概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />The objective of this study was to establish a hepatic lipase (HL) assay method that can be applied to automatic clinical analyzers. Seventy-four hyperlipidemic subjects (men/women 45/29) were recruited. Lipase activity was assayed measuring the increase in absorbance at 546 nm due to quinonediimine dye production. Reaction mixture R-1 contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.5), 0.5 mM glycerol-1,2-dioleate, 0.4% (unless otherwise noted) polyoxyethylenenonylphenylether, 3 mM ATP, 3 mM MgCl2, 1.5 mM CaCl2, monoacylglycerol-specific lipase, glycerol kinase, glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, 0.075% N,N-bis-(4-sulfobutyl)-3-methylaniline-2 Na, peroxidase, ascorbic acid oxidase. Reaction mixture R-2 contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH9.5), 0.15% 4-aminoantypirine. Automated assay for activity was performed with a Model 7080 Hitachi analyzer. In the lipase assay, 160 μl of R-1 was incubated at 37°C with 3 μl of samples for 5 min, and 80 μl of R-2 was added. Within-run coefficient of variations was 0.9-1.0%. Calibration curve of lipase activity was linear (r = 0.999) between 0 and 320 U/l. Analytical recoveries of purified HL added to plasma were 96.6-99.8%. HL activity in postheparin plasma measured in this method had a closer correlation with HL mass by a sandwich ELISA (r = 0.888, P , 0.0001) than those in the conventional method using [ 14C-]triolein (r = 0.730, P < 0.0001). This assay method for HL activity can be applied to an automatic clinical analyzer. Copyright © 2007 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />DNA analyses of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in japanese pati ents with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) were performed to determine the relationship between the CFTR mutation and ICP. The study included patients with alcoholic pancreatitis (n = 20), patients with ICP (n = 20) and healthy volunteers (controls; n = 110). The poly-T region in intron 8 of the CFTR gene was analysed by direct sequencing. The CFTR coding region was screened using single-strand conformational polymorphism and direct sequencing. In the controls, frequencies of the 5T genotype and 5T allele were 4.5% and 3.6%, respectively. The frequency of the 5T genotype was significantly higher in the ICP group (20%) versus controls, but was not significantly different in alcolohol chronic pacreatitis patients (5%). Thus, the CFIR gene mutation, especially the 5T genotype, appears to have some relationship to ICP prevalence in japanese patients independent of cystic fibrosis.

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Background: Many trials have shown that 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase i nhibitors reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality. One method of decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular events could be to reduce the progression of coronary atherosclerosis, and a recent study found that atorvastatin can cause coronary plaque to regress. To generalize this finding, using conventional HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors at many Japanese centers, randomized trials of pitavastatin and atorvastatin will be conducted with patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods and Results: Patients with ACS who have undergone successful percutaneous coronary intervention under intravascular ultrasound guidance will be studied. They will be randomly allocated to pitavastatin or atorvastatin groups and followed up for 8-12 months. The primary endpoint will be the percent change in coronary plaque volume, and secondary endpoints will include absolute changes in coronary plaque volume, serum lipid levels and inflammatory markers. The safety profile will also be evaluated. Conclusions: This study will examine the ability of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors to regress coronary plaque in Japanese patients with ACS and the findings should help to improve the prognosis of such patients and clarify the involved mechanisms.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: http://www.j-circ.or.jp/english/<br />Background There have been few multicenter studies using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to assess the process of atherosclerosis in a Japanese population with hypercholesterolemia that is being treated with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors for control of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. Methods and Results An open-label multicenter study is planned to evaluate with IVUS whether treatment with rosuvastatin for 76 weeks results in regression of coronary artery atheroma volume in patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD) and hypercholesterolemia. Sample size is 200 subjects with CHD who are to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention. The planned duration is between October 2005 and October 2008. Conclusions The COSMOS study will be the first multicenter cardiovascular study in a Japanese population and may provide new evidence on the effects of rosuvastatin on the progression of coronary atherosclerotic lesions.

