1Comparative review of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty显示文摘The aim of this review is to compare the effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty to treat pain and improve functional outcome from ver-tebral fractures secondary to osteoporosis and tumor conditions. In 2009, two open randomized controlled trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine questioned the value of vertebroplasty in treating ver-tebral compression fractures. Nevertheless, the prac-tice of physicians treating these conditions has barely changed. The objective of this review is to try to clarify the most important issues, based on our own experi-ence and the reported evidence about both techniques, and to guide towards the most appropriate choice of treatment of vertebral fractures, although many ques-tions still remain unanswered.Ferno Ruiz Santiago Alicia Santiago Chinchilla Luis Guzmán álvarez Antonio Luis Pérez Abela Maria del Mar Castellano García Miguel Pajares López 2014World Journal of Radiology2014,6,6:30
2Clinical value of rapid urine trypsinogen-2 test strip, urinary trypsinogen activation peptide, and serum and urinary activation peptide of carboxypeptidase B in acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To assess the usefulness of urinary trypsinogen-2 test strip, urinary trypsinogen activation peptide (TAP),and serum and urine concentrations of the activation peptide of carboxypeptidase B (CAPAP) in the diagnosisof acute pancreatitis.METHODS: Patients with acute abdominal pain and hospitalized within 24 h after the onset of symptoms were prospectively studied. Urinary trypsinogen-2 was considered positive when a clear blue line was observed (detection limit 50 μg/L). Urinary TAP was measured using a quantitative solid-phase ELISA, and serum and urinary CAPAP by a radioimmunoassay method.RESULTS: Acute abdominal pain was due to acute pancreatitis in 50 patients and turned out to be extrapancreatic in origin in 22 patients. Patients with acute pancreatitis showed significantly higher median levels of serum and urinary CAPAP levels, as well as amylase and lipase than extrapancreatic controls. Median TAP levels were similar in both groups. The urinary trypsinogen-2 test strip was positive in 68% of patients with acute pancreatitis and 13.6% in extrapancreatic controls (P<0.01). Urinary CAPAP was the most reliable test for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 95.5%, positive and negative predictive values 96.6% and 56.7%, respectively), with a 14.6 positive likelihood ratio for a cut-off value of 2.32 nmol/L.CONCLUSION: In patients with acute abdominal pain,hospitalized within 24 h of symptom onset, CAPAP in serum and urine was a reliable diagnostic marker of acute pancreatitis. Urinary trypsinogen-2 test strip showed a clinical value similar to amylase and lipase.Urinary TAP was not a useful screening test for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.Jesús Sáez Juan Martínez Celia Trigo José Sánchez-Payá Luis Compay Raquel Laveda Pilar Grió Cristina García Miguel Pérez-Mateo 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,46:21
3Tenofovir vs lamivudine plus adefovir in chronic hepatitis B:TENOSIMP-B study显示文摘AIM To demonstrate the non-inferiority(15% non-inferiority limit) of monotherapy with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) vs the combination of lamivudine(LAM) plus adefovir dipivoxil(ADV) in the maintenance of virologic response in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and prior failure with LAM.METHODS This study was a Phase IV prospective, randomized, open, controlled study with 2 parallel groups(TDF and LAM+ADV) of adult patients with hepatitis B e antigen(HBe Ag)-negative CHB, prior failure with LAM, on treatment with LAM+ADV for at least 6 mo, without prior resistance to ADV and with an undetectable viral load at the start of the study, in 14 Spanish hospitals. The follow-up time for each patient was 48 wk after randomization, with quarterly visits in which the viral load, biochemical and serological parameters, adverse effects, adherence to treatment and consumption of hospital resources were analysed.RESULTS Forty-six patients were evaluated [median age: 55.4 years(30.2-75.2); 84.8% male], including 22 patients with TDF and 24 with LAM+ADV. During study development, hepatitis B virus DNA(HBV-DNA) remained undetectable, all