| 1 | Chronic HCV infection and inflammation:Clinical impact on hepatic and extra-hepatic manifestations显示文摘The liver has a central role in regulating inflammation by its capacity to secrete a number of proteins that control both local and systemic inflammatory responses. Chronic inflammation or an exaggerated inflammatory response can produce detrimental effects on target organs. Chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection causes liver inflammation by complex and not yet well-understood molecular pathways, including direct viral effects and indirect mechanisms involving cytokine pathways,oxidative stress and steatosis induction. An increasing body of evidence recognizes the inflammatory response in chronic hepatitis C as pathogenically linked to the development of both liver-limited injury(fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma) and extrahepatic HCV-related diseases(lymphoproliferative disease,atherosclerosis, cardiovascular and brain disease). Defining the complex mechanisms of HCV-induced inflammation could be crucial to determine the global impact of infection, to estimate progression of the disease, and to explore novel therapeutic approaches to avert HCVrelated diseases. This review focuses on HCV-related clinical conditions as a result of chronic liver and systemic inflammatory states. | Rosa Zampino Aldo Marrone Luciano Restivo Barbara Guerrera Ausilia Sellitto Luca Rinaldi Ciro Romano Luigi E Adinolfi | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,10: | 13 |
| 2 | Biliary complications after liver transplantation:current perspectives and future strategies显示文摘Importance:Liver transplantation(LT)is a life-saving therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease and with acute liver failure,and it is associated with excellent outcomes and survival rates at 1 and 5 years.The incidence of biliary complications(BCs)after LT is reported to range from 5%to 20%,most of them occurring in the first three months,although they can occur also several years after transplantation.Objective:The aim of this review is to summarize the available evidences on pathophysiology,risk factors,diagnosis and therapeutic management of BCs after LT.Evidence Review:a literature review was performed of papers on this topic focusing on risk factors,classifications,diagnosis and treatment Findings:Principal risk factors include surgical techniques and donor’s characteristics for biliary leakage and anastomotic biliary strictures and vascular alterations for non-anastomotic biliary strictures.MRCP is the gold standard both for intra-and extrahepatic BCs,while invasive cholangiography should be restricted for therapeutic uses or when MRCP is equivocal.About treatment,endoscopic techniques are the first line of treatment with success rates of 70-100%.The combined success rate of ERCP and PTBD overcome 90%of cases.Biliary leaks often resolve spontaneously,or with the positioning of a stent in ERCP for major bile leaks Conclusions and Relevance:BCs influence morbidity and mortality after LT,therefore further evidences are needed to identify novel possible risk factors,to understand if an immunological status that could lead to their development exists and to compare the effectiveness of innovative surgical and machine perfusion techniques. | Bianca Magro Matteo Tacelli Alessandra Mazzola Filomena Conti Ciro Celsa | 2021 | Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2021,10,1: | 12 |
| 3 | Cervical cancer screening:A never-ending developing program显示文摘With the term 'oncological screening', we define the overall performances made to detect early onset of tumors. These tests are conducted on a population that does not have any signs or symptoms related to a neoplasm. The whole population above a certain age, only one sex, only subjects with a high risk of developing cancer due to genetic, professional, discretionary reasons may be involved. Screening campaigns should be associated, when risk factors that can be avoided are known, with campaigns for the prevention of cancer by means of suitable behavior. The goal of cancer screening cannot however be limited to the diagnosis of a greater number of neoplasms. Screening will be useful only if it leads to a reduction in overall mortality or at least in mortality related to the tumor. Screening should then allow the diagnosis of the disease at a stage when there is a possibility of healing, possibility that is instead difficult when the disease is diagnosed at the appearance of signs or symptoms. This is the reason why not all campaigns of cancer screening have the same effectiveness. In