| 1 | Imaging and radiological interventions in extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction显示文摘Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction(EHPVO) is a primary vascular condition characterized by chronic long standing blockage and cavernous transformation of portal vein with or without additional involvement of intrahepatic branches, splenic or superior mesenteric vein. Patients generally present in childhood with multiple episodes of variceal bleed and EHPVO is the predominant cause of paediatric portal hypertension(PHT) in developing countries. It is a pre-hepatic type of PHT in which liver functions and morphology are preserved till late. Characteristic imaging findings include multiple parabiliary venous collaterals which form to bypass the obstructed portal vein with resultant changes in biliary tree termed portal biliopathy or portal cavernoma cholangiopathy. Ultrasound with Doppler, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiography and magnetic resonance portovenography are non-invasive techniques which can provide a comprehensive analysis of degree and extent of EHPVO, collaterals and bile duct abnormalities. These can also be used to assess in surgical planning as well screening for shunt patency in post-operative patients. The multitude of changes and complications seen in EHPVO can be addressed by various radiological interventional procedures. The myriad of symptoms arising secondary to vascular, biliary, visceral and neurocognitive changes in EHPVO can be managed by various radiological interventions like transjugular intra-hepatic portosystemic shunt, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, partial splenic embolization, balloon occluded retrograde obliteration of portosystemic shunt(PSS) and revision of PSS. | Sudheer S Pargewar Saloni N Desai S Rajesh Vaibhav P Singh Ankur Arora Amar Mukund | 2016 | World Journal of Radiology2016,8,6: | 8 |
| 2 | Embolization of splenorenal shunt associated to portal vein thrombosis and hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘Hepatic encephalopathy(HE)is a cognitive disturbance characterized by neuropsychiatric alterations.It occurs in acute and chronic hepatic disease and also in patients with portosystemic shunts.The presence of these portosystemic shunts allows the passage of nitrogenous substances from the intestines through systemic veins without liver depuration.Therefore,the embolization of these shunts has been performed tocontrol HE manifestations,but the presence of portal vein thrombosis is considered a contraindication.In this presentation we show a cirrhotic patient with severe HE and portal vein thrombosis who was submitted to embolization of a large portosystemic shunt.Case report:a 57 years-old cirrhotic patient who had been hospitalized many times for persistent HE and hepatic coma,even without precipitant factors.She had a wide portosystemic shunt and also portal vein thrombosis.The abdominal angiography confirmed the splenorenal shunt and showed other shunts.The larger shunt was embolized through placement of microcoils,and the patient had no recurrence of overt HE.There was a little increase of esophageal and gastric varices,but no endoscopic treatment was needed.Since portosystemic shunts are frequent causes of recurrent HE in cirrhotic patients,portal vein thrombosis should be considered a relative contraindication to perform a shunt embolization.However,in particular cases with many shunts and severe HE,we found that one of these shunts can be safely embolized and this procedure can be sufficient to obtain a good HE recovery.In conclusion,we reported a case of persistent HE due to a wide portosystemic shunt associated with portal vein thrombosis.As the patient had other shunts,she was successfully treated by embolization of the larger shunt. | Letícia de Campos Franzoni Fábio Cardoso de Carvalho Rafael Gomes de Almeida Garzon Fábio da Silva Yamashiro Laís Augusti Lívia Alves Amaral Santos Mariana de Souza Dorna Júlio Pinheiro Baima Talles Bazeia Lima Carlos Antonio Caramori Giovanni Faria Silva Fernando Gomes Romeiro | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,42: | 6 |
