| 1 | Precision surgical approach with lymph-node dissection in early gastric cancer显示文摘The gravest prognostic factor in early gastric cancer is lymph-node metastasis,with an incidence of about 10% overall. About two-thirds of early gastric cancer patients can be diagnosed as node-negative prior to treatment based on clinicpathological data. Thus, the tumor can be resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. In the remaining third, surgical resection is necessary because of the possibility of nodal metastasis. Nevertheless, almost all patients can be cured by gastrectomy with D1+ lymph-node dissection. Laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy has become widespread in East Asia because perioperative and oncological safety are similar to open surgery. However, after D1+ gastrectomy,functional symptoms may still result. Physicians must strive to minimize postgastrectomy symptoms and optimize long-term quality of life after this operation.Depending on the location and size of the primary lesion, preservation of the pylorus or cardia should be considered. In addition, the extent of lymph-node dissection can be individualized, and significant gastric-volume preservation can be achieved if sentinel node biopsy is used to distinguish node-negative patients.Though the surgical treatment for early gastric cancer may be less radical than in the past, the operative method itself seems to be still in transition. | Shinichi Kinami Naohiko Nakamura Yasuto Tomita Takashi Miyata Hideto Fujita Nobuhiko Ueda Takeo Kosaka | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,14: | 21 |
| 2 | Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis following alpha-glucosidase inhibitor treatment:A case report and review of the literature显示文摘A 69-year-old man was diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis (MG) in September 2004,and treated with thymectomy and prednisolone. He was then diagnosed as having steroid-induced diabetes mellitus,and received sulfonylurea (SU) therapy in May 2005. An alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (αGI) was added in March 2006,resulting in good glycemic control. He experienced symptoms of abdominal distention,increased flatus,and constipation in October 2007,and was admitted into our hospital in late November with hematochezia. Plain abdominal radiography revealed small linear radiolucent clusters in the wall of the colon. Computed tomography (CT) showed intramural air in the sigmoid colon. Colonoscopy revealed multiple smooth surfaced hemispherical protrusions in the sigmoid colon. The diagnosis of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) was made on the basis of these findings. As the αGI voglibose was suspected as the cause of this patient's PCI,treatment was conservative,ceasing voglibose,with fasting and fluid supplementation. The patient progressed well,and was discharged 2 wk later. Recently,several reports of PCI associated with αGI therapy have been published,predominantly in Japan where αGIs are commonly used. If the use of αGIs becomes more widespread,we can expect more reports of this condition on a global scale. The possibility of PCI should be considered in diabetic patients complaining of gastrointestinal symptoms,and the gastrointestinal tract should be thoroughly investigated in these patients. | Tatsuhiro Tsujimoto Erika Shioyama Kei Moriya Hideto Kawaratani Yasuyo Shirai Masahisa Toyohara Akira Mitoro Jun-ichi Yamao Hisao Fujii Hiroshi Fukui | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,39: | 16 |
| 3 | Rifaximin ameliorates hepatic encephalopathy and endotoxemia without affecting the gut microbiome diversity显示文摘AIM To determine the efficacy of rifaximin for hepatic encephalopathy(HE) with the linkage of gut microbiome in decompensated cirrhotic patients.METHODS Twenty patients(12 men and 8 women; median age, 66.8 years; range, 46-81 years) with decompensated cirrhosis(Child-pugh score > 7) underwent cognitive neuropsychological testing, endotoxin analysis, and fecal microbiome assessment at baseline and after 4 wk of treatment with rifaximin 400 mg thrice a day. HE was determined by serum ammonia level and number connection test(NCT)-A. Changes in whole blood endotoxin activity(EA) was analyzed by endotoxinactivity assay. Fecal microbiome was assessed by 16 S ribosome RNA(rR NA) gene sequencing.RESULTS Treatment with rifaximin for 4 wk improved hyperammonemia(from 90.6 ± 23.9 μg/d L to 73.1 ± 33.1 μg/dL; P < 0.05) and time required for NCT(from 68.2 ± 17.4 s to 54.9 ± 20.3 s; P < 0.05) in patients who had higher levels at baseline. Endotoxin activity was reduced(from 0.43 ± 0.03 to 0.32 ± 0.09; P < 0.05) in direct correlation with decrease in serum ammonia levels(r = 0.5886, P < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were observed in the diversity estimator(Shannon diversity index) and major components of the gut microbiome between the baseline and after treatment groups(3.948 ± 0.548 at baseline vs 3.980 ± 0.968 after treatment; P = 0.544), but the relative abundances of genus Veillonella and Streptococcus were lowered.CONCLUSION Rifaximin significantly improved cognition and reduced endotoxin activity without significantly affecting the composition of the gut microbiome in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. | Kosuke Kaji Hiroaki Takaya Soichiro Saikawa Masanori Furukawa Shinya Sato Hideto Kawaratani Mitsuteru Kitade Kei Moriya Tadashi Namisaki Takemi Akahane Akira Mitoro Hitoshi Yoshiji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,47: | 14 |

| 5 | Decreased phagocytic activity of Kupffer cells in a rat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis model显示文摘AIM: To investigate Kupffer cell dynamics and phagocytic activity,using a rat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model. METHODS: Male F344 rats were fed either a control diet or a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined (CDAA) diet,followed by contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) using Levovist. The uptake of latex beads by the Kupffer cells was determined by fluorescent microscopy. The status of the Kupffer cells was compared between the two groups,using the immunohistochemical staining technique. RESULTS: After 4 or more wk of the CDAA diet,CEUS examination revealed a decrease in the signal intensity,20 min after intravenous Levovist. Fluorescent microscopic examination showed that the uptake of latex beads by the Kupffer cells was reduced at week 1 and 2 in the study group,compared with the controls,with no further reduction after 3 wk. Immunohistochemical staining revealed no significant difference in the Kupffer cell counts between the control group and the CDAA group. CONCLUSION: CEUS examination using Levovist demonstrated reduced contrast effect and phagocytic activity in the liver parenchymal phase,although the Kupffer cell numbers were unchanged,indicating reduced phagocytic function of the Kupffer cells in the rat NASH model. We believe that CEUS examination using Levovist is a useful screening modality,which can detect NASH in fatty liver patients. | Tatsuhiro Tsujimoto Hideto Kawaratani Toshiyuki Kitazawa Toshiko Hirai Hajime Ohishi Mitsuteru Kitade Hitoshi Yoshiji Masahito Uemura Hiroshi Fukui | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,39: | 12 |
| 6 | Condyloma acuminatum of the anal canal,treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘Condyloma acuminatum(CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease caused by human papilloma virus infection. Not all individuals develop persistent, progressive disease, but careful follow up is required with moderate-to-severe dysplasia to prevent progression to malignancy. Standard therapies include surgical treatments(trans-anal resection and transanal endoscopic microsurgery) and immunotherapeutic and topical methods(topical imiquimod); however, local recurrence remains a considerable problem. Here, we report a case with superficial CA of the anal canal, treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD). A 28-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of hematochezia. Digital exam did not detect a tumor. Screening colonoscopy revealed 10-mm long, whitish condyles extending from the anal canal to the lower rectum. The lesion covered almost the whole circumference, and only a small amount of normal mucosa remained. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging showed brownish hairpin-shaped, coiled capillaries. Although histopathological diagnosis by biopsy revealed CA, accurate histological differentiation between CA, papilloma, and squamous cell carcinoma can be difficult with a small specimen. Therefore, weperformed diagnostic ESD, which provides a complete specimen for precise histopathological evaluation. The pathological diagnosis was CA, with moderate dysplasia(anal intraepithelial neoplasia 2). There was no recurrence at 16 mo after the initial ESD. Compared to surgical treatment, endoscopic diagnosis and resection could be performed simultaneously and the tumor margin observed clearly with a magnifying chromocolonoscopy, resulting in less recurrence. These findings suggest that endoscopic resection may be an alternative method for CA that prevents recurrence. | Akiko Sasaki Takeshi Nakajima Hideto Egashira Kotaro Takeda Shinnosuke Tokoro Chikamasa Ichita Sakue Masuda Haruki Uojima Kazuya Koizumi Takeshi Kinbara Taku Sakamoto Yutaka Saito Makoto Kako | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,8: | 11 |