Italy, every year there are about 150000 deaths due to cancer. Some of these tumors can be cured with a very high percentage of success if diagnosed in time. Cervical cancer can be diagnosed with non-invasive tests. The screening test used all over the world is Papanicolaou(Pap) test. This test may be carried out over the entire healthy population potentially exposed to the risk of contracting cancer. Public health has begun the screening campaigns in the hope of saving many of the approximately 270000 new cases of cancer reported each year. Screening is done following protocols that guarantee quality at the national level: these protocols are subject to change over time to reflect new realities or to correct any errors in the system. A simplified sketch of a possible route of cancer screening is as follows:(1) after selecting the target population, for example all women between 25 and 64 years(in the case of monitoring of cervical cancer), an invitation letter with the date and time of the appointment, planned according to the acceptance capacity of the hospital, is sent to all individuals;(2) an examination, which depending on the individual and the type of cancer to be monitored, for example, canbe a Pap smear, is performed and the patient can go home;(3) once available the results of examinations, if negative, they shall be communicated to the person concerned that will be notified by mail and will be recalled for a second test at a few years of distance, in the case of non-negativity, instead, the patient is contacted by telephone and informed of the need to carry out further examinations: it is said that the patient is in the 'phase two' of the screening pathway;(4) in phase two, reached by only a small portion of the interested parties(usually less than 3%-5%), more indepth tests are carried out, which, depending on the individual and the type of cancer, can be: cytological and colposcopic examinations, the removal of a fragment of tissue(biopsy) and subsequent histological examination, additional tests such as ultrasound, radiography, or others such as computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, etc., in case of negativity, the concerned person will be called for new control tests at a a few years of distance, in case of non-negativity, it will be proposed instead an oncologic therapeutic plan and/or surgery to treat the diagnosed tumor; and(5) once the treatment plan is completed, the individual enters the follow-up protocol, which is monitored over time to see if the tumor has been completely removed or if instead it is still developing. Cervical cancer is undoubtedly the most successful example of a cancer screening campaign. Paradoxically, its effectiveness is one of the strongest reasons to criticize the usefulness of vaccination against human papillomavirus(HPV) in countries where the screening service with Pap test is organized in an efficient manner. Cervical cancer screening protocols are directed to sexually active women aged 25-64 years: they provide the Pap test performed by examining under a microscope or by staining with a specific 'thin prep' the material taken from the cervix with a small spatula and a brush. It is recommended to repeat the test every two or three years. It is important to emphasize that women vaccinated against HPV MUST continue the screening with Pap test. Although some screening programs(e.g., Pap smears) have had remarkable success in reducing mortality from a specific cancer, any kind of screening is free from inherent limitations. The screening methods are in fact applied to large parts of the apparently healthy population. In particular, the limits for certain cancers may be as obvious as to prohibit the introduction of an organized screening program. Potential limitations of organized screenings are basically of two types: organizational and medical. The limits of organizational type relate to the ability of a program to recruit the whole target population. Although well organized, a screening program will hardly be able to exceed a coverage of 70%-80% of the target population, and in fact the results of the current programs are often much smaller. The limits of medical type are represented by the possibility of reducing the overall mortality, or specific mortality, using a specific screening campaign. | Ciro Comparetto Franco Borruto | 2015 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,7: | 10 |
