| 1 | Phloem-Mobile AuxlIAA Transcripts Target to the Root Tip and Modify Root Architecture显示文摘In plants,the phloem is the component of the vascular system that delivers nutrients and transmits signals from mature leaves to developing sink tissues.Recent studies have identified proteins,mRNA,and small RNA within the phloem sap of several plant species.It is now of considerable interest to elucidate the biological functions of these potential long-distance signal agents,to further our understanding of how plants coordinate their developmental programs at the whole-plant level.In this study,we developed a strategy for the functional analysis of phloem-mobile mRNA by focusing on IAA transcripts,whose mobility has previously been reported in melon (Cucumis melo cv.Hale's Best Jumbo).Indoleacetic acid (IAA) proteins are key transcriptional regulators of auxin signaling,and are involved in a broad range of developmental processes including root development.We used a combination of vasculature-enriched sampling and hetero-grafting techniques to identify IAA18 and IAA28 as phloem-mobile transcripts in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.Micro-grafting experiments were used to confirm that these IAA transcripts,which are generated in vascular tissues of mature leaves,are then transported into the root system where they negatively regulate lateral root formation.Based on these findings,we present a model in which auxin distribution,in combination with phloem-mobile Aux/IAA transcripts,can determine the sites of auxin action. | Michitaka Notaguchi Shmuel Wolf William J.Lucas | 2012 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2012,54,10: | 13 |
| 2 | Clinical utility of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of postoperative complications after radical gastrectomy for clinical T2-4 gastric cancer显示文摘AIM To identify simple and sensitive markers for postoperative complications after gastrectomy, the predictive values were compared among candidate preoperative factors. METHODS Three-hundred and twelve patients with previously untreated clinical T2-4 gastric cancer who underwent a D2 standard gastrectomy(distal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy) were included in the analysis.Correlations between 21 parameters that can be determined by preoperative routine blood tests and clinically relevant postoperative complications(grade Ⅱ or higher according to the Clavien-Dindo classification) were evaluated. The optimal cutoff values and clinical significance of the selected markers were further evaluated by subgroup analyses according to age, body mass index, operative procedure and clinical disease stage.RESULTS Sixty-six patients(21.1%) experienced grade Ⅱ or higher postoperative complications. The plateletlymphocyte ratio(PLR, total lymphocyte count/platelet count × 100) exhibited the highest area under the curve value(0.639) for predicting postoperative complications among the 21 parameters, and the optimal cutoff value was determined to be 0.71(sensitivity = 70%, specificity = 56%). In the univariate analysis, the odds ratio of a low PLR for the occurrence of postoperative complications was 2.94(95%CI: 1.66-5.35, P < 0.001), and a multivariate binomial logistic analysis involving other potential risk factors identified a low PLR as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications(OR = 3.32, 95%CI: 1.82-6.25, P < 0.001). In subgroups classified according to age, body mass index, operative procedure and clinical disease stage, the low PLR group exhibited an increased incidence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION The preoperative PLR is a simple and useful predictor of complications after curative gastrectomy in patients with clinical T2-4 gastric cancer. | Kenichi Inaoka Mitsuro Kanda Hiroaki Uda Yuri Tanaka Chie Tanaka Daisuke Kobayashi Hideki Takami Naoki Iwata Masamichi Hayashi Yukiko Niwa Suguru Yamada Tsutomu Fujii Hiroyuki Sugimoto Kenta Murotani Michitaka Fujiwara Yasuhiro Kodera | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,14: | 13 |
