Cerebral disorders are often associated with disturbance of consciousness. Since the latter could alter the prognosis of physical function, early improvement of consciousness level is important. The present study tested the hypothesis that sitting position improves disturbances of consciousness in patients with cerebral disorders. The subjects were 17 patients with cerebral disorders and disturbances of consciousness. The consciousness level was evaluated in supine position and following a change to sitting position. The consciousness level was evaluated by the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). The total, eye opening, and motor GCS scores were significantly higher in the sitting position compared with the supine position. In conclusions, changing from supine to sitting position improves consciousness level in patients with cerebral disorders.

Function Assessment for Rheumatoid Thumb Deformity

引用

Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases 2015年第3期5卷 92-96页

作者： Ryo Oda Daigo Taniguchi hiroyoshi fujiwara Shogo Toyama Daisaku Tokunaga Toshikazu Kubo Department of Orthopaedics Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto Japan

Objective: Nalebuff’s type I deformity of the rheumatoid thumb, which is the most common thumb deformity with rheumatoid arthritis, can be classified into three stages according to the range of motion of the thumb. However, a functional assessment for each stage has never been undertaken. Methods: The ranges of motion of the thumb metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints were evaluated to determine Nalebuff’s clinical stage, and both the Modified Kapandji Index (MKI) and the simple test for evaluating hand function (STEF) were used to evaluate hand function in 32 rheumatoid arthritis patients with type I deformity. We assessed hand function in each stage, and examined the relationship between the three clinical stages and dysfunction of the hand. Results: The scores for both MKI and STEF were significantly reduced in parallel with advancing stage of thumb deformity. Conclusion: Nalebuff’s staging system is also useful for reflecting the level of thumb function.

Establishing a Calculation Method for Estimating the Normal Circumference of the Proximal Interphalangeal Finger Joints

引用

Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases 2017年第4期7卷 186-195页

作者： Satoru Nakamura Daisaku Tokunaga Ryo Oda Daigo Taniguchi Shogo Toyama Maki Asada hiroyoshi fujiwara Yutaka Kawahito Takahiro Seno Toshikazu Kubo Department of Orthopaedics Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto Japan Department of Inflammation and Immunology Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto Japan

Objective: To estimate the normal circumference of the interphalangeal (IP) thumb joint and the proximal IP (PIP) joints from the index finger to the little finger using individual physical parameters such as body height and body weight. Methods: The maximum size on the ring gauge was recorded which caused resistance when the IP joint of the thumb or PIP joints of the index to small fingers were passed through the gauge. RG was defined as the ring gauge number with the same diameter as the circumference of the IP thumb joint and PIP finger joints from the index finger to the little finger. There were 300 healthy subjects and 600 hands. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the relationships between RG and the parameters of age, sex, height, weight, and dominant hand, and regression equations were derived. Results: Age, sex and body weight were all statistically significant predictive factors of RG in all fingers. R2, the coefficient of determination in the regression equation, was almost 0.7 for all fingers, indicating that a moderate or strong correlation was observed between RG and the regression equation. Conclusions: The circumference of the IP thumb joint and PIP finger joints from the index finger to the little finger can be estimated in healthy individuals using a calculation formula that takes age, sex, body height and body weight into account.

Efficacy of MRP8/14 as a Marker of Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

引用

Open Journal of Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases 2016年第2期6卷 34-39页

作者： Tetsuro Yamasaki Ryo Oda Kan Imai Daigo Taniguchi Shogo Toyama Takahiro Seno Yuji Arai Kazuya Ikoma hiroyoshi fujiwara Daisaku Tokunaga Yutaka Kawahito Toshikazu Kubo Department of Orthopaedics Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto Japan Department of Inflammation and Immunology Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto Japan

Objective: Early and accurate evaluation of the presence and activity of synovitis is extremely important in the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Myeloid related protein 8/14 (MRP8/14), also known as calprotectin or S100A8/A9 is considered as a sensitive marker for local inflammatory activity in rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of MRP8/14 as a marker of disease activity in RA. Methods: Thirty-one patients with diagnosis of RA who received treatment without biological drugs at our institution were included in this study. Serum MRP8/14, CRP and MMP-3 were tested in all patients. Disease activity was evaluated using DAS28-CRP and SDAI. Ultrasonography was performed on the wrists and MCP joints of both hands using semi-quantitative scale of power Doppler signal. The sum of scales in joints was calculated as the PD score. The correlation of MRP8/14 with serum biomarkers, disease activity and ultrasonography examination was investigated. Result: Serum MRP8/14 was strongly correlated with CRP (r = 0.63) and MMP-3 (r = 0.69). A correlation was observed between serum MRP8/14 and DAS28-CRP (r = 0.53) and SDAI (r = 0.66). No significant correlation was found between PD scores and MRP8/14. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that MRP8/14 is correlated with evaluated disease activity and markers of serum inflammatory response in patients not using biological drugs. MRP8/14 is considered an effective new method for objective evaluation of synovitis in RA.