patients remained HBe Ag negative, and hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) positive. Alanine aminotransferase(ALT) values at the end of the study were similar in the 2 groups(25.1± 7.65, TDF vs 24.22 ± 8.38, LAM+ADV, P = 0.646). No significant changes were observed in creatinine or serum phosphorus values in either group. No significant differences between the 2 groups were noted in the identification of adverse effects(AEs)(53.8%, TDF vs 37.5%, LAM+ADV, P = 0.170), and none of the AEs which occurred were serious. Treatment adherence was 95.5% and 83.3% in the TDF and the LAM+ADV groups, respectively(P = 0.488). The costs associated with hospital resource consumption were significantly lower with the TDF treatment than the LAM+ADV treatment(€4943 ± 1059 vs €5811 ± 1538, respectively, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION TDF monotherapy proved to be safe and not inferior to the LAM+ADV combination therapy in maintaining virologic response in patients with CHB and previous LAM failure. In addition, the use of TDF generated a significant savings in hospital costs.Manuel Rodríguez Juan Manuel Pascasio Enrique Fraga Javier Fuentes Martín Prieto Gloria Sánchez-Antolín Jose Luis Calleja Esther Molina María Luisa García-Buey María Angeles Blanco Javier Salmerón María Lucía Bonet Jose Antonio Pons Jose Manuel González Miguel Angel Casado Francisco Jorquera 2017World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,41:16
4Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy:Rationale and technique显示文摘The combination of complete cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy provides the only chance for long-term survival for selected patients diagnosed with a variety of peritoneal neoplasms,either primary or secondary to digestive or gynecologic malignancy.Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) delivered in the operating room once the cytoreductive surgical procedure is fi nalized,constitutes the most common form of administration of perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy.This may be complemented in some instances with early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC).HIPEC combines the pharmacokinetic advantage inherent to the intracavitary delivery of certain cytotoxic drugs,which results in regional dose intensification,with the direct cytotoxic effect of hyperthermia.Hyperthermia exhibits a selective cell-killing effect in malignant cells by itself,potentiates the cytotoxic effect of certain chemotherapy agents and enhances the tissue penetration of the administered drug.The chemotherapeutic agents employed in HIPEC need to have a cell cycle nonspecific mechanism of action and should ideally show a heat-synergistic cytotoxic effect.Delivery of HIPEC requires an apparatus that heats and circulates the chemotherapeutic solution so that a stable temperature is maintained in the peritoneal cavity during the procedure.An open abdomen (Coliseum) or closed abdomen technique may be used,with no signif icant differences in eff icacy proven to date.Specif ic technical training and a solid knowledge of regional chemotherapy management are required.Concerns about safety of the procedure for operating room personnel are expected but are manageable if universal precautions and standard chemotherapy handling procedures are used.Different HIPEC drug regimens and dosages are currently in use.A tendency for concurrent intravenous chemotherapy administration (bidirectional chemotherapy,so-called 'HIPEC plus') has been observed in recent years,with the aim to further enhance the cytotoxic potential of HIPEC.Future trials to ascertain the ideal HIPEC regimen in different diseases and to evaluate the efficacy of new drugs or drug combinations in this context are warranted.Santiago González-Moreno Luis A González-Bayón Gloria Ortega-Pérez 2010World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2010,2,2:15
