| 2 | Systemic inflammation and immune response after laparotomy vs laparoscopy in patients with acute cholecystitis, complicated by peritonitis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate acute cholecystitis, complicated by peritonitis, acute phase response and immunological status in patients treated by laparoscopic or open approach. METHODS: From January 2002 to May 2012, we conducted a prospective randomized study on 45 consecutive patients (27 women, 18 men; mean age 58 years). These subjects were taken from a total of 681 patients who were hospitalised presenting similar preoperative findings: acute upper abdominal pain with tenderness, involuntary guarding under the right hypochondrium and/or in the flank; fever higher than 38 ℃, leukocytosis greater than 10 × 10 9 /L or both, and ultrasonographic evidence of calculous cholecystitis possibly complicated by peritonitis. These patients had undergone cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis,complicated by bile peritonitis. Randomly, 23 patients were assigned to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), and 22 patients to open cholecystectomy (OC). Blood samples were collected from all patients before operation and at days 1, 3 and 6 after surgery. Serum bacteraemia, endotoxaemia, white blood cells (WBCs), WBC subpopulations, human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), neutrophil elastase, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min, at 4, 6, 12, 24 h, and then daily (8 A.M.) until post-operative day 6.RESULTS: The two groups were comparable in the severity of peritoneal contamination as indicated by the viable bacterial count (open group = 90% of positive cultures vs laparoscopic group = 87%) and endotoxin level (open group = 33.21 ± 6.32 pg/mL vs laparoscopic group = 35.02 ± 7.23 pg/mL). Four subjects in the OC group (18.1%) and 1 subject (4.3%) in the LC group (P < 0.05) developed intra-abdominal abscess. Severe leukocytosis (range 15.8-19.6/mL) was observed only after OC but not after LC, mostly due to an increase in neutrophils (days 1 and 3, P < 0.05). This value returned to the normal range within 3-4 d after LC and 5-7 d after OC. Other WBC types and lymphocyte subpopulations showed no significant variation. On the first day after surgery, a statistically significant difference was observed in HLA-DR expression between LC (13.0 ± 5.2) and OC (6.0 ± 4.2) (P < 0.05). A statistically significant change in plasma elastase concentration was recorded post-operatively at days 1, 3, and 6 in patients from the OC group when compared to the LC group (P < 0.05). In the OC group, the serum levels of IL-1 and IL-6 began to increase considerably from the first to the sixth hour after surgery. In the LC group, the increase of serum IL-1 and IL-6 levels was delayed and the peak values were notably lower than those in the OC group. Significant differences between the groups, for these two cytokines, were observed from the second to the twenty-fourth hour (P < 0.05) after surgery. The mean values of serum CRP in the LC group on post-operative days (1 and 3) were also lower than those in the OC group (P < 0.05). Systemic concentration of endotoxin was higher in the OC group at all intra-operative sampling times, but reached significance only when the gallbladder was removed (OC group = 36.81 ± 6.4 ρg/mLvs LC group = 16.74 ± 4.1 ρg/mL, P < 0.05). One hour after surgery, microbiological analysis of blood cultures detected 7 different bacterial species after laparotomy, and 4 species after laparoscopy (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: OC increased the incidence of bacteraemia, endotoxaemia and systemic inflammation compared with LC and caused lower transient immunological defense, leading to enhanced sepsis in the patients examined. | Federico Sista Mario Schietroma Giuseppe De Santis Antonella Mattei Emanuela Marina Cecilia Federica Piccione Sergio Leardi Francesco Carlei Gianfranco Amicucci | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2013,5,4: | 23 |

| 4 | Immune response in COVID-19:addressing a pharmacological challenge by targeting pathways triggered by SARS-CoV-2显示文摘To date,no vaccines or effective drugs have been approved to prevent or treat COVID-19 and the current standard care relies on supportive treatments.Therefore,based on the fast and global spread of the virus,urgent investigations are warranted in order to develop preventive and therapeutic drugs.In this regard,treatments addressing the immunopathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection have become a major focus.Notably,while a rapid and well-coordinated immune response represents the first line of defense against viral infection,excessive inflammatory innate response and impaired adaptive host immune defense may lead to tissue damage both at the site of virus entry and at systemic level.Several studies highlight relevant changes occurring both in innate and adaptive immune system in COVID-19 patients.In particular,the massive cytokine and chemokine release,the