| 3 | Diagnostic and therapeutic single-operator cholangiopancreatoscopy in biliopancreatic diseases:Prospective multicenter study in Japan显示文摘AIM: To assess the utility and safety of single-operator cholangiopancreatoscopy(SOCPS) using the Spy Glass system in widespread clinical application for biliary and pancreatic diseases.METHODS: This study was a prospective case series conducted in 20 referral centers in Japan. There were 148 patients who underwent SOCPS; 124 for biliary diseases and 24 for pancreatic diseases. The attempted interventions were SOCPS examination, SOCPS-directed tissue sampling, and therapy for stone removal, among others. The main outcomes were related to the procedure success rate in terms of visualizing the target lesions, SOCPS-directed adequate tissue sampling, and complete stone removal. RESULTS: A total of 148 patients were enrolled for the diagnosis of indeterminate biliary and pancreatic lesions or treatment of biliary and pancreatic disease. The overall procedure success rate of visualizing the target lesions was 91.2%(135/148). The overall procedural success rates of visualizing the target lesions of diagnostic SOCPS in the bile duct and pancreatic duct were 95.5%(84/89) and 88.2%(15/17), respectively. Diagnosis: the overall adequate tissue for histologic examination was secured in 81.4% of the 86 patients who underwent biopsy under SOCPS(bile duct, 60/75, 80.0%; pancreatic duct, 10/11, 90.9%). The accuracy of histologic diagnosis using SOCPS-directed biopsies in indeterminate bile duct lesions was 70.7%(53/75). In the pancreatic duct, the accuracy of SOCPS visual impression of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm was 87.5%(14/16). Stone therapy: complete biliary and pancreatic stone clearance combined with SOCPS-directed stone therapy using electrohydraulic lithotripsy or laser lithotripsy was achieved in 74.2%(23/31) and 42.9%(3/7) of the patients, respectively. Others: SOCPS using the Spy Glass system was used in cannulation of the cystic duct in two patients and for passing across the obstructed self-expandable metallic stent for a malignant biliary stricture in two patients. All procedures were successful in both SOCPS-guided therapies. The incidence of procedure-related adverse events was 5.4%(8/148). CONCLUSION: SOCPS with direct visualization and biopsy for diagnosis and SOCPS-directed therapy for biliary and pancreatic diseases can be safely performed with a high success rate. | Toshio Kurihara Ichiro Yasuda Hiroyuki Isayama Toshio Tsuyuguchi Taketo Yamaguchi Ken Kawabe Yoshinobu Okabe Keiji Hanada Tsuyoshi Hayashi Takao Ohtsuka Syuhei Oana Hiroshi Kawakami Yoshinori Igarashi Kazuya Matsumoto Kiichi Tamada Shomei Ryozawa Hiroki Kawashima Yutaka Okamoto Iruru Maetani Hiroyuki Inoue Takao Itoi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,5: | 20 |
| 4 | 悬吊技术在微血管减压术中的应用显示文摘BACKGROUND: The success of microvascular decompression (MVD) depends on the permanent and complete transposition of the offending vessels. This paper describes the stitched sling retraction techniques for treating trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), focusing on the stitching point for slinging the offending artery in the appropriate direction. Between January 2007 and March 2009, 28 patients with TN, 5 patients with HFS, and 3 patients with GPN underwent MVD with a sling retraction technique. In cases of TN, MVD was performed using the infratentorial lateral supracerebellar approach, and the offending superior cerebellar artery was superomedially transposed with a sling stitched to the tentorium cerebelli. In cases of HFS, MVD was performed using the lateral suboccipital infrafloccular approach, and the offending vertebral artery was superolaterally transposed with a sling stitched to the petrous dura. In cases of GPN, MVD was performed using the transcondylar fossa approach, in which the posterior inferior cerebellar artery was inferolaterally mobilized with a sling secured to the jugular tubercle. No patient suffered recurrence in the follow-up period. For the sling retraction technique to be performed successfully, it is important for a stitch to be placed at a suitable site to sling the offending vessel in the intended direction. An appropriate surgical approach must be used to obtain a sufficient operative field for performing the stitching procedures safely. | Masuoka J Matsushima T Kawashima M Nakahara Y Funaki T Mineta T | 2011 | 中华神经外科疾病研究杂志2011,10,2: | 19 |
