| 1 | Type 2 diabetes is associated with a worse functional outcome of ischemic stroke显示文摘AIM: To assess whether ischemic stroke severity and outcome is more adverse in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). METHODS: Consecutive patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke between September 2010 and June 2013 were studied prospectively(n = 482; 40.2% males, age 78.8 ± 6.7 years). T2 DM was defined as self-reported T2 DM or antidiabetic treatment. Stroke severity was evaluated with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) score at admission. The outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin scale(m RS) score at discharge and with in-hospital mortality. Adverse outcome was defined as m RS score at discharge ≥ 2 or in-hospital death. The length of hospitalization was also recorded.RESULTS: T2 DM was present in 32.2% of the study population. Patients with T2 DM had a larger waist circumference, higher serum triglyceride and glucose levels and lower serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels as well as higher prevalence of hypertension, coronary heart disease and congestive heart failure than patients without T2 DM. On the other hand, diabetic patients had lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and reported smaller consumption of alcohol than non-diabetic patients. At admission, the NIHSS score did not differ between patients with and without T2DM(8.7 ± 8.8 and 8.6 ± 9.2, respectively; P = NS). At discharge, the m RS score also did not differ between the two groups(2.7 ± 2.1 and 2.7 ± 2.2 in patients with and without T2 DM, respectively; P = NS). Rates of adverse outcome were also similar in patients with and without T2DM(62.3% and 58.5%, respectively; P = NS). However, when we adjusted for the differences between patients with T2 DM and those without T2 DM in cardiovascular risk factors, T2 DM was independently associated with adverse outcome [relative risk(RR) = 2.39; 95%CI: 1.21-4.72, P = 0.012]. Inhospital mortality rates did not differ between patients with T2 DM and those without T2DM(9.0% and 9.8%, respectively; P = NS). In multivariate analysis adjusting for the difference in cardiovascular risk factors between the two groups, T2 DM was again not associated with in-hospital death. CONCLUSION: T2 DM does not appear to affect ischemic stroke severity but is independently associated with a worse functional outcome at discharge. | Konstantinos Tziomalos Marianna Spanou Stella D Bouziana Maria Papadopoulou Vasilios Giampatzis Stavroula Kostaki Vasiliki Dourliou Maria Tsopozidi Christos Savopoulos Apostolos I Hatzitolios | 2014 | World Journal of Diabetes2014，5，6： | 15 |
| 2 | Circulating lymphangiogenic growth factors in gastrointestinal solid tumors, could they be of any clinical significance?显示文摘Metastasis is the principal cause of cancer mortality, with the lymphatic system being the first route of tumor dissemination. The glycoproteins VEGF-C and VEGF-D are members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family, whose role has been recently recognized as lymphatic system regulators during embryogenesis and in pathological processes such as inflammation, lymphatic system disorders and malignant tumor metastasis. They are ligands for the VEGFR-3 receptor on the membrane of the lymphatic endothelial cell, resulting in dilatation of existing lymphatic vessels as well as in vegetation of new ones (lymphangiogenesis). Their determination is feasible in the circulating blood by immunoabsorption and in the tissue specimen by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Experimental and clinicopathological studies have linked the VEGF-C, VEGF-D/VEGFR3 axis to lymphatic spread as well as to the clinical outcome in several human solid tumors. The majority of these data are derived from surgical specimens and malignant cell series, rendering their clinical application questionable, due to subjectivity factors and post-treatment quantification. In an effort to overcome these drawbacks, an alternative method of immunodetection of the circulating levels of these molecules has been used in studies on gastric, esophageal and colorectal cancer. Their results denotethat quantification of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in blood samples could serve as lymph node metastasis predictive biomarkers and contribute to preoperative staging of gastrointestinal malignancies. | Theodore D Tsirlis George Papastratis Kyriaki Masselou Christos Tsigris Antonis Papachristodoulou Alkiviadis Kostakis Nikolaos I Nikiteas | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，17： | 12 |
