1Current management strategy of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still remains a considerable challenge for surgeons.Surgery,including liver transplantation,is the most important therapeutic approach for patients with this disease.HCC is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages and has a poor prognosis with a high mortality rate even when surgical resection has been considered potentially curative.This brief report summarizes the current status of the management of this malignancy and includes a short description of new pharmacological approaches in HCC treatment.Bernardino Rampone Beniamino Schiavone Antonio Martino Carmine Viviano Giuseppe Confuorto 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,26:50
2Comparison of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, proton density fat fraction and histological analysis in the quantification of liver steatosis in children and adolescents显示文摘AIM To establish a threshold value for liver fat content between healthy children and those with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) by using magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), with liver biopsy serving as a reference standard. METHODS The study was approved by the local ethics committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants and their legal guardians before the study began. Twenty-seven children with NAFLD underwent liver biopsy to assess the presence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The assessment of liver fat fraction was performed using MRI, with a high field magnet and 2D gradient-echo and multiple-echo T1-weighted sequence with low flip angle and single-voxel pointresolved 1H MR-Spectroscopy(1H-MRS), corrected for T1 and T2* decays. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine the best cutoff value. Lin coefficient test was used to evaluate thecorrelation between histology, MRS and MRI-PDFF. A Mann-Whitney U-test and multivariate analysis were performed to analyze the continuous variables. RESULTS According to MRS, the threshold value between healthy children and those with NAFLD is 6%; using MRI-PDFF, a cut-off value of 3.5% is suggested. The Lin analysis revealed a good fit between the histology and MRS as well as MRI-PDFF.CONCLUSION MRS is an accurate and precise method for detecting NAFLD in children.Michele Di Martino Lucia Pacifico Mario Bezzi Rossella Di Miscio Beatrice Sacconi Claudio Chiesa Carlo Catalano 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,39:16

4Big Earth Data science:an information framework for a sustainable planet显示文摘The digital transformation of our society coupled with the increasing exploitation of natural resources makes sustainability challenges more complex and dynamic than ever before.These changes will unlikely stop or even decelerate in the near future.There is an urgent need for a new scientific approach and an advanced form of evidence-based decisionmaking towards the benefit of society,the economy,and the environment.To understand the impacts and interrelationships between humans as a society and natural Earth system processes,we propose a new engineering discipline,Big Earth Data science.This science is called to provide the methodologies and tools to generate knowledge from diverse,numerous,and complex data sources necessary to ensure a sustainable human society essential for the preservation of planet Earth.Big Earth Data science aims at utilizing data from Earth observation and social sensing and develop theories for understanding the mechanisms of how such a social-physical system operates and evolves.The manuscript introduces the universe of discourse characterizing this new science,its foundational paradigms and methodologies,and a possible technological framework to be implemented by applying an ecosystem approach.CASEarth and GEOSS are presented as examples of international implementation attempts.Conclusions discuss important challenges and collaboration opportunities.Huadong Guo Stefano Nativi Dong Liang Max Craglia Lizhe Wang Sven Schade Christina Corban Guojin He Martino Pesaresi Jianhui Li Zeeshan Shirazi Jie Liu Alessandro Annoni 2020International Journal of Digital Earth2020,13,7:12
