| 1 | Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) as a biomarker for acute myocardial injury and long-term post-ischemic prognosis显示文摘尖锐心肌的梗塞(AMI ) 是一个威胁生活的事件。甚至与及时处理,尖锐 ischemic 心肌的损害和随后的局部缺血灌注损害(IRI ) 能仍然是困难的问题处理。除了放射学并且另外的辅助考试,适用的心脏的 biomarkers 的实验室测试为这混乱监视的早诊断和结束也是必要的。心类型丰满的酸绑定蛋白质(H-FABP ) 主要在 cardiomyocytes 内存在,最近为心肌的损害作为潜在地有希望的 biomarker 出现了。在这评论,我们在对心肌的损害和 IRI 的评价讨论 H-FABP 的敏感和特性,特别在早阶段,和它与另外的通常使用的心脏的 biomarkers 比较的长期的预示的价值,包括肌球素( Mb ),心脏的 troponin 我( cTnI ),肌酸 kinase MB ( CK-MB ),C反应的蛋白质( CRP ),肝糖 phosphorylase isoenzyme BB ( GPBB ),和高敏感的心脏的 troponin T ( hs-cTnT )。有另外的 biomarkers 的 H-FABP 的联合申请的潜力和值也被讨论。最后, H-FABP 的前景被总结;几个技术问题被讨论在临床的实践便于 H-FABP 的更宽的申请。 | Xiao-dong YE Yi HE Sheng WANG Gordon T WONG Michael G IRWIN Zhengyuan XIA | 2018 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2018,39,7: | 72 |
| 2 | EGFR and HER2 expression in advanced biliary tract cancer显示文摘AIM:To analyze the pathogenetic role and potential clinical usefulness of the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)in patients with advanced biliary tract cancer(BTC). METHODS:EGFR and HER2 expression was studied in biopsy samples from 124 patients(51%women; median age 64.8 years),with advanced BTC diagnosed between 1997 and 2004.Five micrometers sections of paraffin embedded tissue were examined by standard, FDA approved immunohistochemistry.Tumors with scores of 2+or 3+for HER2 expression on immunochemistry were additionally tested for HER2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridisation(FISH).RESULTS:34/124 patients(27.4%)had gallbladder cancer,47(37.9%)had intrahepatic BTC and 43(34.7%)had extrahepatic or perihilar BTC.EGFR expression was examined in a subset of 56 samples. EGFR expression was absent in 22/56 tumors(39.3%). Of the remaining samples expression was scored as 1+in 12(21.5%),2+in 13(23.2%)and 3+in 9(16%), respectively.HER2 expression was as follows:score 0 73/124(58.8%),score 1+27/124(21.8%),score 2+ 21/124(17%)and score 3+4/124(3.2%).HER2 gene amplification was present in 6/124,resulting in an overall amplification rate of 5%. CONCLUSION:Our data suggest that routine testing and therapeutic targeting of HER2 does not seem to be useful in patients with BTC,while targeting EGFR may be promising. | Jan Harder Oliver Waiz Florian Otto Michael Geissler Manfred Olschewski Brigitte Weinhold Hubert E Blum Annette Schmitt-Graeff Oliver G Opitz | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,36: | 18 |
| 3 | Resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by rosuvastatin monotherapy in patients with metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of rosuvastatin monotherapy on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH). At present there is no effective treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or its advanced form NASH.METHODS: This prospective study included 20 biopsy proven patients with NASH, metabolic syndrome(Met S) and dyslipidaemia. Biochemical parameters of the blood of the patients and an ultrasonography of the liver were performed at baseline. Then patients receivedlifestyle advice and were treated for a 12 mo period with rosuvastatin(10 mg/d) monotherapy. Patients were re-evaluated during the study at 3 mo intervals, during which biochemical parameters of the blood were measured including liver enzymes. A repeat biopsy and ultrasonography of the liver were performed at the end of the study in all 20 patients. Changes in liver enzymes, fasting plasma glucose, serum creatinine, serum uric acid(SUA), high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs CRP) and lipid profile were assessed every 3 mo. The primary endpoint was the resolution of NASH and the secondary endpoints were the changes in liver enzyme and lipid values.RESULTS: The repeat liver biopsy and ultrasonography showed complete resolution of NASH in 19 patients, while the 20 th, which had no improvement but no deterioration either, developed arterial hypertension and substantial rise in triglyceride levels during the study, probably due to changes in lifestyle including alcohol abuse. Serum alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase were normalised by the 3rd treatment month(ANOVA P < 0.001), while alkaline phosphatase activities by the 6th treatment month(ANOVA, P = 0.01). Fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin were significantly reduced(P < 0.001). Lipid values were normalised by the 3rd treatment month. No patient had Met S by the 9th treatment month. Body mass index and waist circumference remained unchanged during the study. Thus, changes in liver pathology and function should be attributed solely to rosuvastatin treatment. A limitation of the study is the absence of a control group.