Race and Household Income Are Associated With Disease Outcomes in Pediatric Patients With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis Hospitalized in the United States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Race and household income impact outcomes in patients with rheumatic conditions; however, their role in pediatric antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis (AAV) remains poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate whether race and ethnicity and household income are associated with severe AAV disease and renal outcomes among

Trends of kidney transplantation in Japan in 2018: data from the kidney transplant registry

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2019
The number of kidney transplants has gradually increased in the last decade; it was 1742 in Japan in 2017. The outcomes have improved year by year, with the indications for transplantation expanding accordingly.

Development of a Disease Activity Index for the Assessment of VEXAS Syndrome (VEXAS‐DAI)

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective VEXAS syndrome is characterized by a complex spectrum of inflammatory and hematologic manifestations. Clinical research to identify effective therapies is urgently needed but is hindered by the lack of validated outcome measures. A VEXAS‐specific disease activity index (DAI) is an essential tool for reliably capturing changes in disease ...

Ureter metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background In most cases, prostate cancer metastasizes to the lymph nodes, bone, and liver. In very rare cases, it metastasizes to the ureter. Due to the difficulty in making a preoperative diagnosis, ureteral metastasis from prostate cancer is typically

Three‐Dimensional Biomimetic Aerogel Conduits with Electro‐Ionic‐Immune Coupling Reverse the Pathological Cascade of Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A biomimetic aerogel conduit was engineered from a nanofiber of gelatin/poly(l‐lactic acid) doped with polypyrrole nanoparticles, integrated with tannic acid and Mg2+. This “electro‐ionic‐immune” strategy mimicked spinal cord properties, reduced calcium overload, inflammation, oxidative damage, promoted neural stem cell differentiation, suppressed ...

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Management of a case of colovesical fistula with fecaluria as first sign

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences, 2015
Introduction. Fecaluria and pneumaturia are the patognomonic signs of an abnormal communication between the bladder and the intestinal tract. Therefore, when a history of digestive signs, symptoms or digestive diseases is missing, this borderline ...

Ischemia augments alloimmune injury through IL-6-driven CD4+ alloreactivity

Scientific Reports, 2018
Ischemia reperfusion injuries (IRI) are unavoidable in solid organ transplantation. IRI augments alloimmunity but the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Herein, we examined the effect of IRI on antigen specific alloimmunity.

Gut Microbiota Regulates Systemic Inflammatory Response and Compensatory Anti‐Inflammatory Response Syndromes by Targeting PF4+ Macrophages in Acute Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) begins with pancreatic local inflammation, leading to the onset of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), followed by compensatory anti‐inflammatory response syndrome (CARS), which causes immune paralysis and higher mortality rate.
