2Proposal of an ultrasonographic classification for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: Echinococcosis multilocularis Ulm classification-ultrasound显示文摘AIM: To establish an ultrasonographic classification based on a large sample of patients with confirmed hepatic alveolar echinococcosis(AE).METHODS: Clinical data and ultrasonography(US) findings of 185 patients(100 males; 85 females; mean age at diagnosis: 51.4 ± 17.6 years; mean age at time of US examination: 58.7 ± 18.2 years) were retrospectively reviewed with respect to the US morphology of hepatic AE lesions. The sonomorphological findings were grouped according to a five-part classification scheme.RESULTS: Application of the new classification resulted in the following distribution of sonomorphological patterns among the patients examined: hailstorm(54.1%); pseudocystic(13.5%); ossification(13.0%); hemangioma-like(8.1%); and metastasis-like(6.5%). Only 4.9% of lesions could not be assigned to a sonomorphological pattern.CONCLUSION: The sonomorphological classification proposed in the present study facilitates the diagnosis,interpretation and comparison of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in routine practice and in the context of scientific studies.Wolfgang Kratzer Beate Gruener Tanja EM Kaltenbach Sarina Ansari-Bitzenberger Peter Kern Michael Fuchs Richard A Mason Thomas FE Barth Mark M Haenle Andreas Hillenbrand Suemeyra Oeztuerk Tilmann Graeter 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,43:16
3Dual-sugar tests of small intestinal permeability are poor predictors of bacterial infections and mortality in cirrhosis: a prospective study显示文摘AIM: To prospectively analyze the impact of increased intestinal permeability(IP) on mortality and the occurrence of infections in patients with cirrhosis.METHODS: IP was quantified using the lactulose/mannitol(L/M) test in 46 hospitalized patients with cirrhosis(25 Child-Pugh A/B, 21 Child-Pugh C) and in 16 healthy controls. Markers of inflammation [LPSbinding protein, Interleukin-6(IL-6)] and enterocyte death [intestinal fatty-acid binding protein(I-FABP)] were determined in serum using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Patients were followed for one year and assessed for survival, liver transplantation, the necessity of hospitalization and the occurrence of bacterial infections. The primary endpoint of the study was defined as differences in survival between patients with pathological and without pathological lactulose/mannitol test.RESULTS: Thirty-nine(85%) patients with cirrhosis had a pathologically increased IP index(L/M ratio > 0.07) compared to 4(25%) healthy controls(P < 0.0001). The IP index correlated with the ChildPugh score(r = 0.484, P = 0.001) and with serum IL-6(r = 0.342, P = 0.02). Within one year, nineteen(41%) patients developed a total of 33 episodes of hospitalization with bacterial or fungal infections. Although patients who developed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP)(n = 7) had a higher IP index than patients who did not(0.27 vs 0.14, P = 0.018), the baseline IP index did not predict time to infection, infection-free survival or overall survival, neither when assessed as linear variable, as tertiles, nor dichotomized using an established cut-off. In contrast, model for end-stage liver disease score, Child-Pugh score, the presence of ascites, serum IL-6 and I-FABP were univariate predictors of infection-free survival.CONCLUSION: Although increased IP is a frequent phenomenon in advanced cirrhosis and may predispose to SBP, it failed to predict infection-free and overall survival in this prospective cohort study.Anika Vogt Philipp A Reuken Sven Stengel Andreas Stallmach Tony Bruns 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,11:8
4导致儿童期肥胖的生命早期危险因素:队列研究显示文摘目的确定早年(3岁以内)导致英国儿童肥胖的危险因素。设计前瞻性队列研究。方法Avon英国父母及儿童纵向调查研究。参与者参与队列研究的8234名年龄为7岁的儿童以及亚组的909名重点儿童,后者需额外提供与早期发育有关并涉及可能导致肥胖的各种资料。诊断标准7岁儿童体重指数≥95百分位确定为肥胖,参考1990年英国人口调查的诊断标准。结果经过最终验证,在假设的25项危险因素中有8项与肥胖有关:父母肥胖(父母双方校正后的相对危险度10.44,95%可信区间5.11~21.32);最早期(43个月内)的体重指数或体重反弹升高(校正后的相对危险度15.00,95%可信区间5.32~42.30);3岁时每周看电视的时间超过8小时(校正后的相对危险度1.55,95%可信区间1.13~2.12);追赶性生长(校正后的相对危险度2.60,95%可信区间1.09~6.16);8个月(校正后的相对危险度3.13,95%可信区间1.43~6.85)和18个月(校正后的相对危险度2.65,95%可信区间1.25~5.59)时体重的标准差值;1岁时体重增加值(校正后的相对危险度1.06,95%可信区间1.02~1.10,体重每增加100g);出生体重,每100g(校正后的相对危险度1.05,95%可信区间1.03~1.07);3岁时睡眠不足(<10.5小时,校正后的相对危险度1.45,95%可信区间1.10~1.89)。结论儿童期肥胖可能与8项危险因素有关。John J Reilly Julie Amstrong Ahmad R Dorosty Pauline M Emmett A Ness I Rogers Colin Steer Andrea Sherriff Children Study Team 冯凯 2005英国医学杂志中文版2005,8,5:8