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that rosuvastatin monotherapy could ameliorate biopsy proven NASH and resolve Met S within 12 mo. These effects and the reduction of fasting plasma glucose and SUA levels may reduce the risk of vascular and liver morbidity and mortality in NASH patients. These findings need confirmation in larger studies. | Konstantinos Kargiotis Vasilios G Athyros Olga Giouleme Niki Katsiki Evangelia Katsiki Panagiotis Anagnostis Chrysoula Boutari Michael Doumas Asterios Karagiannis Dimitri P Mikhailidis | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,25: | 18 |
| 4 | Is diabetes a causal agent for colorectal cancer? Pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms显示文摘The possible relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and colorectal cancer (CRC), concerning pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms is highlighted in this review. The most recent and complete articles and developments in this particular field were thoroughly reviewed. Common risk factors, such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and Western diet between DM and CRC, led to the theory that DM might be a causal agent for CRC development. Various studies have connected type 2 DM and CRC, either proximal or distal, in both sexes. Additionally, chronic insulin treatment has been linked with increased colorectal tumor risk among type 2 diabetic patients. Interestingly, elevated hemoglobin A1c has been proven to be an independent predictor of aggressive clinical behavior in CRC patients. These mechanisms include the insulin-like growth factor-hyperinsulinemia theory and the participation of oncogenic intracellular signaling pathways. Furthermore, it has been proposed that Cox-2 inhibitors might have a role in decreasing the incidence of CRC. Finally, the use of statins to reduce the risk for colon cancer in patients with diabetes has remained controversial. Diabetic patients over 50 should receive counseling regarding their elevated risk for CRC, and screening colonoscopy should be recommended before initiating insulin therapy. However, there are no current guidelines, and this strategy is not yet applicable to some countries, as the corresponding risk would not allow screening colonoscopy to be adopted. There is strong evidence to indicate that DM is a causal agent for CRC development. This conclusion provides new impetus for re-evaluating CRC screening worldwide. | Olga Giouleme Michael D Diamantidis Marios G Katsaros | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,4: | 15 |
| 5 | Efficient unidirectional polarization-controlled excitation of surface plasmon polaritons显示文摘Efficient excitation of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs)remains one of the most challenging issues in areas of plasmonics related to information communication technologies.In particular,combining high SPP excitation efficiency and acceptance of any polarization of incident light appeared to be impossible to attain due to the polarized nature of SPPs.Here we demonstrate plasmonic couplers that represent arrays of gap SPP resonators producing upon reflection two orthogonal phase gradients in respective linear polarizations of incident radiation.These couplers are thereby capable of efficiently converting incident radiation with arbitrary polarization into SPPs that propagate in orthogonal directions dictated by the phase gradients.Fabricated couplers operate at telecom wavelengths and feature the coupling efficiency of,25%for either of two linear polarizations of incident radiation and directivity of SPP excitation exceeding 100.We further demonstrate that an individual wavelength-sized unit cell,representing a meta-scatterer,can also be used for efficient and polarization sensitive SPP excitation in compact plasmonics circuits. | Anders Pors Michael G Nielsen Thomas Bernardin Jean-Claude Weeber Sergey I Bozhevolnyi | 2014 | Light(Science & Applications)2014,3,1: | 11 |
