito Naohisa Yoshida Atsushi Suetsugu Takahiro Kato Junichi Okuda Kazunori Ida Toshikazu Yoshikawa | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,10: | 55 |
| 2 | Blockade of high mobility group box-1 protein attenuates experimental severe acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To examine the effects of anti-high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) neutralizing antibody in experimental se-vere acute pancreatitis (SAP).METHODS: SAP was induced by creating closed duode-nal loop in C3H/HeN mice. SAP was induced immediately after intraperitoneal injection of anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody (200 μg). Severity of pancreatitis, organ injury (liver, kidney and lung), and bacterial translocation to pancreas was examined 12 h after induction of SAP.RESULTS: Anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody significant-ly improved the elevation of the serum amylase level and the histological alterations of pancreas and lung in SAP. Anti-HMGB1 antibody also significantly ameliorated the elevations of serum alanine aminotransferase and cre-atinine in SAP. However, anti-HMGB1 antibody worsened the bacterial translocation to pancreas.CONCLUSION: Blockade of HMGB1 attenuated the development of SAP and associated organ dysfunction, suggesting that HMGB1 may act as a key mediator for inflammatory response and organ injury in SAP. | Hidehiro Sawa Takashi Ueda Yoshifumi Takeyama Takeo Yasuda Makoto Shinzeki Takahiro Nakajima Yoshikazu Kuroda | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,47: | 45 |
| 3 | Preoperative evaluation of colorectal cancer using CT colonography, MRI, and PET/CT显示文摘Imaging studies are a major component in the evaluation of patients for the screening,staging and surveillance of colorectal cancer.This review presents commonly encountered findings in the diagnosis and staging of patients with colorectal cancer using computed tomography(CT)colonography,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and positron emission tomography(PET)/CT colonography.CT colonography provides important information for the preoperative assessment of T staging.Wall deformities are associated with muscular or subserosal invasion.Lymph node metastases from colorectal cancer often present with calcifications.CT is superior to detect calcified metastases.Three-dimensional CT to image the vascular anatomy facilitates laparoscopic surgery.T staging of rectal cancer by MRI is an established modality because MRI can diagnose rectal wall laminar structure.N staging in patients with colorectal cancer is still challenging using any imaging modality.MRI is more accurate than CT for the evaluation of liver metastases.PET/CT colonography isvaluable in the evaluation of extra-colonic and hepatic disease.PET/CT colonography is useful for obstructing colorectal cancers that cannot be traversed colonoscopically.PET/CT colonography is able to localize synchronous colon cancers proximal to the obstruction precisely.However,there is no definite evidence to support the routine clinical use of PET/CT colonography. | Shigeyoshi Kijima Takahiro Sasaki Koichi Nagata Kenichi Utano Alan T Lefor Hideharu Sugimoto | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,45: | 46 |
| 4 | Achieving the best bowel preparation for colonoscopy显示文摘Bowel preparation is a core issue in colonoscopy,as it is closely related to the quality of the procedure.Patients often find that bowel preparation is the most unpleasant part of the examination.It is widely accepted that the quality of cleansing must be excellent to facilitate detecting neoplastic lesions.In spite of its importance and potential implications,until recently,bowel preparation has not been the subject of much study.The most commonly used agents are high-volume polyethylene glycol(PEG)electrolyte solution and sodium phosphate.There has been some confusion,even in published meta-analyses,regarding which of the two agents provides better cleansing.It is clear now that both PEG and sodium phosphate are effectivewhen administered with proper timing.Consequently,the timing of administration is recognized as one of the central factors to the quality of cleansing.The bowel preparation agent should be administered,at least in part,a few hours in advance of the colonoscopy.Several low volume agents are available,and either new or modified schedules with PEG that usually improve tolerance.Certain adjuvants can also be used to reduce the volume of PEG,or to improve the efficacy of other agents.Other factors apart from the choice of agent can improve the quality of bowel cleansing.For instance,the effect of diet before colonoscopy has not been completely