TL;DR: A SNP in the promoter region of FCRL3, a member of the Fc receptor-like family, that is associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis is identified and this polymorphism alters the binding affinity of nuclear factor-κB and regulatesFCRL3 expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of advanced glycation end products in the peritoneal vasculature of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients with low ultra-filtration.
Kazuho Honda,Kosaku Nitta,Shigeru Horita,Wako Yumura,Hiroshi Nihei,Ryoji Nagai,Kazuyoshi Ikeda,Seikoh Horiuchi +7 more
TL;DR: In CAPD patients, AGE formation in the peritoneum correlates with the development of severe interstitial fibrosis and microvascular sclerosis, which is associated clinically with impaired peritoneal ultra-filtration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Japan as the front‐runner of super‐aged societies: Perspectives from medicine and medical care in Japan
Hidenori Arai,Yasuyoshi Ouchi,Kenji Toba,Tamao Endo,Kentaro Shimokado,Kazuo Tsubota,Seiichi Matsuo,Hidezo Mori,Wako Yumura,Masayuki Yokode,Hiromi Rakugi,Shin-ichi Ohshima +11 more
TL;DR: The demographic structure of a country changes dramatically with increasing trends toward general population aging and declining birth rates; in Japan, the percentage of the elderly population (aged ≥65 years) reached 25% in 2013; it is expected to exceed 30% in 2025 and reach 39.9% in 2060.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological changes in the peritoneal vasculature of patients on CAPD with ultrafiltration failure.
TL;DR: Vascular changes in the peritoneum were histochemically assessed in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) with ultrafiltration failure and suggest that certain toxic factors, such as a high osmolar dialysate or low pH of Dialysate, had affected theperitoneal vasculature from the adventitial side rather than the endothelial side.
Journal ArticleDOI
The progression of vascular calcification and serum osteoprotegerin levels in patients on long-term hemodialysis.
Kosaku Nitta,Takashi Akiba,Keiko Uchida,Akira Kawashima,Wako Yumura,Takashi Kabaya,Hiroshi Nihei +6 more
TL;DR: Rapid progression of vascular calcification was associated with dose of calcium carbonate prescribed and serum OPG concentration, and the clinical significance of these observations remains to be determined.
