Kengo Kusano,Kazufumi Nakamura,Hitoshi Kusano,Nobuhiro Nishii,Kimikazu Banba,Tetsuya Ikeda,Katsushi Hashimoto,Mika Yamamoto,Hideki Fujio,Aya Miura,Keiko Ohta,Hiroshi Morita,Hironori Saito,Tetsuro Emori,Yoichi Nakamura,Isao Kusano,Tohru Ohe +16 more
TL;DR: An increase in MCP-1 may be an important factor in the progression of atherosclerosis in non-diabetic HD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epoprostenol Therapy Decreases Elevated Circulating Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 in Patients with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension
Katsushi Hashimoto,Kazufumi Nakamura,Hideki Fujio,Katsumasa Miyaji,Hiroshi Morita,Kengo Kusano,Hiroshi Date,Nobuyoshi Shimizu,Tetsuro Emori,Hiromi Matsubara,Tohru Ohe +10 more
TL;DR: Circulating MCP-1 concentrations are increased in PPH patients, but can alleviated by chronic intravenous epoprostenol therapy, which might be one of the important factors responsible for the disease development in patients with PPH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different sizes of centrilobular ground-glass opacities in chest high-resolution computed tomography of patients with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and patients with pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis.
Aya Miura,Satoshi Akagi,Kazufumi Nakamura,Keiko Ohta-Ogo,Katsushi Hashimoto,Satoshi Nagase,Kunihisa Kohno,Kengo Kusano,Aiko Ogawa,Hiromi Matsubara,Shinichi Toyooka,Takahiro Oto,Aiji Ohtsuka,Tohru Ohe,Hiroshi Ito +14 more
TL;DR: Measurement of the sizes of centrilobular GGOs in HRCT is a simple and useful method for clinical differential diagnosis of PVOD and PCH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additional diagnostic value of first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging without stress when combined with 64-row detector coronary CT angiography in patients with coronary artery disease
Kazuhiro Osawa,Toru Miyoshi,Yasushi Koyama,Katsushi Hashimoto,Shuhei Sato,Kazufumi Nakamura,Nobuhiro Nishii,Kunihisa Kohno,Hiroshi Morita,Susumu Kanazawa,Hiroshi Ito +10 more
TL;DR: First-pass CT-MPI in combination with C CTA significantly improved diagnostic performance compared with CCTA alone, and has an additional diagnostic value for detecting coronary stenosis, in particular in patients with severe calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray Diffraction from a Left Ventricular Wall of Rat Heart
Naoto Yagi,Juichiro Shimizu,Satoshi Mohri,Junichi Araki,Kazufumi Nakamura,Hiroshi Okuyama,Hiroko Toyota,Taro Morimoto,Yuki Morizane,Mie Kurusu,Tatsushi Miura,Katsushi Hashimoto,Katsuhiko Tsujioka,Hiroyuki Suga,Fumihiko Kajiya +14 more
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction from the left ventricular wall of an excised, perfused whole heart of a rat using x rays from the third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8 is studied to show that it is possible to assign the origin of reflections in a diffraction diagram from a whole heart.