| 7 | Crosstalk between angiogenesis, cytokeratin-18, and insulin resistance in the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the possible crosstalk between angiogenesis, cytokeratin-18 (CK-18), and insulin resistance (IR) especially in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).METHODS: Twenty-eight patients with NASH and 11 with simple fatty liver disease (FL) were enrolled in this study and underwent clinicopathological examination. The measures of angiogenesis, CK-18, and IR employed were CD34-immunopositive vessels, CK-18immunopositive cells, and homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), respectively. The correlations of these factors with NASH were elucidated.RESULTS: Significant development of hepatic neovascularization was observed only in NASH, whereas almost no neovascularization could be observed in FL and healthy liver. The degree of angiogenesis was almost parallel to liver fibrosis development, and both parameters were positively correlated. Similarly, CK-18expression and HOMA-R were signifi cantly increased in NASH as compared with FL and healthy liver. Furthermore, CK-18 and HOMA-IR were also positively correlated with the degree of neovascularization. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the crosstalk between angiogenesis, CK-18, and IR may play an important role in the onset and progression of NASH. | Mitsuteru Kitade Hitoshi Yoshiji Ryuichi Noguchi Yasuhide Ikenaka Kosuke Kaji Yusaku Shirai Masaharu Yamazaki Masahito Uemura Junichi Yamao Masao Fujimoto Akira Mitoro Masahisa Toyohara Masayoshi Sawai Motoyuki Yoshida Chie Morioka Tatsuhiro Tsujimoto Hideto Kawaratani Hiroshi Fukui | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,41: | 9 |
| 8 | Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level for evaluating significant fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM To evaluate the diagnostic performance of angiotensinconverting enzyme(ACE)on significant liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB). METHODS In total,100 patients with CHB who underwent liver biopsy in our hospital were enrolled,and 70 patients except for 30 patients with hypertension,fatty liver or habitual alcoholic consumption were analyzed.We compared histological liver fibrosis and serum ACE levels and evaluated the predictive potential to diagnose significant liver fibrosis by comparison with several biochemical marker-based indexes such as the aspartate aminotransferase(AST)-to-platelet ratio index(APRI),the fibrosis index based on four factors(FIB-4),the Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer(M2BPGi)level and the number of platelets(Plt). RESULTS Serum ACE levels showed moderately positive correlation with liver fibrotic stages(R2=0.181).Patients with significant,advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis(F2-4)had significantly higher serum ACE levels than those with early-stage fibrosis and cirrhosis(F0-1).For significant fibrosis(≥F2),the 12.8 U/L cut-off value of ACE showed 91.7%sensitivity and 75.0%specificity.The receiver-operating characteristic(ROC)curves analysis revealed that the area under the curve(AUC)value of ACE was 0.871,which was higher than that of APRI,FIB-4,M2BPGi and Plt. CONCLUSION The serum ACE level could be a novel noninvasive,easy,accurate,and inexpensive marker of significant fibrosis stage in patients with CHB. | Ryuichi Noguchi Kosuke Kaji Tadashi Namisaki Kei Moriya Mitsuteru Kitade Kosuke Takeda Hideto Kawaratani Yasushi Okura Yosuke Aihara Masanori Furukawa Akira Mitoro Hitoshi Yoshiji | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,36: | 6 |
| 9 | Hygroscopicity of particles generated from photooxidation of α-pinene under diferent oxidation conditions in the presence of sulfate seed aerosols显示文摘Smog chamber experiments were conducted to investigate the hygroscopicity of particles generated from photooxidation of α-pinene/NOx with diferent sulfate seed aerosols or oxidation conditions. Hygroscopicity of particles was measured by a tandem diferential mobility analyzer(TDMA) in terms of hygroscopic growth factor(Gf), with a relative humidity of 85%. With sulfate seed aerosols present, Gf of the aerosols decreased very fast before notable secondary organic aerosols(SOA) formation was observed, indicating a heterogeneous process between inorganic seeds and organic products might take place as soon as oxidation begins, rather than only happening after gas-aerosol