| 2 | Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells as treatment of adjuvant rheumatoid arthritis in a rat model显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of human umbilical cord stem cells,both mesenchymal and hematopoietic(CD34+),in the treatment of arthritis.METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) and hematopoietic(CD34+) stem cells(HSC) were isolated from human umbilical cord blood obtained from the umbilical cord of healthy pregnant donors undergoing fullterm normal vaginal delivery.MSC,HSC,methotrexate(MTX) and sterile saline were injected intra-articularly into the rat hindpaw with complete freunds adjuvant(CFA) induced arthritis after the onset of disease(day 34),when arthritis had become well established(arthritis score ≥ 2).Arthritic indices were evaluated and the levels of interleukin(IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interferon(IFN)-γ and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in serum were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Animals of all groups were sacrificed 34 d after beginning treatment,except positive control(PC) which was sacrificed at 10,21 and 34 d for microscopic observation of disease progression.We used hematoxylin,eosin and Masson's trichrome stains for histopathological examination of cartilage and synovium.RESULTS:The mean arthritis scores were similar in all groups at 12 and 34 d post immunization,with no statistical significant difference.Upon the injection of stem cells(hematopoietic and mesenchymal),the overall arthritis signs were significantly improved around 21 d after receiving the injection and totally disappeared at day 34 post treatment in MSC group.Mean hindpaw diameter(mm) in the MSC rats was about half that of the PC and MTX groups(P = 0.007 and P = 0.021,respectively) and 0.6 mm less than the HSC group(P = 0.047),as indicated by paw swelling.Associated with these findings,serum levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-1 decreased significantly in HSC and MSC groups compared to PC and MTX groups(P < 0.05),while the expression of IL-10 was increased.Histopathological examination with H and E stain revealed that the MTX treated group showed significant reduction of leucocytic infiltrate and hypertrophy of the synovial tissue with moderate obliteration of the joint cavity.Stem cells treated groups(both hematopoietic CD34+ and mesenchymal),showed significant reduction in leucocytic infiltrate and hypertrophy of the synovial tissue with mild obliteration of the joint cavity.With Masson's trichrome,stain sections from the PC group showed evidence of vascular edema of almost all vessels within the synovium in nearly all arthritic rats.Vacuoles were also visible in the outer vessel wall.The vessel became hemorrhagic and finally necrotic.In addition,there was extensive fibrosis completely obliterating the joint cavity.The mean color area percentage of collagen in this group was 0.324 ± 0.096,which was significantly increased when compared to the negative control group.The mean color area percentage of collagen in hematopoietic CD34+ and mesenchymal groups was 0.176 ± 0.0137 and 0.174 ± 0.0197 respectively,which showed a marked decrement compared to the PC group,denoting a mild increase in synovial tissue collagen fibers.CONCLUSION:MSC enhance the efficacy of CFAinduced arthritis treatment,most likely through the modulation of the expression of cytokines and amelioration of pathological changes in joints. | Sahar Greish Noha Abogresha Zeinab Abdel-Hady Eman Zakaria Mona Ghaly Mohamed Hefny | 2012 | World Journal of Stem Cells2012，4，10： | 17 |
| 3 | Prevalence and predictors of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in South Asian women with polycystic ovary syndrome显示文摘BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary disease(PCOS)may be a risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)due to common pathogenetic pathways,including insulin resistance and obesity.Both PCOS and NAFLD are more severe in South Asian women.Data on NAFLD in South Asian women with PCOS are lacking.AIM To investigate prevalence and predictors of NAFLD and liver fibrosis in PCOS patients from South Asia.METHODS We conducted an observational routine screening program by means of transient elastography(TE)with associated controlled attenuation parameter(CAP).NAFLD was defined as CAP≥288 decibels per meter.Significant liver fibrosis(stage 2 and higher out of 4)was defined as TE measurement≥8.0 kilopascals.Elevated alanine aminotransferase(ALT)was defined as ALT>24 IU/L,as per upper limit of normal reported in South Asian