| 1 | Surgical techniques and postoperative management to prevent postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreatic surgery显示文摘Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most severe complications after pancreatic surgeries. POPF develops as a consequence of pancreatic juice leakage from a surgically exfoliated surface and/or anastomotic stump, which sometimes cause intraperitoneal abscesses and subsequent lethal hemorrhage. In recent years, various surgical and perioperative attempts have been examined to reduce the incidence of POPF. We reviewed several well-designed studies addressing POPF-related factors, such as reconstruction methods, anastomotic techniques, stent usage, prophylactic intra-abdominal drainage, and somatostatin analogs, after pancreaticoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy, and we assessed the current status of POPF. In addition, we also discussed the current status of POPF in minimally invasive surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, and robotic surgeries. | Hiromichi Kawaida Hiroshi Kono Naohiro Hosomura Hidetake Amemiya Jun Itakura Hideki Fujii Daisuke Ichikawa | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,28: | 43 |
| 2 | Interventional treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The Barcelona clinic liver cancer classification is the current standard classification system for the clinical management of patients with HCC and suggests that patients with intermediate-stage HCC benefit from transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE). Interventional treatments such as TACE, balloon-occluded TACE, drug-eluting bead embolization, radioembolization, and combined therapies including TACE and radiofrequency ablation, continue to evolve, resulting in improved patient prognosis. However, patients with advanced-stage HCC typically receive only chemotherapy with sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor, or palliative and conservative therapy. Most patients receive palliative or conservative therapy only, and approximately 50% of patients with HCC are candidatesfor systemic therapy. However, these patients require therapy that is more effective than sorafenib or conservative treatment. Several researchers try to perform more effective therapies, such as combined therapies(TACE with radiotherapy and sorafenib with TACE), modified TACE for HCC with arterioportal or arteriohepatic vein shunts, TACE based on hepatic hemodynamics, and isolated hepatic perfusion. This review summarizes the published data and data on important ongoing studies concerning interventional treatments for unresectable HCC and discusses the technical improvements in these interventions, particularly for advanced-stage HCC. | Satoru Murata Takahiko Mine Fumie Sugihara Daisuke Yasui Hidenori Yamaguchi Tatsuo Ueda Shiro Onozawa Shin-ichiro Kumita | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,37: | 38 |
| 3 | Liver metastasis is the only independent prognostic factor in AFP-producing gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate differences between common gastric cancer andα-fetoprotein(AFP)-producing gastric cancer according to the presence or absence of liver metastasis.METHODS:Between 1997 and 2011,1299 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer(GC)at our institute and their hospital records were reviewed retrospectively.Patients were immunohistochemically divided into two groups:23 patients(1.8%)with AFPproducing GC and 1276 patients(98.2%)without it.RESULTS:AFP-producing GC patients had a significantly higher incidence of deeper tumors,venous invasion,lymphatic invasion,lymph node metastasis,and liver metastasis and a poorer prognosis(P<0.005)than those without AFP-producing GC.However,multi-variate analysis revealed that AFP-positivity was not an independent prognostic factor.The prognosis of AFPproducing GC was similar to that of AFP-non producing GC according to the presence or absence of liver metastasis.Concerning recurrence,47.8%of patients(11/23)with AFP-producing GC and 20.0%of patients(256/1276)without AFP-producing GC exhibited recurrence.Liver metastasis[90.9%(10/11)]was the most prevalent in AFP-producing GC patients.Multivariate analysis revealed that liver metastasis was the only independent prognostic factor in AFP-producing GC(HR=17.6,95%CI:2.1-147.1;P=0.0081).CONCLUSION:AFP-producing GC is similar to common GC without liver metastasis,which should be specifically targeted in an effort to improve the prognosis of AFP-producing GC patients. | Shoji Hirajima Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Takeshi Kubota Kazuma Okamoto Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Hirotaka Konishi Hisashi Ikoma Eigo Otsuji | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,36: | 33 |
