1991 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2600i 2dr Extended Cab SB
I bought this truck new in 1991. It now has 233K miles, and until this year, was all original. Other than standard wear (tires, brakes, etc), nothing had been repaired or replaced. It drives great, has been super reliable, and even with 2WD, has been great in off-road type conditions. The manual transmission has been awesome. She's slowing down a bit but still, by far, the best vehicle I've ever owned in the past 30 years. I seriously doubt the Ford Mazdas will even come close.
This is the only vehicle I've ever seen, ANYWHERE, that allows you to have outside air coming in the side vents while running the AC or heat out of the central vents. Best feature that I can't find anywhere else in any make vehicle.
I can't think of a single thing, other than I wish they still made them (in Japan that is, not the Ford Mazda) and maybe it had a tad more horsepower out of the gate. But for 20 years and 233K miles, very satisfied owner.
1991 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2600i 2dr Regular Cab SB
I've owned over 10 Mazda b series trucks ranging from 87-93. I am a master mechanic and know all vehicles very well. These are the best trucks that are avail in the United States. Very tough, simple and run forever with very little maintenance. The only ones to possibly stay away from would be the 87&88 b2600 trucks that have a Mitsubishi sourced engine, that was somewhat problematic in comparison to Mazda built engines. The 4x4 trucks are totally unstoppable. They are tall and light, and go through everything, but being top heavy they are easy to roll. I rolled my 4x4 and flipped it back on all wheels, let it sit for 30 min, then drove away, just a bent fender. They are tough!
Probably not the safest vehicle to be in a collision in over 60 mph, but the technology is right out of 1980. in comparison, to others they are just fine. i was in a head on at 35 mph, i was ok, walked away with a stiff neck. it's no Volvo, but unless you are a frail old woman, you should be fine
1991 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2200 2dr Regular Cab SB
I bought it with 32,000 original miles in Jan.2008 and now have 64,000 (used for light duty service work). Reliability has been outstanding. Very smooth and silent drive line with good ratio spacing. Brakes very good. Engine is long stroke 2.2L FI truck type- max torque at low rpm. Acceleration and sustained hill climbing are only marginal. Interior quality is marginal. MPG is 20 avg. Ride quality is really rough when unloaded.(torsion bar/leaf). Bench seat very uncomfortable.Sun visors to small to be useful.Front bumper and exhaust system from catalyst on back disintegrated from rust (common for B2200)
Simple to service/repair. Relatively low cost replacement parts and operational costs.
Crash survivability is extremely low and severe injury high in this light pickup or similar. (Even at low speed) Keep that in mind when buying any extremely light weight and especially older vehicle.
1991 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2200 2dr Extended Cab SB
I bought this car from the original owner a few yrs ago, needed a cheap truck in a pinch. It never broke down or left me stranded until the engine blew w/ almost 230k miles on the original engine and tranny. It was incredibly reliable although bare bones. Great for a first car or a work truck if you can get one w/ low miles.
None really, bench seats, no ac but I would have driven it anywhere without worrying about it breaking it down.
1991 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2200 2dr Regular Cab LB
This truck may be an eyesore and not that comfortable but this truck will not fail you. I got this truck from my dad who bought it new for orchard use. This truck was used mostly for navigating up and down rough apple, grapes, and cherry orchards and is still in perfect shape engine wise. I strongly believe this trucks body and interior will go before the internal parts i.e., engine, tranny.
Being able to drive the hell out of it and it will still keep going

I used pistachio nuts instead of pecans. They turned out fine, not exceptional though. Easy recipe. I ground all the nuts.flag if inappropriate
I would make these truffles again but next time I will double the recipe. I only got about 7 average-sized truffles this time. The recipe also calls for coursely chopped pecans. Next time I will put course pecans inside but roll them in more finely chopped pecans.flag if inappropriate
Super easy, the truffles look professional and taste great!!flag if inappropriate

