Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of immunoglobulin plus prednisolone for prevention of coronary artery abnormalities in severe Kawasaki disease (RAISE study): a randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoints trial
Tohru Kobayashi,Tsutomu Saji,Tetsuya Otani,Kazuo Takeuchi,Tetsuya Nakamura,Hirokazu Arakawa,Taichi Kato,Toshiro Hara,Kenji Hamaoka,Shunichi Ogawa,Masaru Miura,Yuichi Nomura,Shigeto Fuse,Fukiko Ichida,Mitsuru Seki,Ryuji Fukazawa,Chitose Ogawa,Kenji Furuno,Hirohide Tokunaga,Shinichi Takatsuki,Shinya Hara,Akihiro Morikawa +21 more
TL;DR: Addition of prednisolone to the standard regimen of intravenous immunoglobulin improves coronary artery outcomes in patients with severe Kawasaki disease in Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revision of diagnostic guidelines for Kawasaki disease (the 5th revised edition).
Tohru Kobayashi,Mamoru Ayusawa,Hiroyuki Suzuki,Jun Abe,Shuichi Ito,Taichi Kato,Masahiro Kamada,Junko Shiono,Kenji Suda,Keiji Tsuchiya,Tsuneyuki Nakamura,Yoshikazu Nakamura,Yuichi Nomura,Hiromichi Hamada,Ryuji Fukazawa,Kenji Furuno,Hiroyuki Matsuura,Tomoyo Matsubara,Masaru Miura,Kei Takahashi +19 more
TL;DR: Major alterations are interpretation of cases with 4 or fewer febrile days shortened by early intravenous immunoglobulin treatment, and the clinical importance of atypical (incomplete, or suspected) cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD25+CD4+ T cells in human cord blood: an immunoregulatory subset with naive phenotype and specific expression of forkhead box p3 (Foxp3) gene.
Yasushi Takahata,Akihiko Nomura,Hidetoshi Takada,Shouichi Ohga,Kenji Furuno,Shunji Hikino,Hideki Nakayama,Shimon Sakaguchi,Toshiro Hara +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that CB contains CD25+CD4+ regulatory T cells as a functionally mature population with naive phenotype and this subset may naturally arise and decline in fetus to play a potential immunoregulatory role in intrauterine life.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Z Score Curve of the Coronary Arterial Internal Diameter Using the Lambda-Mu-Sigma Method in a Pediatric Population
Tohru Kobayashi,Shigeto Fuse,Naoko Sakamoto,Masashi Mikami,Shunichi Ogawa,Kenji Hamaoka,Yoshio Arakaki,Tsuneyuki Nakamura,Hiroyuki Nagasawa,Taichi Kato,Toshiaki Jibiki,Satoru Iwashima,Masaru Yamakawa,Takashi Ohkubo,Shinya Shimoyama,Kentaro Aso,Seiichi Sato,Tsutomu Saji,Hitoshi Kato,Chisato Akita,Takashi Kuwahara,Takahiro Suzuki,Takamichi Ishikawa,Masayuki Watanabe,Mitsuru Seki,Kentaro Ikeda,Yoichiro Ishii,Tomio Kobayashi,Etsuko Hasegawa,Hiromi Shiraiwa,Kyoko Hayashi,Chisato Tabata,Motoki Miyauchi,Junko Miyamoto,Michiko Wada,Hisashi Takasugi,Masaki Yamamoto,Katsuhiko Yamada,Satoshi Hasegawa,Shinya Tsukano,Sayaka Ozawa,Yoshiko Ohnuma,Fukiko Ichida,Seiji Kawamura,Eisuke Suganuma,Shinichi Matsuda,Kaori Sekine,Satoshi Kondo,Masaru Miura,Toshiko Kobayashi,Naoya Fukushima,Tomomi Kure,Yuichi Nomura,Daisuke Eguchi,Nobuyuki Katsumata,Masako Fujiwara,Kota Nakamura,Kenji Furuno,Itsumi Hirasawa,Midori Miki,Takashi Kanai,Hiroyoshi Yoshimoto,Yoshiyuki Kudo,Rumi Yamakawa,Kenji Suda,Keiji Haseyama,Hiromi Manabe,Hiroki Kajino,Kiminori Masuda,Kenji Yasuda,Masayuki Teraguchi,Sachiko Sasaki,Yukie Kamura,Kotaro Oyama,Tetsuya Sano,Kota Takei,Takuo Furukawa,Michihiko Ueno,Takanari Fujii,Hiromi Muta,Mitsunori Nishiyama,Shozaburo Doi +81 more
TL;DR: Novel LMS models with which to estimate the sex-specific Z score of each internal coronary artery diameter were generated and validated using a large pediatric population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest an association between the type of genetic mutation in FHL cases and the magnitude of CTL cytolytic activity and age at onset.
