- BACKGROUND: Febrile status epilepticus (FSE) is associated with the development of acute encephalopathy (AE), and delays in the administration of antiseizure medications have been linked to worse outcomes. However, the effect of treatment timing on subsequent in-hospital management and short-term outcomes in pediatric patients with FSE remains inadequately elucidated. METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study involving children with FSE admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and April 2023. Patients who received benzodiazepines (BZDs) within 80 min of seizure onset were included. Patients were categorized into an early group (EG) (≤40 min) and a late group (LG) (41-80 min) based on the timing of initial BZD administration. Outcomes assessed included impaired consciousness at 6 h, induction of anesthetic coma therapy (ACT), development of AE, and neurological sequelae. RESULTS: A total of 93 children with FSE were analyzed. Impaired consciousness at 6 h was observed in 33 (35.4%) patients, and 16 (17.2%) required ACT. Neurological sequelae occurred in 7 (7.5%) patients, including one death (1.1%). The induction rate of ACT was significantly higher in the LG than in the EG (22.7% vs. 3.7%). Although no statistically significant differences were observed in the incidence of AE or neurological sequelae, the ACT rate increased in a time-dependent manner with delays in BZD administration. CONCLUSIONS: Delayed BZD administration may be associated with an increased likelihood of requiring intensive neurocritical care, including ACT, among children with FSE.Last, Aug. 2026, Epilepsy research, 227, 107898 - 107898, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: The long-term relationship between breakfast habits in early childhood and academic performance remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between breakfast habits at age 3 years and academic performance in the first grade of elementary school. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of a population-based cohort in Amagasaki City that followed children from birth until entry into elementary school. Academic outcomes included performance in the national language and math, as well as subdomains within each subject. RESULTS: Among 7847 children, regular breakfast consumption at age 3 years was associated with higher academic performance. Children who ate breakfast daily had higher mean scores in national language (73.12 ± 19.19 vs 66.16 ± 22.33) and math (81.09 ± 19.19 vs 73.31 ± 24.71). In multivariable regression analyses, daily breakfast consumption at age 3 years was modestly associated with higher first-grade academic performance, specifically with overall math scores (β = 2.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07-4.85), calculation-related skills (β = 1.94, 95% CI: 0.29-3.59), and language-related skills (β = 1.74, 95% CI: 0.02-3.46). Associations with other domains were not significant. These associations remained significant after adjusting for economic status, suggesting an independent association between early childhood breakfast habits and academic performance. Children who did not eat breakfast daily were more likely to have financial difficulties and irregular lifestyles. CONCLUSION: Regular breakfast consumption during early childhood was associated with higher subsequent academic achievement. However, the observed association may reflect underlying social and environmental factors.Corresponding, Aug. 2026, Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency requiring rapid treatment. While prehospital management is critical, practices regarding rescue medication use and caregiver guidance, including emergency service activation, remain unclear. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide, web-based survey of pediatric neurologists between January and March 2025. One representative from each institution reported on rescue medication prescribing and caregiver instructions for prehospital seizure management. The survey assessed indications for buccal midazolam, scenario-based recommendations, and post-administration guidance. RESULTS: Of 136 responses, 134 respondents who were aware of buccal midazolam were included; 118 had prescribing experience. A history of prolonged convulsive seizures, particularly ≥30 min (95.5% high-priority), was consistently identified as a high-priority indication. Seizures lasting 5-30 min were also considered appropriate (57.5% high-priority, 38.1% low-priority), with greater variability. In contrast, frequent seizures alone were often regarded as appropriate (44.8% low-priority) but rarely high-priority (16.4%). Diagnostic categories such as epilepsy or febrile seizures themselves were not regarded as appropriate indications. Environmental factors, including distance from medical facilities, were also relevant. Similar patterns were observed in scenario-based recommendations, with consistent findings across epilepsy and febrile seizure scenarios. Caregiver instructions varied widely, particularly regarding emergency service activation. In-hospital management was generally unchanged regardless of prehospital rescue medication use. CONCLUSIONS: Prehospital rescue medication prescribing is primarily guided by seizure duration rather than diagnostic categories. Variability in caregiver instructions highlights the need for clearer guidance to optimize prehospital seizure management.Aug. 2026, Brain & development, 48(4) (4), 104573 - 104573, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- PURPOSE: While prolonged impaired consciousness is often attributed to encephalopathy or meningitis, its occurrence and associated factors in patients with febrile status epilepticus without these conditions remain unclear. This study investigated the duration and determinants of impaired consciousness following febrile status epilepticus lasting ≥ 30 min in children treated with antiseizure medications. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study used data from the Febrile Acute Convulsion and Encephalopathy registry, a prospective multicenter consecutive case registry for acute encephalopathy and febrile convulsive status epilepticus in Japan. Children aged 6-60 months with febrile status epilepticus lasting ≥ 30 min who received antiseizure medication were analyzed. Clinical data and early laboratory results were compared between prolonged (≥4 h) and non-prolonged (<4 h) impaired consciousness groups. RESULTS: Among 227 children with febrile status epilepticus lasting ≥ 30 min, the median time to recovery of consciousness was 176 min, and 79 (34.8%) had prolonged impaired consciousness (≥4 h). The two groups did not differ in age, sex, seizure duration, body temperature, history of febrile seizures, or number of antiseizure medications. Phenobarbital use was more frequent in the prolonged group. Laboratory abnormalities, including lower pH, lower base excess, higher creatinine, higher glucose, and higher ammonia were associated with prolonged impairment. Low pH was the only independent factor. CONCLUSION: In children with febrile status epilepticus ≥ 30 min, prolonged unconsciousness (≥4 h) was associated with phenobarbital use and laboratory abnormalities, with acidosis as the sole independent predictor. Early recognition of delayed recovery may support timely clinical decision making and optimize emergency care.Jul. 2026, Epilepsy & behavior : E&B, 180, 111013 - 111013, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Mohr-Tranebjaerg syndrome (MTS) is an X-linked recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by pathogenic variants in TIMM8A. Of the 39 previously reported disease-causing variants in the TIMM8A, five are splice site variants; however, none of these variants have been evaluated by transcript analysis. METHODS: We performed panel-based targeted exome analysis in a Japanese boy with sensorineural hearing loss and rapidly progressive dystonia. To assess the effect of the identified splice donor site variant, transcript analysis was performed using RNA derived from peripheral blood. RESULT: A novel hemizygous splice donor site variant in TIMM8A (NM_004085.4:c.132+5G>A) was identified. Transcript analysis revealed three aberrant transcripts: two transcripts with partial intron 1 inclusion of 606 bp or 492 bp (INS606bp and INS492bp) and one transcript with a 60 bp partial deletion of exon 1 (Δ60bp), with no detectable normal transcript. Both INS606bp and INS492bp transcripts contain premature stop codons due to the inserted intronic sequences, leading to the loss of 53 amino acids, whereas the Δ60bp transcript leads to the loss of 20 amino acids. All aberrant transcripts lacked part of the Tim10/DDP family zinc finger domain, which is essential for TIM8A function. CONCLUSION: This study provides the first transcript analysis elucidating the pathogenic mechanism of a splice donor site variant in TIMM8A. The findings suggest that splice donor site variants may share a common disease mechanism involving the production of functionally defective TIM8A protein.Jun. 2026, Brain & development, 48(3) (3), 104525 - 104525, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- ABSTRACT Introduction Social restrictions during the coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic have resulted in children spending more time with their families and having fewer opportunities to attend nursery schools or therapeutic facilities. Few studies have examined the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the development and parenting environments of 3‐year‐old children. In this study, we aimed to examine the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on fine and gross motor skills and language development, including comprehension and communication, in 3‐year‐old children. The secondary objective was to investigate their impact on caregiving environments. Methods This repeated cross‐sectional study was conducted at age 3 years using data from a longitudinal birth cohort. We analyzed data from routine 3‐year‐old health examinations conducted in Kobe City, Japan, between April 2014 and March 2021. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association between COVID‐19 birth cohorts and developmental and caregiving outcomes among 3‐year‐old children. In total, 62,192 children (3 years, 51.4% males; majority Japanese) were categorized into three birth cohorts: pre‐ (from 4/1/2014 to 3/31/2017; n = 29,421), partial‐ (from 4/1/2017 to 3/31/2020; n = 25,202), and post‐COVID‐19 (from 4/1/2020 to 3/31/2021; n = 7569). Results The prevalence of impaired gross motor skills and language comprehension was significantly higher in the post‐COVID‐19 group than in the pre‐COVID‐19 group (gross motor skill: 0.7% vs. 0.5%, OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.02–1.95, p = 0.04; language comprehension abnormalities: 3.6% vs. 2.1%, OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.49–1.99, p < 0.001). However, medical evaluations conducted by physicians showed no differences in fine motor skills. Caregiver questionnaires showed impaired verbal and communication skills, as well as reduced interactions with peers and relatives, in the post‐COVID‐19 group (limited vocabulary growth: 1.0% vs. 0.7%, OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01–1.72, p = 0.04; inability to formulate three‐word sentences: 4.4% vs. 3.4%, OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.11–1.43, p < 0.001; inability to state the names of their playmates: 5.5% vs. 3.9%, OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.25–1.57, p = 0.003). However, no definitive conclusions regarding motor skills could be drawn from our findings. Although caregiving assistance decreased significantly in the COVID‐19 group, comparable trends were observed in the pre‐COVID‐19 group. Conclusion These findings indicate that the COVID‐19 pandemic was associated with changes in language development and social interactions, possibly reflecting decreased opportunities for social engagement outside the family.Wiley, Apr. 2026, Brain and Behavior, 16(4) (4), e71434, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency requiring rapid, stepwise treatment. In Japan, the Guidelines for the Treatment of Pediatric Status Epilepticus 2023 (GL2023) were published; however, real-world practice following their publication remains unclear. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide, cross-sectional web-based survey of pediatric neurologists between January and March 2025. One representative from each institution reported institutional practices for the in-hospital management of pediatric SE. Institutions were stratified by annual SE case volume (≥20 vs. ≤19 cases). General management strategies, antiseizure medication selection, electroencephalography (EEG) utilization, and approaches to refractory and super-refractory SE (RSE and SRSE) were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 136 institutions responded. Most institutions reported referring to GL2023 and initiating first-line treatment within 10 min of hospital arrival. Midazolam was the most commonly used first-line drug, with widespread use of non-intravenous routes. Phenytoin or fosphenytoin remained the most commonly selected second-line drug, followed by phenobarbital. For RSE, anesthetic coma therapy with midazolam and barbiturates was used at comparable frequencies. Overall, antiseizure medication selection did not differ by institutional case volume. In contrast, institutions managing ≥20 cases annually more frequently reported having institution-specific protocols, utilizing EEG in the emergency department, administering repeat doses of benzodiazepines, and having experience with advanced therapies for SRSE. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric SE management in Japan emphasizes rapid treatment and flexible administration routes. Institutional experience is associated with differences in EEG utilization, protocol development, and SRSE management. Further improvement will require continued evidence generation, timely treatment implementation, and reduction of institutional disparities.Mar. 2026, Brain & development, 48(3) (3), 104524 - 104524, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Objective This population-based cohort study in Kobe, Japan, investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on infant neurodevelopment by comparing children born before and during the pandemic. Design Retrospective population-based cohort study of 63 703 children born between 1 April 2014 and 31 October 2020, who underwent an 18-month health check-up. Setting Kobe, Japan. Patient Children born between April 2014 and March 2018 (pre-COVID-19 group) or April–October 2020 (during-COVID-19 group). Intervention None Main outcome measures Neurodevelopmental outcomes assessed by trained paediatricians, including language, social and behavioural indicators. Results The abnormal neurodevelopment prevalence was higher in the during-COVID-19 group (12.8%) than in the pre-COVID-19 group (10.2%) (OR, 1.30; 99% CI 1.16 to 1.46). Similarly, the rate of children without meaningful words was higher during the pandemic (7.1% vs 4.8%; OR, 1.52; 99% CI 1.31 to 1.78), indicating delayed language development. Intergroup differences in other outcomes were minimal. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic may have negatively influenced early neurodevelopment, particularly language acquisition. These findings suggest that infant language development is affected by social changes, such as pandemics. Further research is required to explore the underlying causes and the long-term effects.Corresponding, BMJ, Feb. 2026, BMJ Paediatrics Open, 10(1) (1), e003832 - e003832, English[Refereed]Scientific journal
- SARS-CoV-2 infections in children occasionally manifest with severe neurologic signs. We report a case series of life-threatening encephalopathy associated with SARS-CoV-2 in 25 children in Australia, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan during February 2022-January 2024. All children had severe encephalopathy develop, characterized by rapidly progressive cerebral edema, conditions known as acute shock with encephalopathy and multiorgan failure or acute fulminant cerebral edema. Among the 25 patients, 22 (88%) eventually died; 11 (44%) children died within 24 hours of hospitalization. In addition, 18 (72%) had illness manifest with shock, and 14 (56%) had multiorgan failure develop within 6 hours of neurologic onset. Serum concentrations of cytokines/chemokines including interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor-α were significantly higher within 24 hours of onset than for controls. SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy cases such as those described here represent an emerging neurologic crisis with high mortality rate resulting from rapidly progressive brain edema and multiorgan failure.Lead, Feb. 2026, Emerging infectious diseases, 32(2) (2), 169 - 179, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Febrile seizures are a common cause of emergency pediatric transport. Although the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted healthcare systems, including emergency services, its impact on transport times for pediatric febrile seizures remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate how the pandemic affected transport times. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed emergency department visits at our hospital between 2018 and 2022. Patients with febrile seizures in 2019 (before the COVID-19 pandemic) and in 2022 (during the pandemic) were included. Transport times and clinical data were compared between those years. Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with longer transport times. RESULTS: There were 329 and 282 patients in 2019 and 2022, respectively. The median transport time increased significantly from 33 min in 2019 to 39 min in 2022 (p < 0.001). The proportion of cases exceeding 46 min increased from 10 % to 28 %, whereas those exceeding 60 min increased from 1.2 % to 7.4 %. A longer transport time was associated with seizure duration, onset year (2022), and transport from distant areas. Onset in 2022 was identified as an independent factor. Stratified analysis showed significantly longer transport times in adjacent and remote areas during the pandemic no significant difference in transport times near the hospital. CONCLUSION: Transport times for pediatric febrile seizures increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with more delays of over 60 min, especially in remote areas. These findings highlight the need to strengthen regional emergency transportation systems to reduce time to care, particularly for patients living farther from hospitals.Corresponding, Oct. 2025, Brain & development, 47(5) (5), 104456 - 104456, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: This study aimed to analyze and describe reduced-lead electroencephalographic (EEG) data for suspected electrographic seizure (ESz) in pediatric patients presenting with altered mental status (AMS) in the emergency department (ED) according to standardized EEG terminology. The secondary aim was to compare the characteristics of these EEG patterns across febrile seizure (FS), acute encephalopathy/encephalitis (AE/AES), and epilepsy. METHODS: Epileptologists retrospectively analyzed the medical records and findings of reduced-lead EEG performed for suspected ESz in pediatric patients with AMS in ED between March 1, 2019, and February 28, 2023. Fifty-one EEG results with few artifacts were extracted; these patterns were described according to the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society's Standardized Critical Care EEG Terminology 2021. The obtained clinical diagnoses were categorized into three groups: FS, AE/AES, and epilepsy, and the characteristics of EEG patterns were compared. RESULTS: Clinical seizure types were not significantly different between FS, AE/AES, and epilepsy. In terms of EEG, there was no difference in Main term 1 (localization) among the groups. With regard to Main term 2 (morphology), patients with FS and AE/AES had commonly rhythmic delta activity, whereas patients with epilepsy had significantly more spikes and waves. ESz was observed in 25 patients; their incidence was significantly higher in the epilepsy group. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to describe patterns in reduced-lead EEG performed for suspected ESz in pediatric patients with AMS due to disorders commonly encountered in the ED by using standardized EEG terminology and to compare EEG patterns among these disorders.Aug. 2025, Pediatric neurology, 169, 21 - 30, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (SPCD) is a rare congenital fatty acid metabolism disorder causing impaired β-oxidation and energy production, leading to hypoglycemia, metabolic encephalopathy, and sudden death. Early diagnosis and treatment, including L-carnitine supplementation and fasting avoidance, can improve prognosis. However, newborn screening (NBS) criteria differ by region, and standardized guidelines are lacking. This report presents a case of SPCD undetected by NBS, resulting in basal ganglia damage and dystonia due to metabolic decompensation. A 1-year-9-month-old girl with no abnormalities on NBS presented with impaired consciousness. She exhibited hypoketotic hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, and myocardial hypertrophy. Suspecting a fatty acid metabolism disorder, L-carnitine and high-calorie infusion were initiated. Laboratory tests revealed markedly low serum total and free carnitine levels, and genetic analysis confirmed a homozygous SLC22A5 mutation. Brain MRI on day 7 revealed bilateral basal ganglia and substantia nigra abnormalities. The patient developed severe dystonia and respiratory failure, requiring ECMO management. L-DOPA was initiated on day 62, resulting in improvements in dystonia, swallowing, and motor function. By day 88, MRI showed resolution of basal ganglia abnormalities, though cerebral atrophy persisted. Basal ganglia damage is a rare but severe SPCD complication. L-DOPA may alleviate dystonia by acting on dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Early ketone measurement during emergencies is crucial for diagnosing fatty acid metabolism disorders. A standardized NBS protocol with a defined carnitine cutoff value is essential for early detection and prevention of SPCD complications.May 2025, JIMD reports, 66(3) (3), e70014, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Acute encephalopathy is a severe condition predominantly affecting children with viral infections. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the epidemiology, treatment, and management of acute encephalopathy. The study also aimed to understand how the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has affected epidemiological trends. METHODS: This retrospective study used the database of the Febrile Acute Convulsion and Encephalopathy registry, a prospective multicenter consecutive case registry for acute encephalopathy and febrile convulsive status epilepticus. Pediatric patients aged 0-18 years hospitalized and diagnosed with acute encephalopathy between January 2020 and August 2023 were included in this study. RESULTS: Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) was the most common syndrome (36 cases, 27.5 %). SARS-CoV-2 was the most common pathogen (19 cases, 14.5 %), followed by influenza virus type A (15 cases, 11.5 %). Targeted temperature management was performed for 25 (69.4 %) of 36 patients with AESD; 5 (50.0 %) of 10 patients with hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy; and only 1 (5.9 %) of 17 patients with mild encephalitis or encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS). High-dose corticosteroids were administered to 9 (90.0 %) of 10 patients with hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy and 11 (30.6 %) of 36 patients with AESD. CONCLUSIONS: The primary causative pathogen of acute encephalopathy has changed to SARS-CoV-2. AESD remains the most common syndrome. Targeted temperature management is more, whereas high-dose corticosteroid therapy is less, frequently used. No specific treatment for mild encephalitis or encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion has been established.Corresponding, Feb. 2025, Journal of the neurological sciences, 469, 123377 - 123377, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The updated definition of status epilepticus (SE) by the International League Against Epilepsy in 2015 included two critical time points (t1: at which the seizure should be regarded as an "abnormally prolonged seizure"; and t2: beyond which the ongoing seizure activity can pose risk of long-term consequences) to aid in diagnosis and management and highlights the importance of early treatment of SE more clearly than ever before. Although Japan has witnessed an increasing number of pre-hospital drug treatment as well as first- and second-line treatments, clinical issues have emerged regarding which drugs are appropriate. To address these clinical concerns, a revised version of the "Japanese Guidelines for the Treatment of Pediatric Status Epilepticus 2023" (GL2023) was published. For pre-hospital treatment, buccal midazolam is recommended. For in-hospital treatment, if an intravenous route is unobtainable, buccal midazolam is also recommended. If an intravenous route can be