1Comparison of the liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography with the liver biopsy显示文摘AIM: To compare the liver stiffness (LS) measurement by transient elastography (TE) to the liver biopsy (LB)-considered the 'gold standard' in the evaluation of patients with chronic hepatitis C. METHODS: During a period of 12 mo, we evaluated 199 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis due to hepatitis C virus (HCV), in which LB and LS assessments (by means of TE) were performed during the same session. RESULTS: Out of 199 patients, a valid measurement of the LS could not be obtained in 8. The mean value of LS in the cohort of 191 valid measurements was 8.45 ± 4.96 kPa, ranging from 2.3 to 38 kPa. The mean value of LS in patients with signifi cant fi brosis at biopsy (161 patients with F ≥ 2 according to Metavir) was 9.02 ± 5.15 kPa, significantly higher than in patients with no or mild fi brosis (30 patients with F < 2 Metavir): 5.39 ± 1.81 kPa (P < 0.0001). For a cut- off value of 6.8 kPa, the LS had a PPV of 98%, a NPV of 30.1%, a sensitivity of 59.6% and a specificity of 93.3% for the presence of signifi cant fi brosis (at least F2 Metavir), with a diagnostic performance of 77.3% (AUROC 0.773). Using this cut-off value, we reached the best discrimination between absence of fibrosis/ mild fibrosis (F < 2 Metavir) and the presence ofmoderate to severe fi brosis (F ≥ 2 Metavir). CONCLUSION: In patients with chronic hepatitis due to HCV, a cut-off value of 6.8 kPa measured by TE can differentiate between significant fibrosis and absent or mild fi brosis, with a PPV of 98%, a NPV of 30.1%, a sensitivity of 59.6%, a specificity of 93.3%, and a diagnostic performance of 77.3%.Ioan Sporea Roxana ■irli Alexandra Deleanu Adriana Tudora Manuela Curescu Marioara Cornianu Daniela Lazǎr 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,42:20
2Diagnostic and prognostic potential of tissue and circulating long non-coding RNAs in colorectal tumors显示文摘Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)are members of the non-protein coding RNA family longer than 200 nucleotides.They participate in the regulation of gene and protein expression influencing apoptosis,cell proliferation and immune responses,thereby playing a critical role in the development and progression of various cancers,including colorectal cancer(CRC).As CRC is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide with high mortality,its screening and early detection are crucial,so the identification of disease-specific biomarkers is necessary.LncRNAs are promising candidates as they are involved in carcinogenesis,and certain lncRNAs(e.g.,CCAT1,CRNDE,CRCAL1-4)show altered expression in adenomas,making them potential early diagnostic markers.In addition to being useful as tissue-specific markers,analysis of circulating lncRNAs(e.g.,CCAT1,CCAT2,BLACAT1,CRNDE,NEAT1,UCA1)in peripheral blood offers the possibility to establish minimally invasive,liquid biopsy-based diagnostic tests.This review article aims to describe the origin,structure,and functions of lncRNAs and to discuss their contribution to CRC development.Moreover,our purpose is to summarise lncRNAs showing altered expression levels during tumor formation in both colon tissue and plasma/serum samples and to demonstrate their clinical implications as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for CRC.Orsolya Galamb Barbara K Barták Alexandra Kalmár Zsófia B Nagy Krisztina A Szigeti Zsolt Tulassay Peter Igaz Béla Molnár 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,34:18
3Epithelial toll-like receptor 9 signaling in colorectal inflammation and cancer: Clinico-pathogenic aspects显示文摘Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognize specific motifs which are frequently present in bacteria, fungi, prokaryotes and viruses. Amongst TLRs, TLR9 can be activated by such bacterial or viral DNA fragments, immunoglobulin-DNA complexes or synthetic oligonucleotides, which all contain unmethylated cytosineguanine nucleotide sequences (CpGs). Emerging data indicate that TLR9 signaling has a role in, and may influence, colorectal carcinogenesis and colonic inflammation. CpGs are classified into three groups according to their influence on both the antigen-specific humoraland cellular immunity, and the production of type 1 interferons and proinflammatory cytokines. TLR9 activation via CpGs may serve as a new therapeutic target for several cancerous and various inflammatory conditions. Due to its probable anti-cancer effects, the application possibilities of TLR9-signaling modulation may be extremely diverse even in colorectal tumors. In this review we aimed to summarize the current knowledge about TLR-signaling in the pathogenesis and therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. Due to the species-specific differences in TLR9 expression, however, one must be careful in translating the animal model data into the human system, because of the differences between CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide-responsive cells. TLR9 agonist DNA-based immunomodulatory sequences could also represent a promising therapeutic alternative in systemic inflammatory conditions and chronic colonic inflammations as their side effects are not significant.István Fri Ferenc Sipos Tiana M Germann Alexandra Kalmár Zsolt Tulassay Béla Molnár Gyrgyi Mzes 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26:14
