| 1 | Pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) encompasses a range of liver histology severity and outcomes in the absence of chronic alcohol use.The mildest form is simple steatosis in which triglycerides accumulate within hepatocytes.A more advanced form of NAFLD,nonalcoholic steatohepatitis,includes inflammation and liver cell injury,progressive to cryptogenic cirrhosis.NAFLD has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents.The recent rise in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity likely explains the NAFLD epidemic worldwide.NAFLD is strongly associated with abdominal obesity,type 2 diabetes,and dyslipidemia,and most patients have evidence of insulin resistance.Thus,NAFLD shares many features of the metabolic syndrome(MetS),a highly atherogenic condition,and this has stimulated interest in the possible role of NAFLD in the development of atherosclerosis.Accumulating evidence suggests thatNAFLD is associated with a significantly greater overall mortality than in the general population,as well as with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease(CVD),independently of classical atherosclerotic risk factors.Yet,several studies including the pediatric population have reported independent associations between NAFLD and impaired flow-mediated vasodilatation and increased carotid artery intimal medial thickness-two reliable markers of subclinical atherosclerosis-after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors and MetS.Therefore,the rising prevalence of obesity-related MetS and NAFLD in childhood may lead to a parallel increase in adverse cardiovascular outcomes.In children,the cardiovascular system remains plastic and damage-reversible if early and appropriate interventions are established effectively.Therapeutic goals for NAFLD should address nutrition,physical activity,and avoidance of smoking to prevent not only end-stage liver disease but also CVD. | Lucia Pacifico Valerio Nobili Caterina Anania Paola Verdecchia Claudio Chiesa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,26: | 24 |
| 2 | Mediterranean diet and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is emerging as the most common chronic liver disease, and is characterized by a wide spectrum of fat-liver disorders that can result in severe liver disease and cirrhosis. Inflammation and oxidative stress are the major risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Currently, there is no consensus concerning the pharmacological treatment of NAFLD. However, lifestyle interventions based on exercise and a balanced diet for quality and quantity, are considered the cornerstone of NAFLD management. Mediterranean diet(MD), rich in polyunsaturated fats, polyphenols, vitamins and carotenoids, with their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, has been suggested to be effective in preventing cardiovascular risk factors. In adults, MD has also been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. However, few studies are available on the effects of the MD in both adult and pediatric subjects with NAFLD. Thus, the aims of the present narrative review are to analyze the current clinical evidence on the impact of MD in patients with NAFLD, and to summarize the main mechanisms of action of MD components on this condition. | Caterina Anania Francesco Massimo Perla Francesca Olivero Lucia Pacifico Claudio Chiesa | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,19: | 19 |
| 3 | Model for end-stage liver disease score versus Child score in predicting the outcome of surgical procedures in patients with cirrhosis显示文摘AIM:To determine factors affecting the outcome of patients with cirrhosis undergoing surgery and to compare the capacities of the Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP) and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)score to predict that outcome. METHODS:We reviewed the charts of 195 patients with cirrhosis who underwent surgery at two teaching hospitals over a five-year period.The combined endpoint of death or hepatic decompensation was considered to be the primary endpoint. RESULTS:Patients who reached the endpoint had a higher MELD score,a higher CTP score and were more likely to have undergone an urgent procedure.Among patients undergoing elective surgical procedures,no statistically significant difference was noted in the mean MELD(12.8±3.9 vs 12.6±4.7,P=0.9)or in the mean CTP(7.6±1.2 vs 7.7±1.7,P=0.8)between patients who reached the endpoint and those who did not.Both mean scores were higher in the patients reaching the endpoint in the case of urgent procedures(MELD:22.4± 8.7 vs 15.2±6.4,P=0.0007;CTP:9.9±1.8 vs 8.5±1.8, P=0.008).The performances of the MELD and CTP scores in predicting the outcome of urgent surgery were only fair,without a significant difference between them (AUC=0.755±0.066 for MELD vs AUC=0.696±0.070 for CTP,P=0.3). CONCLUSION:The CTP and MELD scores performedequally,but only fairly in predicting the outcome of urgent surgical procedures.Larger studies are needed to better define the factors capable of predicting the outcome of elective surgical procedures in patients with cirrhosis. | Maarouf A Hoteit Amaar H Ghazale Andrew J Bain Eli S Rosenberg Kirk A Easley Frank A Anania Robin E Rutherford | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,11: | 16 |