5Clinical management of advanced gastric cancer: The role of new molecular drugs显示文摘Gastric cancer is the fourth most common malignant neoplasm and the second leading cause of death for cancer in Western countries with more than 20000 new cases yearly diagnosed in the United States.Surgery represents the main approach for this disease but,notwithstanding the advances in surgical techniques,we observed a minimal improvement in terms of overall survival with a significant increasing of relapsing disease rates.Despite the development of new drugs has significantly improved the effectiveness of chemothera-py,the prognosis of patients with unresectable or metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma remains poor.Recently,several molecular target agents have been investigated;in particular,trastuzumab represents the first target molecule showing improvements in overall survival in human epithelial growth factor 2-positive gastric cancer patients.New molecules targeting vascular epithelial growth factor,mammalian target of rapamycin,and anti hepatocyte growth factor-c-Met pathway are also under investigation,with interesting results.Anyway,it seems necessary to select more accurately the population to treat with new agents by the identification of new biomarkers in order to optimize the results.In this paper we review the actual'scenario'of targeted treatments,also focusing on the new agents in development for gastric cancer and gastro-esophageal carcinoma,discussing their efficacy and potential applications in clinical practice.Ferdinando De Vita Natale Di Martino Alessio Fabozzi Maria Maddalena Laterza Jole Ventriglia Beatrice Savastano Angelica Petrillo Valentina Gambardella Vincenzo Sforza Luigi Marano Annamaria Auricchio Gennaro Galizia Fortunato Ciardiello Michele Orditura 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,40:12
6Antitumor effects of the benzophenanthridine alkaloid sanguinarine: Evidence and perspectives显示文摘Historically, natural products have represented a significant source of anticancer agents, with plant-derived drugs becoming increasingly explored. In particular, sanguinarine is a benzophenanthridine alkaloid obtained from the root of Sanguinaria canadensis, and from other poppy Fumaria species, with recognized anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, increasing evidence that sanguinarine exibits anticancer potential through its capability of inducing apoptosis and/or antiproliferative effects on tumor cells, has been proved. Moreover, its antitumor seems to be due not only to its pro-apoptotic and inhibitory effects on tumor growth, but also to its antiangiogenic and anti-invasive properties. Although the precise mechanisms underlying the antitumor activity of this compound remain not fully understood, in this review we will focus on the most recent findings about the cellular and molecular pathways affected by sanguinarine, together with the rationale of its potential application in clinic. The complex of data currently available suggest the potential application of sanguinarine as an adjuvant in the therapy of cancer, but further pre-clinical studies are needed before such an antitumor strategy can be effectively translated in the clinical practice.Roberta Gaziano Gabriella Moroni Cristina Buè Martino Tony Miele Paola Sinibaldi-Vallebona Francesca Pica 2016World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,1:11
7The Plasticity of γδ T Cells:Innate Immunity,Antigen Presentation and New Immunotherapy显示文摘Several signals influence dendritic cell (DC) functions and consequent the immune responses to infectious pathogens. Our recent findings provide a new model of intervention on DCs implicating human γδ T cell stimuli. Vγ9Vδ2 T cells represent the major subset of circulating human γδ T cells and can be activated by non-peptidic molecules derived from different microorganisms or abnormal metabolic routes. With activated-Vγ9Vδ2 T cell co-culture, immature DCs acquire features of mature DCs, such as increasing the migratory activity, up-regulating the chemokine receptors, and triggering the Th1 immune response. Similar to the NK-derived signals, DC activation is mediated by soluble factors as well as cell-to-cell contact. Many non-peptidic molecules including nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates and pyrophosphomonoester drugs, can stimulate the activity of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in vitro and in vivo. The relatively low in vivo toxicity of many of these drugs makes possible novel vaccine and immune-based strategies against infectious diseases.Rita Casetti Angelo Martino 2008Cellular & Molecular Immunology2008,5,3:10
