1Cardiac rehabilitation and exercise therapy in the elderly: Should we invest in the aged?显示文摘冠的心疾病(CHD ) 是世界范围的死亡的领先的原因并且在病人之中变得逐渐地流行 65 岁以上。老病人在为复杂并发症的更高的风险并且在一个心血管的事件以后加速物理 deconditioning,特别与他们的更年轻的对应物相比。最后几十年是到与 CHD 在病人之中在死亡,锻练能力,心理风险因素,发炎,和肥胖上表明了心脏的康复(CR ) 和锻练治疗的有益的效果的多重研究的厕所。不幸地,这个领域里的可得到的数据的重要部分与更年轻的病人相关。可行解释是更老的病人在为以病人开始并且延长到医生的多重原因的这些节目是非常未被充分代表的。在这篇文章,我们将考察 CR 节目的好处在之中老,以及一些妨碍他们的参予的障碍。Arthur R Menezes Carl J Lavie Richard V Milani Ross A Arena Timothy S Church 2012Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2012,9,1:25
2Magnetic resonance imaging in breast cancer:A literature review and future perspectives显示文摘Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer are essential for successful treatment. Currently mammography and ultrasound are the basic imaging techniques for the detection and localization of breast tumors. The low sensitivity and specificity of these imaging tools resulted in a demand for new imaging modalities and breast magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) has become increasingly important in the detection and delineation of breast cancer in daily practice. However, the clinical benefits of the use of pre-operative MRI in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer is still a matter of debate. The main additional diagnostic value of MRI relies on specific situations such as detecting multifocal, multicentric or contralateral disease unrecognized on conventional assessment(particularly in patients diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma), assessing the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, detection of cancer in dense breast tissue, recognition of an occult primary breast cancer in patients presenting with cancer metastasis in axillary lymph nodes, among others. Nevertheless, the development of new MRI technolo-gies such as diffusion-weighted imaging, proton spectroscopy and higher field strength 7.0 T imaging offer a new perspective in providing additional information in breast abnormalities. We conducted an expert literature review on the value of breast MRI in diagnosing and staging breast cancer, as well as the future potentials of new MRI technologies.Gisela LG Menezes Floor M Knuttel Bertine L Stehouwer Ruud M Pijnappel Maurice AAJ van den Bosch 2014World Journal of Clinical Oncology2014,5,2:25
3Evaluation of inflammatory activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis显示文摘Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis evolve with a relapsing and remitting course.Determination of inflammatory state is crucial for the assessment of disease activity and for tailoring therapy.However,no simple diagnostic test for monitoring intestinal inflammation is available.Noninvasive markers give only indirect assessments of disease activity.Histopathological or endoscopical examinations accurately assess inflammatory activity,but they are invasive,time consuming and expensive and therefore are unsuitable for routine use.Imaging procedures are not applicable for ulcerative colitis.The usefulness of ultrasound and Doppler imag-ing in assessing disease activity is still a matter of discussion for Crohn's disease,and an increased interest in computed tomography enterograph (CTE) has been seen,mainly because it can delineate the extent and severity of bowel wall inflammation,besides detecting extraluminal findings.Until now,the available data concerning the accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography in detecting disease activity is less than CTE.Due to this,clinical activity indices are still commonly used for both diseases.Eduardo Garcia Vilela Henrique Osvaldo da Gama Torres Fabiana Paiva Martins Maria de Lourdes de Abreu Ferrari Marcella Menezes Andrade Aloísio Sales da Cunha 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,9:23
4Radiofrequency ablation for treatment of hypersplenism: A feasible therapeutic option显示文摘We present a case of a patient with hypersplenism secondary to portal hypertension due to hepato-splenic schistosomiasis, which was accompanied by severe and refractory thrombocytopenia. We performed spleen ablation and measured the total spleen and ablated volumes with contrast-enhanced computed tomography and volumetry. No major complications occurred, thrombocytopenia was resolved, and platelet levels remained stable, which allowed for early treatment of the patient's underlying disease. Previous work has shown that splenic radiofrequency ablation is an attractive alternative treatment for hypersplenism induced by liver cirrhosis. We aimed to contribute to the currently sparse literature evaluating the role of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) in the management of hypersplenism. We conclude that splenic RFA appears to be a viable and promising option for the treatment of hypersplenism.Guilherme Lopes P Martins Joao Paulo G Bernardes Marcello S Rovella Raphael G Andrade Publio Cesar C Viana Paulo Herman Giovanni Guido Cerri Marcos Roberto Menezes 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,20:17
