| 1 | Efficacy of transcatheter embolization/chemoembolization (TAE/TACE) for the treatment of single hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy of transcatheter embolization/chemoembolization (TAE/TACE) in cirrhotic patients with single hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not suitable for surgical resection and percutaneous ablation therapy. METHODS:A cohort of 176 consecutive cirrhotic patients with single HCC undergoing TAE/TACE was reviewed; 162 patients had at least one image examination (helical CT scan or triphasic contrastenhanced MRI) after treatment and were included into the study. TAE was performed with Lipiodol followed by Gelfoam embolization; TACE was performed with Farmorubicin prepared in sterile drip at a dose of 50 mg/m2,infused over 30 min using a peristaltic pump,and followed by Lipiodol and Gelfoam embolization. RESULTS:Patients characteristics were:mean age,62 years; male/female 117/45; Child-Pugh score 6.2 ± 1.1; MELD 8.7 ± 2.3; mean HCC size,3.6 (range 1.0-12.0) cm. HCC size class was ≤ 2.0 cm,n = 51; 2.1-3.0 cm,n = 35; 3.1-4.0 cm,n = 29; 4.1-5.0 cm,n = 22; 5.1-6.0 cm,n = 11; and > 6.0 cm,n = 14. Patients received a total of 368 TAE/TACE (mean 2.4 ± 1.7). Complete tumor necrosis was obtained in 94 patients (58%),massive (90%-99%) necrosis in 16 patients (10%),partial (50%-89%) necrosis in 18 patients (11%) and poor (< 50%) necrosis in the remaining 34 patients (21%). The rate of complete necrosis according to the HCC size class was:69%,69%,52%,68%,50% and,13% for lesions of ≤ 2.0,2.1-3.0,3.1-4.0,4.1-5.0,5.1-6.0,and > 6.0 cm,respectively. Kaplan-Mayer survival at 24-mo was 88%,68%,59%,59%,45%,and 53% for lesions of ≤ 2.0,2.1-3.0,3.1-4.0,4.1-5.0,5.1-6.0,and > 6.0 cm,respectively. CONCLUSION:Our study showed that in cirrhotic patients with single HCC smaller than 6.0 cm,TAE/TACE produces complete local control of tumor in a significant proportion of patients. TAE/TACE is an effective therapeutic option in patients with single HCC not suitable for surgical resection or percutaneous ablation therapies. Further studies should investigate if the new available embolization agents or drug eluting beads may improve the effect on tumor necrosis. | Roberto Miraglia Giada Pietrosi Luigi Maruzzelli Ioannis Petridis Settimo Caruso Gianluca Marrone Giuseppe Mamone Giovanni Vizzini Angelo Luca Bruno Gridelli | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，21： | 38 |
| 2 | A randomized double-blind trial on perioperative administration of probiotics in colorectal cancer patients显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether probiotic bacteria,given perioperatively,might adhere to the colonic mucosa, reduce concentration of pathogens in stools,and modulate the local immune function. METHODS:A randomized,double-blind clinical trial was carried out in 31 subjects undergoing elective colorectal resection for cancer.Patients were allocated to receive either a placebo(group A,n=10),or a dose of 10 7 of a mixture of Bifidobacterium longum(BB536) and Lactobacillus johnsonii(La1)(group B,n=11),or the same mixture at a concentration of 10 9 (group C,n=10).Probiotics,or a placebo,were given orally 2 doses/d for 3 d before operation.The same treatment continued postoperatively from day two to day four. Stools were collected before treatment,during surgery (day 0)and 5 d after operation.During the operation, colonic mucosa samples were harvested to evaluate bacterial adherence and to assess the phenotype of dendritic cells(DCs)and lymphocyte subsets by surface antigen expression(flow cytometry).The presence of BB536 and La1 was evaluated by the random amplified polymorphism DNA method with specific polymerase chain reaction probes. RESULTS:The three groups were balanced for baseline and surgical parameters.BB536 was never found at any time-points studied.At day 0,La1 was present in 6/10(60%)patients in either stools or by biopsy in group C,in 3/11(27.2%)in group B,and none in the placebo group(P=0.02,C vs A).There was a linear correlation between dose given and number of adher- ent La1(P=0.01).The rate of mucosal colonization by enterobacteriacae was 30%(3/10)in C,81.8%(9/11) in B and 70%(7/10)in A(P=0.03,C vs B).The Enterobacteriacae count in stools was 2.4(log10 scale) in C,4.6 in B,and 4.5 in A(P=0.07,C vs A and B). The same trend was observed for colonizing enterococ- ci.La1 was not found at day+5.We observed greater expression of CD3,CD4,CD8,and naive and memory lymphocyte subsets in group C than in group A with a dose response trend(C>B>A).Treatment didnot affect DC phenotype or activation,but after ex vivo stimulation with lipopolysaccharides,groups C and B had a lower proliferation rate compared to group A (P=0.04).Moreover,dendritic phenotypes CD83-123, CD83-HLADR,and CD83-11c(markers of activation) were significantly less expressed in patients colonized with La1(P=0.03 vs not colonized). CONCLUSION:La1,but not BB536,adheres to the colonic mucosa,and affects intestinal microbiota byreducing the concentration of pathogens and modulates local immunity. | Luca Gianotti Lorenzo Morelli Francesca Galbiati Simona Rocchetti Sara Coppola Aldo Beneduce Cristina Gilardini Daniela Zonenschain Angelo Nespoli Marco Braga | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，2： | 18 |
