| 1 | Helicobacter pylori and extragastric diseases: A review显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection is very common and affects approximately half of the world population. It causes gastric diseases, but some authors have reported an association of H. pylori infection with other systemic manifestations beginning in 1994. The list of potential effects of H. pylori outside the stomach includes a number of extragastric manifestations and we focused on neurological, dermatological, hematologic, ocular, cardiovascular, metabolic, allergic, and hepatobiliary diseases. This review discusses these important reported manifestations that are not related to the gastrointestinal tract. | Antonietta Gerarda Gravina Rocco Maurizio Zagari Cristiana De Musis Lorenzo Romano Carmelina Loguercio Marco Romano | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，29： | 90 |
| 2 | Fat:A matter of disturbance for the immune system显示文摘Obesity is increasingly being recognized as a risk factor for a number of benign and malignant gastrointestinal conditions. However, literature on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms is sparse and ambiguous. There is compelling evidence that both overnutrition and undernutrition negatively interfere with the immune system. Overnutrition has been found to increase susceptibility to the development of inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancer. In the regulation of immune and in? ammatory processes, white adipose tissue plays a critical role, not only as an energy store but also as an important endocrine organ. The obese state is characterised by a low-grade systemic in? ammation, mainly as a result of increased adipocytes as well as fat resident-and recruited-macrophage activity. In the past few years, various products of adipose tissue including adipokines and cytokines have been characterised and a number of pathways linking adipose tissue metabolism with the immune system have been identified. Activation of the innate immune system plays a major role in hepatic steatosis. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease includes a wide spectrum of diseases, from pure steatosis to non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis in the absence of signif icant alcohol consumption. Although steatosis is considered a non-progressive disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis may deteriorate in advanced chronic liver diseases, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. An important parallel between obesityrelated pathology of adipose tissue and liver pertains to the emerging role of macrophages, and growing evidence suggests that Kupffer cells critically contribute to progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Moreover, a close link between specif ic immune activation and atherosclerosis has been well established, suggesting that fat can directly trigger immune responses. This review discusses the role of fat as 'a matter of disturbance for the immune system' with a focus on hepatic steatosis. | Alessandro Federico Elena D’Aiuto Francesco Borriello Giusi Barra Antonietta Gerarda Gravina Marco Romano Raffaele De Palma | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，38： | 12 |
| 3 | Molecular cross-talk between Helicobacter pylori and human gastric mucosa显示文摘Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) has co-evolved with humans to be transmitted from person to person and to colonize the stomach persistently.A well-choreographed equilibrium between the bacterial effectors and host responses permits microbial persistence and health of the host,but confers a risk for serious diseases including gastric cancer.During its long coexistence with humans,H.pylori has developed complex strategies to limit the degree and extent of gastric mucosal damage and in? ammation,as well as immune effector activity.The present editorial thus aims to introduce and comment on major advances in the rapidly developing area of H.pylori/human gastric mucosa interaction (and its pathological sequelae),which is the result of millennia of co-evolution of,and thus of reciprocal knowledge between,the pathogen and its human host. | Vittorio Ricci Marco Romano Patrice Boquet | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，11： | 11 |