women.Biochemical hyperandrogenism was defined as free androgen index>5.Predictors of NAFLD were determined by logistic regression analysis.RESULTS 101 PCOS patients(mean age 36.3 years)with no significant alcohol intake or viral hepatitis were included.Prevalence of NAFLD and significant liver fibrosis was 39.6% and 6.9%,respectively.Elevated ALT was observed in 40%and 11.5%of patients with and without NAFLD,respectively.After adjusting for duration of PCOS and insulin resistance measured by homeostasis model for assessment of insulin resistance,independent predictors of NAFLD were higher body mass index[adjusted odds ratio(aOR)1.30,95% confidence interval(CI):1.13-1.52],hyperandrogenism(aOR:5.32,95%CI:1.56-18.17)and elevated ALT(aOR:3.54,95%CI:1.10-11.47).Lifetime cardiovascular risk was higher in patients with NAFLD compared to those without NAFLD(0.31±0.11 vs 0.26±0.13).CONCLUSION Despite their young age,NAFLD diagnosed by TE with CAP is a frequent comorbidity in South Asian women with PCOS and is strongly associated with higher body mass index and hyperandrogenism.Non-invasive screening strategies could help early diagnosis and initiation of interventions,including counselling on weight loss,cardiovascular risk stratification and linkage to hepatology care where appropriate. | Mohamed Shengir Srinivasan Krishnamurthy Peter Ghali Marc Deschenes Philip Wong Tianyan Chen Giada Sebastiani | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，44： | 11 |
| 4 | Recent advances in arsenic trioxide encapsulated nanoparticles as drug delivery agents to solid cancers显示文摘Since arsenic trioxide was first approved as the front line therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia 25 years ago,its anti-cancer properties for various malignancies have been under intense investigation.However,the clinical successes of arsenic trioxide in treating hematological cancers have not been translated to solid cancers.This is due to arsenic's rapid clearance by the body's immune system before reaching the tumor site.Several attempts have henceforth been made to increase its bioavailability toward solid cancers without increasing its dosage albeit without much success.This review summarizes the past and current utilization of arsenic trioxide in the medical field with primary focus on the implementation of nanotechnology for arsenic trioxide delivery to solid cancer cells.Different approaches that have been employed to increase arsenic's efficacy,specificity and bioavailability to solid cancer cells were evaluated and compared.The potential of combining different approaches or tailoring delivery vehicles to target specific types of solid cancers according to individual cancer characteristics and arsenic chemistry is proposed and discussed. | Anam Akhtar Scarlet Xiaoyan Wang Lucy Ghali Celia Bell Xuesong Wen | 2017 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2017，31，3： | 10 |
| 5 | Nafamostat mesylate attenuates the pathophysiologic sequelae of neurovascular ischemia显示文摘Nafamostat mesylate,an apparent soi-disant panacea of sorts,is widely used to anticoagulate patients undergoing hemodialysis or cardiopulmonary bypass,mitigate the inflammatory response in patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis,and reverse the coagulopathy of patients experiencing the commonly preterminal disseminated intravascular coagulation in the Far East.The serine protease inhibitor nafamostat mesylate exhibits significant neuroprotective effects in the setting of neurovascular ischemia.Nafamostat mesylate generates neuroprotective effects by attenuating the enzymatic activity of serine proteases,neuroinflammatory signaling cascades,and the endoplasmic reticulum stress responses,downregulating excitotoxic transient receptor membrane channel subfamily 7 cationic currents,modulating the activity of intracellular signal transduction pathways,and supporting neuronal survival brain-derived neurotrophic factor/TrkB/ERK1/2/CREB,nuclear factor kappa B.The effects collectively reduce neuronal necrosis and apoptosis and prevent ischemia mediated disruption of blood-brain barrier microarchitecture.Investigational clinical applications of these compounds may mitigate ischemic reperfusion injury in patients undergoing cardiac,hepatic,renal,or intestinal transplant,preventing allograft rejection,and treating solid organ malignancies.Neuroprotective effects mediated by nafamostat mesylate support the wise conduct of randomized prospective controlled trials in Western countries to evaluate the clinical utility of this compound. | George Zaki Ghali Michael George Zaki Ghali | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020，15，12： | 4 |

