Postoperative adhesions (PA) remain an untreatable complication of abdominal surgery. In this study, we analyzed the role of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the formation of PA using human cells in vitro and cynomolgus monkeys in vivo, as rodents l…
BackgroundSarcopenia is a prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism underlying sarcopenia development in these patients remains unclear. The chemokine interferon-gamma-induced protein 10/C-X-C…
A 47-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with recurring lower abdominal pain persisting for more than 2 weeks. Imaging modalities showed small bowel obstruction caused by a mass lesion in the terminal ileum. Despite undergoing fasti…
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL) is an intractable disease leading to severe neurological deficits. Its etiology and pathogenesis are primarily unknown. The relationship between OPLL and comorbidities,…
BACKGROUND: Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a type of spontaneous pneumothorax due to thoracic endometriosis occurring in reproductive women, and usually involves the right side of the thorax showing diaphragm lesions. For the present study…
We evaluated the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of adalimumab in Japanese patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had an inadequate response to, or who were intolerant of, treatment with ≥1 nonsteroidal anti-inflammator…
Both pro- and antimitogenic activities have been ascribed to progesterone receptor (PR) agonists and antagonists in breast cancer cells; however, the transcriptional responses that underlie these paradoxical functions are not apparent. Usin…
A case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma supposedly arising from endometriosis of the rectum is reported. Malignant transformation is uncommon but a well-known complication of endometriosis. In the present case, it was proved by histopathologi…
Vasculitis (angiitis) is a systemic autoimmune disease that often causes fatal symptoms. We aimed to isolate cDNA markers that would be useful for diagnosing not only vasculitis but also other autoimmune diseases. For this purpose, we used …
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether multiphase-multisection T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images help exclude pseudolesions mimicking leiomyoma and adenomyosis on static T2-weighted fast spin-echo (FSE) MR images and to characterize temporal…
In 49 patients who had pelvic abnormalities, breath-hold T2-weighted fast-recovery (FR)-fast spin-echo (FSE) (imaging time = 24 sec) and nonbreath-hold FSE MR images (2 min 8 sec) were compared qualitatively (on a four-point scale) and quan…
A 47-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of an abnormal shadow in the left hilar region. A CT scan showed a non-enhancing mass between the lingula and left basal bronchus. On the twelfth hospital day, when her menstru…
The clinical, histological and immunohistochemical features of three cases of ovarian mixed mesodermal tumor (MMT) were examined. The epithelial component was serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma in case 1 and 3, and endometrioid adenocarcin…
Twenty cases (13 from Jichi Medical School Hospital and 7 from other hospitals) of uterine adenomatoid tumor (ADT) were examined histochemically, immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally, to determine the histogenesis. For the control st…