5Pathogenesis of occult chronic hepatitis B virus infection显示文摘Occult hepatitis B infection(OBI) is characterized by hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA in serum in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) presenting HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc positive serological patterns.Occult HBV status is associated in some cases with mutant viruses undetectable by HBsAg assays;but more frequently it is due to a strong suppression of viral replication and gene expression.OBI is an entity with world-wide diffusion.The failure to detect HBsAg,despite the persistence of the viral DNA,is due in most cases to the strong suppression of viral replication and gene expression that characterizes this'occult'HBV infection;although the mechanisms responsible for suppression of HBV are not well understood.The majority of OBI cases are secondary to overt HBV infection and represent a residual low viremia level suppressed by a strong immune response together with histological derangements which occurred during acute or chronic HBV infection.Much evidence suggests that it can favour the progression of liver fibrosis and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.Rocio Aller de la Fuente María L Gutiérrez Javier Garcia-Samaniego Conrado Fernández-Rodriguez Jose Luis Lledó Gregorio Castellano 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,12:12
6High-throughput Phenotyping and Genomic Selection:The Frontiers of Crop Breeding Converge显示文摘Genomic selection (GS) and high-throughput phenotyping have recently been captivating the interest of the crop breeding com-munity from both the public and private sectors world-wide.Both approaches promise to revolutionize the prediction of complex traits,including growth,yield and adaptation to stress.Whereas high-throughput phenotyping may help to improve understanding of crop physiology,most powerful techniques for high-throughput field phenotyping are empirical rather than analytical and compa-rable to genomic selection.Despite the fact that the two method-ological approaches represent the extremes of what is understood as the breeding process (phenotype versus genome),they both consider the targeted traits (e.g.grain yield,growth,phenology,plant adaptation to stress) as a black box instead of dissecting them as a set of secondary traits (i.e.physiological) putatively related to the target trait.Both GS and high-throughput phenotyping have in common their empirical approach enabling breeders to use genome profile or phenotype without understanding the underlying biology.This short review discusses the main aspects of both approaches and focuses on the case of genomic selection of maize flowering traits and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and plant spectral reflectance as high-throughput field phenotyping methods for complex traits such as crop growth and yield.Lloren Cabrera-Bosquet Jos Crossa Jarislav von Zitzewitz María Dolors Serret Jos Luis Araus 2012Journal of Integrative Plant Biology2012,54,5:11
7Prevalence of occult hepatitis B virus infection显示文摘Occult hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection(OBI) is characterized by the persistence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue in individuals negative for the HBV surface antigen.The prevalence of OBI is quite variable depending on the level of endemic disease in different parts of the world,the different assays utilized in the studies,and the different populations studied.Many studies have been carried out on OBI prevalence in different areas of the world and categories of individuals.The studies show that OBI prevalence seems to be higher among subjects at high risk for HBV infection and with liver disease than among individuals at low risk of infection and without liver disease.Maria Luisa Gutiérrez-García Conrado M Fernandez-Rodriguez Jose Luis Lledo-Navarro Ingrid Buhigas-Garcia 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,12:10
8Management of occult hepatitis B virus infection:An update for the clinician显示文摘Occult hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection(OBI) is defined by the presence of HBV DNA in the liver tissue of individuals who test negative for hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg).Patients who have recovered from acute hepatitis B can carry HBV genomes for a long time and show histological patterns of mild necro-inflammation,even fibrosis,years after the resolution of acute hepatitis,without showing any clinical or biochemical evidence of liver disease.At least in conditions of immunocompetence,OBI is inoffensive itself,but when other relevant causes of liver damage are present it might make the course of the liver disease worse.The risk of HBV transmission through transfusion is related to blood donations negative for HBsAg that have been collected