| 1 | Current imaging strategies for the evaluation of uterine cervical cancer显示文摘Uterine cervical cancer still remains an important socioeconomic issue because it largely affects women of reproductive age.Prognosis is highly depended on extent of the disease at diagnosis and,therefore,accurate staging is crucial for optimal management.Cervical cancer is clinically staged,according to International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics guidelines,but,currently,there is increased use of cross sectional imaging modalities [computed tomography(CT),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),positron emission tomography-CT(PET-CT)] for the study of important prognostic factors like tumor size,parametrial invasion,endocervical extension,pelvic side wall or adjacent/distal organs involvement and lymph node status.Imaging indications also include cervical cancer follow-up,evaluation of tumor response to treatment and selection of suitable candidates for less radical surgeries like radical trachelectomy for fertility preservation.The preferred imaging method for local cervical cancer evaluation is MRI;CT is equally effective for evaluation of extrauterine spread of the disease.PETCT shows high diagnostic performance for the detection of tumor relapse and metastatic lymph nodes.The aim of this review is to familiarize radiologists with the MRI appearance of cervical carcinoma and to discuss the indications of cross sectional imaging during the course of the disease in patients with cervical carcinoma. | Charis Bourgioti Konstantinos Chatoupis Lia Angela Moulopoulos | 2016 | World Journal of Radiology2016,8,4: | 29 |
| 2 | Venous thrombosis and prothrombotic factors in inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘Patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)may have an increased risk of venous thrombosis(VTE).PubMed,ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus were searched to identify studies investigating the risk of VTE and the prevalence of acquired and genetic VTE risk factors and prothrombotic abnormalities in IBD.Overall,IBD patients have a two-to fourfold increased risk of VTE compared with healthy controls,with an overall incidence rate of 1%-8%.The majority of studies did not show significant differences in the risk of VTE between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.Several acquired factors are responsible for the increased risk of VTEin IBD:inflammatory activity,hospitalisation,surgery,pregnancy,disease phenotype(e.g.,fistulising disease,colonic involvement and extensive involvement)and drug therapy(mainly steroids).There is also convincing evidence from basic science and from clinical and epidemiological studies that IBD is associated with several prothrombotic abnormalities,including initiation of the coagulation system,downregulation of natural anticoagulant mechanisms,impairment of fibrinolysis,increased platelet count and reactivity and dysfunction of the endothelium.Classical genetic alterations are not generally found more often in IBD patients than in nonIBD patients,suggesting that genetics does not explain the greater risk of VTE in these patients.IBD VTE may have clinical specificities,namely an earlier first episode of VTE in life,high recurrence rate,decreased efficacy of some drugs in preventing further episodes and poor prognosis.Clinicians should be aware of these risks,and adequate prophylactic actions should be taken in patients who have disease activity,are hospitalised,are submitted to surgery or are undergoing treatment. | Fernando Magro Jo?o-Bruno Soares Dália Fernandes | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,17: | 27 |
| 3 | Promoter hypermethylation of CDH1, FHIT, MTAP and PLAGL1 in gastric adenocarcinoma in individuals from Northern Brazil显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the methylation status of CDH1, FHIT, MTAP and PLAGL1 promoters and the association of these findings with clinico-pathological characteristics. METHODS: Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assay was performed in 13 nonneoplastic gastric adenocarcinoma, 30 intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma and 35 diffuse- type gastric adenocarcinoma samples from individuals in Northern Brazil. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square or Fisher’s exact test to assess associations between methylation status and clinico- pathological characteristics. RESULTS: Hypermethylation frequencies of CDH1, FHIT, MTAP and PLAGL1 promoter were 98.7%, 53.9%, 23.1% and 29.5%, respectively. Hypermethylation of three or four genes revealed a significant association with diffuse-type gastric cancer compared with nonneoplastic cancer. A higher hypermethylation frequency wassignificantly associated with H pylori infection in gastric cancers, especially with diffuse-type. Cancer samples without lymph node metastasis showed a higher FHIT hypermethylation frequency. MTAP hypermethylation was associated with H pylori in gastric cancer samples, as well as with diffuse-type compared with intestinal-type. In diffuse-type, MTAP hypermethylation was associated with female gender. CONCLUSION: Our findings show differential gene methylation in tumoral tissue, which allows us to conclude that hypermethylation is associated with gastric carcinogenesis. MTAP promoter hypermethylation can be characterized as a marker of diffuse-type gastric cancer, especially in women and may help in diagnosis, prognosis and therapies. The H pylori infectious agent was present in 44.9% of the samples. This infection may be correlated with the carcinogenic process through the gene promoter hypermethylation, especially the MTAP promoter in diffuse-type. A higher H pylori infection in diffuse-type may be due to greater genetic predisposition. | Mariana Ferreira Leal Eleonidas Moura Lima Patrícia Natália Oliveira Silva Paulo Pimentel Assumpo Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Spencer Luiz Marques Payo Rommel Rodríguez Burbano Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,18: | 24 |
| 4 | Helicobacter pylori infection: Host immune response, implications on gene expression and microRNAs显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection is the most common bacterial infection worldwide. Persistent infection of the gastric mucosa leads to inflammatory processes and may remain silent for decades or progress causing more severe diseases, such as gastric adenocarcinoma. The clinical consequences of H. pylori infection are determined by multiple factors, including host genetic predisposition, gene regulation, environmental factors and heterogeneity of H. pylori virulence factors. After decades of studies of this successful relationship between pathogen and human host, various mechanisms have been elucidated. In this review, we have made an introduction on H. pylori infection and its virulence factors, and focused mainly on modulation of host immune response triggered by bacteria, changes in the pattern of gene expression in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa, with activation of gene transcription involved in defense mechanisms, inflammatory and immunological response, cell proliferation and apoptosis. We also highlighted the role of bacteria eradication on gene expression levels. In addition, we addressed the recent involvement of different microRNAs in precancerous lesions, gastric cancer, and inflammatory processes induced by bacteria. New discoveries in this field may allow a better understanding of the role of major factors involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of H. pylori. | Aline Cristina Targa Cadamuro Ana Flávia Teixeira Rossi Nathália Maciel Maniezzo Ana Elizabete Silva | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,6: | 16 |
| 5 | A survey of executive compensation contracts in China's listed companies显示文摘We analyze 228 executive compensation contracts voluntarily disclosed by Chinese listed firms and find that central-government-controlled companies disclose more information in executive compensation contracts than localgovernment-controlled and non-government-controlled companies. Cashbased payments are the main form of executive compensation, whereas equity-based payments are seldom used by Chinese listed companies. On average, there are no significant differences in the value of basic salaries and performance-based compensation in executive compensation contracts.But, compared with their counterparts in non-government-controlled companies, executives in government-controlled companies are given more incentive compensation. Accounting earnings are typically used in executive compensation contracts, with few firms using stock returns to evaluate their executives. However, the use of non-financial measures has increased significantly since 2007. | Yubo Lia Fang Lou Jiwei Wang Hongqi Yuan | 2013 | China Journal of Accounting Research2013,,3: | 15 |
| 6 | DNA and histone methylation in gastric carcinogenesis显示文摘Epigenetic alterations contribute significantly to the development and progression of gastric cancer,one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide.Epigenetics refers to the number of modifications of the chromatin structure that affect gene expression without altering the primary sequence of DNA,and these changes lead to transcriptional activation or silencing of the gene.Over the years,the study of epigenetic processes has increased,and novel therapeutic approaches that target DNA methylation and histone modifications have emerged.A greater understanding of epigenetics and the therapeutic potential of manipulating these processes is necessary for gastric cancer treatment.Here,we review recent research on the effects of aberrant DNA and histone methylation on the onset and progression of gastric tumors and the development of compounds that target enzymes that regulate the epigenome. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Carolina Oliveira Gigek Elizabeth Suchi Chen Rommel Rodriguez Burbano Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,8: | 14 |

