Infective endocarditis (IE) is a highly fatal disease in cases of delayed diagnosis and treatment, although its incidence is low. However, there have been few single-center studies in which the risk of in-hospital death from IE was stratified according to laboratory findings on admission and the organism responsible for IE. In this study, a total of 162 patients who were admitted to our hospital during the period from 2009 to 2021, who were suspected of having IE according to the modified Duke classification, and for whom IE was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography were retrospectively analyzed...

BACKGROUND: Novel biomarkers (BMs) are urgently needed for bronchial asthma (BA) with various phenotypes and endotypes. OBJECTIVE: We sought to identify novel BMs reflecting tissue pathology from serum extracellular vesicles (EVs). METHODS: We performed data-independent acquisition of serum EVs from 4 healthy controls, 4 noneosinophilic asthma (NEA) patients, and 4 eosinophilic asthma (EA) patients to identify novel BMs for BA. We confirmed EA-specific BMs via data-independent acquisition validation in 61 BA patients and 23 controls...

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a condition characterized by acute multi-system vasculitis and high fever in infants and children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the established therapeutic approach of KD,foralleviating inflammation and mitigate the risk of arterial wall dilation and the development of coronary artery aneurysms (CAA). But almost 20% of the patients developed resistance to IVIG and displayed persistent fever after standard primary treatment. TSPAN5 , belonging to the Tetraspanin family, has been demonstrated to modulate innate immunity in a range of human diseases...

BACKGROUND: Vasculitis diseases include Kawasaki disease (KD), Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS), Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS), Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HS), or IgA vasculitis, and additional vasculitis diseases. These diseases are often preceded by infections or immunizations. Disease incidence rates are higher in children than in adults. These diseases have been extensively studied, but understanding of the disease etiology remains to be established. OBJECTIVE: Many studies have failed to demonstrate an association between vasculitis diseases and vaccination; this study examines possible associations...

Although intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-resistant Kawasaki disease (KD) presents with persistent inflammatory stimulation of the blood vessels and an increased risk of coronary artery dilatation. However, the pathogenesis of this disease is unclear, with no established biomarkers to predict its occurrence. This study intends to explore the utility of S100A12/TLR2-related signaling molecules and clinical indicators in the predictive modeling of IVIG-resistant KD. The subjects were classified according to IVIG treatment response: 206 patients in an IVIG-sensitive KD group and 49 in an IVIG-resistant KD group...

BACKGROUND: This study examined the effects of animal protein- and plant protein-rich diets on postprandial phosphorus metabolism in healthy male subjects. METHODS: The study was conducted by randomised parallel-group comparison of healthy men aged 21-24 years. In Study 1, participants were divided into two groups and consumed either a 70% animal protein diet (AD, n = 6) or a 70% plant protein diet (PD, n = 6). In Study 2, participants were divided into three groups and consumed either AD (n = 10), PD (n = 10) or AD + DF, a 70% animal protein diet loaded with the same amount of fibre as PD (n = 9)...

Telomeres are important to chromosomal stability, and changes in their length correlate with disease, potentially relevant to brain disorders. Assessing telomere length in human brain is invasive, but whether peripheral tissue telomere length correlates with that in brain is not known. Saliva, buccal, blood, and brain samples were collected at time points before, during, and after subjects undergoing neurosurgery ( n = 35) for intractable epilepsy. DNA was isolated from samples and average telomere length assessed by qPCR...

Accessible luminal interface of bovine rectal organoids generated from cryopreserved biopsy tissues.
Minae Kawasaki, Yoko M Ambrosini
Developing precise species-specific in vitro models that closely resemble in vivo intestinal tissues is essential for advancing our understanding of gastrointestinal physiology and associated diseases. This is especially crucial in examining host-pathogen interactions, particularly in bovines, a known reservoir for microbes and pathogens posing substantial public health threats. This research investigated the viability of producing bovine rectal organoids from cryopreserved tissues. We compared two cryopreservation methods with a traditional technique using fresh tissues, evaluating their effectiveness through growth rates, long-term viability, and comprehensive structural, cellular, and genetic analyses...

BACKGROUND: Periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA syndrome), and Kawasaki disease (KD) are both considered to be disorders of the innate immune system, and the potential role of inflammasome activation in the immunopathogenesis of both diseases has been previously described. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report the clinical courses of three patients who presented a rare combination of PFAPA syndrome and KD. Two patients who presented KD later developed the PFAPA syndrome, of whom one developed recurrent KD 2 years after the initial diagnosis...