| 3 | Differential diagnosis of benign and malignant branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm using contrastenhanced endoscopic ultrasonography显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the role of contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography(CE-EUS) in the diagnosis of branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(BD-IPMN).METHODS: A total of 50 patients diagnosed with BDIPMN by computed tomography(CT) and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) at our institute were included in this study. CE-EUS was performed when mural lesions were detected by EUS. The diagnostic accuracy for identifying mural nodules(MNs) was evaluated by CT, EUS, and EUS combined with CE-EUS. In the patients who underwent resection, the accuracy of measuring MN height with each imaging modality was compared. The cut-off values to diagnose malignant BD-IPMNs based on MN height for each imaging modality were determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.RESULTS: Fifteen patients were diagnosed with BD-IPMN with MNs and underwent resection. The remaining 35 patients were diagnosed with BD-IPMN without MNs and underwent follow-up monitoring. The pathological findings revealed 14 cases with MNs and one case without. The accuracy for diagnosing MNs was 92% using CT and 72% using EUS; the diagnostic accuracy increased to 98% when EUS and CE-EUS were combined. The accuracy for measuring MN height significantly improved when using CE-EUS compared with using CT or EUS(median measurement error value, CT: 3.3 mm vs CE-EUS: 0.6 mm, P < 0.05; EUS: 2.1 mm vs CE-EUS: 0.6 mm, P < 0.01). A cut-off value of 8.8 mm for MN height as measured by CE-EUS improved the accuracy of diagnosing malignant BDIPMN to 93%. CONCLUSION: Using CE-EUS to measure MN height provides a highly accurate method for differentiating benign from malignant BD-IPMN. | Hirofumi Harima Seiji Kaino Shuhei Shinoda Michitaka Kawano Shigeyuki Suenaga Isao Sakaida | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,20: | 12 |

| 7 | Improved survival for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis treated by intra-arterial chemotherapy combining etoposide,carboplatin,epirubicin and pharmacokinetic modulating chemotherapy by 5-FU and enteric-coated tegafur/uracil:A pilo显示文摘AIM: To investigate the poor prognosis of HCC with PVTT,we evaluated the efficacy by a new combination chemotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT). METHODS: From 2002 to 2007,a total of 10 consecutive patients with Stage IVA HCC accompanied by PVTT were studied prospectively to examine the efficacy of treatment by intra-arterial infusion of a chemotherapeutic agents consisting of etoposide,carboplatin,epirubicin and pharmacokinetic modulating chemotherapy by 5-FU and enteric-coated tegafur/uracil. RESULTS: The mean course of chemotherapy was 14.4 (range,9-21) mo. One patient showed complete response (CR) with disappearance of HCC and PVTT after treatment,and the two patients showed partial response (PR),response rate (CR + PR/All cases 30%). The median survival time after the therapy was 457.2 d. The one-year survival rate was 70%. Adverse reactions were tolerable. CONCLUSION: Although the prognosis of most patients with Stage IVA HCC by PVTT is poor,our combination chemotherapy may induces long-term survival and is an effective treatment and produced anti-tumor activity with tolerable adverse effects in patients for advanced Stage IVA HCC accompanied by PVTT. | Toru Ishikawa Michitaka Imai Hiroteru Kamimura Atsunori Tsuchiya Tadayuki Togashi Kouji Watanabe Kei-ichi Seki Hironobu Ohta Toshiaki Yoshida Tomoteru Kamimura | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,41: | 8 |
| 8 | Prognostic significance of perioperative tumor marker levels in stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic significance of perioperative carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9) levels in stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer.METHODS From a multi-institutional retrospective database compiled by integrating clinical data from nine institutions, data of 998 patients who underwent curative resection for stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ gastric cancer between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved and analyzed. The prognostic impact of the preoperative and postoperative levels and chronological changes in CEA, CA19-9 and their combination were evaluated. To test whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy alters the prognostic impact of perioperative CEA and CA19-9 levels, the hazard ratios for mortality were compared between patients who underwent surgery alone and patients who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.RESULTS The prognostic impact of postoperative CEA and CA19-9 was superior to that of the preoperative levels. Multivariable analysis identified high postoperative CEA and CA19-9 levels as independent prognostic factors for overall survival.Disease-free survival rates clearly decreased