1Biomarkers for the early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the fifth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although the prognosis of patients with HCC is generally poor, the5-year survival rate is > 70% if patients are diagnosed at an early stage. However, early diagnosis of HCC is complicated by the coexistence of inflammation and cirrhosis. Thus, novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of HCC are required. Currently, the diagnosis of HCC without pathological correlation is achieved by analyzing serum α.fetoprotein levels combined with imaging techniques. Advances in genomics and proteomics platforms and biomarker assay techniques over the last decade have resulted in the identification of numerous novel biomarkers and have improved the diagnosis of HCC. The most promising biomarkers,such as glypican-3, osteopontin, Golgi protein-73 and nucleic acids including microRNAs, are most likely to become clinically validated in the near future. These biomarkers are not only useful for early diagnosis of HCC, but also provide insight into the mechanisms driving oncogenesis. In addition, such molecular insight creates the basis for the development of potentially more effective treatment strategies. In this article,we provide an overview of the biomarkers that are currently used for the early diagnosis of HCC.Nobuhiro Tsuchiya Yu Sawada Itaru Endo Keigo Saito Yasushi Uemura Tetsuya Nakatsura 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,37:72

3Potentiality of immunotherapy against hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),the predominant form of primary liver cancer,is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Despite the high incidence,treatment options remain limited for advanced HCC,and as a result prognosis continues to be poor. Current therapeutic options,surgery,chemotherapy and radiotherapy,have only modest efficacy. New treatment modalities to prolong survival and to minimize the risk of adverse response are desperately needed for patients with advanced HCC. Tumor immunotherapy is a promising,novel treatment strategy that may lead to improvements in both treatment-associated toxicity and outcome. The strategies have developed in part through genomic studies that have yielded candidate target molecules and in part through basic biology studies that have defined the pathways and cell types regulating immune response. Here,we summarize the various types of HCC immunotherapy and argue that the newfound field of HCC immunotherapy might provide critical advantages in the effort to improve prognosis of patients with advanced HCC. Already several immunotherapies,such as tumor-associated antigen therapy,immune checkpoint inhibitors and cell transfer immunotherapy,have demonstrated safety and feasibility in HCC patients. Unfortunately,immunotherapy currently has low efficacy in advanced stage HCC patients; overcoming this chal lenge will place immunotherapy at the forefront of HCC treatment,possibly in the near future.Nobuhiro Tsuchiya Yu Sawada Itaru Endo Yasushi Uemura Tetsuya Nakatsura 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,36:19
4Usefulness 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 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,48:16
5Utility of linked color imaging for endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND Linked color imaging(LCI) is a method of endoscopic imaging that emphasizes slight differences in red mucosal color.AIM To evaluate LCI in diagnostic endoscopy of early gastric cancer and to compare LCI and pathological findings.METHODS Endoscopic images were obtained for 39 patients(43 lesions) with early gastric cancer. Three endoscopists evaluated lesion recognition with white light imaging(WLI) and LCI. Color values in Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)1976 L*a*b* color space were used to calculate the color difference(ΔE) between cancer lesions and non-cancer areas. After endoscopic submucosal dissection,blood vessel density in the surface layer of the gastric epithelium was evaluated pathologically. The identical region of interest was selected for analyses of endoscopic images(WLI and LCI) and pathological analyses.RESULTS LCI was superior for lesion recognition(P < 0.0001), and ΔE between cancer and non-cancer areas was significantly greater with LCI than WLI(29.4 vs 18.6, P <0.0001). Blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions(5.96% vs4.15%, P = 0.0004). An a* cut-off of ≥ 24 