| 3 | CT patterns of nodal disease in pediatric chest tuberculosis显示文摘AIM:To highlight various patterns of nodal involvement and post treatment changes in pediatric chest tuberculosis based on contrast enhanced computed tomography(CECT) scans of chest.METHODS:This was a retrospective study consisting of 91 patients aged less than 17 years,who attended Paediatrics OPD of All India Institute of Medical Sciences with clinically diagnosed tuberculosis or with chest radiographs suggestive of chest tuberculosis.These patients had an initial chest radiograph as well as CECT of the chest and follow up imaging after 6 mo,and in some cases 9 mo,of completion of anti-tubercular treatment(ATT).CECT of these patients was reviewed for the location and extent of nodal involvement along with determination of site,size,enhancement pattern and calcification.RESULTS:Enlargement of mediastinal or hilar lymph nodes was found in 88/91 patients(96.7%),with the most common locations being paratracheal(84.1%),and subcarinal(76.1%).The most common pattern of enhancement was found to be inhomogenous.The nodes were conglomerate in 56.8% and discrete in 43.2%.In addition,perinodal fat was obscured in 84.1% of patients.In the post-treatment scan,there was 87.4% reduction in the size of the nodes.All nodes post-treatment were discrete and homogenous with perinodal fat present.Calcification was found both pre-and post-treatment,but there was an increase in incidence after treatment(41.7%).There was hence a reduction in size,change in enhancement pattern,and appearance of perinodal fat with treatment.CONCLUSION:Tubercular nodes have varied appearance and enhancement pattern.Conglomeration and obscuration of perinodal fat suggest activity.In residual nodes decision to continue ATT requires clinical correlation. | Amar Mukund Rashmi Khurana Ashu S Bhalla Arun K Gupta Sushil K Kabra | 2011 | World Journal of Radiology2011,3,1: | 5 |
| 4 | Inflammatory bowel disease:Therapeutic limitations and prospective of the stem cell therapy显示文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),consisting primarily of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease,is a group of debilitating auto-immune disorders,which also increases the risk of colitis-associated cancer.However,due to the chronic nature of the disease and inconsistent treatment outcomes of current anti-IBD drugs(e.g.,approximately 30%non-responders to anti-TNFαagents),and related serious side effects,about half of all IBD patients(in millions)turn to alternative treatment options.In this regard,mucosal healing is gaining acceptance as a measure of disease activity in IBD patients as recent studies have correlated the success of mucosal healing with improved prognosis.However,despite the increasing clinical realization of the significance of the concept of mucosal healing,its regulation and means of therapeutic targeting remain largely unclear.Here,stemcell therapy,which uses hematopoietic stem cells or mesenchymal stem cells,remains a promising option.Stem cells are the pluripotent cells with ability to differentiate into the epithelial and/or immune-modulatory cells.The overreaching concept is that the stem cells can migrate to the damaged areas of the intestine to provide curative help in the mucosal healing process.Moreover,by differentiating into the mature intestinal epithelial cells,the stem cells also help in restoring the barrier integrity of the intestinal lining and hence prevent the immunomodulatory induction,the root cause of the IBD.In this article,we elaborate upon the current status of the clinical management of IBD and potential role of the stem cell therapy in improving IBD therapy and patient’s quality of life. | Rangnath Mishra Punita Dhawan Anand S Srivastava Amar B Singh | 2020 | World Journal of Stem Cells2020,12,10: | 4 |
| 5 | Laparoscopic vs open partial colectomy in elderly patients:Insights from the American College of Surgeons- National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database显示文摘AIM: To compare the outcomes between the laparoscopic and open approaches for partial colectomy in elderly patients aged 65 years and over using the American College of Surgeons- National Surgical Quality Improvement Program(ACS NSQIP) database. METHODS: The ACS NSQIP database for the years 2005-2011 was queried for all patients 65 years and above who underwent partial colectomy. 