Shigeto Kobayashi, Takashi Hashimoto

In various stock markets, there is a system called “circuit breakers ” that interrupts dealing of stocks for a certain period when stock price changes greatly. In this paper, we consider the...

Focused Microarray Analysis of Peripheral Mononuclear Blood Cells from Churg-Strauss Syndrome Patients (2008)

Tougan, Takahiro, Onda, Hiroaki, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Kobayashi, Shigeto, Hashimoto, Hiroshi, Nojima, Hiroshi

DNA diagnostics are useful but are hampered by difficult ethical issues. Moreover, it cannot provide enough information on the environmental factors that are important for pathogenesis of certain...

Expression Profiling of PBMC-based Diagnostic Gene Markers Isolated from Vasculitis Patients (2008)

Kobayashi, Shigeto, Ito, Akihiko, Okuzaki, Daisuke, Onda, Hiroaki, Yabuta, Norikazu, Nagamori, Ippei, ...

Vasculitis (angiitis) is a systemic autoimmune disease that often causes fatal symptoms. We aimed to isolate cDNA markers that would be useful for diagnosing not only vasculitis but also other...

Watts, Richard A., Scott, David G. I., Jayne, David R. W., Ito-Ihara, Toshiko, Muso, Eri, Fujimoto, Shouichi, ...

Background. The epidemiology of renal vasculitis in different populations is poorly understood. A recent study from Japan suggests that whilst the overall incidence is similar to that reported from...

The soluble CD40 ligand sCD154 in systemic lupus erythematosus

Kato, Kazunori, Santana-Sahagún, Ernesto, Rassenti, Laura Z., Weisman, Michael H., Tamura, Naoto, Kobayashi, Shigeto, ...

We found that the plasma of patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) could induce a human B-cell line (Ramos) to express high levels of immune accessory molecules that are commonly...
