| 1 | A new method of discriminating different types of post-Archean ophiolitic basalts and their tectonic significance using Th-Nb and Ce-Dy-Yb systematics显示文摘In this paper,a new discrimination diagram using absolute measures of Th and Nb is applied to postArchean ophiolites to best discriminate a large number of different ophiolitic basalts.This diagram was obtained using>2000 known ophiolitic basalts and was tested using w560 modern rocks from known tectonic settings.Ten different basaltic varieties from worldwide ophiolitic complexes have been examined.They include two basaltic types that have never been considered before,which are:(1)medium-Ti basalts(MTB)generated at nascent forearc settings;(2)a type of mid-ocean ridge basalts showing garnet signature(G-MORB)that characterizes Alpine-type(i.e.,non volcanic)rifted margins and ocean-continent transition zones(OCTZ).In the Th-Nb diagram,basalts generated in oceanic subductionunrelated settings,rifted margins,and OCTZ can be distinguished from subduction-related basalts with a misclassi fi cation rate<1%.This diagram highlights the chemical variation of oceanic,rifted margin,and OCTZ basalts from depleted compositions to progressively more enriched compositions re fl ecting,in turn,the variance of source composition and degree of melting within the MORB-OIB array.It also highlights the chemical contributions of enriched(OIB-type)components to mantle sources.Enrichment of Th relative to Nb is particularly effective for highlighting crustal input via subduction or crustal contamination.Basalts formed at continental margin arcs and island arc with a complex polygenetic crust can be distinguished from those generated in intra-oceanic arcs in supra-subduction zones(SSZ)with a misclassi fi cation rate<1%.Within the SSZ group,two sub-settings can be recognized with a misclassi fi cation rate<0.5%.They are:(1)SSZ in fl uenced by chemical contribution from subductionderived components(forearc and intra-arc sub-settings)characterized by island arc tholeiitic(IAT)and boninitic basalts;(2)SSZ with no contribution from subduction-derived components(nascent forearc sub-settings)characterized by MTBs and depleted-MORBs.Two additional discrimination diagrams are proposed:(1)a Dy-Yb diagram is used for discriminating boninite and IAT basalts;(2)a Ce/Yb-Dy/Yb diagram is used for discriminating G-MORBs and normal MORBs.The proposed method may effectively assist in recovering the tectonic af fi nity of ancient ophiolites,which is fundamental for establishing the geodynamic evolution of ancient oceanic and continental domains,as well as orogenic belts. | Emilio Saccani | 2015 | Geoscience Frontiers2015,6,4: | 34 |
| 2 | 在 hilar cholangiocarcinoma 的外科的切除术的原则显示文摘 The aim of this article is to describe the surgical techniques for the treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma(HC).Resection with microscopically negative margin(R0) is the only way to cure patients with HC.Today,resection of the caudate lobe and part of segment Ⅳ,combined with a right or left hepatectomy,bile duct resection,lymphadenectomy of the hepatic hilum and sometimes vascular resection,is the standard surgical procedure for HC.Intraoperative frozen-section examination of proximal and distal biliary margins is necessary to confirm the suitability of resection.Although lymphadenectomy probably has little direct effect on survival,inaccurate staging information may influence post resection treatment recommendations.Aggressive venous and arterial resections should be undertaken in selected cases to achieve a R0 resection.The concept of 'no-touch proposed' in 1999 by Neuhaus et al combine an extended right hepatectomy with systematic portal vein resection and caudate lobectomy avoiding hilar dissection and possible intraoperative microscopic dissemination of cancer cells.More recently minor liver resections have been proposed for treatment of HC.As the hilar bifurcation of the bile ducts is near to liver segments Ⅳ,Ⅴ and Ⅰ,adequate liver resection of these segments together with the bile ducts can result in cure. | Emilio Ramos | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2013,5,7: | 21 |
