Effects of Oral Branched-Chain Amino Acid Granules on Event-Free Survival in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis
Yasutoshi Muto,Shunichi Sato,Akiharu Watanabe,Hisataka Moriwaki,Kazuyuki Suzuki,Akinobu Kato,Masahiko Kato,Teiji Nakamura,Kiyohiro Higuchi,Shuhei Nishiguchi,Hiromitsu Kumada +10 more
TL;DR: Oral supplementation with a BCAA preparation that can be administered for a long period improves event-free survival, serum albumin concentration, and QOL in patients with decompensated cirrhosis with an adequate daily food intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B virus strains with mutations in the core promoter in patients with fulminant hepatitis.
Shunichi Sato,Kazuyuki Suzuki,Yoshihiro Akahane,Koichi Akamatsu,Kenji Akiyama,Kazuhiro Yunomura,Fumio Tsuda,Takeshi Tanaka,Hiroaki Okamoto,Yuzo Miyakawa,Makoto Mayumi +10 more
TL;DR: The results indicated a close association between fulminant hepatitis and HBV strains that do not produce H beAg because of either mutations in the precore region that abort the translation of HBeAg or mutations inThe core promoter that affect transcription of the HBe Ag precursor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphyletic Strains of Hepatitis E Virus Are Responsible for Sporadic Cases of Acute Hepatitis in Japan
Hitoshi Mizuo,Kazuyuki Suzuki,Yasuhiro Takikawa,Yoshiki Sugai,Hajime Tokita,Yoshihiro Akahane,Keiichi Itoh,Yuhko Gotanda,Masaharu Takahashi,Tsutomu Nishizawa,Hiroaki Okamoto +10 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that multiple genotypes of HEV cocirculate in Japan and contribute to the development of sporadic acute hepatitis, with the prevalence differing by age, sex, and geographic region.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shigeru Nakai,Yuzo Watanabe,Ikuto Masakane,Atsushi Wada,Tetsuo Shoji,Takeshi Hasegawa,Hidetomo Nakamoto,Kunihiro Yamagata,Junichiro James Kazama,Naohiko Fujii,Noritomo Itami,Toshio Shinoda,Takashi Shigematsu,Seiji Marubayashi,Osamu Morita,Seiji Hashimoto,Kazuyuki Suzuki,Naoki Kimata,Norio Hanafusa,Kenji Wakai,Takayuki Hamano,Satoshi Ogata,Kenji Tsuchida,Masatomo Taniguchi,Hiroshi Nishi,Kunitoshi Iseki,Yoshiharu Tsubakihara +26 more
TL;DR: A nationwide statistical survey of 4255 dialysis facilities was conducted at the end of 2011 and the results included questions related to the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred on 11 March 2011.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atsushi Ozasa,Yasuhito Tanaka,Etsuro Orito,Masaya Sugiyama,Jong-Hon Kang,Shuhei Hige,Tomoyuki Kuramitsu,Kazuyuki Suzuki,Eiji Tanaka,Shunichi Okada,Hajime Tokita,Yasuhiro Asahina,Kazuaki Inoue,Shinichi Kakumu,Takeshi Okanoue,Yoshikazu Murawaki,Keisuke Hino,Morikazu Onji,Hiroshi Yatsuhashi,Hiroshi Sakugawa,Yuzo Miyakawa,Ryuzo Ueda,Masashi Mizokami +22 more
TL;DR: The outcome of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is variable, influenced by host and viral factors, and fulminant hepatitis was frequent and associated with Bj and lack of HBeAg as well as high replication due to precore mutation in patients with acute HBV infection.