obtained, intravenous benzodiazepines such as midazolam, lorazepam, and diazepam are recommended. However, the rates of seizure cessation were reported to be the same among the three drugs, but respiratory depression was less frequent with lorazepam than with diazepam. For established SE, phenytoin/fosphenytoin and phenobarbital can be used for pediatric SE, and levetiracetam can be used in only adults in Japan. Coma therapy is recommended for refractory SE, with no recommended treatment for super-refractory SE. GL2023 lacks adequate recommendations for the treatment of nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Although electrographic seizure and electrographic SE may lead to brain damages, it remains unclear whether treatment of NCSE improves outcomes in children. We plan to address this issue in an upcoming edition of the guideline.Feb. 2025, Brain & development, 47(1) (1), 104306 - 104306, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- PURPOSE: Status epilepticus associated with fever (SEF) is often encountered in pediatric emergency departments, and some patients develop neurological emergencies, such as acute encephalopathy (AE). Although numerous genetic variants of developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) have been reported, the frequency of these disease-associated variants of SEF is unknown. The first aim of this study was to investigate the associated genetic variants of SEF. The second aim was to compare the variations in genes between SEF and DEE. METHOD: This retrospective, clinical observational study included patients with SEF or DEE who visited Kobe University Hospital or Kobe University affiliated hospitals and provided consent for a genetic diagnosis of SEF or DEE between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022. FINDING: Fifteen patients with SEF and 27 patients with DEE consented to a genetic diagnosis and were included in the study. The detection rate of genetic variants was lower in patients with SEF (26.7%) than in those with DEE (63.0%), although there is no statistically significant difference (p = 0.05, Fisher's exact test). Analysis of patients with DEE revealed a wide variety of causative genes for DEE (16 different genes), whereas in SEF cases, only SCN1A variants were detected. CONCLUSION: Our study is the first to clarify the detection rates of different genetic variants in SEF. Patients with SEF may have less genetic involvement in the onset of epileptic seizures, compared to those with DEE.Feb. 2025, Brain and behavior, 15(2) (2), e70279, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Only 2 cases of human adenovirus type 14 (HAdV-14) have been reported in Japan since 1980. We report a 7-year-old girl with acute encephalopathy associated with HAdV-14 infection genetically similar to strains from the United States. The patient had not had contact with international travelers. HAdV-14 surveillance should be strengthened in Japan.Feb. 2025, Emerging infectious diseases, 31(2) (2), 377 - 379, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to measure and compare cerebrospinal fluid neuronal injury biomarkers in the acute phase of complex febrile seizure (CFS) and infection-triggered acute encephalopathy (AE). Furthermore, we determined the pathogenesis of AE with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD). METHODS: Pediatric patients with febrile status epilepticus who visited Hyogo Prefectural Kobe Children's Hospital from November 1, 2016, to December 31, 2022, and whose cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected within 24 h of neurological symptom onset were included. Patients were classified as having CFS or infection-triggered AE according to their definitions. Patients with AE were further categorized into AESD or unclassified AE. Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers (neuron-specific enolase, growth differentiation factor 15 [GDF-15], S100 calcium-binding protein B [S100B], glial fibrillary acidic protein, and tau protein were measured and compared among the groups. RESULTS: Total of 63 patients (45 with CFS and 18 with AE) were included. Among the AE patients, nine were classified as having AESD and nine as having unclassified AE. S100B levels were significantly higher in patients with AESD than in patients with CFS (485 pg/ml vs. 175.3 pg/ml) and were even higher in patients with AESD and neurological sequelae (702.4 pg/ml). GDF-15 levels were significantly elevated in patients with AE compared to patients with CFS (85.8 pg/ml vs. 23.6 pg/ml). CONCLUSIONS: The elevation of S100B suggests that activated astrocytes may be closely associated with the early pathology of AESD. Elevated GDF-15 levels in infection-triggered AE suggest the activation of defense mechanisms caused by stronger neurological injury.Nov. 2024, Journal of the neurological sciences, 466, 123238 - 123238, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- INTRODUCTION: Buccal midazolam (buc MDL) is the first buccal mucosal delivery formulation applied for status epilepticus in Japan. Herein, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and adverse events of buc MDL as a pre-hospital treatment for epileptic seizures in real-world clinical practice. METHODS: This study involved a retrospective review based on medical records. We included children who received buc MDL as pre-hospital treatment for epileptic seizures and were subsequently transported to the emergency department between April 2021 and November 2023. RESULTS: This study included 26 patients (136 episodes). The overall efficacy rate, which was defined as seizure cessation within 10 min after buc MDL administration with no recurrence within 30 min, was 43 %. Moreover, 70 % of the episodes did not require additional medications. None of the episodes required bag-mask ventilation or intubation following seizure cessation with buc MDL alone. The efficacy was decreased when buc MDL was administered longer than 15 min from seizure onset. Furthermore, the efficacy did not decrease as long as it was within 0.2-0.5 mg/kg, even if the dose was smaller than the appropriate dose for the specific age. CONCLUSIONS: The response rate was significantly higher in episodes where buc MDL was administered within 15 min.

- Although the causes of neurodevelopmental disorders remain unknown, several environmental risk factors have attracted considerable attention. We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort study using data from infant health examinations of children born to mothers with pregnancies between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2016 in Kobe City to identify the perinatal factors associated with neurodevelopmental referrals in 3-year-old children. There were 15,223 and 1283 children in the normal and referral groups, respectively. Neurodevelopmental referrals at the health checkup for 3-year-old children were significantly associated with the lack of social support during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.99, 99% CI 1.14-3.45, p = 0.001), history of psychiatric consultation (aOR 1.56, 99% CI 1.10-2.22, p = 0.001), no social assistance post-delivery (aOR 1.49, 99% CI 1.03-2.16, p = 0.006), Edinburgh Post-natal Depression Scale (EPDS) score ≥ 9 (aOR 1.36, 99% CI 1.01-1.84, p = 0.008), infant gender (male) (aOR 2.51, 99% CI 2.05-3.06, p < 0.001), and cesarean delivery (aOR 1.39, 99% CI 1.11-1.75, p < 0.001). In conclusion, this exploratory study in the general Japanese population identified six perinatal factors associated with neurodevelopmental referrals in 3-year-old children: infant gender (male), cesarean section, maternal history of psychiatric consultation, EPDS score ≥ 9, lack of social support during pregnancy, and no social assistance post-delivery.Corresponding, Feb. 2024, Scientific reports, 14(1) (1), 3492 - 3492, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) sometimes triggers acute encephalopathy as a serious neurological complication in children. We previously reported the clinico-radiological findings of SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy. The advent of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant led to a marked increase in pediatric patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); however, epidemiological changes with acute encephalopathy according to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 have not yet been documented. Therefore, the present study investigated epidemiological differences in SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy during the BA.1/BA.2 and BA.5 predominant periods and also between SARS-CoV-2-associated and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy. METHODS: We conducted a nationwide survey of SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy in Japanese children between June and November 2022. We compared the present results during the BA.5 predominant period and previous findings during the BA.1/BA.2 predominant period. We also compared the clinico-radiological syndromes of encephalopathy between SARS-CoV-2-associated and non-SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy. RESULTS: Although many patients with SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy in the BA.5 predominant period had seizures as their initial symptoms, no significant differences were observed in the clinical features. Patients with SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy had worse outcomes than those with non-SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy (p-value = 0.003). Among 103 patients with SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy, 14 (13.6%) had severe types of acute encephalopathy, namely, encephalopathy with acute fulminant cerebral edema (AFCE) and hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES). Also, 28 (27.2%) patients with SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy had poor outcome: severe neurological sequelae or death. Ninety-five patients (92.2%) were not vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. CONCLUSIONS: In SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalopathy, high percentages of AFCE and HSES can result in poor outcomes.Jan. 2024, Journal of the neurological sciences, 457, 122867 - 122867, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- This study investigated the relationship between sleep habits in early childhood and academic performance and non-cognitive skills in the first grade. We retrospectively analyzed a longitudinal population-based cohort from birth through early childhood, up to elementary school, in Amagasaki City, Japan. The primary outcome was academic performance in the first grade. Other outcomes were self-reported non-cognitive skills. Overall, 4395 children were enrolled. Mean national language scores for children with bedtimes at 18:00-20:00, 21:00, 22:00, and ≥ 23:00 were 71.2 ± 19.7, 69.3 ± 19.4, 68.3 ± 20.1, and 62.5 ± 21.3, respectively. Multiple regression analysis identified bedtime at 3 years as a significant factor associated with academic performance. However, sleep duration was not significantly associated with academic performance. Bedtime at 3 years also affected non-cognitive skills in the first grade. Diligence decreased with a later bedtime (21:00 vs. 18:00-20:00; odds ratio [OR]: 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27-3.09; 22:00 vs. 18:00-20:00; OR: 2.15, 95% CI 1.37-3.38; ≥ 23:00 vs. 18:00-20:00; OR: 2.33, 95% CI 1.29-4.20). Thus, early bedtime at 3 years may be associated with a higher academic performance and better non-cognitive skills in the first grade. Optimum early-childhood sleep habits may positively impact academic future.Nov. 2023, Scientific reports, 13(1) (1), 20926 - 20926, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: Hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) is a serious condition that requires intensive care and is associated with a high mortality rate. However, its pathogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, a genetic analysis was performed to determine the genetic background of patients with clinically suspected Dravet syndrome (DS) who developed HSES. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was performed, followed by minigene analysis of the intron variant detected by whole exome sequencing to confirm its effect on splicing. RESULTS: Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel 21-bp deletion in intron 3 of SCN1A NM_001165963.4 (NC_000002.11:g.166073675_166073695del). This deletion was not found in the patient's parents and was proven to be de novo. Minigene analysis revealed an aberrant mRNA lacking 40 and 106 bp from the 5' end of exon 4 of SCN1A. Therefore, we diagnosed this case as DS due to the deletion in intron 3 of SCN1A. CONCLUSIONS: We report a case of DS with HSES caused by a 21-bp deletion in the intron of SCN1A that was confirmed by minigene analysis. The present case met Levin's criteria for HSES and the splicing analysis of SCN1A is an important finding. This study has important implications for understanding HSES pathogenesis.Jun. 2023, Brain & development, 45(6) (6), 317 - 323, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HyperPP) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease characterized by episodic paralytic attacks with hyperkalemia, and is caused by mutations of the SCN4A gene encoding the skeletal muscle type voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.4. The pathological mechanism of HyperPP was suggested to be associated with gain-of-function changes for Nav1.4 gating, some of which are defects of slow inactivation. CASE PRESENTATION & METHODS: We identified a HyperPP family consisting of the proband and his mother, who showed a novel heterozygous SCN4A variant, p.V792G, in an inner pore lesion of segment 6 in Domain II of Nav1.4. Clinical and neurophysiological evaluations were conducted for the proband and his mother. We explored the pathogenesis of the variant by whole-cell patch clamp technique using HEK293T cells expressing the mutant Nav1.4 channel. RESULTS: Functional analysis of Nav1.4 with the V792G mutation revealed a hyperpolarized shift of voltage-dependent activation and fast inactivation. Moreover, steady-state slow inactivation in V792G was impaired with larger residual currents in comparison with wild-type Nav1.4. CONCLUSION: V792G in SCN4A is a pathogenic variant associated with the HyperPP phenotype and the inner pore lesion of Nav1.4 plays a crucial role in slow inactivation.Lead, Apr. 2023, Brain & development, 45(4) (4), 205 - 211, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Patients with complex febrile seizures (CFS) often display abnormal laboratory results, unexpectedly prolonged seizures, and/or altered consciousness after admission. However, no standardized values have been established for the clinical and laboratory characteristics of CFS in the acute phase, making the management of CFS challenging. This study aimed to determine the clinical and laboratory characteristics of children with CFS during the acute phase. In particular, the duration of impaired consciousness and the detailed distribution of blood test values were focused. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of a consecutive pediatric cohort aged 6-60 months who were diagnosed with CFS and admitted to Kobe Children's Hospital between October 2002 and March 2017. During the study period, 486 seizure episodes with confirmed CFS were initially reviewed, with 317 seizure episodes included in the analysis. Detailed clinical and laboratory characteristics were summarized. RESULTS: Among 317 seizure episodes (296 children with CFS), 302 required two or fewer anticonvulsants to be terminated. In 296 episodes showing convulsive seizures, median seizure duration was 30.5 min. The median time from onset to consciousness recovery was 175 min. Impaired consciousness lasting > 6, 8, and 12 h was observed in 13.9%, 7.6%, and 1.9% patients with CFS, respectively. Additionally, the distribution of aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, and glucose were clarified with 3, 10, 50, 90, and 97 percentile values. CONCLUSION: This study detailed the clinical and laboratory findings of acute-phase CFS using the data of the largest 15-year consecutive cohort of children with CFS. These results provide important information for appropriate acute management of CFS.Jan. 2023, BMC neurology, 23(1) (1), 28 - 28, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Cytokine levels have been measured in acute encephalopathy (AE) to determine its pathology or as a diagnostic biomarker to distinguish it from febrile seizures (FS); however, the dynamics of cytokine level changes have not yet been fully captured in these two neurological manifestations. Thus, we aimed to explore the time course of serum cytokine level changes within 72 h after onset in AE and FS. METHODS: We retrospectively measured cytokine level in residual serum samples at multiple timepoints in seven children whose final diagnoses were AE or FS. RESULTS: The levels of 13 cytokines appeared to increase immediately after onset and peaked within 12-24 h after onset: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4 IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, eotaxin, fibroblast growth factor, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, interferon gamma, interferon-inducible protein-10, and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1. There were no dynamic changes in the levels of three cytokines (IL-1 receptor agonist, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α, and platelet-derived growth factor-bb) 72 h after onset. Levels of some cytokines decreased to around control levels within 48 h after onset: IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-17, fibroblast growth factor, and interferon gamma. The levels of most cytokines appeared to be higher in AE, especially in hemorrhagic shock encephalopathy syndrome, than in FS. CONCLUSIONS: Cytokine levels in both AE and FS change dynamically, such as the levels of several cytokines increased within a few hours after onset and decreased at 12-24 h after onset. Therefore, it will be desirable to make clinical decisions regarding the administration of anti-inflammatory therapy in 24 h after onset in AE.Jan. 2023, BMC neurology, 23(1) (1), 7 - 7, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Our goal was to conduct a scoping review of the literature on the treatment of infection-triggered encephalopathy syndrome/acute encephalopathy in children, focusing on treatment targets and treatment initiation timing. We performed literature searches using PubMed for articles reporting treatments of infection-triggered encephalopathy syndrome/acute encephalopathy. We included articles describing specific treatments for acute encephalopathy with control groups. For the purpose of searching new therapies only experimentally tried in the case series, we also included case series studies without control groups in this review, if the studies contained at least two cases with clear treatment goals. Therapies were classified based on their mechanisms of action into brain protection therapy, immunotherapy, and other therapies. We operationally categorized the timing of treatment initiation as T1 (6-12 h), T2 (12-24 h), T3 (24-48 h), and T4 (>48 h) after the onset of seizures and/or impaired consciousness. Thirty articles were included in this review; no randomized control study was found. Eleven retrospective/historical cohort studies and five case-control studies included control groups with or without specific therapies or outcomes. The targeted conditions and treatment timing varied widely across studies. However, the following three points were suggested to be effective in multiple studies: (1) Careful seizure management and targeted temperature management within 12 h (T1) of onset of febrile seizure/prolonged impaired consciousness without multiple organ failure may reduce the development of acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion; (2) immunotherapy using corticosteroids, tocilizumab, or plasma exchange within 24 h (T1-T2) of onset of acute necrotizing encephalopathy may reduce sequelae; and (3) anakinra therapy and ketogenic diet demonstrate little evidence of neurologic sequelae reduction, but may reduce seizure frequency and allow for weaning from barbiturates, even when administered weeks (T4) after onset in children with febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome. Although available studies have no solid evidence in the treatment of infection-triggered encephalopathy syndrome/acute encephalopathy, this scoping review lays the groundwork for future prospective clinical trials.2023, Frontiers in neuroscience, 17, 1150868 - 1150868, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Whether neurologic symptoms due to SARS-CoV-2 differ from those of non-SARS-CoV-2 viral infection is unclear. We aimed to describe these neurological manifestations and compare the clinical characteristics and treatments in children with seizures and fever with or without COVID-19. We retrospectively analyzed data from 105 hospitalized children (<18 years) with clinical seizures and fever between September 2021 and August 2022. We compared the clinical characteristics and treatments between the COVID-19 (n = 20) and non-COVID-19 (n = 85) groups. Patients with COVID-19 were older than those without (32.5 [20-86] months vs. 20 [16-32] months, p = 0.029). Seizure type and duration and impaired consciousness duration did not differ between groups. Six and 32 patients experienced status epilepticus lasting 30 min in the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 groups, respectively. Most treatments did not differ between groups; however, electroencephalography was used less frequently for COVID-19. Neurological sequelae occurred in one and four patients in the COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 groups, respectively. In conclusion, seizures with fever due to SARS-CoV-2 were more common in older children. Seizure characteristics and neurologic sequelae did not differ in children with and those without COVID-19. In general, electroencephalography was used less during COVID-19 for infection control measures.Corresponding, 2023, Epilepsy & behavior reports, 24, 100625 - 100625, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Microglia have diverse physiological and pathological functions. However, the transcriptional mechanisms remain elusive. Here we sought new transcription factors relevant to microglial functions from the microglial transcriptome of stressed mice and evaluated their roles in primary microglia. TLR2 and TLR4 agonists increased Rel, Atf3, and Cebpb and decreased Hhex in primary microglia as repeated social defeat stress. Although Hhex was not studied in microglia, TLR2 and TLR4 agonists decreased Hhex, and Hhex overexpression attenuated TLR4-increased expression of inflammation-related genes. These findings suggest that Hhex negatively regulates inflammation-related genes in microglia and that TLR2/4 activation reduces Hhex, facilitating TLR4-mediated neuroinflammation.Jul. 2022, Journal of pharmacological sciences, 149(3) (3), 166 - 171, English, Domestic magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- In children with eating disorders, nutritional status and growth may depend on enteral nutrient formula. Ultimately, its goal is to introduce or reintroduce oral feeding. Japanese research on the treatment of tube or oral formula-dependent children is scarce. This study determined the feasibility of behavioral therapy for children with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and dependency on the tube or oral enteral nutrient formula in Japan. Medical records of children diagnosed with this disorder, dependent on the tube or oral enteral nutrient formula and who had received behavioral therapy intervention to withdraw from the formula were retrospectively investigated. We collected their characteristics at first visit and the caloric percentage from oral food intake six months after starting the treatment. In total, four patients (age range: 2-5 years) participated in this study. The feeding routes employed before the intervention were a nasogastric tube for one patient, a gastrostomy bottom for the other patient, and oral formula for the remaining patients (i.e., two children). At the sixth month of the behavioral treatment, none of the patients needed the formula, and the caloric percentage of required nutrition from oral food intake was 100%. Our data demonstrate that this behavioral therapy is feasible for children with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder dependent on the tube or oral formula in Japan.Kobe University School of Medicine, Mar. 2022, The Kobe journal of medical sciences, 67(4) (4), E155-E160 - 160, English, Domestic magazine[Refereed]Research institution