Traverse City, Michigan (PRWEB) August 07, 2014
A leading medical marijuana expert and Dr. Marla Gendelman are opening pain management clinics throughout Michigan, including a flagship office in Traverse City, and will focus on non-narcotic therapies that assist people with debilitating medical conditions and chronic illness, the company announced today.
"Liberate420 is devoted to improving quality-of-life for patients suffering from pain," said Daniel J. Reid, Liberate420's founder and chief executive. "All too often, pain management consists solely of prescribed narcotics, which often are not effective. Liberate420 was established to provide patients with alternative, more effective options, including medical marijuana therapy."
Reid co-founded the first medical marijuana business in Illinois under that state's new Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act, which passed in 2013 and went into effect earlier this year. He also formerly headed a national medical marijuana patient advocacy group and earlier held top management positions with global firms in marketing and public affairs.
Dr. Marla Gendelman, a native of Michigan, is returning to her home state from Pittsburgh as Medical Director of Liberate420. She is a board certified anesthesiologist and a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Medicine. Over the past 25 years, Dr. Gendelman has been associated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and also has held teaching positions there and at Drexel University.
Expansion Planned Throughout Michigan, Other States
Reid says Liberate 420 has established another office in Norton Shores to serve West Michigan and has plans for additional facilities in other markets in Michigan."Part of our commitment to serving people in West Michigan is ease-of-access. People with serious illness, chronic pain and debilitating medical conditions

Common Variation in the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO) Gene Confers Risk of Obesity and Modulates BMI in the Chinese Population
ABSTRACT Genetic variants in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been linked with obesity and type 2 diabetes in European populations. We aimed to test the role of FTO genetic variants in obesity and type 2 diabetes in the Chinese population.
We genotyped 19 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning from the 3' end of the neighboring RPGRIP1L gene to the 5' flanking region of the FTO gene. We analyzed their associations with obesity (638 case and 1,610 control subjects), type 2 diabetes (759 case and 784 control subjects), and obesity-related traits in nondiabetic subjects.
Among the 19 SNPs, the rs9939609 A allele was strongly associated with obesity (P = 7.0 x 10(-4)) and BMI (P = 0.0024) in the Chinese population. The odds ratio for obesity was 2.60 (95% CI 1.24-5.46) (P = 0.011) for the AA genotype and 1.32 (1.05-1.66) (P = 0.018) for the AT genotype compared with the TT genotype. Each additional copy of the rs9936609 A allele was associated with a BMI increase of approximately 0.37 kg/m(2). The rs9939609 A allele was substantially less common in the Chinese population than in the European population (12.6 vs. 45%). We did not find significant associations of the 19 SNPs with type 2 diabetes or other obesity-related traits.
Genetic variation in the FTO gene is strongly associated with obesity and BMI in the Chinese population. The risk variant is less common in the Chinese population, but its effect size on BMI is comparable with that in the European population.

- "In our results, the allele A frequency of rs9939609 was 9.5%, which was a little lower than in Chinese Taiwan populations (12.6%) [11]. But the A frequency in Chinese populations was significantly lower than that in European populations (45%) and African American (21%) [17], [20], these results showed there are significant ethnic differences in FTO gene SNP frequency.

