| 1 | Role of blood AFP mRNA and tumor grade in the preoperative prognostic evaluation of patients with hepatoceiluiar carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To explore the potential prognostic role of preoperative tumor grade and blood AFP mRNA in a cohort of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)eligible for radical therapies according to a well-defined treatment algorithm not including nodule size and number as absolute selection criteria.METHODS: Fifty patients with a diagnosis of HCC were prospectively enrolled in the study. Inclusion criteria were: (1) histological assessment of tumor grade by means of percutaneous biopsies; (2) determination of AFP mRNA status in the blood; (3) patient's eligibility for radical therapies.RESULTS: At preoperative evaluation, 54% of the study group had a well-differentiated HCC, 42% had AFP mRNA in the blood, 40% had a tumor larger than 5 cm and 56% had more than one nodule. Surgery (resection or liver transplantation) was performed in 29 patients,while 21 had percutaneous ablation procedures. After a median follow-up of 28 mo, 12-, 24-, and 36-mo survival rates were 78%, 58%, and 51%, respectively. Surgical therapy, performance status and three tumor-related variables (AFP mRNA, HCC grade and gross vascular invasion) resulted as significant survival predictors at univariate analysis. Nodule size and number did not perform as significant prognosticators. Multivariate study selected only surgical therapy and a biologically early HCC profile (AFP mRNA negative and well-differentiated tumor without gross vascular invasion) as independent survival variables.CONCLUSION: The preoperative determination of tumor grade and blood AFP mRNA status may potentially refine the prognostic evaluation of HCC patients and improve the selection process for radical therapies. | Umberto Cillo Alessandro Vitale Filippo Navaglia Daniela Basso Umberto Montin Marco Bassanello Francesco D'Amico Francesco Antonio Ciarleglio Alberto Brolese Giacomo Zanus Vito De Pascale Mario Plebani Davide Francesco D'Amico | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,44: | 12 |
| 2 | Prediction of hepatocellular carcinoma biological behaviorin patient selection for liver transplantation显示文摘Morphological criteria have always been considered the benchmark for selecting hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients for liver transplantation(LT).These criteria,which are often inappropriate to express the tumor’s biological behavior and aggressiveness,offer only a static view of the disease burden and are frequently unable to correctly stratify the tumor recurrence risk after LT.Alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)and its progression as well as AFP-m RNA,AFP-L3%,des-γ-carboxyprothrombin,inflammatory markers and other serological tests appear to be correlated with post-transplant outcomes.Several other markers for patient selection including functional imaging studies such as18F-FDG-PET imaging,histological evaluation of tumor grade,tissue-specific biomarkers,and molecular signatures have been outlined in the literature.HCC growth rate and response to pre-transplant therapies can further contribute to the transplant evaluation process of HCC patients.While AFP,its progression,and HCC response to pretransplant therapy have already been used as a part of an integrated prognostic model for selecting patients,the utility of other markers in the transplant setting is still under investigation.This article intends to review the data in the literature concerning predictors that could be included in an integrated LT selection model and to evaluate the importance of biological aggressiveness in the evaluation process of these patients. | Umberto Cillo Tommaso Giuliani Marina Polacco Luz Maria Herrero Manley Gino Crivellari Alessandro Vitale | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,1: | 7 |
| 3 | Transplant benefit for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Although liver transplantation is theoretically the best treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),it is limited by the realities of perioperative complications,and the shortage of donor organs.Furthermore,in many cases there are available alternative treatments such as resection or locoregional therapy.Deciding upon the best option for a patient with HCC is complicated,involving numerous ethical principles including:urgency,utility,intention-to-treat survival,transplant benefit,harm to candidates on waiting list,and harm to living donors.The potential contrast between different principles is particularly relevant for patients with HCC for several reasons:(1)HCC candidates to liver transplantation are increasing;(2)the great prognostic heterogeneity within the HCC population;(3)in HCC patients tumor progression before liver transplantation may significantly impair post transplant outcome;and(4)effective alternative therapies are often available for HCC candidates to liver transplantation.In this paper we suggest that allocating organs by transplant benefit could help balance these competing principles,and also introduce equity between patients with HCC and nonmalignant liver disease.We also propose a triangular equipoise model to help decide between deceased donor liver transplantation,living donor liver transplantation,or alternative therapies. | Alessandro Vitale Michael Volk Umberto Cillo | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,48: | 6 |

| 5 | Molecular Mechanism of the Specificity of Protein Import into Chloroplasts and Mitochondria in Plant Cells显示文摘Plants possess both types of endosymbiotic organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria. Transit peptides and presequences function as signal sequences for specific import into chloroplasts and mitochondria, respectively. However, how these highly similar signal sequences confer the protein import specificity remains elusive. Here, we show that mitochondrial- or chloroplast-specific import involves two distinct steps, specificity determination and translocation across envelopes, which are mediated by the N-terminal regions and functionally interchangeable C-terminal regions, respectively, of transit peptides and presequences. A domain harboring multiple-arginine and hydrophobic sequence motifs in the N-terminal regions of presequences was identified as the mitochondrial specificity factor. The presence of this domain and the absence of arginine residues in the N-terminal regions of otherwise common targeting signals confers specificity of protein import into mitochondria and chloroplasts, respectively. AtToc159, a chloroplast import receptor, also contributes to determining chloroplast import specificity. We propose that common ancestral sequences were functionalized into mitochondrial- and chloroplast-specific signal sequences by the presence and absence, respectively, of multiple-arginine and hydrophobic sequence motifs in the N-terminal region. | Dong Wook Lee Sumin Lee Junho Lee Seungjin Woo Md.Abdur Razzak Alessandro Vitale Inhwan Hwang | 2019 | Molecular Plant2019,12,7: | 2 |

| 20 | Management of hepatitis C infection before and after liver transplantation显示文摘Chronic hepatitis C(CHC) is the most common indication for liver transplantation(LT). Aggressive treatment of hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection before cirrhosis development or decompensation may reduce LT need and risk of HCV recurrence post-LT. Factors associated with increased HCV risk or severity of recurrence include older age, immunosuppression, HCV genotype 1 and high viral load at LT. HCV recurrence post-LT leads to accelerated liver disease and cirrhosis development with reduced graft and patient survival. Currently, interferon(IFN)-based regimens can be used in dualagent regimens with ribavirin, in triple-agent antiviral strategies with direct-acting antivirals(e.g., protease inhibitors telaprevir or boceprevir), or before transplant in compensated patients to reduce HCV viral load to prevent or reduce the risk of post-LT recurrence and complications; they cannot be used in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. IFN-based regimens are used in less than half of HCV-infected patients waiting for LT due to extremely low efficacy and poor tolerability. However, antiviral therapy is indicated after LT in patients with histologically confirmed CHC despite tolerability issues. Improvements in side effect management have increased survival in patients achieving therapeutic targets. HCV treatment pre- and post-LT results in significant health care costs especially when lack of efficacy leads to disease worsening, although studies have shown sofosbuvir treatment before LT vs conventional post-LT dual antiviral is cost effective. The suboptimal efficacy and tolerability of IFN-based therapies, plus the significant economic burden, means the need for effective and well tolerated IFN-free antiHCV therapy for pre- and post-LT remains high. | Stefano Fagiuoli Roberto Ravasio Maria Grazia Lucà Anna Baldan Silvia Pecere Alessandro Vitale Luisa Pasulo | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,15: | 1 |