- BACKGROUND: Febrile status epilepticus is the most common form of status epilepticus in children. No previous reports compare the effectiveness of treatment strategies using fosphenytoin (fPHT) or phenobarbital (PB) and those using anesthetics as second-line anti-seizure medication for benzodiazepine-resistant convulsive status epilepticus (CSE). We aimed to examine the outcomes of various treatment strategies for febrile convulsive status epilepticus (FCSE) in a real-world setting while comparing the effects of different treatment protocols and their presence or absence. METHODS: This was a single-center historical cohort study that was divided into three periods. Patients who presented with febrile convulsive status epilepticus for ≥60 min even after the administration of at least one anticonvulsant were included. During period I (October 2002-December 2006), treatment was performed at the discretion of the attending physician, without a protocol. During period II (January 2007-February 2013), barbiturate coma therapy (BCT) was indicated for FCSE resistant to benzodiazepines. During period III (March 2013-April 2016), BCT was indicated for FCSE resistant to fPHT or PB. RESULTS: The rate of electroencephalogram monitoring was lower in period I than period II+III (11.5% vs. 85.7%, p<0.01). Midazolam was administered by continuous infusion more often in period I than period II+III (84.6% vs. 25.0%, p<0.01), whereas fPHT was administered less often in period I than period II+III (0% vs. 27.4%, p<0.01). The rate of poor outcome, which was determined using the Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scale, was higher in period I than period II+III (23.1% vs. 7.1%, p=0.03). The rate of poor outcome did not differ between periods II and III (4.2% vs. 11.1%, p=0.40). CONCLUSIONS: While the presence of a treatment protocol for FCSE in children may improve outcomes, a treatment protocol using fPHT or PB may not be associated with better outcomes.Mar. 2022, BMC neurology, 22(1) (1), 77 - 77, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: Biomarkers predicting poor outcomes of status-epilepticus-associated-with-fever (SEF) at an early stage may contribute to treatment guidance. However, none have been reported thus far. We investigated the dynamics of serum growth and differentiation factor (GDF)-15 after seizure onset in patients with SEF and determined whether GDF-15 can predict poor outcomes, particularly in the first 6 h after seizure onset. METHODS: We enrolled 37 pediatric patients with SEF and eight patients with simple febrile seizures (SFS) and collected their blood samples within 24 h of seizure onset and eight febrile control patients between March 1, 2017 and September 30, 2020. All patients were aged ≤15 years. RESULTS: In the SEF group, the median post-seizure serum GDF-15 values were 1,065 (<6h), 2,720 (6-12 h), and 2,411 (12-24 h) pg/mL. The median serum GDF-15 in the first 6 h was measured in patients with SEF without a significant past medical history (n = 21) and was found to be statistically significantly higher (1,587 pg/mL) than in the febrile control (551 pg/mL) and SFS (411 pg/mL) groups. The median serum GDF-15 was statistically significantly higher in patients with SEF with sequelae (n = 5) and patients with acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures/reduced diffusion/hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (n = 6) than in patients with SEF without sequelae (n = 16) (15,898 vs 756 pg/mL) and patients with prolonged FS (n = 15) (9,448 vs 796 pg/mL). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the dynamics of serum GDF-15 in patients with SEF and indicates the potential of GDF-15 as an early predictor of poor outcomes.Mar. 2022, Brain & development, 44(3) (3), 210 - 220, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. In 1984, Scheinberg and Sternlieb estimated the prevalence of WD to be 1:30,000. However, recent epidemiological studies have reported increasing prevalence rates in different populations. The carrier frequency of ATP7B variants and the prevalence of WD in the Japanese population have not been reported using multiple databases. METHODS: Multiple public databases were used. First, we included mutations in the ATP7B gene that were registered in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) Professional, where 885 ATP7B variants were identified as pathogenic. Next, we investigated the allele frequencies of these 885 variants in Japanese individuals using the Human Genetic Variation Database (HGVD) and the Japanese Multi Omics Reference Panel (jMorp). RESULTS: Of the 885 variants of ATP7B, 7 and 12 missense and nonsense variants, 0 and 3 splicing variants, and 0 and 2 small deletions were found in the HGVD and in jMorp, respectively. The total allele frequencies of the ATP7B mutations were 0.011 in the HGVD and 0.014 in the jMorp. According to these data, the carrier frequencies were 0.022 (2.2%) and 0.028 (2.8%), respectively, and patient frequencies were 0.000121 (1.21/10,000 individuals) and 0.000196 (1.96/10,000 individuals), respectively. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to report the carrier frequency of ATP7B variants and the prevalence of WD in Japan using multiple databases. The calculated prevalence of WD was comparatively higher than that of previous reports, indicating previous underdiagnosis or the existence of less severe phenotypes.Wiley, Aug. 2021, Pediatrics international : official journal of the Japan Pediatric Society, 63(8) (8), 918 - 922, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- ABSTRACT: Steroid pulse therapy is widely used to treat virus-associated acute encephalopathy, especially the cytokine storm type; however, its effectiveness remains unknown. We sought to investigate the effectiveness of early steroid pulse therapy for suspected acute encephalopathy in the presence of elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels.We enrolled children admitted to Hyogo Children's Hospital between 2003 and 2017 with convulsions or impaired consciousness accompanied by fever (temperature >38°C). The inclusion criteria were: refractory status epilepticus or prolonged neurological abnormality or hemiplegia at 6 hours from onset, and AST elevation >90 IU/L within 6 hours of onset. We excluded patients with a neurological history. We compared the prognosis between the groups with or without steroid pulse therapy within 24 hours. A good prognosis was defined as a Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category Scale (PCPC) score of 1-2 at the last evaluation, within 30 months of onset. Moreover, we analyzed the relationship between prognosis and time from onset to steroid pulse therapy.Fifteen patients with acute encephalopathy and 5 patients with febrile seizures were included in this study. Thirteen patients received steroid pulse therapy within 24 hours. There was no between-group difference in the proportion with a good prognosis. There was no significant correlation between PCPC and timing of steroid pulse therapy (rs = 0.253, P = .405). Even after excluding 2 patients with brainstem lesions, no significant correlation between PCPC and steroid pulse therapy timing (rs = 0.583, P = .060) was noted. However, the prognosis tended to be better in patients who received steroid pulse therapy earlier.Steroid pulse therapy within 24 hours did not improve the prognosis in children with suspected acute encephalopathy associated with elevated AST. Still, even earlier administration of treatment could prevent the possible neurological sequelae of this condition.Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Jul. 2021, Medicine, 100(30) (30), e26660, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- OBJECTIVE: The clinical prediction rule (CPR) for acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) was developed with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.95 - 0.96. Our objective was to verify the AESD CPR in a new cohort and compare the utilities of three CPRs of acute encephalopathy: the Tada, Yokochi, and Nagase criteria. METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data and medical charts of 580 consecutive patients (aged < 18 years) with febrile convulsive status epilepticus lasting for ≥ 30 min in 2002 - 2017 and measured the performance of the CPRs in predicting AESD and sequelae. RESULTS: The CPRs predicted AESD with an AUC of 0.84 - 0.88. The Tada criteria predicted AESD with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.25 and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.99. The Yokochi criteria predicted AESD with a PPV and NPV of 0.20 and 0.95, respectively, after 12 h. The Nagase criteria predicted AESD with a PPV and NPV of 0.14 and 1.00, respectively, after 6 h. The PPVs of the Tada, Yokochi, and Nagase criteria for sequelae were 0.28, 0.28, and 0.17, respectively; the corresponding NPVs were 0.97, 0.95, and 0.98, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of the AESD CPR in a new cohort was lower than that in the derivation study. CPRs are not sufficient as diagnostic tests, but they are useful as screening tests. The Nagase criteria are the most effective for screening among the three CPRs due to their high NPV and swiftness.May 2021, Brain & development, 43(5) (5), 616 - 625, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- INTRODUCTION: Children with either febrile seizure or acute encephalopathy exhibit seizures and/or impaired consciousness accompanied by fever of unknown etiology (SICF). Among children with SICF, we previously reported those who have refractory status epilepticus or prolonged neurological abnormalities with normal AST levels are at a high risk for the development of acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD), considered to be caused by excitotoxicity. Non-convulsive seizures (NCS) are common in critically ill children and cause excitotoxic neuronal injury. The aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of NCS in the acute phase of children at a high risk for developing AESD and the relationship between NCS in the acute phase and neurological outcomes. METHODS: We studied 137 children with SICF at a high risk for developing AESD and who underwent continuous electroencephalogram monitoring (cEEG) upon admission to a tertiary pediatric care center at Hyogo Prefectural Kobe Children's Hospital between October 2007 and August 2018. Patient characteristics and outcomes were compared between patients with NCS and without NCS. RESULTS: Of the 137 children, NCS occurred in 30 children; the first NCS were detected in cEEG at the beginning in 63.3%, during the first hour in 90%, and within 12 h in 96.7%. Neurological sequelae were more common in NCS patients (20.0%) than in non-NCS patients (1.9%; p = 0.001). Five in 30 NCS patients (16.7%) and 3 in 107 non-NCS patients (2.8%) developed AESD (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION: The occurrence of NCS is associated with subsequent neurological sequelae, especially the development of AESD.Elsevier BV, Apr. 2021, Brain and Development, 43(4) (4), 548 - 555, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies in Kawasaki disease (KD) have suggested infectious aetiology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, measures for mitigating SARS-CoV-2 transmission also suppress the circulation of other contagious microorganisms. The primary objective is to compare the number and incidence of KD before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, and the secondary objective is to investigate temporal association between the KD epidemiology and activities of SARS-CoV-2 and other viral and bacterial infections. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2016 and 2020 in Kobe, Japan. We collected information of hospitalised KD children in Kobe. Child population was identified through the resident registry system. Activity of COVID-19 and 11 other infectious diseases was derived from a public health monitoring system. Monthly change of KD incidence was analysed using a difference-in-difference regression model. RESULTS: Throughout the study period, 1027 KD children were identified. KD had begun to decline in April 2020, coinciding with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of KD cases (n=66) between April and December 2020 was 40% of the average in the same period in 2016-2019 (165/year). Annual KD incidence was 315, 300, 353, 347 and 188/100 000 children aged 0-4 years in 2016-2020, respectively. The difference-in-difference value of KD incidence was significantly reduced in the fourth quarter in 2020 (-15.8, 95% CI -28.0 to -3.5), compared with that in 2016-2019. Sentinel surveillance showed a marked decrease of all infectious diseases except exanthema subitum after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were 86 COVID-19 cases aged <10 years and no KD children associated with COVID-19. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the number and incidence of KD was dramatically reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. This change was temporally associated with decreased activities of various infectious diseases other than COVID-19, supporting the hypothesis of infection-triggered pathogenesis in KD.Last, 2021, BMJ paediatrics open, 5(1) (1), e001034, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Patients with hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome (HSES) have a high early mortality rate, which may be caused by a 'cytokine storm'. However, there is little information on how cytokines and chemokines change over time in these patients. We aimed to describe the characteristics of HSES by examining changes in serum biomarker levels over time. Six patients with HSES were included. We retrospectively evaluated their clinical course and imaging/laboratory data. We measured serum levels of multiple cytokines [interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, interferon-gamma, and tumor necrosis factor alpha], chemokines (IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, interferon-inducible protein-10), and growth and differentiation factor (GDF)-15. The highest cytokine and chemokine levels were noted in the first 24 h, and decreased thereafter. The GDF-15 level was markedly high. Cytokine, chemokine, and GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in patients with HSES than in controls in the first 24 h, except for IL-2 and IL-4. Patients with HSES have high inflammatory cytokine and chemokine levels, a high GDF-15 level in the first 24 h, and high lactate levels. Our study provides new insights on the pathophysiology of HSES, a detailed clinical picture of patients with HSES, and potential biomarkers.Elsevier BV, Jan. 2021, Cytokine, 137, 155324 - 155324, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- BACKGROUND: In this study, we aimed to investigate the progression of peripheral nervous system involvement in xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XP-A). METHODS: We performed nerve conduction studies in 17 genetically confirmed XP-A patients and conducted follow-ups. Of these patients we also analyzed gray matter volume (GMV) using brain MRI and assessed the severity score of clinical and skin manifestation. RESULTS: We found significant reduction in the motor and sensory nerve action potential amplitude and mild reduction in conduction velocity. These findings were predominant in sensory nerves and the lower limbs, were observed since early childhood, and gradually deteriorated with age. CONCLUSIONS: The electrophysiological characteristics of XP-A patients are consistent with length-dependent axonal polyneuropathy and there is progressive deterioration from early childhood.Wiley, Oct. 2020, Muscle & Nerve, 62(4) (4), 534 - 540, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

Objective To investigate the prevalence of seizures/febrile seizures in children up to 3 years of age and examine the effects of gestational age at birth on the risk for febrile seizures.Design Retrospective longitudinal population-based cohort study.Setting Kobe City public health center , Kobe, Japan, from 2010 to 2018.Participants Children who underwent a medical check-up at 3 years of age.Methods Information regarding seizures was collected from the parents of 96 014 children. We identified the occurrence of seizure/febrile seizure in 74 017 children, whose gestational ages at birth were noted. We conducted a multivariate analysis with the parameter, gestational age at birth, to analyse the risk of seizure. We also stratified the samples by sex and birth weight (<2500 g or not) and compared the prevalence of seizure between those with the term and late preterm births.Results The prevalence of seizure was 12.1% (11.8%–12.3%), 13.2% (12.2%–14.4%), 14.6% (12.4%–17.7%) and 15.7% (10.5%–22.8%) in children born at 37–41, 34–36, 28–33 and 22–27 gestational weeks, respectively. The prevalence of febrile seizures was 9.0% (8.8%–9.2%), 10.5% (9.5%–11.5%), 11.8% (9.7%–14.5%) and 11.2% (6.9%–17.7%) in children born at 37–41, 34–36, 28–33 and 22–27 gestational weeks, respectively. Male was an independent risk factor for seizures (OR: 1.15, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.20; absolute risk increase 0.014, 95% CI 0.010 to 0.019) and febrile seizures (OR: 1.21, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.28; absolute risk increase 0.016, 95% CI 0.012 to 0.020), respectively. Late preterm birth was not associated with an increased risk of seizure/febrile seizure.Conclusions Although very preterm birth may increase the risk of seizure/febrile seizure, the risk associated with late preterm birth is considerably small and less than that associated with male.[Refereed]Scientific journal - PURPOSE: To evaluate barbiturate anaesthetic therapy using thiamylal for febrile refractory status epilepticus (fRSE) in children. METHODS: This was a review of a prospectively-collected database between April 2012-March 2016 for fRSE cases treated with thiamylal anaesthetic therapy in a single paediatric hospital in Japan. The sample comprised 23 children (median age, 23 months) with fRSE that underwent thiamylal anaesthetic therapy for convulsive seizures lasting longer than 60 min, sustained after intravenous administration of benzodiazepine and non-benzodiazepine anticonvulsants. The intervention comprised protocol-based thiamylal anaesthetic therapy with bolus administration. We measured the dose and time required to achieve the burst suppression pattern (BSP) on electroencephalography, seizure recurrence, death, neurological sequelae, and complications. RESULTS: All patients except one reached the BSP. The thiamylal median dose until reaching the BSP was 27.5 mg/kg, and the median time from thiamylal administration to reaching the BSP was 109.5 min. There was one case of immediate treatment failure and one of withdrawal seizure, but no breakthrough seizure. No deaths occurred during treatment, and neurological sequelae occurred in four cases (17%). Vasopressors were administered in all cases. Other complications included 11 cases of pneumonia and one of enterocolitis. CONCLUSION: We revealed the time and dose required to reach the BSP with thiamylal anaesthetic therapy using bolus administration in children. Our results suggested that reaching the BSP with bolus administration requires markedly less time than without bolus administration, rarely causes seizure recurrence in paediatric fRSE, and causes haemodynamic dysfunction and infections as often as observed without bolus administration.May 2020, Seizure, 80, 12 - 17, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy (FCMD), which is characterized by generalized muscle weakness, hypotonia, and motor delay during early infancy, gradually progresses with advanced age. Although acute rhabdomyolysis following infection in patients with FCMD has occasionally been reported, no studies have investigated rhabdomyolysis following viral infection in FCMD patients during early infancy. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 50-day-old girl with no apparent symptoms of muscular dystrophy who developed severe acute rhabdomyolysis caused by viral infection, resulting in quadriplegia and respiratory failure therefore requiring mechanical ventilation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging incidentally showed the typical characteristics of FCMD, and FCMD was confirmed by genetic analysis, which revealed a 3-kb retrotransposon insertion in one allele of the fukutin gene and a deep intronic splicing variant in intron 5 in another allele. The virus etiology was confirmed to be Coxsackie A4. CONCLUSION: We report a severe case of acute rhabdomyolysis with the earliest onset of symptoms due to the Coxsackie A4 virus in a patient with FCMD. The present findings indicate that physicians should consider FCMD with viral infection a differential diagnosis if the patient presents with acute rhabdomyolysis following a fever.Jan. 2020, Journal of infection and chemotherapy : official journal of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy, English, International magazine[Refereed]
- OBJECTIVE: Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is a syndrome characterized by biphasic seizures with impaired consciousness. AESD is rare outside Asia, and consecutive cohort studies are therefore scarce. Herein, we aimed to describe the detailed characteristics of AESD, including clinical course, electroencephalogram data, laboratory data, imaging findings, treatment, and outcomes. METHODS: We reviewed the clinical database and medical charts of 43 consecutive pediatric patients (<18 years old) who developed AESD between October 1, 2002, and September 30, 2019. RESULTS: We found that AESD occurred even though patients did not develop prolonged seizures. A comparison between the two groups (first seizure duration <30 min and first seizure duration ≥30 min) revealed three main findings: first, patients with AESD who had shorter seizures had better prognosis than those with prolonged seizures; second, patients with AESD who had shorter seizures tended to have earlier occurrence of a second seizure; and third, high signal intensity on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was observed mainly in frontal areas, not diffusely, in patients with shorter seizures, and in a broader area in patients with prolonged seizures. CONCLUSIONS: Our description of the detailed clinical picture of AESD may add new insight into its pathophysiology.Jan. 2020, Journal of the neurological sciences, 411, 116684 - 116684, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Fibrocartilaginous embolism is assumed to be caused by fibrocartilaginous nucleus pulposus component migration through retrograde embolization to the spinal cord artery. Fibrocartilaginous embolism is currently not well recognized among pediatricians because of its rarity. We describe a previously healthy 15-year-old soccer player who, after kicking a ball, developed progressive weakness in both legs and urinary retention the next day. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed T2 hyperintensity in the anterior horn of the spinal cord at the Th12/L1 level with Schmorl node at the level of L1/2. We also review the previous literature on fibrocartilaginous embolism of the spinal cord in children (less than18 years age); a total of 25 pediatric patients, including our patient, were identified. The median age was 14 years, and 64% of the reviewed patients were female. The most common trigger event was intense exercise or sports. The neurological symptoms started within one day in most cases, and the time to symptom peak varied from a few hours to two weeks. The most common initial neurological symptoms were weakness or plegia (100%), followed by paresthesia or numbness (48%). Affected areas of the spinal cord were distributed evenly from the cervical to thoracolumbar regions. Although steroids and anticoagulants were most commonly used, the prognosis was quite poor (mild to severe sequelae with three deaths). Although fibrocartilaginous embolism is a very rare condition, physicians should be aware of the characteristics and include fibrocartilaginous embolism of the spinal cord in their differential diagnosis, especially for physically active patients.Oct. 2019, Pediatric neurology, 99, 3 - 6, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Objective: Although the mortality among previously healthy children with acute encephalopathy (AE) is approximately 5%, their detailed clinical course has not been clarified. The objective of the present study was to describe the detailed clinical course, in minutes, of fatal AE. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of five patients (from 6 months to 14 years of age) who previously had no neurological disorders and were diagnosed with brain death due to AE between 2002 and 2018 at Kobe Children's Hospital. Results: The initial clinical symptoms were convulsion in three cases and impaired consciousness in two. The earliest noted brain imaging abnormality was 7.5 h after neurological symptom detection. Liver enzymes and creatinine levels increased at initial examination, and sodium elevated gradually. All patients met the criteria of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and shock within 14 h of symptom detection. High dose steroids and targeted temperature management were initiated 3.5-14 h after onset. Despite these therapies, patients were diagnosed with brain death from 16 h to 4 days after initial neurological symptoms. AE diagnoses were made between 4 h 29 min and 4 days after initial neurological symptoms and included hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndromes, Reye-like syndrome, and acute necrotizing encephalopathy in two, two, and one patient(s), respectively. Conclusions: We revealed the time series' of clinical events (e.g. SIRS, shock, DIC, AE diagnosis, brain death, and treatments) and laboratory findings relative to initial neurological symptom in fatal AE.