Article: Association of FTO Polymorphisms with Obesity and Metabolic Parameters in Han Chinese Adolescents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Previous studies have suggested that fat mass-and obesity-associated (FTO) gene is associated with body mass index (BMI) and the risk of obesity. This study aims to assess the association of five FTO polymorphisms (rs9939609, rs8050136, rs1558902, rs3751812 and rs6499640) with obesity and relative parameters in Han Chinese adolescents. Methods We examined a total of 401 adolescents, 223 normal weights (58.7% boys, 41.3% girls), 178 overweight (60.1% boys, 39.9% girls), aging from 14 to 18-years-old, recruited randomly from public schools in the central region of Wuxi, a southern city of China. DNA samples were genotyped for the five polymorphisms by Sequenom Plex MassARRAY. Association of the FTO polymorphisms with BMI, serum fasting plasm glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FIns), triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC) were investigated. Results 1) Serum FPG, FIns, TG and TC were statistically significant higher than that in normal control group. 2) We found that BMI was higher in the rs9939609 TA+AA, rs8050136 AC+AA, rs1558902 TA+AA and rs3751812 GT+TT genotypes than in wild TT genotypes (rs9939609: P = 0.038; rs1558902: P = 0.038;), CC genotypes(rs8050136: P = 0.024) and GG genotypes (rs3751812: P = 0.024), which were not significant on adjusting for multiple testing. 3) In case-control studies, five polymorphisms were not significantly associated with overweight (p>0.05), haplotype analyses showed non-haplotype is significantly associated with a higher risk of being overweight (p>0.05). 4) There existed no significant statistical difference about FPG, FIns, TG and TC in genotype model for any SNP. Conclusions Our study has conducted a genetic association study of the FTO polymorphisms with BMI, serum fasting plasm glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FIns), triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol (TC). Our study found BMI of subjects with A allele of FTO rs9939609 is higher than that with T allele. Further studies on other polymorphisms from FTO and increasing the sample size are needed.PLoS ONE 06/2014; 9(6):e98984. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0098984 · 3.23 Impact Factor
- "FTO gene confers risk for T2DM in Europeans, with each A allele increasing BMI by approximately 0.4 kg/m2 [100]. However, results have been variable for replication in other ethnic populations such as Hispanics [101], Asians, Oceanics [102] and Blacks [103]. "
Article: Association of genetic polymorphism of PPARγ-2, ACE, MTHFR, FABP-2 and FTO genes in risk prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a non-autoimmune, complex, heterogeneous and polygenic metabolic disease condition characterized by persistent elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia). India as said to be the diabetic capital of the world is likely to experience the largest increase in T2DM and a greater number of diabetic individuals in the world by the year 2030.Identification of specific genetic variations in a particular ethnic group has a critical role in understanding the risk of developing T2DM in a much efficient way in future. These genetic variations include numerous types of polymorphisms among which single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is the most frequent. SNPs are basically located within the regulatory elements of several gene sequences. There are scores of genes interacting with various environmental factors affecting various pathways and sometimes even the whole signalling network that cause diseases like T2DM. This review discusses the biomarkers for early risk prediction of T2DM. Such predictions could be used in order to understand the pathogenesis of T2DM and to better diagnostics, treatment, and eventually prevention.Journal of Biomedical Science 10/2013; 20(1):80. DOI:10.1186/1423-0127-20-80 · 2.76 Impact Factor
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
- "Studies in Korean, Malay, Japanese, Canadians of South Asian origin, and Chinese populations have reported the association of this SNP with BMI and obesity [17–23]. Despite less frequency of risk allele A in Chinese population, its effect on BMI was the same as that in the European population [17]. FTO variant associated strongly with T2D but weakly with obesity in Indians [24]. "
ABSTRACT: Numerous studies confirmed the association of FTO (fat mass and obesity associated gene) common variant, rs9939609, with obesity in European populations. However, studies in Asian populations revealed conflicting results. We examined the association of rs9939609 variant of FTO gene with obesity and obesity-related anthropometric and metabolic parameters in Pakistani population. Body weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, and blood pressure (BP) were measured. BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, leptin, and leptin receptors were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. The results showed association of FTO gene, rs9939609, with obesity in females (>18 years of age). FTO minor allele increased the risk of obesity by 2.8 times (95% CI = 1.3-6.0) in females. This allele showed association with body weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, WHR, BP, plasma FBG levels, HOMA-IR, plasma insulin levels, and plasma leptin levels. In conclusion, FTO gene, rs9939609, is associated with BMI and risk of obesity in adult Pakistani females. Association of rs9939609 variant with higher FBG, plasma insulin, and leptin levels indicates that this polymorphism may disturb the metabolism in adult females and predispose them to obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the above-mentioned findings were not seen in children or males.09/2013; 2013(6778):324093. DOI:10.1155/2013/324093

From a lifetime of working in schools like the fictional Miss Oliver's School for Girls, Stephen Davenport is creating a series of novels in which characters are put under stress in the intense, hermetic, emotionally charged, mission driven and politically complex world of an all-girls boarding school. The setting and the characters are fictions, conflated and adapted from a lived experience. They are real and authentic – and therefore fascinating.
Read on for more info on Steve Davenport's novels...
Good writers and their sophisticated readers know that to tell the story of what happened, you write non-fiction, and to write of what universally happens, you write fiction. Yes, to get at that deeper reality, you make up a compelling story. You tell a lie to get at the truth.

24:19 according to all that Jehoiakim had done. The biblical writer does not tell all of the evil Zedekiah committed during his reign. God's judgment had already been decreed, and Judah was sliding into oblivion (20:17, 18; 21:12–15; 22:16, 17). Further information on Zedekiah's reign can be found in Jer. 21; 24; 27; 29; 32; 37–39; Ezek. 17:11–21.

