| 2 | Improving recognition of hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor:Case report and literature review显示文摘A 58-year-old man presented with the chief complaint of abdominal bloating and was incidentally found to have a liver tumor.As diagnostic imaging studies could not rule out malignancy,the patient underwent partial resection of segment 3 of the liver.The lesion pathologically showed eosinophilic proliferation,in addition to immunohistochemical positivity for human melanoma black 45 and Melan-A,thereby leading to the diagnosis of a hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumor(PEComa).A PEComa arising from the liver is relatively rare.Moreover,the name ‘PEComa' has not yet been widely recognized,and the same disease entity has been called epithelioid angiomyolipoma(EAML),further diminishing the recognition of PEComa.In addition,PEComa imaging findings mimic those of malignant liver tumors,and clinically,this tumor tends to enlarge.Therefore,a PEComa is difficult to diagnose.We conducted a systematic review of PEComa and EAML cases and discuss the results,including findings useful for differentiating perivascular epithelioid cell tumors from malignant liver tumors. | Toshiya Maebayashi Katsumi Abe Takuya Aizawa Masakuni Sakaguchi Naoya Ishibashi Osamu Abe Tadatoshi Takayama Hisashi Nakayama Shunichi Matsuoka Kazushige Nirei Hitomi Nakamura Masahiro Ogawa Masahiko Sugitani | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,17: | 20 |

| 4 | Efficacy of treatment with rebamipide for endoscopic submucosal dissection-induced ulcers显示文摘AIM:To prospectively compare the healing rates of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)-induced ulcers treated with either a proton-pump inhibitor(PPI)or rebamipide.METHODS:We examined 90 patients with early gastric cancer who had undergone ESD.All patients were administered an intravenous infusion of the PPI lansoprazole(20 mg)every 12 h for 2 d,followed by oral administration of lansoprazole(30 mg/d,5 d).After7-d treatment,the patients were randomly assigned to 2 groups and received either lansoprazole(30 mg/d orally,n=45;PPI group)or rebamipide(300 mg orally,three times a day;n=45;rebamipide group).At 4and 8 wk after ESD,the ulcer outcomes in the 2 groups were compared.RESULTS:No significant differences were noted in patient age,underlying disease,tumor location,Helicobacter pylori infection rate,or ESD-induced ulcersize between the 2 groups.At both 4 and 8 wk,the healing rates of ESD-induced ulcers were similar in the PPI-treated and the rebamipide-treated patients(4 wk:PPI,27.2%;rebamipide,33.3%;P=0.5341;8 wk:PPI,90.9%;rebamipide,93.3%;P=0.6710).At 8 wk,the rates of granulation lesions following ulcer healing were significantly higher in the PPI-treated group(13.6%)than in the rebamipide-treated group(0.0%;P=0.0103).Ulcer-related symptoms were similar in the2 treatment groups at 8 wk.The medication cost of 8-wk treatment with the PPI was 10945 yen vs 4889 yen for rebamipide.No ulcer bleeding or complications due to the drugs were observed in either treatment group.CONCLUSION:The healing rate of ESD-induced ulcers was similar with rebamipide or PPI treatment;however,rebamipide treatment is more cost-effective and prevents granulation lesions following ulcer healing. | Masaki Takayama Shigenaga Matsui Masanori Kawasaki Yutaka Asakuma Toshiharu Sakurai Hiroshi Kashida Masatoshi Kudo | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,34: | 15 |
| 5 | Fatal liver failure due to reactivation of lamivudine-resistant HBV mutant显示文摘We report a case of fatal liver failure due to reactivation of lamivudine-resistant HBV. A 53-year-old man was followed since 1998 for HBV-related chronic hepatitis. Serum HBV-DNA was 150 MEq/mL (branched DNA signal amplification assay) and ALT levels fluctuated between 50-200 IU/L with no clinical signs of liver cirrhosis. Lamivudine (100 mg/d) was started in May 2001 and serum HBV-DNA subsequently decreased below undetectable levels. In May 2002, serum HBV-DNA had increased to 410 MEq/mL, along with ALT flare (226 IU/L). The YMDD motif in the DNA polymerase gene had been replaced by YIDD. Lamivudine was continued and ALT spontaneously decreased to the former levels. On Oct 3 the patient presenting with general fatigue, nausea and jaundice was admitted to our hospital. The laboratory data revealed HBV reactivation and liver failure (ALT: 1828 IU/L, total bilirubin: 10 mg/dL, and prothrombin INR: 3.24). For religious reasons, the patient and his family refused blood transfusion, plasma exchange and liver transplantation. The patient died 10 d after admission. The autopsy revealed remarkable liver atrophy. | Tatehiro Kagawa Norihito Watanabe Hisashi Kanouda Ichiro Takayama Tadahiko Shiba Takashi Kanai Kazuya Kawazoe Shinji Takashimizu Nobue Kumaki Kazuo Shimamura Shohei Matsuzaki Tetsuya Mine | 2004 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2004,10,11: | 10 |