| 3 | Effect of bombesin and neurotensin on gut barrier function in partially hepatectomized rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of regulatory peptides bombesin (BBS) and neurotensin (NT) on intestinal barrier function in partially hepatectomized rats.METHODS: Ninety male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: Ⅰ (n = 10): controls, Ⅱ (n =20): sham operated, Ⅲ (n = 20): partial hepatectomy 70% (PHx), Ⅳ (n = 20): PHx+BBS (30 μg/kg/d), Ⅴ (n= 20): PHx+NT (300 μg/kg/d). Groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ were treated for 8 days before PHx and 48 h post surgery.At the end of the experiment, on day 10, intestinal barrier function was assessed by measuring endotoxin concentrations in portal and aortic blood. Tissue sections of the terminal ileum were examined histologically and villus density, mucosal thickness, mitotic activity and apoptosis in crypts were assessed. In addition, ileal mucosa was analyzed for DNA and protein content and microbiological analysis was performed in cecal contents.To estimate intestinal oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation was determined on tissue homogenates from terminal ileum.RESULTS: BBS or NT administration significantly reduced portal and systemic endotoxemia observed 48 h after partial hepatectomy. In hepatectomized rats (group Ⅲ), a trend towards induction of mucosal atrophy was observed, demonstrated by the reduction of villus density, mucosal thickness, protein content and significant reduction of DNA, while these alterations were reversed by regulatory peptides administration.This trophic effect of BBS and NT was accompanied by induction of mitoses above control levels and a significant reduction of apoptosis in intestinal crypts.Intestinal lipid peroxidation was found significantly lower in PHx group and regulatory peptides exerted an antioxidant action, further decreasing this parameter of oxidative stress. The bacterial population of E. coli and aerobic Gram (+) cocci was increased in cecal content of hepatectomized rats, while this parameter was not affected by the administration of BBS or NT.CONCLUSION: Gut regulatory peptides BBS and NT improve intestinal barrier function and reduce endotoxemia in experimental partial hepatectomy. This effect is, at least in part, mediated by their trophic,antiapoptotic, mitogenic, and antioxidant effect on the intestinal epithelium. This observation might be of potential value in patients undergoing liver resection. | Stelios F Assimakopoulos Ilias H Alexandris Chrisoula D Scopa Panagiotis G Mylonas Konstantinos C Thomopoulos Christos D Georgiou Vassiliki N Nikolopoulou Constantine E Vagianos | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，43： | 8 |
| 4 | Steatosis and steatohepatitis in postmortem material from Northwestern Greece显示文摘AIM: To determine the prevalence of steatosis and steatohepatitis in a series of autopsies in Northwestern Greece. METHODS: Liver biopsy material from a total of 600 autopsies performed over a period of 2 years (2006-2008) to def ine the cause of death was subjected to histological examination. Patient demographic data were also collected. Tissue sections were stained with different dyes for the evaluation of liver architecture, degree of fibrosis and other pathological conditions when necessary. RESULTS: Satisfactory tissue samples for histological evaluation were available in 498 cases (341 male, 157 female) with a mean age of 64.51 ± 17.78 years. In total, 144 (28.9%) had normal liver histology, 156 (31.3%) had evidence of steatosis, and 198 (39.8%) had typical histological findings of steatohepatitis. The most common causes of death were ischemic heart disease with or without myocardial infarction (43.4%), and traffic accidents (13.4%). CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of steatosis and steatohepatitis was detected in postmortem biopsies from Northwestern Greece. Since both diseases can have serious clinical consequences, they should be considered as an important threat to the health of the general population in Greece. | Christos D Zois Gerasimos H Baltayiannis Anna Bekiari Anna Goussia Peter Karayiannis Michalis Doukas Demetrios Demopoulos Antigoni Mitsellou Theodoros Vougiouklakis Vasiliki Mitsi Epameinondas V Tsianos | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，31： | 4 |
| 5 | Continuous internal counterpulsation as a bridge to recovery in acute and chronic heart failure显示文摘Cardiac recovery from cardiogenic shock(CS) and end-stage chronic heart failure(HF) remains anoften insurmountable therapeutic challenge. The counterpulsation technique exerts numerous beneficial effects on systemic hemodynamics and left ventricular mechanoenergetics, rendering it attractive for promoting myocardial recovery in both acute and chronic HF. Although a recent clinical trial has questioned the clinical effectiveness of short-term hemodynamic support with intra-aortic balloon pump(IABP, the main representative of the counterpulsation technique) in CS complicating myocardial infarction, the issue remains open to further investigation. Moreover, preliminary data suggest that long-term IABP support in patients with end-stage HF is safe and may mediate recovery of left- or/and right-sided cardiac function, facilitating long-term weaning from mechanical support or enabling the application of other permanent, life-saving solutions. The potential of long-term counterpulsation could possibly be enhanced by implementation of novel, fully implantable counterpulsation devices. | Christos D Kontogiannis Konstantinos Malliaras Chris J Kapelios Jay W Mason John N Nanas | 2016 | World Journal of Transplantation2016，6，1： | 4 |