- BACKGROUND: Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is necessary for noninvasive management of respiratory clearance in patients with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). Its utility has been proven, and the technique is recommended in a number of international guidelines for the management of patients with NMDs. However, the clearance of thick secretions adhering to the tracheobronchial walls could be problematic when these patients suffer from respiratory tract infections. To improve the effectiveness of the noninvasive technique, a novel device combining MI-E with high frequency oscillation (HFO) has been developed. However, the efficacy of HFO therapy in NMDs has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of MI-E combined with HFO for mucus removal in NMD patients. To evaluate its efficacy, changes in transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2), which may predict intratracheal mucus removal, will be measured before and after use of MI-E. METHODS: This is a single-center, nonblinded, nonrandomized prospective study that will enroll 5 subjects hospitalized in Kobe University Hospital owing to respiratory tract infection. All subjects will receive MI-E therapy a few times daily and will receive HFO every other day, for 6 days. Before and after MI-E use, SpO2 will be obtained and the change in SpO2 (ΔSpO2) between MI-E with and without HFO will be calculated. For every subject, the average of ΔSpO2 with or without HFO will be obtained and the null hypothesis that there is a mean change of 0 in the SpO2 between MI-E with and without HFO will be tested using the paired t test. If the treatment with HFO is found to be statistically significantly superior to the treatment without HFO, the study will conclude that HFO addition is more efficacious than no HFO addition. RESULTS: A total of 2 subjects have already been recruited and enrolled in this study as of August 2018. CONCLUSIONS: This unique protocol will assess the efficacy of adding HFO to MI-E during the acute phase of respiratory tract infection in patients with NMDs.

- The detailed clinical time course in acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) from initial symptoms, through exacerbation, to remission has not been widely reported. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the clinical time course of pediatric ADEM. This was a multicenter retrospective study based on registry data from medical chart reviews. The study included children who met the international consensus diagnostic criteria for ADEM. The patients comprised 18 boys and 6 girls, with a mean age of 5.5 ± 3.3 years at onset. From onset, the time until peak neurological symptoms, time until initial improvement, and time until full recovery was 3.1 ± 3.7 days, 6.0 ± 4.5 days, and 26 ± 34 days, respectively. Twenty-three (96%) patients were treated with high-dose methylprednisolone (mPSL) with a mean duration of 4.1 ± 4.0 days from onset. The condition of 15 patients (65%) improved within 3 days of high-dose mPSL initiation, whereas, that of four patients began to improve after >5 days of high-dose mPSL initiation. Only one patient (4%) did not achieve full recovery despite treatment with high-dose mPSL, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. This study presents the detailed clinical time course in pediatric ADEM in Japan. Progression of neurologic deficits typically lasts a few days, with initial improvement in 1 week leading to full recovery within 1 month.Jun. 2019, Brain & development, 41(6) (6), 531 - 537, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Background: Seizures and/or impaired consciousness accompanied by fever without known etiology (SICF) is common in the pediatric emergency setting. No optimal strategy for the management of SICF in childhood currently exists. We previously demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted temperature management (TTM) against SICF with a high risk of morbidity; however, some patients with SICF develop neurological sequelae despite TTM, which necessitate additional neuroprotective treatment. The clinical characteristics of these severe cases have not been studied. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to identify the clinical characteristics of children with SICF who exhibit poor outcomes after TTM. Methods: The medical records of children admitted to Kobe Children's Hospital (Kobe, Japan) between October 2002 and September 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with SICF treated using TTM were included and divided into the satisfactory and poor outcome groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compare clinical characteristics and laboratory findings between the two groups. Results: Of the 73 included children, 10 exhibited poor outcomes. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that acute circulatory failure before TTM initiation, the use of four or more types of anticonvulsants, methylprednisolone pulse therapy, and an aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level ≥73 IU/L were associated with poor outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified an elevated AST level as a significant independent predictor of a poor outcome. Conclusions: An elevated AST level within 12 h of onset in children with SICF is an independent predictor of a poor outcome after TTM initiated within 24 h of onset.Mar. 2019, Brain Dev, 41(7) (7), 604 - 613, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Although previous studies have investigated the influence of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) on lipid profiles and thyroid hormone levels, there is little evidence regarding the effects of levetiracetam (LEV). Therefore, we conducted a prospective longitudinal study to evaluate the effects of LEV and carbamazepine (CBZ) treatment on lipid profile and thyroid hormone levels in patients newly diagnosed with epilepsy. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) age between 4 and 15 years, (b) diagnosis of epilepsy with at least two focal seizures within a year, and (c) newly treated with LEV or CBZ monotherapy. Serum lipid profile and thyroid hormone levels were measured before and after 1 and 6 months of AED initiation. Among the 21 included patients (LEV: 13 patients, CBZ: 8 patients), all but one patient in the LEV group continued AED monotherapy during the study period. Although triglyceride (TG) levels tended to be increased in the CBZ group (baseline: 58.3 ± 22.0 mg/dl, 1 month: 63.8 ± 21.6 mg/dl, 6 months: 92.3 ± 63.6 mg/dl, p = 0.22, analyses of variance (ANOVA)), there were no significant changes in total cholesterol (TC), TG levels, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in either group. Serum free thyroxine (fT4) levels were significantly decreased in the CBZ group (baseline: 1.15 ± 0.06 ng/dl, 1 month: 1.00 ± 0.16 ng/dl, 6 months: 0.98 ± 0.14 ng/dl, p = 0.03, ANOVA). In contrast, there were no significant changes in fT4 or thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in the LEV group. The results of the present study suggest that LEV monotherapy does not affect lipid profile or thyroid function while CBZ monotherapy may cause thyroid dysfunction.Jan. 2019, Epilepsy & behavior : E&B, 90, 15 - 19, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Fosphenytoin (fPHT) and continuous intravenous midazolam (cMDL) had commonly been used as second-line treatments for pediatric status epilepticus (SE) in Japan. However, there is no comparative study of these two treatments. METHODS: We included consecutive children who 1) were admitted to Kobe Children's Hospital because of convulsion with fever and 2) were treated with either fPHT or cMDL as second-line treatment for convulsive SE lasting for longer than 30 min. We compared, between the fPHT and cMDL groups, the proportion of barbiturate coma therapy (BCT), incomplete recovery of consciousness, mechanical ventilation, and inotropic agents. RESULTS: The proportion of BCT was not significantly different between the two groups (48.7% [20/41] in fPHT and 35.3% [29/82] in cMDL, p = 0.17). The prevalence of incomplete recovery of consciousness, mechanical ventilation, and inotropic agents was not different between the two groups. After excluding 49 patients treated with BCT, incomplete recovery of consciousness 6 h and 12 h after onset was more frequent in the cMDL group than in the fPHT group (71.7% vs. 33.3%, p < 0.01; 56.6% vs. 14.2%, p < 0.01; respectively). Mechanical ventilation was more frequent in the cMDL group than in the fPHT group (32.0% vs. 4.7%, p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that 1) the efficacy of fPHT and cMDL is similar, although cMDL may prevent the need for BCT compared with fPHT, and 2) fPHT is relatively safe as a second-line treatment for pediatric SE in patients who do not require BCT.Nov. 2018, Brain & development, 40(10) (10), 884 - 890, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- BACKGROUND: Children who present with seizure and/or impaired consciousness accompanied by fever without known etiology (SICF) may be diagnosed with either acute encephalopathy (AE) or febrile seizure (FS). Although approximately 5% of AE cases are fatal, it is difficult to identify fatal cases among children with SICF, which are often critical by the time of diagnosis. Thus, early prediction of outcomes for children with SICF, prior to diagnosis, may help to reduce mortality associated with AE. The aim of the present study was to identify clinical and laboratory risk factors for mortality acquired within 6 h of onset among children with SICF. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of children who had been admitted to Kobe Children's Hospital (Kobe, Japan) with SICF between October 2002 and September 2015. We compared clinical and laboratory characteristics acquired within 6 h of onset and outcomes between survivors and non-survivors using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: The survivor and non-survivor groups included 659 and nine patients, respectively. All patients in the non-survivor group received a final diagnosis of AE. Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the groups with regard to seizure duration and the following laboratory parameters: aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, sodium, and lactate. The multivariate analysis identified AST as a significant independent factor associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Elevation of AST within 6 h of onset is independently correlated with mortality in children with SICF. Our result may elucidate earlier intervention for patients with high risk of mortality.Aug. 2018, Brain & development, 40(7) (7), 552 - 557, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Association of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection with autism spectral disorder (ASD) has been suggested since 1980s. Despite the observed association, its role as a risk factor for ASD remains to be defined. In the present review, we systematically evaluated the available evidence associating congenital CMV infection with ASD using PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases. Any studies on children with CMV infection and ASD were evaluated for eligibility and three observational studies were included in meta-analysis. Although a high prevalence of congenital CMV infection in ASD cases (OR 11.31, 95% CI 3.07-41.66) was indicated, too few events (0-2 events) in all included studies imposed serious limitations. There is urgent need for further studies to clarify this issue.May 2018, Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 48(5) (5), 1483 - 1491, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Objectives To identify clinical features that predict Group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis in a Japanese paediatric primary emergency medical centre. Methods The prevalence of GAS pharyngitis according to age and body temperature (BT) was calculated among 3098 paediatric patients with pharyngitis. The numbers of GAS-positive and -negative patients for each clinical parameter, and each point increase in the McIsaac score were compared and likelihood ratios (LRs) were calculated. Results The prevalence of GAS pharyngitis was extremely low in patients aged < 1 (1.2%) and 1 year (3.9%). The GAS-positive rate was significantly higher in patients with a BT < 38.0°C compared with ≥ 38.0°C (30.0% vs. 19.8%). A BT ≥ 38.0°C was not a predictive finding for GAS pharyngitis (positive LR: 0.82). Rash was the most useful individual predictor, and a McIsaac score of 4 or 5 increased the probability; however, the positive LRs were 1.74 and 1.30, respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of GAS pharyngitis is extremely low in patients aged < 1 and 1 year, and a BT ≥ 38.0°C is not a predictive symptom. Although a rash and McIsaac score of 4 or 5 are associated with an increased probability, they cannot be used to confirm GAS infection.Lead, May 2018, The Journal of international medical research, 46(5) (5), 1791 - 1800, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal
- Several studies describing the diurnal occurrence of febrile seizures have reported greater seizure frequency early or late in the evening relative to midnight or early morning. However, no articles have reported on the diurnal occurrence of complex febrile seizure. Moreover, no studies have addressed the relationship between seizure severity and diurnal occurrence. We retrospectively evaluated complex febrile seizures in 462 children needing hospitalization, and investigated the relationship between severity and diurnal occurrence according to four categorized time periods (morning, afternoon, evening, and night). Our study showed that complex febrile seizures occurred most often in the evening, peaking around 18:00 (18:00-18:59), and least often at night (02:00-02:59). In addition, the frequency with which patients developed status epilepticus or needed anticonvulsant treatments was also lower during the night. However, the seizure duration and the proportion of the patients who needed anticonvulsant treatment were the same among the four time periods. Furthermore, we compared three subclasses (repeated episodes of convulsions, focal seizures, and prolonged seizures (≧15min)), two of the complex features (focal seizures and prolonged seizures), and all complex features among the four time periods. However, they were the same among the four time periods. Taken together, our data indicate that although the severity of seizures was stable over a 24-hour period, the occurrence of seizures in our cohort of pediatric patients with complex febrile seizures requiring hospitalization was highest in the evening and lowest at night.Mar. 2018, Epilepsy & behavior : E&B, 80, 280 - 284, English, International magazine[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Objectives This study aimed to verify the screening performance of our clinical prediction rule for neurological sequelae due to acute encephalopathy (NSAE-CPR), which previously identified the following three variables as predictive of poor outcomes: (1) refractory status epilepticus; (2) consciousness disturbance and/or hemiplegia at 6 hours from onset and (3) aspartate aminotransferase >90 IU/L within 6 hours of onset. Design Medical community-based multicentre retrospective cohort study. Setting Six regional hospitals in Harima and one tertiary centre in Kobe, Japan, from 2008 to 2012. Participants We enrolled a total of 1612 patients aged <16 years who met the diagnostic criteria for an initial diagnosis of complex febrile seizure. Patients with a history of neurological disease and those included in the derivation cohort were excluded. Primary outcome measures Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the association between each of the three predictor variables and poor AE outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score ≥2). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was also performed to assess the screening performance of the NSAE-CPR. Results The ROC analysis identified at least one of the three predictive variables as an optimal cut-off point, with an area under the curve of 0.915 (95% CI 0.825 to 1.000). The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, positive and negative likelihood ratios and Matthews correlation coefficient were 0.867, 0.954, 0.149, 0.999, 18.704, 0.140 and 0.349, respectively. Conclusions Our findings indicate that the NSAE-CPR can be used for the screening and identification of patients with poor outcomes due to acute encephalopathy within 6 hours of onset.BMJ Publishing Group, Nov. 2017, BMJ Open, 7(11) (11), e016675 - e016675, English[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Hemimegalencephaly is a congenital brain malformation often accompanied by symptomatic epilepsy. In patients with refractory epilepsy onset during the neonatal period, psychomotor developmental delay tends to progress. We here report a newborn case who presented with seizure on day 3 of life and was diagnosed as left hemimegalencephaly via head magnetic resonance imaging on day 7 of life. Despite treatment with multiple antiepileptic drugs, including phenobarbital, levetiracetam, and lacosamide, clinical seizures and epileptic discharges on electroencephalogram(EEG)persisted. Slow wave activity in the background EEG of the unaffected hemisphere also progressed. To control the refractory epilepsy, a hemispherectomy was performed at 5 months of age. Following this, the frequency of seizure decreased, and the background EEG activity of the unaffected hemisphere normalized with single-drug therapy using levetiracetam. Her psychomotor developmental resumed. This report details the changes in clinical symptoms and EEG findings from the neonatal to the infancy period. We emphasize the importance of not only early diagnosis in the perinatal period but also subsequent epilepsy treatment in collaboration with neurologists and neurosurgeons in managing hemimegalencephaly.Japan Society of Perinatal and Neonatal Medicine, May 2025, Journal of Japan Society of Perinatal and Neonatal Medicine, 61(1) (1), 152 - 157, Japanese

- Recently, encephalitis associated with antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), which presents in the cytoskeleton of astrocytes, has been proposed as a new disease. Although it presents with characteristic imaging findings of subacute meningoencephalitis and meningoencephalomyelitis, most patients are adult. In recent years, pediatric patients have been reported from foreign countries ; however, only one case has been reported from Japan. Our patient was a 5-year 8-month-old boy. He had no previous medical history and presented with prolonged fever, meningeal irritation, and altered consciousness. Despite an elevated cerebrospinal fluid cell count, infection was ruled out. Inflammatory demyelinating disease was suspected and the patient was started on steroid pulse therapy. The disturbance of consciousness improved after the start of treatment. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed high spotty and linear signals in the periventricular white matter and corpus callosum bilaterally ; additionally, positive spinal fluid anti-GFAP antibodies led to the diagnosis of GFAP astrocytopathy. Furthermore, serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody and serum anti-aquaporin 4 antibody were negative. The patient underwent a total of three courses of steroid pulses and was discharged from the hospital without sequelae. Prednisolone was tapered off over a period of approximately 8 months without any recurrence. Autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy might not be rare in Japan, it may remain undiagnosed. Therefore, it should be suspected in children with steroid-responsive meningoencephalitis or meningoencephalomyelitis, or in patients of central inflammatory diseases with characteristic imaging findings.The Japanese Society of Child Neurology, Nov. 2023, NO TO HATTATSU, 55(6) (6), 438 - 442, Japanese

- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have considerable therapeutic potential and attract increasing interest in the biomedical field. MSCs are originally isolated and characterized from bone marrow (BM), then acquired from tissues including adipose tissue, synovium, skin, dental pulp, and fetal appendages such as placenta, umbilical cord blood (UCB), and umbilical cord (UC). MSCs are a heterogeneous cell population with the capacity for (1) adherence to plastic in standard culture conditions, (2) surface marker expression of CD73+/CD90+/CD105+/CD45-/CD34-/CD14-/CD19-/HLA-DR- phenotypes, and (3) trilineage differentiation into adipocytes, osteocytes, and chondrocytes, as currently defined by the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT). Although BM is the most widely used source of MSCs, the invasive nature of BM aspiration ethically limits its accessibility. Proliferation and differentiation capacity of MSCs obtained from BM generally decline with the age of the donor. In contrast, fetal MSCs obtained from UC have advantages such as vigorous proliferation and differentiation capacity. There is no ethical concern for UC sampling, as it is typically regarded as medical waste. Human UC starts to develop with continuing growth of the amniotic cavity at 4-8 weeks of gestation and keeps growing until reaching 50-60 cm in length, and it can be isolated during the whole newborn delivery period. To gain insight into the pathophysiology of intractable diseases, we have used UC-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) from infants delivered at various gestational ages. In this protocol, we describe the isolation and characterization of UC-MSCs from fetuses/infants at 19-40 weeks of gestation.26 Jan. 2019, Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE, 143(143) (143), e58806, English, International magazine[Refereed]Introduction scientific journal

- Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia is a rare disorder, characterized by recurrent and brief attacks of involuntary movements such as choreoathetosis and dystonia, triggered by sudden movements. A 12-year-old boy presented with paroxysmal episodes,which occurred mainly on the left upper limb. His involuntary movements consisted of chorea, athetosis, and dystonia, but were not accompanied by impaired consciousness, and spontaneously disappeared within 1 minute. In the intermittent phase of the attack, we observed no physical abnormalities and altered laboratory findings. Symptoms disappeared promptly after starting carbamazepine therapy. This disease responds well to medication. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of this disease, to avoid misdiagnosing it as a psychogenic reaction or tic.Kobe City Hospital Organization, 2018, KOBE CITY HOSPITAL BULLETIN, 57, 7 - 11, Japanese
