| 2 | Clinicopathological features of alpha-fetoprotein producing early gastric cancer with enteroblastic differentiation显示文摘AIM To investigate clinicopathological features of early stage gastric cancer with enteroblastic differentiation(GCED).METHODS We retrospectively investigated data on 6 cases of early stage GCED and 186 cases of early stage conventional gastric cancer(CGC: well or moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma) who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection or endoscopic mucosal resection from September 2011 to February 2015 in our hospital.GCED was defined as a tumor having a primitive intestine-like structure composed of cuboidal or columnar cells with clear cytoplasm and immunohistochemical positivity for either alpha-fetoprotein, Glypican 3 or SALL4. The following were compared between GCED and CGC: age, gender, location and size of tumor, macroscopic type, ulceration, depth of invasion, lymphatic and venous invasion, positive horizontal and vertical margin, curative resection rate.RESULTS Six cases(5 males, 1 female; mean age 75.7 years; 6 lesions) of early gastric cancer with a GCED component and 186 cases(139 males, 47 females; mean age 72.7 years; 209 lesions) of early stage CGC were investigated. Mean tumor diameters were similar but rates of submucosal invasion, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, and non-curative resection were higher in GCED than CGC(66.6% vs 11.4%, 33.3% vs 2.3%, 66.6% vs 0.4%, 83.3% vs 11% respectively, P < 0.01). Deep submucosal invasion was not revealed endoscopically or by preoperative biopsy. Histologically, in GCED the superficial mucosal layer was covered with a CGC component. The GCED component tended to exist in the deeper part of the mucosa to the submucosa by lymphatic and/or venous invasion, without severe stromal reaction. In addition, Glypican 3 was the most sensitive marker for GCED(positivity, 83.3%), immunohistochemically.CONCLUSION Even in the early stage GCED has high malignant potential, and preoperative diagnosis is considered difficult. Endoscopists and pathologists should know the clinicopathological features of this highly malignant type of cancer. | Kohei Matsumoto Hiroya Ueyama Kenshi Matsumoto Yoichi Akazawa Hiroyuki Komori Tsutomu Takeda Takashi Murakami Daisuke Asaoka Mariko Hojo Natsumi Tomita Akihito Nagahara Yoshiaki Kajiyama Takashi Yao Sumio Watanabe | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,36: | 20 |
| 3 | Evolving concepts in bone infection: redefining “biofilm”,“acute vs. chronic osteomyelitis”, “the immune proteome” and “local antibiotic therapy”显示文摘Osteomyelitis is a devastating disease caused by microbial infection of bone. While the frequency of infection following elective orthopedic surgery is low, rates of reinfection are disturbingly high. Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for the majority of chronic osteomyelitis cases and is often considered to be incurable due to bacterial persistence deep within bone. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on clinical classifications of osteomyelitis and the ensuing treatment algorithm. Given the high patient morbidity,mortality, and economic burden caused by osteomyelitis, it is important to elucidate mechanisms of bone infection to inform novel strategies for prevention and curative treatment. Recent discoveries in this field have identified three distinct reservoirs of bacterial biofilm including: Staphylococcal abscess communities in the local soft tissue and bone marrow, glycocalyx formation on implant hardware and necrotic tissue, and colonization of the osteocyte-lacuno canalicular network(OLCN) of cortical bone. In contrast, S.aureus intracellular persistence in bone cells has not been substantiated in vivo, which challenges this mode of chronic osteomyelitis. There have also been major advances in our understanding of the immune proteome against S. aureus, from clinical studies of serum antibodies and media enriched for newly synthesized antibodies(MENSA), which may provide new opportunities for osteomyelitis diagnosis, prognosis, and vaccine development. Finally, novel therapies such as antimicrobial implant coatings and antibiotic impregnated 3D-printed scaffolds represent promising strategies for preventing and managing this devastating disease. Here, we review these recent advances and highlight translational opportunities towards a cure. | Elysia A. Masters Ryan P.