5Helicobacter pylori and corpus gastric pathology are associated with lower serum ghrelin显示文摘AIM To evaluate the association of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), cag A genotype, and type of gastric pathology with ghrelin, leptin and nutritional status.METHODS Fasted dyspeptic adults(18-70 years) referred for an upper digestive endoscopy were enrolled in this crosssectional study. Height and weight were assessed for body mass index(BMI) calculation. A sociodemographic survey was administered and nutrient intake was evaluated with 24 h dietary recalls. Serum total ghrelin and leptin levels were analyzed by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. 13 C-Urea Breath Test was performed and four gastric biopsies were obtained during endoscopy for histopathology and H. pylori DNA amplification and genotyping. Data analysis was performed using χ2, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation and linear regression.RESULTS One hundred and sixty-three patients(40.8 ± 14.0 years), 98/65 females/males, were included. Overall, persistent H. pylori prevalence was 53.4%(95%CI: 45.7%-65.8%). Neither nutrient intake nor BMI differed significantly between H. pylori positive and negative groups. Serum ghrelin was significantly lower in infected patients [median 311.0 pg/m L(IQR 230.0-385.5)] than in uninfected ones [median 355.0 pg/m L(IQR 253.8-547.8)](P = 0.025), even after adjusting for BMI and gender(P = 0.03). Ghrelin levels tended to be lower in patients carrying cag A positive strains both in the antrum and the corpus; however, differences with those carrying cag A negative strains did not reach statistical significance(P = 0.50 and P = 0.49, respectively). In addition, the type and severity of gastric pathology in the corpus was associated with lower serum ghrelin(P = 0.04), independently of H.pylori status. Conversely, leptin levels did not differ significantly between infected and uninfected patients [median 1.84 ng/m L(0.80-4.85) vs 1.84 ng/m L(0.50-5.09),(P = 0.51)]. CONCLUSION H. pylori infection and severity of gastric corpus pathology are associated with lower serum ghrelin. Further studies could confirm a lower ghrelin prevalence in cag A-positive patients.Paula Mantero Gonzalo Sebastián Matus Rodolfo Ernesto Corti Ana María Cabanne Gerardo Gabriel Zerbetto de Palma Liliana Marchesi Olid María Marta Piskorz Marcela Beatriz Zubillaga Mariana Andrea Janjetic Cinthia Gabriela Goldman 2018World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,3:8
6Successful photodynamic therapy for biliary papillomatosis:A case report显示文摘Papillomatosis of the bile duct is a rare disease with a high risk of malignant transformation. Therapeutical options include partial hepatectomy and liver transplantation. A previously healthy 65-years old male developed jaundice and right upper abdominal quadrant pain in 1996. A villous adenoma of the distal bile duct was diagnosed. A Whipple procedure was performed. In 2002 the patient turned symptomatic again. Another adenoma was found in the right hepatic duct resulting in a right hepatectomy. Two years later the patient again developed cholestasis. After drainage of the left hepatic duct with a percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) catheter, a recurrent biliary adenomatosis was diagnosed by cholangioscopy. As there was no surgical option left, the patient received photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the recurrent biliary papillomatosis. Three mo after he received further photodynamic therapies, the bile duct epithelium appeared normal and the patient had no signs of adenomatosis, both macroscopically and histologically. The follow-up cholangioscopy in late 2005 revealed only a small papilloma without the need for intervention. In early 2006, the patient died of multi organ failure without signs of extrahepatic cholestasis or cholangitis at the age of 75, 10 years after the diagnosis of biliary papillomatosis was established. The patient exceeded the average life expectancy of patients with biliary papillomatosis by far. Thus, PDT might be a sufficient therapeutic option for recurrent papillomatosis patients with no significant side effects.Lars P Bechmann Philip Hilgard Andrea Frilling Brigitte Schumacher Hideo A Baba Guido Gerken Thomas Zoepf 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,26:7