| 5 | Ghrelin and gastric acid secretion显示文摘Ghrelin, a novel growth hormone-releasing peptide, was originally isolated from rat and human stomach. Ghrelin has been known to increase the secretion of growth hormone (GH), food intake, and body weight gain when administered peripherally or centrally. Ghrelin is also known to stimulate the gastric motility and the secretion of gastric acid. In the previous studies, the action of ghrelin on acid secretion was shown to be as strong as that of histamine and gastrin in in-vivo experiment. In the studies, the mechanism for the action of ghrelin was also investigated. It was shown that vagotomy completely inhibited the action of ghrelin on the secretion of gastric acid suggesting that vagal nerve is involved in the mechanism for the action of ghrelin on acid secretion. As famotidine did not inhibit ghrelin-in-duced acid secretion in the study by Masuda et al, they concluded that histamine was not involved in the action of ghrelin on acid secretion. However, we have shown that famotidine completely inhibited ghrelin-induced acid secretion and histidine decarboxylase (HDC) mRNA was increased in gastric mucosa by ghrelin injection which is inhibited by vagotomy Our results indicate that histamine is involved in the action of ghrelin on acid secretion. Furthermore synergistic action of gastrin and ghrelin on gastric acid secretion was shown. Although gastrin has important roles in postprandial secretion of gastric acid, ghrelin may be related to acid secretion during fasting period or at night. However, further studies are needed to elucidate the physiological role of ghrelin in acid secretion. | Koji Yakabi Junichi Kawashima Shingo Kato | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,41: | 13 |
| 6 | Utility of linked color imaging for endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND Linked color imaging(LCI) is a method of endoscopic imaging that emphasizes slight differences in red mucosal color.AIM To evaluate LCI in diagnostic endoscopy of early gastric cancer and to compare LCI and pathological findings.METHODS Endoscopic images were obtained for 39 patients(43 lesions) with early gastric cancer. Three endoscopists evaluated lesion recognition with white light imaging(WLI) and LCI. Color values in Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)1976 L*a*b* color space were used to calculate the color difference(ΔE) between cancer lesions and non-cancer areas. After endoscopic submucosal dissection,blood vessel density in the surface layer of the gastric epithelium was evaluated pathologically. The identical region of interest was selected for analyses of endoscopic images(WLI and LCI) and pathological analyses.RESULTS LCI was superior for lesion recognition(P < 0.0001), and ΔE between cancer and non-cancer areas was significantly greater with LCI than WLI(29.4 vs 18.6, P <0.0001). Blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions(5.96% vs4.15%, P = 0.0004). An a* cut-off of ≥ 24 in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space identified a cancer lesion using LCI with sensitivity of 76.7%, specificity of 93.0%, and accuracy of 84.9%.CONCLUSION LCI is more effective for recognition of early gastric cancer compared to WLI as a result of improved visualization of changes in redness. Surface blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions, and this result is consistent with LCI image analysis. | Toshihisa Fujiyoshi Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Kazuhiro Furukawa Tsunaki Sawada Keiko Maeda Takeshi Yamamura Takuya Ishikawa Eizaburo Ohno Masanao Nakamura Hiroki Kawashima Masato Nakaguro Masahiro Nakatochi Yoshiki Hirooka | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,10: | 12 |
| 7 | Analysis of the risk factors for severity in post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: The indication of prophylactic treatments显示文摘AIM To determine the risk factors of severe post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis(s PEP) and clarify the indication of prophylactic treatments.METHODS At our hospital, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) was performed on 1507 patients from May 2012 to December 2015. Of these patients, we enrolled all 121 patients that were diagnosed with post endoscopic retrograde PEP. Fourteen of 121 patients diagnosed as s PEP were analyzed.RESULTS Forty-one patients had contrast media remaining in the pancreatic duct after completion of ERCP. Seventy-one patients had abdominal pain within three hours after ERCP. These were significant differences for s PEP(P < 0.05). The median of Body mass index, the median time for ERCP, the median serum amylase level of the next day, past histories including drinking