4Restoration of energy level in the early phase of acute pediatric pancreatitis显示文摘Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious inflammatory disease with rising incidence both in the adult and pediatric populations. It has been shown that mitochondrial injury and energy depletion are the earliest intracellular events in the early phase of AP. Moreover, it has been revealed that restoration of intracellular ATP level restores cellular functions and defends the cells from death. We have recently shown in a systematic review and meta-analysis that early enteral feeding is beneficial in adults; however, no reviews are available concerning the effect of early enteral feeding in pediatric AP. In this minireview, our aim was to systematically analyse the literature on the treatmentof acute pediatric pancreatitis. The preferred reporting items for systematic review(PRISMA-P) were followed, and the question was drafted based on participants, intervention, comparison and outcomes: P: patients under the age of twenty-one suffering from acute pancreatitis; I: early enteral nutrition (per os and nasogastric- or nasojejunal tube started within 48 h); C: nil per os therapy; O: length of hospitalization, need for treatment at an intensive care unit, development of severe AP, lung injury (including lung oedema and pleural effusion), white blood cell count and pain score on admission. Altogether, 632 articles (Pub Med: 131; EMBASE: 501) were found. After detailed screening of eligible papers, five of them met inclusion criteria. Only retrospective clinical trials were available. Due to insufficient information from the authors, it was only possible to address length of hospitalization as an outcome of the study. Our mini-meta-analysis showed that early enteral nutrition significantly(SD = 0.806, P = 0.034) decreases length of hospitalization compared with nil per os diet in acute pediatric pancreatitis. In this minireview, we clearly show that early enteral nutrition, started within 24-48 h, is beneficial in acute pediatric pancreatitis. Prospective studies and better presentation of research are crucially needed to achieve a higher level of evidence.Dóra Mosztbacher Nelli Farkas Margit Solymár Gabriella Pár Judit Bajor ákos Szucs József Czimmer Katalin Márta Alexandra Mikó Zoltán Rumbus Péter Varjú Péter Hegyi Andrea Párniczky 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,6:8
5Aging related methylation influences the gene expression of key control genes in colorectal cancer and adenoma显示文摘AIM To analyze colorectal carcinogenesis and age-related DNA methylation alterations of gene sequences associated with epigenetic clock CpG sites. METHODS In silico DNA methylation analysis of 353 epigenetic clock Cp G sites published by Steve Horvath was performed using methylation array data for a set of 123 colonic tissue samples [64 colorectal cancer(CRC), 42 adenoma, 17 normal; GEO accession number: GSE48684]. Among the differentially methylated agerelated genes, secreted frizzled related protein 1(SFRP1) promoter methylation was further investigated in colonic tissue from 8 healthy adults, 19 normal children, 20 adenoma and 8 CRC patients using bisulfite-specific PCR followed by methylation-specific high resolution melting(MS-HRM) analysis. m RNA expression of age-related 'epigenetic clock' genes was studied using Affymetrix HGU133 Plus2.0 whole transcriptome data of 153 colonic biopsy samples(49 healthy adult, 49 adenoma, 49 CRC, 6 healthy children)(GEO accession numbers: GSE37364, GSE10714, GSE4183, GSE37267). Whole promoter methylation analysis of genes showing inverse DNA methylationgene expression data was performed on 30 colonic samples using methyl capture sequencing.RESULTS Fifty-seven age-related Cp G sites including hypermethylated PPP1R16 B, SFRP1, SYNE1 and hypomethylated MGP, PIPOX were differentially methylated between CRC and normal tissues(P < 0.05, ?β≥ 10%). In the adenoma vs normal comparison, 70 CpG sites differed significantly, including hypermethylated DKK3, SDC2, SFRP1, SYNE1 and hypomethylated CEMIP, SPATA18(P < 0.05, ?