| 1 | Diagnostic value of AFP-L3 and PIVKA-Ⅱin hepatocellular carcinoma according to total-AFP显示文摘AIM:To evaluate diagnostic value ofα-fetoprotein (AFP)-L3 and prothrombin induced by vitamin K absence-Ⅱ(PIVKA-Ⅱ)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). METHODS:One hundred and sixty-eight patients during routine HCC surveillance were included in this study.Of the 168 patients,90(53.6%)had HCC including newly developed HCC(n=82)or recurrent HCC after treatment(n=8).Sera were obtained during their first evaluation for HCC development and at the time of HCC diagnosis before commencing HCC treatment.HCC was diagnosed by histological examination,appropriate imaging characteristics-computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Control sera were collected from 78 patients with benign liver disease(BLD),which were obtained during routine surveillance with a suspicion of HCC.AFP,AFP-L3 and PIVKA-Ⅱwere measured in the same serum by microchip capillary electrophoresis and liquid-phase binding assay on a micro-total analysis system Wako i30 auto analyzer.The performance characteristics of three tests and combined tests for the diagnosis of HCC were obtained using receiver operating characteristic curves in all populations and subgroups with AFP<20 ng/mL. RESULTS:Of 90 HCC patients,38(42.2%)patients had AFP<20 ng/mL,20(22.2%)patients had AFP 20-200 ng/mL and 32(35.6%)patients had AFP>200 ng/mL.Of the 78 BLD patients,74(94.9%)patients had AFP<20 ng/mL.After adjustment for age and HBV infection status,AFP-L3 levels were higher in HCC than in BLD among patients with low AFP levels(<20 ng/mL)(P<0.001).In a total of 168 patients,areas under the curve(AUC)for HCC were 0.879,0.887,0.801 and 0.939 for AFP,AFP-L3,PIVKA-Ⅱand the combined markers,respectively.The combined AUC for three markers showed higher value than the AUCs of individual marker(P<0.05).AFP-L3 had higher AUC value than PIVKA-Ⅱfor HCC detection in entire patients(P =0.043).With combination of AFP-L3(cut-off>5%) and PIVKA-Ⅱ(cut-off>40 AU/L),the sensitivity were 94.4%and specificity were 75.6%in all patients.In 112 patients with low AFP levels(<20 ng/mL),AUCs of AFP-L3,PIVKA-Ⅱand combine AFP-L3 and PIVKA-Ⅱtests were 0.824,0.774 and 0.939,respectively. AFP-L3 with a cut-off value of 5%showed sensitivity of 71.1%and specificity of 83.8%,and PIVKA-Ⅱwith a cut-off value of 40 AU/L had sensitivity of 57.9%and specificity of 95.9%in patients with low AFP levels. The combination of AFP-L3 and PIVKA-Ⅱincreased the sensitivity and specificity up to 92.1%and 79.7%, respectively,in low AFP group.Combined markers detected 81.8%of early stage HCC(Union for Inter-national Cancer Control stageⅠ),86.7%of small sized tumor(<2 cm)and 91.7%of single tumor of HCC in the low AFP group.In multivariate analysis,AFP-L3 was correlated with AFP and tumor size,and PIVKA-Ⅱwas correlated with laboratory tests including serum aspartate aminotransferase,total bilirubin,platelets and albumin levels.PIVKA-Ⅱhad no correlation with AFP,AFP-L3 or tumor characteristics. CONCLUSION:Combined determination of AFP-L3 and PIVKA-Ⅱcould improve the diagnostic value for HCC detection in patients with or without increased AFP levels. | Jong Young Choi Seung Won Jung Hee Yeon Kim Myungshin Kim Yonggoo Kim Dong Goo Kim Eun-Jee Oh | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,3: | 55 |

| 6 | Petawatt and exawatt class lasers worldwide显示文摘In the 2015 review paper‘Petawatt Class Lasers Worldwide’a comprehensive overview of the current status of highpower facilities of>200 TW was presented.This was largely based on facility specifications,with some description of their uses,for instance in fundamental ultra-high-intensity interactions,secondary source generation,and inertial confinement fusion(ICF).With the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics being awarded to Professors Donna Strickland and Gerard Mourou for the development of the technique of chirped pulse amplification(CPA),which made these lasers possible,we celebrate by providing a comprehensive update of the current status of ultra-high-power lasers and demonstrate how the technology has developed.We are now in the era of multi-petawatt facilities coming online,with 100 PW lasers being proposed and even under construction.In addition to this there is a pull towards development of industrial and multi-disciplinary applications,which demands much higher repetition rates,delivering high-average powers with higher efficiencies and the use of alternative wavelengths:mid-IR facilities.So apart from a comprehensive update of the current global status,we want to look at what technologies are to be deployed to get to these new regimes,and some of the critical issues facing their development. | Colin N.Danson Constantin Haefner Jake Bromage Thomas Butcher Jean-Christophe FChanteloup Enam A.Chowdhury Almantas Galvanauskas Leonida A.Gizzi Joachim Hein David I.Hillier Nicholas W.Hopps Yoshiaki Kato Efim A.Khazanov Ryosuke Kodama Georg Korn Ruxin Li Yutong Li Jens Limpert Jingui Ma Chang Hee Nam David Neely Dimitrios Papadopoulos Rory R.Penman Liejia Qian Jorge J.Rocca andrey A.Shaykin Craig W.Siders Christopher Spindloe Sándor Szatmári Raoul M.G.M.Trines Jianqiang Zhu Ping Zhu Jonathan D.Zuegel | 2019 | High Power Laser Science and Engineering2019,7,3: | 33 |