5Bartter's syndrome:clinical findings,genetic causes and therapeutic approach显示文摘Backgound Bartter's syndrome(BS)is a rare group of salt losing tubulopathies due to the impairment of transport mecha-nisms at the thick ascending limb of the Henle's loop.Data sources Literature reviews and original research articles were collected from database,including PubMed and Scopus.Results According to the time of onset and symptoms,BS can be classified into antenatal and classic BS.Molecular studies have identified different subtypes of BS.BS types Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ are caused by mutations on genes encoding the luminal Na^(+)-K^(+)-2Cl^(-) co-transporter,the luminal K+ channel ROMK,and the basolateral chloride channel ClC-Kb(CLCNKB),respectively.Loss-of-function mutations of Barttin CLCNK type accessory beta subunit cause BS type Ⅳa.Simultaneous mutations of CLCNKB and CLCNKA cause BS type Ⅳb.BS type Ⅴ consists in a novel transient form characterized by antenatal presentation due to mutations in the MAGE family member D2.Severe gain-of-function mutations of the extracellular calcium sensing receptor gene can result in an autosomal dominant condition of BS.Main clinical and biochemical alterations in BS include polyuria,dehydration,hypokalemia,hypochloremic metabolic alka-losis,hyperreninemia,high levels of prostaglandins,normal or low blood pressure,hypercalciuria and failure to thrive.Treatment focuses mainly at correcting dehydration and electrolyte disturbances and in measures to reduce polyuria,including the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to control excessive renal prostaglandin E2 production.Conclusions Early diagnosis and treatment of BS may prevent long-term consequences such as growth failure,nephrocal-cinosis and end-stage renal disease.Flavia Cristina Carvalho Mrad Sílvia Bouissou Morais Soares Luiz Alberto Wanderley de Menezes Silva Pedro Versiani dos Anjos Menezes Ana Cristina Simoes-e-Silva 2021World Journal of Pediatrics2021,17,1:10
6Exercise training in hypertension:Role of microRNAs显示文摘Hypertension is a complex disease that constitutes an important public health problem and demands many studies in order to understand the molecular mechanisms involving his pathophysiology. Therefore, an increasing number of studies have been conducted and new therapies are continually being discovered. In this context, exercise training has emerged as an important non-pharmacological therapy to treat hypertensive patients, minimizing the side effects of pharmacological therapies and frequently contributing to allow pharmacotherapy to be suspended. Several mechanisms have been associated with the pathogenesis of hypertension, such as hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system and renin-angiotensin aldosterone system,impaired endothelial nitric oxide production, increased oxygen-reactive species, vascular thickening and stiffening, cardiac hypertrophy, impaired angiogenesis, and sometimes genetic predisposition. With the advent of microRNAs(miRNAs), new insights have been added to the perspectives for the treatment of this disease, and exercise training has been shown to be able to modulate the miRNAs associated with it. Elucidation of the relationship between exercise training and miRNAs in the pathogenesis of hypertension is fundamental in order to understand how exercise modulates the cardiovascular system at genetic level. This can be promising even for the development of new drugs. This article is a review of how exercise training acts on hypertension by means of specific miRNAs in the heart, vascular system, and skeletal muscle.Vander Josédas Neves Tiago Fernandes Fernanda Roberta Roque Ursula Paula RenóSoci Stéphano Freitas Soares Melo Edilamar Menezes de Oliveira 2014World Journal of Cardiology2014,6,8:9
7What exists beyond cag A and vacA? Helicobacter pylori genes in gastric diseases显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection is present in more than half the world's population and has been associated with several gastric disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulceration, and gastric adenocarcinoma.The clinical outcome of this infection depends on host and bacterial factors where H. pylori virulence genes seem to play a relevant role. Studies of cag A and vac A genes established that they were determining factors in gastric pathogenesis. However, there are gastric cancer cases that are cag A-negative. Several other virulence genes have been searched for, but these genes remain less well known that cag A and vac A. Thus, this review aimed to establish which genes have been suggested as potentially relevant virulence factors for H. pylori-associated gastrointestinal diseases. We focused on the cag-pathogenicity island, genes with adherence and motility functions, and ice A based on the relevance shown in several studies in the literature.Débora Menezes da Costa Eliane dos Santos Pereira Silvia Helena Barem Rabenhorst 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,37:6
8Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for early hepatocellular carcinoma: Risk factors for survival显示文摘AIM: To evaluate outcomes of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) therapy for early hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and identify survival- and recurrence-related factors. METHODS: Consecutive patients diagnosed with early HCC by computed tomography(CT) or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)(single nodule of ≤ 5 cm, or multi-(up to 3) nodules of ≤ 3 cm each) and who underwent RFA treatment with curative intent between January 2010 and August 2011 at the Instituto do Cancer do Estado de S o Paulo, Brazil were enrolled in the study. RFA of the liver tumors(with 1.0 cm ablative margin) was carried out under CT-fluoro scan and ultrasonic image guidance of the percutaneous ablation probes. Procedure-related complications were recorded. At 1-mo post-RFA and 3-mo intervals thereafter, CT and MRI were performed to assess outcomes of complete response(absence of enhancing tissue at the tumor site) or incomplete response(enhancing tissue remaining at the tumor site). Overall survival and diseasefree survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log rank test or simple Cox regression. The effect of risk factors on survival was assessed by the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS: A total of 38 RFA sessions were performed during the study period on 34 patients(age in years: mean, 63 and range, 49-84). The mean follow-up time was 22 mo(range, 1-33). The study population showed predominance of male sex(76%), less severe liver disease(Child-Pugh A, n = 26; Child-Pugh B, n = 8), and single tumor(65%). The maximum tumor diameters ranged from 10 to 50 mm(median, 26 mm). The initial(immediately post-procedure) rate of RFAinduced complete tumor necrosis was 90%. The probability of achieving complete response was significantly greater in patients with a single nodule(vs patients with multi-nodules, P = 0.04). Two patients experienced major complications, including acute pulmonary edema(resolved with intervention) and intestinal perforation(led to death). The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 82% and 71%, respectively. Sex, tumor size, initial response, and recurrence status influenced survival, but did not reach the threshold of statistical significance. Child-Pugh class and the model for end-stage liver disease score were identified as predictors of survival by simple Cox regression, but only Child-Pugh class showed a statistically significant association to survival in multiple Cox regression analysis(HR = 15; 95%CI: 3-76 mo; P = 0.001). The 1-and 2-year cumulative disease-free survival rates were 65% and 36%, respectively. CONCLUSION: RFA is an effective therapy for local tumor control of early HCC, and patients with preserved liver function are the best candidates.Luciana Kikuchi Marcos Menezes Aline L Chagas Claudia M Tani Regiane SSM Alencar Marcio A Diniz Venncio AF Alves Luiz Augusto Carneiro D’Albuquerque Flair José Carrilho 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,6:5
9Islet amyloid polypeptide & amyloid beta peptide roles in Alzheimer’s disease:two triggers, one disease显示文摘Alzheimer’s disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions worldwide.Due to population ageing,the incidence of AD is increasing.AD patients develop cognitive decline and dementia,features for which is known,requiring permanent care.This poses a major socio-economic burden on healthcare systems as AD patients’relatives and healthcare workers are forced to cope with rising numbers of affected people.Despite recent advances,AD pathological mechanisms are not fully understood.Nevertheless,it is clear that the amyloid beta(Aβ)peptide,which forms amyloid plaques in AD patients’brains,plays a key role.Type 2 diabetes,the most common form of diabetes,affects hundreds of million people globally.Islet amyloid polypeptide(IAPP)is a hormone coproduced and secreted with insulin in pancreatic β-cells,with a key role in diabetes,as it helps regulate glucose levels and control adiposity and satiation.Similarly to Aβ,IAPP is very amyloidogenic,generating intracellular amyloid deposits that causeβ-cell dysfunction and death.It is now clear that IAPP can also have a pathological role in AD,decreasing cognitive function.IAPP harms the blood-brain barrier,directly interacts and co-deposits with Aβ,promoting diabetes-associated dementia.IAPP can cause a metabolic dysfunction in the brain,leading to other diabetes-related forms of AD.Thus,here we discuss IAPP association with diabetes,Aβand dementia,in the context of what we designate a“diabetes brain phenotype”AD hypothesis.Such approach helps to set a conceptual framework for future IAPP-based drugs against AD.Sofia Ferreira Ana F.Raimundo Regina Menezes Ivo C.Martins 2021Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,6:4
10Autoimmune hepatitis in childhood: The role of genetic and immune factors显示文摘Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the liver, which affects a group of patients who lost their immunological tolerance to antigens of the liver. It is clinically characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated liver enzymes, presence of autoantibodies and histological changes. Although being rare in children, it represents a serious cause of chronic hepatic disease that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. Clinical findings, exclusion of more common liver disorders and the detection of antibodies antinuclear antibodies, smooth muscle antibodies and anti-LKM1 are usually enough for diagnosis on clinical practice. The pathogenic mechanisms that lead to AIH remain obscure, but some research findings suggest the participation of immunologic and genetic factors. It is not yet knew the triggering factor or factors that stimulate inflammatory response. Several mechanisms proposed partially explain the immunologic findings of AIH. The knowledge of immune factors evolved might result in better markers of prognosis and response to treatment. In this review, we aim to evaluate the findings of research about genetic and immune markers and their perspectives of application in clinical practice especially in pediatric population.Priscila Menezes Ferri Liu Débora Marques de Miranda Eleonora Druve Tavares Fagundes Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira Ana Cristina Simoes e Silva 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,28:3
