Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive value of dose-volume histogram parameters for predicting radiation pneumonitis after concurrent chemoradiation for lung cancer
Kayoko Tsujino,Saeko Hirota,Masahiro Endo,Kayoko Obayashi,Yoshikazu Kotani,Miyako Satouchi,Tetsuji Kado,Yoshiki Takada +7 more
TL;DR: The incidence and grade of RP are significantly related to the V20 value, and V20 appears to be a factor that can be used to predict RP after concurrent chemoradiation for lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-small cell lung cancer: whole-body MR examination for M-stage assessment--utility for whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging compared with integrated FDG PET/CT.
Yoshiharu Ohno,Hisanobu Koyama,Yumiko Onishi,Daisuke Takenaka,Munenobu Nogami,Takeshi Yoshikawa,Sumiaki Matsumoto,Yoshikazu Kotani,Kazuro Sugimura +8 more
TL;DR: Whole-body MR imaging with DW imaging can be used for M-stage assessment in NSCLC patients with accuracy as good as that of PET/CT.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metabolomic approach to lung cancer
Suya Hori,Shin Nishiumi,Kazuyuki Kobayashi,Masakazu Shinohara,Yukihisa Hatakeyama,Yoshikazu Kotani,Naoya Hatano,Yoshimasa Maniwa,Wataru Nishio,Takeshi Bamba,Eiichiro Fukusaki,Takeshi Azuma,Tadaomi Takenawa,Yoshihiro Nishimura,Masaru Yoshida +14 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changes in metabolite pattern are useful for assessing the clinical characteristics of lung cancer and will hopefully lead to the establishment of novel diagnostic tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sphingosine Kinase 1 Regulates Differentiation of Human and Mouse Lung Fibroblasts Mediated by TGF-β1
Yuko Kono,Teruaki Nishiuma,Yoshihiro Nishimura,Yoshikazu Kotani,Taro Okada,Shun-ichi Nakamura,Mitsuhiro Yokoyama +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that SPHK1 and α–SMA were colocalized within lung fibrotic foci and that these expressions were significantly increased in primary cultured fibroblasts, and whether S1P receptors transactivation may affect TGF-β signals was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of MMP-9 in normal human bronchial epithelial cells by TNF-α via NF-κB-mediated pathway
TL;DR: In this study, it is determined whether the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin-1β contribute to the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in human bronchi in order to regulate the immune response to chemotherapy.