| 3 | Modified porous tantalum rod technique for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis显示文摘AIM: To study a modified porous tantalum technique for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.METHODS: The porous tantalum rod was combined with endoscopy,curettage,autologous bone grafting and use of bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest aspiration in 49 patients(58 hips) with a mean age of 38 years.The majority of the patients had idiopathic osteonecrosis,followed by corticosteroid-induced osteonecrosis.Thirtyeight hips were of Steinberg stage Ⅱ disease and 20 hips were of stage Ⅲ disease.Patients were followed for 5 years and were evaluated clinically with the Merle D'Aubigne and Postel score and radiologically.The primary outcome of the study was survival based on the conversion to total hip arthroplasty(THA).Secondary outcomes included deterioration of the osteonecrosis to a higher disease stage at 5 years compared to the preoperative period and identification of factors that were associated with survival.The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the survivorship ofthe prosthesis,and the Fisher exact test was performed to test associations between various parameters with survival.RESULTS: No patient developed any serious intraoperative or postoperative complication including implant loosening or migration and donor site morbidity.During the 5-year follow up,1 patient died,7 patients had disease progression and 4 hips were converted to THA.The 5-year survival based on conversion to THA was 93.1% and the respective rate based on disease progression was 87.9%.Stage Ⅱ disease was associated with statistically significant better survival rates compared to stage Ⅲ disease(P = 0.04).The comparison between idiopathic and non-idiopathic osteonecrosis and between steroid-induced and non-steroid-induced osteonecrosis did not showed any statistically significant difference in survival rates.The clinical evaluation revealed statistically significantly improved Merle d'Aubigne scores at 12 mo postoperatively compared to the preoperative period(P < 0.001).The mean preoperative Merle d'Aubigne score was 13.0(SD: 1.8).The respective score at 12 mo improved to 17.0(SD: 2.0).The 12-mo mean score was retained at 5 years.CONCLUSION: The modified porous tantalum rod technique presented here showed encouraging outcomes.The survival rates based on conversion to THA are the lowest reported in the published literature. | Emilios E Pakos Panayiotis Megas Nikolaos K Paschos Spyridon A Syggelos Antonios Kouzelis Georgios Georgiadis Theodoros A Xenakis | 2015 | World Journal of Orthopedics2015,6,10: | 20 |

| 5 | 远程耦合世界的可持续性框架显示文摘远距离之间的相互作用及其影响日益广泛。这种远程相互作用往往会对可持续发展产生深远的影响并会造成意想不到的结果。很多可持续性研究都是针对某个特定地点进行的,很少注重多个地点之间远程相互作用对可持续性所产生的影响。虽然有些研究涉及到远程因素,但通常都把它们看作外在变量,而未把它们看作反馈。为了更好地理解和综合各种远程相互作用,本文提出了一种基于远程耦合的综合框架,它是一个远距离社会经济和环境相互作用的总体概念。人类与自然耦合系统是研究在特定地点发生的相互作用,远程耦合概念是对人类与自然耦合系统研究的自然延伸。远程耦合框架包括五个相关的组成部分,即:人类与自然耦合系统、流、代理、原因、和影响。本文通过农产品贸易和物种入侵两个远程相互作用的例子来解释远程耦合框架,重点阐述远程耦合框架的影响,并讨论促进远程耦合研究发展的研究条件和方法。这个框架有助于分析系统内各组成部分以及它们之间的相互关系,找出研究差距,探索其中的隐含成本以及尚未开发的优势,提供引入反馈及多系统(发送、接收和外溢系统)之间权衡和协同的有效手段,从本地到全球各个层面加深对远程相互作用的认识,并提高社会经济和环境可http://gffzz31576c8fc0de4618hfv5fk66offpw6fwb.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn续发展政策的有效性。 | 刘建国 Vanessa Hull Mateus Batistella Ruth DeFries Thomas Dietz 付峰 Thomas W.Hertel R.Cesar Izaurralde Eric F.Lambin 李舒心 Luiz A.Martinelli William J.McConnell Emilio F.Moran Rosamond Naylor 欧阳志云 KarenR.Polenske Anette Reenberg Gilberto de Miranda Rocha Cynthia S.Simmons Peter H.Verburg Peter M.Vitousek 张福锁 朱春全 | 2016 | 生态学报2016,36,23: | 19 |
| 6 | A survey of remote sensing-based aboveground biomass estimation methods in forest ecosystems显示文摘Remote sensing-based methods of aboveground biomass(AGB)estimation in forest ecosystems have gained increased attention,and substantial research has been conducted in the past three decades.This paper provides a survey of current biomass estimation methods using remote sensing data and discusses four critical issues–collection of field-based biomass reference data,extraction and selection of suitable variables from remote sensing data,identification of proper algorithms to develop biomass estimation models,and uncertainty analysis to refine the estimation procedure.Additionally,we discuss the impacts of scales on biomass estimation performance and describe a general biomass estimation procedure.Although optical sensor and radar data have been primary sources for AGB estimation,data saturation is an important factor resulting in estimation uncertainty.LIght Detection and Ranging(lidar)can remove data saturation,but limited availability of lidar data prevents its extensive application.This literature survey has indicated the limitations of using single-sensor data for biomass estimation and the importance of integrating multi-sensor/scale remote sensing data to produce accurate estimates over large areas.More research is needed to extract a vertical vegetation structure(e.g.canopy height)from interferometry synthetic aperture radar(InSAR)or optical stereo images to incorporate it into horizontal structures(e.g.canopy cover)in biomass estimation modeling. | Dengsheng Lu Qi Chen Guangxing Wang Lijuan Liu Guiying Li Emilio Moran | 2016 | International Journal of Digital Earth2016,9,1: | 17 |