| 5 | Helicobacter pylori gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and its pathogenic role显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)is a bacterial virulence factor that converts glutamine into glutamate and ammonia,and converts glutathione into glutamate and cysteinylglycine.H.pylori GGT causes glutamine and glutathione consumption in the host cells,ammonia production and reactive oxygen species generation.These products induce cell-cycle arrest,apoptosis,and necrosis in gastric epithelial cells.H.pylori GGT may also inhibit apoptosis and induce gastric epithelial cell proliferation through the induction of cyclooxygenase-2,epidermal growth factor-related peptides,inducible nitric oxide synthase and interleukin-8.H.pylori GGT induces immune tolerance through the inhibition of T cell-mediated immunity and dendritic cell differentiation.The effect of GGT on H.pylori colonization and gastric persistence are also discussed. | Vittorio Ricci Maria Giannouli Marco Romano Raffaele Zarrilli | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，3： | 8 |
| 6 | Bone alterations in inflammatory bowel diseases显示文摘Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBDs)are characterized by a multifactorial partially unknown etiology that involves genetic,immunological and environmental factors.Up to 50%of IBD patients experience at least one extraintestinal manifestation;among them is the involvement of bone density which is referred to as metabolic bone disease(MBD),including osteopenia and osteoporosis.Bone alterations in IBDs population appear to have a multifactorial etiology:Decreased physical activity,inflammation-related bone resorption,multiple intestinal resections,dietary malabsorption of minerals and vitamin D deficiency,genetic factors,gut-bone immune signaling interaction,steroid treatment,microbiota and pathogenic micro-organisms interaction,and dietary malabsorption of minerals,that,all together or individually,may contribute to the alteration of bone mineral density.This review aims to summarize the prevalence and pathophysiology of metabolic bone alterations in IBD subjects outlining the main risk factors of bone fragility.We also want to underline the role of the screening and prophylaxis of bone alterations in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients and the importance of treating appropriately MBD. | Dolores Sgambato Francesca Gimigliano Cristiana De Musis Antimo Moretti Giuseppe Toro Emanuele Ferrante Agnese Miranda Domenico De Mauro Lorenzo Romano Giovanni Iolascon Marco Romano | 2019 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2019，7，15： | 8 |
| 7 | Clinical impact of selective transarterial chemoembolization on hepatocellular carcinoma:A cohort study显示文摘AIM:To prospectively evaluate the short and long term clinical impact of selective transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) on liver function in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).To assess side effects in relation to treatments.To analyze the overall survival and HCC progression free survival probability. METHODS:One hundred and seventeen cirrhotic patients with HCC were enrolled.Baseline liver function included Child-Pugh score and serum levels of alanineaminotransferase (ALT),prothrombin time(PT)and bilirubin.According to Cancer Liver Italian Program (CLIP) and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) staging systems,71 patients were eligible for TACE; 32 had previously received treatment for HCC.No significant differences in liver function were observed between previously treated and not treated patients. TACE was performed by selective catheterization of the arteries nourishing the lesions.While hospitalized, patient sunder went clinical,hematologicand ultrasonographic assessments.One month after TACE a CT scan was performed to assess tumor response. A second TACE was performed'on demand'.Liver function tests were checked in all patients every four months.RESULTS:After first TACE,the mean Child-Pugh score increased from a mean baseline 5.62±1.12 to 6.11±1.57 at discharge time (P<0.0001),decreasing after four months to 5.81±0.73 (not significant).ALT,PT and bilirubin significantly (P<0.0001)increased 24 h after TACE and progressively decreased until discharge. After the second TACE,variations in Child-Pugh score,ALT,PT and bilirubin were comparable to that described after the first TACE.No major complications were observed.The mean follow-up was 14.7±6.3 mo (median:16 mo).Only one patient died.No other patient experienced important long term worsening of clinical status.The overall survival probability at twenty-four months was 98.18%with a correspondent HCC progression free survival probability of 69%. CONCLUSION:Selectiv TAC Emayproduce significant,but transitory increases in ALT values, with no major impact on liver function and Child-Pugh score.Preservation of liver function is achievable also in patients previously treated with other therapeutic modalities and in patients undergoing multiple TACE cycles.Liver function can remain stable in the long-term, with optimal medium term survival.This result can be achieved through rigorous patient selection on the basis of tumour characteristics and clinical conditions. | Rodolfo Sacco Marco Bertini Pasquale Petruzzi Michele Bertoni Irene Bargellini Giampaolo Bresci Graziana Federici Luigi Gambardella Salvatore Metrangolo Giuseppe Parisi Antonio Romano Antonio Scaramuzzino Emanuele Tumino Alessandro Silvestri Emanuele Altomare Claudio Vignali Alfonso Capria | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，15： | 7 |