in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space identified a cancer lesion using LCI with sensitivity of 76.7%, specificity of 93.0%, and accuracy of 84.9%.CONCLUSION LCI is more effective for recognition of early gastric cancer compared to WLI as a result of improved visualization of changes in redness. Surface blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions, and this result is consistent with LCI image analysis.Toshihisa Fujiyoshi Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Kazuhiro Furukawa Tsunaki Sawada Keiko Maeda Takeshi Yamamura Takuya Ishikawa Eizaburo Ohno Masanao Nakamura Hiroki Kawashima Masato Nakaguro Masahiro Nakatochi Yoshiki Hirooka 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,10:12
6Treating inflammatory bowel disease by adsorptive leucocytapheresis:A desire to treat without drugs显示文摘Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the major phenotypes of the idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),which afflicts millions of individuals throughout the world with debilitating symptoms,impairing function and quality of life.Current medications are aimed at reducing the symptoms or suppressing exacerbations.However,patients require life-long medications,and this can lead to drug dependency,loss of response together with adverse side effects.Indeed,drug side effects become additional morbidity factor in many patients on long-term medications.Nonetheless,the efficacy of anti-tumour necrosis factors(TNF)-αbiologics has validated the role of inflammatory cytokines notably TNF-αin the exacerbation of IBD.However,inflammatory cytokines are released by patients’own cellular elements including myeloid lineage leucocytes,which in patients with IBD are elevated with activation behaviour and prolonged survival.Accordingly,these leucocytes appear logical targets of therapy and can be depleted by adsorptive granulocyte/monocyte apheresis(GMA)with an Adacolumn.Based on this background,recently GMA has been applied to treat patients with IBD in Japan and in the European Union countries.Efficacy rates have been impressive as well as disappointing.In fact the clinical response to GMA seems to define the patients’disease course,response to medications,duration of active disease,and severity at entry.The best responders have been first episode cases(up to 100%)followed by steroid nave and patients with a short duration of active disease prior to GMA.Patients with deep ulcers together with extensive loss of the mucosal tissue and cases with a long duration of IBD refractory to existing medications are not likely to benefit from GMA.It is clinically interesting that patients who respond to GMA have a good long-term disease course by avoiding drugs including corticosteroids in the early stage of their IBD.Additionally,GMA is very much favoured by patients for its good safety profile.GMA in 21st century reminds us of phlebotomy as a major medical practice at the time of Hippocrates.However,in patients with IBD,there is a scope for removing from the body the sources of proinflammatory cytokines and achieve disease remission.The bottom line is that by introducing GMA at an early stage following the onset of IBD or before patients develop extensive mucosal damage and become refractory to medications,many patients should respond to GMA and avoid pharmacologics.This should fulfill the desire to treat without drugs.Abbi R Saniabadi Tomotaka Tanaka Toshihide Ohmori Koji Sawada Takayuki Yamamoto Hiroyuki Hanai 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,29:11
7Erythropoietin ameliorates early ischemia-reperfusion injury following the Pringle maneuver显示文摘AIM:To investigate the protective effect of erythropoietin (Epo) against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IR/I) following the Pringle maneuver (PM),in comparison with conventional steroid administration in a prospective randomized trial. METHODS:Patients were randomized by age, sex, diagnosis, and surgical method, and assigned to three groups:(1) A steroid group (STRD, n= 9) who received 100 mg of hydrocortisone before PM, and on postoperative days 1, 2 and 3, followed by tapering until postoperative day 7; (2) An EPO1 group (n=10) who received 30 000 U of Epo before the PM and at the end of surgery; and (3) An EPO2 group (n=8) who received 60 000 U of Epo before the PM. Hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lactate, interleukin-6 (IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were measured before and just after (Day 