Propagermanium Reduces Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice via Inhibition of Macrophage Infiltration
Tomoya Yamashita,Seinosuke Kawashima,Masanori Ozaki,Masayuki Namiki,Nobutaka Inoue,Ken-ichi Hirata,Mitsuhiro Yokoyama +6 more
TL;DR: Inhibition of macrophage infiltration by propagermanium prevented the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in apoE-KO mice, suggesting this drug may serve as a therapeutic tool for the treatment of Atherosclerosis.
Kounis syndrome leading to triple-vessel coronary artery ischaemia due to simultaneous coronary spasm, plaque erosion, and multiple stent thrombosis: a case report
TL;DR: This case documented the clinical course of KS caused by LMWD, wherein all KS variants occurred sequentially in all coronary arteries, resulting in triple-vessel coronary artery ischaemia.

Masato Ogawa,Seimi Satomi-Kobayashi,Naofumi Yoshida,Kodai Komaki,Kazuhiro P. Izawa,Mari Hamaguchi,Takashi Inoue,Yoshitada Sakai,Ken-ichi Hirata,Kenji Okada +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the effect of pre-operative frailty status on postextubation dysphagia (PED) and impact of post-operative complications on postoperative complications was investigated.
Effect of daily glucose fluctuation on coronary plaque vulnerability in patients pre-treated with lipid-lowering therapy: A prospective observational study
Masaru Kuroda,Toshiro Shinke,Kazuhiko Sakaguchi,Hiromasa Otake,Tomofumi Takaya,Yushi Hirota,Daisuke Sugiyama,Masayuki Nakagawa,Hirotoshi Hariki,Takeshi Inoue,Tsuyoshi Osue,Yu Taniguchi,Masamichi Iwasaki,Ryo Nishio,Hiroto Kinutani,Akihide Konishi,Noritoshi Hiranuma,Hachidai Takahashi,Daisuke Terashita,Ken-ichi Hirata +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of daily glucose fluctuation on coronary plaque properties in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) pre-treated with lipid-lowering therapy was investigated.
Impact of stent platform of paclitaxel-eluting stents: assessment of neointimal distribution on optical coherence tomography.
Hiromasa Otake,Junya Shite,Toshiro Shinke,Naoki Miyoshi,Amane Kozuki,Hiroyuki Kawamori,Masayuki Nakagawa,Ryoji Nagoshi,Hirotoshi Hariki,Takumi Inoue,Tsuyoshi Osue,Yu Taniguchi,Noritoshi Hiranuma,Ryo Nishio,Hiroto Kinutani,Ken-ichi Hirata +15 more
TL;DR: Stent design and thickness appeared to affect neointima suppression of PES, and the stent platform of the Liberté-PES may offer greater and more homogeneous reduction of neointimal proliferation spatially across the full length of the PES.