| 7 | Cardioprotection by remote ischemic conditioning: Mechanisms and clinical evidences显示文摘In remote ischemic conditioning(RIC), several cycles of ischemia and reperfusion render distant organ and tissues more resistant to the ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intermittent ischemia can be applied before the ischemic insult in the target site(remote ischemic preconditioning), during the ischemic insult(remote ischemic perconditioning) or at the onset of reperfusion(remote ischemic postconditioning). The mechanisms of RIC have not been completely defined yet; however, these mechanisms must be represented by the release of humoral mediators and/or the activation of a neural reflex. RIC has been discovered in the heart, and has been arising great enthusiasm in the cardiovascular field. Its efficacy has been evaluated in many clinical trials, which provided controversial results. Our incomplete comprehension of the mechanisms underlying the RIC could be impairing the design of clinical trials and the interpretation of their results. In the present review we summarize current knowledge about RIC pathophysiology and the data about its cardioprotective efficacy. | Alberto Aimo Chiara Borrelli Alberto Giannoni Luigi Emilio Pastormerlo Andrea Barison Gianluca Mirizzi Michele Emdin Claudio Passino | 2015 | World Journal of Cardiology2015,7,10: | 15 |
| 8 | Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis显示文摘A large body of experimental and clinical data supports the notion that inflammation in acute pancreatitis has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of local and systemic damage and is a major determinant of clinical severity.Thus,research has recently focused on molecules that can regulate the inflammatory processes,such as phosphoinositide 3-kinases(PI3Ks),a family of lipid and protein kinases involved in intracellular signal transduction.Studies using genetic ablation or pharmacologic inhibitors of different PI3 K isoforms,in particular the class I PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ,have contributed to a greater understanding of the roles of these kinases in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses.Recent data suggest that PI3 Ks are also involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis.Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway,and in particular of the class IB PI3Kγ isoform,has a significant role in those events which are necessary for the initiation of acute pancreatic injury,namely calcium signaling alteration,trypsinogen activation,and nuclear factor-κB transcription.Moreover,PI3Kγ is instrumental in modulating acinar cell apoptosis,and regulating local neutrophil infiltration and systemic inflammatory responses during the course of experimental acute pancreatitis.The availability of PI3 K inhibitors selective for specific isoforms may provide new valuable therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical course of this disease.This article presents a brief summary of PI3 K structure and function,and highlights recent advances that implicate PI3 Ks in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. | Enrico Lupia Luca Pigozzi Alberto Goffi Emilio Hirsch Giuseppe Montrucchio | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,41: | 15 |
| 9 | Smart inverter operation in distribution networks with high penetration of photovoltaic systems显示文摘With the growing number and capacity of photovoltaic(PV)installations connected to distribution networks,power quality issues related to voltage regulation are becoming relevant problems for power distribution companies and for PV owners.In many countries,like Italy,this has required the revision of the standards concerning the connection to the public distribution network of distributed renewable generation.The new standards require a flexible operation of generation plants that have to be capable to change the active and reactive power dynamically in function of the network parameters(i.e.frequency and network local voltage)in local control or following external commands.Therefore,this paper investigates the use of smart inverter in a critical PV installation,where relevant voltage fluctuations exist.A case study,with real network parameters monitoring data and measurements,is discussed in the paper with the aim of showing how‘smart’features of new inverters can be implemented to increase PV plant integration in low voltage distribution networks. | Emilio GHIANI Fabrizio PILO | 2015 | Journal of Modern Power Systems and Clean Energy2015,3,4: | 13 |
