| 1 | Is ARFI elastography reliable for predicting fibrosis severity in chronic HCV hepatitis?显示文摘AIM:To determine whether acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI) elastography is a reliable method for predicting fibrosis severity in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV) hepatitis.METHODS:We performed a multicenter study including 274 subjects with HCV chronic hepatitis in which we compared ARFI with liver biopsy(LB).In each patient we performed LB(evaluated according to the Metavir score) and ARFI measurements(using a Siemens Acuson S2000TM ultrasound system:10 valid measurements were performed and median values were calculated and expressed in meters/second(m/s).RESULTS:A direct,strong,correlation(Spearman r = 0.707) was found between ARFI measurements and fibrosis(P < 0.0001).For predicting the presence of fibrosis(F ≥ 1 Metavir),significant fibrosis(F ≥ 2),severe fibrosis(F ≥ 3) and cirrhosis(F = 4),the cutoff values of 1.19,1.21,1.58 and 1.82 m/s were determined,respectively,liver stiffness measurements had 73%,84%,84% and 91% Se respectively;93%,91%,94%,90% Sp,respectively;with AUROCs of 0.880,0.893,0.908 and 0.937,respectively.CONCLUSION:ARFI measurement is a reliable method for predicting the severity of fibrosis in HCV | Ioan Sporea Roxana Sirli Simona Bota Carmen Fierbinteanu-Braticevici Alina Popescu Radu Badea Monica Lupsor Ana Petrisor Mirela Dnil | 2011 | World Journal of Radiology2011,3,7: | 24 |
| 2 | Platelet count/spleen diameter ratio to predict esophageal varices in Mexican patients with hepatic cirrhosis显示文摘AIM:To validate whether the platelet count/spleen size ratio can be used to predict the presence of esophageal varices in Mexican patients with hepatic cirrhosis.METHODS:This was an analytical cross-sectional study to validate the diagnostic test for hepatic cirrhosis and was performed between February 2010 and December 2011.Patients with a diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis were included and stratified using their ChildPugh score.Biochemical parameters were evaluated,and ultrasound was used to measure the longest diameter of the spleen.The platelet count/spleen diameter ratio was calculated and analyzed to determine whether it can predict the presence of esophageal varices.Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was used as the gold standard.Sensitivity and specificity,positive and negative predictive values,and positive and negative likelihood ratios were determined,with the cutoff points determined by receiver-operating characteristic curves.RESULTS:A total of 91 patients were included.The mean age was 53.75±12 years;50(54.9%)were men,and 41(45.0%)women.The etiology of cirrhosis included alcohol in 48(52.7%),virally induced in24(26.3%),alcoholism plus hepatitis C virus in three(3.2%),cryptogenic in nine(9.8%),and primary biliary cirrhosis in seven(7.6%).Esophageal varices were present in 73(80.2%)patients.Child-Pugh classification,17(18.6%)patients were classified as class A,37(40.6%)as class B,and 37(40.6%)as class C.The platelet count/spleen diameter ratio to detect esophageal varices independent of the grade showed using a cutoff value of≤884.3,had 84%sensitivity,70%specificity,and positive and negative predictive values of 94%and 40%,respectively.CONCLUSION:Our results suggest that the platelet count/spleen diameter ratio may be a useful tool for detecting esophageal varices in patients with hepatic cirrhosis. | Alejandro González-Ojeda Gabino Cervantes-Guevara Manuela Chávez-Sánchez Carlos Dávalos-Cobián Susana Ornelas-Cázares Michel Dassaejv Macías-Amezcua Mariana Chávez-Tostado Kenia Militzi Ramírez-Campos Anaís del Rocío Ramírez-Arce Clotilde Fuentes-Orozco | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,8: | 18 |
