2Urgent endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy for acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis-induced sepsis显示文摘Acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis(AOSC) due to biliary lithiasis is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent biliary decompression. Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) with stent placement is the current gold standard for biliary decompression, it can sometimes be difficult because of failed biliary cannulation. In this retrospective case series, we describe three cases of successful biliary drainage with recovery from septic shock after urgent endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy(EUS-CDS) was performed for AOSC due to biliary lithiasis. In all three cases, technical success in inserting the stents was achieved and the patients completely recovered from AOSC with sepsis in a few days after EUS-CDS. There were no procedure-related complications. When initial ERCP fails, EUS-CDS can be an effective life-saving endoscopic biliary decompression procedure that shortens the procedure time and prevents post-ERCP pancreatitis, particularly in patients with AOSC-induced sepsis.Kosuke Minaga Masayuki Kitano Hajime Imai Kentaro Yamao Ken Kamata Takeshi Miyata Shunsuke Omoto Kumpei Kadosaka Tomoe Yoshikawa Masatoshi Kudo 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,16:18
3Adenoid cystic carcinoma of breast: Recent advances显示文摘Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) of the breast is a rare special subtype of breast cancer characterized by the presence of a dual cell population of luminal and basaloid cells arranged in specific growth patterns. Most breast cancers with triple-negative, basal-like breast features(i.e., tumors that are devoid of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expression, and express basal cell markers) are generally high-grade tumors with an aggressive clinical course. Conversely, while ACCs also display a triple-negative, basal-like phenotype, they are usually low-grade and exhibit an indolent clinical behavior. Many discoveries regarding the molecular and genetic features of the ACC, including a specific chromosomal translocation t(6;9) that results in a MYB-NFIB fusion gene, have been made in recent years. This comprehensive review provides our experience with ACC of the breast, as well as an overview of clinical, histopathological, and molecular genetic features.Kosuke Miyai Mary R Schwartz Mukul K Divatia Rose C Anton Yong Wook Park Alberto G Ayala Jae Y Ro 2014World Journal of Clinical Cases2014,2,12:16
4Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage for acute cholecystitis: Long-term outcomes after removal of a self-expandable metal stent显示文摘AIM To assess the long-term outcomes of this procedure after removal of self-expandable metal stent(SEMS). The efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasoundguided gallbladder drainage(EUS-GBD) with SEMS were also assessed.METHODS Between January 2010 and April 2015, 12 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis, who were deemed unsuitable for cholecystectomy, underwent EUSGBD with a SEMS. EUS-GBD was performed under the guidance of EUS and fluoroscopy, by puncturing the gallbladder with a needle, inserting a guidewire, dilating the puncture hole, and placing a SEMS. TheSEMS was removed and/or replaced with a 7-Fr plastic pigtail stent after cholecystitis improved. The technical and clinical success rates, adverse event rate, and recurrence rate were all measured.RESULTS The rates of technical success, clinical success, and adverse events were 100%, 100%, and 0%, respectively. After cholecystitis improved, the SEMS was removed without replacement in eight patients, whereas it was replaced with a 7-Fr pigtail stent in four patients. Recurrence was seen in one patient(8.3%) who did not receive a replacement pigtail stent. The median follow-up period after EUS-GBD was 304 d(78-1492).CONCLUSION EUS-GBD with a SEMS is a possible alternative treatment for acute cholecystitis. Long-term outcomes after removal of the SEMS were excellent. Removal of the SEMS at 4-wk after SEMS placement and improvement of symptoms might avoid migration of the stent and recurrence of cholecystitis due to food impaction.Ken Kamata Mamoru Takenaka Masayuki Kitano Shunsuke Omoto Takeshi Miyata Kosuke Minaga Kentaro Yamao Hajime Imai Toshiharu Sakurai Tomohiro Watanabe Naoshi Nishida Masatoshi Kudo 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,4:15