clarified,but an exclusively liquid diet is probably not required,and a low-fiber diet may be preferable because it improves patient satisfaction and the quality of the procedure.Some patients,such as diabetics and persons with heart or kidney disease,require modified procedures and certain precautions.Bowel preparation for pediatric patients is also reviewed here.In such cases,PEG remains the most commonly used agent.As detecting neoplasia is not the main objective with these patients,less intensive preparation may suffice.Special considerations must be made for patients with inflammatory bowel disease,including safety and diagnostic issues,so that the most adequate agent is chosen.Identifying neoplasia is one of the main objectives of colonoscopy with these patients,and the target lesions are often almost invisible with white light endoscopy.Therefore excellent quality preparation is required to find these lesions and to apply advanced methods such as chromoendoscopy.Bowel preparation for patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding represents a challenge,and the strategies available are also reviewed here. | Adolfo Parra-Blanco Alex Ruiz Manuel Alvarez-Lobos Ana Amorós Juan Cristóbal Gana Patricio Ibáez Akiko Ono Takahiro Fujii | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,47: | 37 |

| 6 | Diagnosis of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis显示文摘IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis(IgG4-SC)is often associated with autoimmune pancreatitis.However,the diffuse cholangiographic abnormalities observed in IgG4-SC may resemble those observed in primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC),and the presence of segmental stenosis suggests cholangiocarcinoma(CC).IgG4-SC responds well to steroid therapy,whereas PSC is only effectively treated with liver transplantation and CC requires surgical intervention.Since IgG4-SC was first described,it has become a third distinct clinical entity of sclerosing cholangitis.The aim of this review was to introduce the diagnostic methods for IgG4-SC.IgG4-SC should be carefully diagnosed based on a combination of characteristic clinical,serological,morphological,and histopathological features after cholangiographic classification and targeting of a disease for differential diagnosis.When intrapancreatic stenosis is detected,pancreatic cancer or CC should be ruled out.If multiple intrahepatic stenoses are evident,PSC should be distinguished on the basis of cholangiographic findings and liver biopsy with IgG4 immunostaining.Associated inflammatory bowel disease is suggestive of PSC.If stenosis is demonstrated in the hepatic hilar region,CC should be discriminated by ultrasonography,intraductal ultrasonography,bile duct biopsy,and a higher cutoff serum IgG4 level of 182 mg/dL. | Takahiro Nakazawa Itaru Naitoh Kazuki Hayashi Katsuyuki Miyabe Shuya Simizu Takashi Joh | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,43: | 20 |
| 7 | Aging is a risk factor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in premenopausal women显示文摘AIM: To clarify the relationship between age, menopause, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in women. METHODS: We conducted a follow-up study on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by using abdominal ultrasonography, and investigated the relationship of age and menopause with the development of NAFLD in women. We followed 1829 women and 2572 men (response rate, 86%) selected in 2001 to represent the non-institutionalized adult population of Gifu, Japan. Data collected included self-reported medical history, lifestyle factors, and menopausal status. The postmenopausal state was defined as beginning 1 year after the cessation of menses. We diagnosed NAFLD with the aid of abdominal ultrasonography by using diagnostic criteria describedRESULTS: The prevalence of NAFLD in women increases with age, but does not alter with age in men. Furthermore, the prevalence of NAFLD in premenopausal women (6%) was lower than that in men (24%) and in postmenopausal women (15%). The associations of the postmenopausal state and hormone replacement therapy with NAFLD were statistically significant in a univariate logistic regression model. At the follow-up examination, 67 women (5%) were newly diagnosed with NAFLD. The incidence of NAFLD was 3.5% (28/802) in premenopausal women, 7.5% (4/53) in menopausal women, 6.1% (24/392) in postmenopausal women, and 5.3% (11/206) in women receiving hormone replacement therapy. The weight gain in premenopausal women was equal to that in postmenopausal women. Metabolic syndrome and weight gain were independent risk factors for NAFLD in pre-and postmenopausal women, but age was an independent risk factor in premenopausal women only. CONCLUSION: Aging is a risk factor for NAFLD in premenopausal women, independent of weight gain or influence of metabolic syndrome. | Masahide Hamaguchi Takao Kojima Akihiro Ohbora Noriyuki Takeda Michiaki Fukui Takahiro Kato | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,3: | 19 |