| 10 | Simultaneous intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct and pancreas treated with chemoradiotherapy显示文摘Some authors have suggested that intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the bile duct(IPMN-B) could be the the biliary counterpart of IPMN of the pancreas(IPMN-P) since they share several clinical-pathological features.These include prominent intraductal papil-lary proliferation pattern,a gastrointestinal phenotype,frequent mucin hyper-secretion and progression to mu-cinous carcinoma.To date there are just four reported cases of patients with synchronous IPMN-B and IPMN-P all of which were treated surgically.We hereby report the case of a 76-year-old woman who was incidentally diagnosed with both an asymptomatic 3 cm bulky uid lesion obstructing the bile duct lumen,diagnosed as a malignant IPMN-B,and synchronous multiple pancreatic cystic lesions(10-13 mm) communicating with an irreg-ular Wirsung,diagnosed as branch duct IPMN-P.Since surgery was ruled-out because of the patient's age and preferences,she underwent a conservative manage-ment regimen comprising both chemotherapy and radio-therapy.This was effective in decreasing the mass size and in resolving subsequent jaundice.This is also the f irst reported case of IPMN-B successfully treated with chemoradiotherapy.Clinicians should consider medical treatment as an option in this clinical scenario,in pa-tients who may be unf it for surgery. | Roberto Valente Gabriele Capurso Paola Pierantognetti Elsa Iannicelli Matteo Piciucchi Adriana Romiti Paolo Mercantini Alberto Larghi Giulia Francesca Federici Viola Barucca Maria Falchetto Osti Emilio Di Giulio Vincenzo Ziparo Gianfranco Delle Fave | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2012,4,2: | 13 |
| 11 | Vitamin D deficiency in chronic liver disease显示文摘Vitamin D is an important secosteroid hormone with known effect on calcium homeostasis,but recently there is increasing recognition that vitamin D also is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation,has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties.Vitamin D deficiency has been frequently reported in many causes of chronic liver disease and has been associated with the development and evolution of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and chronic hepatitis C(CHC)virus infection.The role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and CHC is not completely known,but it seems that the involvement of vitamin D in the activation and regulation of both innate and adaptive immune systems and its antiproliferative effect may explain its importance in these liver diseases.Published studies provide evidence for routine screening for hypovitaminosis D in patients with liver disease.Further prospectives studies demonstrating the impact of vitamin D replacement in NAFLD and CHC are required. | Paula Iruzubieta lvaro Terán Javier Crespo Emilio Fábrega | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,12: | 13 |
| 12 | Alcoholism: A systemic proinflammatory condition显示文摘Excessive ethanol consumption affects virtually any organ,both by indirect and direct mechanisms.Considerable research in the last two decades has widened the knowledge about the paramount importance of proinflammatory cytokines and oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of many of the systemic manifestations of alcoholism.These cytokines derive primarily from activated Kupffer cells exposed to Gram-negative intestinal bacteria,which reach the liver in supra-physiological amounts due to ethanol-mediated increased gut permeability.Reactive oxygen species(ROS)that enhance the inflammatory response are generated both by activation of Kupffer cells and by the direct metabolic effects of ethanol.The effects of this increased cytokine secretion and ROS generation lie far beyond liver damage.In addition to the classic consequences of endotoxemia associated with liver cirrhosis that weredescribed several decades ago,important research in the last ten years has shown that cytokines may also induce damage in remote organs such as brain,bone,muscle,heart,lung,gonads,peripheral nerve,and pancreas.These effects are even seen in alcoholics without significant liver disease.Therefore,alcoholism can be viewed as an inflammatory condition,a concept which opens the possibility of using new therapeutic weapons to treat some of the complications of this devastating and frequent disease.In this review we examine some of the most outstanding consequences of the altered cytokine regulation that occurs in alcoholics in organs other than the liver. | Emilio González-Reimers Francisco Santolaria-Fernández María Candelaria Martín-González Camino María Fernández-Rodríguez Geraldine Quintero-Platt | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,40: | 12 |