0) surgery, and on postoperative days 1, 3, 7 and 14. RESULTS: There were no increases in Hb and Ht in the EPO1 and EPO2 groups. AST was signif icantly lower in EPO1 than in STRD on Day 0 (P=0.041), and lower in EPO1 than in STRD and EPO2 on Day 1 (P=0.018). ALT was signif icantly lower in EPO1 than in STRD and EPO2 on Day 0 (P=0.020) and Day 1 (P=0.004). There were no signif icant inter-group differences in the levels of LDH and lactate. IL-6 was signif icantly lower in EPO1 than in STRD and EPO2 on Day 0 (P=0.0036) and Day 1 (P=0.0451). TNF-α was signif icantly lower in EPO1 than in STRD and EPO2 on Day 0 (P=0.0006) and Day 1 (P<0.0001). Furthermore, hospitalization was signif icantly shorter in EPO1 and EPO2 than in STRD.CONCLUSION:Epo has greater potential than steroids to ameliorate IR/I after the PM. Epo at a dose of 30000 U, administered before PM and just after surgery, yields better results.Masato Kato Tokihiko Sawada Junji Kita Mitsugi Shimoda Keiichi Kubota 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,38:11
8New anti-proliferative agent,MK615,from Japanese apricot “Prunus mume” induces striking autophagy in colon cancer cells in vitro显示文摘AIM: To investigate the anti-neoplastic effects of MK615, an extract from the Japanese apricot (Prunus mume), against colon cancer cells. METHODS: Three colon cancer cell lines, SW480, COLO, and WiDr, were cultured with MK615. Growth inhibition was evaluated by cell proliferation assay and killing activity was determined by lactate dehydrogenase assay. Induction of apoptosis was evaluated by annexin Ⅴ flow cytometry. Morphological changes were studied by light and electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence staining with Atg8. RESULTS: MK615 inhibited growth and lysed SW480, COLO and WiDr cells in a dose-dependent manner. Annexin Ⅴ flow cytometry showed that MK615 induced apoptosis after 6 h incubation, at which point the occurrence of apoptotic cells was 68.0%, 65.7% and 64.7% for SW480, COLO, and WiDr cells, respectively. Light and electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence staining with Atg8 revealed that MK615 induced massive cytoplasmic vacuoles (autophagosomes) in all three cell lines. CONCLUSION: MK615 has an anti-neoplastic effect against colon cancer cells. The effect may be exerted by induction of apoptosis and autophagy.Shozo Mori Tokihiko Sawada Toshie Okada Tatsushi Ohsawa Masakazu Adachi Kubota Keiichi 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,48:9
9Clinicopathological features of early gastric cancers arising in Helicobacter pylori uninfected patients显示文摘BACKGROUND Persistent Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection causes chronic inflammation,atrophy of the gastric mucosa,and a high risk of developing gastric cancer.In recent years,awareness of eradication therapy has increased in Japan.As H.pylori infections decrease,the proportion of gastric cancers arising from H.pylori uninfected gastric mucosa will increase.The emergence of gastric cancer arising in H.pylori uninfected patients though rarely reported,is a concern to be addressed and needs elucidation of its clinicopathological features.AIM To evaluate the clinicopathological features of early gastric cancer in H.pyloriuninfected patients.METHODS A total of 2462 patients with 3375 instances of early gastric cancers that were treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection were enrolled in our study between May 2000 and September 2019.Of these,30 lesions in 30 patients were diagnosed as H.pylori-uninfected gastric cancer(Hp UIGC).We defined a patient as H.pylori-uninfected using the following three criteria:(1)The patient did not receive treatment for H.pylori,which was determined by investigating medical recordsand conducting patient interviews;(2)Lack of endoscopic atrophy;and(3)The patient was negative for H.pylori after being tested at least twice using various diagnostic methods,including serum anti-H.pylori-Ig G antibody,urease breath test,rapid urease test,and microscopic examination.RESULTS The frequency of Hp UIGC was 1.2%(30/2462)for the patients in our study.The study included 19 males and 11 females with a mean age of 59 years.The location of the stomach lesions was divided into three sections;upper third(U),middle third(M),lower third(L).Of the 30 lesions,15 were U,1 was M,and 14 were L.Morphologically,17 lesions were protruded and flat elevated type(0-I,0-IIa,0-IIa+IIc),and 13 lesions were flat and depressed type(0-IIb,0-IIc).The median