Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of serum and salivary antibodies to HTLV-1 in Sjögren's syndrome
Kaoru Terada,Shigeru Katamine,Ryozo Moriuchi,Takenori Miyamoto,K Eguchi,Masako Kita,H Shimada,I Yamashita,S Nagataki,Kokichi Iwata,Yoshiro Tsuji +10 more
TL;DR: Seroepidemiological and virological studies conducted on patients with this syndrome in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan suggest that HTLV-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of the disease in a subset of patients with Sjögren's syndrome in endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary Sjögren's syndrome with antibodies to HTLV-I: clinical and laboratory features.
K Eguchi,Naoki Matsuoka,Hiroaki Ida,Munetoshi Nakashima,M Sakai,S. Sakito,A. Kawakami,Kaoru Terada,H Shimada,Yojiro Kawabe +9 more
TL;DR: The presence of antibodies to HTLV-I in some patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome suggests that HTLV -I may cause primary SJögren’s syndrome or its extraglandular manifestations, or both.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although a recent unanimous consensus of all relevant researchers in Japan recently established the diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease, findings such as the authors' indicate that further discussion is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
RS3PE syndrome presenting as vascular endothelial growth factor associated disorder
Kazuhiko Arima,Tomoki Origuchi,Mami Tamai,Nozomi Iwanaga,Yasumori Izumi,Mingguo Huang,Fumiko Tanaka,Makoto Kamachi,Kouichiro Aratake,Hideki Nakamura,Hiroaki Ida,Masataka Uetani,A. Kawakami,K Eguchi +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured serum concentrations of various cytokines and detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of synovial hypervascularity in patients with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema (RS3PE) syndrome before and after corticosteroid treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transforming growth factor beta 1 induces apoptotic cell death in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells with down-regulated expression of bcl-2.
Toshiaki Tsukada,K Eguchi,K Migita,Yojiro Kawabe,A. Kawakami,Naoki Matsuoka,H Takashima,Akinari Mizokami,S Nagataki +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that TGF-beta 1 regulates the growth of HUVEC by inducing apoptosis accompanied with down-regulation of bcl-2 expression, which is a potent growth inhibitor of human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