| 4 | Treatment of gastric remnant cancer post distal gastrectomy by endoscopic submucosal dissection using an insulation-tipped diathermic knife显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection using an insulation-tipped diathermic knife (IT-ESD) for the treatment of patients with gastric remnant cancer. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with early gastric cancer in the remnant stomach, who underwent distal gastrectomy due to gastric carcinoma, were treated with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or ESD at Sumitomo Besshi Hospital and Shikoku Cancer Center in the 10-year period from January 1998 to December 2007, including 17 patients treated with IT-ESD. Retrospectively, patient backgrounds, the one-piece resection rate, complete resection (CR) rate, operation time, bleeding rate, and perforation rate were compared between patients treated with conventional EMR and those treated with IT-ESD. RESULTS: The CR rate (40% in the EMR group vs 82% in the IT-ESD group) was significantly higher in the IT-ESD group than in the EMR group; however, the operation time was significantly longer for the IT- ESD group (57.6 ± 31.9 min vs 21.1 ± 12.2 min). No significant differences were found in the rate of underlying cardiopulmonary disease (IT-ESD group, 12% vs EMR group, 13%), one-piece resection rate (100% vs 73%), bleeding rate (18% vs 6.7%), and perforation rate (0% vs 0%) between the two groups. CONCLUSION: IT-ESD appears to be an effective treatment for gastric remnant cancer post distal gastrectomy because of its high CR rate. It is useful for histological confirmation of successful treatment. Thelong-term outcome needs to be evaluated in the future. | Shoji Hirasaki Hiromitsu Kanzaki Minoru Matsubara Kohei Fujitav Shuji Matsumura Seiyuu Suzuki | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,16: | 18 |
| 5 | Diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘Autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP) is a distinct form of chronic pancreatitis that is increasingly being reported. The presentation and clinical image findings of AIP sometimes resemble those of several pancreatic malignancies, but the therapeutic strategy differs appreciably. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is necessary for cases of AIP. To date, AIP is classified into two distinct subtypes from the viewpoints of etiology, serum markers, histology, other organ involvements, and frequency of relapse: type 1 is related to Ig G4(lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis) and type 2 is related to a granulocytic epithelial lesion(idiopathic duct-centric chronic pancreatitis). Both types of AIP are characterized by focal or diffuse pancreatic enlargement accompanied with a narrowing of the main pancreatic duct, and both show dramatic responses to corticosteroid. Unlike type 2, type 1 is characteristically associated with increasing levels of serum Ig G4 and positive serum autoantibodies, abundant infiltration of Ig G4-positive plasmacytes, frequent extrapancreatic lesions, and relapse. These findings have led several countries to propose diagnostic criteria for AIP, which consist of essentially similar diagnostic items; however, several differences exist for each country, mainly due to differences in the definition of AIP and the modalities used to diagnose this disease. An attempt to unite the diagnostic criteria worldwide was made with the publication in 2011 of the international consensus diagnostic criteria for AIP, established at the 2010 Congress of the International Association of Pancreatology(IAP). | Hiroyuki Matsubayashi Naomi Kakushima Kohei Takizawa Masaki Tanaka Kenichiro Imai Kinichi Hotta Hiroyuki Ono | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,44: | 17 |

| 7 | Comprehensive and innovative techniques for livertransplantation in rats: A surgical guide显示文摘AIM: To investigate our learning curves of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in rats and the most important factor for successful surgery. METHODS: We describe the surgical procedures for our rat OLT model, and determined the operator learning curves. The various factors that contributed to successful surgery were determined. The most important surgical factors were evaluated between successful and unsuccessful surgeries.RESULTS: Learning curve data indicated that 50 cases were required for operator training to start a study. Operative time, blood loss, warm ischemic time, anhepatic phase, unstable systemic hemodynamic state, and body temperature after surgery significantly affected surgery success by univariate analysis, while the anhepatic phase was the most critical factor for success by multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: OLT in rats is the only liver transplantation model that provides clinically relevant and reliable results. Shortened anhepatic phase is key to success in this model. | Tomohide Hori Justin H Nguyen Yasuhiro Ogura Toshiyuki Hata Shintaro Yagi Ann-Marie T Baine Norifumi Ohashi Christopher B Eckman Aimee R Herdt Hiroto Egawa Yasutsugu Takada Fumitaka Oike Seisuke Saka-moto Mureo Kasahara Kohei Ogawa Koichiro Hata Taku Iida Yukihide Yonekawa Lena Sibulesky Kagemasa Kuribayashi Takuma Kato Kanako Saito Mie Torii Naruhiko Sahara Naoko Kamo Tomoko Sahara Motohiko Yasutomi Shinji Uemoto | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,25: | 14 |
