1Oxidative stress as a crucial factor in liver diseases显示文摘Redox state constitutes an important background of numerous liver disorders. The redox state participates in the course of inflammatory, metabolic and proliferative liver diseases. Reactive oxygen species(ROS) are primarily produced in the mitochondria and in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes via the cytochrome P450 enzymes. Under the proper conditions, cells are equipped with special molecular strategies that control the level of oxidative stress and maintain a balance between oxidant and antioxidant particles. Oxidative stress represents an imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant agents. Hepatocytic proteins, lipids and DNA are among the cellular structures that are primarily affected by ROS and reactive nitrogen species. The process results in structural and functional abnormalities in the liver. Thus, the phenomenon of oxidative stress should be investigated for several reasons. First, it may explain the pathogenesis of various liver disorders. Moreover, monitoring oxidative markers among hepatocytes offers the potential to diagnose the degree of liver damage and ultimately to observe the response to pharmacological therapies. The present report focuses on the role of oxidative stress in selected liver diseases.Halina Cichoz-Lach Agata Michalak 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,25:70
2Brain-gut-microbiota axis in Parkinson's disease显示文摘Parkinson's disease(PD) is characterized by alphasynucleinopathy that affects all levels of the braingut axis including the central, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems. Recently, it has been recognized that the brain-gut axis interactions are significantly modulated by the gut microbiota via immunological,neuroendocrine, and direct neural mechanisms. Dysregulation of the brain-gut-microbiota axis in PD may be associated with gastrointestinal manifestations frequently preceding motor symptoms, as well as with the pathogenesis of PD itself, supporting the hypothesis that the pathological process is spread from the gut to the brain. Excessive stimulation of the innate immune system resulting from gut dysbiosis and/or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and increased intestinal permeability may induce systemic inflammation, while activation of enteric neurons and enteric glial cells may contribute to the initiation of alpha-synuclein misfolding.Additionally, the adaptive immune system may be disturbed by bacterial proteins cross-reacting with human antigens. A better understanding of the brain-gutmicrobiota axis interactions should bring a new insight in the pathophysiology of PD and permit an earlier diagnosis with a focus on peripheral biomarkers within the enteric nervous system. Novel therapeutic options aimed at modifying the gut microbiota composition and enhancing the intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in PD patients could influence the initial step of the following cascade of neurodegeneration in PD.Agata Mulak Bruno Bonaz 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,37:60
3Efficacy, risk factors and complications of endoscopic polypectomy: Ten year experience at a single center显示文摘AIM: To examine the efficacy and complications of colonoscopic resection of colorectal polypoid lesions. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 1354 polypectomies performed on 1038 patients over a ten- year period. One hundred and sixty of these were performed for large polyps, those measuring ≥ 20 mm. Size, shape, location, histology, the technique of polypectomy used, complications, drugs assumption and associated intestinal or extra intestinal diseases were analyzed. For statistical analysis, the Pearson χ2 test, NPC test and a Binary Logistic Regression were used. RESULTS: The mean patient age was 65.9 ± 12.4 years, with 671 men and 367 women. The mean size of polyps removed was 9.45 ± 9.56 mm while the size of large polyps was 31.5 ± 10.8 mm. There were 388 pedunculated and 966 sessile polyps and the most common location was the sigmoid colon (41.3%). The most frequent histology was tubular adenoma (55.9%) while for the large polyps was villous (92/160 -57.5%). Coexistent malignancy was observed in 28 polyps (2.1%) and of these, 20 were large polyps. There were 17 procedural bleeding (1.3%) and one perforation. The statistical analysis showed that cancer is correlated to polyp size (P < 0.0001); sessile shape (P < 0.0001) and bleeding are correlated to cardiac disease (P = 0.034), tubular adenoma (P = 0.016) and polyp size.CONCLUSION: The endoscopic resection is a simple and safe procedure for removing colon rectal neoplastic lesions and should be considered the treatment of choice for large colorectal polyps. The polyp size is an important risk factor for malignancy and for bleeding.Pierluigi Consolo Carmelo Luigiano Giuseppe Strangio Maria Grazia Scaffidi Giuseppa Giacobbe Giovanna Di Giuseppe Agata Zirilli Luigi Familiari 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,15:33