概要: Background: It has been suggested that intensive lipid-lowering therapy using statins significantly decreases atheromato us plaque volume. The effect of rosuvastatin on plaque volume in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), including those receiving prior lipid-lowering therapy, was examined in the present study. Methods and Results: A 76-week open-label trial was performed at 37 centers in Japan. Eligible patients began treatment with rosuvastatin 2.5 mg/day, which could be increased at 4-week intervals to ≤20 mg/day. A total of 214 patients underwent intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) at baseline; 126 patients had analyzable IVUS images at the end of the study. The change in the serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level from baseline to end of follow-up was -38.6 ±16.9%, whereas that of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was +19.8 ±22.9% (both P<0.0001). Percent change of plaque volume, the primary endpoint, was -5.1 ±14.1% (P<0.0001). Conclusions: Rosuvastatin exerted significant regression of coronary plaque volume in Japanese patients with stable CAD, including those who had previously used other lipid-lowering drugs. Rosuvastatin might be useful in the setting of secondary prevention in patients with stable CAD. (Circ J 2009; 73: 2110-2117)<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: Background: Some supraventricular tachycardias could be ablated from the non-coronary sinus of Valsalva (NSV). However, the characteristics of the NSV electrograms have not been clarified. Methods and Results: A quantitative analysis of the NSV electrograms was performed in 5 patients with tachycardias arising from near the atrioventricular node (AVN) and the His-bundle region, and in 20 control subjects. In another 7 control subjects, the NSV electrograms were compared with those recorded at the left and right sinus of Valsalva (LSV and RSV). The NSV electrograms during sinus rhythm had a larger atrial amplitude than ventricular amplitude, and the ratio of the atrial amplitude to the ventricular amplitude was usually >1, which was apparently different from the LSV and RSV electrograms. A tiny but distinct His-bundle deflection was sometimes recorded at the NSV during sinus rhythm while it was not during the tachycardia. The distance to the His-bundle region in the anteroseptal right atrium was shorter from the NSV than from the RSV or LSV. Conclusions: The precise identification of the catheter position at the NSV is possible using the characteristics of the electrograms. Much attention should be paid during ablation to the NSV because of its vicinity to the AVN and His-bundle region. (Circ J 2009; 73: 838 - 845)<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: Aim: Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim o f this study was to identify differences between fasting and postprandial TG levels, focusing on the influence of waist circumference. Methods: Subjects included 1,505 men and 798 women aged 3865 years who were not taking medications for diabetes or dyslipidemia. Fasting TG levels were measured after an overnight fast, and postprandial TG levels were measured 2 hours after a standardized rice-based lunch (total 740 kcal, 20 g fat, 30 g protein, and 110 g carbohydrates) in the afternoon on the same day. Results: Fasting and postprandial TG levels were highly correlated in both men (r=0.86, p<0.001) and women (r=0.84, p<0.001). Waist circumference was positively correlated with fasting TG (r=0.38 in men and r=0.36 in women) and postprandial TG (r=0.42 in men and r=0.45 in women), respectively. On multiple regression analyses, the association of waist circumference with postprandial TG was still significant (standardized β=0.10 in men and standardized β=0.15 in women, p<0.001) after the inclusion of HbA1c, age, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, alcohol consumption, and fasting TG in the regression model. Conclusion: Postprandial TG has a better relation with waist circumference than fasting TG.<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: In 1982, a 49-year-old Japanese woman had been referred to our hospital for further investigation of her hypercholestero lemia. She was diagnosed as heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, because of Achilles tendon xanthoma and a family history of primary hypercholesterolemia. Three years later, she had chest pain on effort and angina pectoris was diagnosed by coronary angiography. At that time, she underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with 2 saphenous vein grafts (SVG). Because more aggressive cholesterol-lowering therapy was needed for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD), weekly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis was started postoperatively, combined with drug therapy. Since 1986, her serum total cholesterol levels before and after LDL apheresis remained approximately 200 mg/dl and 90 mg/dl, respectively. Although her coronary sclerosis, including the SVG, did not progress appreciably for a period of 20 years, stenotic changes of the aortic valve developed rapidly at age 70, leading to aortic valve replacement surgery in 2005 at age 72. These findings suggest that careful attention to the progression of aortic valve stenosis is needed for extreme hypercholesterolemic patients even under optimal cholesterol-lowering therapy for the secondary prevention of CAD.