| 7 | Heparin resistance in severe thermal injury:a prospective cohort study显示文摘Background:Low molecular-weight heparin(LMWH)is routinely administered to burn patients for thromboprophylaxis.Some studies have reported heparin resistance,yet the mechanism(s)and prevalence have not been systematically studied.We hypothesized that nucleosomes,composed of histone structures with associated DNA released from injured tissue and activated immune cells in the form of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs or NETosis),neutralize LMWH resulting in suboptimal anticoagulation,assessed by reduction in anti-factor Xa activity.Methods:Blood was sampled from>15%total body surface area(TBSA)burn patients receiving LMWH on days 5,10 and 14.Peak anti-factor Xa(AFXa)activity,anti-thrombin(ATIII)activity,cellfree DNA(cfDNA)levels and nucleosome levels were measured.Mixed effects regression was adjusted for multiple confounders,including injury severity and ATIII activity,and was used to test the association between nucleosomes and AFXa.Results:A total of 30 patients with severe burns were included.Mean TBSA 43%(SD 17).Twentythree(77%)patients were affected by heparin resistance(defined by AFXa activity<0.2 IU/mL).Mean peak AFXa activity across samples was 0.18 IU/mL(SD 0.11).Mean ATIII was 81.9%activity(SD 20.4).Samples taken at higher LWMH doses were found to have significantly increased AFXa activity,though the effect was not observed at all doses,at 8000 IU no samples were heparin resistant.Nucleosome levels were negatively correlated with AFXa(r=−0.29,p=0.050)consistent with the hypothesis.The final model,with peak AFXa as the response variable,was adjusted for nucleosome levels(p=0.0453),ATIII activity(p=0.0053),LMWH dose pre-sample(p=0.0049),drug given(enoxaparin or tinzaparin)(p=0.03),and other confounders including severity of injury,age,gender,time point of sample.Conclusions:Heparin resistance is a prevalent issue in severe burns.Nucleosome levels were increased post-burn,and showed an inverse association with AFXa consistent with the hypothesis that they may interfere with the anticoagulant effect of heparin in vivo and contribute to heparin resistance.Accurate monitoring of AFXa activity with appropriate therapy escalation plans are recommended with dose adjustment following severe burn injury. | Liam D Cato Benjamin Bailiff Joshua Price Christos Ermogeneous Jon Hazeldine William Lester Gillian Lowe Christopher Wearn Jonathan RB Bishop Janet M Lord Naiem Moiemen Paul Harrison | 2021 | Burns & Trauma2021，9，1： | 3 |
| 8 | 22-gauge core vs 22-gauge aspiration needle for endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling of abdominal masses显示文摘AIM To compare the aspiration needle(AN) and core biopsy needle(PC) in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA) of abdominal masses.METHODS Consecutive patients referred for EUS-FNA were included in this prospective single-center trial. Each patient underwent a puncture of the lesion with both standard 22-gauge(G) AN(Echo Tip Ultra; Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana, United States) and the novel 22 G PC(Echo Tip Pro Core; Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana, United States) in a randomized fashion; histology was attempted in the PC group only. The main study endpoint was the overall diagnostic accuracy, including the contribution of histology to the final diagnosis. Secondary outcome measures included material adequacy, number of needle passes, and complications.RESULTS Fifty six consecutive patients(29 men; mean age 68 years) with pancreatic lesions(n = 38), lymphadenopathy(n = 13), submucosal tumors(n = 4), or others lesions(n = 1) underwent EUS-FNA using both of the needles in a randomized order. AN and PC reached similar overall results for diagnostic accuracy(AN: 88.9 vs PC: 96.1, P = 0.25), specimen adequacy(AN: 96.4% vs PC: 91.1%, P = 0.38), mean number of passes(AN: 1.5 vs PC: 1.7, P = 0.14), mean cellularity score(AN: 1.7 vs PC: 1.1, P = 0.058), and complications(none). A diagnosis on the basis of histology was achieved in the PC group in 36(64.3%) patients, and in 2 of those as the sole modality. In patients with available histology the mean cellularity score was higher for AN(AN: 1.7 vs PC: 1.0, P = 0.034); no other differences were of statistical significance.CONCLUSION Both needles achieved high overall diagnostic yields and similar performance characteristics for cytological diagnosis; histological analysis was only possible in 2/3 of cases with the new needle. | William Sterlacci Athanasios D Sioulas Lothar Veits Pervin G?nüllü Guido Schachschal Stefan Groth Mario Anders Christos K Kontos Theodoros Topalidis Andrea Hinsch Michael Vieth Thomas R?sch Ulrike W Denzer | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，39： | 2 |
