| 1 | Pathogenesis and clinical management of Helicobacter pylori gastric infection显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is a gram-negative bacterium that infects approximately 4.4 billion individuals worldwide.However,its prevalence varies among different geographic areas,and is influenced by several factors.The infection can be acquired by means of oral-oral or fecal-oral transmission,and the pathogen possesses various mechanisms that improve its capacity of mobility,adherence and manipulation of the gastric microenvironment,making possible the colonization of an organ with a highly acidic lumen.In addition,H.pylori presents a large variety of virulence factors that improve its pathogenicity,of which we highlight cytotoxin associated antigen A,vacuolating cytotoxin,duodenal ulcer promoting gene A protein,outer inflammatory protein and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase.The host immune system,mainly by means of a Th1-polarized response,also plays a crucial role in the infection course.Although most H.pylori-positive individuals remain asymptomatic,the infection predisposes the development of various clinical conditions as peptic ulcers,gastric adenocarcinomas and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas.Invasive and non-invasive diagnostic methods,each of them with their related advantages and limitations,have been applied in H.pylori detection.Moreover,bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapy is a major challenge in the treatment of this infection,and new therapy alternatives are being tested to improve H.pylori eradication.Last but not least,the development of effective vaccines against H.pylori infection have been the aim of several research studies. | Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Ant?nio Fran?a da Silva Aline Silva Soares Vinícius Afonso Pereira Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Mariana Miranda Sampaio Pedro Henrique Moreira Neves Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,37: | 84 |
| 2 | Evaluation of inflammatory activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis显示文摘Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis evolve with a relapsing and remitting course.Determination of inflammatory state is crucial for the assessment of disease activity and for tailoring therapy.However,no simple diagnostic test for monitoring intestinal inflammation is available.Noninvasive markers give only indirect assessments of disease activity.Histopathological or endoscopical examinations accurately assess inflammatory activity,but they are invasive,time consuming and expensive and therefore are unsuitable for routine use.Imaging procedures are not applicable for ulcerative colitis.The usefulness of ultrasound and Doppler imag-ing in assessing disease activity is still a matter of discussion for Crohn's disease,and an increased interest in computed tomography enterograph (CTE) has been seen,mainly because it can delineate the extent and severity of bowel wall inflammation,besides detecting extraluminal findings.Until now,the available data concerning the accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography in detecting disease activity is less than CTE.Due to this,clinical activity indices are still commonly used for both diseases. | Eduardo Garcia Vilela Henrique Osvaldo da Gama Torres Fabiana Paiva Martins Maria de Lourdes de Abreu Ferrari Marcella Menezes Andrade Aloísio Sales da Cunha | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,9: | 23 |
| 3 | Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress act in concert to promote neurodegeneration in the diabetic retina and optic nerve:galectin-3 participation显示文摘Diabetes is a lifelong disease characterized by glucose metabolic imbalance,in which low insulin levels or impaired insulin signaling lead to hyperglycemic state.Within 20 years of diabetes progression,95%of patients will have diabetic retinopathy,the leading cause of visual defects in working-age people worldwide.Although diabetes is considered a microvascular disease,recent studies have shown that neurodegeneration precedes vascular changes within the diabetic visual system,albeit its mechanisms are still under investigation.Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are intrinsically related phenomena,since macrophage/microglia and astrocytes are the main sources of reactive oxygen species during central nervous system chronic degenerative diseases,and both pathological processes are increased in the visual system during diabetes.The present review will focus on recent findings of the contribution of oxidative stress derived from neuroinflammation in the early neurodegenerative aspects of the diabetic visual system and their relationship with galectin-3. | Henrique Rocha Mendonca Raul Carpi-Santos Karin da Costa Calaza Ana Maria Blanco Martinez | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,4: | 16 |
