        Bio-Molecular Markers for Cardiovascular Disease:Significance of Natriuretic Peptides and Adrenomedullin

        Takeshi Horio,Yuhei Kawano 대한심장학회 2008 Korean Circulation Journal Vol.38 No.10

        There are many established and proposed bio-molecular markers for cardiovascular disease, including vasoactive substances, substances related to inflammation and oxidative stress, and substances involved in tissue structure and remodeling. Among these substances, we focused on natriuretic peptides and adrenomedullin (AM) as clinically useful bio-molecular markers in this review. Three natriuretic peptides-atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)-play various important roles in the cardiovascular system. ANP and BNP are released from the heart and exist primarily as circulating hormones. They participate in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid levels. Plasma levels of ANP and BNP are increased in various pathological conditions such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, and hypertension with cardiac hypertrophy. BNP is now essential as a biochemical marker in managing patients with cardiovascular disease. CNP is mainly produced in vascular endothelium. It contributes to smooth muscle relaxation and growth inhibition as a local hormone, but it is also synthesized in cardiac fibroblasts and inhibits fibroblast proliferation and myocyte growth. However, the significance of plasma CNP levels remains to be elucidated. AM is widely distributed in various organs and tissues, including the cardiovascular system. Not only it is a potent vasodilator peptide, but it also has protective effects against vascular and cardiac cell injury and excessive growth. Plasma AM levels are increased in several cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and atherosclerotic disease, and AM appears to be a predictive and prognostic marker in the setting of cardiovascular disease.

        Impact of average photon-energy coefficient of solar spectrum on the short circuit current of photovoltaic modules

        Yuhei Horio,Mijanur Rahman,Yurei Imai,Yoshihiro Hishikawa,Takashi Minemoto 한국물리학회 2017 Current Applied Physics Vol.17 No.10

        The output energy of photovoltaic (PV) modules is influenced by the spectral irradiance distribution of the solar spectrum under outdoor conditions. To rate the precise output energy of PV modules, the correction of short circuit current (ISC) based on actual environmental conditions is needed, because ISC significantly depends on the shape of the spectral irradiance distribution. The average photon energy (APE) is a zero-dimensional index for spectral irradiance distribution, and APE value uniquely describes the shape of a solar spectrum. Thus, APE has an impact on ISC of PV modules. In this contribution, the relationship between APE coefficient and ISC of the multi-crystalline silicon, single-crystalline silicon, heterojunction intrinsic thin-layer, back contact, copper indium selenide and cadmium telluride PV modules has explored. It is revealed that APE value changes the ISC of PV modules which appeared to have immense possibilities of ISC correction using APE coefficient. This new approach can be very effective for precise rating the output energy of PV modules under actual outdoor conditions.

      • Inhibition of Langerhans cell function by UVB radiation

        Okamoto, Hiroyuki,Mizuno, Kana,Horio, Takeshi Korean Society of Photoscience 2002 Journal of Photosciences Vol.9 No.2

        The functional disruption of Langerhans cells (LC) by UVB radiation is involved in antigen-specific immunosuppression of contact hypersensitivity. We tested whether UVB radiation inhibits the endocytotic activity of LC, which leads to impaired subsequent migration and maturation. Human monocyte-derived LC that took up lucifer yellow (L Y) or FITC-dextran (Fd) exclusively migrated in response to 6Ckine and matured. Exposing LC to 10-40 mJ/cm$^2$ of UVB radiation reduced their endocytotic activity in fluid phase pinocytosis (measured by uptake of LY) and in receptor-mediated endocytosis (measured by uptake of Fd). Membrane ruffling and CD32 expression were also suppressed by UVB radiation. UVB-irradiated, endocytosing LC had less movement towards 6Ckine, expressed less CD54 and CD86, and had less effective stimulatory activity in allo-MLR than nonirradiated, endocytosing LC. Endocytosis up-regulated TNF-$\alpha$ production by LC, but prior UVB radiation inhibited this enhancement. The finding that impaired endocytosis of LC by UVB radiation inhibits subsequent migration and maturation was also confirmed in murine epidermal cells obtained from unirradiated and 2OmJ/cm$^2$ of UVB-irradiated skin.