and smoking, past history of pancreatitis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, whether emergency or not, expertise of ERCP procedure, diverticulum nearby Vater papilla, whether there was sphincterotomy or papillary balloon dilation, pancreatic duct cannulation, use of intraductal ultrasonography enforcement, and transpapillary biopsies had no significant differences with s PEP.CONCLUSION Contrast media remaining in the pancreatic duct and the appearance of abdominal pain within three hours after ERCP were risk factors of s PEP. | Hiroshi Matsubara Fumihiro Urano Yuki Kinoshita Shozo Okamura Hiroki Kawashima Hidemi Goto Yoshiki Hirooka | 2017 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2017,9,4: | 12 |
| 8 | Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in the differentiation of type 1 and type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA) in the differentiation of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP).METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 47 of 56 AIP patients who underwent EUS-FNA and met the Asian diagnostic criteria.On 47 EUS-FNA specimens,we evaluated the presence of adequate material and characteristic features of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis(LPSP) and idiopathic duct-centric pancreatitis(IDCP) mentioned in the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria and examined if these findings make a contribution to the differential diagnosis of type 1 and type 2 AIP.A disposable 22-gauge needle was used for EUS-FNA.RESULTS:Adequate specimens including pancreatic tissue for differentiating AIP from cancer were obtained from 43 of 47 patients who underwent EUSFNA.EUS-FNA was performed from the pancreatic head in 21 cases,which is known to be technically difficult when performed by core biopsy;there was no significant difference in the results compared with pancreatic body-tail.Nine of 47 patients met level 1 findings of LPSP and 5 patients met level 2 findings of LPSP.No one met level 1 findings of IDCP,but 3 patients met level 2 findings of IDCP.Of 10 seronegative cases,2 cases were diagnosed with 'definitive type 1 AIP',and 3 cases were diagnosed with 'probable type 2 AIP' when considering both the level 2 histological findings and response to steroids.CONCLUSION:EUS-FNA is useful in the differentiation of type 1 and type 2 AIP,particularly in seronegative cases. | Takuya Ishikawa Akihiro Itoh Hiroki Kawashima Eizaburo Ohno Hirosh Matsubara Yuya Itoh Yosuke Nakamura Takeshi Hiramatsu Masanao Nakamura Ryoji Miyahara Naoki Ohmiya Hidemi Goto Yoshiki Hirooka | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,29: | 8 |
| 9 | Use of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of anomalous connection in pancreatobiliary disease显示文摘AIM: To estimate the detectability of anomalous connection in pancreatobiliary disease (ACPBD) cases, measuring gallbladder wall blood flow (GWBF).METHODS: In the retrospective study, we enrolled 42subjects with gallbladder wall thickening. GWBF velocity was determined as an average value of the peak velocity of color signals on the gallbladder wall, three times in each case. Based on the findings on endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the 42 subjects were divided into 11 cases with ACPBD and 31 cases without ACPBD. In the prospective study, the subjects were 92 cases with gallbladder wall thickening. Using the cut-off level of the flow velocity obtained in the retrospective study, the usefulness of measuring GWBF velocity in diagnosing ACPBD was evaluated.RESULTS: In the retrospective study, imaging of GWBF was obtained in 40 of the 42 subjects. The mean GWBF velocity of the ACPBD cases was 29.4±3.9 cm/s(mean±SD), which was significantly different (P<0.0001;95% CI 5.48-13.2) from that of the without ACPBD cases(20.1±5.9 cm/s). Based on this result, we prepared a receiver operating characteristic curve, and the cut-off level appropriate for diagnosing ACPBD was estimated to be 25 cm/s. In the prospective study, GWBF was detected in 86 of the 92 subjects. Based on the EUS or ERCP findings, the 92 subjects were divided into 15 cases with ACPBD and 77 cases without ACPBD. When a cut-off level of 25 cm/s was employed, ACPBD could be diagnosed with a sensitivity of 87.0% (13/15) and a specificity of87.3% (62/71).CONCLUSION: Measurement of GWBF velocity, which is less invasive and provides objective values, is very useful for diagnosing ACPBD prior to the development of malignant tumors in cases with gallbladder wall thickening. | Hiroki Kawashima Yoshiki Hirooka Akihiro Itoh Senju Hashimoto Terutomo Itoh Kazuo Hara Akira Kanamori Naoki Ohmiya Yasumasa Niwa Hidemi Goto | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,7: | 7 |