| 8 | Nerve growth factor involvement in liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To define NGF (nerve growth factor) and its high- affinity receptor trkANGF presence and distribution in fibrotic liver and in HCC, and to verify if NGF might have a role in fibrosis and HCC. METHODS: Intracellular distribution of NGF and trkANGF were assessed by immunohistochemistry and immuno- electron microscopy in liver specimens from HCC, cirrhosis or both. ELISA was used to measure circulating NGF levels. RESULTS: NGF and trkANGF were highly expressed in HCC tissue, mainly localized in hepatocytes, endothelial and some Kupffer cells. In the cirrhotic part of the liver they were also markedly expressed in bile ducts epithelial and spindle-shaped cells. Surprisingly, in cirrhotic tissue from patients without HCC, both NGF and trkANGF were negative. NGF serum levels in cirrhotic and/or HCC patient were up to 25-fold higher than in controls. CONCLUSION: NGF was only detected in liver tissue with HCC present. Intracellular distribution suggests paracrine and autocrine mechanisms of action. Better definition of mechanisms may allow for therapeutic and diagnostic/prognostic use of NGF. | Guido Rasi Annalucia Serafino Lia Bellis Maria Teresa Lonardo Federica Andreola Manuela Zonfrillo Giovanni Vennarecci Pasquale Pierimarchi Paola Sinibaldi Vallebona Giuseppe Maria Ettorre Eugenio Santoro Claudio Puoti | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,37: | 13 |
| 9 | Prognostic value of increased carbohydrate antigen in patients with heart failure显示文摘AIM:To study the prognostic value of carbohydrateantigen 125(CA125) and whether it adds prognostic information to N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) in stable heart failure(HF) patients.METHODS:The predictive value of CA125 was retrospectively assessed in 156 patients with stable HF remitted to the outpatient HF unit for monitoring from 2009 to 2011.Patients were included in the study if they had a previous documented episode of HF and received HF treatment.CA125 and NT-proBNP concentrations were measured.The independent association between NT-proBNP or CA125 and mortality was assessed with Cox regression analysis,and their combined predictive ability was tested by the integrated discrimination improvement(IDI) index.RESULTS:The mean age of the 156 patients was 72 ± 12 years.During follow-up(17 ± 8 mo),27 patients died,1 received an urgent heart transplantation and 106 required hospitalization for HF.Higher CA125 values were correlated with outcomes:58 ± 85 KU/L if hospitalized vs 34 ± 61 KU/L if not(P < 0.05),and 94 ± 121 KU/L in those who died or needed urgent heart transplantation vs 45 ± 78 KU/L in survivors(P < 0.01).After adjusting for propensity scores,the highest risk was observed when both biomarkers were elevated vs not elevated(HR = 8.95,95%CI:3.11-25.73; P < 0.001) and intermediate when only NT-proBNP was elevated vs not elevated(HR = 4.15,95%CI:1.41-12.24; P < 0.01).Moreover,when CA125 was added to the clinical model with NT-proBNP,a 4%(P < 0.05) improvement in the IDI was found.CONCLUSION:CA125 > 60 KU/L identified patients in stable HF with poor survival.Circulating CA125 level adds prognostic value to NT-proBNP level in predicting HF outcomes. | Ana B Méndez Jordi Ordonez-Llanos Andreu Ferrero Mariana Noguero Teresa Mir Josefina Mora Antoni Bayes-Genis Sònia Mirabet Juan Cinca Eulàlia Roig | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014,6,4: | 13 |
| 10 | Renin angiotensin system in liver diseases: Friend or foe?显示文摘In the last three decades,the understanding of the renin angiotensin system(RAS)has been changed by the discoveries of functional local systems,novel biologically active peptides,additional specific receptors,alternative pathways of angiotensin(Ang)?Ⅱ?generation,and new roles for enzymes and precursor components other than those in Ang?Ⅱ?synthesis.In this regard,the discovery that Ang-(1-7)opposes the pressor,proliferative,pro-fibrotic,and pro-inflammatory effects mediated by Ang?Ⅱ?has contributed to the realization that the RAS is composed of two axes.The first axis consists of the angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE),with Ang?Ⅱ?as the end product,and the angiotensin type 1(AT1)receptor as the main effector mediating the biological actions of Ang?Ⅱ.The second axis results from ACE2-mediated hydrolysis of Ang?Ⅱ,leading to the production of Ang-(1-7),with the Mas receptor as the main effector conveying the vasodilatory,antiproliferative,anti-fibrotic,and anti-inflammatory effects of Ang-(1-7).Experimental and clinical studies have shown that both axes of the RAS may take part in the pathogenesis of liver diseases.In this manuscript,we summarize the current evidence regarding the role of RAS in hepatic cirrhosis and its complications,including hemodynamic changes and hepatorenal syndrome.The therapeutic potential of the modulation of RAS molecules in liver diseases is also discussed. | Ana Cristina Simoes e Silva Aline S Miranda Natália P Rocha Antonio L Teixeira | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,19: | 12 |
