We previously revealed the prevalence of strabismus and amblyopia in elementary school children between 6 and 12 years of age in Japan in the year 2003. Questionnaires asking the number of children...
Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Syndrome in Two Patients with Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (2008)
Matsuo, Toshihiko, Masuda, Ikuya, Ota, Kosuke, Yamadori, Ichiro, Sunami, Reiko, Nose, Soichiro
We describe herein 2 patients who developed Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome in the course of renal biopsy-proven immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. A 61-year-old man with an 11-year history of IgA...

Retinal cells from chick embryos aged 7.5 days of gestation were cultured for two months in a non-adherent suspension culture dish to study the effects of growth factors and co-culture with retinal...
Reconstruction of trabecular tissue from human trabecular cells as a multicellular spheroid (2007)
Matsuo, Toshihiko, Matsuo, Nobuhiko
To understand the development of the trabecular meshwork of the eye, floating cellular aggregates (multicellular spheroids) were formed from human trabecular cells in a non-adherent environment of...

All children at the age of 1.5 and 3 years in Japan undergo physical, mental, and developmental checkups including dental, eye, and hearing examinations. The vision-screening program consists of 3...
Expression of amiloride-sensitive sodium channel in rat eye. (2007)
To study the expression of the amiloride-sensitive sodium channel, a putative mechano-receptor in the rat eye, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization were done. The...

To test transdifferentiation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in suspension culture, chick embryonic RPE sheets and dissociated RPE cells were cultured for two months in a non-adherent dish...
ARIX and PHOX2B polymorphisms in patients with congenital superior oblique muscle palsy. (2006)
Jiang, Yan, Matsuo, Toshihiko, Fujiwara, Hirotake, Hasebe, Satoshi, Ohtsuki, Hiroshi, Yasuda, Tatsuji
To identify ARIX gene and PHOX2B gene polymorphisms in patients with congenital superior oblique muscle palsy, 3 exons of the ARIX gene and PHOX2B gene were sequenced by genomic DNA amplification...
A simple method for screening photoelectric dyes towards their use for retinal prostheses. (2006)
Photoelectric dyes absorb light and convert photon energy to electric potentials. To test whether these dyes could be used for retinal prostheses, a simple in vitro screening system was developed....

Fujiwara, Hirotake, Matsuo, Toshihiko, Sato, Masako, Yamane, Takashi, Kitada, Mizue, Hasebe, Satoshi, ...
The purpose of this study was to search for chromosomal susceptibility loci for comitant strabismus. Genomic DNA was isolated from 10mL blood taken from each member of 30 nuclear families in which 2...
Disappearance of diabetic macular hard exudates after hemodialysis introduction. (2006)
We report herein the disappearance of macular hard exudates after the introduction of hemodialysis in diabetic patients. A 62-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man with diabetes mellitus showed hard...
Body sway increases immediately after strabismus surgery. (2006)
Matsuo, Toshihiko, Narita, Akiko, Senda, Masuo, Hasebe, Satoshi, Ohtsuki, Hiroshi
The purposes of this study were to examine whether body sway is altered immediately after strabismus surgery in children and to find preoperative clinical factors associated with body sway. In a...

Kurauchi, Tomomi, Yokota, Kenji, Matsuo, Toshihiko, Fujinami, Yoshihito, Isogai, Emiko, Isogai, Hiroshi, ...
Immune reactions against microorganisms play an important pathogenic role in Adamantiades-Behçet's disease (ABD). We had previously obtained Streptococcus sanguinis (strain BD113-20) isolated from...
IND-CCA Public Key Schemes Equivalent to Factoring (2001)
Kaoru Kurosawa, Wakaha Ogata, Toshihiko Matsuo, Shuichi Makishima
Indistinguishability against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack (IND-CCA2) is the strongest notion for security of public key schemes. In this paper, we present the first IND-CCA2 schemes whose...