| 6 | Propofol use in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound显示文摘Compared to standard endoscopy,endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)are often lengthier and more complex,thus requiring higher doses of sedatives for patient comfort and compliance.The aim of this review is to provide the reader with information regarding the use,safety profile,and merits of propofol for sedation in advanced endoscopic procedures like ERCP and EUS,based on the current literature. | Danny G Cheriyan Michael F Byrne | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,18: | 11 |

| 8 | 大气压下He和N2辉光放电等离子体对生物用薄膜表面改性的研究显示文摘生物用薄膜双向拉伸聚丙烯(BOPP)表面的惰性特性影响了其更为广泛的应用,为解决这一问题,需要在不改变薄膜主体特性的情况下对其表面特性进行改性。采用大气压下He和N2辉光放电等离子体对该薄膜进行了表面改性,并研究了等离子体各种参数对表面改性的影响。通过对该等离子体放电特性和光谱特性的研究,验证了其低温和均匀特性。大肠杆菌E.coli K12在等离子体处理后的BOPP表面的粘附性实验表明,N2体积流量和处理时间对BOPP表面改性有重要影响,加入N2的等离子体能提升BOPP膜表面的细菌粘附性。为进一步研究等离子体BOPP表面改性的机理,对等离子体处理后的BOPP进行了接触角测量、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、原子力显微镜(AFM)分析。分析表明,等离子体改性后薄膜的亲水性、活性化学功能团、表面结构发生了显著变化。 | 柳晶晶 Kong Michael G | 2012 | 高电压技术2012,38,5: | 11 |
| 9 | Evolution and advances in laparoscopic ventral and incisional hernia repair显示文摘Primary ventral hernias and ventral incisional hernias have been a challenge for surgeons throughout the ages. In the current era, incisional hernias have increased in prevalence due to the very high number of laparotomies performed in the 20 th century. Even though minimally invasive surgery and hernia repair have evolved rapidly, general surgeons have yet to develop the ideal, standardized method that adequately decreases common postoperative complications, such as wound failure, hernia recurrence and pain. The evolution of laparoscopy and ventral hernia repair will be reviewed, from the rectoscopy of the 4th century to the advent of laparoscopy, from suture repair to the evolution of mesh reinforcement. The nuances of minimally invasive ventral and incisional hernia repair will be summarized, from preoperative considerations to variations in intraoperative practice. New techniques have become increasingly popular, such as primary defect closure, retrorectus mesh placement, and concomitant component separation. The advent of robotics has made some of these repairs more feasible, but only time and well-designed clinical studies will tell if this will be a durable modality for ventral and incisional hernia repair. | Alan L Vorst Christodoulos Kaoutzanis Alfredo M Carbonell Michael G Franz | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2015,7,11: | 10 |
| 10 | Helicobacter pylori upregulates prion protein expression in gastric mucosa: A possible link to prion disease显示文摘AIM: Pathological prion protein (PrPSC) is responsible for the development of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). While PrPc enters the organism via the oral route, less data is available to know about its uptake and the role of gastrointestinal inflammation on the expression of prion precursor PrPc, which is constitutively expressed in the gastric mucosa.METHODS: We studied PrPc expression in the gastric mucosa of 10 Helicobacter pylori-positive patients before and after successful H pylori eradication compared to non-infected controls using RT-PCR and Western blotting.The effect of central mediators of gastric inflammation,i.e., gastrin, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) on PrPc expression was analyzed in gastric cell lines.RESULTS: PrPc expression was increased in H pyloriinfection compared with non-infected controls and decreased to normal after successful eradication. Gastrin,PGE2, and IL-1β dose-dependently upregulated PrPc in gastric cells, while TNF-α had no effect.CONCLUSION: H pylori infection leads to the upregulation of gastric PrPc expression. This can be linked to H pylori induced hypergastrinemia and increased mucosal PGE2 and IL-1β synthesis.H pylori creates a milieu for enhanced propagation of prions in the gastrointestinal tract. | Peter C Konturek Karolina Bazela Vitally Kukharskyy Michael Bauer Eckhart G Hahn Detlef Schuppan | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,48: | 9 |

| 12 | 基因组和转录组学分析WHOⅡ/Ⅲ级大脑弥漫性胶质瘤的分子分型有助于患者的预后分层显示文摘将大脑胶质瘤在组织学分类和临床病理上分出Ⅱ级和Ⅲ级,这对WHO而言是一个重大的挑战。本文作者设想利用大规模基因组和转录组学分析是否能分出更为明确的不同预后类型。作者基于微阵列的基因组和转录组方法分析了137例原发大脑胶质瘤,病例来自一个前瞻性的德国胶质瘤网( German Glioma Network),其中包括61例WHO II级和76例WHO III级的肿瘤患者。用综合生物信息学分析确定分子亚型,然后将其与组织学、分子生物标记和患者预后相联系,分子生物标志物包括异柠檬酸脱氢酶1或2( IDH1/2),1p/19q联合缺失和端粒酶逆转录酶(TERT)基因启动子突变。通过基因组分析将其分为5个的胶质瘤组,包括3个IDH1/2突变型和2个IDH1/2野生型。通过表达谱分析发现8个不同的转录组(5个IDH1/2突变型,3个IDH1/2野生型),它们与基因组只有部分关联。结合DNA为基础的分子分层和临床预后划分为3个主要预后组,他们有着特异的基因组突变。 IDH1/2突变和1p/19q染色体联合缺失的患者预后最好。 IDH1/2野生型胶质瘤和类似胶质母细胞瘤基因组变异[包括7q染色体获得(+7q),10q染色体缺失(-10q),TERT启动子突变和癌基因扩增]的患者预后最差。IDH1/2突变但1p/19q染色体正常的患者(主要是星形细胞瘤)和IDH1/2野生型,但没有+7q/-10q 基因型及 TERT启动子突变的胶质瘤患者处于中间位的生存期。这种分子分层将患者分为不同的预后组比组织学分类更好。加入基因组分类的基因表达谱分析并不能更进一步促进预后分层。 | Michael W Ruthild G Edith W 陈达阳 王行富 | 2015 | 临床与实验病理学杂志2015,31,7: | 9 |