partition of organic products starts. The final SOA-coated sulfate particles had similar or lower Gf than seed-free SOA. The hygroscopicity of the final particles was not dependent on the thickness but on the hygroscopicity properties of the SOA, which were influenced by the initial sulfate seed particles. In the two designed aging processes, Gf of the particles increased more significantly with introduction of OH radical than with ozone. However, the hygroscopicity of SOA was very low even after a long time of aging, implying that either SOA aging in the chamber was very slow or the Gf of SOA did not change significantly in aging. Using an aerosol composition speciation monitor(ACSM) and matrix factorization(PMF) method, two factors for the components of SOA were identified, but the correlation between SOA hygroscopicity and the proportion of the more highly oxidized factor could be either positive or negative depending on the speciation of seed aerosols present. | Biwu Chu Kun Wang Hideto Takekawa Junhua Li Wei Zhou Jingkun Jiang Qinxing Ma Hong He Jiming Hao | 2014 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2014,26,1: | 6 |

| 11 | Combined treatment of vitamin K_2 and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ameliorates hepatic dysplastic nodule in a patient with liver cirrhosis显示文摘Although it is well known that the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an ominous complication in patients with liver cirrhosis, there has been no approved drug to prevent the development of HCC to date. We previously reported that the combined treatment of vitamin K2 (VK) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) significantly suppressed the experimental hepatocarcinogenesis. A 66-year-old Japanese woman with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver cirrhosis developed a dysplastic nodule in the liver detected by enhanced computed tomography along with elevation of the tumor markers, namely, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and lectin-reactive demarcation (AFP-L3), suggesting the presence of latent HCC. After oral administration of VK and ACE-I, the serum levels of both AFP and AFP-L3 gradually decreased without any marked alteration of the serum aminotransferase activity. After one-year treatment, not only the serum levels of AFP and AFP-L3 returned to the normal ranges, but also the dysplastic nodule disappeared. Since both VK and ACE-I are widely used without serious side effects, this combined regimen may become a new strategy for chemoprevention against HCC. | Hitoshi Yoshiji Ryuichi Noguchi Masaharu Yamazaki Yasuhide Ikenaka Masayoshi Sawai Masatoshi Ishikawa Hideto Kawaratani Tsuyoshi Mashitani Mitsuteru Kitade Kosuke Kaji Masahito Uemura Junichi Yamao Masao Fujimoto Akira Mitoro Masahisa Toyohara Motoyuki Yoshida Hiroshi Fukui | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,23: | 5 |
| 12 | Diagnostic ability of multi-detector spiral computed tomography for pathological lymph node metastasis of advanced gastric cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND The reliability of preoperative nodal diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer by multi-detector spiral computed tomography(MDCT)is still unclear.AIM To examine the diagnostic ability of MDCT more precisely by using data on intranodal pathological metastatic patterns.METHODS A total of 108 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent MDCT and curative gastrectomy at Kanazawa Medical University Hospital were enrolled in this study.The nodal sizes measured on computed tomography(CT)images were compared with the pathology results.A receiver-operating characteristic curve was constructed,from which the critical value(CV)was calculated by using the data of the first 69 patients retrospectively.By using the CV,sensitivity and specificity were calculated with prospectively collected data from 39 consecutive patients.This enabled a more precise one-to-one correspondence of lymph nodes between CT and pathological examination by using the size data of lymph node mapping.The intranodal pathological metastatic patterns were classified into the following four types:Small nodular,peripheral,large nodular,and diffuse.RESULTS Although all the cases were clinically suspected as having metastasis,81 had lymph node metastasis and 27 had no metastasis.The number of dissected,detected on CT,and metastatic nodes were,4241,897,and 801,respectively.The CV obtained from the receiver-operating characteristic was 7.6 mm for the long axis.The sensitivity was 91.4%and the specificity was 47.3%in the prospective phase.The large nodular and diffuse metastases were easy