| 4 | Consequences of Helicobacter pylori infection in children显示文摘Although evidence is emerging that the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is declining in all age groups, the understanding of its disease spectrum continues to evolve. If untreated, H. pylori infection is lifelong. Although H. pylori typically colonizes the hu-man stomach for many decades without adverse con-sequences, children infected with H. pylori can manifest gastrointestinal diseases. Controversy persists regarding testing (and treating) for H. pylori infection in children with recurrent abdominal pain, chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia, and poor growth. There is evidence of the role of H. pylori in childhood iron deficiency anemia, but the results are not conclusive. The possibility of an inverse relationship between H. pylori and gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as childhood asthma, remains a controversial question. A better understanding of the H. pylori disease spectrum in childhood should lead to clearer recommendations about testing for and treating H. pylori infection in children who are more likely to develop clinical sequelae. | Lucia Pacifico Caterina Anania John F Osborn Flavia Ferraro Claudio Chiesa | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,41: | 11 |
| 5 | T1-weighted dual-echo MRI for fat quantification in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM:To determine in obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing liver fat concentration.METHODS:A case-control study was performed.Cases were 25 obese children with biopsy-proven NAFLD.Controls were 25 obese children matched for age and gender,without NAFLD at ultrasonography and with normal levels of aminotransferases and insulin.Hepatic fat fraction (HFF) by MRI was obtained using a modification of the Dixon method.RESULTS:HFF ranged from 2% to 44% [mean,19.0% (95% CI,15.1-27.4)] in children with NAFLD,while in the controls this value ranged from 0.08% to 4.69% [2.0% (1.3-2.5),P < 0.0001].HFF was highly correlated with histological steatosis (r=0.883,P < 0.0001) in the NAFLD children.According to the histological grade of steatosis,the mean HFF was 8.7% (95% CI,6.0-11.6) for mild,21.6% (15.3-27.0) for moderate,and 39.7% (34.4-45.0) for severe fatty liver infiltration.With a cutoff of 4.85%,HFF had a sensitivity of 95.8% for the diagnosis of histological steatosis ≥ 5%.All control children had HFF lower than 4.85%;thus,the specificity was 100%.After 12 mo,children with weight loss displayed a significant decrease in HFF.CONCLUSION:MRI is an accurate methodology for liver fat quantification in pediatric NAFLD. | Lucia Pacifico Michele Di Martino Carlo Catalano Valeria Panebianco Mario Bezzi Caterina Anania Claudio Chiesa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,25: | 9 |
| 6 | A totally mini-invasive approach for colorectal laparoscopic surgery显示文摘AIM:To study the short-term outcome of patients treated with laparoscopic right colectomy and how intracorporeal anastomosis has improved the outcome.METHODS:We retrospectively examined all patients affected by colorectal cancer who underwent a laparoscopic right colectomy between January 2006 and December 2010 in our department.Our evaluation criteria were:diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma at presurgical biopsy,elective surgery,and the same surgeon.We excluded:emergency surgery,conversions from laparotomic colectomy,and other surgeons.The endpoints we examined were:surgical time,number of lymph nodes removed,length of stay(removal of nasogastric tube,bowel movements,gas evacuation,solid and liquid feeding,hospitalization),and major complications.Seventy-two patients were divided into two groups:intracorporeal anastomosis(39 patients)and extracorporeal anastomosis(33 patients).RESULTS:Significant differences were observed between intracorporeal vs extracorporeal anastomosis,respectively,for surgical times(186.8 min vs 184.1 min,P < 0.001),time to resumption of gas evacuation(3 d vs 3.5 d,P < 0.001),days until resumption of bowel movements(3.8 d vs 4.9 d,P < 0.001),days until resumption of liquid diet(3.5 d vs 4.5 d,P < 0.001),days until resuming a solid diet(4.6 d vs 5.7 d,P < 0.001),and total hospitalization duration(7.4 d vs 8.5 d,P < 0.001).In the intracorporeal group,on average,19 positive lymph nodes were removed;in the extracorporeal group,on average,14 were removed P < 0.001).Thus,intracorporeal anastomosis for right laparoscopic colectomy improved patient outcome by providing faster recovery of nutrition,faster recovery of intestinal function,and shorter hospitalization than extracorporeal anastomosis.CONCLUSION:Short-term outcomes favor intracorporeal anastomosis,confirming that a less traumatic surgical approach improves patient outcome. | Gabriele Anania Mirco Santini Lucia Scagliarini Alice Marzetti Laura Vedana Serafino Marino Claudio Gregorio Giuseppe Resta Giorgio Cavallesco | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,29: | 8 |