| 6 | Surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: Evidence-based outcomes显示文摘Surgeons may be severely criticized from the perspective of evidence-based medicine because the majority of surgical publications appear not to be convincing. In the top nine surgical journals in 1996, half of the 175 publications refer to pilot studies lacking a control group, 18% to animal experiments, and only 5% to randomized controlled trials (RCT). There are five levels of clinical evidence:level 1 (randomized controlled trial), level 2 (prospective concurrent cohort study), level 3 (retrospective historical cohort study), level 4 (pre-post study), and level 5 (case report). Recently, a Japanese evidence-based guideline for the surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was made by a committee (Chairman, Professor Makuuchi and five members). We searched the literature using the Medline Dialog System with four Keywords:HCC, surgery, English papers, in the last 20 years. A total of 915 publications were identified systematically reviewed. At the first selection (in which surgery-dominant papers were selected), 478 papers survived. In the second selection (clearly concluded papers), 181 papers survived. In the final selection (clinically significant papers), 100 papers survived. The evidence level of the 100 surviving papers is shown here:level-1 papers (13%), level-2 papers (11%), level-3 papers (52%), and level-4 papers (24%);therefore, there were 24% prospective papers and 76% retrospective papers. Here, we present a part of the guideline on the five main surgical issues:indication to operation, operative procedure, peri-operative care, prognostic factor, and post-operative adjuvant therapy. | Shintaro Yamazaki Tadatoshi Takayama | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,5: | 8 |

| 9 | Suppression of Wave-Excited Vibration of Offshore Platform by Use of Tuned Liquid Dampers显示文摘This paper describes experimental and theoretical investigations of Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) characteristics forsuppressing the wave-excited structural vibration. The structural model for the experiments is scaled according to a fullsize offshore platform by matching their dynamic properties. Rectangular TLDs of different sizes with partially filled liq-uid are examined. By observing the performance and behavior of TLDs through laboratory experiments, the study inves-tigates the influence of a number of parameters, including container size, container shape, frequency ratio, and incidentwave characteristics. In an analytical study, a mathematical model that describes the nonlinear behavior of liquid inTLD and the interaction of TLD and structure is prerequisite. The validity of the model is evaluated and simulating re-sults can reasonably match the corresponding experimental results. | 董胜 李华军 Tomotsuka TAKAYAMA | 2001 | China Ocean Engineering2001,16,2: | 6 |
| 10 | Management before hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis显示文摘The global distribution of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) varies markedly among regions, and patients in East Asia and Central Africa account for about 80% of all cases. The risk factors are hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcohol, and etc. The risk of carcinogenesis further increases with progression to hepatic cirrhosis in all liver disorders. Radical treatment of HCC by liver resection without causing liver failure has been established as a safe approach through selection of an appropriate range of resection of the damaged liver. This background indicates that both evaluation of hepatic functional reserve and measures against concomitant diseases such as thrombocytopenia accompanying portal hypertension, prevention of rupture of esophageal varices, reliable control of ascites, and improvement of hypoalbuminemia are important issues in liver resection in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. We review the latest information on perioperative management of liver resection in HCC patients with hepatic cirrhosis. | Hisashi Nakayama Tadatoshi Takayama | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,20: | 6 |
