| 1 | Pathogenesis and clinical management of Helicobacter pylori gastric infection显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is a gram-negative bacterium that infects approximately 4.4 billion individuals worldwide.However,its prevalence varies among different geographic areas,and is influenced by several factors.The infection can be acquired by means of oral-oral or fecal-oral transmission,and the pathogen possesses various mechanisms that improve its capacity of mobility,adherence and manipulation of the gastric microenvironment,making possible the colonization of an organ with a highly acidic lumen.In addition,H.pylori presents a large variety of virulence factors that improve its pathogenicity,of which we highlight cytotoxin associated antigen A,vacuolating cytotoxin,duodenal ulcer promoting gene A protein,outer inflammatory protein and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase.The host immune system,mainly by means of a Th1-polarized response,also plays a crucial role in the infection course.Although most H.pylori-positive individuals remain asymptomatic,the infection predisposes the development of various clinical conditions as peptic ulcers,gastric adenocarcinomas and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas.Invasive and non-invasive diagnostic methods,each of them with their related advantages and limitations,have been applied in H.pylori detection.Moreover,bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapy is a major challenge in the treatment of this infection,and new therapy alternatives are being tested to improve H.pylori eradication.Last but not least,the development of effective vaccines against H.pylori infection have been the aim of several research studies. | Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Ant?nio Fran?a da Silva Aline Silva Soares Vinícius Afonso Pereira Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Mariana Miranda Sampaio Pedro Henrique Moreira Neves Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，37： | 84 |
| 2 | Helicobacter pylori infection: Beyond gastric manifestations显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is a bacterium that infects more than a half of world’s population.Although it is mainly related to the development of gastroduodenal diseases,several studies have shown that such infection may also influence the development and severity of various extragastric diseases.According to the current evidence,whereas this bacterium is a risk factor for some of these manifestations,it might play a protective role in other pathological conditions.In that context,when considered the gastrointestinal tract,H.pylori positivity have been related to Inflammatory Bowel Disease,Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease,Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,Hepatic Carcinoma,Cholelithiasis,and Cholecystitis.Moreover,lower serum levels of iron and vitamin B12 have been found in patients with H.pylori infection,leading to the emergence of anemias in a portion of them.With regards to neurological manifestations,a growing number of studies have associated that bacterium with multiple sclerosis,Alzheimer’s disease,Parkinson’s disease,and Guillain-Barrésyndrome.Interestingly,the risk of developing cardiovascular disorders,such as atherosclerosis,is also influenced by the infection.Besides that,the H.pylori-associated inflammation may also lead to increased insulin resistance,leading to a higher risk of diabetes mellitus among infected individuals.Finally,the occurrence of dermatological and ophthalmic disorders have also been related to that microorganism.In this sense,this minireview aims to gather the main studies associating H.pylori infection with extragastric conditions,and also to explore the main mechanisms that may explain the role of H.pylori in those diseases. | Maria Luisa Cordeiro Santos Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antonio França da Silva Mariana Miranda Sampaio Hanna Santos Marques Natalia Oliveira e Silva Dulciene Maria de Magalhaes Queiroz Fabricio Freire de Melo | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，28： | 34 |
| 3 | Role of polymorphisms in genes that encode cytokines and Helicobacter pylori virulence factors in gastric carcinogenesis显示文摘The Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection is a determinant factor in gastric cancer(GC) development. However, the infection outcomes are variable and depend on both host and bacterial characteristics. Some host cytokines such as interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-1 Ra, IL-8, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α play important roles in the host immune system response to the pathogen, in the development of gastric mucosal lesions and in cell malignant transformation. Therefore, these host factors are crucial in neoplastic processes. Certain polymorphisms in genes that encode these cytokines have been associated with an increased risk of GC. On the other hand, various virulence factors found in