Joe Paterno will lead the Nittany Lions in his 43rd season as head coach.
July 2, 2008
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., July 2, 2008 - The kick times and television arrangements for the remainder of Penn State's non-conference football schedule have been set bringing the total of Nittany Lion contests in which the kick time and television coverage have been announced to eight on the year. The Big Ten Conference announced times and television arrangements for every home non-conference contest during the first four weekends of the 2008 football season.
Two of the Nittany Lions' four non-conference games will be featured on the Big Ten Network beginning with the season opener on Aug. 30 versus Coastal Carolina. That game will kick at 12:00 p.m. ET in Beaver Stadium and air live on the Network. Penn State's Sept. 20 game versus Temple will also kick at noon ET and be aired live on the Network. Penn State will also make at least one appearance on the Big Ten Network during the eight-game conference schedule.
The Nittany Lions' Sept. 6 Big Ten-Pac-10 showdown with Oregon State in Beaver Stadium will kick at 3:30 p.m. ET and be televised by ABC. It is the second non-conference game that will be carried on ABC. Penn State's Sept. 13 game at Syracuse was previously announced as a 3:30 p.m. ET kick on ABC from the Carrier Dome in Syracuse.
The Nittany Lions have had four conference games previously announced for primetime national TV exposure on either an ABC or ESPN platform. Penn State's contests versus Illinois (Sept. 27), at Wisconsin (Oct. 11) and at Ohio State (Oct. 25) have been set. In addition, Penn State's 89th Homecoming game, against Michigan on Oct. 18, will kick at 4:30 p.m. ET and air on ESPN or ESPN2.
The Big Ten opener with the Illini will kick at 8:00 p.m. ET from Beaver Stadium and air on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. A determination on the network that will air the game may not be made until 12 days before the game.
The Nittany Lions' contest at Wisconsin will kick at 7:00 p.m. CT / 8:00 p.m. ET and air on ESPN or ESPN2.
The clash with the Buckeyes also will kick at 8:00 p.m. ET and air on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. The border rivals will be playing in primetime for the third time in the last four seasons. A determination on the network that will air the game may not be made until 12 days before the game.
Penn State's three primetime games are the most of any Big Ten team for the 2008 season.
The Nittany Lions have long been one of college football's premier programs for television networks. Every Nittany Lion game has been televised the past four seasons and 164 of the last 166 Penn State games overall have been on TV.
All Penn State football games can be heard on the Penn State Sports Network and www.GoPSUsports.com, with selected games available on XM Satellite Radio.
Future Penn State contests may be selected by the networks under the six and 12-day provisions of their contracts with the Big Ten Conference.
In his 43rd season as head coach, Joe Paterno's squad has won 31 of its last 40 games, tied for eighth-best in the nation over that span. Penn State returns 18 starters (8 offense, 8 defense, 2 specialists) from last year's 9-4 squad that defeated Texas A&M in the Valero Alamo Bowl. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 25 in the final USA Today Coaches poll, earning their 33rd Top 25 finish under Paterno.

ABSTRACT: Background Nontuberculous mycobacteria are well known to be a cause of hot tub lung, however, to our knowledge, there exists no case report of humidifier lung induced by mycobacteria. Case presentation A case of a nonimmunocompromised female patient with Mycobacterium gordonae-induced humidifier lung is described. She spontaneously recovered after discontinuing ultrasonic humidifier use. When subjected to a provocation test, she demonstrated acute respiratory distress with signs and symptoms, consistent with hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Before and after the provocation test, water in the humidifier reservoir revealed only Mycobacterium gordonae by the microbiologic analyses. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first report of humidifier lung induced by nontuberculous mycobacteria. Although nontuberculous mycobacteria are well-known to be agents of hot tub lung or metal working fluid lung, physicians should also consider the pathogen as a cause of hypersensitivity lung reaction associated with humidifier use.BMC Pulmonary Medicine 09/2015; 15(1).

Article: A cohort study of mortality predictors in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess clinical, laboratory and radiographic findings associated with outcomes and to clarify more practical ways to predict hospital mortality in patients with acute exacerbation (AE) of chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia (CFIP). Single-centre retrospective cohort study. University Hospital in Japan. We identified 51 consecutive patients with AE of idiopathic CFIP through multidisciplinary discussion. Patients who had connective tissue disease, drug-induced lung disease, pneumoconiosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoidosis, pulmonary histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and eosinophilic pneumonia were excluded. There were no interventions. The main outcome was determination of in-hospital mortality predictors. Other outcomes included clinical, laboratory and radiographic differences between non-survivors and survivors in patients with AE of CFIP. The mean age of the patients with AE of CFIP was 71 years. Compared with survivors, non-survivors had a significantly shorter duration of symptoms before admission, lower prevalence of peripheral distribution of ground-glass opacity and centrilobular emphysema (CLE) on thin-section CT, lower peripheral lymphocyte count, higher brain natriuretic peptide titre, lower Pao2:Fio2 (P:F) ratio, higher prevalence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and higher SIRS score on admission (p=0.0069, 0.0032, 0.015, 0.040, 0.0098, 0.012, 9.9×10(-7) and 5.4×10(-6), respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed SIRS (HR=6.2810, p=0.015), CLE (HR=0.0606, p=3.6×10(-5)) and serum procalcitonin level (HR=2.7110, p=0.022) to be independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. A Kaplan-Meier estimate on the basis of stratification according to the presence or absence of SIRS and CLE demonstrated a distinct survival curve for each subset of patients. Distinct survival curves documented by stratification according to the presence or absence of SIRS and CLE may provide basic information for a rational management strategy for patients with AE of CFIP on admission.BMJ Open 07/2013; 3(7).