| 8 | Treatment of over 20 mm gastric cancer by endoscopic submucosal dissection using an insulation-tipped diathermic knife显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic submucosal dissection using an insulation-tipped diathermic knife (IT-ESD) for the treatment of patients with over 20 mm early gastric cancer (EGC). METHODS: A total of 112 patients with over 10 mm EGC were treated with IT-ESD at Sumitomo Besshi Hospital and Shikoku Cancer Center in the 5 year period from January 2002 to December 2006, including 40 patients with over 20 mm EGC. We compared patient backgrounds, the one-piece resection rate, complete resection (CR) rate, operation time, bleeding rate, perforation rate between patients with over 20 mm EGC [over 20 mm group (21-40 mm)] and the remaining patients (under 20 mm group). RESULTS: We found no significant difference in the rate of underlying cardiopulmonary disease (over 20 mm group vs under 20 mm group, 5.0% vs 5.6%), one- piece resection rate (95% vs 96%), CR rate (85% vs 89%), operation time (72.3 min vs 66.5 min), bleeding rate (5% vs 4.2%), and perforation rate (0% vs 1.4%) between the 2 groups. Three patients in each group had submucosal invasion and two in each groups underwent additional surgery. CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the outcome resulting from IT-ESD between the 2 groups. Our study proves that IT-ESD is a feasible treatment for patients with over 20 mm mucosal gastric cancer although the long-term outcome should be evaluated in the future. | Shoji Hirasaki Hiromitsu Kanzaki Minoru Matsubara Kohei Fujita Fusao Ikeda Hideaki Taniguchi Eiichiro Yumoto Seiyuu Suzuki | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,29: | 13 |
| 9 | Treatment for superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors显示文摘Because of the low prevalence of non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors(NADETs),standardized clinical management of sporadic superficial NADETs,including diagnosis,treatment,and follow-up,has not yet been established.Retrospective studies have revealed certain endoscopic findings suggestive of malignancy.Duodenal adenoma with high-grade dysplasia and mucosal cancer are candidates for local resection by endoscopic or minimally invasive surgery.The use of endoscopic treatment including endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR)and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD),for the treatment for superficial NADETs is increasing.EMR requires multiple sessions to achieve complete remission and repetitive endoscopy is needed after resection.ESD provides an excellent complete resection rate,however it remains a challenging method,considering the high risk of intraoperative or delayed perforation.Minimally invasive surgery such as wedge resection and pancreas-sparing duodenectomy are beneficial for superficial NADETs that are technically difficult to remove by endoscopic treatment.Pancreaticoduodenectomy remains a standard surgical procedure for treatment of duodenal cancer with submucosal invasion,which presents a risk of lymph node metastasis.Endoscopic or surgical treatment outcomes of superficial NADETs without submucosal invasion are satisfactory.Establishing an endoscopic diagnostic tool to differentiate superficial NADETs between adenoma and cancer as well as between mucosal and submucosal cancer is required to select the most appropriate treatment. | Naomi Kakushima Hideyuki Kanemoto Masaki Tanaka Kohei Takizawa Hiroyuki Ono | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,35: | 13 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | Vitamin D and calcium are required at the time of denosumab administration during osteoporosis treatment显示文摘To evaluate the differences in outcomes of treatment with denosumab alone or denosumab combined with vitamin D and calcium supplementation in patients with primary osteoporosis. Patients were split into a denosumab monotherapy group(18 cases) or a denosumab plus vitamin D supplementation group(combination group; 23 cases). We measured serum bone alkaline phosphatase(BAP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRACP)-5 b and urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type-I collagen(NTX) at baseline, 1 week, as well as at 1 month and 2, 4, 8 and 12 months. We also measured bone mineral density(BMD) of L1–4 lumbar vertebrae(L)-BMD