| 3 | Using the polymerase chain reaction coupled with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to investigate the association between bacterial translocation and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in predicted acute severe pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the use of PCR and DGGE to investigate the association between bacterial translocation and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in predicted severe AP.METHODS: Patients with biochemical and clinical evidence of acute pancreatitis and an APACHE Ⅱ score ≥8 were enrolled. PCR and DGGE were employed to detect bacterial translocation in blood samples collected on d1,3, and 8 after the admission. Standard microbial blood cultures were taken when there was clinical evidence of sepsis or when felt to be clinically indicated by the supervising team.RESULTS: Six patients were included. Of all the patients investigated, only one developed septic complications;the others had uneventful illness. Bacteria were detected using PCR in 4 of the 17 collected blood samples. The patient with sepsis was PCR-positive in two samples (taken on d 1 and 3), despite three negative blood cultures. Using DGGE and specific primers, the bacteria in all blood specimens which tested positive for the presence of bacterial DNA were identified as E coli.CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed thatunlike traditional microbiological techniques, PCR can detect the presence of bacteria in the blood of patients with severe AP. Therefore, this latter method in conjunction with DGGE is potentially an extremely useful tool in predicting septic morbidity and evaluating patients with the disease. Further research using increased numbers of patients, in particular those patients with necrosis and sepsis, is required to assess the reliability of PCR and DGGE in the rapid diagnosis of infection in AP. | Callum B Pearce Vitaly Zinkevich Iwona Beech Viera Funjika Ana Garcia Ruiz Afraa Aladawi Hamish D Duncan | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,45: | 11 |
| 4 | Vanishing bile duct syndrome in human immunodeficiency virus infected adults:A report of two cases显示文摘Vanishing bile duct syndrome(VBDS) is a group of rare disorders characterized by ductopenia,the progressive destruction and disappearance of intrahepatic bile ducts leading to cholestasis.Described in association with medications,autoimmune disorders,cancer,transplantation,and infections,the specific mechanisms of disease are not known.To date,only 4 cases of VBDS have been reported in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) infected patients.We report 2 additional cases of HIV-associated VBDS and review the features common to the HIV-associated cases.Presentation includes hyperbilirubinemia,normal liver imaging,and negative viral and autoimmune hepatitis studies.In HIV-infected subjects,VBDS occurred at a range of CD4+ T-cell counts,in some cases following initiation or change in antiretroviral therapy.Lymphoma was associated with two cases;nevirapine,antibiotics,and viral co-infection were suggested as etiologies in the other cases.In HIV-positive patients with progressive cholestasis,early identification of VBDS and referral for transplantation may improve outcomes. | Ana Paula Oppenheimer Christopher Koh Mary McLaughlin John C Williamson Thomas D Norton Jennifer Laudadio Theo Heller David E Kleiner Kevin P High Caryn G Morse | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 8 |
| 5 | Retrograde-viewing device improves adenoma detection rate in colonoscopies for surveillance and diagnostic workup显示文摘AIM:To determine which patients might benefit most from retrograde viewing during colonoscopy through subset analysis of randomized,controlled trial data.METHODS:The Third Eye Retroscope Randomized Clinical Evaluation(TERRACE) was a randomized,controlled,multicenter trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a retrograde-viewing auxiliary imaging device that is used during colonoscopy to provide a second video image which allows viewing of areas on the proximal aspect of haustral folds and flexures that are difficult to see with the colonoscope's forward view.We performed a post-hoc analysis of the TERRACE data to determine whether certain subsets of the patient population would gain more benefit than others from use of the device.Subjects were patients scheduled for colonoscopy for screening,surveillance or diagnostic workup,and each underwent same-day tandem examinations with standard colonoscopy(SC) and Third Eye colonoscopy(TEC),randomized to SC followed by TEC or vice versa.RESULTS:Indication for colonoscopy was screening in 176/345 subjects(51.0%),surveillance after previous