| 3 | Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in adults:A shared position statement of the Italian association for the study of the pancreas显示文摘This is a medical position statement developed by the Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency collaborative group which is a part of the Italian Association for the Study of the Pancreas(AISP).We covered the main diseases associated with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency(EPI)which are of common interest to internists/gastroenterologists,oncologists and surgeons,fully aware that EPI may also occur together with many other diseases,but less frequently.A preliminary manuscript based on an extended literature search(Medline/PubMed,Cochrane Library and Google Scholar)of published reports was prepared,and key recommendations were proposed.The evidence was discussed at a dedicated meeting in Bologna during the National Meeting of the Association in October 2012.Each of the proposed recommendations and algorithms was discussed and an initial consensus was reached.The final draft of the manuscript was then sent to the AISP Council for approval and/or modification.All concerned parties approved the final version of the manuscript in June 2013. | Raffaele Pezzilli Angelo Andriulli Claudio Bassi Gianpaolo Balzano Maurizio Cantore Gianfranco Delle Fave Massimo Falconi Luca Frulloni the Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency collaborative(EPIc) Group | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，44： | 16 |
| 4 | Small-for-size syndrome in adult-to-adult living-related liver transplantation显示文摘Small-for-size syndrome (SFSS) in adult-to-adult living-related donor liver transplantation (LRLT) remains the greatest limiting factor for the expansion of segmental liver transplantation from either cadaveric or living donors. Portal hyperperfusion, venous pathology, and the arterial buffer response signif icantly contribute to clinical and histopathological manifestations of SFSS. Here, we review the technical aspects of surgical and radiological procedures developed to treat SFSS in LRLT, along with the pathophysiology of this condition. | Salvatore Gruttadauria Duilio Pagano Angelo Luca Bruno Gridelli | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，40： | 15 |
| 5 | Negative capsule endoscopy in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding reliable: Recurrence of bleeding on long-term follow-up显示文摘AIM: To assess the rate of recurrent bleeding of the small bowel in patients with obscure bleeding already undergone capsule endoscopy (CE) with negative results. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records related to 696 consecutive CE performed from December 2002 to January 2011, focusing our attention on patients with recurrence of obscure bleeding and negative CE. Evaluating the patient follow-up, we analyzed the recurrence rate of obscure bleeding in patient with a negative CE. Actuarial rates of rebleeding during follow-up were calculated, and factors associated with rebleeding were assessed through an univariate and multivariate analysis. A P value of less than 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) of negative CE were calculated. RESULTS: Two hundred and seven out of 696 (29.7%) CE studies resulted negative in patient with obscure/overt gastrointestinal bleeding. Overall, 489 CE (70.2%) were positive studies. The median follow-up was 24 mo (range 12-36 mo). During follow-up, recurrence of obscure bleeding was observed only in 34 out of 207 negative CE patients (16.4%); 26 out of 34 with obscure overt bleeding and 8 out of 34 with obscure occult bleeding. The younger age (< 65 years) and the onset of bleeding such as melena are independent risk factors of rebleeding after a negative CE (OR = 2.6703, 95%CI: 1.1651-6.1202, P = 0.0203; OR 4.7718, 95%CI: 1.9739-11.5350, P = 0.0005). The rebleeding rate (CE+ vs CE-) was 16.4% vs 45.1% (χ 2 test, P = 0.00001). The sensitivity, specificity, and PPV and NPV were 93.8%, 100%, 100%, 80.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and negative CE had a significantly lower rebleeding rate, and further invasive investigations can be deferred. | Maria Elena Riccioni Riccardo Urgesi Rossella Cianci Gianluca Rizzo Luca D'Angelo Riccardo Marmo Guido Costamagna | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，28： | 14 |

