| 1 | Feasibility and safety of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation in patients with advanced chronic liver disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of bone marrow cell (BMC) transplantation in patients with chronic liver disease on the waiting list for liver transplantation. METHODS: Ten patients (eight males) with chronic liver disease were enrolled to receive infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived cells. Seven patients were classified as Child-Pugh B and three as Child-Pugh C. Baseline assessment included complete clinical and laboratory evaluation and abdominal MRI. Approximately 50 ml of bone marrow aspirate was prepared by centrifugation in a ficoll-hypaque gradient. At least of 100 millions of mononuclear-enriched BMCs were infused into the hepatic artery using the routine technique for arterial chemoembolization for liver tumors. Patients were followed up for adverse events up to 4 mo. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 52 years (range 24-70 years). All patients were discharged 48 h after BMC infusion. Two patients complained ofmild pain at the bone marrow needle puncture site. No other complications or specific side effects related to the procedure were observed. Bilirubin levels were lower at 1 (2.19 ± 0.9) and 4 mo (2.10 ± 1.0) after cell transplantation that baseline levels (2.78 ± 1.2). Albumin levels 4 mo after BMC infusion (3.73 ± 0.5) were higher than baseline levels (3.47 ± 0.5). International normalized ratio (INR) decreased from 1.48 (SD = 0.23) to 1.43 (SD = 0.23) one month after cell transplantation. CONCLUSION: BMC infusion into hepatic artery of patients with advanced chronic liver disease is safe and feasible. In addition, a decrease in mean serum bilirubin and INR levels and an increase in albumin levels are observed. Our data warrant further studies in order to evaluate the effect of BMC transplantation in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. | Andre Castro lyra Milena Botelho Pereira Soares luiz Flavio Maia da Silva Marcos Fraga Fortes André Goyanna Pinheiro Silva Augusto César de Andrade Mota Sheilla A Oliveira Eduardo lorens Braga Wilson Andrade de Carvalho Bernd Genser Ricardo Ribeiro dos Santos luiz Guilherme Costa lyra | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,7: | 21 |

| 3 | Bevacizumab for the management of diabetic macular edema显示文摘Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in the working-age population and is relatedto 1%-5% of cases of blindness worldwide. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most frequent cause of DR vision loss and is an important public health problem. Recent studies have implicated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in DR and DME pathogenesis, as well as provided evidence of the benefits of anti-VEGF agents for the management of such conditions. Despite the benefits of intravitreal ranibizumab injection for the management of DME, the cost-effectiveness of intravitreal bevacizumab therapy has gained increasing interest in the scientific community. This review summarizes the studies examining bevacizumab for the management of DME, focusing on the efficacy and duration of the clinical benefits of decreasing DME and the improvement of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). There is strong evidence that intravitreal bevacizumab injection therapy has a good cost-effective profile in the management of DME and may be associated with laser photocoagulation; however, its clinical superiority in terms of the duration of DME regression and the improvement of BCVA compared with intravitreal ranibizumab and other intravitreal anti-VEGF therapies remains unclear and deserves further investigation. | Francisco Rosa Stefanini J Fernando Arevalo Maurício Maia | 2013 | World Journal of Diabetes2013,4,2: | 18 |
| 4 | 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 |