11Conservative strategy for treatment of stable coronary artery disease显示文摘Patients with coronary artery disease vary widely in terms of prognosis, which is mainly dependent on ventricular function. In relation to the major outcomes of death and myocardial infarction, it is not clear in the literature if an invasive strategy of myocardial revascularization is superior to a conservative strategy of optimized medical therapy. Moreover, with the exception of patients with left main coronary disease, this similarity in prognosis also occurs in different subgroups of patients.Paulo Cury Rezende Thiago Luis Scudeler Leandro Menezes Alves da Costa Whady Hueb 2015World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,2:3
12Diagnostic criteria for autoimmune hepatitis in children: A challenge for pediatric hepatologists显示文摘Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive inflammatory liver disorder that is rare in children and adolescents. AIH has a broad clinical spectrum and a quick response to treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medication. The available diagnosis criteria have limitations and should be evaluated in pediatric populations. Recently, some studies reported that the 2008 simplified diagnostic criteria for AIH could be used in children with high sensibility and specificity. In addition, the authors reported that globulin and immunoglobulin G levels can be used interchangeably for diagnostic purposes. They also demonstrated that the 2008 simplified criteria fail in identifying patients with fulminant hepatic failure. Here, we discuss the limitations of the use of these criteria in pediatric patients and the requirement of more studies to improve the diagnosis of AIH in children.Priscila Menezes Ferri Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira Débora Marques Miranda Ana Cristina Sim■es e Silva 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,33:3
13Seroprevalence of syphilis in patients attending a tertiary care hospital in Southern India显示文摘Objective:To report our experience with two tests,anti-cardiolipin antibody test[venereal disease reasearch laboratory(VDRL) test]and specific treponemal test(Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay),used for screening antenatal,high risk cases and cases from sexually transmitted infection in a tertiary care hospital from January 2006 till December 2008.Methods:A total of 14639 samples received from various patient groups including antenatal cases,patients attending sexually transmitted disease(STD) clinic,blood donors and HIV positive patients were screened.Results:Among the 14639 samples collected,103 were positive by VDRL test.Of these 89 cases were confirmed by quantitative VDRL test and Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay.The cumulative seroprevalence over two years was found to be 0.61%in this study.The syphilis seroprevalence reduced from 0.88%in 2006 to 0.40%in 2008.Among the various sub-populations studied,patients attending the sexually transmitted infection clinic showed a seroprevalence of 2.62%.The seroprevalence decreased significantly from 4.00%in 2006 to1.39%in 2008.Conclusions:Our study showed a statistically significant declining rate of syphilis in STD clinics as well as the overall seroprevalence.These findings could be interpreted as indicators of improved programmes for prevention and management of STDs.Sadia Khan Godfred Antony Menezes Rahul Dhodapkar Belgode Narasimha Harish 2014Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine2014,4,12:2
14Glial fibrillary acidic protein levels are associated with global histone H4 acetylation after spinal cord injury in rats显示文摘Emerging evidence has suggested global histone H4 acetylation status plays an important role in neural plasticity. For instance, the imbalance of this epigenetic marker has been hypothesized as a key factor for the development and progression of several neurological diseases. Likewise, astrocytic reactivity-a wellknown process that markedly influences the tissue remodeling after a central nervous system injury-is crucial for tissue remodeling after spinal cord injury(SCI). However, the linkage between the above-mentioned mechanisms after SCI remains poorly understood. We sought to investigate the relation between both glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) and S100 calcium-binding protein B(S100B)(astrocytic reactivity classical markers) and global histone H4 acetylation levels. Sixty-one male Wistar rats(aged ~3 months) were divided into the following groups: sham; 6 hours post-SCI; 24 hours post-SCI; 48 hours post-SCI; 72 hours post-SCI; and 7 days post-SCI. The results suggested that GFAP, but not S100B