polypectomy in 87(25.2%) and diagnostic workup in 82(23.8%).In 4 subjects no indication was specified.Previously reported overall results had shown a net additional adenoma detection rate(ADR) with TEC of 23.2% compared to SC.Relative risk(RR) of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC as the initial procedure was 1.92(P = 0.029).Post-hoc subset analysis shows additional ADRs for TEC compared to SC were 4.4% for screening,35.7% for surveillance,55.4% for diagnostic and 40.7% for surveillance and diagnostic combined.The RR of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC was 1.11(P = 0.815) for screening,3.15(P = 0.014) for surveillance,8.64(P = 0.039) for diagnostic and 3.34(P = 0.003) for surveillance and diagnostic combined.Although a multivariate Poisson regression suggested gender as a possibly significant factor,subset analysis showed that the difference between genders was not statistically significant.Age,bowel prep quality and withdrawal time did not significantly affect the RR of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC.Mean sizes of adenomas detected with TEC and SC were similar at 0.59 cm and 0.56 cm,respectively(P = NS).CONCLUSION:TEC allows detection of significantly more adenomas compared to SC in patients undergoing surveillance or diagnostic workup,but not in screening patients(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT01044732). | Peter D Siersema Amit Rastogi Anke M Leufkens Paul A Akerman Kassem Azzouzi Richard I Rothstein Frank P Vleggaar Alessandro Repici Giacomo Rando Patrick I Okolo Olivier Dewit Ana Ignjatovic Elizabeth Odstrcil James East Pierre H Deprez Brian P Saunders Anthony N Kalloo Bradley Creel Vikas Singh Anne Marie Lennon Daniel C DeMarco | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,26: | 6 |
| 6 | Management of oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients:Current controversies and future directions显示文摘Oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)describes an intermediate stage of NSCLC between localized and widely-disseminated disease.This stage of NSCLC is characterized by a limited number of metastases and a more indolent tumor biology.Currently,the management of oligometastatic NSCLC involves radical treatment(radiotherapy or surgery)that targets the metastatic lesions and the primary tumor to achieve disease control.This approach offers the potential to achieve prolonged survival in patients who,in the past,would have only received palliative measures.The optimal therapeutic strategies for the different scenarios of oligometastatic disease(intracranial vs extracranial disease,synchronous vs metachronous)remain undefined.Given the lack of head-to-head studies comparing radiotherapy to surgery in these patients,the decision to apply surgery or radiotherapy(with or without systemic treatment)must be based on prognostic factors that allow us to classify patients.This classification will allow us to select the most appropriate therapeutic strategy on an individualized basis.In the future,the molecular or microRNA profiles will likely improve the treatment selection process.The objective of the present article is to review the most relevant scientific evidence on the management of patients with oligometastatic NSCLC,focusing on the role of radiotherapy and surgery.We also discuss areas of controversy and future directions. | Felipe Counago Javier Luna Luis Leonardo Guerrero Blanca Vaquero María Cecilia Guillén-Sacoto Teresa González-Merino Begona Taboada Verónica Díaz Belén Rubio-Viqueira Ana Aurora Díaz-Gavela Francisco JoséMarcos Elia del Cerro | 2019 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2019,10,10: | 5 |