| 7 | 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine:Not mere biomarker for oxidative stress,but remedy for oxidative stress-implicated gastrointestinal diseases显示文摘Reactive oxygen species (ROS) attack guanine bases in DNA easily and form 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG),which can bind to thymidine rather than cytosine,based on which,the level of 8-OHdG is gen-erally regarded as a biomarker of mutagenesis conse-quent to oxidative stress.For example,higher levels of 8-OHdG are noted in Helicobacter pylori-associated chronic atrophic gastritis as well as gastric cancer.However,we have found that exogenous 8-OHdG can paradoxically reduce ROS production,attenuate thenuclear factor-κB signaling pathway,and ameliorate the expression of proinflammatory mediators such as interleukin (IL)-1,IL-6,cyclo-oxygenase-2,and induc-ible nitric oxide synthase in addition to expression of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX)-1,NOX organizer-1 and NOX activator-1 in vari-ous conditions of inflammation-based gastrointestinal (GI) diseases including gastritis,inflammatory bowel disease,pancreatitis,and even colitis-associated carci-nogenesis.Our recent finding that exogenous 8-OHdG was very effective in either inflammation-based or oxidative-stress-associated diseases of stress-related mucosal damage has inspired the hope that synthetic 8-OHdG can be a potential candidate for the treatment of inflammation-based GI diseases,as well as the pre-vention of inflammation-associated GI cancer.In this editorial review,the novel fact that exogenous 8-OHdG can be a functional molecule regulating oxidative-stress-induced gastritis through either antagonizing Rac-guanosine triphosphate binding or blocking the signals responsible for gastric inflammatory cascade is introduced. | Chan-Young Ock Eun-Hee Kim Duck Joo Choi Ho Jae Lee Ki-Baik Hahm Myung Hee Chung | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,4: | 30 |

| 9 | Double guidewire technique vs transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy in difficult biliary cannulation显示文摘AIM:To compare the outcomes between doubleguidewire technique(DGT) and transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy(TPS) in patients with difficult biliary cannulation.METHODS:This was a prospective,randomized study conducted in single tertiary referral hospital in Korea.Between January 2005 and September 2010.A total of 71 patients,who bile duct cannulation was not possible and selective pancreatic duct cannulation was achieved,were randomized into DGT(n = 34) and TPS(n = 37) groups.DGT or TPS was done for selective biliary cannulation.We measured the technical success rates of biliary cannulation,median cannulation time,and procedure related complications.RESULTS:The distribution of patients after randomization was balanced,and both groups were comparable in baseline characteristics,except the higher percentage of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage in the DGT group(55.9% vs 13.5%,P < 0.001).Successful cannulation rate and mean cannulation times in DGT and TPS groups were 91.2% vs 91.9% and 14.1 ± 13.2 min vs 15.4 ± 17.9 min,P = 0.732,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two groups.The overall incidence of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) pancreatitis was 38.2% vs 10.8%,P < 0.011 in the DGT group and the TPS group;post-procedure pancreatitis was significantly higher in the DGT group.But the overall incidence of post-ERCP hyperamylasemia was no significant difference between the two groups;DGT group vs TPS group:14.7% vs 16.2%,P < 1.0.CONCLUSION:When free bile duct cannulation was difficult and selective pancreatic duct cannulation was achieved,DGT and TPS facilitated biliary cannulation and showed similar success rates.However,post-procedure pancreatitis was significantly higher in the DGT group. | Young Wook Yoo Sang-Woo Cha Woong Cheul Lee Sae Hee Kim Anna Kim Young Deok Cho | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 25 |
| 10 | Comparison of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy using an endoscopic linear stapler with laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy using a circular stapler in patients with gastric cancer: a single-center experience显示文摘AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy(TLTG) with esophagojejunostomy using a linear stapler compared with laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy(LATG) using a circular stapler in gastric cancer patients.METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 687 patients who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer at a single institution from August 2008 to August 2014. The patients were divided into two groups according to the type of operation: 421 patients underwent TLTG and 266 underwent LATG. Clinicopathologic characteristics and surgical outcomes in the two groups were compared and analyzed.RESULTS