7Subclinical carotid atherosclerosis predicts all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in obese patients with negative exercise echocardiography显示文摘BACKGROUND Obesity is a major health problem due to its high prevalence. The relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease is unclear. Some studies agree that certain conditions associated with obesity, such as physical inactivity or cardiovascular risk factors, are responsible for cardiovascular risk excess among obese people. Carotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaques(CP) have been associated with cardiovascular adverse events in healthy populations, and recent data suggest a higher prevalence of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in obese and metabolically unhealthy patients. However, there are no studies correlating subclinical atherosclerosis and adverse events(AE) in obese subjects.AIM To determine the association between carotid disease and AE in obese patients with negative exercise echocardiography(EE).METHODS From January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2010, 2000 consecutive patients with a suspicion of coronary artery disease were submitted for EE and carotid ultrasonography. Exclusion criteria included previous vascular disease, left ventricular ejection fraction < 50%, positive EE, significant valvular heart disease and inferior to submaximal EE. An AE was defined as all-cause mortality,myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as CP presence according to Manheim and the American Society of Echocardiography Consensus.RESULTS Of the 652 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 226(34.7%) had body mass indexes ≥ 30 kg/m2, and 76 of them(33.6%) had CP. During a mean follow-up time of 8.2(2.1) years, 27 AE were found(11.9%). Mean event-free survival at 1, 5 and 10 years was 99.1%(0.6), 95.1%(1.4) and 86.5%(2.7), respectively. In univariate analysis, CP predicted AE [hazard ratio(HR) 2.52, 95% confidence interval(CI) 1.17-5.46; P = 0.019]. In multivariable analysis, the presence of CP remained a predictor of AE(HR 2.26, 95%CI 1.04-4.95, P = 0.041). Other predictors identified were glomerular filtration rate(HR 0.98, 95%CI 0.96-0.99; P= 0.023), peak metabolic equivalents(HR 0.83, 95%CI 0.70–0.99, P = 0.034) and moderate mitral regurgitation(HR 5.02, 95%CI 1.42–17.75, P = 0.012).CONCLUSION Subclinical atherosclerosis defined by CP predicts AE in obese patients with negative EE. These patients could benefit from aggressive prevention measures.Rafael Vidal-Perez Raúl Franco-Gutiérrez Alberto J Pérez-Pérez Virginia Franco-Gutiérrez Alberto Gascón-Vázquez Andrea López-López Ana María Testa-Fernández Carlos González-Juanatey 2019World Journal of Cardiology2019,11,1:7
8Role of minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer显示文摘Rectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide.Surgical resection for rectal cancer usually requires a proctectomy with respective lymphadenectomy(total mesorectal excision).This has traditionally been performed transabdominally through an open incision.Over the last thirty years,minimally invasive surgery platforms have rapidly evolved with the goal to accomplish the same quality rectal resection through a less invasive approach.There are currently three resective modalities that complement the traditional open operation:(1)Laparoscopic surgery;(2)Robotic surgery;and(3)Transanal total mesorectal excision.In addition,there are several platforms to carry out transluminal local excisions(without lymphadenectomy).Evidence on the various modalities is of mixed to moderate quality.It is unreasonable to expect a randomized comparison of all options in a single trial.This review aims at reviewing in detail the various techniques in regard to intra-/perioperative benchmarks,recovery and complications,oncological and functional outcomes.Kurt A Melstrom Andreas M Kaiser 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,30:5
9Adjuvant therapy sparing in rectal cancer achieving complete response after chemoradiation显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the long-term results of conventional chemoradiotherapy and laparoscopic mesorectal excision in rectal adenocarcinoma patients without adjuvant therapy.METHODS:Patients with biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum staged cT3-T4 by endoscopic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging received neoadjuvant continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil for five weeks and concomitant radiotherapy.Laparoscopic surgery was planned after 5-8 wk.Patients diagnosed with ypT0N0 stage cancer were not treated with adjuvant therapy according to the protocol.Patients with ypT1-2N0 or ypT3-4 or N+were offered 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant treatment on an individual basis.An external cohort was used as a reference for the findings.RESULTS:One hundred and seventy six patients were treated with induction chemoradiotherapy and 170underwent total mesorectal excision.Cancer staging of ypT0N0 was achieved in 26/170(15.3%)patients.After a median follow-up of 58.3 mo,patients withypT0N0 had five-year disease-free and overall survival rates of 96%(95%CI:77-99)and 100%,respectively.We provide evidence about the natural history of patients with localized rectal cancer achieving a complete response after preoperative chemoradiation.The inherent good prognosis of these patients will have implications for clinical trial design and care of patients.CONCLUSION:Withholding adjuvant chemotherapy after complete response following standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and laparoscopic mesorectal excision might be safe within an experienced multidisciplinary team.Xabier García-Albéniz Rosa Gallego Ralf Dieter Hofheinz Gloria Fernández-Esparrach Juan Ramón Ayuso-Colella Josep Antoni Bombí Carles Conill Miriam Cuatrecasas Salvadora Delgado Angels Ginés Rosa Miquel Mario Pagés Estela Pineda Verónica Pereira Aarón Sosa Oscar Reig Iván Victoria Luis Feliz Antonio María de Lacy Antoni Castells Iris Burkholder Andreas Hochhaus Joan Maurel 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,42:5