| 8 | Histological abnormalities of the small bowel mucosa in cirrhosis and portal hypertension显示文摘AIM: To study the small bowel (SB) mucosa on biopsy in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension and in non-cirrhotic controls and grade fi ndings according to the Marsh criteria. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 51 consecutive patients undergoing an upper endoscopy for their routine medical care. Twenty f ive patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension were compared to 26 controls. We obtained coeliac serology and multiple upper small bowel biopsies on all 51 patients. A GI pathologist interpreted biopsies and graded fi ndings according to the Marsh criteria. We assessed equivalence in Marsh grade between cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic controls using the Mann-Whitney test for equivalence. RESULTS: Gender, ethnicity and age were similar between both groups. Marsh grades were equivalent between the groups. Grade of 0 was present in 96% and grade of 1 was present in 4% of both groups and there was no villus atrophy or decrease in villus/crypt ratio in patients with portal hypertension. CONCLUSION: This study provides evidence for the lack of villus atrophy in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, and supports the continuous reliance on the Marsh criteria when the diagnosis of coeliac disease is to be made in the presence of cirrhosis. | Jamilé Wakim-Fleming Nizar N Zein Ana Bennett Rocio Lopez Janice Santisi William D Carey | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,41: | 4 |
| 9 | Autoimmune hepatitis in childhood: The role of genetic and immune factors显示文摘Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the liver, which affects a group of patients who lost their immunological tolerance to antigens of the liver. It is clinically characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated liver enzymes, presence of autoantibodies and histological changes. Although being rare in children, it represents a serious cause of chronic hepatic disease that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. Clinical findings, exclusion of more common liver disorders and the detection of antibodies antinuclear antibodies, smooth muscle antibodies and anti-LKM1 are usually enough for diagnosis on clinical practice. The pathogenic mechanisms that lead to AIH remain obscure, but some research findings suggest the participation of immunologic and genetic factors. It is not yet knew the triggering factor or factors that stimulate inflammatory response. Several mechanisms proposed partially explain the immunologic findings of AIH. The knowledge of immune factors evolved might result in better markers of prognosis and response to treatment. In this review, we aim to evaluate the findings of research about genetic and immune markers and their perspectives of application in clinical practice especially in pediatric population. | Priscila Menezes Ferri Liu Débora Marques de Miranda Eleonora Druve Tavares Fagundes Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira Ana Cristina Simoes e Silva | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,28: | 3 |
| 10 | Intravenous immune globulin suppresses angiogenesis in mice and humans显示文摘Human intravenous immune globulin(IVIg),a purified IgG fraction composed of~60%IgG1 and obtained from the pooled plasma of thousands of donors,is clinically used for a wide range of diseases.The biological actions of IVIg are incompletely understood and have been attributed both to the polyclonal antibodies therein and also to their IgG(IgG)Fc regions.Recently,we demonstrated that multiple therapeutic human IgG1 antibodies suppress angiogenesis in a target-independent manner via FcγRI,a high-affinity receptor for IgG1.Here we show that IVIg possesses similar anti-angiogenic activity and inhibited blood vessel growth in five different mouse models of prevalent human diseases,namely,neovascular age-related macular degeneration,corneal neovascularization,colorectal cancer,fibrosarcoma and peripheral arterial ischemic disease.Angioinhibition was mediated by the Fc region of IVIg,required FcγRI and had similar potency in transgenic mice expressing human FcγRs.Finally,IVIg therapy administered to humans for the treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases reduced kidney and muscle blood vessel densities.These data place IVIg,an agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration,as a novel angioinhibitory drug in doses that are currently administered in the clinical setting.In addition,they raise the possibility of an unintended effect of IVIg on blood vessels. | Reo Yasuma Valeria Cicatiello Takeshi Mizutani Laura Tudisco Younghee Kim Valeria Tarallo Sasha Bogdanovich Yoshio Hirano Nagaraj Kerur Shengjian Li Tetsuhiro Yasuma Benjamin J Fowler Charles B Wright Ivana Apicella Adelaide Greco Arturo Brunetti Balamurali K Ambati Sevim Barbasso Helmers Ingrid E Lundberg Ondrej Viklicky Jeanette HW Leusen J Sjef Verbeek Bradley D Gelfand Ana Bastos-Carvalho Sandro De Falco Jayakrishna Ambati | 2016 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2016,1,1: | 3 |