and bilateral hips(H)-BMD at baseline and at 4, 8 and 12 months. There was no significant difference in patient background. TRACP-5 b and urinary NTX were significantly suppressed in both groups from 1 week to 12 months(except at 12 months for NTX). In the combination group, TRACP-5 b was significantly decreased compared with the denosumab monotherapy group at 2 and 4 months(P < 0.05).BAP was significantly suppressed in both groups at 2–12 months. L-BMD significantly increased at 8 and12 months(8.9%) in the combination group and at 4, 8 and 12 months(6.0%) in the denosumab monotherapy group, compared with those before treatment. H-BMD was significantly increased in the combination group(3.6%) compared with the denosumab group(1.2%) at 12 months(P < 0.05). Compared with denosumab monotherapy, combination therapy of denosumab with vitamin D and calcium stopped the decrease in calcium caused by denosumab, inhibited bone metabolism to a greater extent, and increased BMD(especially at the hips). | Yukio Nakamura Takako Suzuki Mikio Kamimura Kohei Murakami Shota Ikegami Shigeharu Uchiyama Hiroyuki Kato | 2017 | Bone Research2017,5,4: | 11 |
| 12 | Clinical outcomes of ampullary neoplasms in resected margin positive or uncertain cases after endoscopic papillectomy显示文摘BACKGROUND Endoscopic papillectomy(EP) for benign ampullary neoplasms could be a lessinvasive alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy(PD). There are some problems and limitations with EP. The post-EP resection margins of ampullary tumors are often positive or uncertain because of the burning effect of EP. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP remain unknown.AIM To investigate the clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP.METHODS Between January 2007 and October 2018, all patients with ampullary tumors who underwent EP at Kobe University Hospital were included in this study. The indications for EP were as follows: adenoma, as determined by preoperative endoscopic biopsy, without bile/pancreatic duct extension, according to endoscopic ultrasound or intraductal ultrasound. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP were retrospectively investigated.RESULTS Of the 45 patients, 29 were male, and 16 were female. The mean age of the patients was 65 years old. Forty-one patients(89.5%) underwent en bloc resection,and 4 patients(10.5%) underwent piecemeal resection. After EP, 33 tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as adenoma, and 12 were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The resected margins were positive or uncertain in 24 patients(53.3%). Of these cases, 15 and 9 were diagnosed as adenoma and adenocarcinoma, respectively. Follow-up observation was selected for all adenomas and 5 adenocarcinomas. In the remaining 4 adenocarcinoma cases,additional PD was performed. Additional PD was performed in 4 cases, and residual carcinoma was found after the additional PD in 1 of these cases. In the follow-up period, local tumor recurrence was detected in 3 cases. Two of these cases involved primary EP-diagnosed adenoma. The recurrent tumors were also adenomas detected by biopsy. The remaining case involved primary EPdiagnosed adenocarcinoma. The recurrent tumor was also an adenocarcinoma.All of the recurrent tumors were successfully treated with argon plasma coagulation(APC). There was no local or lymph node recurrence after the APC.The post-APC follow-up periods lasted for 57.1 to 133.8 mo. No ampullary tumor-related deaths occurred in all patients.CONCLUSION Resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP could be managed by endoscopic treatment including APC, even in cases of adenocarcinoma. EP could become an effective less-invasive first-line treatment for early stage ampullary tumors. | Arata Sakai Masahiro Tsujimae Atsuhiro Masuda Takao Iemoto Shigeto Ashina Kohei Yamakawa Takeshi Tanaka Shunta Tanaka Yasutaka Yamada Ryota Nakano Yu Sato Manabu Kurosawa Takuya Ikegawa Seiji Fujigaki Takashi Kobayashi Hideyuki Shiomi Yoshifumi Arisaka Tomoo Itoh Yuzo Kodama | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,11: | 9 |
| 13 | Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia previously diagnosed as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a patient with hepatitis C virus infection显示文摘We report the first case of a patient with hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP), who later developed acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia(AAMT), with autoantibodies to the thrombopoietin(TPO) receptor(c-Mpl). A 64-year-old woman, with chronic hepatitis C, developed severe thrombocytopenia and was diagnosed with ITP. She died of liver failure. Autopsy revealed cirrhosis and liver carcinoma. In the bone marrow, a marked reduction in the number of megakaryocytes was observed, while other cell lineages were preserved. Therefore, she was diagnosed with AAMT. Additionally, autoantibodies to c-Mpl were detected in her serum. Autoantibodies to c-Mpl are one of the causes of AAMT, acting through inhibition of TPO function, megakaryocytic maturation, and platelet formation. HCV infection induces several autoantibodies. HCV infection might also induce autoantibodies to c-Mpl, resulting in the development of AAMT. This mechanism may be one of the causes of thrombocytopenia in patients with HCV infection. | Shojiro Ichimata Mikiko Kobayashi Kohei Honda Soichiro Shibata Akihiro Matsumoto Hiroyuki Kanno | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,35: | 8 |