5Ratio of mean platelet volume to platelet count is a potential surrogate marker predicting liver cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To provide a simple surrogate marker predictive of liver cirrhosis(LC).METHODS Specimens from 302 patients who underwent resection for hepatocellular carcinoma between January 2006 and December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on pathologic findings, patients were divided into groups based on whether or not they had LC. Parameters associated with hepatic functional reserve were compared in these two groups using MannWhitney U-test for univariate analysis. Factors differing significantly in univariate analyses were entered into multivariate logistic regression analysis.RESULTS There were significant differences between the LC group(n = 100) and non-LC group(n = 202) in prothrombin activity, concentrations of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, albumin, cholinesterase, type Ⅳ collagen, hyaluronic acid, indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min, maximal removal rate of technitium-99 m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid-galactosyl human serum albumin and ratio of mean platelet volume to platelet count(MPV/PLT). Multivariate analysis showed that prothrombin activity, concentrations of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin and hyaluronic acid, and MPV/PLT ratio were factors independently predictive of LC. The area under the curve value for MPV/PLT was 0.78,with a 0.8 cutoff value having a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 78%.CONCLUSION The MPV/PLT ratio, which can be determined simply from the complete blood count, may be a simple surrogate marker predicting LC.Hiroya Iida Masaki Kaibori Kosuke Matsui Morihiko Ishizaki Masanori Kon 2018World Journal of Hepatology2018,10,1:14
6Rifaximin 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 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,47:14
7Autoimmune hepatitis and IgG4-related disease显示文摘IgG4-related disease(IgG4-RD) is a chronic-fibroinflammatory disorder affecting a wide range of organs. Elevation of serum IgG4 concentrations and abundant infiltration of IgG4-expressing plasma cells are key diagnostic features of this autoimmune disease. Although common organ involvement of IgG4-RD includes the salivary glands, pancreas, and bile duct, hepatic involvement is less well established. Recently, five studies identified a subtype of autoimmune hepatitis(AIH), called IgG4-associated AIH(IgG4-AIH). IgG4-AIH is diagnosed based on significant accumulation of IgG4-expressing plasmacytes in the liver in patients who met the diagnostic criteria for classical AIH. Although four of the five reports regarded IgG4-AIH based on hepatic accumulation of IgG4-positive cells alone, one report diagnosed IgG4-AIH based on both hepatic accumulation of IgG4-positive cells and elevated serum concentrations of IgG4. IgG4-AIH diagnosed based on the latter criteria may be a hepatic manifestation of IgG4-RD whereas IgG4-AIH diagnosed based on the former criteria may be a subtype of AIH. In this review article, we summarize and discuss clinicopathological features of IgG4-AIH.Kosuke Minaga Tomohiro Watanabe Hobyung Chung Masatoshi Kudo 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,19:13
8An updated review of gastric cancer in the next-generation sequencing era:Insights from bench to bedside and vice versa显示文摘Gastric cancer(GC)is one of the most common malignancies and remains the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide.There is an increasing understanding of the roles that genetic and epigenetic alterations play in GCs.Recent studies using nextgeneration sequencing(NGS)have revealed a number of potential cancer-driving genes in GC.Whole-exome sequencing of GC has identified recurrent somatic mutations in the chromatin remodeling gene ARID1A and alterations in the cell adhesion gene FAT4,a member of the cadherin gene family.Mutations in chromatin remodeling genes(ARID1A,MLL3 and MLL)have been found in 47%of GCs.Whole-genome sequencing and whole-transcriptome sequencing analyses have also discovered novel alterations in GC.Recent studies of cancer epigenetics have revealed widespread alterations in genes involved in the epigenetic machinery,such as DNA methylation,histone modifications,nucleosome positioning,noncoding RNAs and microRNAs.Recent advances in molecular research on GC have resulted in the introduction of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies into clinical settings.The antihuman epidermal growth receptor 2(HER2)antibody trastuzumab has led to an era of personalized therapy in GC.In addition,ramucirumab,a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR)-2,is the first biological treatment that showed survival benefits as a single-agent therapy in patients with advanced GC who progressed after firstline chemotherapy.Using NGS to systematically identify gene alterations in GC is a promising approach with remarkable potential for investigating the pathogenesis of GC and identifying novel therapeutic targets,as well as useful biomarkers.In this review,we will summarize the recent advances in the understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of GC,focusing on the potential use of these genetic and epigenetic alterations as diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets.Hiroyuki Yamamoto Yoshiyuki Watanabe Tadateru Maehata Ryo Morita Yoshihito Yoshida Ritsuko Oikawa Shinya Ishigooka Shun-ichiro Ozawa Yasumasa Matsuo Kosuke Hosoya Masaki Yamashita Hiroaki Taniguchi Katsuhiko Nosho Hiromu Suzuki Hiroshi Yasuda Yasuhisa Shinomura Fumio Itoh 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,14:12