tumor diameter was 8 mm(range 2-98 mm).Histological analysis revealed that22 lesions(73.3%)were differentiated type.The Hp UIGC lesions were classified into fundic gland type adenocarcinoma(7 cases),foveolar type welldifferentiated adenocarcinoma(8 cases),intestinal phenotype adenocarcinoma(7 cases),and pure signet-ring cell carcinoma(8 cases).Among 30 Hp UIGCs,24 lesions(80%)were limited to the mucosa;wherein,the remaining 6 lesions showed submucosal invasion.One of the submucosal invasive lesions showed more than 500μm invasion.The mucin phenotype analysis identified 7 Hp UIGC with intestinal phenotype and 23 with gastric phenotype.CONCLUSION We elucidated the clinicopathological characteristics of Hp UIGC,revealing recognition not only undifferentiated-type but also differentiated-type.In addition,intestinal phenotype tumors were also observed and could be an important tip.Chiko Sato Kingo Hirasawa Yoko Tateishi Yuichiro Ozeki Atsushi Sawada Ryosuke Ikeda Takehide Fukuchi Masafumi Nishio Ryosuke Kobayashi Makomo Makazu Hiroaki Kaneko Yoshiaki Inayama Shin Maeda 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,20:7
10Ectopic hepatocellular carcinoma arising from pancreas: A case report and review of the literature显示文摘A 56-year-old man was found to have a pancreatic tail tumor. His blood chemistry showed no infection with hepatitis B or C virus and no elevations of tumor markers or pancreatic hormones. Abdominal ultrasound showed an encapsulated, rather heterogeneous, hypoechoic tumor, 6.5 cm in maximum diameter, with a beak sign. Helical dynamic CT revealed an irregularly enhanced tumor with pooling of contrast medium in the delayed phase. Abdominal angiography showed a hypervascular tumor. With a tentative diagnosis of non-functional islet-cell tumor, the patient underwent resection of the pancreatic body and tail with splenectomy. The contour of the liver and its surface were normal. In microscopic examination, tumor cells arranged in a trabecular pattern with focal bile pigment resembling hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Immunohistochemically, these tumor cells were positivefor HEPPAR-1, CAM5.2, cytokeratin 18 and COX-2, but negative for MUC-1, and cytokeratins 7, 20 and 8. These results supported a diagnosis of HCC without any adenocarcinoma component. The patient is currently doing well without any signs of recurrence in either the remaining pancreas or liver three years after surgery. We report the rare case with ectopic HCC in the pancreas with a review of the literature.Keiichi Kubota Junji Kita Kyu Rokkaku Yoshimi Iwasaki Tokihiko Sawada Johji Imura Takahiro Fujimori 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,31:7
11Identification of advanced spin-driven thermoelectric materials via interpretable machine learning显示文摘Machine learning is becoming a valuable tool for scientific discovery.Particularly attractive is the application of machine learning methods to the field of materials development,which enables innovations by discovering new and better functional materials.To apply machine learning to actual materials development,close collaboration between scientists and machine learning tools is necessary.However,such collaboration has been so far impeded by the black box nature of many machine learning algorithms.It is often difficult for scientists to interpret the data-driven models from the viewpoint of material science and physics.Here,we demonstrate the development of spin-driven thermoelectric materials with anomalous Nernst effect by using an interpretable machine learning method called factorized asymptotic Bayesian inference hierarchical mixture of experts(FAB/HMEs).Based on prior knowledge of material science and physics,we were able to extract from the interpretable machine learning some surprising correlations and new knowledge about spin-driven thermoelectric materials.Guided by this,we carried out an actual material synthesis that led to the identification of a novel spin-driven thermoelectric material.This material shows the largest thermopower to date.Yuma Iwasaki Ryohto Sawada Valentin Stanev Masahiko Ishida Akihiro Kirihara Yasutomo Omori Hiroko Someya Ichiro Takeuchi Eiji Saitoh Shinichi Yorozu 2019npj Computational Materials2019,,1:7