| 8 | Prognostic significance of the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the prognostic significance of the lymphocyte to monocyte ratio(LMR) in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who received palliative chemotherapy.METHODS:A total of 104 patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who underwent palliative chemotherapy were enrolled. The LMR was calculated from blood samples by dividing the absolute lymphocyte count by the absolute monocyte count. Pretreatment LMR values were measured within one week before the initiation of chemotherapy,while posttreatment LMR values were measured eight weeks after the initiation of chemotherapy.RESULTS:The median pre-treatment LMR was 4.16(range:0.58-14.06). We set 3.38 as the cut-off level based on the receiver operating characteristic curve. Based on the cut-off level of 3.38,66 patients were classified into the high pre-treatment LMR group and 38 patients were classified into the low pretreatment LMR group. The low pre-treatment LMR group had a significantly worse overall survival rate(P = 0.0011). Moreover,patients who demonstrated low pre-treatment LMR and normalization after treatmentexhibited a better overall survival rate than the patients with low pre-treatment and post-treatment LMR values.CONCLUSION:The lymphocyte to monocyte ratio is a useful prognostic marker in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who receive palliative chemotherapy. | Masatsune Shibutani Kiyoshi Maeda Hisashi Nagahara Hiroshi Ohtani Katsunobu Sakurai Sadaaki Yamazoe Kenjiro Kimura Takahiro Toyokawa Ryosuke Amano Hiroaki Tanaka Kazuya Muguruma Kosei Hirakawa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,34: | 19 |

| 10 | Chronic atrophic gastritis detection with a convolutional neural network considering stomach regions显示文摘BACKGROUND The risk of gastric cancer increases in patients with Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG).X-ray examination can evaluate the condition of the stomach,and it can be used for gastric cancer mass screening.However,skilled doctors for interpretation of X-ray examination are decreasing due to the diverse of inspections.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of stomach regions that are automatically estimated by a deep learning-based model for CAG detection.METHODS We used 815 gastric X-ray images(GXIs)obtained from 815 subjects.The ground truth of this study was the diagnostic results in X-ray and endoscopic examinations.For a part of GXIs for training,the stomach regions are manually annotated.A model for automatic estimation of the stomach regions is trained with the GXIs.For the rest of them,the stomach regions are automatically estimated.Finally,a model for automatic CAG detection is trained with all GXIs for training.RESULTS In the case that the stomach regions were manually annotated for only 10 GXIs and 30 GXIs,the harmonic mean of sensitivity and specificity of CAG detection were 0.955±0.002 and 0.963±0.004,respectively.CONCLUSION By estimating stomach regions automatically,our method contributes to the reduction of the workload of manual annotation and the accurate detection of the CAG. | Misaki Kanai Ren Togo Takahiro Ogawa Miki Haseyama | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,25: | 17 |
| 11 | Usefulness of noninvasive transient elastography for assessment of liver fibrosis stage in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the method of noninvasive transient elastography for assessment of histological stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS: Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with CHC were included in this study. Liver biopsy was performed under ultrasonography on 217 of the patients, excluding twenty with clear clinical evidence of liver cirrhosis. Fifty subjects without liver disease were enrolled as a control group (stage 0). Twenty- five patients with sustained virological response (SVR) to interferon (IFN) therapy were also enrolled. These patients underwent liver biopsy before IFN therapy. Examination of liver stiffness (LS) was performed by elastography. RESULTS: Medians (50% levels) of LS were 4.1 (3.5-4.9), 6.3 (4.8-8.5), 8.8 (6.8-12.0), 14.6 (10.5-18.6), and 22.2 (15.4-28.0), respectively, in the fibrosis stages 0-4 (P < 0.001). LS was significantly