| 4 | Chronic hepatitis C virus infection and neurological and psychiatric disorders:An overview显示文摘Hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection is considered a systemic disease because of involvement of other organs and tissues concomitantly with liver disease.Among the extrahepatic manifestations,neuropsychiatric disorders have been reported in up to 50%of chronic HCV infected patients.Both the central and peripheral nervous system may be involved with a wide variety of clinical manifestations.Main HCV-associated neurological conditions include cerebrovascular events,encephalopathy,myelitis,encephalomyelitis,and cognitive impairment,whereas'brain fog',depression,anxiety,and fatigue are at the top of the list of psychiatric disorders.Moreover,HCV infection is known to cause both motor and sensory peripheral neuropathy in the context of mixed cryoglobulinemia,and has also been recently recognized as an independent risk factor for stroke.These extrahepatic manifestations are independent of severity of the underlying chronic liver disease and hepatic encephalopathy.The brain is a suitable site for HCV replication,where the virus may directly exert neurotoxicity;other mechanisms proposed to explain the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders in chronic HCV infection include derangement of metabolic pathways of infected cells,alterations in neurotransmitter circuits,autoimmune disorders,and cerebral or systemic inflammation.A pathogenic role for HCV is also suggested by improvement of neurological and psychiatric symptoms in patients achieving a sustained virologic response following interferon treatment;however,further ad hoc trials are needed to fully assess the impact of HCV infection and specific antiviral treatments on associated neuropsychiatric disorders. | Luigi Elio Adinolfi Riccardo Nevola Giacomo Lus Luciano Restivo Barbara Guerrera Ciro Romano Rosa Zampino Luca Rinaldi Ausilia Sellitto Mauro Giordano Aldo Marrone | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 6 |
| 5 | Ultrashort Bessel beam photoinscription of Bragg grating waveguides and their application as temperature sensors显示文摘Ultrashort pulsed Bessel beams with intrinsic nondiffractive character and potential strong excitation confinement down to 100nm can show a series of advantages over Gaussian beams in fabricating efficient Bragg grating waveguides(BGWs).In this work, we focus on parameter management for the inscription of efficient BGWs using the point-by-point method employing Bessel beams.Due to their high aspect ratio, the resulting one-dimensional void-like structures can section the waveguides and interact efficiently with the optical modes. Effective first-order BGWs with low birefringence can then be fabricated in bulk fused silica. By controlling the size and the relative location of grating voids via the Bessel pulse energy and scan velocities, the resonant behaviors of BGWs can be well regulated.A high value of 34 dB for 8 mm length is achieved.A simple predictive model for BGWs is proposed for analyzing the influences of processing parameters on the performance of BGWs. The technique permits multiplexing several gratings in the same waveguide.Up to eight grating traces were straightforwarcliy inscribed into the waveguide in a parallel-serial combined mode, forming the multiplex BGWs.As an application, the multiplex BGW sensor with two resonant peaks is proposed and fabricated for improving the reliability of temperature detection. | Guodong Zhang Guanghua Cheng Manoj K.Bhuyan Ciro D'Amico Yishan Wang Razvan Stoian | 2019 | Photonics Research2019,7,7: | 6 |
| 6 | Peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin显示文摘Peritoneal carcinomatosis is,after liver metastases,the second most frequent cause of death in colorectal cancer patients and at the present time,is commonly inserted and treated as a stage Ⅳ tumour.Because there is no published data that outlines the impact of new therapeutic regimens on survival of patients with peritoneal surface diffusion,the story of carcinomatosis can be rewritten in light of a new aggressive approach based on the combination of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.Also if these treatment perhaps allow to obtain better results than standard therapies,we suggest,that a large prospective randomised control trial is needed to compare long-term and progression-free survival under the best available systemic therapy with or without cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. | Antonio Macrì Edoardo Saladino Vincenzo Bartolo Vincenzo Adamo Giuseppe Altavilla Epifanio Mondello Giovanni Condemi Angelo Sinardi Ciro Famulari | 2010 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2010,2,2: | 3 |
