Significance of Serum Leucine-rich Alpha-2 Glycoprotein as a Diagnostic Marker in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Kobe J Med Sci. 2024 Jan 24;69(4):E122-E128. doi: 10.24546/0100486228.ABSTRACTSerum leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) has been utilized for adult inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, its efficacy in pediatric IBD remains unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of serum LRG for pediatric IBD with that of current inflammatory markers, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). This retrospective case-control study included pediatric patients, aged <16 years, who underwent colonoscopy and/or esophagogastroduodenoscopy between April 2017 and March 2022. All e...

Expression of EGFR and p16 in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of External Auditory Canal
Kobe J Med Sci. 2024 Jan 31;69(4):E144-E150. doi: 10.24546/0100486232.ABSTRACTThe expression of EGFR and p16 in the external auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma (EACSCC) and their impacts on oncological outcomes were not well studied. Seventeen-one consecutive patients who were treated for EACSCC at Kobe University Hospital from 1995 to 2018 were enrolled in this study. The expression of EGFR, and p16 were evaluated and their impacts on oncological outcomes were statistically analyzed. Positive expression of EGFR was observed in 62 patients (87%). Strong positive expression of p16 were observed in 18 patients (32.4%), a...

The Impact of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis on Cephalometric Measurements in Infants with Pierre Robin Sequence
CONCLUSIONS: The use of cephalometric measurement is a potent approach that provides a clear and measurable understanding of how MDO influences both immediate and long-term growth of the mandible. This quantitative assessment of the effects of mandibular distraction allows for the refinement of surgical techniques and the optimization of outcomes. Therefore, incorporating cephalometric measurements in the evaluation of patients undergoing MDO can lead to better surgical planning and more favorable results.PMID:38018222 | PMC:PMC10695098 | DOI:10.24546/0100485259 (Source: Kobe J Med Sci)

The Outcome of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in Infants with Severe Pierre Robin Sequence in Vietnam
Kobe J Med Sci. 2023 Nov 16;69(3):E115-E121. doi: 10.24546/0100485260.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to provide the experience of a single center with mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS) patients. A longitudinal research analysis was conducted to identify PRS patients who underwent MDO at Vietnam National Children's Hospital between 2019 and 2021. The following criteria were used to determine inclusion: 1) those pediatric patients with PRS who were not well handled with conservative therapy, 2) those who received MDO with internal mandibular distractors, and 3) no previous treatm...