| 4 | Computed tomography-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy in pancreatic tumor diagnosis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the techniques, results, and complications related to computed tomography(CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsies of solid pancreatic lesions.METHODS: CT-guided percutaneous biopsies of solid pancreatic lesions performed at a cancer reference center between January 2012 and September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Biopsy material was collected with a 16-20 G Tru-Core needle(10-15 cm; Angiotech, Vancouver, CA) using a coaxial system and automatic biopsy gun. When direct access to the lesion was not possible, indirect(transgastric or transhepatic) access or hydrodissection and/or pneumodissection maneuvers were used. Characteristics of the patients, lesions, procedures, and histologic results were recorded using a standardized form. RESULTS: A total of 103 procedures included in the study were performed on patients with a mean age of 64.8 year(range: 39-94 year). The mean size of the pancreatic lesions was 45.5 mm(range: 15-195 mm). Most(75/103, 72.8%) procedures were performed via direct access, though hydrodissection and/or pneumodissection were used in 22.2%(23/103) of cases and indirect transhepatic or transgastric access was used in 4.8%(5/103) of cases. Histologic analysis was performed on all biopsies, and diagnoses were conclusive in 98.1%(101/103) of cases, confirming3.9%(4/103) of tumors were benign and 94.2%(97/103) were malignant; results were atypical in 1.9%(2/103) of cases, requiring a repeat biopsy to diagnose a neuroendocrine tumor, and surgical resection to confirm a primary adenocarcinoma. Only mild/moderate complications were observed in 9/103 patients(8.7%),and they were more commonly associated with biopsies of lesions located in the head/uncinate process(n =8), than of those located in the body/tail(n = 1) of the pancreas, but this difference was not significant.CONCLUSION: CT-guided biopsy of a pancreatic lesion is a safe procedure with a high success rate, and is an excellent option for minimally invasive diagnosis. | Chiang J Tyng Maria Fernanda A Almeida Paula NV Barbosa Almir GV Bitencourt José Augusto AG Berg Macello S Maciel Felipe JF Coimbra Luiz Henrique O Schiavon Maria Dirlei Begnami Marcos D Guimares Charles E Zurstrassen Rubens Chojniak | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,12: | 14 |

| 6 | Hepatitis B virus prevalence and transmission risk factors in inflammatory bowel disease patients at Clementino Fraga Filho university hospital显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients that followed up in our hospital and try to identify the possible risk factors involved in this infection transmission. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study for which 176 patients were selected according to their arrival for the medical interview. All these patients had already IBD diagnosis. The patient was interviewed and a questionnaire was filled out. RESULTS: In the group of 176 patients whom we examined, we found that 17% (30) were anti-HBc positive. Out of 30 patients with positive anti-HBc, 2.3% (4) had positive HBsAg and negative HBV-DNA. In an attempt to identify the possible HBV infection transmission risk factors in IBD patients, it was observed that 117 patients had been submitted to some kind of surgical procedure, but only 24 patients had positive anti-HBc (P = 0.085). It was also observed that surgery to treat IBD complications was not a risk factor for HBV infection transmission, since we did not get a statically significant P value. However, IBDpatients that have been submitted to surgery to treat IBD complications received more blood transfusions then patients submitted to other surgical interventions (P = 0.015). CONCLUSION: There was a high incidence of positive anti-HBc (17%) and positive HBsAg (2.3%) in IBD patient when compared with the overall population (7.9%). | Yolanda Faia Manhes Tolentino Homero Soares Fogaa Cyrla Zaltman Lia Laura Lewis Ximenes Henrique Sérgio Moraes Coelho | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,20: | 10 |
