1Autologous CD34^+ and CD133^+ stem cells transplantation in patients with end stage liver disease显示文摘AIM:To assess the utility of an autologous CD34 + and CD133 + stem cells infusion as a possible therapeutic modality in patients with end-stage liver diseases.METHODS:One hundred and forty patients with endstage liver diseases were randomized into two groups.Group 1,comprising 90 patients,received granulocyte colony stimulating factor for five days followed by autologous CD34 + and CD133 + stem cell infusion in the portal vein.Group 2,comprising 50 patients,received regular liver treatment only and served as a control group.RESULTS:Near normalization of liver enzymes and improvement in synthetic function were observed in 54.5% of the group 1 patients;13.6% of the patients showed stable states in the infused group.None of the patients in the control group showed improvement.No adverse effects were noted.CONCLUSION:Our data showed that a CD34 + and CD133 + stem cells infusion can be used as supportive treatment for end-stage liver disease with satisfactory tolerability.Hosny Salama Abdel-Rahman N Zekri Abeer A Bahnassy Eman Medhat Hanan A Halim Ola S Ahmed Ghada Mohamed Sheren A Al Alim Ghada M Sherif 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,42:16
2Highlights in pathogenesis of vitiligo显示文摘Vitiligo is a common pigmentary disorder. Many studies across decades and all over the world have attempted to illustrate the pathogenesis behind it; however, the pathogenesis of vitiligo remains elusive. This review article, we present the findings behind the most and updated theories behind this psychologically debilitating and disfiguring disease. The discussion begun with the role of genetic predisposition followed by neural theory first proposed in the 1950 s. Wehighlight the autoimmune hypothesis, followed by the reactive oxygen species model, zinc-α2-glycoprotein deficiency hypothesis, viral theory, intrinsic theory and biochemical, molecular and cellular alterations accounting for loss of functioning melanocytes in vitiligo. Many theories were elaborated to clarify vitiligo pathogenesis. It is a multifactorial disease involving the interplay of several factors. Future research is needed to clarify the interaction of these factors for better understanding of vitiligo pathogenesis and subsequent successful treatment.Ghada F Mohammed Amal Hussein Gomaa Mohammed Saleh Al-Dhubaibi 2015World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,3:13
3Distribution and ecological risk assessment of some heavy metals in coastal surface sediments along the Red Sea,Egypt显示文摘The ecological risk assessment for Al,Zn,Cu,Ni,V,Pb,Cd,and Hg in surface sediment collected from the Egyptian Red Sea coast was evaluated using the Geo-accumulation Index(I_(geo)).Sediment Enrichment Factor(SEF) and Potential Ecological Risk Index(PERI) methods.The predominant heavy metal,aluminum,showed high concentrations along both of Aqaba Gulf(4378.8 ± 2554.1 μg/g) and southern part of the Red Sea(2972.8 + 1527.5 μg/g).while it recorded the lowest concentration in Suez Gulf(829.7 ± 398.2 μg/g).The determined heavy metal concentrations had the order of Al > Zn >-Ni > V > Pb > Cu > Cd > Hg.The statistical analyses showed some correlations among the heavy metals contents.Several international sediment quality guidelines were used to estimate the quality of the collected sediments.Interestingly,the recorded average heavy metals concentrations were lower than those of the permissible contents for sediment quality guidelines.The Geo-accumulation index calculations(I_(geo)) proved that the investigated region could be classified as an unpolluted area.Sediment Enrichment Factor(K_(SEF)) study showed high values in Suez Gulf region.The single pollution index analysis of heavy metals in the sediments(C^i_f) indicated that Al,Zn,V,and Pb were of natural origin,while Ni,Cd and Hg were seriously affected by human activities.Interestingly,amongst,all the determined heavy metals,Cd and Hg gave moderate ecological risk indicators.Ahmed El Nemr Ghada F.El-Said Azza Khaled Safaa Ragab 2016International Journal of Sediment Research2016,31,2:10