| 11 | Imaging pitfalls of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm and its potential mimickers显示文摘The aim of this article is to clarify diagnostic pitfalls of pancreatic serous cystic neoplasm(SCN) that may result in erroneous characterization. Usual and unusual imaging findings of SCN as well as potential SCN mimickers are presented. The diagnostic key of SCN is to look for a cluster of microcysts(honeycomb pattern), which may not be always found in the center. Fibrosis in SCN may be mistaken for a mural nodule of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). The absence of cyst wall enhancement may be helpful to distinguish SCN from mucinous cystic neoplasm. However, oligocystic SCN and branch duct type IPMN may morphologically overlap. In addition, solid serous adenoma, an extremely rare variant of SCN, is difficult to distinguish from neuroendocrine tumor. | Kousei Ishigami Akihiro Nishie Yoshiki Asayama Yasuhiro Ushijima Yukihisa Takayama Nobuhiro Fujita Shunichi Takahata Takao Ohtsuka Tetsuhide Ito Hisato Igarashi Shuji Ikari Catherine M Metz Hiroshi Honda | 2014 | World Journal of Radiology2014,6,3: | 6 |

| 13 | Engaging with the More-Than-Human and Decolonial Turns in the Land of Shinto Cosmologies: “Negative” Comparative Education in Practice显示文摘Purpose:In this explorative,self-reflective article,I attempt to extend the methodological discussion of a“negative”approach to comparative education that I have recently articulated elsewhere.Here,I demonstrate how I attempted to put in practice negative comparative education by drawing on my experience at the Shanghai workshop,Beyond the Western Horizon in Educational Research,organized by Iveta Silova,Jeremy Rappleye,and Yun You at the East China Normal University.Design/Approach/Methods:I conceive my participation in the Shanghai workshop as a disruptive moment wherein my previous forms of knowing and being were challenged.More specifically,I discuss how my attempt to situate the ecofeminist and decolonial literature,the two of the three main bodies of literature introduced through the workshop,within the context of Japanese education triggered me to reconsider the role of Shinto in Japanese education and question my own firm identification with the liberal–left politics within Japan.Findings:I reflect upon how the initial sense of discomfort and the remaining sense of ambivalence took me on a journey of unlearning and relearning about the limits of my knowing,my own political subjectivities,and the place of Shinto cosmologies in Japanese education.Originality/Value:I conclude the discussion with a few provisional thoughts that point us to an approach to comparative education that makes our research“a matter of concern”across multiple linguistically bounded,national and regional scholarly communities. | Keita Takayama | 2020 | ECNU Review of Education2020,3,1: | 5 |

| 15 | Strategies for gastric cancer in the modern era显示文摘Gastric cancer is one of the most common neoplasms in Japan, and it is also the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Nowadays, infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a known risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. Therefore, gastric cancer should be considered as an infectious disease, and in fact, prophylactic eradication of H. pylori may prevent the development of metachronous gastric carcinoma. Before the role of H. pylori was understood, a different approach was used. Recently even after the cancer has developed, some newer therapeutic approaches have been pursued. These newer treatments have been summarized as 'minimally invasive therapies' and use endoscopic or laparoscopic techniques. In addition, robotic approaches are being developed that seem to hold a great potential to change the surgical approach. Since basic understanding and treatment of the disease have both changed signif icantly over the last decade, we present a review of current advances in gastric cancer research and therapy. | Satoru Takayama Takehiro Wakasugi Hitoshi Funahashi Hiromitsu Takeyama | 2010 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2010,2,9: | 5 |
| 16 | Effects of estradiol and progesterone on the proinflammatory cytokine production by mononuclear cells from patients with chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of estradiol (E2) and progesterone on the unstimulated and oxidative stressstimulated production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-8, and macrophage chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with chronic hepatitis C and healthy controls. METHODS:The PBMCs were separated from agematched 72 males and 71 females with and without chronic hepatitis C, who were divided into two groups based on a mean menopausal age of 50 years. Oxidative stress was induced by hydrogen peroxide in the cells incubated in serum-free media. Cytokines in the culture