| 11 | In vivo histological diagnosis for gastric cancer using endocytoscopy显示文摘AIM To examine usefulness of virtual biopsy using endocytoscopy by comparing the in vivo endocytoscopic and histopathological images of gastric cancers.METHODS Endocytoscopy was performed in 30 patients with early gastric cancer. Of these, 26 patients showed well differentiated adenocarcinomas, while 4 patients showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas(including one signet ring cell carcinoma). Cancerous and non-cancerous areas were observed after double staining with 0.05% crystal violet and 0.1% methylene blue. The endocytoscopic images obtained were evaluated by an expert endoscopist and an expert pathologist without knowledge of patient clinical data, and endocytoscopic and histopathological diagnoses were compared.RESULTS The endocytoscopic images of the cancerous area were assessed as evaluable in 25(83.3%) and 27(90%) patients by endoscopist A and pathologist B, respectively, and those of the non-cancerous area as evaluable in 28(93.3%) and 23(76.7%) patients by the endoscopist and pathologist, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancer diagnosis using evaluable endocytoscopic images were 88.0% and 92.9%, and 90.6% by endoscopist A, and 88.9% and 91.3%, and 90.0% by pathologist B, respectively. Evaluation of the diagnostic concordance rate between the endoscopist and the pathologist by inter-observer agreement calculation revealed no significant difference between the two observers. The inter-observer agreement(κ-value) for endocytoscopic diagnosis was 0.745. CONCLUSION Endocytoscopy is useful for the differentiation of cancerous from non-cancerous gastric mucosa, making it a promising tool for virtual biopsy. | Issei Tsurudome Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Kazuhiro Furukawa Masanobu Matsushita Takeshi Yamamura Takuya Ishikawa Eizaburo Ohno Masanao Nakamura Hiroki Kawashima Osamu Watanabe Masato Nakaguro Akira Satou Yoshiki Hirooka Hidemi Goto | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,37: | 5 |
| 12 | Association between tear film break up time and blink interval in visual display terminal users显示文摘AIM:To investigate the association between tear film break up time(TBUT)and blinking interval in visual display terminal(VDT)users.METHODS:Nine hundred and thirty VDT users underwent dry eye testing,and functional visual acuity(FVA)test.The blinking interval during FVA was compared with TBUT.Subjects with longer blinking interval than TBUT were considered as unstable tear film.Logistic regression analysis revealed the risk factors for unstable tear group.RESULTS:Among 930 workers,858 subjects(92.3%)participated in this study.Almost 80% of the subjects were categorized into the unstable tear group.Unstable tear group has significantly lower Schirmer values and TBUT(17.5±11.6 vs 21.1±11.5 mm,3.7±2.6 vs 5.7±2.7s,both P<0.001).There were no significant differences in epithelial staining or severity of symptoms.Logistic regression showed that over 40y was a risk for being unstable tear group[odds ratio(OR)=1.53;95%confidence interval(CI)=1.06-2.20].Contact lens use was protective factor for being in the unstable tear group(OR=0.37;95%CI=0.26-0.53).CONCLUSION:Subjects with shorter TBUT than blinking interval are prevalent among VDT users.Subjects over the age of 40 shows an increased risk for unstable tear film. | Miki Uchino Motoko Kawashima Yuichi Uchino Kazuo Tsubota Norihiko Yokoi | 2018 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2018,11,10: | 5 |
| 13 | Gender differences in adolescent dry eye disease:a health problem in girls显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease(DED) in adolescents. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional, case-control study and outpatients aged 10 to 19y were recruited from six eye clinics of various practices and locations in Japan, and 253 non-DED subjects and 70 DED patients were enrolled. Participants were examined for DED-related signs. Patients were also interviewed to ascertain the presence or absence of six common DED-related symptoms: dryness, irritation, pain, eye fatigue, blurring, and photophobia. Main outcome measures were differences in signs and symptoms of dry eye disease between boys and girls.RESULTS: Of the 323 adolescents recruited, 70(21.7%) were diagnosed with DED. Significant differences between the non-DED and DED groups were found for short tear break-up