4Development of an Arabic version of the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire as a tool to study eye diseases patients in Egypt显示文摘AIM:To develop and test an Arabic version of the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25(NEI-VFQ-25).METHODS:NEI-VFQ-25 was translated into Arabic according to WHO translation guidelines. We enrolled adult consenting patients with bilateral chronic eye diseases who presented to 14 hospitals across Egypt from October to December 2012, and documented their clinical findings. Psychometric properties were then tested using STATA.RESULTS:We recruited 379 patients, whose mean age was(54.5±15)y. Of 46.2% were males, 227 had cataract,31 had glaucoma, 23 had retinal detachment, 37 had diabetic retinopathy, and 61 had miscellaneous visual defects. Non-response rate and the floor and ceiling numbers of the Arabic version(ARB-VFQ-25) were calculated. Internal consistency was high in all subscales(except general health), with Cronbach-α ranging from0.702-0.911. Test-retest reliability was high(intraclass correlation coefficient 0.79).CONCLUSION:RB-VFQ-25 isareliableandvalidtool for assessing visual functions of Arabic speaking patients. However, some questions had high non-response rates and should be substituted by available alternatives. Our results support the importance of including self-reported visual functions as part of routine ophthalmologic examination.Nizar Saleh Abdelfattah Mohamed Amgad Ahmed A Salama Marina E Israel Ghada A Elhawary Ahmed E Radwan Mohamed M Elgayar Tamer M EL Nakhal Islam T Elkhateb Heba A Hashem Doha K Embaby Amira A Elabd Reem K Elwy Magdi S Yacoub Hamdy Salem Mohamed Abdel-Baqy Ahmad Kassem 2014International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2014,7,5:8
5Significance of serum leptin and adiponectin levels in Egyptian patients with chronic hepatitis C virus associated hepatic steatosis and fibrosis显示文摘AIM:To study serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection genotype-4(HCV-4) related steatosis and fibrosis.METHODS:We prospectively studied 45 untreated men with chronic HCV-4,with proven steatosis(group Ⅰ,30 patients),and fibrosis(group Ⅱ,15 patients),on liver biopsy.In addition,15 healthy men(group Ⅲ),matched for age,and body mass index were included.However,we excluded another five patients with steatohepatitis,and six patients with cirrhosis.We measured total serum leptin and adiponectin levels,as potential predictors for liver steatosis and fibrosis.Also,a correlation between these adipokines and various clinical and laboratory data were evaluated.All subjects were selected from Tropical and Internal medicine departments,Menoufiya University Hospital,Menoufiya,Egypt,during the period from February 2010 to August 2011.RESULTS:In group Ⅰ,severity of hepatic steatosis was mild,moderate,and severe,in 19 patients(63.5%),8 patients(26.5%),and 3 patients(10%),respectively.In contrast,in group Ⅱ,hepatic fibrosis was found to be in stage 1,2,and 3,in 6 patients(40%),in 6 patients(40%),and in 3 patients(20%),respectively.On comparing group Ⅰ with group Ⅱ,there was a significant decrease in serum adiponectin levels(131.4 ± 7.91 pg/mL vs 436 ± 9.75 pg/mL,P < 0.001),while there was no significant difference between both groups regarding serum leptin levels(34.69 ± 7.69 ng/mL vs 35.17 ± 1.06 ng/mL,P > 0.05).However,in the same group,when compared with group Ⅲ,there was a significant increase in serum leptin levels(34.69 ± 7.69 ng/mL vs 10.69 ± 0.84 ng/mL,P < 0.001),while there was a significant decrease in serum adiponectin levels(131.4 ± 7.91 pg/mL vs 342.4 ± 44.48 pg/mL,P < 0.001).In contrast,in group Ⅱ,when compared with group Ⅲ,there was a significant increase in serum leptin and adiponectin levels(35.17 ± 1.06 ng/mL vs 10.69 ± 0.84 ng/mL,P < 0.001,and 436 ± 9.75 pg /mL vs 342.4 ± 44.48 pg/mL,P < 0.05,respectively),while there was no significant difference between both groups regarding serum creatinine(0.83 ± 0.34 vs 0.89 ± 0.24,P > 0.05).On the other hand,serum leptin was not correlated with serum adiponectin in group Ⅰ and in group Ⅱ(r = 0.09,P > 0.05,and r =-0.1,P > 0.05,respectively).However,serum adiponectin was significantly negatively correlated with serum aspartate transaminase in group Ⅰ,but no correlation detected in group Ⅱ(r =-0.39,P > 0.05,and r =-0.03,P > 0.05).CONCLUSION:In male patients with chronic HCV-4,serum adiponectin levels are elevated in hepatic fibrosis,but decreased in steatosis.Therefore,in contrast to leptin,adiponectin may be used as a non-invasive marker.Tarek E Korah Sawsan El-Sayed Maathir K ElShafie Ghada E Hammoda Manal A Safan 2013World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,2:7
6Effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on hepatocellular carcinoma: In vitro inhibition of carcinogenesis显示文摘AIM To investigate the effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells(ADMSCs)and their conditioned media(CM) on hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell tumorigenesis.METHODS The proliferation rate of HepG2 and PLC-PRF-5 HCC cancer cells was measured using the trypan blue exclusion method and confirmed using the cell-counting kit8(commonly known as CCK-8) assay. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry using annexin V-FITC. Protein and mRNA expression was quantified by ELISA and real time PCR, respectively. Migration and invasion rates were performed by Transwell migration and invasion assays. Wound healing was examined to confirm the data obtained from the migration assays.RESULTS Our data demonstrated that when co-culturing HCC cell lines with ADMSCs or treating them with ADMSC CM, the HCC cell proliferation rate was significantly inhibited and the apoptosis rate increased. The decreased proliferation rate was accompanied by an upregulation of P53 and Retinoblastoma mRNA and a downregulation of c-Myc and hTERT mRNA levels. More notably, ADMSCs and their CM suppressed the expression of the two important markers of HCC carcinogenicity, alpha-fetoprotein and Des-gamma-carboxyprothrombin. In addition, the migration and invasion levels of HepG2 and PLC-PRF-5 cells significantly decreased, potentially through increased expression of the tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3.CONCLUSION These findings shed new light on a protective and therapeutic role for ADMSCs and their CM in controlling HCC invasiveness and carcinogenesis.Rim Serhal Nagib Saliba George Hilal Mayssam Moussa Ghada S Hassan Oula El Atat Nada Alaaeddine 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,5:6
7Aqueous extracts of microalgae exhibit antioxidant and anticancer activities显示文摘Objective:To investigate the antioxidant and anticancer activities of aqueous extracts of nine microalgal species.Methods:Variable percentages of major secondary metabolites(total phenolic content,terpenoids and alkaloids) as well as phycobiliprotein pigments(phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin) in the aqueous algal extracts were recorded.Antioxidant activity of the algal extracts was performed using 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) test and 2,2'azino-bis(ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid(ABTS.) radical cation assay.Anticancer efficiency of the algal water extracts was investigated against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma cell(EACC) and Human hepatocellular cancer cell line(HepG2).Results:Antioxidant activity of the algal extracts was performed using DPPH test and ABTS.^+ radical cation assays which revealed 30.1-72.4%and 32.0-75.9%respectively.Anticancer efficiency of the algal water extracts was investigated against Ehdich Ascites Carcinoma Cell(EACC) and Human Hepatocellular cancer cell line(HepG2) with an activity ranged 87.25%and 89.4%respectively.Culturing the promising cyanobacteria species;Nostoc muscorum and Oscillatoria sp.under nitrogen stress conditions(increasing and decreasing nitrate content of the normal BG11 medium,1.5 g/L),increased nitrate concentration(3,6 and 9 g/L) led to a remarkable increase in phycobilin pigments followed by an increase in both antioxidant and anticancer activities in both cyanobacterial species.While the decreased nitrate concentration(0.75,0.37 and 0.0 g/L) induced an obvious decrease in phycobilin pigments with complete absence of allophycocyanin in case of Oscillatoria sp.Conclusions:Nitrogen starvation(0.00 g/L nitrate) induced an increase and comparable antioxidant and anticancer activities to those cultured in the highest nitrate content.Sanaa MM Shanab Soha SM Mostafa Emad A Shalaby Ghada I Mahmoud 2012Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2012,2,8:6
8The effect of platform switching on the levels of metal ion release from different implant–abutment couples显示文摘The improved peri-implant bone response demonstrated by platform switching may be the result of reduced amounts of metal ions released to the surrounding tissues. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of metal ions released from platform-matched and platform-switched implant–abutment couples as a result of accelerated corrosion. Thirty-six titanium alloy(Ti-6Al-4V) and cobalt–chrome alloy abutments were coupled with titanium cylinders forming either platform-switched or platform-matched groups(n = 6). In addition, 18 unconnected samples served as controls. The specimens were subjected to accelerated corrosion by static immersion in 1% lactic acid for 1 week. The amount of metal ions ion of each test tube was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) images and energy dispersive spectroscopy X-ray analyses were performed pre- and post-immersion to assess corrosion at the interface. The platform-matched groups demonstrated higher ion release for vanadium, aluminium, cobalt, chrome, and molybdenum compared with the platform-switched groups(Po0.05). Titanium was the highest element to be released regardless of abutment size or connection(Po0.05). SEM images showed pitting corrosion prominent on the outer borders of the implant and abutment platform surfaces. In conclusion, implant–abutment couples underwent an active corrosion process resulting in metal ions release into the surrounding environment. The highest amount of metal ions released was recorded for the platform-matched groups, suggesting that platform-switching concept has a positive effect in reducing the levels of metal ion release from the implant–abutment couples.Ghada O Alrabeah Jonathan C Knowles Haralampos Petridis 2016International Journal of Oral Science2016,8,2:5

10Serum complement C4a and its relation to liver fibrosis in children with chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM:To evaluate serum complement C4a and its relation to liver fibrosis in children with chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection.METHODS:The study included 30 children with chronic HCV infection before receiving antiviral therapy.Chronic HCV infection was defined by positive anti-HCV,a positive polymerase chain reaction for HCV-RNA for more than 6 mo with absence of any associated liver disease.A second group of 30 age-and sex-matched healthy children served as controls.Serum C4a levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Liver fibrosis stage and inflammatory grade were assessed using Ishak scoring system.Serum C4a levels were compared according to different clinical,laboratory and histopathological parameters.Statistical significance for quantitative data was tested by MannWhitney U non-parametric tests.For qualitative data,significance between groups was tested by 2test.Correlation was tested by Spearman’s test.Results were considered significant if P value≤0.05.RESULTS:The age of the patients ranged from 3.5to 18 years and that of controls ranged from 4 to 17years.C4a mean levels were merely lower in patients(153.67±18.69 mg/L)than that in the controls(157.25±11.40 mg/L)with no statistical significance(P=0.378).It did not differ significantly in patients with elevated vs those with normal transaminases(152.25±16.62 vs 155.36±21.33;P=0.868)or with different HCV viremia(P=0.561).Furthermore,there was no statistical significant difference in serum levels between those with no/mild fibrosis and those with moderate fibrosis(154.65±20.59 vs 152.97±17.72;P=0.786)or minimal and mild activity(155.1±21.93 vs 152.99±17.43;P=0.809).Though statistically not significant,C4a was highest in fibrosis score 0(F0),decreasing in F1 and F2 to be the lowest in F3.When comparing significant fibrosis(Ishak score≥3)vs other stages,C4a was significantly lower in F3 compared to other fibrosis scores(143.55±2.33 mg/L vs 155.26±19.64 mg/L;P=0.047)and at a cutoff value of less than 144.01 mg/L,C4a could discriminate F3 with 76.9%sensitivity and75%specificity from other stages of fibrosis.CONCLUSION:Serum complement C4a did not correlate with any of transaminases,HCV viremia or with the histopathological scores.Although C4a decreased with higher stages of fibrosis,this change was not significant enough to predict individual stages of fibrosis.Yet,it could predict significant fibrosis with acceptable clinical performance.Behairy E Behairy Ghada M El-Mashad Ragab S Abd-Elghany Enas M Ghoneim Mostafa M Sira 2013World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,8:4
11Annexin A2 as a biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma in Egyptian patients显示文摘AIM To investigate the clinical utility of serum annexin A2(ANXA2) as a diagnostic marker for early hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS This study was performed in HCC Clinic of Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt and included: Group 1: Fifty patients with early stage HCC(Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage A); Group 2: Twenty five patients with chronic liver disease; and Control Group: Fifteen healthy, age-and sex-matched subjects who were seronegative for viral hepatitis markers. The followinglaboratory investigations were done: Viral hepatitis markers [hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis C virus(HCV) antibodies], HCV