during the pre-seroconversion period or during chronic OBI.Use of HBV nucleic acid amplification testing and multivalent anti-HBs antibodies in the HBsAg assays is recommended for detection of true and false OBI,respectively.It is not known if prior hepatitis B immunization with an optimal anti-HBs response in cases of HBV transmission through organ transplantation can effectively modulate or abort the infection.Use of anti-viral agents as prophylaxis in patients with serological evidence of past HBV infection prevents reactivation of OBI after transplantation in most cases.Reactivation of OBI has been observed in other conditions that cause immunosuppression,in which antiviral therapy could be delayed until the HBV DNA or HBsAg becomes detectable.OBI might contribute to the progression of liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic liver disease.JoséLuis Lledó Conrado Fernández María Luisa Gutiérrez Sara Ocaa 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,12:9
9Different risk factors influence peptic ulcer disease development in a Brazilian population显示文摘AIM: To investigate age, sex, histopathology and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) status, as risk factors for gastroduodenal disease outcome in Brazilian dyspeptic patients.tients submitted to upper gastroscopy at Hospital das Clinicas of Marilia, antral biopsy specimens were obtained and subjected to histopathology and H. pylori diagnosis. All patients presenting chronic gastritis (CG) and peptic ulcer (PU) disease localized in the stomach, gastric ulcer (GU) and/or duodenal ulcer (DU) were included in the study. Gastric biopsies (n = 668) positive for H. pylori by rapid urease test were investigated for vacuolating cytotoxin A (vacA ) medium (m) region mosaicism by polymerase chain reaction. Logistic regression analysis was performed to verify the association of age, sex, histopathologic alterations, H. pylori diagnosis and vacA m region mosaicism with the incidence of DU, GU and CG in patients. RESULTS: Of 1466 patients submitted to endoscopy, 1060 (72.3%) presented CG [male/female = 506/554; mean age (year) ± SD = 51.2 ± 17.81], 88 (6.0%) presented DU [male/female = 54/34; mean age (year) ± SD = 51.4 ± 17.14], and 75 (5.1%) presented GU [male/female = 54/21; mean age (year) ± SD = 51.3 ± 17.12] and were included in the comparative analysis. Sex and age showed no detectable effect on CG incidence (overall c 2 = 2.1, P = 0.3423). Sex [Odds ratios (OR) = 1.8631, P = 0.0058] but not age (OR = 0.9929, P = 0.2699) was associated with DU and both parameters had a highly significant effect on GU (overall c 2 = 30.5, P < 0.0001). The histopathological results showed a significant contribution of ageing for both atrophy (OR = 1.0297, P < 0.0001) and intestinal metaplasia (OR = 1.0520, P < 0.0001). Presence of H. pylori was significantly associated with decreasing age (OR = 0.9827, P < 0.0001) and with the incidence of DU (OR = 3.6077, P < 0.0001). The prevalence of m1 in DU was statistically significant (OR = 2.3563, P = 0.0018) but not in CG (OR = 2.678, P = 0.0863) and GU (OR = 1.520, P = 0.2863). CONCLUSION: In our population, male gender was a risk factor for PU; ageing for GU, atrophy and metapla-sia; and H. pylori of vacA m1 genotype for DU.Rodrigo Buzinaro Suzuki Rodrigo Faria Cola Larissa Tranquilino Bardela Cola Camila Garcia Ferrari Fred Ellinger Altino Luiz Therezo Luis Carlos da Silva André Eterovic Márcia Aparecida Sperana 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,38:8
10Endoscopic submucosal dissection in dogs in a World Gastroenterology Organisation training center显示文摘AIM: To evaluate if canine models are appropriate for teaching endoscopy fellows the techniques of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS: ESD was performed in 10 canine models under general anesthesia, on artificial lesions of the esophagus or stomach marked with coagulation points. After ESD, each canine model was euthanized and surgical resection of the esophagus or stomach was carried out according to 'The Principles of Humane Experimental Technique, Russel and Burch'. The ESD specimens were fixed with needles on cork submerged in a formol solution with the esophagus or stomach, and delivered to the pathology department to be analyzed. RESULTS: ESD was completed without complications using the Hook-knife in five esophageal areas, with a procedural