| 7 | Pancreatic fat and β-cell function in overweight/obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM: To analyze the associations of pancreatic fat with other fat depots and β-cell function in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS: We examined 158 overweight/obese children and adolescents, 80 with NAFLD [hepatic fat fraction(HFF) ≥ 5%] and 78 without fatty liver. Visceral adipose tissue(VAT), pancreatic fat fraction(PFF) and HFF were determined by magnetic resonance imaging. Estimates of insulin sensitivity were calculated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR), defined by fasting insulin and fasting glucose and whole-body insulin sensitivity index(WBISI), based on mean values of insulin and glucose obtained from oral glucose tolerance test and the corresponding fasting values. Patients were considered to have prediabetes if they had either:(1) impaired fasting glucose, defined as a fasting glucose level ≥ 100 mg/d L to < 126 mg/d L;(2) impaired glucose tolerance, defined as a 2 h glucose concentration between ≥ 140 mg/d L and < 200 mg/d L; or(3) hemoglobin A1 c value of ≥ 5.7% to < 6.5%.RESULTS: PFF was significantly higher in NAFLD patients compared with subjects without liver involvement. PFF was significantly associated with HFF and VAT, as well as fasting insulin, C peptide, HOMA-IR, and WBISI. The association between PFF and HFF was no longer significant after adjusting for age, gender, Tanner stage, body mass index(BMI)-SD score, and VAT. In multiple regression analysis withWBISI or HOMA-IR as the dependent variables, against the covariates age, gender, Tanner stage, BMI-SD score, VAT, PFF, and HFF, the only variable significantly associated with WBISI(standardized coefficient B,-0.398; P = 0.001) as well as HOMA-IR(0.353; P = 0.003) was HFF. Children with prediabetes had higher PFF and HFF than those without. PFF and HFF were significantly associated with prediabetes after adjustment for clinical variables. When all fat depots where included in the same model, only HFF remained significantly associated with prediabetes(OR = 3.38; 95%CI: 1.10-10.4; P = 0.034).CONCLUSION: In overweight/obese children with NAFLD, pancreatic fat is increased compared with those without liver involvement. However, only liver fat is independently related to prediabetes. | Lucia Pacifico Michele Di Martino Caterina Anania Gian Marco Andreoli Mario Bezzi Carlo Catalano Claudio Chiesa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,15: | 5 |
| 8 | Hepatitis B in patients with hematological diseases: An update显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) reactivation(HBVr) in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy is still a hot topic worldwide. Its prevention and management still represents a challenge for specialists dealing with immunosuppressed patients. Aim of this paper is to provide a critical review of the relevant information emerged in the recent literature regarding HBV reactivation following immunosuppressive treatments for oncohematological tumors. A computerized literature search in MEDLINE was performed using appropriate terms arrangement, including English-written literature only or additional relevant articles. Articles published only in abstract form and case reports not giving considerable news were excluded. Clinical manifestation of HBVr can be manifold, ranging from asymptomatic self-limiting anicteric hepatitis to life-threatening fulminant liver failure. In clusters of patients adverse outcomes are potentially predictable. Clinicians should be aware of the inherent risk of HBVr among the different virological categories(active carriers, occult HBV carriers and inactive carriers, the most intriguing category), and classes of immunosuppressive drugs. We recommend that patients undergoing immunosuppressive treatments for hematological malignancies should undergo HBV screening. In case of serological sign(s) of current or past infection with the virus, appropriate therapeutic or preventive strategies are suggested, according to both virological categories, risk of HBVr by immunosuppressive drugsand liver status. Either antiviral drug management and surveillance and pre-emptive approach are examined, commenting the current international recommendations about this debated issue. | Chiara Coluccio Paola Begini Alfredo Marzano Adriano Pellicelli Barbara Imperatrice Giulia Anania Gianfranco Delle Fave Massimo Marignani | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,25: | 5 |