13MK615 inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth by dual inhibition of Aurora A and B kinases显示文摘AIM:To investigate the anti-neoplastic effect of MK615, an anti-neoplastic compound isolated from Japanese apricot, against human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. METHODS: Three human pancreatic cancer cell lines PANC-1, PK-1, and PK45H were cultured with MK615 at concentrations of 600, 300, 150, and 0 μg/mL. Growth inhibition was evaluated by cell proliferation assay, and killing activity was determined by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. Expression of Aurora A and B kinases was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting. Cell cycle stages were evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The growth inhibitory rates of MK615 at 150, 300, and 600 μg/mL were 2.3% ± 0.9%, 8.9% ± 3.2% and 67.1% ± 8.1% on PANC1 cells, 1.3% ± 0.3%, 8.7% ± 4.1% and 45.7 ± 7.6% on PK1 cells, and 1.2 ± 0.8%, 9.1% ± 2.1% and 52.1% ± 5.5% on PK45H cells, respectively (P <0.05). The percentage cytotoxicities of MK615 at 0, 150, 300, and 600 μg/mL were 19.6% ± 1.3%, 26.7% ± 1.8%, 25.5% ± 0.9% and 26.4% ± 0.9% in PANC1 cells, 19.7% ± 1.3%, 24.7% ± 0.8%, 25.9% ± 0.9% and 29.9% ± 1.1% in PK1 cells, and 28.0% ± 0.9%, 31.2% ± 0.9%, 30.4% ± 1.1% and 35.3 ± 1.0% in PK45H cells, respectively (P < 0.05). Real-time PCR and Western blotting showed that MK615 dually inhibited the expression of Aurora A and B kinases. Cell cycle analysis revealed that MK615 increased the population of cells in G2/M phase. CONCLUSION: MK615 exerts an anti-neoplastic effect on human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro by dual inhibition of Aurora A and B kinases.Toshie Okada Tokihiko Sawada Tatsushi Osawa Masakazu Adachi Keiichi Kubota 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,9:6
14MK615 decreases RAGE expression and inhibits TAGE-induced proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells显示文摘AIM:To investigate the proliferative effect of advanced glycation end-products(AGEs) and the role of their cellular receptor(RAGE) on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cells,and the inhibitory effects of MK615,an extract from Japanese apricot,against AGEs were also evaluated.METHODS:Two HCC cell lines,HuH7 and HepG2,were used.Expression of RAGE was investigated by poly-merase chain reaction,Western blotting,and flow cytemetry(FACS).The effect of MK615 on RAGE expression was also evaluated by FACS.The proliferative effects of a control(unglycated bovine serum albumin),glucosederived AGEs(Glc-AGE),and glyceraldehyde-derived AGEs(Glycer-AGE),and the anti-proliferative effect of MK615 against AGEs,were evaluated using MTT assays.RESULTS:Expression of RAGE was confirmed at both the mRNA and protein levels in both HuH7 and HepG2.FACS revealed that the level of RAGE expression was higher in HuH7 than in HepG2.Treatment with 0.1 μg/mL MK615 decreased the expression level of RAGE from 24.3% to 3.7% in HuH7 and from 6.2% to 4.8% in HepG2.The growth indices for the control,Glc-AGE,and Glycer-AGE were 1.06 ± 0.08,0.99 ± 0.04,and 1.38 ± 0.05,respectively,in HuH7(P = 0.037),and were 1.03 ± 0.04,1.04 ± 0.03,and 1.07 ± 0.05,respectively,in HepG2(P > 0.05).When the cells were cultured simultaneously with Glycer-AGE and MK615,MK615 abrogated the proliferative effect of Glycer-AGE in HuH7.CONCLUSION:Only Glycer-AGE has a proliferative effect on HuH7,which expresses a higher level of RAGE.MK615 suppresses the proliferative effect of GlycerAGE on HuH7 by decreasing the expression of RAGE.Yuhki Sakuraoka Tokihiko Sawada Toshie Okada Takayuki Shiraki Yoshikazu Miura Katsuya Hiraishi Tatsushi Ohsawa Masakazu Adachi Jun-ichi Takino Masayoshi Takeuchi Keiichi Kubota 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,42:6
15Histopathological validation of magnifying endoscopy for diagnosis of mixed-histological-type early gastric cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND The undifferentiated-type(UDT)component profoundly affects the clinical course of early gastric cancers(EGCs).However,an accurate preoperative diagnosis of the histological types is unsatisfactory.To date,few studies have investigated whether the UDT component within mixed-histological-type(MT)EGCs can be recognized preoperatively.AIM To clarify the histopathological characteristics of the endoscopically-resected MT EGCs for investigating whether the UDT component could be recognized preoperatively.METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study.First,we attempted to clarify the histopathological characteristics of the endoscopically-resected MT EGCs with emphasis on the UDT component.Histopathological examination investigated each lesion’s UDT component:(1)Whole mucosal layer