Many physicians (actual number of physicians, full-time equivalent number of physicians) served in the southeastern region of the Okayama prefecture (339, 82.2). On the other hand, fewer physicians (42, 11.4) served in Takahashi・Niimi in the northwestern region of Okayama. Many physicians also served in Hiroshima prefecture (193, 48.8), Hyogo prefecture (109, 26.7), and the four prefectures of Shikoku Island (81, 23.6). 　It has been clarified that many physicians at Okayama University are working on a part-time basis to support local and community medical institutions in the wide area of Okayama prefecture, Hiroshima prefecture, Hyogo prefecture and the four prefectures of Shikoku Island. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TeshigawaraSanae en-aut-sei=Teshigawara en-aut-mei=Sanae kn-aut-name=勅使川早苗 kn-aut-sei=勅使川 kn-aut-mei=早苗 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwaseToshihide en-aut-sei=Iwase en-aut-mei=Toshihide kn-aut-name=岩瀬敏秀 kn-aut-sei=岩瀬 kn-aut-mei=敏秀 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanamoriTatsuya en-aut-sei=Kanamori en-aut-mei=Tatsuya kn-aut-name=金森達也 kn-aut-sei=金森 kn-aut-mei=達也 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabataTomoko en-aut-sei=Kawabata en-aut-mei=Tomoko kn-aut-name=川畑智子 kn-aut-sei=川畑 kn-aut-mei=智子 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoMasaru en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name=佐藤勝 kn-aut-sei=佐藤 kn-aut-mei=勝 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=Usui KataokaHitomi en-aut-sei=Usui Kataoka en-aut-mei=Hitomi kn-aut-name=片岡仁美 kn-aut-sei=片岡 kn-aut-mei=仁美 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　地域医療人材育成 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山県地域医療支援センター　岡山大学支部 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　地域医療人材育成 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　地域医療人材育成 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　地域医療人材育成 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯薬学総合研究科　地域医療人材育成 en-keyword=岡山大学勤務医師（physicians at Okayama University） kn-keyword=岡山大学勤務医師（physicians at Okayama University） en-keyword=非常勤勤務（part-time worker） kn-keyword=非常勤勤務（part-time worker） en-keyword=地域医療機関支援（community-based medical facilities） kn-keyword=地域医療機関支援（community-based medical facilities） END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=68 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=235 end-page=241 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2014 dt-pub=201408 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Factors Associated with Remission and/or Regression of Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The aim of this study was to clarify the factors associated with the remission and/or regression of microalbuminuria in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We retrospectively analyzed the data of 130 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with microalbuminuria for 2-6 years (3.39±1.31 years). Remission was defined as improving from microalbuminuria to normoalbuminuria using the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), and regression of microalbuminuria was defined as a decrease in ACR of 50% or more from baseline. Progression of microalbuminuria was defined as progressing from microalbuminuria to overt proteinuria during the follow-up period. Among 130 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with microalbuminuria, 57 and 13 patients were defined as having remission and regression, respectively, while 26 patients progressed to overt proteinuria. Sex (female), higher HDL cholesterol and lower HbA1c were determinant factors associated with remission/regression of microalbuminuria by logistic regression analysis. Lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) was also correlated with remission/regression, but not at a significant level. These results suggest that proper control of blood glucose, BP and lipid profiles may be associated with remission and/or regression of type 2 diabetes mellitus with microalbuminuria in clinical practice. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OnoTetsuichiro en-aut-sei=Ono en-aut-mei=Tetsuichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShikataKenichi

Glomerular Hyperfiltration en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Glomerular hyperfiltration is a common pathway leading to glomerulosclerosis in various kinds of kidney diseases. The 5/6 renal ablation is an established experimental animal model for glomerular hyperfiltration. On the other hand, low-grade inflammation is also a common mechanism for the progression of kidney diseases including diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis. Here we analyzed the gene expression profile in the remnant kidney tissues of 5/6 nephrectomized mice using a DNA microarray system and compared it with that of sham-operated control mice. The 5/6 nephrectomized mice showed glomerular hypertrophy and an increase in the extracellular matrix in the glomeruli. DNA microarray analysis indicated the up-regulated expression of various kinds of genes related to the inflammatory process in remnant kidneys. We confirmed the up-regulated expression of platelet factor-4, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, 2, and 5 in remnant kidneys by RT-PCR. The current results suggest that the inflammatory process is involved in the progression of glomerulosclerosis and is a common pathway of the pathogenesis of kidney disease. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SasakiMotofumi en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Motofumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShikataKenichi en-aut-sei=Shikata en-aut-mei=Kenichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaShinichi en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Shinichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyamotoSatoshi en-aut-sei=Miyamoto en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishishitaShingo en-aut-sei=Nishishita en-aut-mei=Shingo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=Usui KataokaHitomi en-aut-sei=Usui Kataoka en-aut-mei=Hitomi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoChikage en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Chikage kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaJun en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OgawaDaisuke en-aut-sei=Ogawa en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MakinoHirofumi en-aut-sei=Makino en-aut-mei=Hirofumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Medicine and Clinical Science, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences en-keyword=kidney kn-keyword=kidney en-keyword=inflammation kn-keyword=inflammation en-keyword=chemokine kn-keyword=chemokine END