| 7 | Dissecting Maize Productivity:Ideotypes Associated with Grain Yield under Drought Stress and Well-watered Conditions显示文摘To increase maize (Zea mays L.) yields in drought-prone environments and offset predicted maize yield losses under future climates,the development of improved breeding pipelines using a multi-disciplinary approach is essential.Elucidating key growth processes will provide opportunities to improve drought breeding progress through the identification of key phenotypic traits,ideotypes,and donors.In this study,we tested a large set of tropical and subtropical maize inbreds and single cross hybrids under reproductive stage drought stress and well-watered conditions.Patterns of biomass production,senescence,and plant water status were measured throughout the crop cycle.Under drought stress,early biomass production prior to anthesis was important for inbred yield,while delayed senescence was important for hybrid yield.Under well-watered conditions,the ability to maintain a high biomass throughout the growing cycle was crucial for inbred yield,while a stay-green pattern was important for hybrid yield.While new quantitative phenotyping tools such as spectral reflectance (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index,NDVI) allowed for the characterization of growth and senescence patterns as well as yield,qualitative measurements of canopy senescence were also found to be associated with grain yield. | Jill E.Cairns Ciro Sanchez Mateo Vargas Raziel Ordoez Jose Luis Araus | 2012 | Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2012,54,12: | 3 |
| 8 | Therapeutic resistance in cancer: microRNA regulation of EGFR signaling networks显示文摘Receptor tyrosine kinases(RTKs)such as the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)regulate cellular homeostatic processes.EGFR activates downstream signaling cascades that promote tumor cell survival,proliferation and migration.Dysregulation of EGFR signaling as a consequence of overexpression,amplification and mutation of the EGFR gene occurs frequently in several types of cancers and many become dependent on EGFR signaling to maintain their malignant phenotypes.Consequently,concerted efforts have been mounted to develop therapeutic agents and strategies to effectively inhibit EGFR.However,limited therapeutic benefits to cancer patients have been derived from EGFR-targeted therapies.A well-documented obstacle to improved patient survival is the presence of EGFR-inhibitor resistant tumor cell variants within heterogeneous tumor cell masses.Here,we summarize the mechanisms by which tumors resist EGFR-targeted therapies and highlight the emerging role of microRNAs(miRs)as downstream effector molecules utilized by EGFR to promote tumor initiation,progression and that play a role in resistance to EGFR inhibitors.We also examine evidence supporting the utility of miRs as predictors of response to targeted therapies and novel therapeutic agents to circumvent EGFR-inhibitor resistance mechanisms. | German G.Gomez Jill Wykosky Ciro Zanca Frank B.Furnari Webster K.Cavenee | 2013 | Cancer Biology & Medicine2013,10,4: | 3 |

| 10 | Functional conservation of the grapevine candidate gene INNER NO OUTER for ovule development and seed formation显示文摘Seedlessness represents a highly appreciated trait in table grapes.Based on an interesting case of seedless fruit production described in the crop species Annona squamosa,we focused on the Vitis vinifera INNER NO OUTER(INO)gene as a candidate.This gene encodes a transcription factor belonging to the YABBY family involved in the determination of abaxial identity in several organs.In Arabidopsis thaliana,this gene was shown to be essential for the formation and asymmetric growth of the ovule outer integument and its mutation leads to a phenotypic defect of ovules and failure in seed formation.In this study,we identified in silico the V.vinifera orthologue and investigated its phylogenetic relationship to INO genes from other species and its expression in different organs in seeded and seedless varieties.Applying cross-species complementation,we have tested its functionality in the Arabidopsis ino-1 mutant.We show that the V.vinifera INO successfully rescues the ovule outer integument growth and seeds set and also partially complements the outer integument asymmetric growth in the Arabidopsis mutant,differently from orthologues from other species.These data demonstrate that VviINO retains similar activity and protein targets in grapevine as in Arabidopsis.Potential implications for grapevine breeding are discussed. | Valentina di Rienzo Zahra Imanifard Isabella Mascio Charles SGasser Debra JSkinner Ciro Leonardo Pierri Martina Marini Valentina Fanelli Wilma Sabetta Cinzia Montemurro Diana Bellin | 2021 | Horticulture Research2021,8,1: | 2 |