| 8 | Multidisciplinary imaging of liver hydatidosis显示文摘Liver hydatidosis is a parasitic endemic disease affecting extensive areas in our planet,a significant stigma within medicine to manage because of its incidence,possible complications,and diagnostic involvements.The diagnosis of liver hydatidosis should be as fast as possible because of the relevant complications that may arise with disease progression,involving multiple organs and neighboring structures causing disruption,migration,contamination.The aim of this essay is to illustrate the role of imaging as ultrasonography(US),multi detector row computed tomography,and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in the evaluation of liver hydatidosis:the diagnosis,the assessment of extension,the identification of possible complications and the monitoring the response to therapy.US is the screening method of choice.Computed tomography(CT)is indicated in cases in which US is inadequate and has high sensitivity and specificity for calcified hydatid cysts.Magnetic resonance is the best imaging procedure to demonstrate a cystic component and to show a biliary tree involvement.Diagnostic tests such as CT and MRI are mandatory in liver hydatidosis because they allow thorough knowledge regarding lesion size,location,and relations to intrahepatic vascular and biliary structures,providing useful information for effective treatment and decrease in post-operative morbidity.Hydatid disease is classified into four types on the basis of their radiologic appearance. | Gianluca Marrone Francesca Crino' Settimo Caruso Giuseppe Mamone Vincenzo Carollo Mariapina Milazzo Salvatore Gruttadauria Angelo Luca Bruno Gridelli | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，13： | 10 |

| 10 | Analysis of surgical and perioperative complications in seventy-five right hepatectomies for living donor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM: To present an analysis of the surgical and perioperative complications in a series of seventy- five right hepatectomies for living-donation (RHLD) performed in our center. METHODS: From January 2002 to September 2007, we performed 75 RHLD, defined as removal of a portion of the liver corresponding to Couinaud segments 5-8, in order to obtain a graft for adult to adult living-related liver transplantation (ALRLT). Surgical complications were stratified according to the most recent version of the Clavien classification of postoperative surgical complications. The perioperative period was defined as within 90 d of surgery. RESULTS: No living donor mortality was present in this series, no donor operation was aborted and no donors received any blood transfusion. Twenty- three (30.6%) living donors presented one or more episodes of complication in the perioperative period. Seven patients (9.33%) out of 75 developed biliary complications, which were the most common complications in our series.CONCLUSION: The need to define, categorize and record complications when healthy individuals, such as living donors, undergo a major surgical procedure, such as a right hepatectomy, reflects the need for prompt and detailed reports of complications arising in this particular category of patient. Perioperative complications and post resection liver regeneration are not influenced by anatomic variations or patient demographic. | Salvatore Gruttadauria James Wallis Marsh Giovan Battista Vizzini Fabrizio di Francesco Angelo Luca Riccardo Volpes Amadeo Marcos Bruno Gridelli | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，20： | 7 |
| 11 | Cystic echinococcosis of the liver and lung treated by radiofrequency thermal ablation:An ex-vivo pilot experimental study in animal models显示文摘AIM:To evaluate radiofrequency thermal ablation (RTA) for treatment of cystic echinococcosis in animal models (explanted organs).METHODS:Infected livers and lungs from slaughtered animals,10 bovine and two ovine,were collected.Cysts were photographed,and their volume,cyst content,germinal layer adhesion status,wall calcification and presence of daughter or adjacent cysts were evaluated by ultrasound.Some cysts were treated with RTA at 150 W,80℃,7 min.Temperature was monitored inside and outside the cyst.A second needle was placed inside the cyst for pressure stabilization.After treatment,all cysts were sectioned and examined by histology.Cysts were defined as alive if a preserved germinal layer at histology was evident,and as successfully treated if the germinal layer was necrotic.RESULTS:The