occupation of the UDT component;(2)UDT component exposure to the surface of the mucosa;and(3)existence of a clear border between the differentiated-type and UDT components.Then,preoperative endoscopic images with magnifying endoscopy with narrowband imaging(ME-NBI)were examined to identify whether the endoscopic UDT component finding was recognizable within the area where it was present in the histopathological examination.The preoperative biopsy results and comparative relationships between endoscopic and histopathological findings were also examined.RESULTS In the histopathological examination,the whole mucosal layer occupation of the UDT component and exposure of the UDT component to the mucosal surface were observed in 67.3%(33/49)and 79.6%(39/49)of samples,respectively.A clear distinction of the border between the differentiated-type and UDT components could not be drawn in 65.3%(32/49)of MT lesions.In the endoscopic examination,the preoperative endoscopic images showed that only 24.5%(12/49)of MT EGCs revealed the UDT component within the area where it was present histopathologically.Histopathological UDT predominance was the single significant factor associated with the presence of the endoscopic UDT component finding(61.5%vs 11.1%,P=0.0009).Only 26.5%(13/49)of the lesions were diagnosed from the pretreatment biopsy as having a UDT component.Combined results of the pretreatment biopsy and ME-NBI showed the preoperative presence of the UDT component in 40.8%(20/49)of MT EGCs.CONCLUSION Recognition of a UDT component within MT EGCs is difficult even when pretreatment biopsy and ME-NBI are combined.Endoscopic resection plays a significant role in both treatment and diagnosis.Yuichiro Ozeki Kingo Hirasawa Ryosuke Kobayashi Chiko Sato Yoko Tateishi Atsushi Sawada Ryosuke Ikeda Masafumi Nishio Takehide Fukuchi Makomo Makazu Masataka Taguri Shin Maeda 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,36:5
16Ethnic difference of Helicobacter pylori gastritis: Korean and Japanese gastritis is characterized by male- and antrum-predominant acute foveolitis in comparison with American gastritis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the clinicopathological factors underlying the ethnic differences of Helicobacter pylori gastritis and cancer.METHODS: We analyzed clinicopathological parameters of gastric biopsies having H pylori infection that were randomly selected from different ethnic populations including 147 Americans, 149 Japanese, and 181 Koreans.RESULTS: Males were predominant in Japanese and Korean populations (77.9 and 67.4% respectively) in comparison with Americans (48.3%) (P<0.001). H pylori gastritis in Koreans and Japanese was characterized by the predominant antral involvement. In the antrum,neutrophilic infiltration into the proliferative zone of pit, i,e.acute foveolitis, was more frequent in Koreans (82%) than in Japanese (71%) (P<0.05) and Americans (61%) (P<0.001).Interstitial neutrophilic infiltration, intestinal metaplasia and atrophy were also frequent in Koreans and Japanese. In the body, the prevalence of acute foveolitis was not significantly different among the populations while chronic interstitial inflammation and lymphoid follicles were more pronounced in the body of Americans than in the body of others (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: The male-, and antrum-predominant Hpylori gastritis in Koreans and Japanese is compatible with the pattern of sex and topographical distribution of gastric cancer incidence. Our data suggest that persistent acute foveolitis at the proliferative zone is a crucial step in the gastric carcinogenesis.Inchul Lee Hojung Lee Mijung Kim Manabu Fukumoto Shinji Sawada Shriram Jakate Victor E.Gould 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,1:5
17Secular change in lifetime of granitic crust and the continental growth: A new view from detrital zircon ages of sandstones显示文摘U-Pb ages of detrital zircons were newly dated for 4 Archean sandstones from the Pilbara craton in Australia, Wyoming craton in North America, and Kaapvaal craton in Africa. By using the present results with previously published data, we compiled the age spectra of detrital zircons for 2.9, 2.6, 2.3,1.0, and0.6 Ga sandstones and modern river sands in order to document the secular change in age structure of continental crusts through time. The results demonstrated the following episodes in the history of continental crust:(1) low growth rate of the continents due to the short cycle in production/destruction