in a stepwise manner in association with postoperative CEA and CA19-9 levels, and patients with high levels of both markers showed significantly poorer prognosis than other patient groups. When we analyzed perioperative changes in serum CEA and CA19-9 levels, patients with high levels before and after surgery had the worst disease-free survival rates among all patient groups. Patients with normalized CEA levels after surgery had a significantly lower disease-free survival rate than those with normal perioperative levels, whereas patients with normalized CA19-9 levels after surgery had equivalent survival to those with normal perioperative levels. The prognostic impact of high CEA levels was observably smaller in patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy than in patients who underwent surgery alone, whereas that of high CA19-9 was greater in patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. High postoperative CEA levels were significantly associated with an increased prevalence of liver, lung and bone recurrences, and high postoperative CA19-9 levels were significantly associated with increased frequencies of lymph node and liver recurrences.CONCLUSION The evaluation of serum CEA and CA 19-9 levels both before and after surgery provides useful information for precise risk stratification after curative gastrectomy. | Yasuhito Suenaga Mitsuro Kanda Seiji Ito Yoshinari Mochizuki Hitoshi Teramoto Kiyoshi Ishigure Toshifumi Murai Takahiro Asada Akiharu Ishiyama Hidenobu Matsushita Chie Tanaka Daisuke Kobayashi Michitaka Fujiwara Kenta Murotani Yasuhiro Kodera | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,1: | 7 |
| 9 | Successful treatment of multiple lung metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma by combined chemotherapy with docetaxel, cisplatin and tegafur/uracil显示文摘We report the successful treatment of multiple lung metastases after hepatic resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with combined docetaxel, cisplatin (CDDP), and enteric-coated tegafur/uracil (UFT-E). A 68-year-old man was diagnosed with multiple lung metastases of HCC 7 mo after partial hepatectomy for HCC. Oral UFT-E was given daily and docetaxel and CDDP were given intra-arterially (administered just before the bronchial arteries) every 2 wk via a subcutaneous injection port. One month after starting chemotherapy, levels of tumor marker, protein induced by vitamin K absence(PIVKA--), decreased rapidly,and after a further month, chest X-ray and computed tomography revealed the complete disappearance of multiple liver metastases. Two years after the combined chemotherapy, HCC recurred in the liver and was treated but no pulmonary recurrence occurred. In the absence of a standardized highly effective therapy, this combined chemotherapy with docetaxel, CDDP and UFT-E may be an attractive option for multiple lung metastases of HCC. | Atsunori Tsuchiya Michitaka Imai Hiroteru Kamimura Tadayuki Togashi Kouji Watanabe Kei-ichi Seki Toru Ishikawa Hironobu Ohta Toshiaki Yoshida Tomoteru Kamimura | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,14: | 7 |

| 11 | Recurrence of autoimmune hepatitis after liver transplantation without elevation of alanine aminotransferase显示文摘It is controversial whether steroid therapy should be continued to prevent the recurrence of autoimmune hepatitis(AIH)in patients who have undergone liver transplantation(LTx)due to AIH.We report a case of recurrent autoimmune hepatitis after LTx despite a persistently normal range of alanine aminotransferase(ALT).A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of jaundice and severe liver dysfunction,where she was diagnosed with liver failure due to AIH.Steroid therapy was not effective enough and the patient received living-donor LTx in 1999.Following the operation,the level of ALT was maintained within a normal range and anti-nuclear antibody(ANA)became negative,however,the serum level of IgG gradually elevated and ANA became positive,while platelets decreased.A liver biopsy performed 6 years after LTx showed histological findings of AIH and she was diagnosed with recurrent AIH.A recurrence of AIH may occur after LTx even if the level of ALT remains within a normal range.We consider that a protocol liver biopsy should be performed in patients who undergo LTx due to AIH to decide the indication for steroid therapy. | Huaiqi Yao Kojiro Michitaka Yoshio Tokumoto Yosuke Murata Toshie Mashiba Masanori Abe Yoichi Hiasa Norio Horiike Morikazu Onji | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,10: | 3 |