| 13 | Perioperative anemia management in colorectal cancer patients:A pragmatic approach显示文摘Anemia,usually due to iron deficiency,is highly prevalent among patients with colorectal cancer.Inflammatory cytokines lead to iron restricted erythropoiesis further decreasing iron availability and impairing iron utilization.Preoperative anemia predicts for decreased survival.Allogeneic blood transfusion is widely used to correct anemia and is associated with poorer surgical outcomes,increased post-operative nosocomial infections,longer hospital stays,increased rates of cancer recurrence and perioperative venous thromboembolism.Infections are more likely to occur in those with low preoperative serum ferritin level compared to those with normal levels.A multidisciplinary,multimodal,individualized strategy,collectively termed Patient Blood Management,minimizes or eliminates allogeneic blood transfusion.This includes restrictive transfusion policy,thromboprophylaxis and anemia management to improve outcomes.Normalization of preoperative hemoglobin levels is a World Health Organization recommendation.Iron repletion should be routinely ordered when indicated.Oral iron is poorly tolerated with low adherence based on published evidence.Intravenous iron is safe and effective but is frequently avoided due to misinformation and misinterpretation concerning the incidence and clinical nature of minor infusion reactions.Serious adverse events with intravenous iron are extremely rare.Newer formulations allow complete replacement dosing in 15-60 min markedly facilitating care.Erythropoiesis stimulating agents may improve response rates.A multidisciplinary,multimodal,individualized strategy,collectively termed Patient Blood Management used to minimize or eliminate allogeneic blood transfusion is indicated to improve outcomes. | Manuel Muoz Susana Gómez-Ramírez Elisa Martín-Montaez Michael Auerbach | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,8: | 8 |

| 15 | Orthotopic liver transplantation for giant liver haemangioma: A case report显示文摘In liver haemangiomas, the risk of complication rises with increasing size, and treatment can be obligatory. Here we present a case of a 46-year-old female who suffered from a giant haemangioma causing severe portal hypertension and vena cava compression, leading to therapy refractory ascites, hyponatremia and venostasis-associated thrombosis with pulmonary embolism. The patients did not experience tumour rupture or consumptive coagulopathy. Surgical resection was impossible because of steatosis of the non-affected liver. Orthotopic liver transplantation was identified as the only treatment option. The patient's renal function remained stable even though progressive morbidity and organ allocation were improbable according to the patient's lab model for end-stage liver disease(lab MELD) score. Therefore, non-standard exception status was approved by the European organ allocation network 'Eurotransplant'. The patient underwent successful orthotopic liver transplantation 16 mo after admission to our centre. Our case report indicates the underrepresentation of morbidity associated with refractory ascites in the lab MELD-based transplant allocation system, and it indicates the necessity of promptly applying for non-standard exception status to enable transplantation in patients with a severe clinical condition but low lab MELD score. Our case highlights the fact that liver transplantation should be considered early in patients with non-resectable, symptomatic benign liver tumours. | Undine G Lange Julian N Bucher Markus B Schoenberg Christian Benzing Moritz Schmelzle Tanja Gradistanac Steffen Strocka Hans-Michael Hau Michael Bartels | 2015 | World Journal of Transplantation2015,5,4: | 6 |