4Current pathogenetic aspects of hepatic encephalopathy and noncirrhotic hyperammonemic encephalopathy显示文摘Hepatic encephalopathy is a medical phenomenon that is described as a neuropsychiatric manifestation of chronic or acute liver disease that is characterized by psychomotor,intellectual and cognitive abnormalities with emotional/affective and behavioral disturbances.This article focuses on the underlying mechanisms of the condition and the differences between hepatic encephalopathy and noncirrhotic hyperammonemic encephalopathy.Hepatic encephalopathy is a serious condition that can cause neurological death with brain edema and intracranial hypertension.It is assumed that approximately 60%-80% of patients with liver cirrhosis develop hepatic encephalopathy This review explores the complex mechanisms that lead to hepatic encephalopathy.However,noncirrhotic hyperammonemic encephalopathy is not associated with hepatic diseases and has a completely different etiology.Noncirrhotic hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a severe occurrence that is connected with multiple pathogeneses.Halina Cichoz-Lach Agata Michalak 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1:19
5Serum and urine metabolomic fingerprinting in diagnostics of inflammatory bowel diseases显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the utility of serum and urine metabolomic analysis in diagnosing and monitoring of inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD).METHODS:Serum and urine samples were collected from 24 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC),19 patients with the Crohn’s disease(CD)and 17 healthy controls.The activity of UC was assessed with the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index,while the activity of CD was determined using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index.The analysis of serum and urine samples was performed using proton nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy.All spectra were exported to Matlab for preprocessing which resulted in two data matrixes for serum and urine.Prior to the chemometric analysis,both data sets were unit variance scaled.The differences in metabolite fingerprints were assessed using partial least-squaresdiscriminant analysis(PLS-DA).Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under curves were used to evaluate the quality and prediction performance of the obtained PLS-DA models.Metabolites responsible for separation in models were tested using STATISTICA10 with the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test and the Student’s t test(α=0.05).RESULTS:The comparison between the group of patients with active IBD and the group with IBD in remission provided good PLS-DA models(P value 0.002for serum and 0.003 for urine).The metabolites that allowed to distinguish these groups were:N-acetylated compounds and phenylalanine(up-regulated in serum),low-density lipoproteins and very low-density lipoproteins(decreased in serum)as well as glycine(increased in urine)and acetoacetate(decreased in urine).The significant differences in metabolomic profiles were also found between the group of patients with active IBD and healthy control subjects providing the PLS-DA models with a very good separation(P value<0.001 for serum and 0.003 for urine).The metabolites that were found to be the strongest biomarkers included in this case:leucine,isoleucine,3-hydroxybutyric acid,N-acetylated compounds,acetoacetate,glycine,phenylalanine and lactate(increased in serum),creatine,dimethyl sulfone,histidine,choline and its derivatives(decreased in serum),as well as citrate,hippurate,trigonelline,taurine,succinate and 2-hydroxyisobutyrate(decreased in urine).No clear separation in PLS-DA models was found between CD and UC patients based on the analysis of serum and urine samples,although one metabolite(formate)in univariate statistical analysis was significantly lower in serum of patients with active CD,and two metabolites(alanine and N-acetylated compounds)were significantly higher in serum of patients with CD when comparing jointly patients in the remission and active phase of the diseases.Contrary to the results obtained from the serum samples,the analysis of urine samples allowed to distinguish patients with IBD in remission from healthy control subjects.The metabolites of importance included in this case up-regulated acetoacetate and down-regulated citrate,hippurate,taurine,succinate,glycine,alanine and formate.CONCLUSION:NMR-based metabolomic fingerprinting of serum and urine has the potential to be a useful tool in distinguishing patients with active IBD from those in remission.Tomasz Dawiskiba Stanislaw Deja Agata Mulak Adam Zabek Ewa Jawień Dorota Pawelka Miroslaw Banasik Agnieszka Mastalerz-Migas Waldemar Balcerzak Krzysztof Kaliszewski Jan Skóra Piotr Bar Krzysztof Korta Kornel Pormańczuk Przemyslaw Szyber Adam Litarski Piotr Mlynarz 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,1:15