ABSTRACT: Background and objective: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a multi-organ disorder that can include the lungs. IgG4-related lung disease can present in various forms; the clinical, radiological and pathological features of patients with this disease have been assessed. Methods: Forty-eight patients suspected of having IgG4-related lung disease, with a high serum concentration of IgG4 and abundant IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration into the intrathoracic organs, were retrospectively evaluated. Their clinical features, chest imaging findings and pathological findings were examined, with final diagnoses made by an open panel conference. Results: Of the 48 patients, 18 with extrathoracic manifestations were diagnosed as having IgG4-related lung disease. Most of these patients were middle-aged to elderly men. IgG4-related lung disease was characterized by high serum concentrations of IgG and IgG4, normal white blood cell count and serum C-reactive protein concentration and a good response to corticosteroids. Common radiological findings included mediastinal lymphadenopathy and thickening of the perilymphatic interstitium, with or without subpleural and/or peribronchovascular consolidation. Pathological examination showed massive lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with fibrosis in and around the lymphatic routes, with distribution well correlated with radiological manifestations. Conclusions: The findings suggest that the intrathoracic manifestations of IgG4-related lung disease develop through lymphatic routes of the lungs and show various clinical characteristics. Because some lymphoproliferative disorders show similar findings, the correlation of clinicoradiological and pathological characteristics is crucial for the diagnosis of IgG4-related lung disease.Respirology 11/2012; 18(3).

Article: Imaging Diagnosis of Interstitial Pneumonia with Emphysema (Combined Pulmonary Fibrosis and Emphysema)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Based on clinical and radiological findings, Cottin defined combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) as pulmonary emphysema in the upper lungs and interstitial pneumonia in the lower lungs with various radiological patterns. Pathologic findings of CPFE probably corresponded with diffuse interstitial pneumonia with pulmonary emphysema, emphysema with fibrosis, and the combination of both. We described reported radiological findings of CPFE.Pulmonary Medicine 02/2012; 2012:816541. DOI:10.1155/2012/816541
Article: Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type IV, Vascular Type, Which Demonstrated a Novel Point Mutation in the COL3A1 Gene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV (EDS type IV), vascular type, an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation of the type III procollagen gene (COL3A1) is the most severe form of EDS and often presents with aortic hemorrhage or organ perforation. This report discusses a male patient with EDS type IV with dyspnea due to hemopneumothorax. He had thin skin and hypermobile joints and was clinically confirmed as having EDS type IV. The diagnosis was genetically confirmed by a mutation c.2528 G>A (p.Gly843Glu) in the COL3A1 gene. The position of the mutation has never been reported.Internal Medicine 01/2010; 49(16):1797-800.