was associated with global histone H4 acetylation levels. Moreover, global histone H4 acetylation levels exhibited a complex pattern after SCI, encompassing at least three clearly defined phases(first phase: no changes in the 6, 24 and 48 hours post-SCI groups; second phase: increased levels in the 72 hours post-SCI group; and a third phase: return to levels similar to control in the 7 days post-SCI group). Overall, these findings suggest global H4 acetylation levels exhibit distinct patterns of expression during the first week post-SCI, which may be associated with GFAP levels in the perilesional tissue. Current data encourage studies using H4 acetylation as a possible biomarker for tissue remodeling after spinal cord injury.Mayara Ferraz de Menezes Fabricio Nicola Ivy Reichert Vital da Silva Adriana Vizuete Viviane Rostirola Eisner Leder Leal Xavier Carlos Alberto Saraiva Goncalves Carlos Alexandre Netto Regis Gemerasca Mestriner 2018Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,11:2

18Refinery production scheduling toward Industry 4.0显示文摘Understanding the holistic relationship between refinery production scheduling(RPS) and the cyber-physical production environment with smart scheduling is a new question posed in the study of process systems engineering. Here, we discuss state-of-the-art RSPs in the crude-oil refining field and present examples that illustrate how smart scheduling can impact operations in the high-performing chemical process industry. We conclude that, more than any traditional off-the-shelf RPS solution available today, flexible and integrative specialized modeling platforms will be increasingly necessary to perform decentralized and collaborative optimizations,since they are the technological alternatives closer to the advanced manufacturing philosophy.Marcel JOLY Darci ODLOAK Mario Y.

19The occlusal plane in the facial context:inter-operator repeatability of a new three-dimensional method显示文摘The repeatability of a non-invasive digital protocol proposed to evaluate the three-dimensional(3D) position of the occlusal plane in the face is assessed.Dental virtual models and soft tissue facial morphology of 20 adult subjects were digitally integrated using a 3D stereophotogrammetric imaging system.The digital 3D coordinates of facial and dental landmarks were obtained by two different operators.Camper's(facial) and occlusal(dental) planes were individuated,and their 3D relationships were measured.The repeatability of the protocol was investigated and showed no significant differences in repeated digitizations.The angle between occlusal and Camper's planes was smaller than 26 in the frontal and horizontal projections.In the sagittal projection,the angle was observed to be,on average,4.9 6.The determined occlusal plane pitch,roll and yaw values show good agreement with previously published data obtained by different protocols.The current non-invasive method was repeatable,without inter-operator differences and can facilitate assessment of healthy subjects.Riccardo Rosati Alberto Rossetti Marcio De Menezes Virgilio F Ferrario Chiarella Sforza 2012International Journal of Oral Science2012,4,1:2
20Effect of climate and altitude on plant community composition and richness in Brazilian inselbergs显示文摘Plant communities are shaped by multiple factors along environmental gradients;however,studies are limited on how environmental filtering drives community composition and species richness on tropical inselbergs.We evaluate the influence of altitude and climatic variables related to temperature and precipitation on plant community composition and species richness on Brazilian inselbergs.We assume as a premise that both climate and altitude would induce changes on plant community composition and species richness at the local level.We used plant inventory data from 370 sampling units across four inselberg sites in the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo State,south-eastern Brazil.We tested the univariate and multivariate effects of altitude and climate variables on community composition and species richness with multiple models.Differences in species richness between inselbergs were evaluated using sample-based data to estimate rarefaction and extrapolation curves.In addition,differences in species composition and taxonomic beta diversity were examined via novel frequency-based metrics.A contrasting climate pattern was observed between the inselberg sites,with south sites being wet compared to the dry conditions found in northern sites.Species richness by rarefaction showed a similar pattern within regional sites;however,there were marked differences between regions.Species richness and beta diversity showed significant differences among sites,with higher values in southern sites than in northern sites.In a multi-model comparison between inselberg sites,altitude significantly influenced community composition and species richness and explained more variance than climate models.This finding suggested that climate could act to some extent on these tropical inselbergs;however,altitude was a better predictor of plant community composition and species richness at the local level.Herval Vieira PINTO-JUNIOR Pedro Manuel VILLA Luis Fernando Tavares de MENEZES Miriam Cristina Alvarez PEREIRA 2020Journal of Mountain Science2020,17,8:2