subjects of the study were 17 cysts (nine hepatic and eight pulmonary),who were treated with RTA.Pathology showed 100% success rate in both hepatic (9/9) and lung cysts (8/8);immediate volume reduction of at least 65%;layer of host tissue necrosis outside the cyst,with average extension of 0.64 cm for liver and 1.57 cm for lung;and endocyst attached to the pericystium both in hepatic and lung cysts with small and focal de novo endocyst detachment in just 3/9 hepatic cysts.CONCLUSION:RTA appears to be very effective in killing hydatid cysts of explanted liver and lung.Bile duct and bronchial wall necrosis,persistence of endocyst attached to pericystium,should help avoid or greatly decrease in vivo post-treatment fistula occurrence and consequent overlapping complications that are common after surgery or percutaneous aspiration,injection and reaspiration.In vivo studies are required to confirm and validate this new therapeutic approach. | Vincenzo Lamonaca Antonino Virga Marta Ida Minervini Roberta Di Stefano Alessio Provenzani Pietro Tagliareni Giovanna Fleres Angelo Luca Giovanni Vizzini Ugo Palazzo Bruno Gridelli | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，26： | 6 |
| 12 | Efficient RT-QuIC seeding activity for α-synuclein in olfactory mucosa samples of patients with Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy显示文摘Background:Parkinson’s disease(PD)is a neurodegenerative disorder whose diagnosis is often challenging because symptoms may overlap with neurodegenerative parkinsonisms.PD is characterized by intraneuronal accumulation of abnormalα-synuclein in brainstem while neurodegenerative parkinsonisms might be associated with accumulation of eitherα-synuclein,as in the case of Multiple System Atrophy(MSA)or tau,as in the case of Corticobasal Degeneration(CBD)and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(PSP),in other disease-specific brain regions.Definite diagnosis of all these diseases can be formulated only neuropathologically by detection and localization ofα-synuclein or tau aggregates in the brain.Compelling evidence suggests that trace-amount of these proteins can appear in peripheral tissues,including receptor neurons of the olfactory mucosa(OM).Methods:We have set and standardized the experimental conditions to extend the ultrasensitive Real Time Quaking Induced Conversion(RT-QuIC)assay for OM analysis.In particular,by using human recombinantα-synuclein as substrate of reaction,we have assessed the ability of OM collected from patients with clinical diagnoses of PD and MSA to induceα-synuclein aggregation,and compared their seeding ability to that of OM samples collected from patients with clinical diagnoses of CBD and PSP.Results:Our results showed that a significant percentage of MSA and PD samples inducedα-synuclein aggregation with high efficiency,but also few samples of patients with the clinical diagnosis of CBD and PSP caused the same effect.Notably,the final RT-QuIC aggregates obtained from MSA and PD samples owned peculiar biochemical and morphological features potentially enabling their discrimination.Conclusions:Our study provide the proof-of-concept that olfactory mucosa samples collected from patients with PD and MSA possess important seeding activities forα-synuclein.Additional studies are required for(i)estimating sensitivity and specificity of the technique and for(ii)evaluating its application for the diagnosis of PD and neurodegenerative parkinsonisms.RT-QuIC analyses of OM and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)can be combined with the aim of increasing the overall diagnostic accuracy of these diseases,especially in the early stages. | Chiara Maria Giulia De Luca Antonio Emanuele Elia Sara Maria Portaleone Federico Angelo Cazzaniga Martina Rossi Edoardo Bistaffa Elena De Cecco Joanna Narkiewicz Giulia Salzano Olga Carletta Luigi Romito Grazia Devigili Paola Soliveri Pietro Tiraboschi Giuseppe Legname Fabrizio Tagliavini Roberto Eleopra Giorgio Giaccone Fabio Moda | 2019 | Translational Neurodegeneration2019，8，1： | 5 |