| 14 | A minimally invasive multiple percutaneous drainage technique for acute necrotizing pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND: In approximately 20% of patients, necrotizing pancreatitis is complicated with severe acute pancreatitis, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Minimally invasive step-up approach is both safe and effective, but sometimes requires multiple access sites.METHODS: A 62-year-old woman was admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis, and initial computed tomography(CT) revealed no evidence of acute pancreatitis. She was clinically improved with insulin therapy, fl uid administration, and electrolyte replacement. However, on the 14 th day of admission, she developed a high-grade fever, and CT demonstrated evidence of acute necrotizing pancreatitis with a large collection of peripancreatic fl uid. Percutaneous transgastric drainage was performed and a 14 French gauge(Fr) pigtail catheter was placed 1 week later, which drained copious pus. Because of persistent high-grade fever and poor clinical improvement, multiple 8 and 10 Fr pigtail catheters were placed via the initial drainage route, allowing the safe and effective drainage of the extensive necrotic tissue that was occupying the bilateral anterior pararenal space.RESULTS: After drainage, the patient recovered well and the last catheter was removed on day 123 of admission.CONCLUSIONS: Multiple percutaneous drainage requires both careful judgment and specialist skills. The perforation of the colon and small bowel as well as the injury of the kidney and major vessels can occur. The current technique appears to be safe and minimally invasive compared with other drainage methods in patients with extended, infected necrotic pancreatic pseudocysts. | Takero Terayama Toru Hifumi Nobuaki Kiriu Hiroshi Kato Yuichi Koido Yoshiaki Ichinose Kohei Morimoto Kuroda Yasuhiro | 2014 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2014,5,4: | 7 |
| 15 | Low preoperative platelet counts predict a high mortality after partial hepatectomy in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To assess the validity of our selection criteria for hepatectomy procedures based on indocyanine green disappearance rate (KICG), and to unveil the factors affecting posthepatectomy mortality in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 198 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent partial hepatectomies in the past 14 years was conducted. The selection criteria for hepatectomy procedures during the study period were KICG≥0.12 for hemihepatectomy, KICG≥0.10 for bisegmentectomy, KICG≥0.08 for monosegmentectomy, and KICG ≥0.06 for nonanatomic hepatectomy. The hepatectomies were categorized into three types: major hepatectomy (hemihepatectomy or a more extensive procedure),bisegmentectomy, and limited hepatectomy. Univariate (Fishers exact test) and multivariate (the logistic regression model) analyses were used.RESULTS: Postoperative mortality was 5% after major hepatectomy, 3% after bisegmentectomy, and 3% after limited hepatectomy. The three percentages were comparable (P = 0.876). The platelet count of ≤ 10x 104/μL was the strongest independent factor for postoperative mortality on univariate (P = 0.001) and multivariate (risk ratio,12.5; P= 0.029) analyses. No patient with a platelet count of >7.3x 104/μL died of postoperative morbidity, whereas 25% (6/24 patients) of patients with a platelet count of ≤7.3x 104/μL died (P<0.001).CONCLUSION: The selection criteria for hepatectomy procedures based on KICG are generally considered valid,because of the acceptable morbidity and mortality with these criteria. The preoperative platelet count independently affects morbidity and mortality after hepatectomy, suggesting that a combination of KICG and platelet count would further reduce postoperative mortality. | Kazuhiro Kaneko Yoshio Shirai Toshifumi Wakai Naoyuki Yokoyama Kohei Akazawa Katsuyoshi Hatakeyama | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,37: | 7 |