distinct H. pylori bacterial strains, including cytotoxinassociated antigen A, vacuolating cytotoxin, duodenal ulcer promoting gene A protein, outer inflammatory protein and blood group antigen binding adhesin, have been associated with the pathogenesis of different gastric diseases. The virulent factors mentioned above allow the successful infection by the bacterium and play crucial roles in gastric mucosa lesions, including malignant transformation. Moreover, the role of host polymorphisms and bacterial virulence factors in gastric carcinogenesis seems to vary among different countries and populations. The identification of host and bacterium factors that are associated with an increased risk of GC development may be useful in determining the prognosis of infection in patients, what could help in clinical decision-making and in providing of an optimized clinical approach. | Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Ant?nio Fran?a da Silva Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2018 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2018，9，5： | 9 |

| 5 | Relationship between Th17 immune response and cancer显示文摘Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and epidemiological projections predict growing cancer mortality rates in the next decades.Cancer has a close relationship with the immune system and,although Th17 cells are known to play roles in the immune response against microorganisms and in autoimmunity,studies have emphasized their roles in cancer pathogenesis.The Th17 immune response profile is involved in several types of cancer including urogenital,respiratory,gastrointestinal,and skin cancers.This type of immune response exerts pro and antitumor functions through several mechanisms,depending on the context of each tumor,including the protumor angiogenesis and exhaustion of T cells and the antitumor recruitment of T cells and neutrophils to the tumor microenvironment.Among other factors,the paradoxical behavior of Th17 cells in this setting has been attributed to its plasticity potential,which makes possible their conversion into other types of T cells such as Th17/Treg and Th17/Th1 cells.Interleukin(IL)-17 stands out among Th17-related cytokines since it modulates pathways and interacts with other cell profiles in the tumor microenvironment,which allow Th17 cells to prevail in tumors.Moreover,the IL-17 is able to mediate pro and antitumor processes that influence the development and progression of various cancers,being associated with variable clinical outcomes.The understanding of the relationship between the Th17 immune response and cancer as well as the singularities of carcinogenic processes in each type of tumor is crucial for the identification of new therapeutic targets. | Hanna Santos Marques Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antônio França da Silva Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Júlio César Braga de Souza Thiago Macêdo Lopes Correia Luana Weber Lopes Nayara Silva de Macêdo Neres Rafael Santos Dantas Miranda Dórea Anna Carolina Saúde Dantas Lorena Lôbo Brito Morbeck Iasmin Souza Lima Amanda Alves de Almeida Maiara Raulina de Jesus Dias Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2021，12，10： | 5 |
| 6 | Metabolic syndrome and colorectal neoplasms:An ominous association显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome(MS) and colorectal cancer and adenomas in a Western country,where the incidence of MS is over 27%.METHODS:This was a prospective study between March 2013 and March 2014.MS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education ProgramATP III.Demographic characteristics,anthropometric measurements,metabolic risk factors,and colonoscopic pathologic findings were assessed in patients with MS(group 1) who underwent routine colonoscopy at our department.This data was compared with consecutive patients without metabolic syndrome(group 2),with no differences regarding sex and age.Patients with incomplete colonoscopy,family history,or past history of colorectal neoplasm were excluded.Informed consent was obtained and the ethics committee approved this study.Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and χ2 test,with a P value ≤ 0.05 being considered statistically significant.RESULTS:Of 258 patients,129 had MS;51% males;mean-age 67.1 years(50-87).Among the MS group,94% had high blood pressure,91% had increased waist circumference,60% had diabetes,55% had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level,50% had increased triglyceride level,and 54% were obese [body mass index(BMI) 30 kg/m2].51% presented 4 criteria of MS.MS was associated with increased prevalence of adenomas(43% vs 25%,P = 0.004) and colorectal cancer(13% vs 5%,P = 0.027),compared with patients without MS.MS was also positively associated with multiple(≥ 3) adenomas(35% vs 9%,P = 0.024) and sessile adenomas(69% vs 53%,P = 0.05).No difference existed between location(P = 0.086),grade of dysplasia(P = 0.196),or size(P= 0.841) of adenomas.In addition,no difference was found between BMI(P = 0.078),smoking(P = 0.146),alcohol consumption(P = 0.231),and the presence of adenomas.CONCLUSION:MS is positively associated with adenomas and colorectal cancer.However,there is not enough information in western European countries to justify screening in patients with MS.To our knowledge,no previous study has evaluated this association in Portuguese patients. | Daniel Trabulo Suzane Ribeiro Cláudio Martins Cristina Teixeira Cláudia Cardoso Jo?o Mangualde Ricardo Freire élia Gamito Ana L Alves Fátima Augusto Ana P Oliveira Isabelle Cremers | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，17： | 5 |