to diagnose becausemetastatic nodes with a large axis often exhibit these forms.CONCLUSION The ability of MDCT to contribute to a nodal diagnosis of advanced gastric cancer was examined prospectively with precise size data from node mapping,using a CV of 7.6 mm for the long axis that was calculated from the retrospectively collected data.The sensitivity was as high as 91%,and would be improved when referring to the enhanced patterns.However,its specificity was as low as 47%,because most of metastatic nodes in gastric cancer being small in size.The small nodular or peripheral type metastatic nodes were often small and considered difficult to diagnose. | Zhi-Yong Jiang Shinichi Kinami Naohiko Nakamura Takashi Miyata Hideto Fujita Hiroyuki Takamura Nobuhiko Ueda Takeo Kosaka | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2020,12,4: | 5 |
| 13 | Dual therapy with zinc acetate and rifaximin prevents from ethanolinduced liver fibrosis by maintaining intestinal barrier integrity显示文摘BACKGROUND Hepatic overload of gut-derived lipopolysaccharide dictates the progression of alcoholic liver disease(ALD)by inducing oxidative stress and activating Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells through toll-like receptor 4 signaling.Therefore,targeting the maintenance of intestinal barrier integrity has attracted attention for the treatment of ALD.Zinc acetate and rifaximin,which is a nonabsorbable antibiotic,had been clinically used for patients with cirrhosis,particularly those with hepatic encephalopathy,and had been known to improve intestinal barrier dysfunction.However,only few studies focused on their efficacies in preventing the ALD-related fibrosis development.AIM To investigate the effects of a combined zinc acetate with rifaximin on liver fibrosis in a mouse ALD model.METHODS To induce ALD-related liver fibrosis,female C57BL/6J mice were fed a 2.5%(v/v)ethanol-containing Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet and received intraperitoneal carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)injection twice weekly(1 mL/kg)for 8 wk.Zinc acetate(100 mg/L)and/or rifaximin(100 mg/L)were orally administered during experimental period.Hepatic steatosis,inflammation and fibrosis as well as intestinal barrier function were evaluated by histological and molecular analyses.Moreover,the direct effects of both agents on Caco-2 barrier function were assessed by in vitro assays.RESULTSIn the ethanol plus CCl4-treated mice,combination of zinc acetate and rifaximin attenuated oxidative lipid peroxidation with downregulation of Nox2 and Nox4.This combination significantly inhibited the Kupffer cells expansion and the proinflammatory response with blunted hepatic exposure of lipopolysaccharide and the toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor kB pathway.Consequently,liver fibrosis and hepatic stellate cells activation were efficiently suppressed with downregulation of Mmp-2,-9,-13,and Timp1.Both agents improved the atrophic changes and permeability in the ileum,with restoration of tight junction proteins(TJPs)by decreasing the expressions of tumor necrosis factorαand myosin light chain kinase.In the in vitro assay,both agents directly reinforced ethanol or lipopolysaccharide-stimulated paracellular permeability and upregulated TJPs in Caco-2 cells.CONCLUSION Dual therapy with zinc acetate and rifaximin may serve as a strategy to prevent ALD-related fibrosis by maintaining intestinal barrier integrity. | Yuki Fujimoto Kosuke Kaji Norihisa Nishimura Masahide Enomoto Koji Murata Soichi Takeda Hiroaki Takaya Hideto Kawaratani Kei Moriya Tadashi Namisaki Takemi Akahane Hitoshi Yoshiji | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,48: | 4 |
| 14 | Immunotherapy for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis using the multiple cytokine production modulator Y-40138显示文摘AIM:To investigate the possible use of the multiple cytokine production modulator,Y-40138,as a novel immunotherapy in the rat nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model. METHODS:We allocated 6-wk-old male F344 rats to choline-supplemented,L-amino acid-defined (CSAA) diet (control group),CSAA diet + Y-40138 (control + Y-40138 group),choline-def icient,L-amino acid-def ined (CDAA) diet (NASH group),or CDAA diet + Y-40138 (NASH + Y-40138 group). In each group,we measured the plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels,and the plasma and liver levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interferon-γ (IFN-γ),and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Tissue specimens of phosphate buffered saline-perfused liver were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining,Azan