| 13 | 由“到 laparoscopic 外科的桥 stenting ”的设法的尖锐 colorectal 阻塞: 我们的经验显示文摘 AIM: To verify the clinical results of the endoscopic stenting procedure for colorectal obstructions followed by laparoscopic colorectal resection with 'one stage anastomosis'. METHODS: From March 2003 to March 2009 in our surgical department, 48 patients underwent endoscopic stenting for colorectal occlusive lesion: 30 males (62.5%) and 18 females (37.5%) with an age range from 40 years to 92 years (median age 69.5). All patients enrolled in our study were diagnosed with an intestinal obstruction originating from the colorectal tract without bowel perforation signs. Obstruction was primitive colorectal cancer in 45 cases (93.7%) and benign anastomotic stricture in 3 cases (6.3%). RESULTS: Surgical resection was totally laparoscopic in 69% of cases (24 patients) while 17% (6 patients) of cases were video-assisted due to the local extension of cancer with infiltrations of surrounding structures (urinary bladder in 2 cases, ileus and iliac vessels in the others). In 14% of cases (5 patients), resection was performed by open surgery due to the high American Society of Anesthesiologists score and the elderly age of patients (median age of 89 years). We performed a terminal stomy in only 7 patients out of 35, 6 colostomies and one ileostomy (in a total colectomy). In the other 28 cases (80%), we performed bowel anastomosis at the same time as resection, employing a temporary ileostomy only in 5 cases. CONCLUSION: Colorectal stenting transforms an emergency operation in to an elective operation performable in a totally laparoscopic manner, limiting the confection of colostomy with its correlated complications. | Pierfrancesco Bonfante Luigi D’Ambra Stefano Berti Emilio Falco Massimo Vittorio Cristoni Romolo Briglia | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2012,4,12: | 11 |
| 14 | Metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients:An unholy alliance显示文摘For many years, it has been recognized that hypertension tends to cluster with various anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities including abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hyperuricemia. This constellation of various conditions has been transformed from a pathophysiological concept to a clinical entity, which has been defined metabolic syndrome(MetS). The consequences of the MetS have been difficult to assess without commonly accepted criteria to diagnose it. For this reason, on 2009 the International Diabetes Federation, the American Heart Association and other scientific organizations proposed a unified MetS definition. The incidence of the MetS has been increasing worldwide in parallel with an increase in overweight and obesity. The epidemic proportion reached by the MetS represents a major public health challenge, because several lines of evidence showed that the MetS, even without type 2 diabetes, confers an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in different populations including also hypertensive patients. It is likely that the enhanced cardiovascular risk associated with MetS in patients with high blood pressure may be largely mediated through an increased prevalence of preclinical cardiovascular and renal changes, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, early carotid atherosclerosis, impaired aortic elasticity, hypertensive retinopathy and microalbuminuria. Indeed, many reports support this notion, showing that hypertensive patients with MetS exhibit, more often than those without it, these early signs of end organ damage, most of which are recognized as significant independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. | Giuseppe Mulè IIenia Calcaterra Emilio Nardi Giovanni Cerasola Santina Cottone | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014,6,9: | 10 |
| 15 | Chronic kidney disease in acute coronary syndromes显示文摘Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is associated with a high burden of coronary artery disease. In patients with acute coronary syndromes(ACS), CKD is highly prevalent and associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes. Management of patients with CKD presenting with ACS is more complex than in the general population because of the lack of well-designed randomized trials assessing therapeutic strategies in such patients. The almost uniform exclusion of patients with CKD from randomized studies evaluating new targeted therapies for ACS, coupled with concerns about further deterioration of renal function and therapy-related toxic effects, may explain the less frequent use of proven medical therapies in this subgroup of high-risk patients. However, these patients potentially have much to gain from conventional revascularization strategies used in the general population. The objective of this review is to summarize the current evidence regarding the epidemiology and the clinical and prognostic relevance of CKD in ACS patients, in particular with respect to unresolved issues and uncertainties regarding recommended medical therapies and coronary revascularization strategies. | Giancarlo Marenzi Angelo Cabiati Emilio Assanelli | 2012 | World Journal of Nephrology2012,1,5: | 10 |