| 7 | Flow regimes in wet conical spouted beds using glass bead mixtures显示文摘Using a high-viscosity Newtonian fluid,glycerol,an experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the stable spouting regime in conical spouted beds using four particle mixtures:a reference(monoparticles),a binary mixture,two ternary mixtures with flat and Gaussian distributions respectively.The mixtures were selected for particle diameters(dp) ranging from 1.09 to 4.98 mm and particle diameter ratios(dpL/dpS) ranging from 1.98 to 4.0.Experimental data show that pressure fluctuation signals of the bed,as indicated by changes in their standard deviations,provide suitable information to identify the range of operational conditions for stable spouting.However,the analysis of skewness of curves of pressure fluctuation as a function of air velocity appears not sufficient to identify a particular flow regime.For glycerol in the spouting regime,the standard deviation is noted to increase with increasing glycerol concentration due to the growth of interparticle forces.The implications of these research findings on the drying of suspensions in conical spouted beds using glass bead mixtures are also discussed. | Marcelo S.Bacelos Jos Teixeira Freire | 2008 | Particuology2008，6，2： | 5 |
| 8 | Evaluation of Physicochemical,Microbiological and Sensory Stability of Frozen Stored Vacuum-Packed Lamb Meat显示文摘Nowadays,lamb meat represents only 7%of all meat produced in the world.In recent years the demand for standardized lamb meat cuts has been considered of great importance and the marketing occurs predominantly in the form of frozen cuts.Herewith,the main of this work was to evaluate the stability and safety of lamb meat during frozen storage.Meats were vacuum packed in high barrier multilayer plastic films and stored during 12 mon at(-18±1)oC.The meat stability was assessed by physical and chemical(lipid oxidation,objective color,pH value,cooking losses and instrumental texture),microbiological(total count of psychrotrophic,coliform count at 45°C,coagulase-positive staphylococci and the presence of Salmonella)and sensory analysis(acceptance test and visual evaluation).The vacuum packed lamb meat remained stable as to most physical and chemical indexes.Microbiological indexes showed good stability throughout the storage period according to Brazilian legislation standards to pathogenic microorganisms.Although a significant reduction in tenderness(shear force increase from 3 to 8 kg),it showed a good sensorial acceptance for all attributes tested,including texture,with scores of around 7(like moderately)during the 12 mon of storage.Therefore,it can be concluded that,under the conditions applied in this study,lamb meat presents a shelf life of at least 12 mon when stored at-18°C. | Rafaella de Paula Paseto Fernandes Maria Teresa de Alvarenga Freire Celso da Costa Carrer Marco Antonio Trindade | 2013 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2013，12，11： | 4 |
| 9 | Nephrotoxicity in cancer treatment:An overview显示文摘Anticancer drug nephrotoxicity is an important and increasing adverse drug event that limits the efficacy of cancer treatment.The kidney is an important elimination pathway for many antineoplastic drugs and their metabolites,which occurs by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.Chemotherapeutic agents,both conventional cytotoxic agents and molecularly targeted agents,can affect any segment of the nephron including its microvasculature,leading to many clinical manifestations such as proteinuria,hypertension,electrolyte disturbances,glomerulopathy,acute and chronic interstitial nephritis,acute kidney injury and at times chronic kidney disease.The clinician should be alert to recognize several factors that may maximize renal dysfunction and contribute to the increased incidence of nephrotoxicity associated with these drugs,such as intravascular volume depletion,the associated use of nonchemotherapeutic nephrotoxic drugs(analgesics,antibiotics,proton pump inhibitors,and bonetargeted therapies),radiographic ionic contrast media or radiation therapy,urinary tract obstruction,and intrinsic renal disease.Identification of patients at higher risk for nephrotoxicity may allow the prevention or at least reduction in the development and severity of this adverse effect.Therefore,the aim of this brief review is to provide currently available evidences on oncologic drug-related nephrotoxicity. | Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antonio FranÇa da Silva Anelise Costa dos Santos Botelho Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2020，11，4： | 4 |