9Short-type single balloon enteroscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with altered gastrointestinal anatomy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of a short-type single-balloon-enteroscope(SBE) for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) in patients with a reconstructed intestine.METHODS:Short-type SBE was developed to perform ERCP in postoperative patients with a reconstructed intestine.Short-type SBE is a direct-viewing endoscope with the following specifications:working length,1520 mm;total length,1840 mm;channel diameter,3.2 mm.In addition,short-type SBE has a water-jet channel.The study group comprised 22 patients who underwent 31 sessions of short-type SBE-assisted ERCP from June 2011 through May 2012.Reconstruction was performed by Billroth-Ⅱ(B-Ⅱ) gastrectomy in 6 patients(8 sessions),Roux-en-Y(R-Y) gastrectomy in 14 patients(21 sessions),and R-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 2 patients(2 sessions).We retrospectively studied the rate of reaching the blind end(papilla of Vater or choledochojejunal anastomosis),mean time required to reach the blind end,diagnostic success rate(defined as the rate of successfully imaging the bile and pancreatic ducts),therapeutic success rate(defined as the rate of successfully completing endoscopic treatment),mean procedure time,and complications.RESULTS:Among the 31 sessions of ERCP,the rate of reaching the blind end was 88% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,91% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The mean time required to reach the papilla was 18.3 min in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,21.1 min in R-Y gastrectomy,and 32.5 min in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The diagnostic success rates in all patients and those with an intact papilla were respectively 86% and 86% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,90% and 87% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The therapeutic success rates in all patients and those with an intact papilla were respectively 100% and 100% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,94% and 92% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.Because the channel diameter was 3.2 mm,stone extraction could be performed with a wire-guided basket in 12 sessions,and wireguided intraductal ultrasonography could be performed in 8 sessions.As for complications,hyperamylasemia(defined as a rise in serum amylase levels to more than 3 times the upper limit of normal) occurred in 1 patient(7 sessions) with a B-Ⅱ gastrectomy and 4 patients(19 sessions) with an R-Y gastrectomy.After ERCP in patients with an R-Y gastrectomy,2 patients(19 sessions) had pancreatitis,1 patient(21 sessions) had gastrointestinal perforation,and 1 patient(19 sessions) had papillary bleeding.Pancreatitis and bleeding were both mild.Gastrointestinal perforation improved after conservative treatment.CONCLUSION:Short-type SBE is effective for ERCP in patients with a reconstructed intestine and allows most conventional ERCP devices to be used.Hiroshi Yamauchi Mitsuhiro Kida Kosuke Okuwaki Shiro Miyazawa Tomohisa Iwai Miyoko Takezawa Hidehiko Kikuchi Maya Watanabe Hiroshi Imaizumi Wasaburo Koizumi 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,11:10
10study to determine guidelines for pediatric colonoscopy显示文摘AIM To investigated characteristics, diagnosis, bowelcleansing preparation, sedation, and colonoscope length and diameter in Japanese pediatric patients receiving total colonoscopy.METHODS The present study evaluated consecutive patients aged ≤ 15 years who had undergone their first colonoscopy in Kurume University between January 2007 and February 2015. Data were retrospectively analyzed. We identified 110 pediatric patients who had undergone colonoscopy that had reached the cecum, allowing the observation of the total colon.RESULTS Hematochezia, abdominal pain, and diarrhea were the most common symptoms. For bowel-cleansing preparation, pediatric patients aged ≤ 12 years were treated with magnesium citrate, and patients aged 13-15 years were treated with polyethylene glycol 4000. For sedation, thiamylal with pentazocine, which has an analgesic effect, was used in patients aged ≤ 6 years, and midazolam with pentazocine was used in patients aged ≥ 7 years. Regarding the choice of endoscope, short and thin endoscopes were selected for younger patients, particularly patients aged ≤ 3 years. Positive diagnoses were made in 78 patients(70.9%). Inflammatory bowel disease(n = 49, 44.5%), including ulcerative colitis(n = 37, 33.6%) and Crohn's disease(n = 12, 10.9%), was the most common diagnosis. CONCLUSION Colonoscopy offers a high diagnostic capability for pediatric patients with gastrointestinal symptoms. The selection of appropriate management the performance of colonoscopy is important in pediatric patients.Shinichiro Yoshioka Hidetoshi Takedatsu Shuhei Fukunaga Kotaro Kuwaki Hiroshi Yamasaki RyosukeYamauchi Atsushi Mori Hiroshi Kawano Tadahiro Yanagi Tatsuki Mizuochi Kosuke Ushijima Keiichi Mitsuyama Osamu Tsuruta Takuji Torimura 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,31:10