The TLTG group had higher mean ages at the time of operation(57.78 ± 11.20 years and 55.69 ± 11.96 years,P = 0.020) and more histories of abdominal surgery(20.2% and 12.4%,P = 0.008) compared with the LATG group. Surgical outcomes such as intraoperative and postoperative transfusions,combined operations,pain scores and administration of analgesics,and complications were similar between the two groups. However,compared with the LATG group,the TLTG group required a shorter operation time(149 min vs 170 min,P < 0.001),had lower postoperative hematocrit change(3.49% vs 4.04%,P = 0.002),less intraoperative events(3.1% vs 10.2%,P < 0.001),less intraoperative anastomosis events(2.4% vs 7.1%,P = 0.003),faster postoperative recovery such as median time to first flatus(3.30 d vs 3.60 d,P < 0.001),faster median commencement of soft diet(4.30 d vs 4.60 d,P < 0.001) and shorter length of postoperative hospital stay(6.75 d vs 7.02 d,P = 0.005). CONCLUSION The intracorporeal method for reconstruction of esophagojejunostomy using a linear stapler may be considered a feasible procedure comparing with extracorporeal anastomosis using circular stapler because TLTG is simpler and more straightforward than LATG. Therefore,TLTG can be recommended as an appropriate procedure for gastric cancer. | Chung Sik Gong Byung Sik Kim Hee Sung Kim | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,48: | 23 |
| 11 | Benefit of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma显示文摘AIM To clarify the role of neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy(NACCRT) followed by surgical resection for localized or locally advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma(CCA).METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 57 patients who underwent surgical resection with or without NACCRT for perihilar CCA; 12 patients received NACCRT and 45 patients did not received NACCRT. Patients with locally advanced perihilar CCA requiring NACCRT were defined as follows:(1) a mass involving unilateral branches of the portal vein or hepatic artery with insufficient volume of the anticipated remnant lobe; or(2) an infiltrating mass in the main portal vein that was too long for reconstruction, identified at preoperative staging. RESULTS The median disease-free survival(DFS) durations of the neoadjuvant and non-neoadjuvant CCRT groups were26.0 and 15.1 mo, respectively(P = 0.91). The median overall survival(OS) durations of the neoadjuvant and non-neoadjuvant CCRT groups were 32.9 and 27.1 mo, respectively(P = 0.26). The NACCRT group showed a downstaging tendency compared to the non-NACCRT group as compared with the tumor stage confirmed by histological examination after surgery and the tumor stage confirmed by imaging test at the time of diagnosis(P = 0.01). CONCLUSION NACCRT does not prolong DFS and OS in localized or locally advanced perihilar CCA. However, NACCRT may allow tumor downstaging and improve tumor resectability. | Jang Han Jung Hyun Jik Lee Hee Seung Lee Jung Hyun Jo In Rae Cho Moon Jae Chung Jeong Youp Park Seung Woo Park Si Young Song Seungmin Bang | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,18: | 21 |

| 13 | Radiotherapy as valid modality for hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis显示文摘Although the current standard treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombosis(PVTT) is sorafenib, many previous studies have established the need for a reliable local modality for PVTT control, which is a major cause of liver function deterioration and metastasis. Additionally, there is growing evidence for the prognostic significance of PVTT classification according to the location of tumor thrombosis. Favorable outcomes can be obtained by applying local modalities, including surgery or transarterial chemoembolization, especially in second-order or distal branch PVTT. Rapid control of PVTT could maintain or improve liver function and reduce intrahepatic as well as distant metastasis. Radiotherapy(RT) is one of the main locoregional treatment modalities in oncologic fields, but has rarely been used in HCC because of concerns regarding hepatic toxicity. However, with the development of advanced techniques, RT has been increasingly applied in HCC management. Randomized studies have yet to definitively prove the benefit of RT, but several comparative studies have justified the application of RT in HCC. The value of RT is especially noticeable in HCC with PVTT; several prospective and retrospective studies have reported favorable outcomes, including a 40% to 60% objective response rate and median overall survival of 15 mo to 20 mo in responders. In this review, we evaluate the role of RT as an alternative local modality in HCC with PVTT. | Jeong Il Yu Hee Chul Park | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,30: | 20 |