| 16 | Hepatobiliary manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: The gut,the drugs and the liver显示文摘Abnormal liver biochemical tests are present in up to30%of patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),and therefore become a diagnostic challenge.Liver and biliary tract diseases are common extraintestinal manifestations for both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis(UC),and typically do not correlate with intestinal activity.Primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC)is the most common hepatobiliary manifestation of IBD,and is more prevalent in UC.Approximately 5%of patients with UC develop PSC,with the prevalence reaching up to 90%.Cholangiocarcinoma and colon cancer risks are increased in these patients.Less common disorders include autoimmune hepatitis/PSC overlap syndrome,IgG4-associated cholangiopathy,primary biliary cirrhosis,hepatic amyloidosis,granulomatous hepatitis,cholelithiasis,portal vein thrombosis,liver abscess,and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Hepatitis B reactivation during immunosuppressive therapy is a major concern,with screening and vaccination being recommended in serologically negative cases for patients with IBD.Reactivation prophylaxis with entecavir or tenofovir for 6to 12 mo after the end of immunosuppressive therapy is mandatory in patients showing as hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)positive,independently from viral load.HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive patients,with or without anti-HBs,should be closely monitored,measuring alanine aminotransferase and hepatitis B virus DNA within 12 mo after the end of therapy,and should be treated if the viral load increases.On the other hand,immunosuppressive therapy does not seem to promote reactivation of hepatitis C,and hepatitis C antiviral treatment does not influence IBD natural history either.Most of the drugs used for IBD treatment may induce hepatotoxicity,although the incidence of serious adverse events is low.Abnormalities in liver biochemical tests associated with aminosalicylates are uncommon and are usually not clinically relevant.Methotrexaterelated hepatotoxicity has been described in 14%of patients with IBD,in a dose-dependent manner.Liver biopsy is not routinely recommended.Biologics-related hepatotoxicity is rare,but has been shown most frequently in patients treated with infliximab.Thiopurines have been associated with veno-occlusive disease,regenerative nodular hyperplasia,and liver peliosis.Routine liver biochemical tests are recommended,especially during the first month of treatment.All these conditions should be considered in IBD patients with clinical or biochemical features suggestive of hepatobiliary involvement.Diagnosis and management of these disorders usually involve hepatologists and gastroenterologists due to its complexity. | María Rojas-Feria Manuel Castro Emilio Suárez Javier Ampuero Manuel Romero-Gómez | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,42: | 9 |
| 17 | Plasma betatrophin levels in patients with liver cirrhosis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the plasma levels of betatrophin in patients with cirrhosis.METHODS: Forty patients diagnosed at the clinic with liver cirrhosis according to biological, ultrasonographic,or histological criteria were included.The severity of cirrhosis was classified according to Pugh's modification of Child's classification and MELD score. Insulin resistance(IR) was assessed by the Homeostasis Model Assessment. A total of 20 patients showed a MELD score higher than 14. The control group consisted in 15 sex-and aged-matched subjects.Fasting blood samples were obtained for subsequent analysis. Serum insulin was determined by Liaison automated immune chemiluminiscence assay(DiaSorin S.p.A.) using a sandwich assay. The sensitivity of the assay was 0.2 μU/mL. The intra and interassay variation coefficients were < 4% and < 10%,respectively. The normal values were between 2 and17 μU/mL. Human active betatrophin was analyzed by specific quantitative sandwich ELISA(Aviscera Bioscience). The sensitivity of the assay was 0.4 ng/mL, and the intra and interassay reproducibility were< 6% and < 10%, respectively.RESULTS: Plasma betatrophin levels were significantly increased in patients with cirrhosis compared with those in healthy subjects(P = 0.0001). Betatrophin levels were also associated with disease severity, being higher in Child-Pugh C patients compared to Child-Pugh B(P< 0.0005) and in patients who displayed a MELD score higher than 14 points compared to patients with lower punctuation(P = 0.01). In addition, we found a positive correlation between plasma betatrophin levels and the severity of cirrhosis according to Child-Pugh classification(r = 0.53; P < 0.01) or MELD score(r = 0.45; P <0.01). In the overall cohort, a moderate correlation between serum betatrophin and plasmatic bilirrubin(r= 0.39; P < 0.01) has been observed, as well as an inverse correlation between betatrophin and