17Double-layer graphene for enhanced tunable infrared plasmonics显示文摘Graphene is emerging as a promising material for photonic applications owing to its unique optoelectronic properties.Graphene supports tunable,long-lived and extremely confined plasmons that have great potential for applications such as biosensing and optical communications.However,in order to excite plasmonic resonances in graphene,this material requires a high doping level,which is challenging to achieve without degrading carrier mobility and stability.Here,we demonstrate that the infrared plasmonic response of a graphene multilayer stack is analogous to that of a highly doped single layer of graphene,preserving mobility and supporting plasmonic resonances with higher oscillator strength than previously explored single-layer devices.Particularly,we find that the optically equivalent carrier density in multilayer graphene is larger than the sum of those in the individual layers.Furthermore,electrostatic biasing in multilayer graphene is enhanced with respect to single layer due to the redistribution of carriers over different layers,thus extending the spectral tuning range of the plasmonic structure.The superior effective doping and improved tunability of multilayer graphene stacks should enable a plethora of future infrared plasmonic devices with high optical performance and wide tunability.Daniel Rodrigo Andreas Tittl Odeta Limaj F Javier García de Abajo Valerio Pruneri Hatice Altug 2017Light(Science & Applications)2017,6,1:3
18Rhubarb extract partially improves mucosal integrity in chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis显示文摘AIM To investigate the effects of orally gavaged aqueous rhubarb extract(RE) on 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)-induced intestinal mucositis in rats. METHODS Female Dark Agouti rats(n = 8/group) were gavaged daily(1 mL) with water, high-dose RE(HDR; 200 mg/kg) or low-dose RE(LDR; 20mg/kg) for eight days. Intestinal mucositis was induced(day 5) with 5-FU(150 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection. Intestinal tissue samples were collected for myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity and histological examination. Xenopus oocytes expressing aquaporin 4 water channels were prepared to examine the effect of aqueous RE on cell volume, indicating a potential mechanism responsible for modulating net fluid absorption and secretion in the gastrointestinal tract. Statistical significance was assumed at P < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA. RESULTS B o d y w e i g h t w a s s i g n i f i c a n t l y r e d u c e d i n r a t s administered 5-FU compared to healthy controls(P < 0.01). Rats administered 5-FU significantly increased intestinal MPO levels(≥ 307%; P < 0.001), compared to healthy controls. However, LDR attenuated this effect in 5-FU treated rats, significantly decreasing ileal MPO activity(by 45%; P < 0.05), as compared to 5-FU controls. 5-FU significantly reduced intestinal mucosal thickness(by ≥ 29% P < 0.001) as compared to healthy controls. LDR significantly increased ileal mucosal thickness in 5-FU treated rats(19%; P < 0.05) relative to 5-FU controls. In xenopus oocytes expressing AQP4 water channels, RE selectively blocked water influx into the cell, induced by a decrease in external osmotic pressure. As water efflux was unaltered by the presence of extracellular RE, the directional flow of water across the epithelial barrier, in the presence of extracellular RE, indicated that RE may alleviate water loss across the epithelial barrier and promote intestinal health in chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis.CONCLUSION In summary, low dose RE improves selected parameters of mucosal integrity and reduces ileal inflammation, manifesting from 5-FU-induced intestinal mucositis.Juliana E Bajic Georgina L Eden Lorrinne S Lampton Ker Y Cheah Kerry A Lymn Jinxin V Pei Andrea J Yool Gordon S Howarth 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,37:3