| 8 | Diet in neurogenic bowel management:A viewpoint on spinal cord injury显示文摘The aim of this review is to offer dietary advice for individuals with spinal cord injury(SCI)and neurogenic bowel dysfunction.With this in mind,we consider health conditions that are dependent on the level of lesion including skeletal muscle atrophy,autonomic dysreflexia and neurogenic bladder.In addition,SCI is often associated with a sedentary lifestyle,which increases risk for osteoporosis and diseases associated with chronic low-grade inflammation,including cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases.The Mediterranean diet,along with exercise and dietary supplements,has been suggested as an anti-inflammatory intervention in individuals with SCI.However,individuals with chronic SCI have a daily intake of whole fruit,vegetables and whole grains lower than the recommended dietary allowance for the general population.Some studies have reported an increase in neurogenic bowel dysfunction symptoms after high fiber intake;therefore,this finding could explain the low consumption of plant foods.Low consumption of fibre induces dysbiosis,which is associated with bothendotoxemia and inflammation.Dysbiosis can be reduced by exercise and diet in individuals with SCI.Therefore,to summarize our viewpoint,we developed a Mediterranean diet-based diet and exercise pyramid to integrate nutritional recommendations and exercise guidelines.Nutritional guidelines come from previously suggested recommendations for military veterans with disabilities and individuals with SCI,chronic kidney diseases,chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome.We also considered the recent exercise guidelines and position stands for adults with SCI to improve muscle strength,flexibility and cardiorespiratory fitness and to obtain cardiometabolic benefits.Finally,dietary advice for Paralympic athletes is suggested. | Marco Bernardi Anna Lucia Fedullo Elisabetta Bernardi Diego Munzi Ilaria Peluso Jonathan Myers Florigio Romano Lista Tommaso Sciarra | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，20： | 7 |
| 9 | Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection:Which regimen first?显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is a well-known human pathogen that plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis,peptic ulcer disease,and gastric malignancies.Although H.pylori is susceptible to several antimicrobials,this infection has proven challenging to cure because of the increasing prevalence of bacterial strains that are resistant to the most commonly used antimicrobials,particularly clarithromycin.An effective(i.e.,>90%)first-line therapy is mandatory for avoiding supplementary treatments and testing,and more importantly for preventing the development of secondary resistance.This study reviews the recent literature on first-line therapies forH.pylori.The eradication rates following standard triple therapy(a proton pump inhibitor plus amoxicillin and clarithromycin)for H.pylori infection are declining worldwide.Several first-line strategies have been proposed to increase the eradication rate,including extending the treatment duration to 14 d,the use of a four-drug regimen(bismuth-containing quadruple,sequential,and concomitant treatments),and the use of novel antibiotics,such as fluoroquinolones.However,the ef5ficacy of these regimens is controversial.A first-line eradication regimen should be based on what works best in a defined geographical area and must take into account the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in that region. | Alessandro Federico Antonietta Gerarda Gravina Agnese Miranda Carmela Loguercio Marco Romano | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，3： | 6 |