time(BUT; ≤5s; P=0.000) and superficial punctate keratopathy(SPK; staining score ≥3; P=0.000). Late adolescent girls reported fewer symptoms than late adolescent boys, although their DED-related signs were worse compared to other groups. The prevalence and severity of DED were similar in the Tokyo area compared with suburban and local areas but myopic errors were worse. CONCLUSION: We find that adolescents reported symptoms of DED similar to those found in adults, and the majority have short BUT-type DED. The prevalence and severity of DED in late adolescent girls is comparable with adults. Adolescents with DED are underserved and we believe that DED is a hidden but potentially serious health problem for this age group. | Masahiko Ayaki Motoko Kawashima Miki Uchino Kazuo Tsubota Kazuno Negishi | 2018 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2018,11,2: | 5 |
| 14 | Acute encephalitis and encephalopathy associated with human parvovirus B19 infection in children显示文摘Reports of neurologic manifestations of human parvovirus B19(B19) infection have been on the rise. Acute encephalitis and encephalopathy is the most common, accounting for 38.8% of total B19-associated neurological manifestations. To date, 34 children with B19encephalitis and encephalopathy have been reported, which includes 21 encephalitis and 13 encephalopathy cases. Ten(29%) were immunocompromised and 17(39%) had underlying diseases. Fever at the onset of disease and rash presented in 44.1% and 20.6% of patients, respectively. Neurological manifestations include alteration of consciousness occurred in all patients, seizures in 15(44.1%) patients, and focal neurologic signs in 12(35.3%) patients. Anemia and pleocytosis in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) occurred in 56.3% and 48.1% of patients, respectively. Serum Anti-B19 Ig M(82.6%) and CSF B19 DNA(90%) were positive in the majority of cases. Some patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins and/or steroids, although an accurate evaluation of the efficacy of these treatment modalities cannot be determined. Nineteen(57.6%) patients recovered completely, 11(33.3%) patients had some neurological sequelae and 3(8.8%) patients died. Although the precise pathogenesis underlying the development of B19 encephalitis and encephalopathy is unclear, direct B19 infection or NS1 protein of B19 toxicity in the brain, and immune-mediated brain injuries have been proposed. | Toru Watanabe Hideshi Kawashima | 2015 | World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics2015,4,4: | 5 |
| 15 | Liver injury after aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid treatment of hemorrhoids显示文摘We are reporting a rare case of acute liver injury that developed after an internal hemorrhoid treatment with the aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid(ALTA) regimen. A 41-year-old man developed a fever and liver injury after undergoing internal hemorrhoid treatment with a submucosal injection of ALTA with lidocaine. The acute liver injury was classified clinically as hepatocellular and pathologically as cholestastic. We could not classify the mechanism of injury. High eosinophil and immunoglobulin E levels characterized the injury,and a drug lymphocyte stimulation test was negative on postoperative day 25. Fluid replacement for two weeks after hospitalization improved the liver injury. ALTA therapy involves injecting chemicals into the submucosa,from the rectum to the anus,and this is the first description of a case that developed a severe liver disorder after this treatment; hence,an analysis of future cases as they accumulate is desirable. | Kenichi Yoshikawa Reimi Kawashima Yuki Hirose Keiko Shibata Takafumi Akasu Noriko Hagiwara Takeharu Yokota Nami Imai Akira Iwaku Go Kobayashi Hirohiko Kobayashi Akiyoshi Kinoshita Nao Fushiya Hiroyuki Kijima Kazuhiko Koike Masayuki Saruta | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,27: | 5 |