| 11 | WJSC 6^(th) Anniversary Special Issues(2):Mesenchymal stem cells Neurotrauma and mesenchymal stem cells treatment:From experimental studies to clinical trials显示文摘Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)therapy has attracted the attention of scientists and clinicians around the world.Basic and pre-clinical experimental studies have highlighted the positive effects of MSC treatment after spinal cord and peripheral nerve injury.These effects are believed to be due to their ability to differentiate into other cell lineages,modulate inflammatory and immunomodulatory responses,reduce cell apoptosis,secrete several neurotrophic factors and respond to tissue injury,among others.There are many pre-clinical studies on MSC treatment for spinal cord injury(SCI)and peripheral nerve injuries.However,the same is not true for clinical trials,particularly those concerned with nerve trauma,indicating the necessity of more well-constructed studies showing the benefits that cell therapy can provide for individuals suffering the consequences of nerve lesions.As for clinical trials for SCI treatment the results obtained so far are not as beneficial as those described in experimental studies.For these reasons basic and pre-clinical studies dealing with MSC therapy should emphasize the standardization of protocols that could be translated to the clinical set with consistent and positive outcomes.This review is based on pre-clinical studies and clinical trials available in the literature from 2010 until now.At the time of writing this article there were 43 and 36 pre-clinical and 19 and 1 clinical trials on injured spinal cord and peripheral nerves,respectively. | Ana Maria Blanco Martinez Camila de Oliveira Goulart Bruna dos Santos Ramalho Júlia Teixeira Oliveira Fernanda Martins Almeida | 2014 | World Journal of Stem Cells2014,6,2: | 11 |
| 12 | Role of mi RNAs and their potential to be useful as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer显示文摘Alterations in epigenetic control of gene expression play an important role in many diseases, including gastric cancer. Many studies have identified a large number of upregulated oncogenic mi RNAs and downregulated tumour-suppressor mi RNAs in this type of cancer. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of mi RNAs, pointing to their potential to be useful as diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer. Moreover, we discuss the influence of polymorphisms and epigenetic modifications on mi RNA activity. | Kelly Cristina da Silva Oliveira Taíssa Maíra Thomaz Araújo Camila Inagaki Albuquerque Gabriela Alcantara Barata Carolina Oliveira Gigek Mariana Ferreira Leal Fernanda Wisnieski Fernando Augusto Rodrigues Mello Junior André Salim Khayat Paulo Pimentel de Assumpcao Rommel Mário Rodriguez Burbano Marília Cardoso Smith Danielle Queiroz Calcagno | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,35: | 11 |
| 13 | Hepatitis B virus prevalence and transmission risk factors in inflammatory bowel disease patients at Clementino Fraga Filho university hospital显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients that followed up in our hospital and try to identify the possible risk factors involved in this infection transmission. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study for which 176 patients were selected according to their arrival for the medical interview. All these patients had already IBD diagnosis. The patient was interviewed and a questionnaire was filled out. RESULTS: In the group of 176 patients whom we examined, we found that 17% (30) were anti-HBc positive. Out of 30 patients with positive anti-HBc, 2.3% (4) had positive HBsAg and negative HBV-DNA. In an attempt to identify the possible HBV infection transmission risk factors in IBD patients, it was observed that 117 patients had been submitted to some kind of surgical procedure, but only 24 patients had positive anti-HBc (P = 0.085). It was also observed that surgery to treat IBD complications was not a risk factor for HBV infection transmission, since we did not get a statically significant P value. However, IBDpatients that have been submitted to surgery to treat IBD complications received more blood transfusions then patients submitted to other surgical interventions (P = 0.015). CONCLUSION: There was a high incidence of positive anti-HBc (17%) and positive HBsAg (2.3%) in IBD patient when compared with the overall population (7.9%). | Yolanda Faia Manhes Tolentino Homero Soares Fogaa Cyrla Zaltman Lia Laura Lewis Ximenes Henrique Sérgio Moraes Coelho | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,20: | 10 |
| 14 | Research advances on the multiple uses of Moringa oleifera: a sustainable alternative for socially neglected population显示文摘Moringa oleifera Lam(Moringaceae) is a plant with high nutritional and medicinal value. Native to India, it is now widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Its different parts are sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and present different pharmacological and biotechnological potential. Moreover, M. oleifera seeds are widely used in water and effluent treatment, for their coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation properties, their ability of improving water quality, by reducing organic matter and microbial load, with special applicability in intensive animal production systems, such as aquaculture. In addition, due to its high nutritional value and several medicinal properties, this tree may act as a nutritional and medical alternative for socially neglected populations. In this context, this review gathers information on M. oleifera, emphasizing its chemical constituents, nutritional, pharmacological and antimicrobial properties, applications in the treatment of water effluents, and ecological and social aspects. | Raimunda Samia Nogueira Brilhante Jamille Alencar Sales Vandbergue Santos Pereira Débora de Souza Collares Maia Castelo-Branco Rossana de Aguiar Cordeiro Célia Maria de Souza Sampaio Manoel de Araújo Neto Paiva Joao Bosco Feitosa dos Santos JoséJúlio CostaSidrim Marcos Fábio Gadelha Rocha | 2017 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2017,10,7: | 10 |