| 4 | A case of invasive hemolymphangioma of the pancreas显示文摘Hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is a very rare benign tumor. There were only five reports of this disease until March 2008. Herein, we report a case of hemolymphangioma of the pancreas with gastrointestinal bleeding due to duodenal invasion. A 53-year-old man had been admitted a referral hospital because of severe anemia due to gastrointestinal bleeding in December 2005. He was then transferred to our institute with a diagnosis of a tumor of the head of the pancreas with duodenal invasion in January 2006. No abnormalities were revealed except for anemia in laboratory data including CEA and CA19-9. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed bleeding at the duodenum. Computed tomography also demonstrated a heterogenous mass at the pancreatic head and suspected invasion to the duodenal wall. Ultrasonography showed a huge mass at the pancreatic head with a mixture of high and low echoic areas. Pylorous-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. The pancreatic tumor was soft and had invaded to the duodenum. The pathological diagnosis was a hemolymphangioma of the pancreas invaded to the duodenum. His postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 26th d after surgery. Hemolymphangioma of the pancreas is a very rare benign tumor. In a literature review until March 2008, we found five case reports. Major symptoms are abdominal pain and distension due to the enlarged tumor. However, we experienced a case of hemolymphangioma of the pancreas with gastrointestinal bleeding due to invasion to the duodenum. This disease is a very rare entity, but should be considered when patients have gastrointestinal bleeding. | Yoshikazu Toyoki Kenichi Hakamada Shunji Narumi Masaki Nara Daisuke Kudoh Keinosuke Ishido Mutsuo Sasaki | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,18: | 26 |
| 5 | Progression of remnant gastric cancer is associated with duration of follow-up following distal gastrectomy显示文摘AIM: To re-evaluate the recent clinicopathological features of remnant gastric cancer (RGC) and to develop desirable surveillance programs. METHODS: Between 1997 and 2008, 1149 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Department of Digestive Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Japan. Of these, 33 patients underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy for RGC. Regarding the initial gastric disease, there were 19 patients with benign disease and 14 patients with gastric cancer. The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: Concerning the initial gastric disease, the RGC group following gastric cancer had a shorter interval [P < 0.05; gastric cancer vs benign disease: 12 (2-22) vs 30 (4-51) years] and were more frequently reconstructed by Billroth-Ⅰ procedure than those following benign lesions (P < 0.001). Regarding reconstruction, RGC following Billroth-Ⅱ reconstruction showed a longer interval between surgical procedures [P < 0.001; Billroth-Ⅱ vs Billroth-Ⅰ: 32 (5-51) vs 12 (2-36) years] and tumors were more frequently associated with benign disease (P < 0.001) than those following Billroth-Ⅰ reconstruction. In tumor location of RGC, after Billroth-Ⅰ reconstruction, RGC occurred more frequently near the suture line and remnant gastric wall. After Billroth-Ⅱ reconstruction, RGC occurred more frequently at the anastomotic site. The duration of follow-up was significantly associated with the stage of RGC (P < 0.05). Patients diagnosed with early stage RGC such as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ tended to have been followed up almost every second year. CONCLUSION: Meticulous follow-up examination and early detection of RGC might lead to a better prognosis. Based on the initial gastric disease and the procedure of reconstruction, an appropriate follow-up interval and programs might enable early detection of RGC. | Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Kazuma Okamoto Daito Ikoma Masahiro Tsujiura Yukihisa Nishimura Yasutoshi Murayama Atsushi Shiozaki Hisashi Ikoma Yoshiaki Kuriu Masayoshi Nakanishi Hitoshi Fujiwara Toshiya Ochiai Yukihito Kokuba Eigo Otsuji | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,22: | 25 |
| 6 | 中国新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情基本再生数评估显示文摘目的目前湖北省的新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)确诊和疑似病例的数量仍在增加。国内外多个团队对疫情发展进行了模型预测,但结论并不统一。因此,开展本次疫情的预测模型研究、评估COVID-19的基本再生数(basic reproduction number,R0),对于评估病毒的传播能力以及一系列控制措施的效果具有重要意义。方法收集从湖北省2020年1月17日到2月8日期间每天报告的确诊病例数等数据,分别采用指数增长方法(exponential growth,EG)、极大似然法(maximum likelihood estimation,ML)、序贯贝叶斯方法(sequential Bayesian method,SB)和时间相关基本再生数(time dependent reproduction numbers,TD)估计R0值。结果由观测病例数和4种方法预测的病例数的拟合情况可知,EG方法拟合效果最优。EG方法估计COVID-19湖北省R0的值为3.49(95%CI:3.42~3.58)。采取封城控制手段期间,EG方法估算R0值为2.95(95%CI:2.86~3.03)。结论在传染病流行初期,适合采用EG方法估算R0。同时需要采取及时有效的控制措施,进一步降低COVID-19的传播速率。 | 王莹 尤心怡 王奕婧 彭丽萍 杜志成 Stuart Gilmour Daisuke Yoneoka 顾菁 郝春 郝元涛 李菁华 | 2020 | 中华流行病学杂志2020,41,4: | 22 |
