| 1 | Concordance of non-invasive mechanical and serum tests for liver fibrosis evaluation in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM To determine the sensitivity and specificity of liver stiffness measurement(LSM) and serum markers(SM) for liver fibrosis evaluation in chronic hepatitis C.METHODS Between 2012 and 2014,81 consecutive hepatitis C virus(HCV) patients had METAVIR score from liver biopsy compared with concurrent results from LSM [transient elastography(TE) [FibroS can~/ARFI technology(Virtual Touch~)] and SM [FIB-4/aspartate aminotransferase-toplatelet ratio index(APRI)].The diagnostic performance of these tests was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves.The optimal cut-off levels of each test were chosen to define fibrosis stages F ≥ 2,F ≥ 3 and F = 4.The Kappa index set the concordance analysis.RESULTS Fifty point six percent were female and the median age was 51 years(30-78).Fifty-six patients(70%) weretreatment-na?ve.The optimal cut-off values for predicting F ≥ 2 stage fibrosis assessed by TE were 6.6 kP a,for acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI) 1.22 m/s,for APRI 0.75 and for FIB-4 1.47.For F ≥ 3 TE was 8.9 kP a,ARFI was 1.48 m/s,APRI was 0.75,and FIB-4 was 2.For F = 4,TE was 12.2 kP a,ARFI was 1.77 m/s,APRI was 1.46,and FIB-4 was 3.91.The APRI could not distinguish between F2 and F3,P = 0.92.The negative predictive value for F = 4 for TE and ARFI was 100%.Kappa index values for F ≥ 3 METAVIR score for TE,ARFI and FIB-4 were 0.687,0.606 and 0.654,respectively.This demonstrates strong concordance between all three screening methods,and moderate to strong concordance between them and APRI(Kappa index = 0.507).CONCLUSION Given the costs and accessibility of LSM methods,and the similarity with the outcomes of SM,we suggest that FIB-4 as well as TE and ARFI may be useful indicators of the degree of liver fibrosis.This is of particular importance to developing countries. | Denise C Paranaguá-Vezozzo Adriana Andrade Daniel F C Mazo Vinicius Nunes Ana L Guedes Taisa G Ragazzo Renata Moutinho Lucas S Nacif Suzane K Ono Venancio A F Alves Flair J Carrilho | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,8: | 7 |
| 2 | Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Treatment hurdles, tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy显示文摘Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC)is one of the most lethal diseases,with an average 5-year survival rate of less than 10%.Unfortunately,the majority of patients have unresectable,locally advanced,or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.Moreover,traditional treatments such as chemotherapy,surgery,and radiation have not been shown to significantly improve survival.Recently,there has been a swift increase in cancer treatments that incorporate immunotherapybased strategies to target all the stepwise events required for tumor initiation and progression.The results in melanoma,non-small-cell lung cancer and renal cell carcinoma are very encouraging.Unfortunately,the application of checkpoint inhibitors,including anti-CTLA4,anti-PD-1,and anti-PD-L1 antibodies,in pancreatic cancer has been disappointing.Many studies have revealed that the PDAC microenvironment supports tumor growth,promotes metastasis and consists of a physical barrier to drug delivery.Combination therapies hold great promise for enhancing immune responses to achieve a better therapeutic effect.In this review,we provide an outline of why pancreatic cancer is so lethal and of the treatment hurdles that exist.Particular emphasis is given to the role of the tumor microenvironment,and some of the latest and most promising studies on immunotherapy in PDAC are also presented. | Panagiotis Sarantis Evangelos Koustas Adriana Papadimitropoulou Athanasios G Papavassiliou Michalis V Karamouzis | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2020,12,2: | 4 |
| 3 | Celiac disease serology in patients with different pretest probabilities: Is biopsy avoidable?