staining,Sirius red staining,and immunohistochemical staining (for Kupffer cells and TNF-α). We then extracted Kupffer cells from the collagenase-perfused livers using the Percoll gradient centrifugation method,and measured the TNF-α levels in the supernatant (in vitro TNF-α production by Kupffer cells) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit.RESULTS:In comparison to the NASH group,serumALT elevation was mild,production of serum and liver TNF-α and IFN-γ was inhibited,and IL-10 production was increased in the NASH + Y-40138 group. Amelioration of liver histology was also noted in the NASH + Y-40138 group. Kupffer cell immunohistochemical staining revealed no differences between groups,whereas TNF-α immunohistochemical staining showed fewer stained cells in the NASH + Y-40138 group than in the NASH group. The TNF-α levels in the in-vitro Kupffer cell culture supernatant were lower in the NASH + Y-40138 group than in the NASH group.CONCLUSION:Administration of Y-40138 to NASH model rats reduced hepatic inflammation and suppressed fibrosis. These results indicate that the multiple cytokine production modulator,Y-40138,is promising as a novel treatment for NASH. | Tatsuhiro Tsujimoto Hideto Kawaratani Toshiyuki Kitazawa Hitoshi Yoshiji Masao Fujimoto Masahito Uemura Hiroshi Fukui | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,44: | 4 |
| 15 | Eosinophilic cholecystitis along with pericarditis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides: A case report显示文摘Although the etiology of eosinophilic cholecystitis is still obscure, the postulated causes include allergies, parasites, hypereosinophilic syndrome, and eosinophilic gastroenteritis. It is sometimes accompanied by several complications, but a simultaneous onset with pericarditis is very rares. A 28-year-old woman complained of acute right hypocondrial pain and dyspnea associated with systemic eruption. Several imaging modalities revealed acute cholecystitis and pericarditis with massive pericardial effusion. A marked peripheral blood eosinophilia was observed, and the eruption was diagnosed as urticaria. Her serum had a high titer of antibody against Ascaris lumbricoides . Treatment with albendazole drastically improved all clinical manifestations along with normalization of the imaging features and eosinophilia. We report herein a rare case of simultaneous onset of acute cholecystitis and pericarditis associated with a marked eosinophilia caused by parasitic infection. | Kosuke Kaji Hitoshi Yoshiji Masahide Yoshikawa Masaharu Yamazaki Yasuhide Ikenaka Ryuichi Noguchi Masayoshi Sawai Masatoshi Ishikawa Tsuyoshi Mashitani Mitsuteru Kitade Hideto Kawaratani Masahito Uemura Junichi Yamao Masao Fujimoto Akira Mitoro Masahisa Toyohara Motoyuki Yoshida Hiroshi Fukui | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,27: | 3 |

| 17 | Efficacy of combination therapy with natriuretic and aquaretic drugs in cirrhotic ascites patients: A randomized study显示文摘AIM To assess the effects of a combination therapy with natriuretic and aquaretic drugs in cirrhotic ascites patients.METHODS A two-center,randomized,open-label,prospective study was conducted. Japanese patients who met the criteria were randomized to trial group and the combination diuretic group(received 7.5 mg of tolvaptan) or the conventional diuretic group(received 40 mg of furosemide) for 7 d in addition to the natriuretic drug which was used prior to enrolment in this study. The primary endpoint was the change in body weight from the baseline. Vital signs,fluid intake,and laboratory and urinary data were assessed to determine the pharmacological effects after administration of aquaretic and natriuretic drugs.RESULTS A total of 56 patients were randomized to receive either tolvaptan(n = 28) or furosemide(n = 28). In the combination and conventional diuretic groups,the average decrease in body weight from the baseline was 3.21 ± 3.17 kg(P < 0.0001) and 1.75 ± 2.36 kg(P = 0.0006),respectively,when measured on the final dosing day. Following 1 wk of treatment,a significantly greater reduction in body weight was observed in the combination diuretic group compared to that in the conventional diuretic group(P = 0.0412).CONCLUSION Compared to a conventional diuretic therapy with only a natriuretic drug,a combination diuretic therapy with natriuretic and aquaretic drugs is more effective for patients with cirrhotic ascites. | Haruki Uojima Hisashi Hidaka Tsuyoshi Nakayama Ji Hyun Sung Chikamasa Ichita Shinnosuke Tokoro Sakue Masuda Akiko Sasaki Kazuya Koizumi Hideto Egashira Makoto Kako | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,45: | 2 |