6Sex hormones in the modulation of irritable bowel syndrome显示文摘Compelling evidence indicates sex and gender differences in epidemiology,symptomatology,pathophysiology,and treatment outcome in irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).Based on the female predominance as well as the correlation between IBS symptoms and hormonal status,several models have been proposed to examine the role of sex hormones in gastrointestinal(GI)function including differences in GI symptoms expression in distinct phases of the menstrual cycle,in pre-and post-menopausal women,during pregnancy,hormonal treatment or after oophorectomy.Sex hormones may influence peripheral and central regulatory mechanisms of the brain-gut axis involved in the pathophysiology of IBS contributing to the alterations in visceral sensitivity,motility,intestinal barrier function,and immune activation of intestinal mucosa.Sex differences in stress response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and autonomic nervous system,neuroimmune interac-tions triggered by stress,as well as estrogen interactions with serotonin and corticotropin-releasing factor signaling systems are being increasingly recognized.A concept of'microgenderome'related to the potential role of sex hormone modulation of the gut microbiota is also emerging.Significant differences between IBS female and male patients regarding symptomatology and comorbidity with other chronic pain syndromes and psychiatric disorders,together with differences in efficacy of serotonergic medications in IBS patients confirm the necessity for more sex-tailored therapeutic approach in this disorder.Agata Mulak Yvette Taché Muriel Larauche 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,10:14
7From the stomach to other organs:Helicobacter pylori and the liver显示文摘Many recent studies have examined the importance of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection in the pathogenesis of the diseases outside the stomach and explored the significance of this bacterium in the pathogenesis of some metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have provided evidence that H. pylori is also involved in the pathogenesis of some liver diseases. Many observations have proved that H. pylori infection is important in the development of insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. The worsening of liver inflammation of different origins also occurs during H. pylori infection. Some studies have indicated that H. pylori infection induces autoimmunological diseases in the liver and biliary tract. The potential significance of this bacterium in carcinogenesis is unclear, but it is within the scope of interest of many studies. The proposed mechanisms through which H. pylori impacts the development of hepatobiliary diseases are complex and ambiguous. The importance of other Helicobacter species in the development of hepatobiliary diseases is also considered because they could lead to the development of inflammatory, fibrotic and necrotic injuries of the liver and, consequently, to hepatocellular carcinoma. However, many contrary viewpoints indicate that some evidence is not convincing, and further studies of the subject are needed. This review presents the current knowledge about the importance of H. pylori in the pathogenesis of liver and in biliary diseases.Marek Waluga Michal Kukla Michal Zorniak Agata Bacik Rafal Kotulski 2015World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,18:11

11Liver injury in the era of COVID-19显示文摘Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)has undoubtedly revolutionized the whole globe and given a new point of view on respiratory tract infections.Nevertheless,coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)cannot be perceived as a disease limited only to pneumonia with diverse severity.More and more reports have demonstrated a wide range of possible systemic symptoms,including hepatic complications.Liver injury has been observed in a significant proportion of patients,especially in those with a severe or critical illness.COVID-19 might provoke a deterioration of liver function in patients with already diagnosed chronic liver diseases and without pre-existing liver disorders.The deterioration of liver function worsens the prognosis,increases the risk of a severe course of SARS-CoV-2 infection and prolongs the hospital stay.In general,patients who develop liver dysfunction in COVID-19 are mainly males,elderly people,and those with higher body mass index.The underlying mechanisms for hepatic failure in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are still unclear,nevertheless liver damage appears to be directly connected with virus-induced cytopathic effects.A liver injury observed during hospitalization might be simultaneously caused by the use of potentially hepatotoxic drugs,mainly antiviral agents.This minireview focuses on a possible relationship between COVID-19 and the liver,potential molecular mechanisms of liver damage,the characteristics of liver injury and suggested factors predisposing to hepatic manifestations in COVID-19 patients.Halina Cichoż-Lach Agata Michalak 2021World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,5:6