        Effects of Cilostazol on Dizocilpine-induced Hyperlocomotion and Prepulse Inhibition Deficits in Mice

        갠지하시모토,Yuko Fujita,Mao Horio,Hiroko Hagiwara,Yuko Tanibuchi,Masaomi Iyo 대한정신약물학회 2010 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.8 No.2

        This study was undertaken to examine the effects of cilostazol, a selective inhibitor of type III phosphodiesterase (PDE), on hyperlocomotion and prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits in mice after a single administration of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)receptor antagonist dizocilpine. A single oral administration of cilostazol (0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg) significantly attenuated hyperlocomotion and PPI deficits in mice after the administration of dizocilpine (0.1 mg/kg, subcutaneously). This study suggests that cilostazol may have antipsychotic activity in animal models of schizophrenia. Therefore, cilostazol may be a potential therapeutic drug for schizophrenia, given that cilostazol has been safely used throughout the world.

        Surgery for Pulmonary Fungal Infections Complicating Hematological Malignancies

        Takashi Yamamichi, M.D.,Hirotoshi Horio,Ayaka Asakawa,Masayuki Okui,Masahiko Harada 대한흉부외과학회 2018 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.51 No.5

        Background: The complication rate of fungal disease is higher among patients with hematological malignancies. We investigated the clinicobacteriological outcomes of resected pulmonary fungal infections complicating hematological malignancies. Methods: Between 2001 and 2017, 21 patients with pulmonary fungal infections complicating hematological malignancies underwent resection, and their clinical records and survival were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The median age of the patients was 47 years, and 13 were male. The histological diagnoses were pulmonary aspergillosis (19 cases), mucormycosis (1 case), and cryptococcosis (1 case). The indications for surgery were resistance to antifungal therapy and the necessity of surgery before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in 13 and 8 cases, respectively. The diagnoses of the hematological malignancies were acute myelogenous leukemia (10 cases), acute lymphocytic leukemia (5 cases), myelodysplastic syndrome (3 cases), and chronic myelogenous leukemia, malignant lymphoma, and extramedullary plasmacytoma (1 case each). The surgical procedures were partial resection (11 cases), segmentectomy (5 cases), lobectomy (4 cases), and cavernostomy (1 case). The size of the lesions was 0.9–8.5 cm. Fourteen cases had cavitation. There were no surgical-related deaths or fungal progression. Conclusion: Pulmonary fungal infections are resistant to treatments for hematological malignancies. Since the treatment of the underlying disease is extended and these infections often recur and are exacerbated, surgery should be considered when possible.

        Effects of Quetiapine on Dizocilpine-induced Prepulse Inhibition Deficits in Mice: Possible Role of the aα1 Adrenergic Receptor

        Yuko Tanibuchi,Yuko Fujita,Mao Horio,Masaomi Iyo,갠지하시모토 대한정신약물학회 2010 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.8 No.3

        Objective: Accumulating evidence suggests that α1-adrenoceptors are involved in the mechanisms of action of some antipsychotic drugs. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug with antagonist activity at α1-adrenoceptors, on prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits in mice after a single administration of the NMDA receptor antagonist dizocilpine. Methods: Effects of quetiapine on dizocilpine-induced PPI deficits in mice were examined. Furthermore, we examined the role of α1-adrenoceptors in the mechanisms of action of quetiapine. Results: Pretreatment with quetiapine (3, 10, or 30 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly attenuated dizocilpine (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.)-induced PPI deficits in mice in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, dizocilpine-induced PPI deficits were also significantly ameliorated by pretreatment with the selective α1-adrenoceptor antagonist prazosin (1.0 mg/kg, p.o.). Conclusion: These findings suggest that quetiapine ameliorates dizocilpine-induced PPI deficits in mice viaα1-adrenoceptor antagonism, and hence, α1-adrenoceptor antagonism may play a prominent role in quetiapine’s psychopharmacological effects.