| 7 | 联合应用氯吡格雷和质子泵抑制剂对急性冠状动脉综合征患者经皮冠状动脉介入术后预后的影响显示文摘目的探讨联合应用氯吡格雷和质子泵抑制剂(PPI)对急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)患者经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)术后预后的影响。方法回顾性分析2003年至2014年来自10个国家(加拿大,巴西,德国,波兰,荷兰,西班牙,意大利,希腊,中国,日本)15个临床中心的ACS合并PCI术后18077例患者的临床资料。研究氯吡格雷、PPI与ACS患者PCI术后预后的关系。比较患者的基本临床特征、既往病史、生化指标、药物应用,以及终点事件的发生率情况。通过Cox回归模型进行分析及倾向性评分调整其他可能影响患者的预后因素包括人口学信息(年龄、性别)和临床指标,计算PPI这一干预因素的风险比并评价其是否能够明显影响患者的预后。结果基于国际多中心Blee MACs注册登记研究分析,排除关键数据缺失过多患者2676例。根据纳入与排除标准及倾向性评分调整整理后,再排除患者6461例,最终列队患者8940例。根据患者用药不同,将患者分为氯吡格雷+PPI组(4814例)和氯吡格雷组(4126例)。氯吡格雷+PPI组患者女性、高血压病史、高脂血症病史、糖尿病史、外周血管疾病史、既往急性心肌梗死史、慢性肾功能不全病史、消化道溃疡病史、冠状动脉旁路移植术病史、既往出血病史、恶性肿瘤病史、不稳定型心绞痛、非sT段抬高型心肌梗死、心功能Killip分级≥2级、经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术、出院后血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂/血管紧张素Ⅱ受体拮抗剂应用比例、年龄和入院时血肌酐水平明显高于氯吡格雷组[25.4%(1225/4814)比21.0%(865/4126)、59.9%(2882/4814)比49.2%(2032/4126)、48.3%(2327/4814)比42.7%(1762/4126)、26.4%(1272/4814)比22.1%(910/4126)、8.0%(386/4814)比5.6%(231/4126)、12.3%(593/4814)比10.6%(436/4126)、2.0%(98/4814)比0.7%(30/4126)、2.3%(112/4814)比1.0%(42/4126)、3.6%(172/4814)比2.2%(92/4126)、4.5%(219/4814)比3.0%(123/4126)、8.0%(387/4814)比4.7%(193/4126)、13.4%(644/4814)比9.1%(374/4126)、29.1%(1400/4814)比15.9%(656/4126)、14.5%(699/4814)比11.2%(462/4126)、56.0%(2697/4814)比55.7%(2300/4126)、75.5%(3633/4814)比68.6%(2829/4126)、(66±12)岁比(61±13)岁、(10±6)mg/L比(9±4)mg/L];且入院时血红蛋白水平和出院后β受体阻滞剂应用比例明显低于氯吡格雷组[(138±19)g/L比(141±16)g/L、80.6%(3880/4814)比83.1%(3428/4126)],差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.05)。调整前,氯吡格雷+PPI组主要终点事件(全因死亡/再发心肌梗死/出血)发生率明显高于氯吡格雷组,差异有统计学意义(风险比为1.331,95%置信区间为1.161-1.524)。调整后,氯吡格雷+PPI组主要终点事件(全因死亡/再发心肌梗死/出血)发生率与氯吡格雷组比较,差异无统计学意义(风险比为1.036,95%置信区间为0.903-1.189)。结论ACS患者PCI术后联合应用PPI与氯吡格雷是合理的,尤其在胃肠道出血高危患者中。 | 严研 王晓 范婧尧 聂绍平 Sergio Raposeiras-Roubin Emad Abu-Assi Jose Paulo Simao Henriques Fabrizio D'Ascenzo Jorge Saucedo Jose Ramon Gonzalez-Juanatey Stephen B.

| 8 | Interrelationship between chromosome 8 aneuploidy,C-MYC amplification and increased expression in individuals from northern Brazil with gastric adenocarcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate chromosome 8 numerical aberra- tions, C-MYC oncogene alterations and its expression in gastric cancer and to correlate these findings with histo- pathological characteristics of gastric tumors. METHODS: Specimens were collected surgically from seven patients with gastric adenocarcinomas. Immu- nostaining for C-MYC and dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for C-MYC gene and chromosome 8 centromere were performed. RESULTS: All the cases showed chromosome 8 aneu- ploidy and C-MYC amplification, in both the diffuse and intestinal histopathological types of Lauren. No significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the level ofchromosome 8 ploidy and the site, stage or histological type of the adenocarcinomas. C-MYC high amplification, like homogeneously stained regions (HSRs) and double minutes (DMs), was observed only in the intestinal-type. Structural rearrangement of C-MYC, like translocation, was observed only in the diffuse type. Regarding C-MYC gene, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the two histological types. The C-MYC protein was expressed in all the studied cases. In the intestinal- type the C-MYC immunoreactivity was localized only in the nucleus and in the diffuse type in the nucleus and cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: Distinct patterns of alterations between intestinal and diffuse types of gastric tumors support the hypothesis that these types follow different genetic path- ways. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Mariana Ferreira Leal Aline Damaceno Seabra Andre Salim Khayat Elizabeth Suchi Chen Samia Demachki Paulo Pimentel Assumpcao Mario Henrique Girao Faria Silvia Helena Barem Rabenhorst Márcia Valéria Pitombeira Ferreira Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith Rommel Rodríguez Burbano | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,38: | 9 |
| 9 | 急性冠状动脉综合征患者经皮冠状动脉介入术后出血情况分析显示文摘目的分析急性冠状动脉综合征(ACS)经皮冠状动脉介入(PCI)术后出血情况。方法回顾性分析2003年1月至2014年12月来自11个国家16个临床中心的18077例行PCI的ACS患者的临床资料。根据是否出现出血事件,将患者分为出血组(558例)和非出血组(17519例),比较2组患者的基本临床特征、手术情况及生化指标。分析ACS患者PCI术后出血相关情况。结果马其顿中心数据因关键变量缺失过多而被排除患者2676例,故最终纳入10个国家15个中心15401例ACS患者。排除缺失数据,本研究共有12910例患者收集到出血部位的数据,409例患者存在出血事件。胃肠道是最常见出血部位,占48.7%(199/409),颅内出血占7.6%(31/409)。Logistic逐步回归方法多因素分析显示,既往出血病史、高血压病史是术后1年内消化道出血的危险因素。排除马其顿中心数据(2676例)与Cox回归模型和倾向性评分调整再排除5972例,剩余9429例作分层分析。根据是否联用质子泵抑制剂(PPI),将出院应用氯吡格雷生存患者8942例分为氯吡格雷联合应用PPI组(4814例)和氯吡格雷未联合应用PPI组(4126例);将出院应用替格瑞洛生存患者489例分为替格瑞洛联合应用PPI组(351例)和替格瑞洛未联合应用PPI组(138例)。Kaplan-Meier法分析显示氯吡格雷联合应用PPI组1年出血事件发生率明显高于氯吡格雷未联合应用PPI组,差异有统计学意义(P=0.004);替格瑞洛联合应用PPI组1年出血事件发生率与替格瑞洛未联合应用PPI组比较,差异无统计学意义(P=0.573)。结论ACS患者PCI术后最常见的出血部位为消化道,PPI与替格瑞洛联合应用在胃肠道出血风险较高患者中适用。 | 严研 王晓 范婧尧 聂绍平 宋现涛 Sergio Raposeiras-Roubin Emad Abu-Assi Jose Paulo Simao Henriques Fabrizio D'Ascenzo Jorge Saucedo Jose Ramon Gonza1ez-Juanatey Stephen B.

