概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Introduction: We examined the impact of autoantibodies on the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A total of 112 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who had CKD were enrolled in this study and followed for a mean of 45 months. Sera from these patients were screened for anti-EPOR antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results: Anti-EPOR antibodies were detected in 26 patients (23%). Anti-EPOR antibodies were associated with low hemoglobin concentrations and decreased renal function. In patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy, anti-EPOR antibodies were associated with increased levels of interstitial inflammation. A decrease in renal function was observed more frequently in patients with antibodies than in those without antibodies, and the presence of the antibodies together with well-known clinical parameters, including proteinuria and low glomerular filtration rate, was a significant risk factor for end-stage renal disease. In human tubular epithelial HK-2 cells, IgG fractions containing anti-EPOR antibodies upregulated the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mRNA under a high concentration of glucose. Conclusion: Anti-EPOR antibodies might be involved in the progression of renal lesions and in the impaired erythropoiesis in type 2 diabetic patients with CKD. Furthermore, the presence of anti-EPOR antibodies may be an additional predictor for end-stage renal disease in type 2 diabetes. © 2017 International Society of Nephrology<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Background: Although fragmented QRS complex (frag-QRS) reflecting intra-ventricular conduction delay has been shown to be a prognostic marker for cardiac events, few data exist regarding the impact of frag-QRS on cardiac events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Methods and Results: Ninety-four HCM patients (56 male; mean age, 58}17 years) were retrospectively investigated. Frag-QRS was defined as the presence of various RsR’ patterns in at least 2 contiguous ECG leads. Major arrhythmic events (MAE) were defined as sudden cardiac death, and combined sustained ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation. New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) was diagnosed based on ECG during provisional or routine medical examination. Heart failure (HF) with hospitalization was defined as hospital admission due to subjective or objective symptoms. Frag-QRS was detected in 31 patients (33%). TNNI3 was the most frequent disease-causing gene. Median follow-up was 4.6 years. The 4-year cumulative survival rates of cardiac death, MAE, new-onset AF and HF with hospitalization were 97.6%, 94.6%, 87.5% and 89.3%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, frag-QRS was significantly associated with HF with hospitalization (adjusted hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals]: 5.4 [1.2–36], P=0.03). Moreover, HF-free survival was significantly lower in the frag-QRS (+) group compared to the frag-QRS (–) group (79.0% vs. 95.1%, P=0.03).Conclusions: Frag-QRS is associated with HF with hospitalization in HCM patients who had a unique distribution of gene mutations. © 2014, The Japanese Circulation Society<br />出版者照会後に全文公開 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Background: Myocardial scarring can be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gado linium enhancement and by endomyocardial biopsy. However, accuracy of late gadolinium enhancement for predicting microscopic myocardial scarring in biopsied specimens remains unknown in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We investigated whether late gadolinium enhancement in the whole heart reflects microscopic myocardial scarring in the small biopsied specimens in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods and Results: Twenty-one consecutive patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who were examined both by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and by endomyocardial biopsy were retrospectively studied. The right interventricular septum was the target site for endomyocardial biopsy in all patients. Late gadolinium enhancement in the ventricular septum had an excellent sensitivity (100%) with a low specificity (40%) for predicting microscopic myocardial scarring in biopsied specimens. The sensitivity of late gadolinium enhancement in the whole heart remained 100% with a specificity of 27% for predicting microscopic myocardial scarring in biopsied specimens. Quantitative assessments of fibrosis revealed that the extent of late gadolinium enhancement in the whole heart was the only independent variable related to the microscopic collagen fraction in biopsied specimens (β = 0.59, 95% confident interval: 0.15-1.0, p = 0.012). Conclusions: Although there was a compromise in the specificity, the sensitivity of late gadolinium enhancement was excellent for prediction of microscopic myocardial scarring in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Moreover, the severity of late gadolinium enhancement was independently associated with the quantitative collagen fraction in biopsied specimens in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These findings indicate that late gadolinium enhancement can reflect both the presence and the extent of microscopic myocardial scarring in the small biopsied specimens in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. © 2014 Konno et al. