Journal ArticleDOI
HDL-Associated Lysosphingolipids Inhibit NAD(P)H Oxidase-Dependent Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Production
Markus Tölle,Alicja Pawlak,M. Schuchardt,Akira Kawamura,Uwe J. F. Tietge,Stefan Lorkowski,Petra Keul,Gerd Assmann,Jerold Chun,Bodo Levkau,Markus van der Giet,Jerzy-Roch Nofer +11 more
TL;DR: HDL-associated lysosphingolipids inhibit NAD(P)H oxidase-dependent ROS generation and MCP-1 production in a process that requires coordinate signaling through S1P3 and SR-B1 receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Density Lipoprotein–Induced Angiogenesis Requires the Activation of Ras/MAP Kinase in Human Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells
Shin-ichiro Miura,Masahiro Fujino,Yoshino Matsuo,Akira Kawamura,Hiroyuki Tanigawa,Hiroaki Nishikawa,Keijiro Saku +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that HDL induced a potent signal through a Ras/MAPK pathway mediated by a pertussis toxin–sensitive G-protein coupled receptor to the angiogenic phenotype in HCECs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical significance of the coronary calcification score by multidetector row computed tomography for the evaluation of coronary stenosis in Japanese patients.
Ryoko Mitsutake,Hideya Niimura,Shin-ichiro Miura,Bo Zhang,Atsushi Iwata,Hiroaki Nishikawa,Akira Kawamura,Koichiro Kumagai,Kazuyuki Shirai,Akira Matsunaga,Keijiro Saku +10 more
TL;DR: The CAC score determined by MDCT can predict CAD independent of other factors, such as age, metabolic diseases and medications, when coronary stenosis can not be diagnosed because of severe calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism associated with a huge uterine myoma--a case report.
Hiroaki Nishikawa,Munehito Ideishi,Taku Nishimura,Akira Kawamura,Hideyuki Kamochi,Hisafumi Tahara,Yoshihiro Tsuchiya,Kazuyuki Shirai,Masanori Okabe,Kikuo Arakawa +9 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that a large uterine myoma compressed veins in the pelvis, and the resulting impaired blood flow caused deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
CXCR3 chemokine receptor-plasma IP10 interaction in patients with coronary artery disease.
Akira Kawamura,Shin-ichiro Miura,Masahiro Fujino,Hiroaki Nishikawa,Yoshino Matsuo,Hiroaki Tanigawa,Sayo Tomita,Yoshihiro Tsuchiya,Kunihiro Matsuo,Keijiro Saku +9 more
TL;DR: The CXCR3 - plasma IP10chemokine receptor - chemokine interaction on monocytes may affect the development of coronary restenosis, but not de novo stenosis, in patients with CAD.