RNA in HCV antibody-positive patients, serum alpha fetoprotein(AFP), and serum ANXA2 levels.RESULTS In this study, 88% of HCC patients(n = 44) were HCVpositive, while HBV infection represented only 8% of all HCC patients(n = 4); and two patients were negative for both viral markers. A highly significant difference was found between patients with HCC and chronic liver disease as well as controls with regard to serum ANXA2 levels(130, IQR 15-240; 15, IQR 15-17; and 17, IQR 15-30 ng/m L, respectively). The area under the curve of ANXA2 was 0.865; the cut-off value was established to be 18 ng/mL with a diagnostic sensitivity of 74% and a specificity of 88%, while the sensitivity and specificity of AFP at the cut-off value of 200 ng/dL were 20% and 100%, respectively.CONCLUSION Serum ANXA2 may serve as a biomarker for the early detection of HCC.Mohamed K Shaker Hanzada I Abdel Fattah Ghada S Sabbour Iman F Montasser Sara M Abdelhakam Eman El Hadidy Rehab Yousry Ahmed K El Dorry 2017World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,9:4
12Self-compatibility in peach[Prunus persica(L.)Batsch]:patterns of diversity surrounding the S-locus and analysis of SFB alleles显示文摘Self-incompatibility(SI)to self-compatibility(SC)transition is one of the most frequent and prevalent evolutionary shifts in flowering plants.Prunus L.(Rosaceae)is a genus of over 200 species most of which exhibit a Gametophytic SI system.Peach[Prunus persica(L.)Batsch;2n=16]is one of the few exceptions in the genus known to be a fully selfcompatible species.However,the evolutionary process of the complete and irreversible loss of SI in peach is not well understood and,in order to fill that gap,in this study 24 peach accessions were analyzed.Pollen tube growth was controlled in self-pollinated flowers to verify their self-compatible phenotypes.The linkage disequilibrium association between alleles at the S-locus and linked markers at the end of the sixth linkage group was not significant(P>0.05),except with the closest markers suggesting the absence of a signature of negative frequency dependent selection at the S-locus.Analysis of SFB1 and SFB2 protein sequences allowed identifying the absence of some variable and hypervariable domains and the presence of additionalα-helices at the C-termini.Molecular and evolutionary analysis of SFB nucleotide sequences showed a signature of purifying selection in SFB2,while the SFB1 seemed to evolve neutrally.Thus,our results show that the SFB2 allele diversified after P.persica and P.dulcis(almond)divergence,a period which is characterized by an important bottleneck,while SFB1 diversified at a transition time between the bottleneck and population expansion.Donia Abdallah Ghada Baraket Veronica Perez Amel Salhi Hannachi Jose I.Hormaza 2020Horticulture Research2020,7,1:3
13M2BPGi for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis C treated with direct-acting antivirals显示文摘BACKGROUND Assessing liver fibrosis is important for predicting the efficacy of direct-acting antivirals(DAAs)and patient prognosis.Non-invasive techniques to assess liver fibrosis are becoming important.Recently,serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer(M2BPGi)was identified as a non-invasive marker of liver fibrosis.AIM To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of M2BPGi in assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C(CHC)treated with DAAs.METHODS From December 2017 to August 2018,80 treatment-naive adult patients with CHC who were eligible for DAAs therapy were consecutively enrolled in this observational cohort study.For 12 weeks,65 patients were treated with sofosbuvir/daclatasvir,and 15 patients were treated with sofosbuvir/daclatasvir and a weight-based dose of ribavirin at knowledge and technology association for hepatitis C management clinic,Cairo,Egypt.We measured serum M2BPGi levels,PAPAS index,fibrosis-4(FIB-4)score and liver stiffness measurements(LSM)at baseline and 12 weeks after the end of treatment.Serum M2BPGi levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS All patients achieved sustained virologic response(SVR12)(100%).Serum M2BPGi levels,LSM,FIB-4 score and PAPAS index decreased significantly at SVR12(P<0.05).Serum M2BPGi levels correlated positively with LSM at baseline and SVR12(P<0.001).At baseline,compared with the FIB-4 score and PAPAS index,M2BPGi was the best marker to distinguish patients with grade F4 fibrosis(AUC=0.801,P<0.001),patients with grade F2 from grade F0-1 fibrosis(AUC=0.713,P=0.012),patients with grade F3-4 from grade F0-2 