| 11 | 意大利临床实践中的PDE5抑制剂治疗模式:“勃起功能障碍观测研究”的纵向数据显示文摘“勃起功能障碍观测研究”(Erectile Dysfunction Observational Study,EDOS)是一项为期6个月的多中心前瞻性研究,研究对象包括被要求开始接受治疗或改变治疗方式的ED病人。本研究旨在分析ED的治疗模式,并比较不同治疗模式的疗效。研究对象为到医院看病并诊断需要进行ED治疗的患者。他们接受ED治疗,并在治疗开始时、治疗3个月、6个月时回答来自IIEF(International Index of Erectile Function),EDITS(Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction),SF-PAIRS(Short Form of the Psychological and Interpersonal Relationship Scale)/nq卷的问题。医生可以给病人开出市场上现有的任何疗法,并可以在治疗过程中任何时间改变疗法。在完成为期6个月的分析的1338名病人中,有624人(47%)改变了疗法,714人(53%)一直接受最初诊断的疗法,其中接受治疗的病人持续接受一种疗法的比率显著高于接受西地那非或伐地那非治疗的病人。其它影响这一比率的变量包括性欲低下和ED。各种PDE-5抑制剂在效力、病人满意度、自信心、自发性等方面无显著差异。接受他达拉非治疗的病人的SF—PAIRS“时间相关”项的分数显著优于接受其它治疗的病人。结果显示现有的三种PDE-5抑制剂的临床实践和临床实验结果相似,但病人如果要终止或改变用药,他达拉非的风险较低。 | Ferdinando Fusco Riccardo Sicuteri Andrea Rossi Stathis Kontodimas Jose Maria Haro Ciro Imbimbo 无 | 2009 | Asian Journal of Andrology2009,11,5: | 2 |

| 13 | Is human hepatocellular carcinoma a hormone-responsive tumor?显示文摘Before the positive results recently obtained with multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib,there was no standard systemic treatment for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Sex hormones receptors are expressed in a significant proportion of HCC samples.Following preclinical and epidemiological studies supporting a relationship between sex hormones and HCC tumorigenesis,several randomized controlled trials (RCTs)tested the efficacy of the anti-estrogen tamoxifen as systemic treatment.Largest among these trials showed no survival advantage from the administration of tamoxifen,and the recent Cochrane systematic review produced a completely negative result.This questions the relevance of estrogen receptor-mediated pathways in HCC.However,a possible explanation for these disappointing results is the lack of proper patients selection according to sex hormones receptors expression,but unfortunately the interaction between this expression and efficacy of tamoxifen has not been studied adequately.It has been also proposed that negative results might be explained if tamoxifen acts in HCC via an estrogen receptor-independent pathway,that requires higher doses than those usually administered, but an Asian RCT conducted to assess dose-response effect was completely negative.Interesting,preliminaryresults have been obtained when hormonal treatment (tamoxifen or megestrol)has been selected according to the presence of wild-type or variant estrogen receptors respectively,but no large RCTs are available to support this strategy.Negative results have been obtained also with anti-androgen therapy.In conclusion,there is no robust evidence to consider HCC a hormone-responsive tumor.Hormonal treatments should not be part of the current management of HCC. | Massimo Di Maio Bruno Daniele Sandro Pignata Ciro Gallo Ermelinda De Maio Alessandro Morabito Maria Carmela Piccirillo Francesco Perrone | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,11: | 2 |

| 17 | One-week dual therapy with ranitidine bismuth citrate and clarithromycin for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in Brazilian patients with peptic ulcer显示文摘AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of ranitidine bismuth citrate plus clarithromycin given for 1 wk in Brazilian patients with peptic ulcer.METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with peptic ulcer were randomized in two treatment groups: (1) 1-wk regimen consisting of ranitidine bismuth citrate 400 mg b.i.d. with clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. or (2) 2-wk regimen of the same treatment. Eradication of the infection was considered when both the histologic examination and the urease test were negative for the infection 3 mo after treatment.RESULTS: By intention to treat analysis, Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) was eradicated in 73% and 76% of patients, respectively treated for 1 or 2 wk (P>0.05). By per protocol analysis, the eradication rates were 80% and 83%,respectively, in patients treated for 1 or 2 wk (P>0.05). Nine patients (8.2%) reported minor side effects. CONCLUSION: One-week therapy with ranitidine bismuth citrate and clarithromycin is safe, well tolerated and effective for treatment of H pylori infection, andappears to be comparable to the 2-wk regimen in terms of efficacy. | Maria Aparecida Mesquita S(o|^)nia Letícia Silva Lorena Jazon Romilson Souza Almeida Ciro Garcia Montes Fábio Guerrazzi Luciana T Campos José Murilo Rubiota Zeitune | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,23: | 1 |