| 17 | Burden of Clostridium difficile infection between 2010 and 2013:Trends and outcomes from an academic center in Eastern Europe显示文摘AIM:To analyze the incidence and possible risk factors in hospitalized patients treated with Clostridium difficile infection(CDI).METHODS:A total of 11751 patients were admitted to our clinic between 1 January 2010 and 1 May2013.Two hundred and forty-seven inpatients were prospectively diagnosed with CDI.For the risk analysis a 1:3 matching was used.Data of 732 patients matched for age,sex,and inpatient care period and unit were compared to those of the CDI population.Inpatient records were collected from an electronic hospital database and comprehensively reviewed.RESULTS:Incidence of CDI was 21.0/1000 admissions(2.1%of all-cause hospitalizations and 4.45%of total inpatient days).The incidence of severe CDI was 12.6%(2.63/1000 of all-cause hospitalizations).Distribution of CDI cases was different according to the unit type,with highest incidence rates in hematology,gastroenterology and nephrology units(32.9,25 and24.6/1000 admissions,respectively) and lowest rates in 1.4%(33/2312) in endocrinology and general internal medicine(14.2 and 16.9/1000 admissions)units.Recurrence of CDI was 11.3%within 12 wk after discharge.Duration of hospital stay was longer in patients with CDI compared to controls(17.6 ± 10.8d vs 12.4 ± 7.71 d).CDI accounted for 6.3%of allinpatient deaths,and 30-d mortality rate was 21.9%(54/247 cases).Risk factors for CDI were antibiotic therapy[including third-generation cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones,odds ratio(OR) = 4.559;P < 0.001],use of proton pump inhibitors(OR = 2.082,P< 0.001),previous hospitaiization within 12 mo(OR = 3.167,P < 0.001),previous CDI(OR = 15.32;P < 0.001),while presence of diabetes mellitus was associated with a decreased risk for CDI(OR = 0.484;P< 0.001).Treatment of recurrent cases was significantly different from primary infections with more frequent use of vancomycin alone or in combination(P < 0.001),and antibiotic therapy duration was longer(P < 0.02).Severity,mortality and outcome of primary infections and relapsing cases did not significantly differ.CONCLUSION:CDI was accounted for significant burden with longer hospitaiization and adverse outcomes.Antibiotic,PPI therapy and previous hospitaiization or CDI were risk factors for CDI. | Zsuzsanna Kurti Barbara D Lovasz Michael D Mandel Zoltan Csima Petra A Golovics Bence D Csako Anna Mohas Lorant Gnczi Krisztina B Gecse Lajos S Kiss Miklos Szathmari Peter L Lakatos | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,21: | 6 |
| 18 | Peripancreatic collections in acute pancreatitis: Correlation between computerized tomography and operative fi ndings显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the ability of contrast-enhanced computerized tomography (CECT) to characterize the nature of peripancreatic collections.METHODS: Twenty five patients with peripancreatic collections on CECT and who underwent operative intervention for severe acute pancreatitis were retrospectively studied. The collections were classified into (1) necrosis without frank pus; (2) necrosis with pus; and (3) fluid without necrosis. A blinded radiologist assessed the preoperative CTs of each patient for necrosis and peripancreatic fluid collections. Peripancreatic collections were described in terms of volume, location, number, heterogeneity, fluid attenuation, wall perceptibility, wall enhancement, presence of extraluminal gas, and vascular compromise.RESULTS: Fifty-four collections were identif ied at operation, of which 45 (83%) were identif ied on CECT. Of these, 25/26 (96%) had necrosis without pus, 16/19 (84%) had necrosis with pus, and 4/9 (44%) had fluid without necrosis. Among the study characteristics, fluid heterogeneity was seen in a greater proportion of collections in the group with necrosis and pus, compared to the other two groups (94% vs 48% and 25%, P = 0.002 and 0.003, respectively). Among the wall characteristics, irregularity was seen in a greater proportion of collections in the groups with necrosis with and without pus, when compared to the group with fluid without necrosis (88% and 71% vs 25%, P = 0.06 and P < 0.01, respectively). The combination of heterogeneity and presence of extraluminal gas had a specif icity and positive likelihood ratio of 92% and 5.9, respectively, in detecting pus. CONCLUSION: Most of the peripancreatic collections seen on CECT in patients with severe acute pancreatitis who require operative intervention contain necrotic tissue. CECT has a somewhat limited role in differentiating the different types of collections. | Santhi Swaroop Vege Joel G Fletcher Rupjyoti Talukdar Michael G Sarr | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,34: | 5 |