8T1-weighted dual-echo MRI for fat quantification in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM:To determine in obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing liver fat concentration.METHODS:A case-control study was performed.Cases were 25 obese children with biopsy-proven NAFLD.Controls were 25 obese children matched for age and gender,without NAFLD at ultrasonography and with normal levels of aminotransferases and insulin.Hepatic fat fraction (HFF) by MRI was obtained using a modification of the Dixon method.RESULTS:HFF ranged from 2% to 44% [mean,19.0% (95% CI,15.1-27.4)] in children with NAFLD,while in the controls this value ranged from 0.08% to 4.69% [2.0% (1.3-2.5),P < 0.0001].HFF was highly correlated with histological steatosis (r=0.883,P < 0.0001) in the NAFLD children.According to the histological grade of steatosis,the mean HFF was 8.7% (95% CI,6.0-11.6) for mild,21.6% (15.3-27.0) for moderate,and 39.7% (34.4-45.0) for severe fatty liver infiltration.With a cutoff of 4.85%,HFF had a sensitivity of 95.8% for the diagnosis of histological steatosis ≥ 5%.All control children had HFF lower than 4.85%;thus,the specificity was 100%.After 12 mo,children with weight loss displayed a significant decrease in HFF.CONCLUSION:MRI is an accurate methodology for liver fat quantification in pediatric NAFLD.Lucia Pacifico Michele Di Martino Carlo Catalano Valeria Panebianco Mario Bezzi Caterina Anania Claudio Chiesa 2011World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,25:9
9Digital Earth 2020:towards the vision for the next decade显示文摘This position paper is the outcome of a brainstorming workshop organised by the International Society for Digital Earth(ISDE)in Beijing in March 2011.It argues that the vision of Digital Earth(DE)put forward by Vice-President Al Gore 13 years ago needs to be re-evaluated in the light of the many developments in the fields of information technology,data infrastructures and earth observation that have taken place since.The paper identifies the main policy,scientific and societal drivers for the development of DE and illustrates the multi-faceted nature of a new vision of DE grounding it with a few examples of potential applications.Because no single organisation can on its own develop all the aspects of DE,it is essential to develop a series of collaborations at the global level to turn the vision outlined in this paper into reality.Max Craglia Kees de Bie Davina Jackson Martino Pesaresi Gabor Remetey-Fulopp Changlin Wang Alessandro Annoni Ling Bian Fred Campbell Manfred Ehlers John van Genderen Michael Goodchild Huadong Guo Anthony Lewis Richard Simpson Andrew Skidmore Peter Woodgate 2012International Journal of Digital Earth2012,5,1:8
10Prevalence of bile reflux in gastroesophageal reflux disease patients not responsive to proton pump inhibitors显示文摘AIM:To determine the prevalence and characteristics of bile reflux in gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) patients with persistent symptoms who are non-responsive to medical therapy.METHODS:Sixty-five patients(40 male,25 female;mean age,50 ± 7.8 years) who continued to report symptoms after 8 wk of high-dose proton pump inhibitor(PPI) therapy,as well as 18 patients with Barrett's esophagus,were studied.All patients filled out symptom questionnaires and underwent endoscopy,manometry and combined pH-metry and bilimetry.RESULTS:There were 4 groups of patients:22(26.5%) without esophagitis,24(28.9%) grade A-B esophagitis,19(22.8%) grade C-D and 18(21.6%) Barrett's esophagus.Heartburn was present in 71 patients(85.5%) and regurgitation in 55(66.2%),with 44(53%) reporting simultaneous heartburn and regurgitation.The prevalence of pathologic acid reflux in the groups without esophagitis and with grades A-B and C-D esophagitis was 45.4%,66.6% and 73.6%,respectively.The prevalence of pathologic bilirubin exposure in these 3 groups was 53.3%,75% and 78.9%,respectively.The overall prevalence of bile reflux in non-responsive patients was 68.7%.Pathologic acid and bile reflux was observed in 22.7% and 58.1% of non-esophagitic patients and esophagitic patients,respectively.CONCLUSION:The high percentage of patients poorly responsive to PPI therapy may result from poor control of duodenogastroesophageal reflux.Many patients without esophagitis have simultaneous acid and bile reflux,which increases with increasing esophagitis grade.Luigi Monaco Antonio Brillantino Francesco Torelli Michele Schettino Giuseppe Izzo Angelo Cosenza Natale Di Martino 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,3:8
11Therapeutic implications of colon cancer stem cells显示文摘Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in many industrialized countries and is characterized by a heterogenic pool of cells with distinct differentiation patterns. Recently, the concept that cancer might arise from a rare population of cells with stem cell-like properties has received support with regard to several solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. According to the cancer stem cell hypothesis, cancer can be considered a disease in which mutations either convert normal stem cells into aberrant counterparts or cause a more differentiated cell to revert toward a stem cell-like behaviour; either way these cells are thought to be responsible for tumor generation and propagation. The statement that only a subset of cells drives tumor formation has major implications for the development of new targeted therapeutic strategies aimed at eradicating the tumor stem cell population. This review will focus on the biology of normal and malignant colonic stem cells, which might contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for tumor development and resistance to therapy.Eros Fabrizi Simona di Martino Federica Pelacchi Lucia Ricci-Vitiani 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,31:8