| 15 | Hepatic abscess induced by foreign body:Case report and literature review显示文摘Hepatic abscess due to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract caused by ingested foreign bodies is uncommon. Pre-operative diagnosis is difficult as patients are often unaware of the foreign body ingestion and symptoms and imagiology are usually non-specific. The authors report a case of 62-year-old woman who was admitted with fever and abdominal pain. Further investigation revealed hepatic abscess, without resolution despite antibiotic therapy. A liver abscess resulting from perforation and intra-hepatic migration of a bone coming from the pilorum was diagnosed by surgery. The literature concerning foreign body-induced perforation of the gastrointestinal tract complicated by liver abscess is reviewed. | Sofia A Santos Sara CF Alberto Elsa Cruz Eduardo Pires Tomás Figueira lia Coimbra José Estevez Mário Oliveira Luís Novais Joo R Deus | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,9: | 10 |
| 16 | Interrelationship between chromosome 8 aneuploidy,C-MYC amplification and increased expression in individuals from northern Brazil with gastric adenocarcinoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate chromosome 8 numerical aberra- tions, C-MYC oncogene alterations and its expression in gastric cancer and to correlate these findings with histo- pathological characteristics of gastric tumors. METHODS: Specimens were collected surgically from seven patients with gastric adenocarcinomas. Immu- nostaining for C-MYC and dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for C-MYC gene and chromosome 8 centromere were performed. RESULTS: All the cases showed chromosome 8 aneu- ploidy and C-MYC amplification, in both the diffuse and intestinal histopathological types of Lauren. No significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the level ofchromosome 8 ploidy and the site, stage or histological type of the adenocarcinomas. C-MYC high amplification, like homogeneously stained regions (HSRs) and double minutes (DMs), was observed only in the intestinal-type. Structural rearrangement of C-MYC, like translocation, was observed only in the diffuse type. Regarding C-MYC gene, a significant difference (P < 0.05) was observed between the two histological types. The C-MYC protein was expressed in all the studied cases. In the intestinal- type the C-MYC immunoreactivity was localized only in the nucleus and in the diffuse type in the nucleus and cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: Distinct patterns of alterations between intestinal and diffuse types of gastric tumors support the hypothesis that these types follow different genetic path- ways. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Mariana Ferreira Leal Aline Damaceno Seabra Andre Salim Khayat Elizabeth Suchi Chen Samia Demachki Paulo Pimentel Assumpcao Mario Henrique Girao Faria Silvia Helena Barem Rabenhorst Márcia Valéria Pitombeira Ferreira Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith Rommel Rodríguez Burbano | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,38: | 9 |
| 17 | Chemical,Sensorial and Rheological Properties of a New Organic Rice Bran Beverage显示文摘Rice bran is a solid residue from rice polishing that is used in animal nutrition and rice oil production. Cultivation conditions with agro-toxics, lipids instability, and tendency for mycotoxin contamination restrict its application in human nutrition. Therefore, organic agriculture is an alternative to use the properties of rice bran. Rice bran beverage is a new cereal product from organic rice. This work presents the preliminary results of the chemical and rheological studies of a bath pasteurized rice bran beverage. Compared with integral defatted milk, soy extracts, and brown rice low-fat milk, the rice bran beverage studied in this work presents itself as an important source of minerals and unsaturated lipids. All essential amino acids were found in this product. Glutamic and aspartic acids were predominant. Bath pasteurization at boiling water temperature for 15 and 30 min was adequate for microbiological safety. Refrigeration storage for 20 days, evaluated by pH and acidity variations, was ideal for assessment of the beverage conservation time. The beverage viscosity was of the Newtonian standard behavior, and its viscosity during storage was not a good parameter to evaluate shelf life. Sensory preference tests showed positive perspectives for this new beverage. | Gerson Luis FACCIN Leila do Nascimento VIEIRA Letícia Adélia MIOTTo Pedro Luiz Manique BARRETO Edna Regina AMANTE | 2009 | Rice science2009,16,3: | 9 |