| 6 | Crohn's disease of esophagus,stomach and duodenum显示文摘Crohn's disease with involvement of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum has a prevalence of 0.5% to 4% in symptomatic adult patients, but some studies have shown that these results may be underestimated, since upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is not performed routinely in the initial evaluation of the disease in adult patients, as it is in the pediatric population. In general, involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract in Crohn's disease occurs concomitantly with involvement of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The diagnosis depends on clinical,endoscopic, histological and radiological evaluation. The presence of aphthoid ulcers, longitudinal ulcers, bamboo-joint-like appearance, stenoses and fistulas are endoscopic findings suggestive of the disease, and it is important to exclude the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. The primary histological findings,which facilitate the diagnosis, are the presence of a chronic inflammatory process with a predominance of lymphoplasmacytic cells and active focal gastritis. The presence of epithelioid granuloma, although less frequent, is highly suggestive of the disease in the absence of chronic granulomatous disease. Treatment should include the use of proton pump inhibitors associated with corticosteroids,immunomodulators and biological therapy according to the severity of the disease. | Andréa Maia Pimentel Raquel Rocha Genoile Oliveira Santana | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2019,10,2: | 9 |
| 7 | Mechanisms of neuroplasticity and brain degeneration: strategies for protection during the aging process显示文摘Aging is a dynamic and progressive process that begins at conception and continues until death.This process leads to a decrease in homeostasis and morphological,biochemical and psychological changes,increasing the individual’s vulnerability to various diseases.The growth in the number of aging populations has increased the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases,impairment of the central nervous system and dementias,such as Alzheimer’s disease,whose main risk factor is age,leading to an increase of the number of individuals who need daily support for life activities.Some theories about aging suggest it is caused by an increase of cellular senescence and reactive oxygen species,which leads to inflammation,oxidation,cell membrane damage and consequently neuronal death.Also,mitochondrial mutations,which are generated throughout the aging process,can lead to changes in energy production,deficiencies in electron transport and apoptosis induction that can result in decreased function.Additionally,increasing cellular senescence and the release of proinflammatory cytokines can cause irreversible damage to neuronal cells.Recent reports point to the importance of changing lifestyle by increasing physical exercise,improving nutrition and environmental enrichment to activate neuroprotective defense mechanisms.Therefore,this review aims to address the latest information about the different mechanisms related to neuroplasticity and neuronal death and to provide strategies that can improve neuroprotection and decrease the neurodegeneration caused by aging and environmental stressors. | Mariana Toricelli Arthur Antonio Ruiz Pereira Guilherme Souza Abrao Helena Nascimento Malerba Julia Maia Hudson Sousa Buck Tania Araujo Viel | 2021 | Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,1: | 8 |

| 10 | Global Stability for a Heroin Model with Age-Dependent Susceptibility显示文摘This paper considers global asymptotic properties for an age-structured model of heroin use based on the principles of mathematical epidemiology where the incidence rate depends on the age of susceptible individuals. The basic reproduction number of the heroin spread is obtained. It completely determines the stability of equilibria. By using the direct Lyapunov method with Volterra type Lyapunov function, the authors show that the drug-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is less than one, and the unique drug spread equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is greater than one. | FANG Bin LI Xuezhi MARTCHEVA Maia CAI Liming | 2015 | Journal of Systems Science & Complexity2015,28,6: | 5 |