Article: Chronic summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis: clinical similarities to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) eventually ensues to extensive lung fibrosis when exposure to the causative antigen continues. Differential diagnosis from idiopathic interstitial pneumonias is sometimes difficult especially in the advanced stage. To describe the clinical course of chronic summer-type HP, which is the most prevalent type of HP in Japan, in terms of early diagnosis and similarity to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). 14 patients with chronic summer-type HP diagnosed between 2000 and 2005 were reviewed retrospectively. KL-6, a mucin-like glycoprotein, and surfactant protein-D (SP-D) were elevated in most cases. Specific antibodies against Trichosporon asahii (T. asahii) and T. mucoides in sera and BAL fluids were positive in 12 of 14 cases. A lymphocyte proliferation test induced by Trichosporon related antigen was positive in all examined cases (n=5). On high-resolution CT, traction bronchiectasis and honeycombing were observed in more than 70% of cases. By video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and autopsy specimens, honeycombing, fibroblastic foci, centrilobular fibrosis, and bridging fibrosis between bronchiolar and subpleural areas were observed. Antigen avoidance by improving domestic environments kept patients stable without decline in vital capacity (VC). However, 3 of the 4 patients who did not remedy their houses died of respiratory failure after progression of this disease. Correct diagnosis in the early stage is crucial, since chronic summer-type HP can result in a fatal outcome after continuous exposure to the causative antigen.Sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and diffuse lung diseases: official journal of WASOG / World Association of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Disorders 10/2007; 24(2):141-7. · 1.17 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 49-year-old woman was admitted with cough, general fatigue, and dyspnea on effort. Her hobby was the Japanese traditional handicraft of lacquer-carving. She sometimes used smut spores of Ustilago esculenta, pronounced as "Makomozumi"on lacquer ware. The chest radiographs showed diffuse ground-glass opacities and small centrilobular nodules. Bronchoalveolar lavage yielded a marked number of lymphocytes as well as total cell counts and a low CD4 +/CD8 + ratio. The transbronchial lung biopsy specimen revealed lymphocytic alveolitis and non-necrotizing epithelioid cell granulomas. The results of provocation test by Makomozumi were positive. Serum tests of the specific antibody against extracted soluble antigens of smut spores were positive. The peripheral lymphocyte proliferation test, performed with Mokomozumi antigens was also positive. The final diagnosis was hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by smut spores of fungus Ustilago esculenta.05/2007; 45(4):344-8.

ABSTRACT: We studied the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on a three-dimensional (3-D) co-culture model with epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells to clarify how epithelial cells protect lung tissue from cigarette smoke in-vivo. Two types of gels were prepared. The one was the co-culture of human fetal lung fibroblasts (HFL-I) embedded in type-I collagen gel, with alveolar epithelial cells (A549) cultured covering the top of the gel. The other was HFL-I cells alone. After 48 hours from CSE exposure, gel contraction, levels of fibronectin, transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta and GSH were assessed. CSE inhibited fibroblast-mediated gel contraction and this inhibition was lessened in co-culture associated with higher GSH concentration and TGF-beta1 level as compared to the level in HFL-I cells alone. CSE lowered fibronectin level to a lesser extent in co-culture as compared to the level in HFL-I cells alone. Exogenous TGF-beta1 restored the inhibition of gel contraction by CSE independent of GSH level. Cigarette smoke may interfere with 3-D co-culture gel contraction by diminishing GSH, fibronectin and TGF-beta1 action in the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction.Journal of medical and dental sciences 03/2007; 54(1):109-16.

ABSTRACT: People have the opportunity to inhale inorganic dusts under various environments. Inorganic dust exposures as a result of occupational exposure may induce or modulate pulmonary fibrosis. We analyzed the deposition of elements in lung tissues of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and compared element deposition with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (chronic HP) and collagen vascular diseases (CVD). Thirty-five patients (18 men and 17 women with the mean age of 64.3) were studied, including 15 IPF, 8 chronic HP, 6 CVD, and 6 control patients. Four IPF patients have occupational dust exposures. Inorganic particles were counted by polarizing light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy was performed to analyze an elemental deposition. The number of birefringent particles was greater in IPF, even in IPF without occupational exposure, than in controls. The silicon (Si)/sulfur (S) ratio and aluminium (AI)/S ratio were increased in IPF independent of occupational exposure. A point elemental analysis showed that the major compound of the particles was aluminium-silicate in IPF. These results suggest that unrecognized dust exposures are relatively common in some IPF patients and aluminium-silicate could be associated with the disease process of IPF.Journal of medical and dental sciences 03/2007; 54(1):9-16.
Article: Proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms in hypersensitivity pneumonitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically-mediated lung disease caused by repeated inhalation of dispersed antigen. Various cytokines have been reported to be involved in the immunopathogenesis of HP Recently, some reports suggested an association between the genetic control of cytokine production and disease susceptibility. To evaluate whether cytokine gene polymorphisms are associated with HP, we performed a case-control association study involving 61 patients with HP, consisting of summer-type HP (SHP) and bird fancier's lung (BFL, also named bird fancier's disease), as well as 101 healthy controls. Polymorphisms of the genes for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (-308G/A, -857C/T, -863C/A, -1031T/C), interleukin (IL)-10 (-592C/A, -819C/T, -1082G/A), transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 (-509C/T, +869T/C), and IL-6 (-634C/G) were examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. There were no significant differences in allele frequency and genotype distribution among control, SHP, and BFL group. When HP group was divided into acute or chronic, no significant differences were detected between any groups. LPS-stimulated IL-6 secretion by whole blood cells was similar between subjects with GG genotype and non-GG genotype in IL-6 -634C/G polymorphism. In conclusion, the association between HP susceptibility and cytokine polymorphisms studied was not demonstrated.Journal of medical and dental sciences 04/2006; 53(1):75-83.