| 7 | Liquid biopsy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), with its high incidence and mortality rate, is one of the most common malignant tumors. Despite recent development of a diagnostic and treatment method, the prognosis of HCC remains poor. Therefore, to provide optimal treatment for each patient with HCC, more precise and effective biomarkers are urgently needed which could facilitate a more detailed individualized decision-making during HCC treatment, including the following; risk assessment, early cancer detection, prediction of treatment or prognostic outcome. In the blood of cancer patients, accumulating evidence about circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids has suggested their potent clinical utilities as novel biomarker. This concept, so-called 'liquid biopsy' is widely known as an alternative approach to cancer tissue biopsy. This method might facilitate a more sensitive diagnosis and better decision-making by obtaining genetic and epigenetic aberrations that are closely associated with cancer initiation and progression. In this article, we review recent developments based on the available literature on both circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids in cancer patients, especially focusing on Hepatocellular carcinoma. | wataru okajima shuhei komatsu daisuke ichikawa mahito miyamae takuma ohashi taisuke imamura jun kiuchi keiji nishibeppu tomohiro arita hirotaka konishi atsushi shiozaki ryo morimura hisashi ikoma kazuma okamoto eigo otsuji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,31: | 22 |
| 8 | Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer显示文摘Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery(NCS) has not been fully evaluated clinically. Currently, the main regimen of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) used in NCS includes cisplatin. The antitumor effects of NAC reduce lymph node metastasis and the tumor diameter in patients prior to surgery, and this can reduce the number of high risk patients who require postoperative radiation therapy. Many randomized controlled trials(RCTs) have examined the long-term prognosis of NCS compared to primary surgery, but the utility of NCS remains uncertain. The advent of concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) has markedly improved the outcome of radiotherapy(RT), and CCRT is now used as a standard method in many cases of advanced bulky cervical cancer. NCS gives a better treatment outcome than radiation therapy alone, but it is important to verify that NCS gives a similar or better outcome compared to CCRT. | Takashi Iwata Azumi Miyauchi Yukako Suga Hiroshi Nishio Masaru Nakamura Akiko Ohno Nobumaru Hirao Tohru Morisada Kyoko Tanaka Hiroki Ueyama Hidemichi Watari Daisuke Aoki | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2016,28,2: | 20 |
| 9 | Clinicopathological features of alpha-fetoprotein producing early gastric cancer with enteroblastic differentiation显示文摘AIM To investigate clinicopathological features of early stage gastric cancer with enteroblastic differentiation(GCED).METHODS We retrospectively investigated data on 6 cases of early stage GCED and 186 cases of early stage conventional gastric cancer(CGC: well or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma) who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic mucosal resection from September 2011 to February 2015 in our hospital.GCED was defined as a tumor having a primitive intestine-like structure composed of cuboidal or columnar cells with clear cytoplasm and immunohistochemical positivity for either alpha-fetoprotein, Glypican 3 or SALL4. The following were compared between GCED and CGC: age, gender, location and size of tumor, macroscopic type, ulceration, depth of invasion, lymphatic and venous invasion, positive horizontal and vertical margin, curative resection rate.RESULTS Six cases(5 males, 1 female; mean age 75.7 years; 6 lesions) of early gastric cancer with a GCED component and 186 cases(139 males, 47 females; mean age 72.7 years; 209 lesions) of early stage CGC were investigated. Mean tumor diameters were similar but rates of submucosal invasion, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, and non-curative resection were higher in GCED than CGC(66.6% vs 11.4%, 33.3% vs 2.3%, 66.6% vs 0.4%, 83.3% vs 11% respectively, P < 0.01). Deep submucosal invasion was not revealed endoscopically or by preoperative biopsy. Histologically, in GCED the superficial mucosal layer was covered with a CGC component. The GCED component tended to exist in the deeper part of the mucosa to the submucosa by lymphatic and/or venous invasion, without severe stromal reaction. In addition, Glypican 3 was the most sensitive marker for GCED(positivity, 83.3%), immunohistochemically.CONCLUSION Even in the early stage GCED has high malignant potential, and preoperative diagnosis is considered difficult. Endoscopists and pathologists should know the clinicopathological features of this highly malignant type of cancer. | Kohei Matsumoto Hiroya Ueyama Kenshi Matsumoto Yoichi Akazawa Hiroyuki Komori Tsutomu Takeda Takashi Murakami Daisuke Asaoka Mariko Hojo Natsumi Tomita Akihito Nagahara Yoshiaki Kajiyama Takashi Yao Sumio Watanabe | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,36: | 20 |