13Towards an evaluation of alcoholic liver cirrhosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients with hematological scales显示文摘BACKGROUND Seeking potentially novel blood markers of liver fibrosis and steatosis is constantly of crucial importance.Despite a growing number of studies in this field of hepatology,a certain role of hematological indices in the course of liver disorders has not been fully elucidated,yet.AIM To evaluate a diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)and mean platelet volume-to-platelet-ratio(MPR)in the course of alcoholic liver cirrhosis(ALC)and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS One hundred forty-two patients with ALC,92 with NAFLD and 68 persons in control group were enrolled in the study.Hematological indices(NLR,PLR and MPR),indirect and direct markers of liver fibrosis(aspartate transaminase to alkaline transaminase ratio,aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index,fibrosis-4,gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio,procollagen Ⅰ carboxyterminal propeptide,procollagen Ⅲ aminoterminal propeptide,transforming growth factor-α,platelet-derived growth factor AB,laminin)were measured in each person.Model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)score in ALC group and NAFLD fibrosis score together with BARD score were calculated in NAFLD patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and area under the curve(AUC)values were applied to assess the sensitivity and specificity of examined markers and to evaluate proposed cut-offs of measured indices in the course of ALC and NAFLD.RESULTS MPR and NLR values in ALC patients were significantly higher in comparison to control group;PLR level was significantly lower.MPR and PLR correlated with assessed indirect and direct markers of liver fibrosis.MPR,NLR and PLR correlated with MELD score.NLR level in NAFLD patients was significantly higher in comparison to controls.MPR correlated with indirect markers of liver fibrosis and NAFLD fibrosis score.AUC values and proposed cut-offs for NLR,PLR and MPR in ALC patients were:0.821(>2.227),0.675(<70.445)and 0.929(>0.048),respectively.AUC values and proposed cut-offs for NLR,PLR and MPR in NAFLD group were:0.725(>2.034),0.528(>97.101)and 0.547(>0.038),respectively.CONCLUSION Hematological markers are inseparably connected with serological indices of liver fibrosis in ALC and NAFLD patients.MPR and NLR turned out to be the most powerful parameters in ALC patients.Agata Michalak Halina Cichoz-Lach Malgorzata Guz Joanna Kozicka Marek Cybulski Witold Jeleniewicz Andrzej Stepulak 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,47:6
14Study of reverse osmosis membranes fouling by inorganic salts and colloidal particles during seawater desalination显示文摘Fouling phenomenon is considered among the major reasons that cause significant increase of operating cost of desalination plants equipped with reverse osmosis(RO)membranes.This phenomenon is studied in the present work in the case of RO polyamide aromatic membranes using model seawater containing inorganic salts and colloidal compounds.Different solubility conditions of CaCO3 and CaSO4 were applied to study RO performances with and without colloid presence.During experiments,the membrane permeate fluxes were continuously monitored.Moreover,studies of chemical composition,structure,and morphology of the materials deposited on the membrane surface were conducted using energy dispersive microanalysis(EDS)X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy(SEM).Results show that in conditions of calcium carbonate oversaturation there is a reduction in the permeate flow of 11.2%due to fouling of the membrane by the precipitation of this compound.While in the same conditions of calcium sulphate oversaturation the reduction of the flow is 5%,so we can conclude that in conditions of oversaturation of both salts,calcium carbonate produces a greater fouling of the membrane that in its view causes greater decrease in the flow of permeate.All this based on the results of the test with both salts in oversaturated conditions.Resulting in the formation of calcite and gypsum crystals onto the membranes as XRD analyses stated.Additional presence of colloidal silica in those conditions intensifies strongly the fouling,leading until to 24.1%of permeate flux decrease.Santiago Gutiérrez Ruiz Juan Antonio López-Ramírez Mohammed Hassani Zerrouk Agata Egea-Corbacho Lopera JoséMaría Quiroga Alonso 2020Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering2020,28,3:5