duration of 124 ± 19 min, a length of 27.4 ± 2.6 mm and a width of 21 ± 2.4 mm. ESD was also completed without complications using the IT-knife2 in five gastric areas, with a procedural duration of 92.6 ± 19 min, a length of 32 ± 2.5 mm and a width of 18 ± 3.7 mm. CONCLUSION: ESD is feasible in the normal esopha- gus and stomach of canine models, which are appropriate for teaching this technique.Miguel A Tanimoto Gonzalo Torres-Villalobos Rikiya Fujita Patricio Santillan-Doherty Jorge Albores-Saavedra German Gutierrez Luis A Martin-del-Campo Carlos Bravo-Reyna Octavio Villanueva Jose J Villalobos Misael Uribe Miguel A Valdovinos 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,14:7
11Speckle tracking echocardiography to assess regional ventricular function in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy显示文摘AIM To explore regional systolic strain of midwall and endocardial segments using speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM).METHODS We prospectively assessed 20 patients(mean age 53 ± 16 years,range:18-81 years,10 were male),with apical HCM. We measured global longitudinal peak systolic strain(GLPSS) in the midwall and endocardium of the left ventricle. RESULTS The diastolic thickness of the 4 apical segments was 16.25 ± 2.75 mm. All patients had a normal global systolicfunction with a fractional shortening of 50% ± 8%. In spite of supernormal left ventricular(LV) systolic function,midwall GLPSS was decreased in all patients,more in the apical(-7.3% ±-8.8%) than in basal segments(-15.5% ±-6.93%),while endocardial GLPPS was significantly greater and reached normal values(apical:-22.8% ±-7.8%,basal:-17.9% ±-7.5%). CONCLUSION This study shows that two-dimensional strain was decreased mainly confined to the mesocardium,while endocardium myocardial deformation was preserved in HCM and allowed to identify subclinical LV dysfunction. This transmural heterogeneity in systolic strain had not been previously described in HCM and could be explained by the distribution of myofibrillar disarray in deep myocardial areas. The clinical application of this novel finding may help further understanding of the pathophysiology of HCM.María Cristina Saccheri Tomás Francisco Cianciulli Luis Alberto Morita Ricardo JoséMéndez Martín Alejandro Beck Juan Enrique Guerra Alberto Cozzarin Luciana Jimena Puente Lorena Romina Balletti Jorge Alberto Lax 2017World Journal of Cardiology2017,9,4:7
12Recurrence of inflammatory pseudotumor in the distal bile duct: Lessons learned from a single case and reported cases显示文摘煽动性的 myofibroblastic 肿瘤(IMT ) 或煽动性的假肿瘤(IP ) 广泛地在文学被讨论了。他们通常在肺和上面的呼吸道被发现。然而,包含 biliopancreatic 区域的案例报导在最近的年增加了。限制到胰腺的头或远侧的胆汁管的这些损害的 Immunohistochemical 学习似乎与那些在称为自体免疫的胰腺炎的一个新实体观察了兼容,但是通常强烈的纤维变性反应(带状配列) 支配生产一个团。当这个条件限于胰腺的头时,胆总管可能被煽动性的过程包含,黄疸可以经常发生类似于胰的腺癌。我们以前报导了从与是一个极其稀罕的实体的自体免疫的胰腺炎联系的胆汁管产生的 IMT 的一个案例。在 Kaush-Whipple 切除术以后的四年,平淡的后续上的放射学的检查揭示了一个肿瘤团,建议本地复发。指导超声的 FNA 证实了我们的可疑诊断。作为其它,这个现在的案例建议坚持的后续是必要的以便在这个特定的地点阻止不可逆的肝损坏。EM López-Tomassetti Fernández H Díaz Luis A Martín Malagón I Arteaga González A Carrillo Pallarés 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,24:7
13双峰分布颗粒体系的多角度动态光散射数据反演(英文)显示文摘采用多角度动态光散射和加权正则化反演方法,对4组模拟的双峰分布颗粒体系(100/600nm,200/600nm,300/600nm和350/600nm)分别选取1、3、6和10个散射角进行测量.粒度反演结果表明,采用加权正则化方法反演双峰颗粒体系的多角度动态光散射测量数据,可获得峰值位置比小于2∶1且含有大粒径(>350nm)颗粒的双峰颗粒粒度分布.采用标准聚苯乙烯乳胶颗粒进行实测的结果验证了这一结论.得到含大粒径颗粒的双峰粒度分布反演结果的原因在于,多角度动态光散射能提供更多的大粒径颗粒的粒度信息,加权正则化反演方法能减少测量数据中的噪声,因而多角度动态光散射测量数据的加权反演能实现峰值位置比小于2∶1且含有大粒径颗粒的双峰颗粒体系的测量.徐敏 申晋 朱新军 THOMAS John C CLEMENTI Luis A VEGA Jorge R 2017光子学报2017,46,2:7
14Mi R-122 in hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus dual infection显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) and hepatitis C virus(HCV) infections are the most common causes of chronic liver diseases and hepatocelluar carcinomas. Over the past few years, the liver-enriched micro RNA-122(mi R-122) has been shown to differentially regulate viral replication of HBV and HCV. It is notable that thelevel of mi R-122 is positively and negatively regulated by HCV and HBV, respectively. Consistent with the welldocumented phenomenon that mi R-122 promotes HCV accumulation, inhibition of mi R-122 has been shown as an effective therapy for the treatment of HCV infection in both chimpanzees and humans. On the other hand, mi R-122 is also known to block HBV replication, and HBV has recently been shown to inhibit mi R-122 