11Innovations and techniques for balloon-enteroscopeassisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy显示文摘Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) remains challenging in patients who have undergone surgical reconstruction of the intestine.Recently,many studies have reported that balloonenteroscope-assisted ERCP(BEA-ERCP) is a safe and effective procedure.However,further improvements in outcomes and the development of simplified procedures are required.Percutaneous treatment,Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP,endoscopic ultrasoundguided anterograde intervention,and open surgery are effective treatments.However,treatment should be noninvasive,effective,and safe.We believe that these procedures should be performed only in difficult-to-treat patients because of many potential complications.BEA-ERCP still requires high expertiselevel techniques and is far from a routinely performed procedure.Various techniques have been proposed to facilitate scope insertion(insertion with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD) rendezvous technique,Short type single-balloon enteroscopes with passive bending section,Intraluminal injection of indigo carmine,CO2 inflation guidance),cannulation(PTBD or percutaneous transgallbladder drainage rendezvous technique,Dilation using screw drill,Rendezvous technique combining DBE with a cholangioscope,endoscopic ultrasound-guided rendezvous technique),and treatment(overtube-assisted technique,Short type balloon enteroscopes) during BEA-ERCP.The use of these techniques may allow treatment to be performed by BEA-ERCP in many patients.A standard procedure for ERCP yet to be established for patients with a reconstructed intestine.At present,BEA-ERCP is considered the safest and most effective procedure and is therefore likely to be recommended as firstline treatment.In this article,we discuss the current status of BEA-ERCP in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy.Hiroshi Yamauchi Mitsuhiro Kida Hiroshi Imaizumi Kosuke Okuwaki Shiro Miyazawa Tomohisa Iwai Wasaburo Koizumi 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,21:9
12Helicobacter pylori infection in subjects negative for high titer serum antibody显示文摘AIM To investigate the clinicopathological features of the patients testing negative for high titer serum antiHelicobacter pylori(H. pylori) antibody.METHODS The antibody titers were measured using antigens derived from Japanese individuals. ^(13)C-urea breath test-positive individuals were defined as having H. pylori infection. We investigated the demographic characteristics, laboratory data, endoscopic findings including Kyoto classification of gastritis, and histology in negative-high titer patients without H. pylori eradication therapy. Kyoto classification consisted of scores for gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and redness.RESULTS Of the 136 subjects enrolled, 23(17%) had H. pylori infection. Kyoto classification had an excellent area under the receiver operating characteristics curve(0.886, 95% confidence interval: 0.803-0.968, P = 3.7 × 10^(-20)) for predicting H. pylori infection with a cutoff value of 2. Further, Kyoto classification, H. pylori density, and neutrophil activity had high accuracies(89.7%, 96.3%, and 94.1%, respectively). Kyoto classification was independent of the demographic and laboratory parameters in multivariate analysis.CONCLUSION Endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis is a useful predictor of H. pylori infection in negative-high titer antibody patients.Osamu Toyoshima Toshihiro Nishizawa Masahide Arita Yosuke Kataoka Kosuke Sakitani Shuntaro Yoshida Hiroharu Yamashita Keisuke Hata Hidenobu Watanabe Hidekazu Suzuki 2018World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,13:9