| 10 | Liver transplantation and alcoholic liver disease:History,controversies,and considerations显示文摘Alcohol consumption accounts for 3.8% of annual global mortality worldwide, and the majority of these deaths are due to alcoholic liver disease(ALD), mainly alcoholic cirrhosis. ALD is one of the most common indications for liver transplantation(LT). However, it remains a complicated topic on both medical and ethical grounds, as it is seen by many as a 'self-inflicted disease'. One of the strongest ethical arguments against LT for ALD is the probability of relapse. However, ALD remains a common indication for LT worldwide. For a patient to be placed on an LT waiting list, 6 mo of abstinence must have been achieved for most LT centers. However, this '6-mo rule' is an arbitrary threshold and has never been shown to affect survival, sobriety, or other outcomes. Recent studies have shown similar survival rates among individuals who undergo LT for ALD and those who undergo LT for other chronic causes of end-stage liver disease. There are specific factors that should be addressed when evaluating LT patients with ALD because these patients commonly have a high prevalence of multisystem alcohol-related changes. Risk factors for relapse include the presence of anxiety or depressive disorders, short pre-LT duration of sobriety, and lack of social support. Identification of risk factors and strengthening of the social support system may decrease relapse among these patients. Family counseling for LT candidates is highly encouraged to prevent alcohol consumption relapse. Relapse has been associated with unique histopathological changes, graft damage, graft loss, and even decreased survival in some studies. Research has demonstrated the importance of a multidisciplinary evaluation of LT candidates. Complete abstinence should be attempted to overcome addiction issues and to allow spontaneous liver recovery. Abstinence is the cornerstone of ALD therapy. Psychotherapies, including 12-step facilitation therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy, help support abstinence. Nutritional therapy helps to reverse muscle wasting, weight loss, vitamin deficiencies, and trace element deficiencies associated with ALD. For muscular recovery, supervised physical activity has been shown to lead to a gain in muscle mass and improvement of functional activity. Early LT for acute alcoholic hepatitis has been the subject of recent clinical studies, with encouraging results in highly selected patients. The survival rates after LT for ALD are comparable to those of patients who underwent LT for other indications. Patients that undergo LT for ALD and survive over 5 years have a higher risk of cardiorespiratory disease, cerebrovascular events, and de novo malignancy. | Claudio Augusto Marroni Alfeu de Medeiros Fleck Jr Sabrina Alves Fernandes Lucas Homercher Galant Marcos Mucenic Mario Henrique de Mattos Meine Guilherme Mariante-Neto Ajacio Bandeira de Mello Brandao | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,26: | 7 |
| 11 | Glutamine prevents oxidative stress in a model of mesenteric ischemia and reperfusion显示文摘AIM: To evaluate preventative effects of glutamine in an animal model of gut ischemia/reperfusion(I/R).METHODS: Male Wistar rats were housed in a controlled environment and allowed access to food and water ad libitum. Twenty male Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups:(1) control group(control)- rats underwent exploratory laparotomy;(2) control + glutamine group(control-GLU)- rats were subjected to laparotomy and treated intraperitoneally with glutamine 24 and 48 h prior to surgery;(3) I/R group- rats were subjected to occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 30 min followed by 15 min of reperfusion; and(4) ischemia/reperfusion + glutamine group(G + I/R)- rats were treated intraperitoneally with glutamine 24 and 48 h before I/R. Local and systemic injuries were determined by evaluating intestinal and lung segments for oxidative stress using lipid peroxidation and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD), interleukin-6(IL-6) and nuclear factor kappa beta(NFkB) after mesenteric I/R. RESULTS: Lipid peroxidation of the membrane was