expression; such a reciprocal inhibition between mi R-122 and HBV suggests an intriguing possibility that mi R-122 replacement may represent a potential therapy for treatment of HBV infection. As HBV and HCV have shared transmission routes, dual infection is not an uncommon scenario, which is associated with more advanced liver disease than either HBV or HCV mono-infection. Thus, there is a clear need to further understand the interaction between HBV and HCV and to delineate the role of mi R-122 in HBV/HCV dual infection in order to devise effective therapy. This review summarizes the current understanding of HBV/HCV dual infection, focusing on the pathobiological role and therapeutic potential of mi R-122.Kyoungsub Song Chang Han Srikanta Dash Luis A Balart Tong Wu 2015World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,3:6

16Conversion from calcineurin inhibitors to mTOR inhibitors stabilizes diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy after liver transplant显示文摘AIM: To investigate if conversion to the mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors(mTORi) improves renal function in diabetic and/or hypertensive liver transplant patients immunosuppressed with tacrolimus or cyclosporine.METHODS: The study included 86 liver graft recipients immunosuppressed with mTORi treatment after orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT), including all liver recipients with worsening renal function before conversion to mTORi(n = 55 patients) and recipients with normal renal function who converted to m TORi for other reasons(n = 31 patients). We identified patients with diabetes mellitus(n = 28), arterial hypertension(n = 27), proteinuria(n = 27) and all three factors(n = 8)(some patients have hypertension and diabetes and no proteinuria). The primary endpoint was evolution in renal function defined as the development in plasma creatinine as a function of diabetes mellitus(DM), hypertension(HT) or proteinuria. We required elevated serum creatinine for at least two weeks to define renal dysfunction.RESULTS: Only patients that converted because of renal failure with plasma creatinine levels > 1.5 mg/dL showed an improvement of renal function(2.14 to 1.77 mg/dL)(P = 0.02). Patients with DM showed no improvement of serum creatinine levels(1.31 mg/dL to 1.37 mg/dL) compared with non DM patients(1.31 mg/dL to 1.15 mg/dL)(P = 0.01), HT patients(1.48 mg/dL to 1.5 mg/dL) with non HT patients(1.21mg/d L to 1.08 mg/dL) and patients with proteinuria(1.44 mg/dL to 1.41 mg/dL) and no proteinuria(1.31 mg/dL to 1.11 mg/dL). CONCLUSION: In OLT recipients with diabetes or hypertensive nephropathy, conversion to m TORi does not improve renal function but stabilizes plasma levels of creatinine. Proteinuria is not a contraindication to conversion to m TORi; it also stabilizes renal function. Conversion to m TORi should only be avoided in patients with diabetes, hypertension and proteinuria.José M álamo Claudia Olivares Lydia Barrera Luis M Marín Gonzalo Suarez Carmen Bernal Juan Serrano Jordi Muntané Francisco J Padillo Miguel A Gómez 2015World Journal of Transplantation2015,5,1:6
17An experimental validation of genomic selection in octoploid strawberry显示文摘The primary goal of genomic selection is to increase genetic gains for complex traits by predicting performance of individuals for which phenotypic data are not available.The objective of this study was to experimentally evaluate the potential of genomic selection in strawberry breeding and to define a strategy for its implementation.Four clonally replicated field trials,two in each of 2 years comprised of a total of 1628 individuals,were established in 2013–2014 and 2014–2015.Five complex yield and fruit quality traits with moderate to low heritability were assessed in each trial.High-density genotyping was performed with the Affymetrix Axiom IStraw90 single-nucleotide polymorphism array,and 17479 polymorphic markers were chosen for analysis.Several methods were compared,including Genomic BLUP,Bayes B,Bayes C,Bayesian LASSO Regression,Bayesian Ridge Regression and Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces.Cross-validation within training populations resulted in higher values than for true validations across trials.For true validations,Bayes B gave the highest predictive abilities on average and also the highest selection efficiencies,particularly for yield traits that were the lowest heritability traits.Selection efficiencies using Bayes B for parent selection ranged from 74%for average fruit weight to 34%for early marketable yield.A breeding strategy is proposed in which advanced selection trials are utilized as training populations and in which genomic selection can reduce the breeding cycle from 3 to 2 years for a subset of untested parents based on their predicted genomic breeding values.Salvador A Gezan Luis F Osorio Sujeet Verma Vance M Whitaker 2017Horticulture Research2017,4,1:6