| 10 | Immunotherapy – new perspective in lung cancer显示文摘Lung carcinoma is associated with a high mortality worldwide,being the leading cause of cancer death.It is mainly classified into squamous non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),non-squamous NSCLC,and small cell lung cancer.However,such malignancy has been increasingly subdivided into histological and molecular subtypes to guide treatment.Therapies can be used in adjuvant and palliative settings.Regarding immunotherapy,it has been widely tested in both first or subsequent palliative lines.In this sense,drugs such as pembrolizumab,nivolumab,atezolizumab,ipilimumab,avelumab,and durvalumab have been assessed in large studies.Some of these trials have also studied these medicines in adjuvant and in maintenance therapy.In recent years,advances in immunotherapy have raised the hope that the unfavorable prognosis observed in several affected individuals can be changed.Immunotherapy has increased the overall survival in squamous NSCLC,non-squamous NSCLC,and small cell lung cancer.However,it has added to the oncology practice some side effects that are unusual in standard chemotherapy and require special clinical support.In order to show how immunotherapy is being applied in the treatment of lung carcinoma,we reviewed the main studies in adjuvant and palliative scenarios.What is the better scheme?What is the better combination?What is the better dose?When should we use immunotherapy?Does programmed cell death ligand 1 expression significantly interfere in immunotherapy efficiency?Some of these questions have already been answered,while others require more investigations. | Fillipe Dantas Pinheiro Adriano Fernandes Teixeira Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antonio Franca da Silva Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2020，11，5： | 3 |
| 11 | Chronic myeloid leukemia-from the Philadelphia chromosome to specific target drugs:A literature review显示文摘Chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)is a myeloproliferative neoplasm and was the first neoplastic disease associated with a well-defined genotypic anomaly―the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome.The advances in cytogenetic and molecular assays are of great importance to the diagnosis,prognosis,treatment,and monitoring of CML.The discovery of the breakpoint cluster region(BCR)-Abelson murine leukemia(ABL)1 fusion oncogene has revolutionized the treatment of CML patients by allowing the development of targeted drugs that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the BCR-ABL oncoprotein.Tyrosine kinase inhibitors(known as TKIs)are the standard therapy for CML and greatly increase the survival rates,despite adverse effects and the odds of residual disease after discontinuation of treatment.As therapeutic alternatives,the subsequent TKIs lead to faster and deeper molecular remissions;however,with the emergence of resistance to these drugs,immunotherapy appears as an alternative,which may have a cure potential in these patients.Against this background,this article aims at providing an overview on CML clinical management and a summary on the main targeted drugs available in that context. | Mariana Miranda Sampaio Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Hanna Santos Marques Vinícius Lima de Souza Gonçalves Glauber Rocha Lima Araújo Luana Weber Lopes Jonathan Santos Apolonio Camilo Santana Silva Luana Kauany de SáSantos Beatriz Rocha Cuzzuol Quézia Estéfani Silva Guimarães Mariana Novaes Santos Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antônio França da Silva Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Cláudio Lima Souza Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2021，12，2： | 3 |
| 12 | Enhanced data and methods for improving open and free global population grids:putting‘leaving noonebehind’into practice显示文摘Data on global population distribution are a strategic resource currently in high demand in an age of new Development Agendas that call for universal inclusiveness of people.However,quality,detail,and age of census data varies significantly by country and suffers from shortcomings that propagate to derived population grids and their applications.In this work,the improved capabilities of recent remote sensing-derived global settlement data to detect and mitigate major discrepancies with census data is explored.Open layers mapping builtup presence were used to revise census units deemed as‘unpopulated’and to harmonize population distribution along coastlines.Automated procedures to detect and mitigate these anomalies,while minimizing changes to census geometry,preserving the regional distribution of population,and the overall counts were developed,tested,and applied.The two procedures employed for the detection of deficiencies in global census data obtained high rates of true positives,after verification and validation.Results also show that the targeted anomalies were significantly mitigated and are encouraging for further uses of free and open geospatial data derived from remote sensing in complementing and improving conventional sources of fundamental population statistics. | Sergio Freire Marcello Schiavina Aneta J.Florczyk Kytt MacManus Martino Pesaresi Christina Corbane Olena Borkovska Jane Mills Linda Pistolesi John Squires Richard Sliuzas | 2020 | International Journal of Digital Earth2020，13，1： | 3 |