| 11 | Predictive clinical features of cardioembolic infarction in patients aged 85 years and older显示文摘Objective To assess predictive clinical factors of cardioembolic infarction in very old patients(85 years of age and older).Methods Prospective hospital-based stroke registry('The Sagrat Cor Hospital of Barcelona Stroke Registry')is an acute-care teaching hospital in Barcelona,Catalonia,Spain.From 956 first-ever cardioembolic stroke patients included in the stroke registry over a 24-year period,639 were younger than 85 years of age and 317 were 85 years or older(mean age:88.9 years).Demographics,clinical characteristics,risk factors and early outcome were compared.Predictors of cardioembolic infarction in the oldest age group were assessed by multivariate analyses.Results In a logistic regression model based on demographics,risk factors,clinical features and complications,female gender(odds ratio[OR]=1.74,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.27–2.39),heart failure(OR=2.27,95%CI:1.46–3.56),altered consciousness(OR=1.76,95%CI:1.28–2.42),and infectious complications(OR=2.01,95%CI:1.39–2.91)were predictors of cardioembolic stroke in the oldest age group.By contrast,heavy smoking,heart valve disease,hypertension,headache,early seizures,sensory deficit,and involvement of the posterior cerebral artery were independently associated with cardioembolic stroke in the younger group.Conclusions Identification of a differential clinical profile of cardioembolic stroke between patients aged 85 years or more and those younger than 85 years helps clinicians to the optimal management of ischemic infarction in the oldest segment of the population. | Ana Maria Carbajo-García Jonatan Cortés AdriàArboix Joan Massons Laura Díez Enric Vergés Jordi Arboix-Alió Luís García-Eroles | 2019 | Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2019,16,11: | 3 |
| 12 | Pentoxifylline enhances the protective effects of hypertonic saline solution on liver ischemia reperfusion injury through inhibition of oxidative stress显示文摘BACKGROUND:Liver ischemia reperfusion(IR)injury triggers a systemic inflammatory response and is the main cause of organ dysfunction and adverse postoperative outcomes after liver surgery.Pentoxifylline(PTX)and hypertonic saline solution(HTS)have been identified to have beneficial effects against IR injury.This study aimed to investigate if the addition of PTX to HTS is superior to HTS alone for the prevention of liver IR injury. | Vinicius Rocha-Santos Estela RR Figueira Joel A Rocha-Filho Ana MM Coelho Rafael Soraes Pinheiro Telesforo Bacchella Marcel CC Machado Luiz AC D'Albuquerque | 2015 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2015,14,2: | 3 |
| 13 | Diagnostic criteria for autoimmune hepatitis in children: A challenge for pediatric hepatologists显示文摘Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive inflammatory liver disorder that is rare in children and adolescents. AIH has a broad clinical spectrum and a quick response to treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medication. The available diagnosis criteria have limitations and should be evaluated in pediatric populations. Recently, some studies reported that the 2008 simplified diagnostic criteria for AIH could be used in children with high sensibility and specificity. In addition, the authors reported that globulin and immunoglobulin G levels can be used interchangeably for diagnostic purposes. They also demonstrated that the 2008 simplified criteria fail in identifying patients with fulminant hepatic failure. Here, we discuss the limitations of the use of these criteria in pediatric patients and the requirement of more studies to improve the diagnosis of AIH in children. | Priscila Menezes Ferri Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira Débora Marques Miranda Ana Cristina Sim■es e Silva | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,33: | 3 |