19CagA EPIYA polymorphisms in Colombian Helicobacter pylori strains and their influence on disease-associated cellular responses显示文摘AIM: To investigate the influence of the CagA diversity in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) strains from Colombia on the host cell biology. METHODS: Eighty-four H. pylori-cagA positive strains with different Glu-Pro-Ile-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) motifs patterns, isolated from patients with gastritis (n=17), atrophic gastritis (n=17), duodenal ulcer (n=16), intestinal metaplasia (n=16) and gastric cancer (n=18), were included. To determine the integrity of the cag pathogenicity island (cag PAI) we evaluated the presence of cagA, cagT, cagE, and cag10 genes by polymerase chain reaction. AGS gastric epithelial cellswere infected with each strain and assayed for translo-cation and tyrosine phosphorylation of CagA by western blot, secretion of interleukin-8 (IL-8) by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay after taking supernatants from cocultures and cell elongation induction. For cell elongation quantification, coculture photographs were taken and the proportion of 'hummingbird' cells (>15 μm) was determined. RESULTS: Overall 72% (60/84) of the strains were found to harbor a functional cag PAI. Levels of phos-phorylated CagA were significantly higher for isolates from duodenal ulcer than the ones in strains from gas-tritis, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and gastric cancer (49.1% ± 23.1% vs 21.1% ± 19.5%, P < 0.02; 49.1% ± 23.1% vs 26.2%±14.8%, P<0.045; 49.1% ± 23.1% vs 21.5% ± 19.5%, P<0.043 and 49.1% ± 23.1% vs 29.5% ± 27.1%, P < 0.047 respectively). We observed variable IL-8 expression levels ranging from 0 to 810 pg/mL and from 8.8 to 1442 pg/mL at 6 h and 30 h post-infection, respectively. cagPAI-defective strains did not induce detectable levels of IL-8 at 6 h post-infection. At 30 h post-infection all strains induced IL-8 expression in AGS cells, although cagPAI-defective strains induced significantly lower levels of IL-8 than strains with a functional cagPAI (57.1 ± 56.6 pg/mL vs 513.6 ± 338.6 pg/mL,P < 0.0001). We did not observe differences in the extent of cell elongation induction between strains with a functional or a defective cagPAI in 6 h cocultures. At 24 h post infection strains with functionalcagPAI showed high diversity in the extent of hummingbird phenotype induction ranging from 7% to 34%. cag PAI defective strains induced significantly lower levels of elongation than strains with functional cag-PAI with one or more than one EPIYA-C motif (15.1% ± 5.2%vs 18.9% ± 4.7%,P < 0.03; and 15.1% ± 5.2% vs 20.0% ± 5.1%, P < 0.003 respectively). No differences were observed in cellular elongation inductionor IL-8 expression among H. pylori strains bearing one and more than one EPIYA-C motifs, neither at 6 h nor at 24 h of coculture. There were no associations between the levels of induction of cell elongation or IL-8 expression and number of EPIYA motifs or pathology. CONCLUSION: The present work describes a lack of association between H. pylori CagA protein EPIYA motifs variations from Colombian isolates and disease-associated cellular responses.Carlos Alberto Fajardo Andrés Javier Quiroga Andrea Coronado Karen Labrador Nicole Acosta Pilar Delgado Carlos Jaramillo María Mercedes Bravo 2013World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2013,5,3:3
20Superior LSPR substrates based on electromagnetic decoupling for on-a-chip high-throughput label-free biosensing显示文摘Localized surface plasmon resonance(LSPR)biosensing based on supported metal nanoparticles offers unparalleled possibilities for high-end miniaturization,multiplexing and high-throughput label-free molecular interaction analysis in real time when integrated within an opto-fluidic environment.However,such LSPR-sensing devices typically contain extremely large regions of dielectric materials that are open to molecular adsorption,which must be carefully blocked to avoid compromising the device readings.To address this issue,we made the support essentially invisible to the LSPR by carefully removing the dielectric material overlapping with the localized plasmonic fields through optimized wet-etching.The resulting LSPR substrate,which consists of gold nanodisks centered on narrow SiO2 pillars,exhibits markedly reduced vulnerability to nonspecific substrate adsorption,thus allowing,in an ideal case,the implementation of thicker and more efficient passivation layers.We demonstrate that this approach is effective and fully compatible with state-of-the-art multiplexed real-time biosensing technology and thus represents the ideal substrate design for high-throughput label-free biosensing systems with minimal sample consumption.Srdjan S Aćimović Hana Šípová Gustav Emilsson Andreas B Dahlin Tomasz J Antosiewicz Mikael Käll 2017Light(Science & Applications)2017,6,1:3
