OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of arteriosclerosis obliterans in lower extremity and its influence factors in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis.
METHODS
In this single center cross-sectional study, 74 with diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis were recruited. The general
Lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolic parameters, such as triglycerides, total and alpha-cholesterol, total protein and albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose and the activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, total lactate dehydrogenase and creatine
The most characteristic pathophysiologic change in Buerger's disease or thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is considered the breakdown of microcirculation in the extremity, but this has not yet been proven. The purpose of this study is to examine the damage of microcirculation in TAO objectively, by
We found two heterozygous dysfibrinogenemias, designated fibrinogen Kosai and fibrinogen Ogasa. Kosai was associated with arteriosclerosis obliterans but Ogasa showed no bleeding or thrombotic tendencies. The plasma fibrinogen concentrations from the two propositi (Ogasa and Kosai) were much lower
OBJECTIVE
The visual outcome after vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is often poor. Bilateral vitrectomy has been especially associated with a poor visual prognosis in patients with PDR. The authors investigated the systemic risk factors for PDR requiring bilateral vitrectomy
One hundred thirty-one limbs of 109 patients who underwent femoropopliteal artery by-pass were studied for postoperative saphenous neuralgia and limb edema. The following factors were analyzed: age, sex, underlying disease (arteriosclerosis obliterans or Buerger's disease), grade of symptoms
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived cytokine that was identified in a human adipose tissue cDNA library. Serum adiponectin levels are found to be reduced in various pathological states Several case studies have reported a possible drug interaction between warfarin and tramadol where tramadol coadministration enhanced the antithrombotic effects of warfarin. To assess this drug interaction, changes in prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) before and after tramadol
OBJECTIVE
Sarpogrelate has been shown to reduce albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy. For examination of whether this is based on the same mechanisms as angiotensin II receptor blockers or thiazolidinedione, effects of sarpogrelate on atherosclerotic inflammatory molecules and their relations to