| 19 | Model combining pre-transplant tumor biomarkers and tumor size shows more utility in predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence and survival than the BALAD models显示文摘AIM To assess the performance of BALAD, BALAD-2 and their component biomarkers in predicting outcome of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients after liver transplant.METHODS BALAD score and BALAD-2 class are derived from bilirubin, albumin, alpha-fetoprotein(AFP), Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive AFP(AFP-L3), and des-gammacarboxyprothrombin(DCP). Pre-transplant AFP, AFP-L3 and DCP were measured in 113 patients transplanted for HCC from 2000 to 2008. Hazard ratios(HR) for recurrence and death were calculated. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted. C-statistics were used to compare biomarker-based to predictive models. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.2 years, 38 patients recurred and 87 died. The HRs for recurrence in patients with elevated AFP, AFP-L3, and DCP defined by BALAD cut-off values were 2.42(1.18-5.00), 1.86(0.98-3.52), and 2.83(1.42-5.61), respectively. For BALAD, the HRs for recurrence and death per unit increased score were 1.48(1.15-1.91) and 1.59(1.28-1.97). For BALAD-2, the HRs for recurrence and death per unit increased class were 1.45(1.06-1.98) and 1.38(1.09-1.76). For recurrence prediction, the combination of three biomarkers had the highest c-statistic of 0.66 vs. 0.64, 0.61, 0.53, and 0.53 for BALAD, BALAD-2, Milan, and UCSF, respectively. Similarly, for death prediction, the combination of three biomarkers had the highest c-statistic of 0.66 vs 0.65,0.61, 0.52, and 0.50 for BALAD, BALAD-2, Milan, and UCSF. A new model combining biomarkers with tumor size at the time of transplant(S-LAD) demonstrated the highest predictive capability with c-statistics of 0.71 and 0.69 for recurrence and death. CONCLUSION BALAD and BALAD-2 are valid in transplant HCC patients, but less predictive than the three biomarkers in combination or the three biomarkers in combination with maximal tumor diameter(S-LAD). | Nicha Wongjarupong Gabriela M Negron-Ocasio Roongruedee Chaiteerakij Benyam D Addissie Essa A Mohamed Kristin C Mara William S Harmsen J Paul Theobald Brian E Peters Joseph G Balsanek Melissa M Ward Nasra H Giama Sudhakar K Venkatesh Denise M Harnois Michael R Charlton Hiroyuki Yamada Alicia Algeciras-Schimnich Melissa R Snyder Terry M Therneau Lewis R Roberts | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,12: | 5 |
| 20 | Gastric emptying, postprandial blood pressure, glycaemia and splanchnic flow in Parkinson's disease显示文摘AIM: To determine gastric emptying, blood pressure, mesenteric artery blood flow, and blood glucose responses to oral glucose in Parkinson's disease. METHODS: Twenty-one subjects(13 M, 8 F; age 64.2 ± 1.6 years) with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease(Hoehn and Yahr score 1.4 ± 0.1, duration of known disease 6.3 ± 0.9 years) consumed a 75 g glucose drink, labelled with 20 MBq 99mTc-calcium phytate. Gastric emptying was quantified with scintigraphy, blood pressure and heart rate with an automated device, superior mesenteric artery blood flow by Doppler ultrasonography and blood glucose byglucometer for 180 min. Autonomic nerve function was evaluated with cardiovascular reflex tests and upper gastrointestinal symptoms by questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean gastric half-emptying time was 106 ± 9.1 min, gastric emptying was abnormally delayed in 3 subjects(14%). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure fell(P < 0.001) and mesenteric blood flow and blood glucose(P < 0.001 for both) increased, following the drink. Three subjects(14%) had definite autonomic neuropathy and 8(38%) had postprandial hypotension. There were no significant relationships between changes in blood pressure, heart rate or mesenteric artery blood flow with gastric emptying. Gastric emptying was related to the score for autonomic nerve function(R = 0.55, P < 0.01). There was an inverse relationship between the blood glucose at t = 30 min(R =-0.52, P < 0.05), while the blood glucose at t = 180 min was related directly(R = 0.49, P < 0.05), with gastric emptying. CONCLUSION: In mild to moderate Parkinson's disease, gastric emptying is related to autonomic dysfunction and a determinant of the glycaemic response to oral glucose. | Laurence G Trahair Thomas E Kimber Katerina Flabouris Michael Horowitz Karen L Jones | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,20: | 5 |