supernatant were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS:The highest levels of the spontaneous production of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and MCP-1 by the unstimulated PBMCs were in the older male patients with chronic hepatitis C and the lowest levels were in the premenopausal female healthy controls. E2 inhibited the cytokine production by the unstimulated PBMCs from the older male and post-menopausal female patients, which was further stimulated by progesterone. The exposure to hydrogen peroxide in the PBMCs from the younger male and pre-menopausal female healthy subjects induced the production of cytokines. The change rates of the hydrogen peroxide-stimulated cytokine production were suppressed by E2 and enhanced by progesterone. CONCLUSION:These findings suggest that E2 may play a favorable role in the course of persistent liver injury by preventing the accumulation of monocytes-macrophages and by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine production, whereas progesterone may counteract the favorable E2 effects. | Ying Yuan Ichiro Shimizu Mi Shen Eriko Aoyagi Hidetaka Takenaka Tatuzo Itagaki Mari Urata Katsutaka Sannomiya Nao Kohno Katsuyoshi Tamaki Masayuki Shono Tetsuji Takayama | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,14: | 5 |
| 17 | ADCP application for long-term monitoring of coastal water显示文摘Three kind of application of ADCP is reported for long-term monitoring in coastal sea.(1)The rourine monitoring of water qualities.The water quality and ADCP echo data (600 kHz) observed in the long-term are analgzed at MT (Marine Tower) Station of Kansai International Airport in the Osaka Bay, Japan. The correlation between the turbidity and echo intensity in the surface layer is not good because air bubbles generated by breaking wave are not detected by the turbidity meter, but detected well by ADCP. When estimating the turbidity consists of plankton population from echo intensity, the effect ofbubbles have to be eliminated. (2) Monitoring stirring up of bottom sediment. The special observation was carded out by using following two ADCP in the Osaka Bay, One ADCP was installed upward on the sea. The other ADCP was hanged downward at the gate type stand about 3 m above from the bottom. At the spring tide, high echo intensities indicating the stirring up of bottom sediment were observed. (3) The monitoring for the boundary condition of water mixing at an estuary. In summer season, the ADCP was set at the mouth of Tanabe Bay in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.During the observation, water temperature near the bottom showed remarkable falls with interval of about 5~7 d. When the bottom temperature fell, the inflow current with low echo intensity water appears at the bottom layer in the ADCP record. It is concluded that when occasional weak northeast wind makes weak coastal upwelling at the mouth of the bay, the combination of upwelling with internal tidal flow causes remarkable water exchange and dispels the red tide. | YOSHIOKA Hiroshi TAKAYAMA Tomotsuka SERIZAWA Shigeatsu | 2005 | Acta Oceanologica Sinica2005,24,1: | 4 |
| 18 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasonographic findings of serum amyloid A-positive hepatocellular neoplasm: Does hepatocellular adenoma arise in cirrhotic liver?显示文摘Hepatocellular adenoma(HCA) was recently classified into four pathological subtypes. There have been few studies describing the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) of each type. Our case concerns a 78-year-old man who had undergone routine medical check-ups for hepatitis C for 11 years. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a 28 mm, hypo-echoic mass in the segment 4 of the liver. His integrating amount of drinking was 670 kg convert into ethanol. CEUS with Sonazoid demonstrated mild uniform hypo-enhancement with inflow of microbubbles from the periphery of the tumor in the arterial phase, and heterogeneously hypo-enhancement in the post vascular phase. Because the mass increased in size within 3 mo, a well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma was suspected, and hepatic resection was performed. Microscopic findings showed homogeneous cell proliferation with low grade atypia, infiltration of inflammatory cells, ductular reactions, fatty deposit in part, and sinusoidal dilation. Immunohistochemistry revealed geographic positive for serum amyloid A(SAA), focal positive for glutaminesynthetase, diffuse and strong positive for C-reactive protein, and positive for liver-type fatty acid binding protein. These pathological features corresponded to that of an inflammatory HCA. However, we could not make a clear diagnosis, because HCAs were defined as not to arise in cirrhotic liver. Finally, this tumor was diagnosed as a SAA positive hepatocellular neoplasm. | Mariko Kumagawa Naoki Matsumoto Yukinobu Watanabe Midori Hirayama Takao Miura Hiroshi Nakagawara Masahiro Ogawa Shunichi Matsuoka Mitsuhiko Moriyama Tadatoshi Takayama Masahiko Sugitani | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,26: | 4 |