| 11 | Short-term effectiveness of golimumab for ulcerative colitis: Observational multicenter study显示文摘AIM To evaluate the real-world effectiveness of golimumab in ulcerative colitis(UC) and to identify predictors of response.METHODS We conducted an observational, prospective and multi-center study in UC patients treated with golimumab, from September 2014 to September 2015. Clinical activity was assessed at wk 0 and 14 with the physician's global clinical assessment(PGA) and the partial Mayo score. Colonoscopies and blood tests were performed, following daily-practice clinical criteria, and the results were recorded in an SPSS database.RESULTS Thirty-three consecutive patients with moderately to severely active UC were included. Among them, 54.5% were female and 42 years was the average age. Thirty percent had left-sided UC(E2) and 70% had extensive UC(E3). All patients had an endoscopic Mayo score of 2 or 3 at baseline. Twenty-seven point three percent were anti-tumor necrosis factor(TNF) treatment na?ve, whereas 72.7% had previously received infliximab and/or adalimumab. Sixty-nine point seven percent showed clinical response and were steroid-free at wk 14(a decrease from baseline in the partial Mayo score of at least 3 points). Based on PGA, the clinical remission and clinical response rates were 24% and 55% respectively. Withdrawal of corticosteroids was observed in 70.8% of steroid-dependent patients at the end of the study. Three out of 10 clinical non-responders needed a colectomy. Mean fecal calprotectin value at baseline was 300 μg/g, and 170.5 μg/g at wk 14. Being anti-TNF treatment na?ve was a protection factor, which was related to better chances of reaching clinical remission. Twenty-seven point three percent of the patients required treatment intensification at 14 wk of followup. Only three adverse effects(AEs) were observed during the study; all were mild and golimumab was not interrupted.CONCLUSION This real-life practice study endorses golimumab's promising results, demonstrating its short-term effectiveness and confirming it as a safe drug during the induction phase. | Marta Maia Bosca-Watts Xavier Cortes Marisa Iborra Jose Maria Huguet Laura Sempere Gloria Garcia Rafa Gil Mari Fe Garcia Marga Munoz Pedro Almela Nuria Maroto Jose Maria Paredes | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,47: | 5 |
| 12 | Automatic Detection of COVID-19 Infection Using Chest X-Ray Images Through Transfer Learning显示文摘The new coronavirus(COVID-19),declared by the World Health Organization as a pandemic,has infected more than 1 million people and killed more than 50 thousand.An infection caused by COVID-19 can develop into pneumonia,which can be detected by a chest X-ray exam and should be treated appropriately.In this work,we propose an automatic detection method for COVID-19 infection based on chest X-ray images.The datasets constructed for this study are composed of194 X-ray images of patients diagnosed with coronavirus and 194 X-ray images of healthy patients.Since few images of patients with COVID-19 are publicly available,we apply the concept of transfer learning for this task.We use different architectures of convolutional neural networks(CNNs)trained on Image Net,and adapt them to behave as feature extractors for the X-ray images.Then,the CNNs are combined with consolidated machine learning methods,such as k-Nearest Neighbor,Bayes,Random Forest,multilayer perceptron(MLP),and support vector machine(SVM).The results show that,for one of the datasets,the extractor-classifier pair with the best performance is the Mobile Net architecture with the SVM classifier using a linear kernel,which achieves an accuracy and an F1-score of 98.5%.For the other dataset,the best pair is Dense Net201 with MLP,achieving an accuracy and an F1-score of 95.6%.Thus,the proposed approach demonstrates efficiency in detecting COVID-19 in X-ray images. | Elene Firmeza Ohata Gabriel Maia Bezerra João Victor Souza das Chagas Aloísio Vieira Lira Neto Adriano Bessa Albuquerque Victor Hugo Cde Albuquerque Pedro Pedrosa Rebouças Filho | 2021 | IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica2021,8,1: | 3 |

| 16 | Extramedullary plasmocytoma associated with a massive deposit of amyloid in the duodenum显示文摘We report a rare case of extramedullary plasmocytoma associated with a massive deposit of amyloid in the duodenum.A 72-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital presenting with a 3-mo history of epigastric pain, vomiting and weight loss.On computed tomography(CT) a wall thickening of the fourth part of the duodenum was observed.Multiple biopsies obtained from the lesion showed inflltration of plasma cells and lymphocytes, but they were not conclusive.The patient underwent resection of the lesion and, on histopathological examination, the lesion consisted of a