13Serum anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody titer and its association with gastric nodularity,atrophy,and age:A cross-sectional study显示文摘AIM To clarify the role of serum anti-Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) antibody titers in gastric cancer.METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the effect of patients' baseline characteristics and endoscopic findings on their serum antibody titers were assessed. We evaluated consecutive patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and their first evaluation for H. pylori infection using a serum antibody test. We excluded patients with a history of eradication therapy. The participants were divided into four groups according to their E-plate serum antibody titer. Patients with serum antibody titers < 3, 3-9.9, 10-49.9, and ≥ 50 U/m L were classified into groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. RESULTS In total, 874 participants were analyzed with 70%, 16%, 8.7%, and 5.1% of them in the groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. Patients in group C were older than patients in groups A and B. Gastric open-type atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, diffuse redness, and duodenal ulcers were associated with a high titer. Regular arrangements of collecting venules, fundic gland polyps, superficial gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease were related to a low titer. Multivariate analysis revealed that nodularity(P = 0.0094), atrophy(P = 0.0076), and age 40-59 years(vs age ≥ 60 years, P = 0.0090) were correlated with a high serum antibody titer in H. pylori-infected patients. Intestinal metaplasia and atrophy were related to age ≥ 60 years in group C and D.CONCLUSION Serum antibody titer changes with age, reflects gastric mucosal inflammation, and is useful in predicting the risk of gastric cancer.Osamu Toyoshima Toshihiro Nishizawa Kosuke Sakitani Tadahiro Yamakawa Yoshiyuki Takahashi Nobutake Yamamichi Keisuke Hata Yasuyuki Seto Kazuhiko Koike Hidenobu Watanabe Hidekazu Suzuki 2018World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,35:9
14Selective Mimics of Strigolactone Actions and Their Potential Use for Controlling Damage Caused by Root Parasitic Weeds显示文摘Strigolactones (SL ) 是植物荷尔蒙和根围通讯信号的一个新奇的类,尽管位于他们的活动下面的分子的机制还没是充分坚定的。他们的应用程序也不在很好开发的农业。植物荷尔蒙收缩筋的重要性在基本、适用的研究被表明了,并且模仿 strigolactone 功能的化学药品应该极大地便于 strigolactone 研究。这里,我们报导我们新 phenoxyfuranone 混合物的发现, 4-Br debranone (4BD ) ,那显示出类似的活动到主要 strigolactone (SL ) 的在植物上的生物试金的许多方面的模拟 GR24。4BD 强烈在象 GR24 的一样的集中在 SL 缺乏的米饭异种 d10 禁止了 tiller 芽长出,没有不利效果,甚至在延长耕作期间。这结果也在 Arabidopsis thaliana 被观察 SL 缺乏的异种 max1, max3,和 max4。然而,到 Arabidopsis SL 感觉迟钝的变异的 max2 的 4BD 的应用程序没在它导致词法变化。SL biosynthetic 基因的表示被 4BD 处理也减少,可能经由否定反馈规定。然而在 Striga hermonthica 上的种子萌芽试金,一条根寄生植物, 4BD 远比 GR24 显示出更少的活动。这些结果建议 4BD 是第一植物特定的 strigolactone 模仿。Kosuke Fukui Shinsaku Ito Tadao Asami 2013Molecular Plant2013,6,1:9
15Crosstalk 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 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,41:9
16Biomarkers in autoimmune pancreatitis and immunoglobulin G4-related disease显示文摘Solitary organ autoimmune disorders,formerly known as autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP),autoimmune sialadenitis,and autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis,are now considered organ-specific manifestations of systemic immunoglobulin G4-related disease(IgG4-RD).AIP and IgG4-RD are characterized by elevated serum concentration of IgG4 antibody(Ab),accumulation of IgG4-expressing plasmacytes in the affected organs,and involvement of multiple organs.It is well established that enhanced IgG4 Ab responses are a hallmark of AIP and IgG4-RD for diagnosis and monitoring disease activity.However,a significant fraction of patients with AIP and IgG4-RD who develop chronic fibroinflammatory responses have normal serum concentrations of this IgG subtype.In addition,disease flare-up is sometimes seen even in the presence of normalized serum concentrations of IgG4 Ab after successful induction of remission by prednisolone.Therefore,it is necessary to identify new biomarkers based on the understanding of the pathophysiology of AIP and IgG4-RD.Recently,we found that activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells producing both interferon-α(IFN-α)and interleukin-33(IL-33)mediate murine AIP and human IgG4-RD.More importantly,we provided evidence that serum concentrations of IFN-αand IL-33 could be useful biomarkers for the diagnosis and monitoring of AIP and IgG4-RD activity after induction of remission in these autoimmune disorders.In this Frontier article,we have summarized and discussed biomarkers of AIP and IgG4-RD,including Igs,autoAbs,and cytokines to provide useful information not only for clinicians but also for researchers.Akane Hara Tomohiro Watanabe Kosuke Minaga Tomoe Yoshikawa Ken Kamata Masatoshi Kudo 2021World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,19:8
17Serum 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 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,36:6