15Anxiety,depression,and quality of life in Parkinson's disease:the implications of multidisciplinary treatment显示文摘Anxiety and depression in Parkinson's disease(PD)reduce well-being of the patients.Emotional alterations influence motor skills and cognitive performance;moreover,they contribute significantly and independently to worsen rehabilitative treatment response.We investigated anxiety,depression,and quality of life in PD patients subjected to multidisciplinary rehabilitative training.The self-controlled study included 100 PD patients(49 males and 51 females with the mean age of 64.66 years)admitted to 60 days hospitalization rehabilitative program,between January 2017 and December 2018.Motor,cognitive,linguistic abilities,and functional independence were evaluated at admission(T0 baseline visit)and 60 days after(T1)the multidisciplinary rehabilitation including motor exercises,speech therapies,and cognitive intervention.The multidisciplinary rehabilitation improved functional status in PD patients and exerted its positive effects on mood,motor abilities,autonomy in the activities of daily life,perception of quality of life,cognitive performance and speech skills.Non-motor symptoms may worsen severe disability and reduce quality of life.They are often poorly recognized and inadequately treated.Nonetheless,multidisciplinary rehabilitative training represents an optimal strategy to improve disease management.The study was approved by Istituito di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico(IRCCS)Centro Neurolesi'Bonino-Pulejo'Ethical Committee(approval No.6/2016)in June 2016.Viviana Lo Buono Rosanna Palmeri Simona De Salvo Matteo Berenati Agata Greco Rosella Ciurleo Chiara Sorbera Vincenzo Cimino Francesco Corallo Placido Bramanti Silvia Marino Giuseppe Di Lorenzo Lilla Bonanno 2021Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,3:5

17Soil Physical Quality of Citrus Orchards Under Tillage, Herbicide, and Organic Managements显示文摘Soil capacity to support life and to produce economic goods and services is strongly linked to the maintenance of good soil physical quality(SPQ). In this study, the SPQ of citrus orchards was assessed under three different soil managements, namely no-tillage using herbicides, tillage under chemical farming, and no-tillage under organic farming. Commonly used indicators, such as soil bulk density,organic carbon content, and structural stability index, were considered in conjunction with capacitive indicators estimated by the Beerkan estimation of soil transfer parameter(BEST) method. The measurements taken at the L'Alcoleja Experimental Station in Spain yielded optimal values for soil bulk density and organic carbon content in 100% and 70% of cases for organic farming. The values of structural stability index indicated that the soil was stable in 90% of cases. Differences between the soil management practices were particularly clear in terms of plant-available water capacity and saturated hydraulic conductivity. Under organic farming, the soil had the greatest ability to store and provide water to plant roots, and to quickly drain excess water and facilitate root proliferation.Management practices adopted under organic farming(such as vegetation cover between the trees, chipping after pruning, and spreading the chips on the soil surface) improved the SPQ. Conversely, the conventional management strategies unequivocally led to soil degradation owing to the loss of organic matter, soil compaction, and reduced structural stability. The results in this study show that organic farming has a clear positive impact on the SPQ, suggesting that tillage and herbicide treatments should be avoided.Simone DI PRIMA Jesus RODRIGO-COMINO Agata NOVARA Massimo IOVINO Mario PIRASTRU Saskia KEESSTRA Artemi CERDA 2018Pedosphere2018,28,3:4
18Overview of studies of the vitamin D/vitamin D receptor system in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is the most common chronic liver disease in the world.NAFLD is known to be associated with obesity,type 2 diabetes,metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular events:for these reasons,it is becoming a global public health problem and represents an important challenge in terms of prevention and treatment.The mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of NAFLD are multiple and have not yet been completely unraveled;consequently,at moment there are not effective treatments.In the past few years a large body of evidence has been assembled that attributes an important role in hepatic aberrant fat accumulation,inflammation and fibrosis,to the vitamin D/vitamin D receptor(VD/VDR)axis,showing a strong association between hypovitaminosis D and the diagnosis of NAFLD.However,the data currently available,including clinical trials with VD supplementation,still provides a contrasting picture.The purpose of this editorial is to provide an overview of recent advances in the pathogenesis of NAFLD in relation to VD/VDR.Based on recent data from literature,we focused in particular on the hypothesis that VDR itself,independently from its traditional ligand VD,may have a crucial function in promoting hepatic fat accumulation.This might also offer new possibilities for future innovative therapeutic approaches in the management of NAFLD.Flavia Agata Cimini Ilaria Barchetta Simone Carotti Sergio Morini Maria Gisella Cavallo 2019World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2019,10,2:4