dense and diffuse inflltrate of plasma cells and a few admixed lymphocytes with reactive follicles extending to the muscular propria.An extensive deposition of amyloid was also observed.Immunohistochemical stains revealed that a few plasmacytoid cells showed λ light chain staining, though most were κ light chain positive.These cells also were positive for CD138 and CD56 but negative for CD20 and CD79.The flndings were consistent with extramedullary plasmocytomaassociated with a massive deposit of amyloid in duodenum.A subsequent workup for multiple myeloma was completely negative.The patient showed no signs of local recurrence or dissemination of the disease after 12 mo follow-up.Because of the association of plasmocytoma and amyloidosis, the patient must be followed up because of the possible systemic involvement of the neoplasm and amyloidosis in future. | Fabiana Pirani Carneiro Maria de Nazareth Machado Sobreira Lívia Bravo Maia Alesso Cervantes Sartorelli Luiz Eduardo de Almeida Prado Franceschi Mauro Brito Brando Bárbara Wosnjuk Calaca Fernando Silva Lustosa Joo Vieira Lopes | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,28: | 2 |

| 19 | 胚胎巨噬细胞和小胶质细胞消融调控小鼠胚胎背根神经节感觉神经元的发育显示文摘众所周知,小胶质细胞可以调节中枢神经系统发育的一些方面。在第11.5天的小鼠胚胎中的小胶质细胞定殖脊髓时,它们与背根神经节感觉神经元(SN)的生长中心轴突相互作用,这表明它们可能在SN发育中发挥一定功能。为了解决这个问题,我们使用缺乏胚胎巨噬细胞(PU.1敲除小鼠)和免疫细胞消融的小鼠胚胎分析胚胎巨噬细胞消融对SNs早期发育的影响。我们发现,除小胶质细胞外,胚胎巨噬细胞还与来自第11.5天的小鼠胚胎的原肌球蛋白受体激酶(Trk)C+感觉神经元,TrkB+感觉神经元和TrkA+感觉神经元外周神经突产生交联。免疫细胞剥夺会导致第11.5天的小鼠胚胎的TrkC+感觉神经元和TrkB+感觉神经元初始数量的减少,这与其发育细胞死亡(DCD)的改变有关联的可能性较小,因为其后在第12.5天的胚胎中的数量有短暂增加。在分析的发育期(第11.5~15.5天),它也导致TrkA+感觉神经元数量减少,尽管我们没有观察到他们的DCD有任何变化。与神经元祖细胞可能存在一致性的脑脂肪酸结合蛋白(BFABP-)阴性细胞的增殖在第11.5天的胚胎中增加,而它们的增殖在第12.5天的胚胎减少,这可部分解释从11.5 d观察到的SN亚型产生的改变。此外,我们观察到在缺乏胚胎巨噬细胞的情况下神经胶质细胞祖细胞(BFABP+细胞)增殖的改变。我们的数据表明,胚胎巨噬细胞和小胶质细胞消融调控SN的发育。 | Angelim MKSC Maia LMSS Mouffle C Ginhoux F Low D Amancio-Dos-Santos A Makhoul J Le Corronc H Mangin JM Legendre P 聂昊(编译) | 2018 | 神经损伤与功能重建2018,13,9: | 2 |
| 20 | Murine model to study brain,behavior and immunity during hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘AIM:To propose an alternative model of hepatic encephalopathy(HE) in mice,resembling the human features of the disease.METHODS:Mice received two consecutive intraperitoneal injections of thioacetamide(TAA) at low dosage(300 mg/kg).Liver injury was assessed by serum transaminase levels(ALT) and liver histology(hematoxylin and eosin).Neutrophil infiltration was estimated by confocal liver intravital microscopy.Coagulopathy was evaluated using prolonged prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time.Hemodynamic parameters were measured through tail cuff.Ammonia levels were quantified in serum and brain samples.Electroencephalography(EEG) and psychomotor activity score were performed to show brain function.Brain edema was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging.RESULTS:Mice submitted to the TAA regime developed massive liver injury,as shown by elevation of serum ALT levels and a high degree of liver necrosis.An intense hepatic neutrophil accumulation occurred in response to TAA-induced liver injury.This led to mice mortality and weight loss,which was associated with severe coagulopathy.Furthermore,TAA-treated mice presented with increased serum and cerebral levels of ammonia,in parallel with alterations in EEG spectrum and discrete brain edema,as shown by magnetic resonance imaging.In agreement with this,neuropsychomotor abnormalities ensued 36 h after TAA,fulfilling several HE features observed in humans.In this context of liver injury and neurological dysfunction,we observed lung inflammation and alterations in blood pressure and heart rate that were indicative of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.CONCLUSION:In summary,we describe a new murine model of hepatic encephalopathy comprising multiple features of the disease in humans,which may provide new insights for treatment. | Lindisley Ferreira Gomides Pedro Elias Marques Bruno Engler Faleiros Rafaela Vaz Pereira Sylvia Stella Amaral Thais Reis Lage Gustavo Henrique Souza Resende Patricia Alves Maia Guidine Giselle Foureaux Fabíola Mara Ribeiro Fabiana Paiva Martins Marco Antonio Peliky Fontes Anderson José Ferreira Remo Castro Russo Mauro Martins Teixeira Márcio Flávio Moraes Antonio Lúcio Teixeira Gustavo Batista Menezes | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,4: | 2 |