| 9 | Higher infliximab and adalimumab trough levels are associated with fistula healing in patients with fistulising perianal Crohn’s disease显示文摘BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors,including infliximab and adalimumab,are effective medical treatments for perianal fistulising Crohn’s disease(CD),but not all patients achieve fistula healing.AIM To determine the correlation between perianal fistula healing and closure with infliximab and adalimumab trough levels.METHODS In this multicentre retrospective study conducted across four tertiary inflammatory bowel disease centres in Australia,we identified CD patients with perianal fistulae on maintenance infliximab or adalimumab who had a trough level within twelve weeks of clinical assessment.Data collected included demographics,serum infliximab and adalimumab trough levels(mg/L)within 12 wk before or after their most recent clinical assessment and concomitant medical or surgical therapy.The primary outcome was fistula healing,defined as cessation in fistula drainage.The secondary outcome was fistula closure,defined as healing and closure of all external fistula openings.Differences between patients who did or did not achieve fistula healing were compared using the chi-square test,t test or Mann-Whitney U test.RESULTS One hundred and fourteen patients(66 infliximab,48 adalimumab)were included.Forty-eight(72.7%)patients on maintenance infliximab achieved fistula healing and 18(27.3%)achieved fistula closure.Thirty-seven(77%)patients on maintenance adalimumab achieved fistula healing and 17(35.4%)achieved fistula closure.Patients who achieved fistula healing had significantly higher infliximab and adalimumab trough levels than patients who did not[infliximab:6.4(3.8-9.5)vs 3.0(0.3-6.2)mg/L,P=0.003;adalimumab:9.2(6.5-12.0)vs 5.4(2.5-8.3)mg/L,P=0.004].For patients on infliximab,fistula healing was associated with lower rates of detectable anti-infliximab antibodies and younger age.For patients on adalimumab,fistula healing was associated with higher rates of combination therapy with an immunomodulator.Serum trough levels for patients with and without fistula closure were not significantly different for infliximab[6.9(4.3-10.2)vs 5.5(2.5-8.3)mg/L,P=0.105]or adalimumab[10.0(6.6-12.0)vs 7.8(4.2-10.0)mg/L,P=0.083].CONCLUSION Higher maintenance infliximab and adalimumab trough levels are associated with perianal fistula healing in CD. | Bonita Gu Kavya Venkatesh Astrid-Jane Williams Watson Ng Crispin Corte Ali Gholamrezaei Simon Ghaly Wei Xuan Sudarshan Paramsothy Susan Connor | 2022 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2022，28，23： | 2 |
| 10 | Effect of Microalloying Additions on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Low Carbon Steel显示文摘Low carbon steels are characterized by good weldability,formability and fracture toughness properties.However,the low strength levels of these steel grades limit their wide applications.On the other hand,increasing the strength by increasing the carbon content and alloying elements deteriorates the other properties.In this study,the microalloying technique was used to examine the possibility of attaining low carbon steels with good combination of strength,ductility and impact properties.A low carbon steel microalloyed with single addition of vanadium and another one microalloyed with combined addition of vanadium and titanium were used in this investigation and their properties were compared with non-microalloyed low carbon steel having the same base composition.Furthermore,other two nonmicroalloyed and V-microalloyed steels with higher carbon,silicon and manganese contents were also investigated to reveal the effect of base composition.Tensile,hardness,room and zero temperature Charpy V-notch impact tests were conducted to evaluate the variations in the mechanical properties of low carbon hot forged steel containing vanadium and combinations of vanadium and titanium.In addition,the microstructures of the different investigated steels were observed using both optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.Furthermore,the hardness of the ferrite phase was also determined using micro-hardness technique.The results showed improvement of the mechanical properties of the investigated steels by both single V-and combined V + Ti-microadditions.Tensile,hardness and impact tests results indicated that good combinations of strength,ductility and impact properties can be achieved by V-microalloying addition.Steel with combination of V and Ti microaddition has much higher hardness,yield strength,ultimate tensile strength and impact energy at both room and zero temperatures compared with non-microalloyed and single Vmicroalloyed steels.Higher C,Si and Mn contents result in increasing the strength accompanied with decreasing the impact energy.Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy studies revealed grain refinement effect of both Vand V+Ti-microadditions.The micro-hardness measurements of the ferrite phase confirmed the precipitation strengthening effect of microalloying elements. | EISSA Mamdouh ABD El-Aziz Ahmed GHALI Saeed HALFA Hossam SABER Shady | 2011 | Journal of Iron and Steel Research(International)2011，18，S1： | 2 |