| 13 | Effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori eradication in the treatment of early-stage gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma:An up-to-date meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT)lymphoma(GML)is usually a low-grade B-cell neoplasia strongly associated with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)-induced chronic gastritis.Clinical practice guidelines currently recommend H.pylori eradication as the preferred initial treatment for early-stage GML.To determine the practical effect of bacterial eradication as the sole initial therapy for early-stage GML,an updated analysis and review of available evidence is imperative.AIM To perform a meta-analysis to assess the rate of complete remission(CR)of H.pylori-positive early-stage GML following bacterial eradication.METHODS We performed independent,computer-assisted literature searches using the PubMed/MEDLINE,Embase,and Cochrane Central databases through September 2022.Prospective and retrospective observational studies evaluating the CR of early-stage GML following bacterial eradication in H.pylori-positive patients.The risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Critical Appraisal Tools.The pooled estimate of the complete histopathological remission rate and respective confidence intervals(95%CI)were calculated following the random-effects model.Heterogeneity and inconsistency were assessed using Cochran’s Q test and I2 statistic,and heterogeneity was defined as P<0.01 and I²>50%,respectively.Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were conducted to explore potential sources of heterogeneity.RESULTS The titles and abstracts of 1576 studies were screened;96 articles were retrieved and selected for full-text reading.Finally,61 studies were included in the proportional meta-analysis(P-MA).Forty-six were prospective and fifteen were retrospective uncontrolled,single-arm,observational studies.The overall risk of bias was low to moderate in all but a single report,with an average critical appraisal score across all studies of 79.02%.A total of 2936 H.pylori-positive early-stage GML patients,in whom H.pylori was successfully eradicated,were included in the analysis.The pooled CR of H.pylori-positive early-stage GML after bacterial eradication was 75.18%(95%CI:70.45%-79.91%).P-MA indicated the substantial heterogeneity in CR reported across studies(I2=92%;P<0.01).Meta-regression analysis identified statistically significant effect modifiers,including the proportion of patients with t(11;18)(q21;q21)-positive GML and the risk of bias in each study.CONCLUSION Comprehensive synthesis of available evidence suggests that H.pylori eradication is effective as the sole initial therapy for early-stage GML.Although the substantial heterogeneity observed across studies limits the interpretation of the pooled overall CR,the present study is a relevant to informing clinical practice. | Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Caroline Tianeze de Castro Mariana Santos Calmon Marcel Silva Luz Samuel Luca Rocha Pinheiro Clara Faria Souza Mendes dos Santos Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Hanna Santos Marques Henrique Affonso Delgado Kádima Nayara Teixeira Cláudio Lima Souza Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2023 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2023，29，14： | 2 |
| 14 | Appropriateness of outpatient gastrointestinal endoscopy in a non-academic hospital显示文摘AIM:To assess the appropriate use and the diagnostic yield of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy in this subgroup of patients.METHODS:In total,789 consecutive outpatients referred for gastrointestinal(GI) endoscopy [381 for esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) and 408 for colonoscopy] were prospectively enrolled in the study.The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(ASGE) guidelines were used to assess the relationship between appropriateness and the presence of relevant endoscopic f indings.RESULTS:The overall inappropriate rate was 13.3%.The indications for EGD and colonoscopy were,respectively,appropriate in 82.7% and 82.6% of the exams,uncertain in 5.8% and 2.4% and inappropriate in 11.5% and 15%.The diagnostic yield was signif icant higher forEGDs and colonoscopies judged appropriate and uncertain when compared with those considered inappropriate(EGD:36.6% vs 36.4% vs 11.4%,P = 0.004;Colonoscopy:24.3% vs 20.0% vs 3.3%,P = 0.001).Of the 25 malignant lesions detected,all but one was detected in exams judged appropriate or uncertain.CONCLUSION:This study shows a good adherence to ASGE guidelines by the referring physicians and a significant increase of the diagnostic yield in appropriate examinations,namely in detecting neoplastic lesions.It underscores the importance that the appropriateness of the indication assumes in assuring high-quality GI endoscopic procedures. | Joo Mangualde Marie I Cremers Ana M Vieira Ricardo Freire lia Gamito Cristina Lobato Ana L Alves Fátima Augusto Ana P Oliveira | 2011 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2011，3，10： | 2 |