显示文摘AIM: To establish the diagnostic performance of sev-eral serological tests, individually and in combination, for diagnosing celiac disease (CD) in patients with different pretest probabilities, and to explore potential se- rological algorithms to reduce the necessity for biopsy. METHODS: We prospectively performed duodenal biopsy and serology in 679 adults who had either high risk (n = 161) or low risk (n = 518) for CD. Blood samples were tested using six assays (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) that detected antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP). RESULTS: CD prevalence was 39.1% in the high-risk population and 3.3% in the low-risk group. In high-risk patients, all individual assays had a high diagnostic efficacy [area under receiving operator characteristic curves (AU ROC): 0.968 to 0.999]. In contrast, assays had a lower diagnostic efficacy (AU ROC: 0.835 to 0.972) in the low-risk group. Using assay combinations, it would be possible to reach or rule out diagnosis of CD without biopsy in 92% of cases in both pretest populations. We observed that the new DGP/tTG Screen assay resulted in a surplus compared to more conventional assays in any clinical situation. CONCLUSION: The DGP/tTG Screen assay could be considered as the best initial test for CD. Combinations of two tests, including a DGP/tTG Screen, might be able to diagnose CD accurately in different clinical scenarios making biopsy avoidable in a high proportion of subjects. | Emilia Sugai María L Moreno Hui J Hwang Ana Cabanne Adriana Crivelli Fabio Nach-man Horacio Vázquez Sonia Niveloni Julio Argonz Roberto Mazure Graciela La Motta María E Caniggia Edgardo Smecuol Néstor Chopita Juan C Gómez Eduardo Maurińo Julio C Bai | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,25: | 4 |
| 4 | Immunohistochemical study of the digestive tract of Oligosarcus hepsetus显示文摘AIM: To describe the histology of the digestive tract and to investigate the occurrence of endocrine cells in Oligosarcus hepsetus (O. hepsetus ). METHODS: The digestive tract (DT) of O. hepsetus was divided into esophagus, two stomach regions (glandular and non-glandular) and two intestinal regions (anterior and posterior). These specimens were processed by routine histological techniques and stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Gomori's trichrome, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) and Alcian blue (AB). An immunohistochemical method using avidin-biotin-peroxidase was employed.RESULTS: The esophagus is lined with a non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium that is reactive to PAS and AB. The stomach has a mucosa lined with a simple columnar epithelium with mucus-secreting cells that are reactive only to PAS. The intestine has a simple columnar epithelium with a brush border and goblet cells that are reactive to PAS and AB. Somatostatin, serotonin and cholecystokinin immunoreactive cells were identified throughout the DT.CONCLUSION: This study revealed adaptations for the species' diet and showed that the distribution and relative frequency of immunoreactive cells are similar to those of other fish. | Danielle A Vieira-Lopes Nadja L Pinheiro Armando Sales Adriana Ventura Francisco G Araújo Iracema D Gomes Aparecida A Nascimento | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,12: | 2 |

| 20 | Risk of fracture in celiac disease:Gender,dietary compliance,or both?显示文摘AIM:To determine the incidence of peripheral fractures in patients with celiac disease (CD) and the effect of treatment on fracture risk.METHODS:We compared the incidence and risk of peripheral fractures before and after diagnosis between a cohort of 265 patients who had been diagnosed with CD at least 5 years before study entry and a cohort of 530 age-and sex-matched controls who had been diagnosed with functional gastrointestinal disorders.Data were collected through in-person interviews with an investigator.The overall assessment window for patients was 9843 patient-years (2815 patient-years after diagnosis).RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the CD cohort showed significantly higher incidence rate and risk of first peripheral fracture before diagnosis [adjusted hazard ratio (HR):1.78,95% CI:1.23-2.56,P < 0.002] and in men (HR:2.67,95% CI:1.37-5.22,P < 0.004).Fracture risk was significantly associated with the classic CD presentation with gastrointestinal symptoms (P < 0.003).In the time period after diagnosis,the risk of fractures was comparable between the CD cohort and controls in both sexes (HR:1.08,95% CI:0.55-2.10 for women;HR:1.57,95% CI:0.57-4.26 for men).CONCLUSION:CD patients have higher prevalence of fractures in the peripheral skeleton before diagnosis.This is associated with male sex and classic clinical presentation.The fracture risk was reduced after the treatment. | María Inés Pinto Sánchez Adriana Mohaidle Andrea Baistrocchi Dolores Matoso Horacio Vázquez Andrea González Roberto Mazure Evangelina Maffei Guillermina Ferrari Edgardo Smecuol Adriana Crivelli Juan Andrés de Paula Juan C Gómez Silvia Pedreira Eduardo Maurio Julio César Bai | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,25: | 1 |