| 10 | Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors for hypertension显示文摘Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily, which is composed of four members encoded by distinct genes(α, β, γ, and δ). The genes undergo transactivation or transrepression under specific mechanisms that lead to the induction or repression of target gene expression. As is the case with other nuclear receptors, all four PPAR isoforms contain five or six structural regions in four functional domains; namely, A/B, C, D, and E/F. PPARs have many functions, particularly functions involving control of vascular tone, inflammation, and energy homeostasis, and are, therefore, important targets for hypertension, obesity, obesity-induced inflammation, and metabolic syndrome in general. Hence, PPARs also represent drug targets, and PPARα and PPARγ agonists are used clinically in the treatment of dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, respectively. Because of their pleiotropic effects, they have been identified as active in a number of diseases and are targets for the development of a broad range of therapies for a variety of diseases. It is likely that the range of PPARγ agonist therapeutic actions will result in novel approaches to lifestyle and other diseases. The combination of PPARs with reagents or with other cardiovascular drugs, such as diuretics and angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers, should be studied.This article provides a review of PPAR isoform characteristics, a discussion of progress in our understanding of the biological actions of PPARs, and a summary of PPAR agonist development for patient management. We also include a summary of the experimental and clinical evidence obtained from animal studies and clinical trials conducted to evaluate the usefulness and effectiveness of PPAR agonists in the treatment of lifestyle-related diseases. | Daisuke Usuda Tsugiyasu Kanda | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014,6,8: | 19 |
| 11 | Deep-learning classifier with ultrawide-field fundus ophthalmoscopy for detecting branch retinal vein occlusion显示文摘AIM: To investigate and compare the efficacy of two machine-learning technologies with deep-learning(DL) and support vector machine(SVM) for the detection of branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO) using ultrawide-field fundus images. METHODS: This study included 237 images from 236 patients with BRVO with a mean±standard deviation of age 66.3±10.6 y and 229 images from 176 non-BRVO healthy subjects with a mean age of 64.9±9.4 y. Training was conducted using a deep convolutional neural network using ultrawide-field fundus images to construct the DL model. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value(PPV), negative predictive value(NPV) and area under the curve(AUC) were calculated to compare the diagnostic abilities of the DL and SVM models. RESULTS: For the DL model, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and AUC for diagnosing BRVO was 94.0%(95%CI: 93.8%-98.8%), 97.0%(95%CI: 89.7%-96.4%), 96.5%(95%CI: 94.3%-98.7%), 93.2%(95%CI: 90.5%-96.0%) and 0.976(95%CI: 0.960-0.993), respectively. In contrast, for the SVM model, these values were 80.5%(95%CI: 77.8%-87.9%), 84.3%(95%CI: 75.8%-86.1%), 83.5%(95%CI: 78.4%-88.6%), 75.2%(95%CI: 72.1%-78.3%) and 0.857(95%CI: 0.811-0.903), respectively. The DL model outperformed the SVM model in all the aforementioned parameters(P<0.001). CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the combination of the DL model and ultrawide-field fundus ophthalmoscopy may distinguish between healthy and BRVO eyes with a high level of accuracy. The proposed combination may be used for automatically diagnosing BRVO in patients residing in remote areas lacking access to an ophthalmic medical center. | Daisuke Nagasato Hitoshi Tabuchi Hideharu Ohsugi Hiroki Masumoto Hiroki Enno Naofumi Ishitobi Tomoaki Sonobe Masahiro Kameoka Masanori Niki Yoshinori Mitamura | 2019 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2019,12,1: | 16 |