correlated with four serum fibrosis markers. LS values in patients with SVR were 3.8 (3.5-5.6), 5.2 (4.4-6.8), 6.8 (6.1-7.6), and 6.1 (3.6-7.9), respectively, in the fibrosis stages 1-4. In all stages, LS for patients with SVR was significantly lower than that for patients who did not undergo IFN therapy. LS was significantly correlated with serum concentrations of hyaluronic acid, type Ⅳ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen 7S, and type Ⅲ procollagen N peptide. CONCLUSION: LS correlated well with the histologicalstage of fibrosis. Changes in liver fibrosis stage may thus be estimated noninvasively using transient elastography. | Tadashi Takeda Takahiro Yasuda Yuji Nakayama Mika Nakaya Megumi Kimura Mariko Yamashita Ayumi Sawada Koji Abo Setsuko Takeda Hiroki Sakaguchi Susumu Shiomi Hitoshi Asai Shuichi Seki | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,48: | 16 |
| 12 | Current status in remnant gastric cancer after distal gastrectomy显示文摘Remnant gastric cancer(RGC) and gastric stump cancer after distal gastrectomy(DG) are recognized as the same clinical entity. In this review, the current knowledges as well as the non-settled issues of RGC are presented. Duodenogastric reflux and denervation of the gastric mucosa are considered as the two main factors responsible for the development of RGC after benign disease. On the other hand, some precancerous circumstances which already have existed at the time of initial surgery, such as atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, are the main factors associated with RGC after gastric cancer. Although eradication of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) in remnant stomach is promising, it is still uncertain whether it can reduce the risk of carcinogenesis. Periodic endoscopic surveillance after DG was reported useful in detecting RGC at an early stage, which offers a chance to undergo minimally invasive endoscopic treatment or laparoscopic surgery and leads to an improved prognosis in RGC patients. Future challenges may be expected to elucidate the benefit of eradication of H. pylori in the remnant stomach if it could reduce the risk for RGC, to build an optimal endoscopic surveillance strategy after DG by stratifying the risk for development of RGC, and to develop a specific staging system for RGC for the standardization of the treatment by prospecting the prognosis. | Masaichi Ohira Takahiro Toyokawa Katsunobu Sakurai Naoshi Kubo Hiroaki Tanaka Kazuya Muguruma Masakazu Yashiro Naoyoshi Onoda Kosei Hirakawa | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,8: | 15 |
| 13 | STI571 (Glivec) suppresses the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line,GIST-T1显示文摘AIM:To estimate whether STI571 inhibits the expressionof vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in thegastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)cells.METHODS:We used GIST cell line,GIST-T1.It hasa heterogenic 57-bp deletion in exon 11 to produce amutated c-KIT,which results in constitutive activationof c-KIT.Cells were treated with/without STI571 orstem cell factor(SCF).Transcription and expression ofVEGF were determined by RT-PCR and flow cytometryor Western blotting,respectively.Activated c-KIT wasestimated by immunoprecipitation analysis.Cell viabilitywas determined by MTT assay.RESULTS:Activation of c-KIT was inhibited bySTI571 treatment.VEGF was suppressed at both thetranscriptional and translational levels in a temporal anddose-dependent manner by STI571.SCF upregulatedthe expression of VEGF and it was inhibited by STI571.STI571 also reduced the cell viability of the GIST-T1cells,as determined by MTT assay.CONCLUSION:Activation of c-KIT in the GIST-T1regulated the expression of VEGF and it was inhibited bySTI571.STI571 has antitumor effects on the GIST cellswith respect to not only the inhibition of cell growth,butalso the suppression of VEGF expression. | Toufeng Jin Hajime Nakatani Takahiro Taguchi Takumi Nakano Takehiro Okabayashi Takeki Sugimoto Michiya Kobayashi Keijiro Araki | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,5: | 14 |