| 14 | Herb-induced liver injury: Systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND The use of herbal supplements and alternative medicines has been increasing in the last decades.Despite popular belief that the consumption of natural products is harmless,herbs might cause injury to various organs,particularly to the liver,which is responsible for their metabolism in the form of herb-induced liver injury(HILI).AIM To identify herbal products associated with HILI and describe the type of lesion associated with each product.METHODS Studies were retrieved using Medical Subject Headings Descriptors combined with Boolean operators.Searches were run on the electronic databases Scopus,Web of Science,MEDLINE,BIREME,LILACS,Cochrane Library for Systematic Reviews,SciELO,Embase,and Opengray.eu.Languages were restricted to English,Spanish,and Portuguese.There was no date of publication restrictions.The reference lists of the studies retrieved were searched manually.To access causality,the Maria and Victorino System of Causality Assessment in Drug Induced Liver Injury was used.Simple descriptive analysis were used to summarize the results.RESULTS The search strategy retrieved 5918 references.In the final analysis,446 references were included,with a total of 936 cases reported.We found 79 types of herbs or herbal compounds related to HILI.He-Shou-Wu,Green tea extract,Herbalife,kava kava,Greater celandine,multiple herbs,germander,hydroxycut,skullcap,kratom,Gynura segetum,garcinia cambogia,ma huang,chaparral,senna,and aloe vera were the most common supplements with HILI reported.Most of these patients had complete clinical recovery(82.8%).However,liver transplantation was necessary for 6.6%of these cases.Also,chronic liver disease and death were observed in 1.5%and 10.4%of the cases,respectively.CONCLUSION HILI is normally associated with a good prognosis,once the implied product is withdrawn.Nevertheless,it is paramount to raise awareness in the medical and non-medical community of the risks of the indiscriminate use of herbal products. | Vinícius Remus Ballotin Lucas Goldmann Bigarella Ajacio Bandeira de Mello Brandão Raul Angelo Balbinot Silvana Sartori Balbinot Jonathan Soldera | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2021，9，20： | 4 |

| 16 | Clinical epidemiology of chronic viral hepatitis B:A Tuscany real-world large-scale cohort study显示文摘AIM To build a regional database of chronic patients to define the clinical epidemiology of hepatitis B virus(HBV)-infected patients in the Tuscan public health care system.METHODS This study used a cross-sectional cohort design. We evaluated chronic viral hepatitis patients with HBV referred to the outpatient services of 16 hospital units. Information in the case report forms included main demographic data, blood chemistry data, viral hepatitis markers, instrumental evaluations, and eligibility for treatment or ongoing therapy and liver transplantation. RESULTS Of 4015 chronic viral hepatitis patients, 1096(27.3%) were HBV infected. The case report form was correctly completed for only 833 patients(64% males, 36% females; mean age 50.1 ± 15.4). Of these HBV-infected patients, 73% were Caucasian, 21% Asian, 4% Central African, 1% North African and 1% American. Stratifying patients by age and nationality, we found that 21.7% of HBV-infected patients were aged < 34 years(only 2.8% were Italian). The most represented routes of transmission were nosocomial/dental procedures(23%), mother-to-child(17%) and sexual transmission(12%). The most represented HBV genotypes were D(72%) and A(14%). Of the patients, 24.7% of patients were HBe Ag positive, and 75.3% were HBe Ag negative. Of the HBV patients 7% were anti-HDV positive. In the whole cohort, 26.9% were cirrhotic(35.8% aged < 45 years), and 47% were eligible for or currently undergoing treatment, of whom 41.9 % were cirrhotic. CONCLUSION Only 27.3% of chronic viral hepatitis patients were HBV infected. Our results provide evidence of HBV infection in people aged < 34 years, especially in the foreign population not protected by vaccination. In our cohort of patients, liver cirrhosis was also found in young adults. | Cristina Stasi Caterina Silvestri Roberto Berni Maurizia Rossana Brunetto Anna Linda Zignego Cristina Orsini Stefano Milani Liana Ricciardi Andrea De Luca Pierluigi Blanc Cesira Nencioni Donatella Aquilini Alessandro Bartoloni Giampaolo Bresci Santino Marchi Franco Filipponi Piero Colombatto Paolo Forte Andrea Galli Sauro Luchi Silvia Chigiotti Alessandro Nerli Giampaolo Corti Rodolfo Sacco Paola Carrai Angelo Ricchiuti Massimo Giusti Paolo Almi Andrea Cozzi Silvia Carloppi Giacomo Laffi Fabio Voller Francesco Cipriani | 2018 | World Journal of Hepatology2018，10，5： | 3 |