| 14 | Baseline HBV DNA level is the most important factor associated with virologic breakthrough in chronic hepatitis B treated with lamivudine显示文摘AIM: To identify the factors associated with virologic breakthrough and to select a subgroup of patients who respond well to lamivudine without developing virologic breakthrough (VBT). METHODS: Of 79 patients who had received lamivudine therapy for 9-57 mo, 34 were HBeAg-positive and 45 were HBeAg-negative, 24 developed virologic breakthrough and 55 did not. Clinical and virologic factors were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The median duration of therapy was 25 (9-57) mo. Virologic breakthrough was defined as a > 1 log HBV DNA increase following initial suppression. When several factors, including gender, duration of infection, baseline HBV DNA, and baseline ALT in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis patients were analyzed by logistic regression, the most important predictor of virologic breakthrough was the baseline HBV DNA (r2 = 0.12, P < 0.05). When HBeAg-postitive chronic hepatitis patients were divided into two groups by a point of 6.6 log HBV DNA, the incidence of virologic breakthough between two groups was significantly different. CONCLUSION: Lamivudine may remain an effective first line therapy for those HBeAg-positive patients with a baseline HBV DNA < 6.6 log10 copies/mL. | Hee Bok Chae Hie-Won Hann | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,30: | 19 |
| 15 | Sex-and gender-specific disparities in colorectal cancer risk显示文摘Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer morbidity both in men and in women.However,females over 65 years old show higher mortality and lower 5-year survival rate of colorectal cancer compared to their age-matched male counterparts.The objective of this review is to suggest gender-based innovations to improve colorectal cancer outcomes in females.Women have a higher risk of developing right-sided(proximal) colon cancer than men,which is associated with more aggressive form of neoplasia compared to left-sided(distal) colon cancer.Despite differences in tumor location between women and men,most of scientific researchers do not consider sex specificity for study design and interpretation.Also,colorectal cancer screening guidelines do not distinguish females from male,which may explain the higher frequency of more advanced neoplasia when tumors are first detected and false negative results in colonoscopy in females.Moreover,socio-cultural barriers within females are present to delay screening and diagnosis.Few studies,among studies that included both men and women,have reported sex-specific estimates of dietary risk factors which are crucial to establish cancer prevention guidelines despite sex-and genderassociated differences in nutrient metabolism and dietary practices.Furthermore,anti-cancer drug use for colorectal cancer treatment can cause toxicity to the reproductive system,and gender-specific recurrence and survival rates are reported.Therefore,by understanding sex-and gender-related biological and socio-cultural differences in colorectal cancer risk,gender-specific strategies for screening,treatment and prevention protocols can be established to reduce the mortality and improve the quality of life. | Sung-Eun Kim Hee Young Paik Hyuk Yoon Jung Eun Lee Nayoung Kim Mi-Kyung Sung | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,17: | 18 |
| 16 | Recurrence after endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection for large sessile colorectal polyps显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the safety and outcomes of endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) for large sessile colorectal polyps. METHODS: The patients enrolled in this study were 47 patients with 50 large sessile polyps (diameter, 2 cm or greater) who underwent EPMR using a submucosal saline injection technique between December 2002 and October 2005. All medical records, including characteristics of the patients and polyps, complications, and recurrences, were retrospectively reviewed. The first follow-up endoscopic examination was performed at 3-6 mo after initial endoscopic resection, and the second at 12 mo postEPMR. Subsequent surveillance colonoscopic examinations were individualized, taking risk factors into account. RESULTS: The patients were 23 men and 24 women,with a mean age of 60 years. Mean polyp size was 30.1 mm. Of 50 polyps identified, 34 (68%) were benign and 16 (32%) were malignant. There were 6 (12%) cases with EPMR-related bleeding: 5 intra-procedural and 1 early post-procedural bleeding. All bleeding episodes were managed by endoscopic clipping or argon beam coagulation. There were no perforations. Recurrence was identified in 5 cases (12.2%): 4 local recurrences detected at 3 mo post-EPMR and 1 local recurrence detected at 14 mo post-EPMR. The recurrence rate after EPMR was 3.1% for benign polyps and 33.3% for malignant polyps (P < 0.05). Median follow-up time was 37 mo. CONCLUSION: EPMR is safe, but should be applied carefully in malignant polyps. Close follow-up endoscopic examinations are necessary for early detection of recurrence. | Guh Jung Seo Dae Kyung Sohn Kyung Su Han Chang Won Hong Byung Chang Kim Ji Won Park Hyo Seong Choi Hee Jin Chang Jae Hwan Oh | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,22: | 17 |
