Autoimmune Hepatitis Accompanied by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
2004
Internal medicine (Tokyo. 1992)
Preserved Fulltext
We report a series of five patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) accompanied by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (AIH-SLE overlap). Serologic tests showed that all patients were positive for antinuclear antibody and double-stranded DNA antibody. Histological examination of the liver showed that three of the patients had chronic hepatitis with severe activity. One of the other two had acute and severe hepatitis with submassive necrosis in both portal and lobular areas. The last patient

We previously reported that desmosomes play a key role in the adhesion of corneocytes, and their digestion by two types of serine proteases leads to desquamation. Patients with recessive X-linked ichthyosis show hyperkeratosis attributable to desmosomes, associated with an increased content of cholesterol sulfate (CS) and an increased thickness of stratum corneum. In this study, therefore, we examined the possibility that CS provokes the abnormal desquamation, acting as a protease inhibitor.

Interactions between leukocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of acute liver injury. Various adhesion molecules and chemokines play key roles in these celI-to-celI interactions, and the expression of these adhesion molecules and the production of chemokines are regulated by inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF -a), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interferon-y (IFN-y).

The number of neutrophils that adhered to sinusoidal endothelial cells pretreated with TNF-a also increased in a dose-dependent manner and significantly decreased upon incubation with an anti -ICAM -1 antibody. In endotoxin-induced rat liver injury, the number of neutrophils infiltrating the sinusoids increased after serum TNF -a, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2) and cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC) reached their peak levels. In addition, the level of ICAM-1 expression on sinusoidal endothelial cells greatly increased from 8 h after exposure to endotoxin, and these cells were adhered to neutrophils that expressed both LF A-1 and Mac-l. Moreover, lipo-prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) reduced the extent of liver injury, and also reduced the number of neutrophils that infiltrated the liver, was reduced the production of MIP-2 and CINC, but not that of TNF-a, in rats injected with endotoxin.

A 23-year-old man was admitted to our department due to hemorrhage from gastric varices. He had been diagnosed as having Wilson's disease at the age of 17. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) showed portal thrombosis and a large mass occupying most of the right lobe in the liver. The tumor was diagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by image views and tumor markers. He died 3 months after the diagnosis, and an autopsy was performed. Histologic examination of the tumor

In upper limb surgery, the pneumatic tourniquet is an essential tool to provide a clean, bloodless surgical field, improving visualization of anatomical structures and preventing iatrogenic failure. Optimal inflation pressure to accomplish these objects without injuring normal tissue and inducing complications is not yet established. Use of the minimum tourniquet pressure necessary to produce a bloodless surgical field is preferable in order to prevent injury to normal tissue. Various methods

... ve been implemented in an effort to lower effective cuff pressure. The purpose of this study is to report clinical experience with a new tourniquet system in which pressure is synchronized with systolic blood pressure (SBP) using a vital information monitor. Methods: We routinely used the tourniquet system in 120 consecutive upper limb surgeries performed under general anaesthesia in our operating room instead of our clinic. Cuff pressure was automatically regulated to additional 100 mmHg based on the SBP and was renewed every 2.5 minutes intervals. Results: An excellent bloodless field was obtained in 119 cases, with the exception of one case of a 44-year-old woman who underwent internal screw fixation of metacarpal fracture. No complications, such as compartment syndrome, deep vein disorder, skin disorder, paresis, or nerve damage, occurred during or after surgery. Conclusions: This new tourniquet system, synchronized with SBP, can be varied to correspond with sharp rises or drops in SBP to supply adequate pressure. The system reduces labor needed to deflate and re-inflate to achieve different pressures. It also seemed to contribute to the safety in upper limb surgery, in spite of rare unexpected oozing mid-surgery, by reducing tissue pressure.

A s i a n J o u r n a l o f HUMAN ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to clarify how nursing care staff perceive the user's "individuality" based on their shared view in nursing care practices. The survey with paper questionnaire was conducted among 114 nursing care staff who worked at a care giving facility. As a result, 95 (83.3%) commented they had an experience of using the word, "individuality," 22 (19.3%) commented they provided nursing care with "individuality" all the time, and

... (59.6%) commented sometimes. In addition, we conducted the self-assessment and others-assessment personality test (BigFive short version) among 12 users who were engaged with all 9 nursing care staff in the same team, and then analyzed with Friedman test. As a result, it was clear that nursing care staff had different user perception on four factors, extroversion, openness, sincerity, and harmonicity, whereas they had a common perception on one factor, emotional unstableness. This indicates that it has high potential of providing consistent emotional care; however, it is also considered that they tend to provide care focusing on emotion. individuality, personality, nursing care job, elderly, user kimi31ko@ks.kyorin-u.ac.jp(Kimiko YAMAMOTO; Japan) Asian J Human Services, 2018, 15:52-65.

Antiserum directed to the amphibian bombesin was raised in a guinea pig using the conjugate of N"-glycyl-[1-Glutamine]-bombesin with bovine serum albumin. The major immunologic determinant of this antiserum GP-3303 was shown to reside in the 6-7 sequence of bombesin. Bombesin-like immunoreactivities in gastrointestinal tissue extracts of the pig, dog, monkey, rat and guinea pig were found to be extremely low when measured by the present radioimmunoassay system using antiserum GP-3303.

... e gastrin releasing peptide recently isolated has the same decapeptide sequence as bombesin (5-14) in the C-terminal region except for the amino acid in position 7 of the bombesin molecule. The very low concentrations of bombesin-like immunoreactivity in the mammalian tissue extracts examined in the present study seem to reflect, at least in part, this amino acid substitution in the position corresponding to position 7 of bombesin, since the amino acid is involved in the major immunologic determinant of antiserum GP-3303. The present result also suggests that the bombesin-like immunoreactivity detected in mammalian tissues may be due to a new group of peptides in which the porcine gastrin releasing peptide is included.

... gonadectomy: two XX women (age, 22 and 40 years) and five XY boys (1 year). Two women with ovarian cysts (32 and 40 years) and six boys with autopsy or tumor (1 year) were examined as controls. Immunohistochemical analysis of their gonads was performed to determine steroidogenic cells by NR5A1 or CYP17A1 and macrophages by IBA1 or CD68. Results An increased number of macrophages infiltrated into the ovaries of lipoid CAH and consisted of two subpopulations: one scattered within and around a layer of theca cells of maturing follicles and the other massively aggregated in the stroma. Abundant cytoplasmic lipid droplets were observed not only in the theca cells but also in the stromal macrophages. There was no significant difference in the number of macrophages in the testicular interstitium between lipoid CAH (95% confidence interval (95% CI: 19.3–47.7 per 0.2mm2) and controls (95% CI: 13.3–25.8 per 0.2mm2) (P=0.10). Conclusions These results demonstrate that macrophages infiltrate the ovaries of lipoid CAH, where the theca cells and the stromal macrophages have abundant cytoplasmic lipid droplets.