so-called“cytokine storm”,clearly reflects a widespread uncontrolled dysregulation of the host immune defense.Although the prospective of counteracting cytokine storm is compelling,a major limitation relies on the limited understanding of the immune signaling pathways triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection.The identification of signaling pathways altered during viral infections may help to unravel the most relevant molecular cascades implicated in biological processes mediating viral infections and to unveil key molecular players that may be targeted.Thus,given the key role of the immune system in COVID-19,a deeper understanding of the mechanism behind the immune dysregulation might give us clues for the clinical management of the severe cases and for preventing the transition from mild to severe stages. | Michele Catanzaro Francesca Fagiani Marco Racchi Emanuela Corsini Stefano Govoni Cristina Lanni | 2020 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2020,5,1: | 11 |

| 8 | Focus on acute diarrhoeal disease显示文摘Diarrhoea is an alteration of normal bowel movement characterized by an increase in the water content, volume, or frequency of stools. Diarrhoea needs to be classif ied according to the trends over time (acute or chronic) and to the characteristics of the stools (watery, fatty, inflammatory). Secretory diarrhoeas, mostly acute and of viral aetiology in more than 70% of cases, are by far the most important subtype of diarrhoeas in terms of frequency, incidence and mortality (over 2.5 million deaths/year in developing countries). Natural and synthetic opiates such as morphine, codeine, and loperamide which react with endogenous opiates (enkephalins, beta-endorphins, dynorphins) mainly act on intestinal motility and slow down transit. An antidiarrhoeal drug developed in recent years, racecadotril, acts as an enkephalinase inhibitor. Clinical studies have shown that it is just as effective as loperamide in resolving acute diarrhoea but with greater reduction in pain and abdominal distension. Some studies have explored the prevalence of diarrhoea in old age. An epidemiological study carried out in Italy by 133 General Practitioners on 5515 elderly outpatients reported a prevalence of diarrhoea, def ined according to the Rome criteria, of 9.1%. Infectious diseases (19%) and drug use (16%) were the most common causes of diarrhoea in old age. Regardless of the cause, the treatment of elderly patients with diarrhoea must include rehydration and nutritional support. Every year, more than 50 million tourists travel from industrialized countries to places where hygiene levels are poor. At least 75% of those travelling for short periods mention health problems, and in particular traveller's diarrhoea. | Fabio Baldi Maria Antonia Bianco Gerardo Nardone Alberto Pilotto Emanuela Zamparo | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,27: | 6 |
| 9 | Right ventricular septal pacing: Safety and efficacy in a long term follow up显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the permanent high interventricular septal pacing in a long term follow up, as alternative to right ventricular apical pacing. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated:(1) 244 patients(74 ± 8 years; 169 men, 75 women) implanted with a single(132 pts) or dual chamber(112 pts) pacemaker(PM) with ventricular screw-in lead placed at the right ventricular high septal parahisian site(SEPTAL pacing);(2) 22 patients with permanent pacemaker and low percentage of pacing(< 20%)(NO pacing);(3) 33 patients with high percentage(> 80%) right ventricular apical pacing(RVA). All patients had a narrow spontaneous QRS(101 ± 14 ms). We evaluated New York Heart Association(NYHA) class, quality of life(Qo L), 6 min walking test(6MWT) and left ventricular function(end-diastolic volume, LV-EDV; end-systolic volume, LVESV; ejection fraction, LV-EF) with 2D-echocardiography. RESULTS: Pacing parameters were stable duringfollow up(21 mo/patient). In SEPTAL pacing group we observed an improvement in NYHA class, Qo L score and 6MWT. While LV-EDV didn't significantly increase(104 ± 40 m L vs 100 ± 37 m L; P = 0.35), LV-ESV slightly increased(55 ± 31 m L vs 49 ± 27 m L; P = 0.05) and LV-EF slightly decreased(49% ± 11% vs 53% ± 11%; P = 0.001) but never falling < 45%. In the RVA pacing control group we observed a worsening of NYHA class and an important reduction of LV-EF(from 56% ± 6% to 43% ± 9%, P < 0.0001).CONCLUSION: Right ventricular permanent high septal pacing is safe and effective in a long term follow up evaluation; it could be a good alternative to the conventional RVA pacing in order to avoid its deleterious effects. | Eraldo Occhetta Gianluca Quirino Lara Baduena Rosaria Nappo Chiara Cavallino Emanuela Facchini Paolo Pistelli Andrea Magnani Miriam Bortnik Gabriella Francalacci Gabriele Dell’Era Laura Plebani Paolo Marino | 2015 | World Journal of Cardiology2015,7,8: | 5 |