| 12 | Optimal duration of the early and late recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy显示文摘AIM: To determine the best cut-off value between the early and late recurrence periods after the initial recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS: The clinical records of 404 patients who underwent macroscopic curative hepatectomy for HCC between 1980 and 2010 were retrospectively examined. We divided the 252 patients experienced a recurrence of HCC into two groups, the early and late recurrence groups using the 'minimum P-value' approach. Factors for early recurrence were investigated using all 404 patients, and factors related to late recurrence were investigated in the patients who were confirmed to be recurrence free at the end of the early recurrence period.RESULTS: For the 252 patients who experienced a recurrence, the optimal cut-off value for differentiating early and late recurrence based on the overall survival after initial recurrence was 17 mo(5-year overall survival after initial recurrence: 15.4% vs 36.3%, P = 0.000018). Cox proportional hazard analysis identified early recurrence(P = 0.003) as one of the independent prognostic factors associated with overall survival after initial recurrence. A logistic regression model showed that an alpha-fetoprotein level > 100 ng/m L(P < 0.001), multiple HCC(P < 0.001), serosal invasion(P = 0.031), and microvascular invasion(P = 0.012) were independent factors associated with early recurrence, whereas the only independent factor related to late recurrence was liver cirrhosis(P = 0.002).CONCLUSION: Seventeen months after hepatectomy is a useful cut-off value between early and late recurrence of HCC based on the prognosis and different etiologies. | Yusuke Yamamoto Hisashi Ikoma Ryo Morimura Hirotaka Konishi Yasutoshi Murayama Shuhei Komatsu Atsushi Shiozaki Yoshiaki Kuriu Takeshi Kubota Masayoshi Nakanishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Chouhei Sakakura Toshiya Ochiai Eigo Otsuji | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,4: | 14 |

| 14 | Risk factors to predict severe postoperative pancreatic fistula following gastrectomy for gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To allow the identification of high-risk postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF)patients with special reference to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula(ISGPF)classification.METHODS:Between 1997 and 2010,1341 consecutive patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Department of Digestive Surgery,Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine,Japan.Based on the preoperative diagnosis,total or distal gastrectomy and sufficient lymphadenectomy was performed,mainly according to the Japanese guidelines for the treatment of gastric cancer.Of these,35 patients(2.6%)were diagnosed with Grade B or C POPF according to the ISGPF classification and were treated intensively.The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS:Of 35 patients with severe POPF,17(49%)and 18(51%)patients were classified as Grade B and C POPF,respectively.From several clinical factors,the severity of POPF according to the ISGPF classification was significantly correlated with the duration of intensive POPF treatments(P=0.035).Regarding the clinical factors to distinguish extremely severe POPF,older patients(P=0.035,65 years≤vs<65 years old)and those with lower lymphocyte counts at the diagnosis of POPF(P=0.007,<1400/mm3vs 1400/mm3≤)were significantly correlated with Grade C POPF,and a low lymphocyte count was an independent risk factor by multivariate analysis[P=0.045,OR=10.45(95%CI:1.050-104.1)].CONCLUSION:Caution and intensive care are required for older POPF patients and those with lower lymphocyte counts at the diagnosis of POPF. | Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Kingo Kashimoto Takeshi Kubota Kazuma Okamoto Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Hitoshi Fujiwara Eigo Otsuji | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,46: | 13 |
| 15 | Clinical utility of the platelet-lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of postoperative complications after radical gastrectomy for clinical T2-4 gastric cancer显示文摘AIM To identify simple and sensitive markers for postoperative complications after gastrectomy, the predictive values were compared among candidate preoperative factors. METHODS Three-hundred and twelve patients with previously untreated clinical T2-4 gastric cancer who underwent a D2 standard gastrectomy(distal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy) were included in the analysis.Correlations between 21 parameters that can be determined by preoperative routine blood tests and clinically relevant postoperative complications(grade Ⅱ or higher according to the Clavien-Dindo classification) were evaluated. The optimal cutoff values and clinical significance of the selected markers were further evaluated by subgroup analyses according to age, body mass index, operative procedure and clinical disease stage.RESULTS Sixty-six patients(21.1%) experienced grade Ⅱ or higher postoperative complications. The plateletlymphocyte ratio(PLR, total lymphocyte