12Laparoscopic approach to Meckel's diverticulum显示文摘AIM: To retrospective review the laparoscopic management of Meckel Diverticulum(MD) in two Italian Pediatric Surgery Centers.METHODS: Between January 2002 and December 2012, 19 trans-umbilical laparoscopic-assisted(TULA) procedures were performed for suspected MD. The children were hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding and/or recurrent abdominal pain. Median age at diagnosis was 5.4 years(range 6 mo-15 years). The study included 15 boys and 4 girls. All patients underwent clinical examination, routine laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound and technetium-99m pertechnetate scan, and patients with bleeding underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy. The abdominal exploration was performed with a 10 mm operative laparoscope. Pneumoperitoneum was establishedbased on the body weight. Systematic overview of the peritoneal cavity allowed the ileum to be grasped with an atraumatic instrument. The complete exploration and surgical treatment of MD were performed extracorporeally, after intestinal exteriorization through the umbilicus. All patients' demographics, main clinical features, diagnostic investigations, operative time, histopathology reports, conversion rate, hospital stay and complications were registered and analyzed.RESULTS: MD was identified in 17 patients, while 1 had an ileal duplication and 1 a jejunal hemangioma. Fifteen patients had painless intestinal bleeding, while 4 had recurrent abdominal pain and exhibited cyst like structures in an ultrasound study. Eleven patients had a positive technetium-99m pertechnetate scan. In the patients with bleeding, gastrointestinal endoscopy did not name the source of hemorrhage. All patients were subjected to a TULA surgical procedure. An intestinal resection/anastomosis was performed in 14 patients, while 4 had a wedge resection of the diverticulum and 1 underwent stapling diverticulectomy. All surgical procedures were performed without conversion to open laparotomy. Mean operative time was 75 min(range 40-115 min). No major surgical complications were recorded. The median hospital stay was 5-7 d(range 4-13 d). All patients are asymptomatic at a median follow up of 4, 5 years(range 10 mo-10 years).CONCLUSION: Trans-umbilical laparoscopic-assisted Meckel's diverticulectomy is safe and effective in the treatment of MD, with excellent results.Alfonso Papparella Fabiano Nino Carmine Noviello Antonio Marte Pio Parmeggiani Ascanio Martino Giovanni Cobellis 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,25:7
13Dual mobility cups in total hip arthroplasty显示文摘Total hip arthroplasty(THA)is considered one of the most successful surgical procedures in orthopaedics.With the increase in the number of THAs performed in the world in the next decades,reducing or preventing medical and mechanical complications such as post-operative THA instability will be of paramount importance,particularly in an emerging health care environment based on quality control and patient outcome.Dual mobility acetabular component(also known as unconstrained tripolar implant)was introduced in France at the end of the 1970s as an alternative to standard sockets,to reduce the risk of THA dislocation in patients undergoing primary THA in France.Dual mobility cups have recently gained wider attention in the United States as an alternative option in the prevention and treatment of instability in both primary and revision THA and offer the benefit of increased stability without compromising clinical outcomes and implant longevity.In this article,we review the use of dual mobility cup in total hip arthroplasty in terms of its history,biomechanics,outcomes and complications based on more than20 years of medical literature.Ivan De Martino Georgios Konstantinos Triantafyllopoulos Peter Keyes Sculco Thomas Peter Sculco 2014World Journal of Orthopedics2014,5,3:5