| 10 | Rectal hepatoid carcinoma with liver metastases in a patient affected by ulcerative colitis显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hepatoid tumors(HTs)are rare extra-hepatic neoplasms with the histological features, biochemical profile and,sometimes,even clinical course of hepatocellular carcinoma.We present a case of rectal hepatoid adenocarcinoma with metachronous liver metastases. METHODS:Four months after total procto-colectomy for a rectal adenocarcinoma(Astler-Coller C2),a 42-year-old man with ulcerative colitis showed hypoechoic masses in the hepatic parenchyma by abdominal ultrasonography. Carcinoembryonic antigen was normal,but alpha- fetoprotein was 32 000μg/L.Fine-needle biopsy revealed that liver masses were positive for hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient underwent left hepatectomy and alcoholisation of a small deep nodule in segment 8. RESULTS:Immunohistochemistry and albumin mRNA in situ hybridization suggested that the nodules were metastases of a HT.The patient was well during the first 6 months and refused any adjuvant chemotherapy.He died from liver failure 19 months after initial diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS:HT is a rare colon cancer.The preoperative diagnosis of this tumor requires a high degree of suspicion,the availability of a panel of immunohistochemical markers,and a certain amount of luck.The prognosis is poor despite an aggressive andmultimodal therapeutic strategy.So far,none of the hypotheses proposed about the origin and the biology of these tumors is convincing. | Giacomo Borgonovo Francesco Razzetta Michela Assalino Emanuela Varaldo Maria Puglisi Paola Ceppa | 2008 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2008,7,5: | 5 |
| 11 | Constipation,deficit in colon contractions and alpha-synuclein inclusions within the colon precede motor abnormalities and neurodegeneration in the central nervous system in a mouse model of alphasynucleinopathy显示文摘Background:Gastrointestinal dysfunction can affect Parkinson’s disease(PD)patients long before the onset of motor symptoms.However,little is known about the relationship between gastrointestinal abnormalities and the development of PD.Contrary to other animal models,the human A53T alpha-synuclein(αS)transgenic mice,Line G2–3,developsαS-driven neurological and motor impairments after 9 months of age,displaying a long presymptomatic phase free of central nervous system(CNS)dysfunction.Methods:To determine whether this line can be suitable to study constipation as it occurs in prodromal PD,gastrointestinal functionality was assessed in young mice through a multidisciplinary approach,based on behavioral and biochemical analysis combined with electrophysiological recordings of mouse intestinal preparations.Results:We found that the A53TαS mice display remarkable signs of gastrointestinal dysfunction that precede motor abnormalities andαS pathology in the CNS by at least 6 months.YoungαS mice show a drastic delay in food transit along the gastrointestinal tract,of almost 2 h in 3 months old mice that increased to more than 3 h at 6 months.Such impairment was associated with abnormal formation of stools that resulted in less abundant but longer pellets excreted,suggesting a deficit in the intestinal peristalsis.In agreement with this,electrically evoked contractions of the colon,but not of the ileum,showed a reduced motor response in both longitudinal and circular muscle layers inαS mice already at 3 months of age,that was mainly due to an impaired cholinergic transmission of the underlying enteric nervous system.Interestingly,the presence of insoluble and aggregatedαS was found in enteric neurons in both myenteric and submucosal plexi only in the colon of 3 months oldαS mice,but not in the small intestine,and exacerbated with age,mimicking the increase in transit delay and the contraction deficit showed by behavioral and electrical recordings data.Conclusions:Gastrointestinal dysfunction in A53TαS mice represents an early sign ofαS-driven pathology without concomitant CNS involvement.We believe that this model can be very useful to study disease-modifying strategies that could extend the prodromal phase of PD and haltαS pathology from reaching the brain. | Lucia Rota Carolina Pellegrini Laura Benvenuti Luca Antonioli Matteo Fornai Corrado Blandizzi Antonino Cattaneo Emanuela Colla | 2019 | Translational Neurodegeneration2019,8,1: | 5 |