fibrosis(AUC=0.730,P<0.001),and patients with grade F2-4 from grade F0-1 fibrosis(AUC=0.763,P<0.001).At SVR12,M2BPGi had the greatest AUCs for differentiating patients with grade F4 fibrosis(AUC=0.844,P<0.001),patients with grade F3 from grade F0-2 fibrosis(AUC=0.893,P=0.002),patients with grade F3-4 from grade F0-2 fibrosis(AUC=0.891,P<0.001),and patients with grade F2-4 from grade F0-1 fibrosis(AUC=0.750,P<0.001).CONCLUSION M2BPGi is a reliable marker for the non-invasive assessment and prediction of liver fibrosis regression in patients with CHC who achieved an SVR with DAAs therapy.Shereen A Saleh Mohamed M Salama Marwan M Alhusseini Ghada A Mohamed 2020World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,21:3
143D assessment of intervertebral disc degeneration in zebrafish identifies changes in bone density that prime disc disease显示文摘Back pain is a common condition with a high social impact and represents a global health burden.Intervertebral disc disease(IVDD)is one of the major causes of back pain;no therapeutics are currently available to reverse this disease.The impact of bone mineral density(BMD)on IVDD has been controversial,with some studies suggesting osteoporosis as causative for IVDD and others suggesting it as protective for IVDD.Functional studies to evaluate the influence of genetic components of BMD in IVDD could highlight opportunities for drug development and repurposing.By taking a holistic 3D approach,we established an aging zebrafish model for spontaneous IVDD.Increased BMD in aging,detected by automated computational analysis,is caused by bone deformities at the endplates.However,aged zebrafish spines showed changes in bone morphology,microstructure,mineral heterogeneity,and increased fragility that resembled osteoporosis.Elements of the discs recapitulated IVDD symptoms found in humans:the intervertebral ligament(equivalent to the annulus fibrosus)showed disorganized collagen fibers and herniation,while the disc center(nucleus pulposus equivalent)showed dehydration and cellular abnormalities.We manipulated BMD in young zebrafish by mutating sp7 and cathepsin K,leading to low and high BMD,respectively.Remarkably,we detected IVDD in both groups,demonstrating that low BMD does not protect against IVDD,and we found a strong correlation between high BMD and IVDD.Deep learning was applied to high-resolution synchrotron\iCJ image data to analyze osteocyte 3D lacunar distribution and morphology,revealing a role of sp7 in controlling the osteocyte lacunar 3D profile.Our findings suggest potential avenues through which bone quality can be targeted to identify beneficial therapeutics for IVDD.Erika Kague Francesco Turci Elis Newman Yushi Yang Kate Robson Brown Mona S.Aglan Ghada A.Otaify Sarnia A.Temtamy Victor L.Ruiz-Perez Stephen Cross C.Patrick Royall P.Eckhard Witten Chrissy L.Hammond 2021Bone Research2021,9,4:2

16Regular arrangement of collecting venules:Does patient age affect its accuracy?显示文摘AIM:To address the diagnostic value of the regular arrangement of collecting venules(RAC)among old age patients. METHODS:A total of 390 consecutive patients whose Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)status was known and who received upper gastrointestinal endoscopy,were retrospectively studied for the presence or absence of RAC as well as gastric mucosal atrophy.The sensitivity, specificity,positive predictive value,negative predic-tive value and accuracy of RAC to detect normal gastric mucosa were assessed and were compared among two different age groups of patients. RESULTS:The mean age±standard deviation(SD)of included patients(n=390),was 62.9±13 years.The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of RAC to detect normal gastric mucosa were 91.7%,66.1%,18.8%,99%and 68.1%respectively.Although the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of RAC among patients<60 years(n= 139)was 94.7%,71.2%,46.2%,98.1%and 76.1%,respectively,it was 80%,64.3%,5.1%,93%and 64.6%, respectively,among patients≥60 years(n=251). Younger Patients(<60 years),have highly significant rates of RAC sensitivity,positive predictive value,and accuracy(P≤0.001,≤0.001 and≤0.02,respectively).Older patients had highly significant rates of H. pylori infection and gastric mucosal atrophy(P≤0.01). CONCLUSION:Although RAC is a valuable sign for real-time identification of normal gastric mucosa,its accuracy seems to be affected by the patient's age.Alshimaa Alaboudy Ashraf Elbahrawy Shigemi Matsumoto Ghada M Galal Tsutomu Chiba 2011World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2011,3,6:2