| 16 | Risk factors for proximal migration of biliary tube stents显示文摘AIM: To analyze the risk factors for biliary stent migration in patients with benign and malignant strictures. METHODS: Endoscopic stent placement was performed in 396 patients with bile duct stenosis, at our institution, between June 2003 and March 2009. The indications for bile duct stent implantation included common bile duct stone in 190 patients, malignant lesions in 112, chronic pancreatitis in 62, autoimmune pancreatitis in 14, trauma in eight, surgical complications in six, and primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC) in four. We retrospectively examined the frequency of stent migration, and analyzed the patient factors(disease, whether endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed, location of bile duct stenosis and diameter of the bile duct) and stent characteristics(duration of stent placement, stent type, diameter and length). Moreover, we investigated retrieval methods for migrated stents and their associated success rates. RESULTS: The frequency of tube stent migration inthe total patient population was 3.5%. The cases in which tube stent migration occurred included those with common bile duct stones(3/190; 1.6%), malignant lesions(2/112; 1.8%), chronic pancreatitis(4/62; 6.5%), autoimmune pancreatitis(2/14; 14.3%), trauma(1/8; 12.5%), surgical complications(2/6; 33.3%), and PSC(0/4; 0%). The potential risk factors for migration included bile duct stenosis secondary to benign disease such as chronic pancreatitis and autoimmune pancreatitis(P = 0.030); stenosis of the lower bile duct(P = 0.031); bile duct diameter > 10 mm(P = 0.023); duration of stent placement > 1 mo(P = 0.007); use of straight-type stents(P < 0.001); and 10-Fr sized stents(P < 0.001). Retrieval of the migrated stents was successful in all cases. The grasping technique, using a basket or snare, was effective for pig-tailed or thin and straight stents, whereas the guidewire cannulation technique was effective for thick and straight stents. CONCLUSION: Migration of tube stents within the bile duct is rare but possible, and it is important to determine the risk factors involved in stent migration. | Yoshiaki Kawaguchi Masami Ogawa Yohei Kawashima Hajime Mizukami Atsuko Maruno Hiroyuki Ito Tetsuya Mine | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,5: | 4 |
| 17 | Murine hepatocellular carcinoma derived stem cells reveal epithelial-to-mesenchymal plasticity显示文摘AIM To establish a model to enrich and characterize stemlike cells from murine normal liver and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell lines and to further investigate stem-like cell association with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT).METHODS In this study,we utilized a stem cell conditioned serumfree medium to enrich stem-like cells from mouse HCC and normal liver cell lines,Hepa 1-6 and AML12,respectively.We isolated the 3-dimensional spheres and assessed their stemness characteristics by evaluating theRNA levels of stemness genes and a cell surface stem cell marker by quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR(q RTPCR).Next,we examined the relationship between stem cells and EMT using q RT-PCR.RESULTS Three-dimensional spheres were enriched by culturing murine HCC and normal hepatocyte cell lines in stem cell conditioned serum-free medium supplemented with epidermal growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor and heparin sulfate.The 3-dimensional spheres had enhanced stemness markers such as Klf4 and Bmi1 and hepatic cancer stem cell(CSC) marker Cd44 compared to parental cells grown as adherent cultures.We report that epithelial markers E-cadherin and ZO-1 were downregulated,while mesenchymal markers Vimentin and Fibronectin were upregulated in 3-dimensional spheres.The 3-dimensional spheres also exhibited changes in expression of Snai,Zeb and Twist family of EMT transcription factors.CONCLUSION Our novel method successfully enriched stem-like cells which possessed an EMT phenotype.The isolation and characterization of murine hepatic CSCs could establish a precise target for the development of more effective therapies for HCC. | Aparna Jayachandran Ritu Shrestha Bijay Dhungel I-Tao Huang Marianna Yumi Kawashima Vasconcelos Brian J Morrison Charmaine A Ramlogan-Steel Jason C Steel | 2017 | World Journal of Stem Cells2017,9,9: | 4 |
| 18 | Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct in liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘A case of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) arising in a patient with hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is reported. A 76-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with recurrent HCC. Laboratory data showed that levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were elevated. He died of progressive hepatic failure. At autopsy,in addition to HCCs,an intraductal papillary proliferation of malignant cholangiocytes with fibrovascular cores was found in the dilated large bile ducts in the left lobe,and this papillary carcinoma was associated with an invasive mucinous carcinoma (invasive IPNB). Interestingly,extensive intraductal spread of the cholangiocarcinoma was found from the reactive bile ductular level to the interlobular bile ducts and septal bile ducts and to the large bile ducts in the left lobe. Neural cell adhesion molecule,a hepatic progenitor cell marker,was detected in IPNB cells. It seems possible in this case that hepatic progenitor cells located in reactive bile ductules in liver cirrhosis may have been responsible for the development of the cholangiocarcinoma and HCC,and that the former could have spread in the intrahepatic bile ducts and eventually formed grossly visible IPNB. | Jing Xu Yasunori Sato Kenichi Harada Norihide Yoneda Yasuni Nakanuma Teruyuki Ueda Atsushi Kawashima Akishi Ooi | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,14: | 4 |
