Journal ArticleDOI
The estimated GFR, but not the stage of diabetic nephropathy graded by the urinary albumin excretion, is associated with the carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study
Hiroyuki Ito,Yuko Komatsu,Mizuo Mifune,Shinichi Antoku,Hidenori Ishida,Yuichiro Takeuchi,Michiko Togane +6 more
TL;DR: This study is the first report showing a relationship between the carotid IMT and the renal parameters including eGFR and the stages of diabetic nephropathy with a confirmed association between the IMt and diabetic macroangiopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intranasal priming of newborn mice with microbial extracts increases opsonic factors and mature CD11c+ cells in the airway
TL;DR: Results suggest that microbial exposure early in life increases the amounts of SP-A and SP-D and the number of scavenger MØ and also promotes maturation of CD11c+ cells in the airway of newborn mice, which may be involved in airway resistance to S. pneumoniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular epidemiology and clinical features of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- or carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli bacteremia in Japan.
Yuko Komatsu,Kei Kasahara,Takashi Inoue,Sang-Tae Lee,Tetsuro Muratani,Hisakazu Yano,Tadaaki Kirita,Keiichi Mikasa +7 more
TL;DR: CTX-M-27, CTX- M-14, and ST131 were the most prevalent ESBL-EC isolates from bacteremic patients in a Japanese hospital, and ESBL/IMP-6-EC showed multidrug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atrophic change of tongue papilla in 44 patients with Sjögren syndrome.
Kazuhiko Yamamoto,Miyako Kurihara,Yumiko Matsusue,Yuko Komatsu,Motokatsu Tsuyuki,Takashi Fujimoto,Shinobu Nakamura,Tadaaki Kirita +7 more
TL;DR: The atrophic score of tongue papilla was significantly higher in SjS patients and correlated with the decrease of salivary secretion, the stage on sialography, and the histologic grade of the minor Salivary gland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is an Independent Predictor for Macroangiopathy in Japanese Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Cross-sectional Study
Yuichiro Takeuchi,Hiroyuki Ito,Yuko Komatsu,Koshiro Oshikiri,Shinichi Antoku,Mariko Abe,Mizuo Mifune,Michiko Togane +7 more
TL;DR: NAFLD was associated with an increased prevalence of diabetic macroangiopathy and coronary heart disease in elderly patients and is an independent predictor for diabetic macroangsiopathy, suggesting that type 2 diabetic patients with NAFLD should be considered as a high risk group for developing macroANGiopathy.