count/platelet count × 100) exhibited the highest area under the curve value(0.639) for predicting postoperative complications among the 21 parameters, and the optimal cutoff value was determined to be 0.71(sensitivity = 70%, specificity = 56%). In the univariate analysis, the odds ratio of a low PLR for the occurrence of postoperative complications was 2.94(95%CI: 1.66-5.35, P < 0.001), and a multivariate binomial logistic analysis involving other potential risk factors identified a low PLR as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications(OR = 3.32, 95%CI: 1.82-6.25, P < 0.001). In subgroups classified according to age, body mass index, operative procedure and clinical disease stage, the low PLR group exhibited an increased incidence of postoperative complications. CONCLUSION The preoperative PLR is a simple and useful predictor of complications after curative gastrectomy in patients with clinical T2-4 gastric cancer. | Kenichi Inaoka Mitsuro Kanda Hiroaki Uda Yuri Tanaka Chie Tanaka Daisuke Kobayashi Hideki Takami Naoki Iwata Masamichi Hayashi Yukiko Niwa Suguru Yamada Tsutomu Fujii Hiroyuki Sugimoto Kenta Murotani Michitaka Fujiwara Yasuhiro Kodera | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,14: | 13 |
| 16 | Clinical therapeutic strategies for early stage of diabetic kidney disease显示文摘Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease, leading to end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease. The overall number of patients with DKD will continue to increase in parallel with the increasing global pandemic of type 2 diabetes. Based on landmark clinical trials, DKD has become preventable by controlling conventional factors, including hyperglycemia and hypertension, with multifactorial therapy; however, the remaining risk of DKD progression is still high. In this review, we show the importance of targeting remission/regression of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients, which may protect against the progression of DKD and cardiovascular events. To achieve remission/regression of microalbuminuria, several steps are important, including the early detection of microalbuminuria with continuousscreening, targeting HbA1c < 7.0% for glucose control, the use of renin angiotensin system inhibitors to control blood pressure, the use of statins or fibrates to control dyslipidemia, and multifactorial treatment. Reducing microalbuminuria is therefore an important therapeutic goal, and the absence of microalbuminuria could be a pivotal biomarker of therapeutic success in diabetic patients. Other therapies, including vitamin D receptor activation, uric acid-lowering drugs, and incretin-related drugs, may also be promising for the prevention of DKD progression. | Munehiro Kitada Keizo Kanasaki Daisuke Koya | 2014 | World Journal of Diabetes2014,5,3: | 12 |
| 17 | Prognosis of ulcerative colitis differs between patients with complete and partial mucosal healing, which can be predicted from the platelet count显示文摘AIM:To determine the difference in clinical outcome between ulcerative colitis(UC)patients with Mayo endoscopic subscore(MES)0 and those with MES 1.METHODS:UC patients with sustained clinical remission of 6 mo or more at the time of colonoscopy were examined for clinical outcomes and the hazard ratios of clinical relapse according to MES.Parameters,including blood tests,to identify predictive factors for MES 0and slight endoscopic recurrence in clinically stablepatients were assessed.Moreover,a receiver operating characteristic curve was generated,and the area under the curve was calculated to indicate the utility of the parameters for the division between complete and partial mucosal healing.All P values were two-sided and considered significant when less than 0.05.RESULTS:A total of 183 patients with clinical remission were examined.Patients with MES 0(complete mucosal healing:n=80,44%)were much less likely to relapse than those with MES 1(partial mucosal healing:n=89,48%)(P<0.0001,log-rank test),and the hazard ratio of risk of relapse in patients with MES 1 vs MES0 was 8.17(95%CI:4.19-17.96,P<0.0001).The platelet count(PLT)<26×104/μL was an independent predictive factor for complete mucosal healing(OR=4.1,95%CI:2.15-7.99).Among patients with MES 0 at the initial colonoscopy,patients of whom colonoscopy findings shifted to MES 1 showed significant increases in PLT compared to those who maintained MES 0(3.8×104/μL vs-0.6×104/μL,P<0.0001).CONCLUSION:The relapse rate differed greatly between patients with complete and partial mucosal healing.A shift from complete to partial healing in clinically stable UC patients can be predicted by monitoring PLT. | Asuka Nakarai Jun Kato Sakiko Hiraoka Toshihiro Inokuchi Daisuke Takei Yuki Moritou Mitsuhiro Akita Sakuma Takahashi Keisuke Hori Keita Harada Hiroyuki Okada Kazuhide Yamamoto | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,48: | 11 |