| 10 | Rethinking the Barcelona clinic liver cancer guidelines:Intermediate stage and Child-Pugh B patients are suitable for surgery?显示文摘According to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer recommendations,intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinomas(stage B)are excluded from liver resection and are referred to palliative treatment.Moreover,Child-Pugh B patients are not usually candidates for liver resection.However,many hepatobiliary centers in the world manage patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma or Child-Pugh B cirrhosis with liver resection,maintaining that hepatic resection is not contraindicated in selected patients with non–early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma and without normal liver function.Several studies demonstrate that resection provides the best survival benefit for selected patients in very early/early and even in intermediate stages of Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer classification,and this treatment gives good results in the setting of multinodular,large tumors in patients with portal hypertension and/or Child-Pugh B cirrhosis.In this review we explore this controversial topic,and we show through the literature analysis how liver resection may improve the short-and long-term survival rate of carefully selected Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer B and Child-Pugh B hepatocellular carcinoma patients.However,other large clinical studies are needed to clarify which patients with intermediate stage hepatocellular carcinoma are most likely to benefit from liver resection. | Fabrizio Romano Marco Chiarelli Mattia Garancini Mauro Scotti Mauro Zago Gerardo Cioffi Matilde De Simone Ugo Cioffi | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021，27，21： | 5 |
| 11 | Transarterial radioembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma:An update and perspectives显示文摘In the last decade trans-arterial radioembolization has given promising results in the treatment of patients with intermediate or advanced stage hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),both in terms of disease control and tolerability profile.This technique consists of the selective intra-arterial administration of microspheres loaded with a radioactive compound(usually Yttrium90),and exerts its therapeutic effect through the radiation carried by these microspheres.A careful and meticulous selection of patients is crucial before performing the radioembolization to correctly perform the procedure and reduce the incidence of complications.Radioembolization is a technically complex and expensive technique,which has only recently entered clinical practice and is supported by scant results from phase Ⅲ clinical trials.Nevertheless,it may represent a valid alternative to transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) in the treatment of intermediate-stage HCC patients,as shown by a comparative retrospective assessment that reported a longer time to progression,but not of overall survival,and a more favorable safety profile for radioembolization.In addition,this treatment has reported a higher percentage of tumor shrinkage,if compared to TACE,for pre-transplant downsizing and it represents a promising therapeutic option in patients with large extent of disease and insufficient residual liver volume who are not immediately eligible for surgery.Radioembolization might also be a suitable companion to sorafenib in advanced HCC or it can be used as a potential alternative to this treatment in patients who are not responding or do not tolerate sorafenib. | Rodolfo Sacco Valeria Mismas Sara Marceglia Antonio Romano Luca Giacomelli Marco Bertini Graziana Federici Salvatore Metrangolo Giuseppe Parisi Emanuele Tumino Giampaolo Bresci Ambra Corti Manuel Tredici Michele Piccinno Luigi Giorgi Carlo Bartolozzi Irene Bargellini | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，21： | 4 |
| 12 | Adipose-derived stem cells:Pathophysiologic implications vs therapeutic potential in systemic sclerosis显示文摘Adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)residing in the stromal vascular fraction(SVF)of white adipose tissue are recently emerging as an alternative tool for stem cell-based therapy in systemic sclerosis(SSc),a complex connective tissue disorder affecting the skin and internal organs with fibrotic and vascular lesions.Several preclinical and clinical studies have reported promising therapeutic effects of fat grafting and autologous SVF/ADSC-based local treatment for facial and hand cutaneous manifestations of SSc patients.However,currently available data indicate that ADSCs may represent a double-edged sword in SSc,as they may exhibit a pro-fibrotic and anti-adipogenic phenotype,possibly behaving as an additional pathogenic source of pro-fibrotic myofibroblasts through the adipocyte-to-myofibroblast transition process.Thus,in the perspective of a larger employ of SSc-ADSCs for further therapeutic applications,it is important to definitely unravel whether these cells present a comparable phenotype and similar immunosuppressive,anti-inflammatory,anti-fibrotic and pro-angiogenic properties in respect to healthy ADSCs.In light of the dual role that ADSCs seem to play in SSc,this review will provide a summary of the most recent insights into the preclinical and clinical studies employing SVF and ADSCs for the treatment of the disease and,at the same time,will focus on the main findings highlighting the possible involvement of these stem cells in SSc-related fibrosis pathogenesis. | Irene Rosa Eloisa Romano Bianca Saveria Fioretto Marco Matucci-Cerinic Mirko Manetti | 2021 | World Journal of Stem Cells2021，13，1： | 3 |