| 9 | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the heart in children and adolescents显示文摘Over the last two decades, the rise in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity explains the emergence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) as the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. As described in adults, children and adolescents with fatty liver display insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and dyslipidemia. Thus NAFLD has emerged as the hepatic component of the metabolic syndrome(MetS) and a strong cardiovascular risk factor even at a very early age. Several studies, including pediatric populations, have reported independent associations between NAFLD and markers of subclinical atherosclerosis including impaired flow-mediated vasodilation, increased carotid artery intima-media thickness, and arterial stiffness, after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors and MetS. Also, it has been shown that NAFLD is associated with cardiac alterations, including abnormal left ventricular structure and impaired diastolic function. The duration of these subclinical abnormalities may be important, because treatment to reverse the process is most likely to be effective earlier in the disease. In the present review, we examine the current evidence on the association between NAFLD and atherosclerosis as well as between NAFLD and cardiac dysfunction in the pediatric population, and discuss briefly the possible biological mechanisms linking NAFLD and cardiovascular changes. We also address the approach to treatment for this increasingly prevalent disease, which is likely to have an important future global impact on the burden of ill health, to prevent not only end-stage liver disease but also cardiovascular disease. | Lucia Pacifico Claudio Chiesa Caterina Anania Antonio De Merulis John Frederick Osborn Sara Romaggioli Eugenio Gaudio | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,27: | 3 |

| 11 | Immune response to vaccines in children with celiac disease显示文摘Celiac disease(CD) is an immune-mediated systemic condition evoked by ingestion of gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible subjects. The disease is featured by a variable combination of clinical signs, specific antibodies, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 haplotypes, and enteropathy. Vaccination is the most potent intervention for infectious disease prevention. Several factors including age, gender, ethnicity, quality and quantity of vaccine antigen, doses, and route of administration can influence immune response to vaccination, although the main cause of variation in the responsiveness among vaccine recipients is host genetic variability. The HLA system has a fundamental role in identifying the antigens introduced into the host with the vaccines and in the development of specific antibodies, and some HLA phenotypes have been associated with a less effective immunological response. The available literature indicates that the immunological response to vaccines in CD children does not differ markedly from that of general population and antibody titres are high enough to provide long-term protection, except for hepatitis B virus vaccine. In this article, we review and discuss the scarce literature in this field in order to provide clinical practice guidelines to achieve the most efficient monitoring of the response to vaccines in pediatric CD patients. | Caterina Anania Francesca Olivero Alessandra Spagnolo Claudio Chiesa Lucia Pacifico | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,18: | 2 |
| 12 | Anomalous behaviour detection using one-class support vector machine and remote sensing images: a case study of algal bloom occurrence in inland waters显示文摘Algal blooms are a frequent subject in scientific discussions and are the focus of many recent studies,mainly due to their adverse effect on society.Given the lack of ground truth data and the need to develop tools for their detection and monitoring,this research proposes a novel method to automate detection.Concepts derived from multi-temporal image series processing,spectral indices and classification with Oneclass Support Vector Machine(OC-SVM)are used in this proposal.Imagery from multi-spectral sensors on Landsat-8 and MODIS were acquired through the Google Earth Engine API(GEE API).In order to evaluate our method,two bloom detection case studies(Lake Erie(USA)and Lake Taihu(China))were performed.Comparisons were made with methods based on spectral index thresholds.Also,to demonstrate the performance of the OC-SVM classifier compared to other machine learning methods,the proposal was adapted to be used with a Random Forest(RF)classifier,having its results added to the analysis.In situ measurements show that the proposed method delivers highly accurate results compared to spectral index thresholding approaches.However,a drawback of the proposal refers to its higher computational cost.The application of the new method to a real-world bloom case is demonstrated. | Pedro Henrique Moraes Ananias Rogério Galante Negri | 2021 | International Journal of Digital Earth2021,14,7: | 2 |