increased in the animals subjected to I/R(P < 0.05). However, the group that received glutamine 24 and 48 h before the I/R procedure showed levels of lipid peroxidation similar to the control groups(P < 0.05). The activity of the antioxidant enzyme SOD was decreased in the gut of animals subjected to I/R when compared with the control group of animals not subjected to I/R(P < 0.05). However, the group that received glutamine 24 and 48 h before I/R showed similar SOD activity to both control groups not subjected to I/R(P < 0.05). The mean area of NF-kB staining for each of the control groups was similar. The I/R group showed the largest area of staining for NF-kB. The G + I/R group had the second highest amount of staining, but the mean value was much lower than that of the I/R group(P < 0.05). For IL-6, control and control-GLU groups showed similar areas of staining. The I/R group contained the largest area of IL-6 staining, followed by the G + I/R animals; however, this area was significantly lower than that of the group that underwent I/R without glutamine(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate that pretreatment with glutamine prevents mucosal injury and improves gut and lung recovery after I/R injury in rats. | Gilmara Pandolfo Zabot Gustavo Franco Carvalhal Norma Possa Marroni Renata Minuzzo Hartmann Vinícius Duval da Silva Henrique Sarubbi Fillmann | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 7 |
| 12 | Assessing the inter-annual variability of separation distances around odour sources to protect the residents from odour annoyance显示文摘In recent years, there has been a growing concern about potential impacts on public health and wellbeing due to exposure to environmental odour. Separation distances between odour-emitting sources and residential areas can be calculated using dispersion models, as a means of protecting the neighbourhood from odour annoyance. This study investigates the suitability of using one single year of meteorological input data to calculate reliable direction-dependent separation distances. Accordingly, we assessed and quantified the inter-annual variability of separation distances at two sites with different meteorological conditions, one in Brazil and the other in Austria. A 5-year dataset of hourly meteorological observations was used for each site. Two odour impact criteria set in current regulations were selected to explore their effect on the separation distances. The coefficient of variation was used as a statistical measure to characterise the amount of annual variation. Overall,for all scenarios, the separation distances had a low degree of inter-annual variability(mean coefficient of variation values from 8% to 21%). Reasonable agreements from year to year were therefore observed at the two sites under investigation, showing that one year of meteorological data is a good compromise to achieve reliable accuracy. This finding can provide a more cost-effective solution to calculate separation distances in the vicinity of odour sources. | Marlon Brancher Martin Piringer Davide Franco Paulo Belli Filho Henrique De Melo Lisboa Gunther Schauberger | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,5: | 6 |
| 13 | Enamel microabrasion: An overview of clinical and scientific considerations显示文摘Superficial stains and irregularities of the enamelare generally what prompt patients to seek dental intervention to improve their smile. These stains or defects may be due to hypoplasia, amelogenesis imperfecta, mineralized white spots, or fluorosis, for which enamel microabrasion is primarily indicated. Enamel microabrasion involves the use of acidic and abrasive agents, such as with 37% phosphoric acid and pumice or 6% hydrochloric acid and silica, applied to the altered enamel surface with mechanical pressure from a rubber cup coupled to a rotatory mandrel of a lowrotation micromotor. If necessary, this treatment can be safely combined with bleaching for better esthetic results. Recent studies show that microabrasion is a conservative treatment when the enamel wear is minimal and clinically imperceptible. The most important factor contributing to the success of enamel microabrasion is the depth of the defect, as deeper, opaque stains, such as those resulting from hypoplasia, cannot be resolved with microabrasion, and require a restorative approach. Surface enamel alterations that result from microabrasion, such as roughness and microhardness, are easily restored by saliva. Clinical studies support the efficacy and longevity of this safe and minimally invasive treatment.