| 15 | Identification of individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by the diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM:To clarify the efficiency of the criterion of metabolic syndrome to detecting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS:Authors performed a cross-sectional study involving participants of a medical health checkup program including abdominal ultrasonography.This study involved 11 714 apparently healthy Japanese men and women,18 to 83 years of age.NAFLD was defined by abdominal ultrasonography without an alcohol intake of more than 20 g/d,known liver disease,or current use of medication.The revised criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment PanelⅢ were used to characterize the metabolic syndrome.RESULTS:NAFLD was detected in 32.2%(95%CI:31.0%-33.5%)of men(n=1874 of 5811)and in 8.7%(95%CI:8.0%-9.5%)of women(n=514 of 5903).Among obese people,the prevalence of NAFLD was as high as 67.3%(95%CI:64.8%-69.7%)in men and 45.8%(95%CI:41.7%-50.0%)in women.Although NAFLD was thought of as being the liver phenotype of metabolic syndrome,the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among subjects with NAFLD was low both in men and women.66.8%of men and 70.4%of women with NAFLD were not diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome.48.2%of men with NAFLD and 49.8%of women with NAFLD weren't overweight[body mass index(BMI)≥25 kg/m2].In the same way,68.6%of men with NAFLD and 37.9%of women with NAFLD weren't satisfied with abdominal classification(≥90 cm for men and≥80 cm for women).Next,authors defined it as positive at screening for NAFLD when participants satisfied at least one criterion of metabolic syndrome.The sensitivity of the definition'at least 1 criterion'was as good as 84.8%in men and 86.6%in women.Separating subjects by BMI,the sensitivity was higher in obese men and women than in non-obese men and women(92.3%vs 76.8%in men,96.1%vs 77.0%in women,respectively).CONCLUSION:Authors could determine NAFLD effectively in epidemiological study by modifying the usage of the criteria for metabolic syndrome. | Masahide Hamaguchi Noriyuki Takeda Takao Kojima Akihiro Ohbora Takahiro Kato Hiroshi Sarui Michiaki Fukui Chisato Nagata Jun Takeda | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,13: | 13 |
| 16 | Prevention of esophageal strictures after endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘Endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) have recently been accepted as less invasive methods for treating patients with early esophageal cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma and dysplasia of Barrett's esophagus.However,the large defects in the esophageal mucosa often cause severe esophageal strictures,which dramatically reduce the patient's quality of life.Although preventive endoscopic balloon dilatation can reduce dysphagia and the frequency of dilatation,other approaches are necessary to prevent esophageal strictures after ESD.This review describes several strategies for preventing esophageal strictures after ESD,with a particular focus on anti-inflammatory and tissue engineering approaches.The local injection of triamcinolone acetonide and other systemic steroid therapies are frequently used to prevent esophageal strictures after ESD.Tissue engineering approaches for preventing esophageal strictures have recently been applied in basic research studies.Scaffolds with temporary stents have been applied in five cases,and this technique has been shown to be safe and is anticipated to prevent esophageal strictures.Fabricated autologous oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets to cover the defective mucosa similarly to how commercially available skin products fabricated from epidermal cells are used for skin defects or in cases of intractable ulcers.Fabricated autologous oralmucosal-epithelial cell sheets have already been shown to be safe. | Shinichiro Kobayashi Nobuo Kanai Takeshi Ohki Ryo Takagi Naoyuki Yamaguchi Hajime Isomoto Yoshiyuki Kasai Takahiro Hosoi Kazuhiko Nakao Susumu Eguchi Masakazu Yamamoto Masayuki Yamato Teruo Okano | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,41: | 12 |
| 17 | Ornithine decarboxylase, mitogen-activated protein kinase and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expressions in human colon tumors显示文摘AIM: To investigate the expressions of omithine decarboxylase (ODC), MMP-2, and Erk, and their relationship in human colon tumors.METHODS: ODC activity, MMP-2 expression, and mitogenactivated protein (MAP) kinase activity (Erk phosphorylation) were determined in 58 surgically removed human colon tumors and their adjacent normal tissues, using [1-14C]-ornithine as a substrate, ELISA assay, and Western blotting, respectively.RESULTS: ODC activity, MMP-2 expression, and Erk phosphorylation were significantly elevated in colon tumors, compared to those in adjacent normal tissues. A significant correlation was observed between ODC activities and MMP-2 levels.CONCLUSION: This is the first report showing a significant correlation between ODC activities and MMP-2 levels in human colon tumors. As MMP-2 is involved in cancer invasion and metastasis, and colon cancer overexpresses ODC, suppression of ODC expression may be a rational approach to treat colon cancer which overexpresses ODC. | Takahiro Nemoto Shunichiro Kubota Hideyuki Ishida Nobuo Murata Daijo Hashimoto | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,20: | 12 |