| 14 | Vedolizumab for ulcerative colitis: Real world outcomes from a multicenter observational cohort of Australia and Oxford显示文摘BACKGROUND Vedolizumab(VDZ),a humanised monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits alpha4-beta7 integrins is approved for use in adult moderate to severe ulcerative colitis(UC)patients.AIM To assess the efficacy and safety of VDZ in the real-world management of UC in a large multicenter cohort involving two countries and to identify predictors of achieving remission.METHODS A retrospective review of Australian and Oxford,United Kingdom data for UC patients.Clinical response at 3 mo,endoscopic remission at 6 mo and clinical remission at 3,6 and 12 mo were assessed.Cox regression models and Kaplan Meier curves were performed to assess the time to remission,time to failure and the covariates influencing them.Safety outcomes were recorded.RESULTS Three hundred and three UC patients from 14 centres in Australia and United Kingdom,[60%n=182,anti-TNF naïve]were included.The clinical response was 79%at 3 mo with more Australian patients achieving clinical response compared to Oxford(83%vs 70%P=0.01).Clinical remission for all patients was 56%,62%and 60%at 3,6 and 12 mo respectively.Anti-TNF naive patients were more likely to achieve remission than exposed patients at all the time points(3 mo 66%vs 40%P<0.001,6 mo 73%vs 46%P<0.001,12 mo 66%vs 51%P=0.03).More Australian patients achieved endoscopic remission at 6 mo compared to Oxford(69%vs 43%P=0.01).On multi-variate analysis,anti-TNF naïve patients were 1.8(95%CI:1.3-2.3)times more likely to achieve remission than anti-TNF exposed(P<0.001).32 patients(11%)had colectomy by 12 mo.CONCLUSION VDZ was safe and effective with 60%of UC patients achieving clinical remission at 12 mo and prior anti-TNF exposure influenced this outcome. | Samba Siva Reddy Pulusu Ashish Srinivasan Krupa Krishnaprasad Daniel Cheng Jakob Begun CharlotteKeung Daniel Van Langenberg Lena Thin Tamara Mogilevski Peter De Cruz Graham Radford-Smith Emma Flanagan Sally Bell Soleiman Kashkooli Miles Sparrow Simon Ghaly Peter Bampton Elise Sawyer Susan Connor Quart-ul-ain Rizvi Jane M Andrews Gillian Mahy Paola Chivers Simon Travis Ian Craig Lawrance | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，30： | 2 |
| 15 | The crossed phrenic phenomenon显示文摘The cervical spine is the most common site of traumatic vertebral column injuries. Respiratory insufficiency constitutes a significant proportion of the morbidity burden and is the most common cause of mortality in these patients. In seeking to enhance our capacity to treat specifically the respiratory dysfunction following spinal cord injury, investigators have studied the 'crossed phrenic phenomenon', wherein contraction of a hemidiaphragm paralyzed by a complete hemisection of the ipsilateral cervical spinal cord above the phrenic nucleus can be induced by respiratory stressors and recovers spontaneously over time. Strengthening of latent contralateral projections to the phrenic nucleus and sprouting of new descending axons have been proposed as mechanisms contributing to the observed recovery. We have recently demonstrated recovery of spontaneous crossed phrenic activity occurring over minutes to hours in C_1-hemisected unanesthetized decerebrate rats. The specific neurochemical and molecular pathways underlying crossed phrenic activity following injury require further clarification. A thorough understanding of these is necessary in order to develop targeted therapies for respiratory neurorehabilitation following spinal trauma. Animal studies provide preliminary evidence for the utility of neuropharmacological manipulation of serotonergic and adenosinergic pathways, nerve grafts, olfactory ensheathing cells, intraspinal microstimulation and a possible role for dorsal rhizotomy in recovering phrenic activity following spinal cord injury. | Michael George Zaki Ghali | 2017 | Neural Regeneration Research2017，12，6： | 2 |
