Journal ArticleDOI
Possible involvement of the M2 anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype in growth of human gliomas
TL;DR: It is suggested that tumour‐derived M‐CSF induces a shift of microglia/macrophages towards the M2 phenotype, which influences tumour growth.
Journal Article
High-Efficiency in Vivo Gene Transfer Using Intraarterial Plasmid DNA Injection following in Vivo Electroporation
Toru Nishi,Kimio Yoshizato,Shigeo Yamashiro,Hideo Takeshima,Kyoichi Sato,Kazuya Hamada,Isao Kitamura,Teizo Yoshimura,Hideyuki Saya,Jun Ichi Kuratsu,Yukitaka Ushio +10 more
TL;DR: Electrogene therapy, which does not require viral genes or particles, allows genes to be transferred and expressed in desired organs or tissues, and it may lead to the development of a new type of highly effective gene therapy.
Journal Article
Diffusion-weighted imaging of metastatic brain tumors: comparison with histologic type and tumor cellularity
Yoshiko Hayashida,Toshinori Hirai,S. Morishita,M. Kitajima,R. Murakami,Yukunori Korogi,Keishi Makino,Hideo Nakamura,Ichiro Ikushima,Masayuki Yamura,Masato Kochi,Jun Ichi Kuratsu,Y. Yamashita +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Wang et al. measured the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) on T2-weighted images and normalized apparent diffusion coefficient (nADC) values, and compared them with tumor cellularity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural course of unoperated intracranial arteriovenous malformations: study of 50 cases.
Youichi Itoyama,Syouzaburou Uemura,Yukitaka Ushio,Jun Ichi Kuratsu,Nobuhito Nonaka,Hidetaka Wada,Yoshinori Sano,Akinobu Fukumura,Kensei Yoshida,Tatsushi Yano +9 more
TL;DR: Small and deep-seated AVM's were associated with a high incidence of bleeding; however, repeated hemorrhages were not necessarily indicative of a poor prognosis and children younger than 15 years had a better prognosis than adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indications for surgery in patients with asymptomatic meningiomas based on an extensive experience.
Shigetoshi Yano,Jun Ichi Kuratsu +1 more
TL;DR: To avoid surgery-related incidences of morbidity in patients with asymptomatic meningiomas, conservative treatment with close follow-up review may be the best therapeutic strategy.