| 14 | Menopause and cognitive impairment:A narrative review of current knowledge显示文摘A severe impairment of cognitive function characterizes dementia.Mild cognitive impairment represents a transition between normal cognition and dementia.The frequency of cognitive changes is higher in women than in men.Based on this fact,hormonal factors likely contribute to cognitive decline.In this sense,cognitive complaints are more common near menopause,a phase marked by a decrease in hormone levels,especially estrogen.Additionally,a tendency toward worsened cognitive performance has been reported in women during menopause.Vasomotor symptoms(hot flashes,sweating,and dizziness),vaginal dryness,irritability and forgetfulness are common and associated with a progressive decrease in ovarian function and a subsequent reduction in the serum estrogen concentration.Hormone therapy(HT),based on estrogen with or without progestogen,is the treatment of choice to relieve menopausal symptoms.The studies conducted to date have reported conflicting results regarding the effects of HT on cognition.This article reviews the main aspects of menopause and cognition,including the neuroprotective role of estrogen and the relationship between menopausal symptoms and cognitive function.We present and discuss the findings of the central observational and interventional studies on HT and cognition. | Délio Marques Conde Roberto Carmignani Verdade Ana L R Valadares Lucas F B Mella Adriana OrcesiPedro Lucia Costa-Paiva | 2021 | World Journal of Psychiatry2021,11,8: | 3 |
| 15 | Pentoxifylline 通过 TNF- 合成和 TGF-1 基因表示的下面规定改进肝新生显示文摘 AIM:To investigate the mechanism of pentoxifylline(PTX)improvement in liver regeneration.RESULTS:Rats were randomized into 4 groups:Control rats;Sham-sham-operation rats;Saline-70% hepatectomy plus saline solution;PTX-70%hepatectomy plus PTX.At 2 and 6 h after hepatectomy,aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interleukin-6(IL-6)serum and hepatic tissue levels were determined.Tumor growth factor(TGF)-β1 gene expression in liver tissue was evaluated 24 h after hepatectomy by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis.Proliferation was analyzed by mitotic index and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)staining 48 h after hepatectomy.RESULTS:TNF-α and IL-6 serum levels increased at 2 and 6 h after hepatectomy.At 2 h after hepatectomy serum PTX was reduced but not hepatic levels of TNF-α and IL-6.A decrease in liver TGF-β1 gene expression and an increase in mitotic index and PCNA after hepatectomy were observed in the PTX treatment group in comparison to the saline group.CONCLUSION:PTX improves liver regeneration by a mechanism related to down regulation of TNF-α production and TGF-β1 gene expression. | Rodrigo Bronze Martino Ana Maria Mendona Coelho Márcia Saldanha Kubrusly Regina Leito Sandra Nassa Sampietre Marcel Cerqueira Cesar Machado Telesforo Bacchella Luiz Augusto Carneiro D’Albuquerque | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2012,4,6: | 2 |

| 17 | Beneficial effects of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive K^+ channel opener on liver ischemia/reperfusion injury显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of diazoxide administration on liver ischemia/reperfusion injury.METHODS:Wistar male rats underwent partial liver ischemia performed by clamping the pedicle from the medium and left anterior lateral segments for 1 h under mechanical ventilation.They were divided into 3 groups:Control Group,rats submitted to liver manipulation,Saline Group,rats received saline,and Diazoxide Group,rats received intravenous injection diazoxide(3.5 mg/kg) 15 min before liver reperfusion.4 h and 24 h after reperfusion,blood was collected for determination of aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT),tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-10(IL-10),nitrite/nitrate,creatinine and tumor growth factor-β1(TGF-β1).Liver tissues were assembled for mitochondrial oxidation and phosphorylation,malondialdehyde(MDA) content,and histologic analysis.Pulmonary vascular permeability and myeloperoxidase(MPO) were also determined.RESULTS:Four hours after reperfusion the diazoxide group presented