| 15 | Role of nickel-regulated small RNA in modulation of Helicobacter pylori virulence factors显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is a Gram-negative bacterium that infects about half of the world's population.H.pylori infection prevails by several mechanisms of adaptation of the bacteria and by its virulence factors including the cytotoxin associated antigen A(CagA).CagA is an oncoprotein that is the protagonist of gastric carcinogenesis associated with prolonged H.pylori infection.In this sense,small regulatory RNAs(sRNAs)are important macromolecules capable of inhibiting and activating gene expression.This function allows sRNAs to act in adjusting to unstable environmental conditions and in responding to cellular stresses in bacterial infections.Recent discoveries have shown that nickelregulated small RNA(NikS)is a post-transcriptional regulator of virulence properties of H.pylori,including the oncoprotein CagA.Notably,high concentrations of nickel cause the reduction of NikS expression and consequently this increases the levels of CagA.In addition,NikS expression appears to be lower in clinical isolates from patients with gastric cancer when compared to patients without.With that in mind,this minireview approaches,in an accessible way,the most important and current aspects about the role of NikS in the control of virulence factors of H.pylori and the potential clinical repercussions of this modulation. | Fabrício Freire de Melo Hanna Santos Marques Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Marcel Silva Luz Samuel Luca Rocha Pinheiro Lorena Sousa de Carvalho Cláudio Lima Souza Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira | 2022 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2022，10，31： | 2 |
| 16 | Helicobacter pylori infection:How does age influence the inflammatory pattern?显示文摘The inflammatory pattern during Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection is changeable and complex.During childhood,it is possible to observe a predominantly regulatory response,evidenced by high concentrations of key cytokines for the maintenance of Treg responses such as TGF-β1 and IL-10,in addition to high expression of the transcription factor FOXP3.On the other hand,there is a predominance of cytokines associated with the Th1 and Th17 responses among H.pylori-positive adults.In the last few years,the participation of the Th17 response in the gastric inflammation against H.pylori infection has been highlighted due to the high levels of TGF-β1 and IL-17 found in this infectious scenario,and growing evidence has supported a close relationship between this immune response profile and unfavorable outcomes related to the infection.Moreover,this cytokine profile might play a pivotal role in the effectiveness of anti-H.pylori vaccines.It is evident that age is one of the main factors influencing the gastric inflammatory pattern during the infection with H.pylori,and understanding the immune response against the bacterium can assist in the development of alternative prophylactic and therapeutic strategies against the infection as well as in the comprehension of the pathogenesis of the outcomes related to that microorganism. | Glauber Rocha Lima Araújo Hanna Santos Marques Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Filipe Antônio França daSilva Breno Bittencourt da Brito Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2022 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2022，28，4： | 2 |
| 17 | Mathematical simulation of radial heat transfer in packed beds by pseudohomogeneous modeling显示文摘Uniform flow regime and constant effective thermal conductivity inside packed beds are commonly accepted in the evaluation of the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in such systems.However,several authors have confirmed the presence of an oscillatory velocity profile caused by the effective contribution of porosity profile in the fluid dynamic behavior of packed beds,which directly influences the heat transfer inside the beds.This paper describes the application of a pseudo-homogeneous mathematical model for describing heat transfer in packed beds with oscillatory profiles of velocity and porosity,using a radius-dependent model for effective thermal conductivity k r.Several temperature profiles were obtained in a packed bed system with thermal source located on the wall.The simulated temperature and effective thermal conductivity obtained from simulations were compared with experimental data and calculation from a model based on uniform k r fitting.The results indicate that the proposed mathematical modeling was capable of better representing the heat transfer in the packed bed. | Rodrigo Béttega Marcos Flávio Pinto Moreira Ronaldo Guimaraes Corrêa José Teixeira Freire | 2011 | Particuology2011，9，2： | 2 |