| 9 | Stimulation of oval cell and hepatocyte proliferation by exogenous bombesin and neurotensin in partially hepatectomized rats显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of the neuropeptides bombesin(BBS)and neurotensin(NT)on oval cell proliferation in partially hepatectomized rats not pretreated with a known hepatocyte inhibitor.METHODS:Seventy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups:Ⅰ=controls,Ⅱ=sham operated,Ⅲ=partial hepatectomy 70%(PHx),Ⅳ=PHx+ BBS(30μg/kg per day),Ⅴ=PHx+NT(300μg/kg per day).Forty eight hours after liver resection,portal en-dotoxin levels and hepatic glutathione redox state were determined.α-fetoprotein(AFP)mRNA(in situ hybridisation),cytokeratin-19 and Ki67 antigen expression (immunohistochemistry)and apoptosis(TUNEL)were evaluated on liver tissue samples.Cells with morphological features of oval cells that were cytokeratin-19 (+)and AFP mRNA(+)were scored in morphometric analysis and their proliferation was recorded.In addition,the proliferation and apoptotic rates of hepatocytes were determined.RESULTS:In the control and sham operated groups,oval cells were significantly less compared to groups Ⅲ,ⅣandⅤ(P<0.001).The neuropeptides BBS and NT significantly increased the proliferation of oval cells compared to groupⅢ(P<0.001).In addition,BBS and NT induced a significant increase of hepatocyte proliferation(P<0.001),whereas it decreased their apoptotic activity(P<0.001)compared to groupⅢ.BBS and NT significantly decreased portal endotoxemia (P<0.001)and increased the hepatic GSH:GSSG ratio (P<0.05 and P<0.001,respectively)compared to groupⅢ.CONCLUSION:BBS and NT stimulated oval cell proliferation in a model of liver regeneration,without use of concomitant suppression of hepatocyte proliferation as oval cell activation stimuli,and improved the hepatocyte regenerative response.This peptides-induced combined stimulation of oval cell and hepatocyte proliferation might serve as a possible treatment modality for several liver diseases. | Stelios F Assimakopoulos Athanassios C Tsamandas Ilias H Alexandris Christos Georgiou Constantine E Vagianos Chrisoula D Scopa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2011，2，6： | 2 |
| 10 | Bacterial translocation in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery and its role in postoperative sepsis显示文摘Bacteria of the human intestinal microflora have a dual role.They promote digestion and are part of a defense mechanism against pathogens.These bacteria could become potential pathogens under certain circumstances.The term“bacterial translocation”describes the passage of bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract through the intestinal mucosa barrier to mesenteric lymph nodes and other organs.In some cases,the passage of bacteria and endotoxins could result in blood stream infections and in multiple organ failure.Open elective abdominal surgery more frequently results in malfunction of the intestinal barrier and subsequent bacterial translocation and blood stream infections than laparoscopic surgery.Postoperative sepsis is a common finding in patients who have undergone non-elective abdominal surgeries,including trauma patients treated with laparotomy.Postoperative sepsis is an emerging issue,as it changes the treatment plan in surgical patients and prolongs hospital stay.The association between bacterial translocation and postoperative sepsis could provide novel treatment options. | Christos Doudakmanis Konstantinos Bouliaris Christina Kolla Matthaios Efthimiou Georgios D Koukoulis | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2021，12，6： | 2 |
| 11 | 在不含酒精的脂肪肝疾病和尖锐 ischemic 击严厉和结果之间的协会显示文摘 AIM:To evaluate the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)with acute ischemic stroke severity and in-hospital outcome.METHODS:We prospectively studied all patients who were admitted in our Department with acute ischemic stroke between September 2010 and August 2012(n=415;39.5%males,mean age 78.8±6.6 years).The severity of stroke was assessed with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at admission.NALFD was defined as serum alanine aminotransferase and/or aspartate aminotransferase levels above the upper limit of normal in the absence of other causes of elevated aminotransferases levels[chronic hepatitis B or C,drug toxicity,increased alcohol consumption(>21 and>14 drinks per week in men and women,respectively),cholestatic diseases or rhabdomyolysis].The outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at discharge and in-hospital mortality.Adverse outcome was defined as mRS score at discharge≥2.Dependency at discharge was defined as mRS score between 2 to 5.RESULTS:NAFLD was present in 7.7%of the study population.Patients with NAFLD had lower serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and higher triglyceride levels than patients without NAFLD(P<0.05 for both comparisons).Demographic data,the prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors and the prevalence of established CVD did not differ between the two groups.At admission,the NIHSS score did not differ between patients with and without NAFLD(6.3±6.4and 8.8±9.6,respectively;P=NS).At discharge,the mRS score did not differ between the two groups(1.9±2.2 and 2.6±2.2 in patients with and without NAFLD,respectively;P=NS).Rates of dependency at discharge were also similar in patients with and without NAFLD(36.8%and 55.0%,respectively;P=NS)as were the rates of adverse outcome(42.9%and58.6%,respectively;P=NS).In-hospital mortality rates also did not differ between the 2 groups(8.0%and 7.0%in patients with and without NAFLD,respectively;P=NS).CONCLUSION:The presence of NAFLD in patients admitted for acute ischemic stroke does not appear to be associated with more severe stroke or with worse in-hospital outcome. | Konstantinos Tziomalos Vasilios Giampatzis Stella D Bouziana Marianna Spanou Maria Papadopoulou Athinodoros Pavlidis Stavroula Kostaki Andreas Bozikas Christos Savopoulos Apostolos I Hatzitolios | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013，5，11： | 2 |