| 18 | Protective Effect of Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate on Ethanol-Induced Testicular Injuries in Mice显示文摘Objective:Ethanol treatment induces an increase in oxidative stress. As licorice compounds are potent antioxidants, our aim was to examine whether magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate attenuated lipid peroxidation, the major end-point of oxidative damage resulting from ethanol administration. Methods: Four groups(18 animals in each group) of male Kunming mice were used. The first group served as control and received 0.4 ml normal saline daily for 18 days orally. The second group of mice was given 56% ethanol at 16 ml/kg body weight per day for 18 days orally. The third group was given the same dose of ethanol and administrated magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (15 mg/kg.d, i.p.) for 18 days. The fourth group was given the same dose of ethanol and administrated with magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (45 mg/kg.d, i.p.) for 18 days. Twenty four hours after 9 days or 18 days of treatment the mice were sacrificed using 10% chloral hydrate. Sperm counts and motility in the epididymis were assessed. The lipid peroxidation and antioxidants of testicular mitochondria were also determined. The pathological changes of testicle tissue of the mice were observed by light microscopy. Results: Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate effectively prevented the ethanol-induced seminiferous epithelium disorganization and degeneration of Sertoli cells and germ cells. Sperm counts and motility of the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate treated groups were higher than those of the alcohol treated group, but were lower than those of the control group. The drug exhibited an ability to counteract ethanol induced oxidative challenge as it effectively reduced testicular malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Conclusion: Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate is able to inhibit the ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation and has a protective effect against testicular oxidative injury. | Yuanqiao He Fuqing Zeng Qing Liu Wen Ju Houju Fu Hua Hao Lulu Lia Yifeng Xie | 2010 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2010,24,2: | 9 |
| 19 | MYC and gastric adenocarcinoma carcinogenesis显示文摘MYC is an oncogene involved in cell cycle regulation,cell growth arrest,cell adhesion,metabolism,ribosome biogenesis,protein synthesis,and mitochondrial function. It has been described as a key element of several carcinogenesis processes in humans. Many studies have shown an association between MYC deregulation and gastric cancer. MYC deregulation is also seen in gastric preneoplastic lesions and thus it may have a role in early gastric carcinogenesis. Several studies have suggested that amplification is the main mechanism of MYC deregulation in gastric cancer. In the present review,we focus on the deregulation of the MYC oncogene in gastric adenocarcinoma carcinogenesis,including its association with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) and clinical applications. | Danielle Queiroz Calcagno Mariana Ferreira Leal Paulo Pimentel Assumpo Marília de Arruda Cardoso Smith Rommel Rodríguez Burbano | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,39: | 8 |
| 20 | Proteoglycans in liver cancer显示文摘Proteoglycans are a group of molecules that contain at least one glycosaminoglycan chain,such as a heparan,dermatan,chondroitin,or keratan sulfate,covalently attached to the protein core.These molecules arecategorized based on their structure,localization,and function,and can be found in the extracellular matrix,on the cell surface,and in the cytoplasm.Cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans,such as syndecans,are the primary type present in healthy liver tissue.However,deterioration of the liver results in overproduction of other proteoglycan types.The purpose of this article is to provide a current summary of the most relevant data implicating proteoglycans in the development and progression of human and experimental liver cancer.A review of our work and other studies in the literature indicate that deterioration of liver function is accompanied by an increase in the amount of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.The alteration of proteoglycan composition interferes with the physiologic function of the liver on several levels.This article details and discusses the roles of syndecan-1,glypicans,agrin,perlecan,collagen XVIII/endostatin,endocan,serglycin,decorin,biglycan,asporin,fibromodulin,lumican,and versican in liver function.Specifically,glypicans,agrin,and versican play significant roles in the development of liver cancer.Conversely,the presence of decorin could potentially provide protective effects. | Kornélia Baghy Péter Tátrai Eszter Regős Ilona Kovalszky | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,1: | 8 |