| 12 | Prognostic and predictive biomarkers in metastatic colorectal cancer anti-EGFR therapy显示文摘AIM: To reviewing genetic and epigenetic make-up of metastatic colorectal cancers(m CRCs) addicted to epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) signalling.METHODS: The present study summarizes the potential value of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in selecting m CRC patients treated with anti-EGFR therapy. A meta-analysis was performed using a systematic search of Pub Med, Medline and Web of Science to identify eligible papers until March 21 st, 2016 using these following terms: ‘‘colorectal cancer'', 'predictive biomarkers' ', 'anti-EGFR therapy', 'KRAS', 'NRAS'', 'PIK3CA', 'TP53', 'PTEN', ‘‘EGFR', 'MET', 'HER2', 'epiregulin', 'amphiregulin', 'prognostic biomarkers', 'BRAF', 'miR NA' and 'antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(ADCC) activity'. Two investigators independently evaluated and extracted data from each identified studies based on selected criteria of inclusion and exclusion. RESULTS: The introduction of agents targeting EGFR such as cetuximab and panitumumab increased overall survival of mC RCs. Nevertheless, it has firstly became evident that response rates to cetuximab regimens in unselected patient populations were typically lower than 30%. Clinical data confirmed the predictive value of RAS mutations for resistance to cetuximab and panitumumab leading to the license of these monoclonal antibodies exclusively for the management of patients with RAS-wild type colorectal cancers. So far the identification of predictive biomarkers have generated interesting, though preliminary and, at times, conflicting data on the importance of tumour mR NA levels of EGFR ligands, of activating mutations in other genes such as NRAS and PIK3 CA. The prognostic value of selected micro RNAs level and ADCC activity is under investigation, while the prognostic impact of BRAF status remains controversial.CONCLUSION: This review focuses on the personalized treatment of m CRC and discusses the potential of new prognostic and predictive biomarkers in selecting patients treated with anti-EGFR therapy. | Cristiana Lo Nigro Vincenzo Ricci Daniela Vivenza Cristina Granetto Teresa Fabozzi Emanuela Miraglio Marco C Merlano | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,30: | 5 |
| 13 | Large regenerative nodules in a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome after TIPS positioning while on the liver transplantation list diagnosed by Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI显示文摘BACKGROUND:Large regenerative nodules (LRNs) are hyperplastic benign nodules most commonly associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS),caused by outflow obstruction of the hepatic veins or vena cava.To our knowledge,no cases of LRNs arising in BCS after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) positioning and detected by GdEOB-DTPA MRI have been reported in the literature.METHODS:A 58-year-old woman with BCS,on the liver transplantation (LT) list,underwent a follow-up enhanced MRI.Two years earlier,a TIPS had been placed.In 2008,recurrent hepaticoencephalopathy resistant to medical treatment fulfilled the LT criteria for BCS treated with TIPS and the patient was therefore added to the LT list.CT performed before TIPS had not detected any hepatic lesions.CT performed six months after TIPS showed its complete patency but documented two indeterminate hypervascular liver lesions.RESULTS:MRI performed with Gd-EOB-DTPA revealed additional hypervascular lesions with uptake and retention of the medium in the hepatobiliary phase,thus reflecting a benign behavior of hepatocellular composition.These MRI features were related to LRNs as confirmed by histopathologic analysis.CONCLUSIONS:Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI is potentially superior to standard imaging using gadolinium chelates or spiral CT,especially for the differential diagnosis of hypervascular lesions.Gd-EOB-DTPA MRI may become the imaging method of choice for evaluating LT list patients with BCS after TIPS placement. | Matteo Renzulli Vincenzo Lucidi Cristina Mosconi Chiara Quarneti Emanuela Giampalma Rita Golfieri | 2011 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2011,10,4: | 5 |
| 14 | Low efficacy of levofloxacin-doxycycline-based third-line triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication in Italy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate a levofloxacin-doxycycline-based triple therapy with or without a susceptibility culture test in non-responders to Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) eradication.METHODS:A total of 142(99 women,43 men; mean 53.0 ± 12.7 years) non-responders to more than two H.pylori eradication therapies underwent susceptibility culture tests or were treated with a seven-day triple therapy consisting of esomeprazole,20 mg b.i.d.,levofloxacin,500 mg b.i.d.,and doxycycline,100 mg b.i.d.,randomly associated with(n = 71) or without(n = 71) Lactobacillus casei DG.H.pylori status was checked in all patients at enrollment and at least 8 wk after the end of therapy.Compliance and tolerability of regimens were also assessed.RESULTS:H.pylori eradication was achieved in < 50% of patients [per prototol(PP) = 49%; intention to treat(ITT) = 46%].Eradication rate was higher in patients administered probiotics than in those without(PP = 55% vs 43%; ITT = 54% vs 40%).Estimated primary resistance to levofloxacin was 18% and multiple resistance was 31%.Therapy was well tolerated,and side effects were generally mild,with only one patient experiencing severe effects.CONCLUSION:Third-line levofloxacin-doxycycline triple therapy had a low H.pylori eradication efficacy,though the success and tolerability of this treatment may be enhanced with probiotics. | Omero Alessandro Paoluzi Giovanna Del Vecchio Blanco Emanuela Visconti Manuela Coppola Carla Fontana Marco Favaro Francesco Pallone | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,21: | 5 |
