The tryptophan metabolite, kynurenic acid (KYNA), is a preferential antagonist of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor at endogenous brain concentrations. Recent studies have suggested that increase of brain KYNA levels is involved in psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and...

Exercise echocardiography in the evaluation of severity of functional mitral regurgitation in patients with heart failure.

Journal of echocardiography

Kobayashi Y, Sakata Y, Takeda Y, Mano T, Yokogawa J, Matsumiya G, Sawa Y, Nakatani S, Yamamoto K, Komuro I.
PMID: 27278801
J Echocardiogr. 2010 Sep;8(3):97-9. doi: 10.1007/s12574-010-0037-x. Epub 2010 Feb 25.

We present two cases with ischemic cardiomyopathy and similar functional mitral regurgitation (fMR) at rest, who represented different outcomes following mitral valve repair. In case 1, fMR was enhanced during exercise echocardiography, and his symptoms were improved following the...

Short- and Long-term Evaluation of Bioresorbable Scaffolds by Optical Coherence Tomography.

The analysis of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRSs) by optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires a dedicated methodology, as the polymeric scaffold has a distinct appearance and undergoes dynamic structural changes with time. The high resolution of OCT allows for the detailed...

Paediatric patient family engagement with clinical research at a tertiary care paediatric hospital.

Paediatrics & child health

Gill C, Ansermino MJ, Sanatani S, Mulpuri K, Doan Q.
PMID: 25587233

Significant association between glycemic status and increased estimated postglomerular resistance in nondiabetic subjects - study of inulin and para-aminohippuric acid clearance in humans.

Physiological reports

Yasumoto M, Tsuda A, Ishimura E, Uedono H, Ohno Y, Ichii M, Ochi A, Nakatani S, Mori K, Uchida J, Emoto M, Nakatani T, Inaba M.
PMID: 25742958
Physiol Rep. 2015 Mar;3(3). doi: 10.14814/phy2.12321.

We investigated whether glomerular hemodynamic parameters in nondiabetic subjects, including healthy subjects, are associated with glycemic status indices, by simultaneous measurement of inulin (Cin) and para-aminohippuric acid (CPHA) clearance. Twenty-six subjects (age 49.5 ± 13.3 years; 13 men and...

Evaluation of left ventricular rotation by two-dimensional speckle tracking method and real-time three-dimensional echocardiography: comparison with MRI tagging method.

Journal of echocardiography

Hayashi H, Izumi C, Takahashi S, Uchikoshi M, Yamazaki R, Asanuma T, Ishikura F, Beppu S, Nakatani S.
PMID: 27277174
J Echocardiogr. 2011 Sep;9(3):83-9. doi: 10.1007/s12574-010-0077-2. Epub 2010 Dec 15.

BACKGROUND: Recently, it has become possible to evaluate left ventricular (LV) torsion by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking images. However, LV torsion is a three-dimensional (3D) performance, which per se cannot be assessed by the 2D speckle tracking method. The...

Meshwork pattern is an important risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with HBV-related chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology

Habu D, Nishiguchi S, Kawamua E, Lee C, Enomoto M, Nakatani S, Tamori A, Sakaguchi H, Takeda T, Seki S, Ogami M, Fukushima W, Tanaka T, Asai H, Shiomi S.

We analyzed the importance of 'meshwork pattern', a sign representing severe irregularity on the intra-hepatic echogram, in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, as a risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Two hundred and thirty-one...

Relationship between branched-chain amino acid to tyrosine ratio (BTR) and porto-systemic shunt in the Child-Pugh grade A cirrhosis determined by per-rectal portal scintigraphy.

Hepatology research : the official journal of the Japan Society of Hepatology
