Journal ArticleDOI
Macrophage infiltration and its prognostic implications in breast cancer: The relationship with VEGF expression and microvessel density
Shinichi Tsutsui,Kazuhiro Yasuda,Kosuke Suzuki,Kouichirou Tahara,Hidefumi Higashi,Shoichi Era +5 more
TL;DR: The present study demonstrated a close association between TAM infiltration and both the VEGF expression and MVD, which suggested that the prognostic implications of TAM infiltration are due to the involvement of TAMs in tumor angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Site Infection in Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal Surgery
Akihiro Watanabe,Shunji Kohnoe,Rinshun Shimabukuro,Takeharu Yamanaka,Yasunori Iso,Hideo Baba,Hidefumi Higashi,Hiroyuki Orita,Yasunori Emi,Ikuo Takahashi,Daisuke Korenaga,Yoshihiko Maehara +11 more
TL;DR: Strict asepsis and minimal blood loss were associated with a lower incidence of surgical site infection following gastrointestinal surgery, suggesting the use of absorbable suture material may be involved in reducing the risk of SSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Colon Cancer After Liver Transplantation for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Associated with Ulcerative Colitis
TL;DR: It is clear that patients who undergo liver transplantation for primary sclerosing cholangitis associated with ulcerative colitis should have careful follow‐up of the colon, including colonoscopy and multiple biopsies of the colorectal mucosa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of recurrence of esophageal varices after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with ethanolamine oleate.
TL;DR: Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy was given to 155 patients with esophageal varices mainly related to non‐alcoholic liver cirrhosis, with the formation of a superficial ulcer in the lower esophagus achieved in 141 of the 155 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced Expression of PTEN Protein and Its Prognostic Implications in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast
Shinichi Tsutsui,Hiroshi Inoue,Kazuhiro Yasuda,Kosuke Suzuki,Hidefumi Higashi,Shoichi Era,Masaki Mori +6 more
TL;DR: The inactivation ofPTEN, demonstrated by a reduced expression of PTEN protein by immunohistochemistry, was found in about one third of all breast cancers, and the reduced expression correlated with lymph node metastases and a worse prognosis in the patients with breast cancer.