14Laser particles with omnidirectional emission for cell tracking显示文摘The ability to track individual cells in space over time is crucial to analyzing heterogeneous cell populations.Recently,microlaser particles have emerged as unique optical probes for massively multiplexed single-cell tagging.However,the microlaser far-field emission is inherently direction-dependent,which causes strong intensity fluctuations when the orientation of the particle varies randomly inside cells.Here,we demonstrate a general solution based on the incorporation of nanoscale light scatterers into microlasers.Two schemes are developed by introducing either boundary defects or a scattering layer into microdisk lasers.The resulting laser output is omnidirectional,with the minimum-to-maximum ratio of the angle-dependent intensity improving from 0.007(-24 dB)to>0.23(-6dB).After transfer into live cells in vitro,the omnidirectional laser particles within moving cells could be tracked continuously with high signal-to-noise ratios for 2 h,while conventional microlasers exhibited frequent signal loss causing tracking failure.Shui-Jing Tang Paul H.Dannenberg Andreas C.Liapis Nicola Martino Yue Zhuo Yun-Feng Xiao Seok-Hyun Yun 2021Light(Science & Applications)2021,10,2:5
15蓖麻油酸甲酯乙氧基化物的合成与耐酸耐碱性研究显示文摘在一定的温度和压力条件下,以及特制的均相催化剂作用下,直接由蓖麻油酸甲酯得到了产物蓖麻油酸甲酯乙氧基化物(ECAME-10)。通过皂化值、气相色谱(GC)和1HNMR测定了ECAME-10的平均环氧乙烷(EO)加合数,在不同p H条件下测定了ECAME-10的耐酸耐碱性,并跟踪拍摄了不同p H溶液不同阶段的外观照片,同时测定了不同阶段溶液的表面张力。结果显示:ECAME-10有较强的抗水解能力,当p H=4~9时,ECAME-10的水解较慢,8周后其水解率在40%以下;水解后的表面张力数据表明,水解后溶液的表面张力可保持稳定。张谦 孙永强 王万绪 智丽飞 Martino Di Serio 刘伟 2015日用化学工业2015,45,12:5
16Multiplexed laser particles for spatially resolved single-cell analysis显示文摘Biomolecular analysis at the single-cell level is increasingly important in the study of cellular heterogeneity and its consequences,particularly in organismic development and complex diseases such as cancer.Single-cell molecular analyses have led to the identification of new cell types1 and the discovery of novel targets for diagnosis and therapy2.While these analyses are performed predominantly on dissociated single cells,emerging techniques seek understanding of cellular state,cellular function and cell–cell interactions within the native tissue environment by combining optical microscopy and single-cell molecular analyses.These techniques include in situ multiplexed imaging of fluorescently labeled proteins and nucleotides,as well as low-throughput ex vivo methods in which specific cells are isolated for downstream molecular analyses.However,these methods are limited in either the number and type of molecular species they can identify or the number of cells that can be analyzed.High-throughput methods are needed for comprehensive profiling of many cells(>1000)to detect rare cell types,discriminate relevant biomarkers from intrinsic population noise,and reduce the time and cost of measurement.Many established,highthroughput single-cell analyses are not directly applicable because they require tissue dissociation,leading to a loss of spatial information3.No current methods exist that can seamlessly connect spatial mapping to single-cell techniques.In this Perspective,we review current methods for spatially resolved single-cell analysis and discuss the prospect of novel multiplexed imaging probes,called laser particles,which allow individual cells to be tagged in tissue and analyzed subsequently using high-throughput,comprehensive single-cell techniques.Sheldon J.J.Kwok Nicola Martino Paul H.Dannenberg Seok-Hyun Yun 2019Light(Science & Applications)2019,8,1:5
17Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with hepatic angiomyolipoma:A literature review显示文摘First reported in 1976,hepatic angiomyolipoma(HAML)is a rare mesenchymal liver tumor occurring mostly in middle-aged women.Diagnosis of the liver mass is often incidental on abdominal imaging due to the frequent absence of specific symptoms.Nearly 10%of HAMLs are associated with tuberous sclerosis complex.HAML contains variable proportions of blood vessels,smooth muscle cells and adipose tissue,which renders radiological diagnosis hazardous.Cells express positivity for HMB-45 and actin,thus these tumors are integrated into the group of perivascular epithelioid cell tumors.Typically,a HAML appears on magnetic resonance imaging(or computed tomography scan)as a hypervascular solid tumor with fatty areas and with washout,and can easily be misdiagnosed as other liver tumors,particularly hepatocellular carcinoma.The therapeutic strategy is not clearly defined,but surgical resection is indicated for symptomatic patients,for tumors showing an aggressive pattern(i.e.,changes in size on imaging or high proliferation activity and atypical epithelioid pattern on liver biopsy),for large(>5 cm)biopsy-proven HAML,and if doubts remain on imaging or histology.Conservative management may be justified in other conditions,since most cases follow a benign clinical course.In summary,the correct diagnosis of HAML is challenging on imaging and relies mainly on pathological findings.Paul Calame Gaelle Tyrode Delphine Weil Verhoeven Sophie Felix Anne Julia Klompenhouwer Vincent Di Martino Eric Delabrousse Thierry Thevenot 2021World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,19:5