| 17 | The association of benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract stones in adult men: A retrospective multicenter study显示文摘Objective:To examine the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and the presence of lower urinary tract stones.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the records of men with lower urinary tract stones who presented to three clinical centers in Korea over a 4-year period.We divided the patients into two groups based on the location of urinary stones:Group 1(bladder calculi)and Group 2(urethral calculi).We compared the characteristics of both groups and performed univariate and multivariate analyses with a logistic regression model to investigate the relationship between BPH and lower urinary tract stones.Results:Of 221 patients,194(87.8%)had bladder calculi and 27(12.2%)had urethral calculi.The mean age of Group 1 was higher than that of Group 2(68.9612.11 years vs.55.7414.20 years,p<0.001).The mean prostate volume of Group 1 was higher than that of Group 2(44.4727.14 mL vs.24.706.41 mL,respectively,p<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression showed that age(OR Z 1.075,95%CI:1.023e1.129)and prostate volume(OR Z 1.069,95%CI:1.017e1.123)were independently associated with increased risk for bladder calculi.Upper urinary tract stones and/or hydronephrosis conferred a 3-fold risk for urethral calculi(OR Z 3.468,95%CI:1.093e10.999).Conclusion:Age and prostate volume are independent risk factors for bladder calculi.In addition,men with upper urinary tract disease are at greater risk for urethral calculi,which may migrate from the upper urinary tract rather than from the bladder. | Jae Hung Jung Jinsung Park Won Tae Kim Hong Wook Kim Hyung Joon Kim Sungwoo Hong Hee Jo Yang Hong Chung | 2018 | Asian Journal of Urology2018,5,2: | 17 |
| 18 | Multimodal imaging evaluation in staging of rectal cancer显示文摘Rectal cancer is a common cancer and a major cause of mortality in Western countries.Accurate staging is essential for determining the optimal treatment strategies and planning appropriate surgical procedures to control rectal cancer.Endorectal ultrasonography(EUS)is suitable for assessing the extent of tumor invasion,particularly in early-stage or superficial rectal cancer cases.In advanced cases with distant metastases,computed tomography(CT)is the primary approach used to evaluate the disease.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)is often used to assess preoperative staging and the circumferential resection margin involvement,which assists in evaluating a patient’s risk of recurrence and their optimal therapeutic strategy.Positron emission tomography(PET)-CT may be useful in detecting occult synchronous tumors or metastases at the time of initial presentation.Restaging after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy(CRT)remains a challenge with all modalities because it is difficult to reliably differentiate between the tumor mass and other radiation-induced changes in the images.EUS does not appear to have a useful role in post-therapeutic response assessments.Although CT is most commonly used to evaluate treatment responses,its utility for identifying and following-up metastatic lesions is limited.Preoperative high-resolution MRI in combination with diffusion-weighted imaging,and/or PET-CT could provide valuable prognostic information for rectal cancer patients with locally advanced disease receiving preoperative CRT.Based on these results,we conclude that a combination of multimodal imaging methods should be used to precisely assess the restaging of rectal cancer following CRT. | Suk Hee Heo Jin Woong Kim Sang Soo Shin Yong Yeon Jeong Heoung-Keun Kang | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,15: | 16 |

| 20 | Clinical characteristics and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease: A comparison of Eastern and Western perspectives显示文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) is a chronic, relapsing intestinal inflammatory disorder with unidentified causes. Both environmental factors and genetic aspects are believed to be crucial to the pathogenesis of IBD. The incidence and prevalence of IBD have recently been increasing throughout Asia, presumably secondary to environmental changes. This increasing trend in IBD epidemiology necessitates specific health care planning and education in Asia. To this end, we must gain a precise understanding of the distinctive clinical and therapeutic characteristics of Asian patients with IBD. The phenotypes of IBD reportedly differ considerably between Asians and Caucasians. Thus, use of the same management strategies for these different populations may not be appropriate. Moreover, investigation of the Asian-specific clinical aspects of IBD offers the possibility of identifying causative factors in the pathogenesis of IBD in this geographical area. Accordingly, this review summarizes current knowledge of the phenotypic manifestations and management practices of patients with IBD, with a special focus on a comparisonof Eastern and Western perspectives. | Soo Jung Park Won Ho Kim Jae Hee Cheon | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,33: | 15 |
