Journal ArticleDOI

Increased IL-6-production by cells isolated from the fibrous bone dysplasia tissues in patients with McCune-Albright syndrome.

TL;DR: The role of IL-6 in the bone lesions of MAS is investigated, using the isolated fibrous cells from the polyostotic fibrous dysplasia tissues in bones of the two patients with MAS, and it is suggested that IL- 6 is, at least, one of the downstream effectors of cAMP.
Journal ArticleDOI

1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] increases insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptors in clonal osteoblastic cells. Study on interaction of IGF-I and 1,25-(OH)2D3.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the interaction of IGF-I and 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3 in the culture of MC3T3-E1 cells may be mediated by the effect of 1, 25-(OH)2D3 on IGF- I receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Japanese National Registry data on pediatric CAPD patients: a ten-year experience. A report of the Study Group of Pediatric PD Conference

TL;DR: The excellent patient and technique survival rates indicate that CAPD is an effective treatment for children with end-stage renal disease in Japan, and the high infection rates in younger children indicate that extra careful management is needed for this young age group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical characterization of 1,25(OH)2D3 receptors in chick embryonal duodenal cytosol.

TL;DR: Measurements of serum vitamin D metabolites, calcium and phosphorus as well as measurements of the equilibrium dissociation constant for duodenal 1,25(OH)2D3 receptor in 15-, 18, 19, and 20-day chick embryos in comparison to that in 1- and 118-day-old chicks and to vitamin D-deficient chicks showed that levels rise from 15 and 18 to days 19 and 20 of embryonic development while serum phosphate levels are stable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel mutations in the a3 subunit of vacuolar H(+)-adenosine triphosphatase in a Japanese patient with infantile malignant osteopetrosis.

TL;DR: Results support the important role of the a3 subunit in the function of the proton pump in infantile malignant osteopetrosis.