| 19 | Use of barbed suture for peritoneal closure in transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair显示文摘AIM:To investigate the use of the V-Loc wound closure device for transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair. METHODS:We performed conventional transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair in 19 patients, including one single incisional case using V-Loc. Except for the use of V-Loc for peritoneal closure, the procedures were the same as those used in conventional techniques. RESULTS:Although the operators included 2 residents who have no experience in laparoscopic herniorrhaphy and intracorporeal suture, the operations were completed. We believe that V-Loc is especially suitable for inexperienced surgeons and the use of V-Loc reduces the operative time by a small amount but reduces operator stress significantly. CONCLUSION:We conclude that V-Loc is the ideal peritoneal closure device for transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair. | Satoru Takayama Nozomu Nakai Midori Shiozaki Ryo Ogawa Masaki Sakamoto Hiromitsu Takeyama | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2012,4,7: | 4 |
| 20 | Partially hydrolyzed guar gum attenuates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in mice through the gut-liver axis显示文摘BACKGROUND The gut-liver axis has attracted much interest in the context of chronic liver disease pathogenesis.Prebiotics such as dietary fibers were shown to attenuate non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)by modulating gut microbiota.Partially hydrolyzed guar gum(PHGG),a water-soluble dietary fiber,has been reported to alleviate the symptoms of various intestinal diseases and metabolic syndromes.However,its effects on NAFLD remain to be fully elucidated.To determine whether treatment with PHGG attenuates NAFLD development in mice through the gut-liver axis.METHODS Seven-week-old male C57BL/6J mice with increased intestinal permeability were fed a control or atherogenic(Ath)diet(a mouse model of NAFLD)for 8 wk,with or without 5%PHGG.Increased intestinal permeability was induced through chronic intermittent administration of low-dose dextran sulfate sodium.Body weight,liver weight,macroscopic findings in the liver,blood biochemistry[aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT),total cholesterol,triglyceride,free fatty acids,and glucose levels],liver histology,myeloperoxidase activity in liver tissue,mRNA expression in the liver and intestine,serum endotoxin levels in the portal vein,intestinal permeability,and microbiota and short-chain fatty acid(SCFA)profiles in the cecal samples were investigated.RESULTS Mice with increased intestinal permeability subjected to the Ath diet showed significantly increased serum AST and ALT levels,liver fat accumulation,liver inflammatory(tumor necrosis factor-αand monocyte chemotactic protein-1)and fibrogenic(collagen 1a1 andαsmooth muscle actin)marker levels,and liver myeloperoxidase activity,which were significantly attenuated by PHGG treatment.Furthermore,the Ath diet combined with increased intestinal permeability resulted in elevated portal endotoxin levels and activated toll-like receptor(TLR)4 and TLR9 expression,confirming that intestinal permeability was significantly elevated,as observed by evaluating the lumen-to-blood clearance of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran.PHGG treatment did not affect fatty acid metabolism in the liver.However,it decreased lipopolysaccharide signaling through the gut-liver axis.In addition,it significantly increased the abundance of cecal Bacteroides and Clostridium subcluster XIVa.Treatment with PHGG markedly increased the levels of SCFAs,particularly,butyric acid,acetic acid,propionic acid,and formic acid,in the cecal samples.CONCLUSION PHGG partially prevented NAFLD development in mice through the gut-liver axis by modulating microbiota and downstream SCFA profiles. | Shun Takayama Kazuhiro Katada Tomohisa Takagi Takaya Iida Tomohiro Ueda Katsura Mizushima Yasuki Higashimura Mayuko Morita Tetsuya Okayama Kazuhiro Kamada Kazuhiko Uchiyama Osamu Handa Takeshi Ishikawa Zenta Yasukawa Tsutomu Okubo Yoshito Itoh Yuji Naito | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,18: | 4 |