| 15 | Left ventricular false tendons and electrocardiogram repolarization abnormalities in healthy young subjects显示文摘AIM To describe echocardiographically left ventricular false tendon characteristics and the correlation with ventricular repolarization abnormalities in young athletes.METHODS Three hundred and sixteen healthy young athletes from different sport disciplines were evaluated from 2009 to 2011 during routine screening for agonistic sports eligibility. All subjects, as part of standard preparticipation screening medical evaluation, underwent a basal and post step test 12-lead electrocardiogram(ECG). The athletes with abnormal T-wave flattening and/or inversion were considered for an echocardiogram evaluation and an incremental maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer. Arterial blood pressure and heart rate, during and after exercise, were also measured.RESULTS Twenty-one of the 316 subjects(6.9%) showed false tendons in the left ventricle. The majority of false tendons(52.38%) were localized between the middle segments of the inferior septum and the lateral wall, 19.06% between the distal segments of the septum and the lateral wall, in 5 subjects between the middle segments of the anterior and inferior walls, and in one subject between the middle segments of the anterior septum and the posterior wall. ECG abnormalities, represented by alterations of ventricular repolarization, were found in 11 subjects(52.38%), 90% of these anomalies were T wave abnormalities from V1 to V3. These anomalies disappeared with an increasing heart rate following the three minute step test as well as during the execution of the maximal exercise.CONCLUSION Left ventricular false tendons are frequently localized between the middle segments of the inferior septum and the lateral wall and are statistically associated with ventricular repolarization abnormalities. | Zlatan Lazarevic Emanuela Ciminelli Federico Quaranta Fabio Sperandii Emanuele Guerra Fabio Pigozzi Paolo Borrione | 2016 | World Journal of Cardiology2016,8,10: | 4 |

| 17 | Clinical implications of diabetes in chronic liver disease:Diagnosis,outcomes and management,current and future perspectives显示文摘Diabetes mellitus(DM)is common in liver cirrhosis(LC).The pathophysiological association is bidirectional.DM is a risk factor of LC and LC is a diabetogenic condition.In the recent years,research on different aspects of the association DM and LC has been intensified.Nevertheless,it has been insufficient and still exist many gaps.The aims of this review are:(1)To discuss the latest understandings of the association of DM and LC in order to identify the strategies of early diagnosis;(2)To evaluate the impact of DM on outcomes of LC patients;and(3)To select the most adequate management benefiting the two conditions.Literature searches were conducted using Pub Med,Ovid and Scopus engines for DM and LC,diagnosis,outcomes and management.The authors also provided insight from their own published experience.Based on the published studies,two types of DM associated with LC have emerged:Type 2 DM(T2 DM)and hepatogenous diabetes(HD).High-quality evidences have determined that T2 DM or HD significantly increase complications and death pre and post-liver transplantation.HD has been poorly studied and has not been recognized as a complication of LC.The management of DM in LC patients continues to be difficult and should be based on drug pharmacokinetics and the degree of liver failure.In conclusion,the clinical impact of DM in outcomes of LC patients has been the most studied item recently.Nevertheless many gaps still exist particularly in the management.These most important gaps were highlighted in order to propose future lines for research. | Diego García-Compeán Emanuela Orsi Ramesh Kumar Felix Gundling Tsutomu Nishida Jesús Zacarías Villarreal-Pérez Ángel N Del Cueto-Aguilera JoséA González-González Giuseppe Pugliese | 2022 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2022,28,8: | 4 |
| 18 | Subcellular localization of alpha-synuclein aggregates and their interaction with membranes显示文摘For more than a decade numerous evidence has been reported on the mechanisms of toxicity of α-synuclein(αS) oligomers and aggregates in α-synucleinopathies.These species were thought to form freely in the cytoplasm but recent reports of αS multimer conformations when bound to synaptic vesicles in physiological conditions,have raised the question about where αS aggregation initiates.In this review we focus on recent literature regarding the impact on membrane binding and subcellular localization of αS toxic species to understand how regular cellular function of αS contributes to pathology.Notably αS has been reported to mainly associate with specific membranes in neurons such as those of synaptic vesicles,ER/Golgi and the mitochondria,while toxic species of αS have been shown to inhibit,among others,neurotransmission,protein trafficking and mitochondrial function.Strategies interfering with αS membrane binding have shown to improve αS-driven toxicity in worms and in mice.Thus,a selective membrane binding that would result in a specific subcellular localization could be the key to understand how aggregation and pathology evolves,pointing out to αS functions that are primarily affected before onset of irreversible damage. | Fabiana Miraglia Alessio Ricci Lucia Rota Emanuela Colla | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,7: | 4 |