of granitic crust during the Neoarchean to Paleoproterozoic(2.9-23 Ga),(2) net increase in volume of the continents during Paleo-to Mesoproterozoic(2.3-1.0 Ga), and(3) net decrease in volume of the continents during the Neoproterozoic and Phanerozoic(after 1.0 Ga). In the Archean and Paleoproterozoic, the embryonic continents were smaller than the modern continents, probably owing to the relatively rapid production and destruction of continental crust. This is indeed reflected in the heterogeneous crustal age structure of modern continents that usually have relatively small amount of Archean crusts with respect to the post-Archean ones. During the Mesoproterozoic, plural continents amalgamated into larger ones comparable to modern continental blocks in size. Relatively older crusts were preserved in continental interiors, whereas younger crusts were accreted along continental peripheries.In addition to continental arc magmatism, the direct accretion of intra-oceanic island arc around continental peripheries also became important for net continental growth. Since 1.0 Ga, total volume of continents has decreased, and this appears consistent with on-going phenomena along modern active arc-trench system with dominant tectonic erosion and/or arc subduction. Subduction of a huge amount of granitic crusts into the mantle through time is suggested, and this requires re-consideration of the mantle composition and heterogeneity.Hikaru Sawada Yukio Isozaki Shuhei Sakata Takafumi Hirata Shigenori Maruyama 2018Geoscience Frontiers2018,9,4:4
18Synthesis and BK channel-opening activity of novel N-acylhydrazone derivatives from dehydroabietic acid显示文摘A series of hydrazone and N-acylhydrazone derivatives of dehydroabietic acid were synthesized and evaluated for BK channel-opening activities in an assay system of CHO-K1 cells expressing hBKa channels.The assay results indicated that the activities of the investigated compounds were influenced by the physicochemical properties of the substituent at hydrazone moiety.Xia-Shi Lv Yong-Mei Cui He-Yun Wang Hai-Xia Lin Wei-Ya Ni Tomohiko Ohwada Katsutoshi Ido Kohei Sawada 2013Chinese Chemical Letters2013,24,11:4
19Adaptive design of an X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy experiment with Gaussian process modelling显示文摘Spectroscopy is a widely used experimental technique,and enhancing its efficiency can have a strong impact on materials research.We propose an adaptive design for spectroscopy experiments that uses a machine learning technique to improve efficiency.We examined X-ray magnetic circular dichroism(XMCD)spectroscopy for the applicability of a machine learning technique to spectroscopy.An XMCD spectrum was predicted by Gaussian process modelling with learning of an experimental spectrum using a limited number of observed data points.Adaptive sampling of data points with maximum variance of the predicted spectrum successfully reduced the total data points for the evaluation of magnetic moments while providing the required accuracy.The present method reduces the time and cost for XMCD spectroscopy and has potential applicability to various spectroscopies.Tetsuro Ueno Hideitsu Hino Ai Hashimoto Yasuo Takeichi Masahiro Sawada Kanta Ono 2018npj Computational Materials2018,,1:4
20A case study of seismic response of earth embankment foundation on liquefiable soils显示文摘A case study of seismic response of an earth embankment foundation on liquefiable soils in Kansai area,western Japan was presented. Based on a calibrated cyclic elasto-plastic constitutive model for liquefiable sand and Biot dynamic coupled theory,the seismic analysis was carried out by using a dynamic effective stress finite element method under plane strain condition. A recent design study was illustrated in detail for a river earth embankment subjected to seismic excitation on the saturated deposits with liquefiable sands. Simulated results of the embankment foundation during liquefaction were obtained for acceleration,displacement,and excess pore water pressures,which were considered to yield useful results for earthquake geotechnical design. The results show that the foundation soil reaches a fully liquefied state with high excess pore pressure ratios approaching to 1.0 due to the earthquake shaking. At the end of the earthquake,the extensive liquefaction causes about 1.0 m lateral spreading at the toe and 60 cm settlement at the crest of the earth embankment.黄雨 YASHIMA A SAWADA K 张锋 2009Journal of Central South University2009,16,6:4