1:1 propensity score matching using the nearest- neighbor method was performed to ensure both groups had similar preoperative comorbidities. Outcomes including postoperative complications, length of stay and mortality were compared between the laparoscopic and open groups. χ2 and Fisher's exact test were used for discrete variables and Student's t-test for continuous variables. P < 0.05 was considered significant and odds ratios with 95%CI were reported when applicable. RESULTS: The total number of patients in the ACS NSQIP database of the years 2005-2011 was 1777035. We identified 27604 elderly patients who underwent partial colectomy with complete data sets. 12009(43%) of the cases were done laparoscopically and15595(57%) were done with open. After propensity score matching, there were 11008 patients each in the laparoscopic(LC) and open colectomy(OC) cohorts. The laparoscopic approach had lower post-operative complications(LC 15.2%, OC 23.8%, P < 0.001), shorter length of stay(LC 6.61 d, OC 9.62 d, P < 0.001) and lower mortality(LC 1.6%, OC 2.9%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Even after propensity score matching, elderly patients in the ACS NSQIP database having a laparoscopic partial colectomy had better outcomes than those having open colectomies. In the absence of specific contraindications, elderly patients requiring a partial colectomy should be offered the laparoscopic approach. | Umashankkar Kannan Vemuru Sunil K Reddy Amar N Mukerji Vellore S Parithivel Ajay K Shah Brian F Gilchrist Daniel T Farkas | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,45: | 3 |
| 6 | Prognostic value of baseline FDG uptake on PET-CT in esophageal carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the influence of baseline maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) on survival in a cohort of patients, undergoing positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PET-CT) scan for esophageal carcinoma. METHODS: The pre-treatment SUVmax numeric reading was determined in patients with confirmed esophageal or junctional cancer having PET-CT scan during the time period 1st January 2007 until 31 st July 2012. A minimum follow up of 12 mo was required. Patients were subdivided into quartiles according to SUVmax value and the influence of SUVmax on survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate analysis. The following pre-treatment factors were investigated: patient characteristics, tumor characteristics and planned treatment. RESULTS: The study population was 271 patients(191male) with esophageal or junctional carcinoma. The median age was 65 years(range 40-85) and histologic subtype was adenocarcinoma in 197 patients and squamous carcinoma in 74 patients. The treatment intent was radical in 182 and palliative in 89 patients. SUVmax was linked to histologic subtype(P = 0.008), tumor site(P = 0.01) and Union for International Cancer Control(UICC) stage(P < 0.001). On univariate analysis, prognosis was significantly associated with SUVmax(P = 0.001), T-stage(P < 0.001) and UICC stage(P < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, only T-stage and UICC stage remained significant. CONCLUSION: Pretreatment SUVmax was not a useful marker in isolation for determining prognosis of patients with esophageal carcinoma. | Omar S Al-Taan Amar Eltweri David Sharpe Peter M Rodgers Sukhbir S Ubhi David J Bowrey | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2014,6,5: | 2 |
| 7 | 有胰 divisum 的 Choledochocele : 在磁性的回声 cholangiopancreatography 上诊断的稀罕同现显示文摘 We report a case of a 42-year-old male with symptomatic choledochocele and incidental pancreas divisum diagnosed with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Small choledochocele is rare congenital malformation associated with non-specific symptoms and a delay in diagnosis. The coexistence of choledochocele and pancreas divisum is extremely rare with only two case reports published in literature. In both cases MRCP failed to diagnose any biliary or pancreatic abnormality. This case suggests that the patients with recurrent abdominal pain and pancreas divisum should not be presumed to be suffering from pancreatitis. Careful evaluated for additional anomalies in the biliary tree should be sought for refractory symptoms. MRCP is a useful one-stop-shop for diagnosing pancreatic and biliary ductal anomalies. | Yashwant Patidar Nitesh Agarwal Shailesh Gupta Ankur Arora Amar Mukund S Rajesh | 2013 | World Journal of Radiology2013,5,7: | 2 |
| 8 | 人工全膝关节置换后股骨假体角度的CT影像学评估:股骨外上髁线参照与间隙平衡技术的对比研究(英文)显示文摘[目的]虽然人工全膝关节置换术中假体旋转定位的重要性已得到公认,但术中以哪条轴线为参照能够更加精确的保证股骨假体的旋转定位,目前尚存争议。研究表明股骨外上髁线(TEA)与膝关节屈曲轴线平行,但这一轴线术中难以精确确定。本文采用间隙平衡技术(BG),对比TEA技术在股骨假体实际旋转角度测量的差异。[方法]30例人工全膝关节置换分为2组(每组15膝),分别采用TEA和BG技术,术后行CT扫描测量股骨假体旋转角度并行膝关节学会评分(KSS)。[结果]BG组中股骨假体平均外旋角度为2.7°±1.1°,TEA组为5.6°±1.6°(P=0.001)。术后KSS功能评分改善BG组高于TEA组(P=0.002),但两组的KSS膝评分无显著性差异(P=0.39)。[结论]研究表明,与BG技术相比,术中应用TEA参照确定股骨假体的旋转定位可导致股骨假体的过度外旋,其术后KSS功能评分亦较差。 | Shrinand V Vaidya Aditya V Maheshwari Rajesh M Gadhiya Vaibhav Bagaria Amar S Ranawat Chitranjan S Ranawat | 2008 | 中国矫形外科杂志2008,16,12: | 2 |