ABSTRACT: Bird fancier's lung (BFL) is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis induced by the inhalation of bird-related antigens. The BFL induced by feathers is difficult to diagnose because feathers are generally unrecognized as a causative antigen. To determine the clinical features of BFL presumably induced by feather duvets (feather duvet lung) to provide clues for diagnosis. We performed a retrospective review of the medical records of patients with feather duvet lung evaluated between April 1, 2000, and June 30, 2003, at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital in Japan. Seven patients with feather duvet lung were included in this study; 4 patients had acute disease and 3 had chronic BFL. Duration of contact with feather duvets was 1 month to 10 years. Serum KL-6 and surfactant protein D levels were elevated in all the patients. Specific antibodies against avian antigens were positive in acute BFL but negative in chronic BFL. Antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation in peripheral blood or bronchoalveolar lavage cells was positive in all the patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by an environmental or inhalation provocation test. Feather duvets can induce acute and chronic BFL. Physicians should be aware of feather duvets as a cause of BFL because feather duvets are becoming more prevalent.Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology: official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology 02/2006; 96(1):98-104.

Article: The characterization of gefitinib sensitivity and adverse events in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Factors predicting gefitinib sensitivity and adverse events in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain controversial. Correlations among clinicopathological characteristics, gefitinib sensitivity and adverse events were studied in 154 patients with NSCLC, whereas epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations were analyzed in 44 patients. Female, non-smoker, adenocarcinoma of stage I-II, and gefitinib effectiveness correlated with longer time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS), while the rate of interstitial lung disease in patients undergoing thoracic radiotherapy and stomatitis in females or those who never smoked were significantly higher. EGFR mutations were identified in 18 cases, and among 34 gefitinib-treated patients, 16 patients harboring mutations tended to do better, both in terms of TTP and OS. The results of the mutation analysis from surgical and non-surgical specimens were identical. Certain clinicopathological characteristics and EGFR mutations can be either predictive of gefitinib sensitivity or adverse events.Anticancer research 01/2006; 26(6B):4519-25. · 1.83 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Chronic bird fancier's lung (BFL) has often been misdiagnosed as one of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs). To define the clinical and pathological characteristics of chronic BFL, 26 patients with chronic BFL from whom a surgical lung biopsy specimen was taken between October 1992 and June 2001 were evaluated. The histopathological characteristics of the surgical lung biopsy specimens were examined and correlations between the histopathology and clinical characteristics were analysed. The quality of chronic inflammatory and fibrotic changes was expressed according to the 2002 ATS/ERS consensus classification of IIPs. Two patients were diagnosed as having bronchiolitis obliterans organising pneumonia (BOOP)-like lesions, five as having cellular non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)-like lesions, and eight as having fibrotic NSIP-like lesions. The other 11 patients were considered to have usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP)-like lesions because of the temporal heterogeneous appearances of the fibrotic changes. However, fibrosis in these patients had developed in centrilobular as well as perilobular areas, suggestive of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Nineteen patients (73.1%) had multinucleated giant cells, often with cholesterol clefts, while only five patients (19.2%) had granulomas. Patients with BOOP-like or cellular NSIP-like lesions tended to have recurrent acute episodes, whereas patients with UIP-like lesions had an insidious onset. Patients with BOOP-like or cellular NSIP-like lesions had a more favourable outcome than those with fibrotic NSIP-like and UIP-like lesions. The qualities of chronic inflammatory and fibrotic lesions vary significantly among patients with chronic BFL but correlate with clinical features and prognosis.Thorax 09/2005; 60(8):665-71.