| 19 | TM6SF2 E167K variant predicts severe liver fibrosis for human immunodeficiency/hepatitis C virus co-infected patients, and severe steatosis only for a non-3 hepatitis C virus genotype显示文摘AIM To evaluate the impact of the Glu167Lys(E167K) transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2(TM6SF2) variant on the biochemical and morphologic expression of liver lesions in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)/hepatitis C virus(HCV) co-infected patients.METHODS The study comprised 167 consecutive patients with HIV/HCV coinfection and biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis. A pathologist graded liver fibrosis and necroinflammation using the Ishak scoring system, and steatosis using Kleiner's scoring system. Patients were genotyped for TM6SF2 E167K(rs58542926) by real-time Polymerase chain reaction. The 167 patients, 35 therapy-naive and 132 receiving ART, were prevalently males(73.6%), the median age was 40.7 years and the immunological condition good(median CD4+ cells/mm3 = 505.5).RESULTS The 17 patients with the TM6SF2 E167 K variant, compared with the 150 with TM6SF2-E/E, showed higher AST(P = 0.02) and alanine aminotransferase(P = 0.02) and higher fibrosis score(3.1 ± 2.0 vs 2.3 ± 1.5, P = 0.05). In a multivariate analysis, TM6SF2 E167 K was independently associated with severe fibrosis. The same analysis showed that HCV-genotype 3, present in 42.2% of patients was an independent predictor of severe steatosis. The association of TM6SF2 E167 K with severe steatosis, absent for the whole group of 167 patients, was re-evaluated separately for HCVgenotype 3 and non-3 patients: No factor was independently associated with severe steatosis in the HCV-genotype-3 subgroup, whereas an independent association was observed between severe steatosis and TM6SF2 E167 K in non-3 HCV genotypes. No association between the TM6SF2 E167 K variant and severe liver necroinflammation was observed.CONCLUSION In HIV/HCV coinfection the TM6SF2 E167 K variant is an independent predictor of severe fibrosis, but appears to be independently associated with severe steatosis only for patients with a non-3 HCV genotype. | Caterina Sagnelli Marco Merli Caterina Uberti-Foppa Hamid Hasson Anna Grandone Grazia Cirillo Stefania Salpietro Carmine Minichini Mario Starace Emanuela Messina Patrizia Morelli Emanuele Miraglia Del Giudice Adriano Lazzarin Nicola Coppola Evangelista Sagnelli | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,38: | 4 |
| 20 | DNA end binding activity and Ku70/80 heterodimer expression in human colorectal tumor显示文摘AIM: To determine the DNA binding activity and protein levels of the Ku70/80 heterodimer, the functional mediator of the NHEJ activity, in human colorectal carcinogenesis.METHODS: The Ku70/80 DNA-binding activity was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assays in 20 colon adenoma and 15 colorectal cancer samples as well as matched normal colonic tissues. Nuclear and cytoplasmic protein expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis.RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was found in both adenomas and carcinomas as compared to matched normal colonic mucosa (P<0.00). However,changes in binding activity were not homogenous with approximately 50% of the tumors showing a clear increase in the binding activity, 30% displaying a modest increase and 15% showing a decrease of the activity.Tumors, with increased DNA-binding activity, also showed a statistically significant increase in Ku70 and Ku86nuclear expression, as determined by Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses (P<0.001). Cytoplasmic protein expression was found in pathological samples,but not in normal tissues either from tumor patients or from healthy subjects.CONCLUSION: Overall, our DNA-binding activity and protein level are consistent with a substantial activation of the NHEJ pathway in colorectal tumors. Since the NHEJ is an error prone mechanism, its abnormal activation can result in chromosomal instability and ultimately lead to tumorigenesis. | Paola Mazzarelli Paola Parrella Davide Seripa Emanuela Signori Giuseppe Perrone Carla Rabitti Domenico Borzomati Armando Gabbrielli Maria Giovanna Matera Carolina Gravina Marco Caricato Maria Luana Poeta Monica Rinaldi Sergio Valeri Roberto Coppola Vito Michele Fazio | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,42: | 4 |