| 19 | Factors affecting the quality of life of patients after gastrectomy as assessed using the newly developed PGSAS-45 scale: A nationwide multi-institutional study显示文摘AIM To identify certain clinical factors other than the type of gastrectomy which affect the postoperative quality of life(QOL) of patients after gastrectomy.METHODS The postgastrectomy syndrome assessment scale(PGSAS)-45 was designed to assess the severity of symptoms, the living status and the QOL of gastrectomized patients. It consists of 45 items, of which 22 are original items while 23 were retrieved from the SF-8 and Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale questionnaires with permission. A nationwide surveillance study to validate PGSAS was conducted and 2368 gastric cancer patients who underwent various types of gastrectomy at 52 medical institutions were enrolled. Of these, 1777 patients who underwent total gastrectomy(TG) reconstructed with Roux-Y(n = 393), distal gastrectomy(DG) reconstructed with Billroth-I(n = 909), or DG reconstructed with Roux-Y(n = 475) were evaluated in the current study. The influence of the type of gastrectomy and other clinical factors such as age, sex, duration after surgery, the symptom severity, the degree of weight loss, dietary intake, and the ability for working on the postoperative QOL(i.e., dissatisfaction for daily life subscale, physical component summary and mental component summary of the SF-8) were examined by multiple regression analysis(MRA). In addition, importance of various symptoms such as esophageal reflux, abdominal pain, meal-related distress, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation and dumping on the postoperative living status and QOL were also appraised by MRA.RESULTS The postoperative QOL were significantly deteriorated in patients who underwent TG compared to those after DG. However, the extent of gastrectomy was not an influential factor on patients' QOL when adjusted by the MRA. Among various clinical factors, the symptom severity, ability for working, and necessity for additional meals were the most influential factorsto the postoperative QOL. As for the individual symptoms, meal-related distress, dumping, abdominal pain, and esophageal reflux significantly affected the postoperative QOL in that order, while the influence of indigestion, diarrhea and constipation was insignificant. CONCLUSION Several clinical factors such as the symptom severity(especially in meal-related distress and dumping), ability for working and necessity for additional meals were the main factors which affected the patients' wellbeing after gastrectomy. | Koji Nakada Masazumi Takahashi Masami Ikeda Shinichi Kinami Masashi Yoshida Yoshikazu Uenosono Yoshiyuki Kawashima Sayumi Nakao Atsushi Oshio Yoshimi Suzukamo Masanori Terashima Yasuhiro Kodera | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,40: | 4 |
| 20 | Continuous-time proportional-integral distributed optimisation for networked systems显示文摘In this paper,we explore the relationship between dual decomposition and the consensusbased method for distributed optimisation.The relationship is developed by examining the similarities between the two approaches and their relationship to gradient-based constrained optimisation.By formulating each algorithm in continuous-time,it is seen that both approaches use a gradient method for optimisation with one using a proportional control term and the other using an integral control term to drive the system to the constraint set.Therefore,a significant contribution of this paper is to combine these methods to develop a continuous-time proportional-integral distributed optimisation method.Furthermore,we establish convergence using Lyapunov stability techniques and utilising properties from the network structure of the multi-agent system. | Greg Droge Hiroaki Kawashima Magnus B.Egerstedt | 2014 | Journal of Control and Decision2014,1,3: | 3 |