Article: Chronic Bird Fancier's Lung Presenting with Acute Exacerbation due to Use of a Feather Duvet[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 67-year-old man was admitted due to fever and exertional dyspnea. He used to raise budgerigars and hill mynahs from 1980 to 1988. He was diagnosed as having chronic bird fancier's lung (BFL) based on a positive peripheral lymphocyte proliferation to pigeon serum in 1994. His disease was stable until 2000. Three months before admission he became a daily user of a feather duvet. A chest CT showed newly-developed peribronchial ground-glass opacities and preexisting honeycombing. Inhalation provocation test was positive. Administration of steroids improved his condition. He has been well after refraining from the use of the feather duvet.Internal Medicine 10/2004; 43(9):835-7. DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.43.835 · 0.90 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of exertional dyspnea in January 2003. He had first noticed slight exertional dypnea in 1997, which had since gradually progressed. He has been a dentist since the age of 23. Chest radiography demonstrated bilateral reticular shadows, infiltrates, and thickened pleural adhesion, which had progressed for one year and five months. Chest CT scans disclosed irregular peribronchial opacities, centrilobular nodules, and interlobular septal lines. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed an increase in total cells and lymphocytosis with an increased CD 4/CD 8 ratio. Transbronchial lung biopsy demonstrated fibrosis around bronchioles, involving adjacent alveolar structures and scattered birefringent particles under polarized light. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) of the small particles around the bronchioles using electron microscopy showed high peaks for silicon (Si) and aluminium (Al). Pneumoconiosis, possibly induced by some of the mechanical and technical procedures of dentistry, was diagnosed.07/2004; 42(6):528-32.

ABSTRACT: A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital. He had first noticed a cough, sputum production, and low-grade fever during the summer of 1988. He was diagnosed as having summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in 1989 on the basis of positive findings of anti-Trichosporon antibodies in the serum and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and and in environmental provocation tests. Thereafter, he presented with re-exacerbation of his disease in summer every year. In 1995, he retired from his work at a moldy hotel and moved to another house to avoid the causative antigen completely. There was no recurrence for the following 5 years. He suffered from cough, sputum production, and dyspnea 4 months after returning to his previous moldy house in October, 2000. A chest CT scan showed peribronchial and subpleural honeycombing, ground glass opacities, and traction bronchiectasis. BAL demonstrated that the lymphocyte count had changed from 78.9% to 42.9% and the CD4/CD8 ratio from 0.39 to 4.07 in 12 years. Antigen avoidance and steroid therapy have improved his condition. However, he stayed repeatedly in his moldy house, and finally died from acute exacerbation in March, 2002. Postmortem examination demonstrated diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) superimposed on honeycombing in the lungs.05/2004; 42(4):347-52.

ABSTRACT: A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of cough and low-grade fever for 2 months and shortness of breath for 2 weeks. She had raised two budgerigars for the last 15 years and had been using a feather duvet for one year. A chest radiograph showed diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lung fields, and a chest CT scan showed centrilobular micronodules and ground-glass opacities. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) revealed a marked increase in lymphocytes, and a transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) specimen showed alveolitis due to the infiltration of mononuclear cells. Since she had specific antibodies against pigeon and budgerigar dropping extracts and her peripheral blood lymphocytes proliferated on addition of pigeon serum, she was diagnosed as having bird fancier's lung (BFL). She was treated with steroids, which brought about a marked improvement. After she visited her husband who had been hospitalized where a feather duvet was provided for each patient, both subjective and objective findings deteriorated. This deterioration was preventable when she wore a protective mask for micro-dust while visiting her husband. The feather duvets seemed to induce acute BFL in this case, though raising budgerigars may well be related to her sensitization with bird-related antigens.09/2003; 41(8):569-72.
Article: TA-19, a Novel Protein Antigen of Trichosporon asahii , in Summer-type Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The most common form of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in Japan is summer-type hypersensitivity pneumonitis (SHP), which is caused by the inhalation of Trichosporon asahii or Trichosporon mucoides. To seek protein antigens relevant to the immunopathogenesis of SHP, we constructed a cDNA expression library of T. asahii, a major causative yeast species of SHP. Using the immunoscreening method, we identified and cloned a novel gene encoding a 19-kD protein, named TA-19, which proved to be specifically recognized in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids and sera of patients with SHP. IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies to the recombinant TA-19 protein were significantly elevated in the sera as well as in the BAL fluids from SHP patients compared with those from non-SHP groups. This protein also induced SHP-specific proliferation of the mononuclear cells from both the peripheral blood and BAL. These results reveal that TA-19 derived from T. asahii may play a relevant role in specific cellular and humoral immune responses in patients with SHP.American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine 05/2003; 167(7):991-8.
