Journal ArticleDOI
The correlation between papillary thyroid carcinoma and lymphocytic infiltration in the thyroid gland
Sunao Matsubayashi,Keisuke Kawai,Y. Matsumoto,T. Mukuta,Tetsuya Morita,K Hirai,Fumio Matsuzuka,K.-I. Kakudoh,Kanji Kuma,Hajime Tamai +9 more
TL;DR: Lymphocytic infiltration surrounding the tumor or inside the tumor in PTC might be of use as a means for predicting a favorable prognosis and class II or class III patients with no lymphocytic infiltrate had a high rate of recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Serum Thyroid Hormone, Thyrotropin and Thyroglobulin Concentrations during Thyroxine Therapy in Patients with Solitary Thyroid Nodules
Tetsuya Morita,Hajime Tamai,Akira Ohshima,Gen Komaki,Sunao Matsubayashi,Kanji Kuma,Etsuya Nakagawa +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that serum Tg levels decrease when T4 therapy is effective, which may prove a useful indicator of the efficacy of T4 Therapy in patients with solitary thyroid nodules.
Journal ArticleDOI
The occurrence of thyrotropin binding-inhibiting immunoglobulins and thyroid-stimulating antibodies in patients with silent thyroiditis.
Tetsuya Morita,Hajime Tamai,Akira Oshima,Toshio Mukuta,Shuji Fukata,Kanji Kuma,L F Kumagai,Shigenobu Nagataki +7 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that increased TSAb and TBII activity may be detected in patients with silent thyroiditis and, when present, are associated with transient hypothyroidism during the course of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and HLA in japanese
TL;DR: Data suggest that susceptibility to HT is primarily associated with HLA-DRw53 and that Hla-DQ alleles may control the production of autoantibodies to the thyroid gland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methimazole-induced agranulocytosis in Japanese patients with Graves' disease.
Hajime Tamai,Yukihiko Takaichi,Tetsuya Morita,Gen Komaki,Sunao Matsubayashi,Kanji Kuma,Robert M. Walter,Lindy F. Kumagai,Shigenobu Nagataki +8 more
TL;DR: The records of approximately 7000 Japanese patients whose hyperthyroidism was treated with methimazole (MMI) alone indicate that agranulocytosis after MMI may occur irrespective of dose, age, duration of treatment, and with a second exposure.