| 18 | Surgical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with severe intratumoral arterioportal shunt显示文摘We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that caused a severe arterioportal shunt (APS). A 49-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to esophagogastric variceal hemorrhage and HCC, and underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS). He was then referred to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a lowdensity lesion in the posterior segment of the liver and an intratumoral APS, which caused portal hypertension. Although the patient underwent EVL, EIS, Hassab’s operation, and transcatheter arterial embolization for APS, he vomited blood due to rupture of esophagogastric varices. Right hepatectomy was performed for the treatment of HCC and APS, although the indocyanine green retention value at 15 min after intravenous injection was poor (30%). The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. Eventually, APS disappeared and the esophagogastric varices improved. | Hiromichi Ishii Teruhisa Sonoyama Shingo Nakashima Hiroyuki Nagata Atsushi Shiozaki Yoshiaki Kuriu Hisashi Ikoma Masayoshi Nakanishi Daisuke Ichikawa Hitoshi Fujiwara Kazuma Okamoto Toshiya Ochiai Yukihito Kokuba Chohei Sakakura Eigo Otsuji | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,25: | 11 |
| 19 | Liquid biopsy in patients with pancreatic cancer: Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids显示文摘Despite recent advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the prognosis of pancreatic cancer(PCa) remains extremely poor. To provide optimal treatment for each patient with Pca, superior biomarkers are urgently needed in all phases of management from early detection to staging, treatment monitoring, and prognosis. In the blood of patients with cancer, circulating tumor cells(CTCs) and cell-free nucleic acids(cf NAs), such as DNA, m RNA, and noncoding RNA have been recognized. In the recent years, their presence in the blood has encouraged researchers to investigate their potential use as novel blood biomarkers, and numerous studies have demonstrated their potential clinical utility as a biomarker for certain types of cancer. This concept, called 'liquid biopsy' has been focused on as a less invasive, alternative approach to cancer tissue biopsy for obtaining genetic and epigenetic aberrations that contribute to oncogenesis and cancer progression. In this article, we review the available literature on CTCs and cfN As in patients with cancer, particularly focusing on PCa, and discuss future perspectives in this field. | Taisuke Imamura Shuhei Komatsu Daisuke Ichikawa Tsutomu Kawaguchi Mahito Miyamae Wataru Okajima Takuma Ohashi Tomohiro Arita Hirotaka Konishi Atsushi Shiozaki Ryo Morimura Hisashi Ikoma Kazuma Okamoto Eigo Otsuji | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,25: | 10 |
| 20 | Characterization of peach tree crown by using high-resolution images from an unmanned aerial vehicle显示文摘In orchards, measuring crown characteristics is essential for monitoring the dynamics of tree growth and optimizing farm management. However, it lacks a rapid and reliable method of extracting the features of trees with an irregular crown shape such as trained peach trees. Here, we propose an efficient method of segmenting the individual trees and measuring the crown width and crown projection area (CPA) of peach trees with time-series information, based on gathered images. The images of peach trees were collected by unmanned aerial vehicles in an orchard in Okayama, Japan, and then the digital surface model was generated by using a Structure from Motion (SfM) and Multi-View Stereo (MVS) based software. After individual trees were identified through the use of an adaptive threshold and marker-controlled watershed segmentation in the digital surface model, the crown widths and CPA were calculated, and the accuracy was evaluated against manual delineation and field measurement, respectively. Taking manual delineation of 12 trees as reference, the root-mean-square errors of the proposed method were 0.08 m (R^(2) = 0.99) and 0.15 m (R^(2) = 0.93) for the two orthogonal crown widths, and 3.87 m2 for CPA (R^(2) = 0.89), while those taking field measurement of 44 trees as reference were 0.47 m (R^(2) = 0.91), 0.51 m (R^(2) = 0.74), and 4.96 m2 (R^(2) = 0.88). The change of growth rate of CPA showed that the peach trees grew faster from May to July than from July to September, with a wide variation in relative growth rates among trees. Not only can this method save labour by replacing field measurement, but also it can allow farmers to monitor the growth of orchard trees dynamically. | Yue Mu Yuichiro Fujii Daisuke Takata Bangyou Zheng Koji Noshita Kiyoshi Honda Seishi Ninomiya Wei Guo | 2018 | Horticulture Research2018,5,1: | 9 |