18Adenocarcinoma of gastric cardia in the elderly: Surgical problems and prognostic factors显示文摘AIM: To analyze retrospectively, our results about patients who underwent surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of the cardia in relation to age, in order to evaluate surgical problems and prognostic factors.METHODS: From January 1987 to March 2003, 140 patients with adenocarcinoma of the cardia underwent resection in the authors' institution. They were divided into three groups with regard to age. Patients <70 and >60 year old (31) were excluded; we also excluded 18 out of 109 patients with poor general status or systemic metastases. So, we compared 51 elderly (≥ 70 year old)and 58 younger patients (≤ 60 year old). The treatment was esophagectomy for type Ⅰ tumors, and extended gastrectomy and distal esophagectomy for type Ⅱ and Ⅲ lesions.RESULTS: Laparotomy was carried out in 91 patients (83.4%), 38 in the elderly (74.5%) and 53 in younger patients (91.3%, P<0.05). Primary resection was performed in 811 cases (89%) without significant differences between the two groups. Postoperative death was higher in the elderly (12.1%) than the other group (4.1%, P<0.05), while morbidity was similar in both groups. A curative resection (R0) was performed in 59 patients (72.8%), 69.6% in the elderly and 75% in the younger group (P>0.05). The overall 3- and 5-year survival rates were 26.7% and 117.8% respectively for the elderly and 40.7% and 35.1% respectively for younger patients (P = 0.1544). Survival rates were significantly associated with R0 resection,pathological node-positive category and tumor differentiation in both groups.CONCLUSION: As the age of the general population increases, more elderly patients with gastric cardia cancer will be candidates for surgical resection. Age alone should not preclude surgical treatment in elderly patients with gastric cardia cancer and a tumor resection can be carried out safely. Certainly, we should take care in defining the surgical treatment in elderly patients, particularly as regarding the surgical approach; although the surgical approach does not influence the survival rate, the transhiatal way still remains the best one due, to the lower incidence of respiratory morbidity and thoracic pain.Natale Di Martino Giuseppe Izzo Angelo Cosenza Guido Cerullo Francesco Torelli Antonio Brillantino Alberto del Genio 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,33:5

20Pancreatic fat and β-cell function in overweight/obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM: To analyze the associations of pancreatic fat with other fat depots and β-cell function in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS: We examined 158 overweight/obese children and adolescents, 80 with NAFLD [hepatic fat fraction(HFF) ≥ 5%] and 78 without fatty liver. Visceral adipose tissue(VAT), pancreatic fat fraction(PFF) and HFF were determined by magnetic resonance imaging. Estimates of insulin sensitivity were calculated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR), defined by fasting insulin and fasting glucose and whole-body insulin sensitivity index(WBISI), based on mean values of insulin and glucose obtained from oral glucose tolerance test and the corresponding fasting values. Patients were considered to have prediabetes if they had either:(1) impaired fasting glucose, defined as a fasting glucose level ≥ 100 mg/d L to < 126 mg/d L;(2) impaired glucose tolerance, defined as a 2 h glucose concentration between ≥ 140 mg/d L and < 200 mg/d L; or(3) hemoglobin A1 c value of ≥ 5.7% to < 6.5%.RESULTS: PFF was significantly higher in NAFLD patients compared with subjects without liver involvement. PFF was significantly associated with HFF and VAT, as well as fasting insulin, C peptide, HOMA-IR, and WBISI. The association between PFF and HFF was no longer significant after adjusting for age, gender, Tanner stage, body mass index(BMI)-SD score, and VAT. In multiple regression analysis withWBISI or HOMA-IR as the dependent variables, against the covariates age, gender, Tanner stage, BMI-SD score, VAT, PFF, and HFF, the only variable significantly associated with WBISI(standardized coefficient B,-0.398; P = 0.001) as well as HOMA-IR(0.353; P = 0.003) was HFF. Children with prediabetes had higher PFF and HFF than those without. PFF and HFF were significantly associated with prediabetes after adjustment for clinical variables. When all fat depots where included in the same model, only HFF remained significantly associated with prediabetes(OR = 3.38; 95%CI: 1.10-10.4; P = 0.034).CONCLUSION: In overweight/obese children with NAFLD, pancreatic fat is increased compared with those without liver involvement. However, only liver fat is independently related to prediabetes.Lucia Pacifico Michele Di Martino Caterina Anania Gian Marco Andreoli Mario Bezzi Carlo Catalano Claudio Chiesa 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,15:5