β≥ 10%). In MS-HRM analysis, the SFRP1 promoter region was significantly hypermethylated in CRC(55.0% ± 8.4 %) and adenoma tissue samples(49.9% ± 18.1%) compared to normal adult(5.2% ± 2.7%) and young(2.2% ± 0.7%) colonic tissue(P < 0.0001). DNA methylation of SFRP1 promoter was slightly, but significantly increased in healthy adults compared to normal young samples(P < 0.02). This correlated with significantly increased SFRP1 m RNA levels in children compared to normal adult samples(P < 0.05). In CRC tissue the mR NA expression of 117 agerelated genes were changed, while in adenoma samples 102 genes showed differential expression compared with normal colonic tissue(P < 0.05, logF C > 0.5). The change of expression for several genes including SYNE1, CLEC3 B, LTBP3 and SFRP1, followed the same pattern in aging and carcinogenesis, though not for all genes(e.g., MGP). CONCLUSION Several age-related DNA methylation alterations can be observed during CRC development and progression affecting the m RNA expression of certain CRC- and adenoma-related key control genes.Orsolya Galamb Alexandra Kalmár Barbara Kinga Barták árpád V Patai Katalin Leiszter Bálint Péterfia Barnabás Wichmann Gábor Valcz Gábor Veres Zsolt Tulassay Béla Molnár 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,47:7
6Pancreatic cancer: Are 'liquid biopsies' ready for prime-time?显示文摘Pancreatic cancer is a disease that carries a poor prognosis. Accurate tissue diagnosis is required. Tumours contain a high content of stromal tissue and therefore biopsies may be inconclusive. Circulating tumour cells(CTCs) have been investigated as a potential 'liquid biopsy' in several malignancies and have proven to be of prognostic value in breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. They have been detected in patients with localised and metastatic pancreatic cancer with sensitivities ranging from 38%-100% using a variety of platforms. Circulating tumour DNA(ct DNA) has also been detected in pancreas cancer with a sensitivity ranging from 26%-100% in studies across different platforms and using different genetic markers. However, there is no clear consensus on which platform is the most effective for detection, nor which genetic markers are the most useful to use. Potential roles of liquid biopsies include diagnosis, screening, guiding therapies and prognosis. The presence of CTCs or ct DNA has been shown to be of prognostic value both at diagnosis and after treatment in patients with pancreatic cancer. However, more prospective studies are required before this promising technology is ready for adoption into routine clinical practice.Alexandra R Lewis Juan W Valle Mairead G Mc Namara 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,32:5
7Skin-gut axis:The relationship between intestinal bacteria and skin health显示文摘The gut microbiome is an emerging area of interest in medicine. Imbalances in the gut microbiome have been linked to a number of disease states such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The relationship between normally residing intestinal bacteria(the gut microbiota) and their potential role in the pathogenesis of skin diseases is an area of research for which we are only beginning to understand. Small studies have demonstrated underlying changes in the gut microbiome of patients with certain dermatological diseases. Interestingly, studies suggest that probiotics may have a role in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. However, the concept of the 'skin-gut axis' is a newly emerging and important avenue of investigation, still lacking in pathobiological explanations. This review will introduce and describe the intestinal microbiome as it relates to skin health in a complex communication network between the immune system, endocrine system, metabolic system, and nervous system.Alexandra R Vaughn Manisha Notay Ashley K Clark Raja K Sivamani 2017World Journal of Dermatology2017,6,4:4
8Catastrophic gastrointestinal complication of systemic immunosuppression显示文摘We present a case of acute upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage in a patient with systemic vasculitis immunosuppressed on cyclophosphamide and prednisolone.The patient presented with a diffuse haemorrhagic oesophagitis and a non-specific duodenitis.Biopsies taken from the oesophagus and duodenum demonstrated infection with herpes simplex virus(HSV)and cytomegalovirus(CMV)respectively.Viral infection of the upper gastrointestinal tract is a recognised complication of immunosuppression and HSV is one of the most common pathogens.CMV on the other hand most commonly causes a colitis or less commonly oesophagitis.CMV enteritis is rare as is the synchronous infection with two viral agents in an immunocompromised patient having being described in a few case series only.Viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract in immunocompromised patients should be treated with systemic anti-viral medication and consideration to withdrawal of the immunosuppressive therapy if possible and appropriate.The authors highlight the need for a high suspicion of viral infection in immunosuppressed patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Lyn Alexandra Smith Mitali Gangopadhyay Daniel R Gaya 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8:2