| 15 | Perioperative blood transfusion decreases long-term survival in pediatric living donor liver transplantation显示文摘BACKGROUND The impact of perioperative blood transfusion on short-and long-term outcomes in pediatric living donor liver transplantation(PLDLT)must still be ascertained,mainly among young children.Clinical and surgical postoperative complications related to perioperative blood transfusion are well described up to three months after adult liver transplantation.AIM To determine whether transfusion is associated with early and late postoperative complications and mortality in small patients undergoing PLDLT.METHODS We evaluated the effects of perioperative transfusion on postoperative complications in recipients up to 20 kg of body weight,submitted to PLDLT.A total of 240 patients were retrospectively allocated into two groups according to postoperative complications:Minor complications(n=109)and major complications(n=131).Multiple logistic regression analysis identified the volume of perioperative packed red blood cells(RBC)transfusion as the only independent risk factor for major postoperative complications.The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to identify the optimal volume of the perioperative RBC transfusion related to the presence of major postoperative complications,defining a cutoff point of 27.5 mL/kg.Subsequently,patients were reallocated to a low-volume transfusion group(LTr;n=103,RBC≤27.5 mL/kg)and a high-volume transfusion group(HTr;n=137,RBC>27.5 mL/kg)so that the outcome could be analyzed.RESULTS High-volume transfusion was associated with an increased number of major complications and mortality during hospitalization up to a 10-year follow-up period.During a short-term period,the HTr showed an increase in major infectious,cardiovascular,respiratory,and bleeding complications,with a decrease in rejection complications compared to the LTr.Over a long-term period,the HTr showed an increase in major infectious,cardiovascular,respiratory,and minor neoplastic complications,with a decrease in rejection complications.Additionally,Cox hazard regression found that high-volume RBC transfusion increased the mortality risk by 3.031-fold compared to low-volume transfusion.The Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the studied groups were compared using log-rank tests and the analysis showed significantly decreased graft survival,but with no impact in patient survival related to major complications.On the other hand,there was a significant decrease in both graft and patient survival,with high-volume RBC transfusion.CONCLUSION Transfusion of RBC volume higher than 27.5 mL/kg during the perioperative period is associated with a significant increase in short-and long-term postoperative morbidity and mortality after PLDLT. | Karina Gordon Estela Regina Ramos Figueira Joel Avancini Rocha-Filho Luiz Antonio Mondadori Eduardo Henrique Giroud Joaquim Joao Seda-Neto Eduardo Antunes da Fonseca Renata Pereira Sustovitch Pugliese Agustin Moscoso Vintimilla Jose Otavio Costa Auler Jr Maria Jose Carvalho Carmona Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'Alburquerque | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,12: | 6 |
| 16 | Gold Characterization by MLA and Technological Tests-Discussion of Sample Preparation and Results显示文摘Gold has been present throughout the history of mankind and used to make jewelry and coins, and recently, acquired several industrial uses. The price of gold in international market had a significant increasing, surpassing 100% in the last five years. Thereby, deposits with low levels of gold content, gold with complex associations or in a very fine particle size became exploitable again, allowing new projects and expansion of existing ones. However, for maximum process efficiency is indispensable a deep knowledge of the characteristics of these minerals and their behavior in face of beneficiation processes. Consequently, an accurate routine for mineralogical and technological characterization is essential. | Carina Ulsen Henrique Kahn Guilherme Nery Daniel Uliana Juliana L.Antoniassi | 2013 | 矿物学报2013,33,S1: | 5 |