19Recurrent headaches may be caused by cerebral toxoplasmosis显示文摘AIM: To establish seroprevalence and provide characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii(TG) infection in children with recurrent headaches. METHODS: The study was performed in 178 children aged 7-17 years admitted consecutively to the Department of Pediatric Neurology from November 2009 to July 2011. The children were surveyed with a questionnaire with the help and assistance of their parents and blood samples taken on admission were studied for the presence of specific anti-TG Ig M, Ig G antibodies and Ig G avidity using enzyme immunoassay Platelia Toxo Ig M, Ig G. RESULTS: The study showed that 19 children(8 boys, 11 girls; 8-17 years old, mean age 14.36 years) hadhigh serum anti-TG Ig G antibody levels(range: 32.2 > 240 UI/m L, mean 120.18 UI/m L; positive value for Ig G was ≥ 9 UI/m L). The avidity index(AI) ranged from 0.202 to 0.925(scale: ≥ 0.5 high AI). The results for Ig M antibodies were all negative and the obtained results ranged from 0.113 to 0.25 U/m L(mean = 0.191 IU/m L) and all values below 0.8 IU/m L were considered negative. The most frequent complaints found in the seropositive patients were headaches that affected the frontal(13 children), occipital(4) and parietal areas(5). Headaches usually had a pulsating(in 7 patients) and squeezing(6) character and rarely were piercing, dull or expanding. Interestingly, 8 children did not feel discomfort during the headaches, probably because they did not have sufficiently increased intracranial pressure yet. The headaches usually appeared 1-2 times/mo, lasted for 2-6 h, and had a mean intensity of 5.5 points in a 10 point subjective scale. The comorbidities included epilepsy(5 patients), various infections in 3 children(chronic eustachitis, chronic rhinitis, chronic purulent tonsillitis, streptococcal pharyngitis, meningitis, allergic diseases), disturbances of behavior, deficits of attention, and ocular and motor concentration disorders in 1 child. The electroencephalographic and neuroimaging studies performed in our patients had a very limited value in establishing cerebral toxoplasmosis.CONCLUSION: Ten point six seven percent of the studied children had markedly increased serum anti-TG Ig G antibodies and high AI indicated chronic infestation. It is suggested that tests for TG infection should be introduced to routine diagnostics in patients with recurrent headaches.Joseph Prandota Anna Gryglas Aleksander Fuglewicz Agata Zesawska-Faleńczyk Barbara Ujma-Czapska Leszek Szenborn Janusz Mierzwa 2014World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics2014,3,3:4
20Red blood cell distribution width derivatives in alcohol-related liver cirrhosis and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease显示文摘BACKGROUND Looking for undiscovered blood markers of liver fibrosis and steatosis still remains an issue worth exploring.There are still plenty of unresolved issues related to the actual role of hematological indices as potential markers of liver function.AIM To study red blood cell distribution width(RDW),RDW-to-platelet ratio(RPR)and RDW-to-lymphocyte ratio(RLR) in alcohol-related liver cirrhosis(ALC) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD).METHODS The study group was composed of 302 people:142 patients with ALC and 92 with MAFLD;68 persons were included as controls.RDW,RPR and RLR were measured in each person.Indirect and direct parameters of liver fibrosis were also assessed [aspartate transaminase to alkaline transaminase ratio,aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index(APRI),fibrosis-4(FIB-4),gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio(GPR),procollagen I carboxyterminal propeptide,procollagen Ⅲ aminoterminal propeptide,transforming growth factor-α,plateletderived growth factor AB,laminin].MELD score in ALC patients and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) fibrosis score together with BARD score were obtained in the MAFLD group.The achieved results were compared to controls.Then a correlation between assessed markers was done.Diagnostic value of each investigated parameter and its suggested cut-off in the research group RESULTS RDW,RPR and RLR values turned out to be significantly higher in ALC and MAFLD groups compared to controls(ALC:P<0.0001;NAFLD:P<0.05,P<0.0001 and P<0.0001,respectively).RPR correlated positively with MELD score(P<0.01) and indirect indices of liver fibrosis(FIB-4 and GPR;P<0.0001) in ALC patients;negative correlations were found between PDGF-AB and both:RDW and RPR(P<0.01 and P<0.0001,respectively).RPR correlated positively with NAFLD fibrosis score and APRI(P<0.0001) in the MAFLD group;a positive relationship was observed between RDW and FIB-4,too(P<0.05).AUC values and suggested cut-offs for RDW,RPR and RLR in ALC patients were:0.912(>14.2%),0.965(>0.075) and 0.914(>8.684),respectively.AUC values and suggested cut-offs for RDW,RPR and RLR in MAFLD patients were:0.606(>12.8%),0.724(>0.047) and 0.691(>6.25),respectively.CONCLUSION RDW with its derivatives appear to be valuable diagnostic markers in patients with ALC.They can also be associated with a deterioration of liver function in this group.Agata Michalak Małgorzata Guz Joanna Kozicka Marek Cybulski Witold Jeleniewicz Tomasz Lach Halina Cichoż-Lach 2022World Journal of Gastroenterology2022,28,38:4