| 18 | Streptococcus agalactiae:Identification methods,antimicrobial susceptibility, and resistance genes in pregnant women显示文摘BACKGROUND Group B Streptococcus(GBS)is a normal component of the gastrointestinal and genital microbiota in humans and can lead to important infections in newborns.AIM To compare GBS isolation and identification methods as well as to assess the antibiotic susceptibility and to identify resistance genes in GBS strains from pregnant women attended in healthcare services from the city of Vitória da Conquista,in Bahia State,Brazil.METHODS From January 2017 to February 2018,vaginorectal swabs were obtained from 186 participants and the samples were seeded onto chromogenic agar for GBS before and after inoculation in selective broth.Confirmatory identification using 3 CAMP and latex tests was performed in samples with GBS-suggestive colonies.Then,disk diffusion antibiograms were performed in GBS-positive samples,and the detection of the resistance genes ermB,ermTR,mefA,and linB in the clindamycin and/or erythromycin-resistant samples was carried out.RESULTS Thirty-two samples(17.2%)were GBS-positive.The culture in chromogenic agar after sample incubation in selective broth was the most sensitive method(96.9%)for GBS detection.All isolates were susceptible to penicillin,ampicillin,cefotaxime,and vancomycin.Clindamycin resistance was observed in 6 samples(18.8%),while 8 samples(25%)were erythromycin-resistant.All erythromycin and/or clindamycin-resistant GBS strains had negative D-tests.Two strains(25%)presented an M phenotype and 6 isolates(75%)presented a cMLSB phenotype.The ermB gene was identified in 4 samples(44.4%),the mefA gene was also found in 4 samples(44.4%),the ermTR gene was identified in 1 isolate(11.1%),and the linB gene was not found in any isolate.CONCLUSION This study evidenced that the screening for SGB can be performed by means of various methods,including chromogenic media,and that the chemoprophylaxis for pregnant women who cannot use penicillin must be susceptibility-guided. | Fabrícia Almeida Fernandes Santana Tais Viana Ledo de Oliveira Marcelo Barreto de Souza Filho Lucas Santana Coelho da Silva Breno Bittencourt de Brito Fabrício Freire de Melo Cláudio Lima Souza Lucas Miranda Marques Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2020，8，18： | 2 |
| 19 | Non-pharmacological management of pediatric functional abdominal pain disorders:Current evidence and future perspectives显示文摘Functional abdominal pain disorders(FAPDs) are an important and prevalent cause of functional gastrointestinal disorders among children, encompassing the diagnoses of functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, abdominal migraine, and the one not previously present in Rome Ⅲ, functional abdominal pain not otherwise specified. In the absence of sufficiently effective and safe pharmacological treatments for this public problem, non-pharmacological therapies emerge as a viable means of treating these patients, avoiding not only possible side effects, but also unnecessary prescription, since many of the pharmacological treatments prescribed do not have good efficacy when compared to placebo. Thus, the present study provides a review of current and relevant evidence on non-pharmacological management of FAPDs, covering the most commonly indicated treatments, from cognitive behavioral therapy to meditation, acupuncture, yoga, massage, spinal manipulation, moxibustion, and physical activities. In addition, this article also analyzes the quality of publications in the area, assessing whether it is possible to state if non-pharmacological therapies are viable, safe, and sufficiently well-based for an appropriate and effective prescription of these treatments. Finally, it is possible to observe an increase not only in the number of publications on the non-pharmacological treatments for FAPDs in recent years, but also an increase in the quality of these publications. Finally, the sample selection of satisfactory age groups in these studies enables the formulation of specific guidelines for this age group, thus avoiding the need for adaptation of prescriptions initially made for adults, but for children use. | Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Ronaldo Teixeira da Silva Júnior Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antônio França da Silva Hanna Santos Marques Vinícius Lima de SouzaGonçalves Talita Costa dos Santos Carolina Ladeia Cirne Natália Oliveira e Silva Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2022 | World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics2022，11，2： | 2 |