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Asian dust, known as kosa in Japanese, is a major public health concern. In this panel study, we eva luated the effects of exposure to kosa on daily cough occurrence. The study subjects were 86 patients being treated for asthma, cough variant asthma, or atopic cough in Kanazawa University Hospital from January 2011 to June 2011. Daily mean concentrations of kosa and spherical particles were obtained from light detection and ranging (LIDAR) measurements, and were categorized from Grade 1 (0 μg/m3) to 5 (over 100 μg/m3). The association between kosa and cough was analyzed by logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation. Kosa effects on cough were seen for all Grades with potential time lag effect. Particularly at Lag 0 (the day of exposure), a dose-response relationship was observed: the odds ratios for Grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 above the referent (Grade 1) were 1.111 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.995-1.239), 1.171 (95% CI: 1.006-1.363), 1.357 (95% CI: 1.029-1.788), and 1.414 (95% CI: 0.983-2.036), respectively. Among the patients without asthma, the association was higher: the odds ratios for Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5 were 1.223 (95% CI: 0.999-1.497), 1.309 (95% CI: 0.987-1.737), 1.738 (95% CI: 1.029-2.935) and 2.403 (95% CI: 1.158-4.985), respectively. These associations remained after adjusting for the concentration of spherical particles or particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5). Our findings demonstrate that kosa is an environmental factor which induces cough in a dose-response relationship. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.<br />Embargo Period 12 months 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />In the present study, we tried to establish an efficient assay for total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in human plasma using a 96-well microplate. TAC was assessed using lag time by antioxidants against the myoglobin-induced oxidation of 2,2′-azino-di(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) with hydrogen peroxide, and expressed as Trolox equivalent. The linearity of the calibration curve with Trolox was maintained with the Trolox concentration range from 2.5 μM to 25 μM (R2 = 0.997). The assay was applied to the measurement of TAC in healthy human plasma. Coefficient of variation in intraday assay was 2.4%. Difference was not observed in interday assay. Plasma TAC of men ((569 ± 41) μM Trolox equivalent; n = 6) was higher than that of women ((430 ± 28) μM Trolox equivalent; n = 4). After the vegetable juice was drunk for 1 week, the increase in plasma TAC was observed in almost all the volunteers. In summary, we developed the efficient assay for plasma TAC using a 96-well microplate. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />Objective: To evaluate severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) with regard to risk factors for mortality and to compare ICU patients with matched non-ICU patients to evaluate whether our judgement for ICU admission was appropriate or not. Materials and methods: During a 7-year period, all patients with CAP who were admitted to the ICU were examined. They underwent clinical and radiographic evaluations, and two commonly used severity of illness scores were also calculated using the Simplified Acute Physiological Score (SAPS) and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II methods. To detect risk factors for ICU admission using existing guidelines, each study patient was matched with two patients hospitalized in a general medical ward. Results: Seventy-two patients were identified during the study period. Their mean age was 72.9 years, and 35 patients (48.6%) subsequently died. For the univariate analysis, there were significant differences with the pulse rate ≥130/min, blood urea nitrogen ≥30 mg/dl, multilobar shadow, SAPS ≥43, APACHE II ≥23, and the occurrence of septic shock between the survivors and those who died. For the multivariate analysis, septic shock (p=0.0005, odds ratio of 26.6) and blood urea nitrogen ≥30 mg/dl (p=0.037, odds ratio of 5.38) were associated with mortality. Regarding the characteristics of different clinical predictions for ICU admission, the revised American Thoracic Society criteria might have been the most accurate. Conclusion: Septic shock was associated with high mortality, which is a more accurate and higher predictor of mortality than was physical examination, laboratory or radiographic findings. 続きを見る

概要: 金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系<br />(Di)bromotyrosine is formed by the specific reaction of eosinophil peroxidase and can be used as an eosinophil activation marker. In the present study, an antibody for (di)bromotyrosine in proteins was prepared to investigate the pathogenesis of eosinophil-related diseases such as allergic responses. A rabbit polyclonal antibody was raised against brominated keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The specificity of the antiserum was investigated with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The antiserum recognized brominated bovine serum albumin (BSA) and dibromotyrosine-conjugated BSA. The antiserum also reacted with chlorinated BSA and di-iodotyrosine-conjugated BSA. Moreover, the specificity of the antiserum was investigated using competitive ELISA. Dibromotyrosine and di-iodotyrosine inhibited the recognition of brominated BSA by the antiserum. However, the recognition of brominated BSA by the antiserum was not inhibited by bromotyrosine, chlorotyrosine, iodotyrosine, nitrotyrosine, aminotyrosine, phosphotyrosine, or tyrosine. These results suggested that the epitope of the antiserum is dihalogenated tyrosine. Immunohistochemically, the antiserum stained brominated rat eosinophils but not chlorinated or nitrated eosinophils. In conclusion, an antiserum for dihalogenated protein was prepared. It is expected that the antiserum will be useful for the analysis of the pathogenesis of allergic diseases such as asthma and atopic dermatitis. 続きを見る