| 17 | Early graft dysfunction following adult-to-adult livingrelated liver transplantation:Predictive factors and outcomes显示文摘AIM:To describe a condition that we define as early graft dysfunction(EGD)which can be identified preoperatively. METHODS:Small-for-size graft dysfunction following living-related liver transplantation(LRLT)is characterized by EGD when the graft-to-recipient body weight ratio(GRBWR)is below 0.8%.However, patients transplanted with GRBWR above 0.8%can develop dysfunction of the graft.In 73 recipients of LRLT(GRBWR>0.8%),we identified 10 patients who developed EGD.The main measures of outcomes analyzed were overall mortality,number of re-transplants and length of stay in days(LOS).Furthermore we analyzed other clinical pre-transplant variables,intraoperative parameters and post transplant data.RESULTS:A trend in favor of the non-EGD group(3-mo actuarial survival 98%vs 88%,P=0.09;3-mo graft mortality 4.7%vs 20%,P=0.07)was observed as well as shorter LOS(13 d vs 41.5 d;P=0.001)and smaller requirement of peri-operative Units of Plasma (4 vs 14;P=0.036).Univariate analysis of pre- transplant variables identified platelet count,serum bilirubin,INR and Meld-Na score as predictors of EGD. In the multivariate analysis transplant Meld-Na score (P=0.025,OR:1.175)and pretransplant platelet count(P=0.043,OR:0.956)were independently associated with EGD. CONCLUSION:EGD can be identified preoperatively and is associated with increased morbidity after LRLT. A prompt recognition of EGD can trigger a timely treatment. | Salvatore Gruttadauria Fabrizio di Francesco Giovanni Battista Vizzini Angelo Luca Marco Spada Davide Cintorino Sergio Li Petri Giada Pietrosi Duilio Pagano Bruno Gridelli | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，36： | 2 |

| 19 | MDCT, MR and interventional radiology in biliary atresia candidates for liver transplantation显示文摘The multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scan and magnetic resonance (MR) of the abdomen play a key role in the work-up to liver transplantation (LT) by identifying congenital anomalies or cirrhosis-related modifications, conditions that can require changes in surgical technique. Moreover, the MDCT and MR scans allow identification of cirrhotic liver hepatic masses, extrahepatic porto-systemic shunts, eventual thrombosis of portal system and radiological signs of portal hypertension associated with biliary atresia (BA). The aim of this paper is to review MDCT, MR imaging and interven-tional radiology procedures performed to evaluate morphological changes and degree of portal hypertension in pediatric patients with end-stage liver disease secondary to BA, who are candidates for LT. Advances in the field of MR, MDCT and in percutaneous minimally invasive techniques have increased the importance of radiology in the management of pediatric patients with BA who are candidates for LT. | Roberto Miraglia Settimo Caruso Luigi Maruzzelli Marco Spada Silvia Riva Marco Sciveres Angelo Luca | 2011 | World Journal of Radiology2011，3，9： | 2 |
| 20 | Liver regeneration after liver resection: Clinical aspects and correlation with infective complications显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether early liver regeneration after resection in patients with hepatic tumors might be influenced by post-operative infective complications.METHODS:A retrospective analysis of 27 liver resections for tumors performed in a single referral center from November 2004 to January 2010.Regeneration was evaluated by multidetector computed tomographyat a mean follow-up of 43.85 d.The Clavien-Dindo classification was used to evaluate postoperative events in the first 6 mo after transplantation,and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definitions were used for healthcare associated infections data.Generalized linear regression models with Gaussian family distribution and log link function were used to reveal the principal promoters of early liver regeneration.RESULTS:Ten of the 27 patients(37%)underwent chemotherapy prior to surgery,with a statistically significant prevalence of patients with metastasis(P=0.007).Eight patients(30%)underwent embolization,3 with primary tumors,and 5 with secondary tumors.Twenty patients(74%)experienced complications,with 12(60%)experiencing Clavien-Dindo Grade 3a to 5 complications.Regeneration≥100%occurred in 10(37%)patients.The predictors were smaller future remnant liver volume(-0.002;P<0.001),and a greater spleen volume/future remnant liver volume ratio(0.499;P=0.01).Patients with a resection of≥5 Couinaud segments experienced greater early regeneration(P=0.04).Nine patients experienced surgical site infections,and in 7 cases Clavien-Dindo Grade 3a to 4 complications were detected(P=0.016).There were no significant differences between patients with primary or secondary tumors,and either onset or infections or severity of surgical complications.CONCLUSION:Regardless of the onset of infective complications,future remnant liver and spleen volumes may be reliable predictors of early liver regeneration after hepatic resection on an otherwise healthy liver. | Duilio Pagano Marco Spada Vishal Parikh Fabio Tuzzolino Davide Cintorino Luigi Maruzzelli Giovanni Vizzini Angelo Luca Alessandra Mularoni Paolo Grossi Bruno Gridelli Salvatore Gruttadauria | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，22： | 2 |