| 14 | Arthroscopic vs open ankle arthrodesis:A prospective case series with seven years follow-up显示文摘BACKGROUND The osteoarthritis of the ankle,although less common than other joints,is associated with severe functional limitation.Surgical options are ankle arthroscopic debridement,osteotomies,ankle arthrodesis and ankle arthroplasty.Ankle arthroplasty is increasingly used thanks to the new implants design,but ankle arthrodesis still represents the most used technique and it can be performed arthroscopically or with an open procedure.AIM To compare mid-term results of arthroscopic vs open ankle arthrodesis of patients affected by end-stage ankle arthritis.METHODS This study enrolled 23 patients,which underwent ankle arthrodesis.The patients were divided into 2 groups:group A(open procedure;n=11)and group B(arthroscopic procedure,n=12),the two groups were homogeneous with regard to age and body mass index(P=0.347).The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle score(AOFAS),Freiburg Ankle score(FAS)and visual analogue scale for pain intensity were evaluated preoperatively,at six months and at final follow-up of 7.6 years in group A and 7.3 years in group B(P=0.364).RESULTS Patients in the arthroscopic group showed better results at six-month follow-up compared to the open group at the AOFAS(group A,62.2;group B,78.5;P<0.05)and the FAS(group A,61.1;group B,70.3;P=0.015)scores.Pain relief was achieved in both groups at six-month follow-up(group A,1.4;group B,0.9;P=0.162).Both open and arthroscopic groups showed improved clinical outcomes from baseline to final follow-up(P>0.05).Hospital stay was shorter in group B than in group A(P=0.001).More complications were reported in the open group than in the arthroscopic group(P=0.459).CONCLUSION The arthroscopic and the open arthrodesis are valid and safe options for the treatment of ankle arthritis on the basis of clinical outcomes at 7 years follow-up.Moreover,the arthroscopic treatment shows faster improvement at six-month follow-up in comparison with the open group. | Federico Morelli Giorgio Princi Matteo Romano Cantagalli Marco Rossini Ludovico Caperna Daniele Mazza Andrea Ferretti | 2021 | World Journal of Orthopedics2021，12，12： | 3 |
| 15 | Is there a role for treatment-oriented surgery in liver metastases from gastric cancer?显示文摘BACKGROUND Distant metastases are found in approximately 35%of patients with gastric cancer at their first clinical observation,and of these,4%-14%involves the liver.Unfortunately,only 0.4%-2.3%of patients with metastatic gastric cancer are eligible for radical surgery.Although surgical resection for gastric cancer metastases is still debated,there have been changes in recent years,although several clinical issues remain to be defined and that must be taken into account before surgery is proposed.AIM To analyze the clinicopathological factors related to primary gastric tumor and metastases that impact the survival of patients with liver metastatic gastric cancer.METHODS We performed a systematic review of the literature from 2000 to 2018 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement.The study protocol was based on identifying studies with clearly defined purpose,eligibility criteria,methodological analysis,and patient outcome.RESULTS We selected 47 studies pertaining to the purpose of the review,which involved a total of 2304 patients.Median survival was 7-52.3 mo,median disease-free survival was 4.7-18 mo.The 1-,2-,3-,and 5-year overall survival(OS)was 33%-90.1%,10%-60%,6%-70.4%,and 0%-40.1%,respectively.Only five papers reported the 10-year OS,which was 5.5%–31.5%.The general recurrence rate was between 55.5%and 96%,and that for hepatic recurrence was between 15%and 94%.CONCLUSION Serous infiltration and lymph node involvement of the primary cancer indicate an unfavorable prognosis,while the presence of single metastasis or≤3 metastases associated with a size of<5 cm may be considered data that do not contraindicate liver resection. | Fabio Uggeri Lorenzo Ripamonti Enrico Pinotti Mauro Alessandro Scotti Simone Famularo Mattia Garancini Luca Gianotti Marco Braga Fabrizio Romano | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2020，11，7： | 3 |