18Exenatide improves hepatic steatosis by enhancing lipid use in adipose tissue in nondiabetic rats显示文摘AIM:To investigate the metabolic changes in skeletal muscle and/or adipose tissue in glucagon-like peptide-1-induced improvement of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS:Male Wistar rats were fed either a control diet(control group)or a high-fat diet(HFD).After 4wk,the HFD-fed rats were subdivided into two groups;one group was injected with exenatide[HFD-Ex(+)group]and the other with saline[HFD-Ex(-)group]every day for 12 wk.The control group received saline and were fed a control diet.Changes in weight gain,energy intake,and oxygen consumption were analyzed.Glucose tolerance tests were performed after 8 wk of treatment.Histological assessments were performed in liver and adipose tissue.RNA expression levels of lipid metabolism related genes were evaluated in liver,skeletal muscle,and adipose tissue.RESULTS:Exenatide attenuated weight gain[HFDEx(-)vs HFD-Ex(+)]and reduced energy intake,which was accompanied by an increase in oxygen consumption and a decrease in the respiratory exchange ratio[HFD-Ex(-)vs HFD-Ex(+)].However,exenatide did not affect glucose tolerance.Exenatide reduced lipid content in the liver and adipose tissue.Exenatide did not affect the expression of lipid metabolism-related genes in the liver or skeletal muscle.In adipose tissue,exenatide significantly upregulated lipolytic genes,including hormone-sensitive lipase,carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1,long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase,and acyl-CoA oxidase 1[HFD-Ex(-)vs HFD-Ex(+)].Exenatide also upregulated catalase and superoxide dismutase 2[HFD-Ex(-)vs HFD-Ex(+)].CONCLUSION:In addition to reducing appetite,enhanced lipid use by exenatide in adipose tissue may reduce hepatic lipid content in NAFLD,most likely by decreasing lipid influx into the liver.Kosuke Tanaka Yuko Masaki Masatake Tanaka Masayuki Miyazaki Munechika Enjoji Makoto Nakamuta Masaki Kato Masatoshi Nomura Toyoshi Inoguchi Kazuhiro Kotoh Ryoichi Takayanagi 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,10:6
19Combined 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 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,23:5
20En bloc pancreaticoduodenectomy and right hemicolectomy for locally advanced right-sided colon cancer显示文摘AIM To assess the usefulness of en bloc right hemicolectomy with pancreaticoduodenectomy(RHCPD) for locally advanced right-sided colon cancer(LARCC).METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the database of Saitama Medical Center, Jichi Medical University, between January 2009 and December 2016. During this time, 299 patients underwent radical right hemicolectomy for right-sided colon cancer. Among them, 5 underwent RHCPD for LARCC with tumor infiltration to adjacent organs. Preoperative computed tomography(CT) was routinely performed to evaluate local tumor infiltration into adjacent organs. During the operation, we evaluated the resectability and the amount of infiltration into the adjacent organs without dissecting the adherent organs from the cancer. When we confirmed that radical resection was feasible and could lead to R0 resection, we performed RHCPD. The clinical data were carefully reviewed, and the demographic variables, intraoperative data, and postoperative parameters were recorded.RESULTS The median age of the 5 patients who underwent RHCPD for LARCC was 70 years. The tumors were located in the ascending colon(three patients) and transverse colon(two patients). Preoperative CT revealed infiltration of the tumor into the duodenum in all patients, the pancreas in four patients, the superior mesenteric vein(SMV) in two patients, and tumor thrombosis in the SMV in one patient. We performed RHCPD plus SMV resection in three patients. Major postoperative complications occurred in 3 patients(60%) as pancreatic fistula(grade B and grade C, according to International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula Definition) and delayed gastric empty. None of the patients died during their hospital stay. A histological examination confirmed malignant infiltration into the duodenum and/or pancreas in 4 patients(80%), and no patients showed any malignant infiltration into the SMV. Two patients were histologically confirmed to have tumor thrombosis in the SMV. All of the tumors had clear resection margins(R0). The median follow-up time was 77 mo. During this period, two patients with tumor thrombosis died from liver metastasis. The overall survival rates were 80% at 1 year and 60% at 5 years. All patients with node-negative status(n = 2) survived for more than seven years.CONCLUSION This study showed that the long-term survival is possible for patients with LARCC if RHCPD is performed successfully, particularly in those with node-negative status.Yuji Kaneda Hiroshi Noda Yuhei Endo Nao Kakizawa Kosuke Ichida Fumiaki Watanabe Takaharu Kato Yasuyuki Miyakura Koichi Suzuki Toshiki Rikiyama 2017World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2017,9,9:4