albumin(r =-0.41; P < 0.01) or prothrombin time(r =-0.44;P <0.01). Moreover, insulin resistance was observed in82.5% of the cirrhotic patients. In this group of patients,betatrophin levels were significantly higher than those in the group of patients without IR(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Plasma betatrophin is increased in patients with cirrhosis. This increase is related to the severity of cirrhosis, as well as with the emergence of insulin resistance. | Maria Teresa Arias-Loste Maria Teresa García-Unzueta Susana Llerena Paula Iruzubieta Angela Puente Joaquín Cabezas Carmen Alonso Antonio Cuadrado José Antonio Amado Javier Crespo Emilio Fábrega | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,37: | 9 |
| 18 | Diagnosis and treatment of pancreas divisum: A literature review显示文摘Background:Pancreas divisum is a congenital embryological disease caused by a lack of fusion between the ventral and dorsal pancreatic ducts in the early stages of embryogenesis.Recurrent acute pancreatitis,chronic pancreatitis or chronic abdominal pain are the main clinical syndromes at presentation and occur in only 5%of the patients with pancreas divisum.This review aimed to discuss diagnosis and treatment strategies in patients with symptomatic pancreas divisum.Data sources:We report a literature review from 1990 up to January 2018 to explore the various diagnostic modalities and surgical techniques and results reported in the surgical treatment of pancreas divisum.Results:There are limited reports available on this topic in the literature.We analyzed and described the main indications in the treatment of pancreas divisum,focusing on surgical treatment and a discussion of the different approaches.Furthermore,we report the results from our experience in two cases of pancreas divisum treated by pancreatic head resection with segmental duodenectomy(the Nakao procedure).Conclusions:Pancreas divisum is a common pancreatic malformation in which only a few patients develop a symptomatic disease.Surgical treatment is needed in case of endoscopic drainage failure and in cases complicated with chronic pancreatitis and local complications.Many techniques,of greater or lesser complexity,have been proposed. | Valentina Ferri Emilio Vicente Yolanda Quijano Benedetto Ielpo Hipolito Duran Eduardo Diaz Isabel Fabra Riccardo Caruso | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,4: | 9 |
| 19 | Intraocular inflammation after Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty for the treatment of glaucoma显示文摘This is a prospective interventional clinical study evaluating intraocular inflammation developed after Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty(UCP) for the treatment of glaucoma. Eighteen eyes of 18 patients were treated with UCP second-generation probes(Eye OP1). After treatment, the mean intraocular pressure(IOP) significantly decreased from 26.8±7.2 to 18.8±6.1 mm Hg at day 1 and to 14.7±3.4 mm Hg at month 6(all P<0.001). Mean laser flare-cell photometry value steeply increased after surgery from 12.1±7.5 to 64.1±53.9 ph/ms(P=0.001) at day 1, and then progressively decreased to respectively 60.6±49.7 at day 7, 43.5±38.5 at day 14 and 28.2±18.3 at month 1(all P<0.05), returning at levels similar to baseline ones at month 3 and month 6(respectively 16.7±6.2 and 12.8±10.2, both P>0.05). A significant negative correlation was found between postoperative increase of aqueous flare values and anterior chamber depth(R=-0.568, P=0.014). This timeframe may be considered reasonable for repeating UCP treatment, when required. | Marco Pellegrini Stefano Sebastiani Giuseppe Giannaccare Emilio C.Campos | 2019 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2019,12,2: | 8 |
| 20 | Percutaneous ablation of pancreatic cancer显示文摘Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor with an overall 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. Prognosis and treatment depend on whether the tumor is resectable or not, which mostly depends on how quickly the diagnosis is made. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be both used in cases of nonresectable pancreatic cancer. In cases of pancreatic neoplasm that is locally advanced, non-resectable, but non-metastatic, it is possible to apply percutaneous treatments that are able to induce tumor cytoreduction. The aim of this article will be to describe the multiple currently available treatment techniques(radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, cryoablation, and irreversible electroporation), their results, and their possible complications, with the aid of a literature review. | Mirko D'Onofrio Valentina Ciaravino Riccardo De Robertis Emilio Barbi Roberto Salvia Roberto Girelli Salvatore Paiella Camilla Gasparini Nicolò Cardobi Claudio Bassi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,44: | 7 |