| 16 | BMP-induced Atoh8 attenuates osteoclastogenesis by suppressing Runx2 transcriptional activity and reducing the Rankl/Opg expression ratio in osteoblasts显示文摘Adult bone structural integrity is maintained by remodeling via the coupling of osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation.Osteocytes or osteoblasts express receptor activator of nuclear factor k-B ligand(Rankl)or osteoprotegerin(Opg)to promote or inhibit osteoclastogenesis,respectively.Bone morphogenetic protein(BMP)is a potent bone inducer,but its major role in adult bone is to induce osteocytes to upregulate sclerostin(Sost)and increase the Rankl/Opg expression ratio,resulting in promotion of osteoclastogenesis.However,the precise effect of BMP-target gene(s)in osteoblasts on the Rankl/Opg expression ratio remains unclear.In the present study,we identified atonal homolog 8(Atoh8),which is directly upregulated by the BMPSmadl axis in osteoblasts.In vivo,Atoh8 was detected in osteoblasts but not osteocytes in adult mice.Although global Atoh8-knockout mice showed only a mild phenotype in the neonate skeleton,the bone volume was decreased and osteoclasts were increased in the adult phase.Atoh8-null marrow stroma cells were more potent than wild-type cells in inducing osteoclastogenesis in marrow cells.Atoh8 loss in osteoblasts increased Runx2 expression and the Rankl/Opg expression ratio,while Runx2 knockdown normalized the Rankl/Opg expression ratio.Moreover,Atoh8 formed a protein complex with Runx2 to inhibit Runx2 transcriptional activity and decrease the Rankl/Opg expression ratio.These results suggest that bone remodeling is regulated elaborately by BMP signaling;while BMP primarily promotes bone resorption,it simultaneously induces Atoh8 to inhibit Runx2 and reduce the Rankl/Opg expression ratio in osteoblasts,suppressing osteoclastogenesis and preventing excessive BMP-mediated bone resorption. | Yuhei Yahiro Shingo Maeda Masato Morikawa Daizo Koinuma Go Jokoji Toshiro ljuin Setsuro Komiya Ryoichiro Kageyama Kohei Miyazono Noboru Taniguchi | 2020 | Bone Research2020,8,3: | 6 |

| 18 | 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 |

| 20 | Effects on coagulation factor production following primary hepatomitogen-induced direct hyperplasia显示文摘AIM:To investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in coagulation factor expression and/or function during direct hyperplasia(DH) -mediated liver regeneration.METHODS:Direct hyperplasia-mediated liver regeneration was induced in female C57BL/6 mice by administering 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy) ] benzene(TCPOBOP) ,a representative hepatomitogen.Mice were weighed and sacrificed at various time points [Day 0(D0:prior to injection) ,3 h,D1,D2,D3,and D10] after TCPOBOP administration to obtain liver and blood samples.Using the RNA samples extracted from the liver,a comprehensive analysis was performed on the hepatic gene expression profiling of coagulation-related factors by real-time RT-PCR(fibrinogen,prothrombin,factors Ⅴ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,Ⅸ,Ⅹ,Ⅺ,Ⅻ,XⅢβ,plasminogen,antithrombin,protein C,protein S,ADAMTS13,and VWF) .The corresponding plasma levels of coagulation factors(fibrinogen,prothrombin,factors Ⅴ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,Ⅸ,Ⅹ,Ⅺ,Ⅻ,XⅢ,and VWF) were also analyzed and compared with their mRNA levels.RESULTS:Gavage administration of TCPOBOP(3 mg/kg body weight) resulted in a marked and gradual increase in the weight of the mouse livers relative to the total body weight to 220% by D10 relative to the D0(control) ratios.At the peak of liver regeneration(D1 and D2) ,the gene expression levels for most of the coagulationrelated factors(fibrinogen,prothrombin,factors Ⅴ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,Ⅸ,Ⅺ,Ⅻ,XⅢβ,plasminogen,antithrombin,protein C,ADAMTS13,VWF) were found to be downregulated in a time-dependent manner,and gradually recovered by D10 to the basal levels.Only mRNA levels of factor Ⅹ and protein S failed to show any decrease during the regenerative phase.As for the plasma levels,5 clotting factors(prothrombin,factors Ⅷ,Ⅸ,Ⅺ,and Ⅻ) demonstrated a significant decrease(P < 0.05) during the regeneration phase compared with D0.Among these 5 factors,factor Ⅸ and factor Ⅺ showed the most dramatic decline in their activities by about 50% at D2 compared to the basal levels,and these reductions in plasma activity for both factors were consistent with our RT-PCR findings.In contrast,the plasma activities of the other coagulation factors(fibrinogen,factors Ⅴ,Ⅶ,XⅢ,and VWF) were not significantly reduced,despite the reduction in the liver mRNA levels.Unlike the other factors,FX showed a temporal increase in its plasma activity,with significant increases(P < 0.05) detected at D1.CONCLUSION:Investigating the coagulation cascade protein profiles during liver regeneration by DH may help to better understand the basic biology of the liver under normal and pathological conditions. | Kohei Tatsumi Kazuo Ohashi Sanae Taminishi Soichi Takagi Rie Utoh Akira Yoshioka Midori Shima Teruo Okano | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,42: | 5 |