| 18 | Protective effect of alcohol consumption for fatty liver but not metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of alcohol on the metabolic syndrome (MS) and fatty liver in Japanese men and women.METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted in a medical health checkup program at a general hospital.This study involved 18 571 Japanese men and women,18-88 years of age,with a mean body mass index of 22.6 kg/m 2.A standardized questionnaire was administered.The total amount of alcohol consumed per week was calculated,and categorized into four grades.Fatty liver was examined by ultrasound modified criteria of the revised National Cholesterol Educa-tion Program Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ and the new International Diabetes Federation.RESULTS:The prevalence of fatty liver decreased in men and women with light to moderate alcohol consumption,whereas the prevalence of MS was not so changed.The prevalence of fatty liver of any grade in men was lower than that in those with no or minimal alcohol consumption.In women with light to moderate alcohol consumption,prevalence of fatty liver was lower than that in women with no or minimal alcohol consumption.By logistic regression analysis,the odds ratio (OR) for MS in women with light alcohol consumption was decreased to < 1.0,but this change was not clear in men.The OR for fatty liver was clearly < 1.0 in men with any level of alcohol consumption and in women with light to moderate consumption.CONCLUSION:Light to moderate alcohol consumption has a favorable effect for fatty liver,but not for MS in Japanese men and women. | Masahide Hamaguchi Takao Kojima Akihiro Ohbora Noriyuki Takeda Michiaki Fukui Takahiro Kato | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,2: | 12 |
| 19 | Function of shoulder muscles of driver in vehicle steering maneuver显示文摘In order to study the function of muscles of driver shoulder during vehicle steering, identification of relations between electromyograph (EMG) activity of 10 shoulder muscles and steering force was performed. The procedure was to perform controlled steering maneuver by right hand in a driving simulator, and based on analyzing the EMG data with steering force in the steering wheel plane, the function was identified. It was found that muscle function depends strongly on both steering rotation and steering torque directions. In clockwise steering, the long head of triceps brachii was the prime mover and an important contributor to clockwise moment, while the sternocostal portion of the pectoralis major, the lateral head of triceps brachii, biceps brachii and teres major were the important stabilizers or fixators. In contrast, in counterclockwise steering, the anterior, middle and posterior deltoid, the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major and infraspinatus were the prime movers and also the important contributors to counterclockwise moment, while the sternocostal portion of the pectoralis major, the lateral head of triceps brachii, biceps brachii and teres major were the important stabilizers or fixators. We conclude that the prime movers are primarily a consequence of steering direction, while the stabilizers or fixators are primarily constant. These results can be used to improve the neuromuscular model and estimate the steering comfort of driver. | LIU YaHui JI XueWu RYOUHEI Hayama TAKAHIRO Mizuno LOU LiMing | 2012 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2012,55,12: | 12 |
| 20 | Surgical treatment of HCC in a patient with lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B cirrhosis with adefovir dipivoxil显示文摘We describe a 77-year-old woman with chronic hepatitis B who became resistant to lamivudine.She was started on adefovir(10 mg daily)while still continuing lamivudine therapy.Four mo later her liver function improved and serum Hepatitis B virus(HBV)-DNA level became undetectable.Three years after the start of additional adefovir treatment,hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)was detected and the patient underwent a successful hepa-tectomy.Our findings suggest tha-t the addition of adefovir to ongoing lamivudine therapy cannot completely suppress hepatocarcinogenesis,but is useful for improving liver function in patients with lamivudine-resistant HBV-related cirrhosis,allowing HCC surgery. | Takashi Akima Masaya Tamano Hidetsugu Yamagishi Keiichi Kubota Takahiro Fujimori Hideyuki Hiraishi | 2010 | World Journal of Hepatology2010,2,8: | 11 |