| 16 | Comparison between the SAPIEN S3 and the SAPIEN XT transcatheter heart valves:A single-center experience显示文摘AIM To investigate the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation(TAVI) with the SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve(S3-THV) vs the SAPIEN XT valve(XT-THV).METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 507 patients that underwent TAVI with the XT-THV and 283 patients that received the S3-THV at our institution between March 2010 and December 2015.RESULTS Thirty-day mortality(3.5% vs 8.7%:OR=0.44,P=0.21) and 1-year mortality(25.7% vs 20.1%,P=0.55) were similar in the S3-THV and the XT-THV groups.The rates of both major vascular complication and paravalvular regurgitation(PVR)>1 were almost 4 times lower in the S3-THV group than the XT-THV group(major vascular complication: 2.8% vs 9.9%,P<0.0001:PVR>1: 2.4% vs 9.7%,P<0.0001).However,the rate of new pacemaker implantation was almost twice as high in the S3-THV group(17.3% vs 9.8%,P=0.03).In the S3 group,independent predictors of new permanent pacemaker were pre-procedural RBBB(OR=4.9:P=0.001),pre-procedural PR duration(OR=1.14,P=0.05) and device lack of coaxiality(OR=1.13:P=0.05) during deployment.CONCLUSION The S3-THV is associated to lower rates of major vascular complications and PVR but higher rates of new pacemaker compared to the XT-THV.Sub-optimal visualization of the S3-THV in relation to the aortic valvular complex during deployment is a predictor of new permanent pacemaker. | Fadi J Sawaya Marco Spaziano Thierry Lefèvre Andrew Roy Phillippe Garot Thomas Hovasse Antoinette Neylon Hakim Benamer Mauro Romano Thierry Unterseeh Marie-Claude Morice Bernard Chevalier | 2016 | World Journal of Cardiology2016，8，12： | 2 |

| 19 | Assessment of clinical and radiological response to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma patients显示文摘Sorafenib is an effective anti-angiogenic treatment forhepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). The assessment of tumor progression in patients treated with sorafenib is crucial to help identify potentially-resistant patients,avoiding unnecessary toxicities. Traditional methods to assess tumor progression are based on variations in tumor size and provide unreliable results in patients treated with sorafenib. New methods to assess tumor progression such as the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors or European Association for the Study of Liver criteria are based on imaging to measure the vascularization and tumor volume(viable or necrotic). These however fail especially when the tumor response results in irregular development of necrotic tissue. Newer assessment techniques focus on the evaluation of tumor volume,density or perfusion. Perfusion computed tomography and Dynamic ContrastEnhanced-UltraS ound can measure the vascularization of HCC lesions and help predict tumor response to antiangiogenic therapies. Mean Transit Time is a possible predictive biomarker to measure tumor response. Volumetric techniques are reliable,reproducible and time-efficient and can help measure minimal changes in viable tumor or necrotic tissue,allowing the prompt identification of non-responders. Volume ratio may be a reproducible biomarker for tumor response. Larger trials are needed to confirm the use of these techniques in the prediction of response to sorafenib. | Rodolfo Sacco Valeria Mismas Antonio Romano Marco Bertini Michele Bertoni Graziana Federici Salvatore Metrangolo Giuseppe Parisi Emanuele Tumino Giampaolo Bresci Luca Giacomelli Sara Marceglia Irene Bargellini | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，1： | 2 |
| 20 | Quality of bowel preparation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease undergoing colonoscopy:What factors to consider?显示文摘An adequate bowel preparation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a prerequisite for successful colonoscopy for screening,diagnosis,and surveillance.Several bowel preparation formulations are available,both high-and low-volume based on polyethylene glycol.Generally,low-volume formulations are also based on several compounds such as magnesium citrate preparations with sodium picosulphate,oral sulphate solution,and oral sodium phosphatebased solutions.Targeted studies on the quality of bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy in the IBD population are still required,with current evidence from existing studies being inconclusive.New frontiers are also moving towards the use of alternatives to anterograde ones,using preparations based on retrograde colonic lavage. | Antonietta Gerarda Gravina Raffaele Pellegrino Mario Romeo Giovanna Palladino Marina Cipullo Giorgia Iadanza Simone Olivieri Giuseppe Zagaria Nicola De Gennaro Antonio Santonastaso Marco Romano Alessandro Federico | 2023 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2023，15，3： | 2 |