with significant reduction of AST(2009 ± 257 U/L vs 3523 ± 424 U/L,P = 0.005); ALT(1794 ± 295 U/L vs 3316 ± 413 U/L,P = 0.005); TNF-α(17 ± 9 pg/mL vs 152 ± 43 pg/mL,P = 0.013; IL-6(62 ± 18 pg/mL vs 281 ± 92 pg/mL); IL-10(40 ± 9 pg/mL vs 78 ± 10 pg/mL P = 0.03),and nitrite/nitrate(3.8 ± 0.9 μmol/L vs 10.2 ± 2.4 μmol/L,P = 0.025) when compared to the saline group.A significant reduction in liver mitochondrial dysfunction was observed in the diazoxide group compared to the saline group(P < 0.05).No differences in liver MDA content,serum creatinine,pulmonary vascular permeability and MPO activity were observed between groups.Twenty four hours after reperfusion the diazoxide group showed a reduction of AST(495 ± 78 U/L vs 978 ± 192 U/L,P = 0.032); ALT(335 ± 59 U/L vs 742 ± 182 U/L,P = 0.048),and TGF-β1(11 ± 1 ng/mL vs 17 ± 0.5 ng/mL,P = 0.004) serum levels when compared to the saline group.The control group did not present alterations when compared to the diazoxide and saline groups.CONCLUSION:Diazoxide maintains liver mitochondrial function,increases liver tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury,and reduces the systemic inflammatory response.These effects require further evaluation for using in a clinical setting. | Mateus Antunes Nogueira Ana Maria Mendona Coelho Sandra Nassa Sampietre Rosely Antunes Patzina Fabiano Pinheiro da Silva Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'Albuquerque Marcel Cerqueira Cesar Machado | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,41: | 2 |
| 18 | 抑郁症的非药物治疗:系统性综述与证据图显示文摘背景抑郁症非药物治疗的疗效比较目前仍然不清楚。方法我们对一些系统性综述作了概述,回顾了随机对照试验(RCT),比较抑郁症非药物治疗的有效性和认知行为治疗(CBT)。对多个电子数据库在2016年2月之前发表的所有文献进行了检索,不限制语言。成对的评阅人进行资料纳入、数据提炼并评估偏倚的风险。在适用的时候进行了荟萃分析。结果我们收录了367项RCT,纳入了约2000名患者,进行了11种治疗,导出17项独立的头对头比较。通过标准化的量表评估,发现CBT、自然疗法、行为干预与躯体活动干预可以降低抑郁的严重程度。然而,这些非药物干预的相对疗效仍然缺乏。这些干预对临床缓解和复发的效果不清楚。CBT的发生率比抗抑郁药物更低。局限性由于证据缺乏一致性、证据不清或偏倚风险高,导致证据的质量只是低到中等,限制了我们研究结果的可信度。结论抑郁症的非药物治疗能减少抑郁症状,在轻度到重度抑郁症患者中,应当合并抗抑郁药物治疗,一同进行。对于非药物治疗的选择,应当根据患者的价值观、偏好、临床和社会因素来与患者共同作出决定。 | Wigdan H Farah Mouaz Alsawas Maria Mainou Fares Alahdab Magdoleen H Farah Ahmed T Ahmed Essa A Mohamed Jehad Almasri Michael R Gionfriddo Ana Castaneda-Guarderas Khaled Mohammed Zhen Wang Noor Asi Craig N Sawchuk Mark D Williams Larry J Prokop M Hassan Murad Annie LeBlanc | 2017 | 英国医学杂志中文版2017,20,11: | 2 |

| 20 | First characterization of endophytic Corynespora cassiicola isolates with variant cassiicolin genes recovered from rubber trees in Brazil显示文摘Corynespora cassiicola is the causal agent of Corynespora Leaf Fall(CLF)disease.CLF is one of the most important fungal diseases of rubber trees in Asia and Africa but disease outbreaks have not been reported in South America.Cassiicolin,a small cysteine-rich glycoprotein secreted by the pathogenic C.cassiicola isolate CCP,was previously identified as a potential disease effector in rubber tree.Recently,the cassiicolin-encoding gene(Cas1)was characterized and shown to be expressed in the early phase of infection.In this study,we investigated whether previously undetected strains of C.cassiicola are present in South American rubber plantations by examining the fungal endophyte population found in asymptomatic rubber tree leaves.Four isolates were identified as C.cassiicola.Genes encoding new forms of the cassiicolin precursor protein(Cas3 and Cas4)were identified from these isolates.Three of four isolates were able to induce symptoms on the cultivar they were isolated from in a detached leaf assay,with different kinetics and intensities.One isolate had the same pathogenicity profile as the pathogenic isolate CCP;the other two isolates developed symptoms late during the course of infection,suggesting saprotrophic capabilities.However,no Cas3 or Cas4 transcripts could be detected upon inoculation with the endophytic isolates,whereas the reference gene Cas1 was expressed upon inoculation with the CCP isolate.This work demonstrated that C.cassiicola is present in South America in an endophytic form and that it may evolve from an endophytic to a saprophytic or even potentially pathogenic life style. | Marine Déon Ana Scomparin Aude Tixier Carlos R.R.Mattos Thierry Leroy Marc Seguin Patricia Roeckel-Drevet Valérie Pujade-Renaud | 2012 | Fungal Diversity2012,,3: | 2 |