| 17 | Postpartum depression:A systematic review of the genetics involved显示文摘Postpartum depression is one of the most prevalent psychopathologies. Its prevalence is estimated to be between 10% and 15%. Despite its multifactorial etiology, it is known that genetics play an important role in the genesis of this disorder. This paper reviews epidemiological evidence supporting the role of genetics in postpartum depression(PPD). The main objectives of this review are to determine which genes and polymorphisms are associated with PPD and discuss how this association may occur. In addition, this paper explores whether these genes are somehow related to or even the same as those linked to Major Depression(MD). To identify gaps in the current knowledge that require investigation, a systematic review was conducted in the electronic databases Pub Med, LILACS and Sci ELO using the index terms 'postpartum depression' and 'genetics'. Literature searches for articles in peerreviewed journals were made until April 2014. PPD was indexed 56 times with genetics. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese, Spanish or English that were available by institutional means or sent by authors upon request; this search resulted in 20 papers. Genes and polymorphisms traditionally related to MD, which are those involved in the serotonin, catecholamine, brain-derived neurotrophic factor and tryptophan metabolism, have been the most studied, and some have been related to PPD. The results are conflicting and some depend on epigenetics, which makes the data incipient. Further studies are required to determine the genes that are involved in PPD and establish the nature of the relationship between these genes and PPD. | Tiago Castro e Couto Mayra Yara Martins Brancaglion António Alvim-Soares Lafaiete Moreira Frederico Duarte Garcia Rodrigo Nicolato Humberto Corrêa Regina Amélia Lopes P Aguiar Henrique Vitor Leite | 2015 | World Journal of Psychiatry2015,5,1: | 5 |
| 18 | Renal sympathetic denervation in resistant hypertension显示文摘Resistant hypertension remains a major clinical problem despite the available multidrug therapy.Over the next decades,its incidence will likely increase given that it is strongly associated with older age and obesity.Resistant hypertension patients have an increased cardiovascular risk,thus effective antihypertensive treatment will provide substantial health benefits.The crosstalk between sympathetic nervous system and kidneys plays a crucial role in hypertension.It influences several pathophysiological mechanisms such as the central sympathetic tone,the sodium balance and the systemic neurohumoral activation.In fact,studies using several animal models demonstrated that the renal denervation prevented and attenuated hypertension in multiple species.Large reductions in blood pressure were also observed in malignant hypertension patients submitted to sympathectomy surgeries.However,these approaches had an unacceptably high rates of periprocedural complications and disabling adverse events.Recently,an innovative non-pharmacological therapy that modulates sympathetic activation has been successfully developed.Renal sympathetic percutaneous denervation is an endovascular procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the autonomic renal nerves running inside the adventitia of renal arteries.This method represents a promising new approach to the strategy of inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system.The aim of this review is to examine the background knowledge that resulted in the development of this hypertension treatment and to critically appraise the available clinical evidence. | Mário Santos Henrique Carvalho | 2013 | World Journal of Cardiology2013,5,4: | 5 |

| 20 | Ambient Backscatter Communications over NOMA Downlink Channels显示文摘In this paper,we investigate the performance of commensal ambient backscatter communications(AmBC)that ride on a non-ortho go nal multiple access(NOMA)downlink transmission,in which a backscatter device(BD)splits part of its received signals from the base station(BS)for energy harvesting,and backscatters the remaining received signals to transmit information to a cellular user.Specifically,under the power consumption constraint at BD and the peak transmit power constraint at BS,we derive the optimal reflection coefficient at BD,the optimal total transmit power at BS,and the optimal power allocation at BS for each transmission block to maximize the ergodic capacity of the ambient backscatter transmission on the premise of preserving the outage performance of the NOMA downlink transmission.Furthermore,we consider a scenario where the BS is restricted by a maximum allowed average transmit power and the reflection coefficient at BD is fixed due to BD’s low-complexity nature.An algorithm is developed to determine the optimal total transmit power and power allocation at BS for this scenario.Also,a low-complexity algorithm is proposed for this scenario to reduce the computational complexity and the signaling overheads.Finally,the performance of the derived solutions are studied and compared via numerical simulations. | Weiyu Chen Haiyang Ding Shilian Wang Daniel Benevides daCosta Fengkui Gong Pedro Henrique Juliano Nardelli | 2020 | China Communications2020,17,6: | 4 |