18Management of primary achalasia: The role of endoscopy显示文摘Achalasia is an oesophageal motor disorder which leads to the functional obstruction of the lower oesophageal sphincter(LES) and is currently incurable. The main objective of all existing therapies is to achieve a reduction in the obstruction of the distal oesophagus in order to improve oesophageal transit, relieve the symptomatology, and prevent long-term complications. The most common treatments used are pneumatic dilation(PD) and laparoscopic Heller myotomy, which involves partial fundoplication with comparable shortterm success rates. The most economic non-surgical therapy is PD, with botulinum toxin injections reserved for patients with a higher surgical risk for whom the former treatment option is unsuitable. A new technology is peroral endoscopic myotomy, postulated as a possible non-invasive alternative to surgical myotomy. Other endoluminal treatments subject to research more recently include injecting ethanolamine into the LES and using a temporary self-expanding metallic stent. At present, there is not enough evidence permitting a routine recommendation of any of these three novel methods. Patients must undergo follow-up after treatment to guarantee that their symptoms are under control and to prevent complications. Most experts are in favour of some form of endoscopic follow-up, however no established guidelines exist in this respect. The prognosis for patients with achalasia is good, although a recurrence after treatment using any method requires new treatment.Marisol Luján-Sanchis Patricia Suárez-Callol Ana Monzá-Gallego Inmaculada Bort-Pérez Lydia Plana-Campos Luis Ferrer-Barceló Laura Sanchis-Artero María Llinares-Lloret Juan Antonio Tuset-Ruiz Javier Sempere-Garcia-Argüelles Pilar Canelles-Gamir Enrique Medina-Chuliá 2015World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,6:5

20Gastroenterology case report of mesalazine-induced cardiopulmonary hypersensitivity显示文摘Mesalazine is a 5-aminosalicylic acid derivative that has been widely used to treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that mesalazine has a very low rate of adverse drug reactions and is well tolerated by patients. However, a few cases of pulmonary and cardiac disease related to mesalazine have been reported in the past, though infrequently, preventing clinicians from diagnosing the conditions early. We describe the case of a 32-yearold man with ulcerative colitis who was admitted with a two-month history of persistent fever following mesalazine treatment initiated 14 mo earlier. At the time of admission, mesalazine dose was increased from 1.5 to 3.0 g/d, and antibiotic therapy was started with no improvement. Three weeks after admission, the patient developed dyspnea, non-productive cough, and chest pain. Severe eosinophilia was detected in laboratory tests, and a computed tomography scan revealed interstitial infiltrates in both lungs, as well as a large pericardial effusion. The bronchoalveolar lavage reported a CD4/CD8 ratio of 0.5, and an increased eosinophil count. Transbronchial biopsy examination showed a severe eosinophilic infiltrate of the lung tissue. Mesalazine-induced cardiopulmonary hypersensitivity was suspected after excluding other possible etiologies. Consequently, mesalazine treatment was suspended, and corticosteroid therapy was initiated, resulting in resolution of symptoms and radiologic abnormalities. We conclude that mesalazine-induced pulmonary and cardiac hypersensitivity should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained cardiopulmonary symptoms and radiographic abnormalities in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.José Ferrusquía Isabel Pérez-Martínez Ricardo Gómez de la Torre María Luisa Fernández-Almira Ruth de Francisco Luis Rodrigo Sabino Riestra 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,13:5
