| 1 | Drug-induced liver injury:Is it somehow foreseeable?显示文摘The classic view on the pathogenesis of drug-induced liver injury is that the so-called parent compounds are made hepatotoxic by metabolism (formation of neosubstances that react abnormally), mainly by cytochromes P-450 (CYP), with further pathways, such as mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, also playing a role. Risk factors for drug-induced liver injury include concomitant hepatic diseases, age and genetic polymorphisms of CYP. However, some susceptibility can today be predicted before drug administration, working on the common substrate, by phenotyping and genotyping studies and by taking in consideration patients' health status. Physicians should always think of this adverse effect in the absence of other clear hepatic disease. Ethical and legal problems towards operators in the health care system are always matters to consider. | Giovanni Tarantino Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Domenico Capone | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,23: | 30 |
| 2 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in differentiating malignant from benign portal vein thrombosis in hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Portal vein thrombosis(PVT) may occur in liver cirrhosis patients. Malignant PVT is a common complication in cirrhotic patients with concomitant hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and, in some cases, it may be even the initial sign of an undetected HCC. Detection of malignant PVT in a patient with liver cirrhosis heavily affects the therapeutic strategy. Gray-scale ultrasound(US) is widely unreliable for differentiating benign and malignant thrombi. Although effective for this differential diagnosis, fine-needle biopsy remains an invasive technique. Sensitivity of color-doppler US in detection of malignant thrombi is highly dependent on the size of the thrombus. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance(MRI) can be useful to assess the nature of portal thrombus, while limited data are currently available about the role of positron emission tomography(PET) and PET-CT. In contrast with CT, MRI, PET, and PET-CT, contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) is a fast, effective, well tolerated and cheap technique, that can be performed even in the same session in which the thrombus has been detected. CEUS can be performed bedside and can be available also in transplanted patients. Moreover, CT and MRI only yield a snapshot analysis during contrast diffusion, while CEUS allows for a continuous real-time imaging of the microcirculation that lasts several minutes, so that the whole arterial phase and the late parenchymal phase of the contrast diffusion can be analyzed continuously by real-time US scanning. Continuous real-time monitoring of contrast diffusion entails an easy detection of thrombus maximum enhancement. Moreover, continuous quantitative analyses of enhancement(wash in- wash out studies) by CEUS during contrast diffusion is nowadays available in most CEUS machines, thus giving a more sophisticated and accurate evaluation of the contrast distribution and an increased confidence in diagnosis in difficult cases. In conclusion, CEUS is avery reliable technique with a high intrinsic sensitivity for portal vein patency assessment. More expensive and sophisticated techniques(i.e., CT, MRI, PET, and PET-CT) should only be indicated in undetermined cases at CEUS. | Luciano Tarantino Pasquale Ambrosino Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,32: | 18 |
| 3 | Computed tomography findings of pneumatosis and portomesenteric venous gas in acute bowel ischemia显示文摘AIM:To use more representative sample size to evaluate whether computed tomography(CT)scan evidence of the concomitant presence of pneumatosis and portomesenteric venous gas is a predictor of transmural bowel necrosis.METHODS:Data from 208 patients who were referred for a diagnosis of bowel ischemia were retrospectively reviewed.Only patients who underwent a surgical intervention following a diagnosis of bowel ischemia who also had a post-operative histological confirmation of such a diagnosis were included.Patients were split into two groups according to the presence of histological evidence of transmural bowel ischemia(case group)or partial bowel ischemia(control group).CT images were reviewed for findings of ischemia,including mural thickening,pneumatosis,bowel distension,portomesenteric venous gas and arterial or venous thrombi.RESULTS:A total of 248 subjects who underwent surgery for bowel ischemia were identified.Among the208 subjects enrolled in our study,transmural bowel necrosis was identified in 121 subjects(case group),and partial bowel necrosis was identified in 87 subjects(control group).Based on CT findings,including mural thickening,bowel distension,pneumatosis,pneumatosis plus portomesenteric venous gas and presence of thrombi or emboli,there were no significant differences between the case and control groups.The concomitant presence of pneumatosis and porto-mesenteric venous gas showed an odds ratio of 1.95(95%CI:0.491-7.775,P=0.342)for the presence of transmural necrosis.The presence of pneumatosis plus porto-mesenteric venous gas exhibited good specificity(83%)but low sensitivity(17%)in the identification of transmural bowel infarction.Accordingly,the positive and negative predictive values were 60% and 17%,respectively.CONCLUSION:Although pneumatosis plus porto-mesenteric venous gas is associated with bowel ischemia,we have demonstrated that their co-occurrence cannot be used as diagnostic signs of transmural necrosis. | Marco Milone Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Mario Musella Paola Maietta Vittorio Iaccarino Giovanni Barone Francesco Milone | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,39: | 15 |
| 4 | Percutaneous electrochemotherapy in the treatment of portal vein tumor thrombosis at hepatic hilum in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis: A feasibility study显示文摘AIM To treated with electrochemotherapy(ECT) a prospective case series of patients with liver cirrhosis and Vp3-Vp4- portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT) from hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), in order to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of this new non thermal ablative technique in those patients. METHODS Six patients(5 males and 1 female), aged 61-85 years(mean age, 70 years), four in Child-Pugh A and two in Child-Pugh B class, entered our study series. All patients were studied with three-phase computed tomography(CT), contrast enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) and ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of the thrombus before ECT. All patients underwent ECT treatment(Cliniporator Vitae?, IGEA Sp A, Carpi, Modena, Italy) of Vp3-Vp4 PVTT in a single session. At the end of the procedure a post-treatment biopsy of the thrombus was performed. Scheduled follow-up in all patients entailed: CEUS within 24 h after treatment; triphasic contrastenhanced CT and CEUS at 3 mo after treatment and every six months thereafter.RESULTS Post-treatment CEUS showed complete absence of enhancement of the treated thrombus in all cases. Post-treatment biopsy showed apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells in all cases. The follow-up ranged from 9 to 20 mo(median, 14 mo). In 2 patients, the followup CT and CEUS demonstrated complete patency of the treated portal vein. Other 3 patients showed a persistent avascular non-tumoral shrinked thrombus at CEUS and CT during follow-up. No local recurrence was observed at follow-up CT and CEUS in 5/6 patients. One patient was lost to follow-up because of death from gastrointestinal hemorrage 5 wk after ECT. CONCLUSION In patients with cirrhosis, ECT seems effective and safe for curative treatment of Vp3-Vp4 PVTT from HCC. | Luciano Tarantino Giuseppina Busto Aurelio Nasto Raffaele Fristachi Luigi Cacace Maria Talamo Catello Accardo Sara Bortone Paolo Gallo Paolo Tarantino Riccardo Aurelio Nasto Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Pasquale Ambrosino | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,5: | 7 |
| 5 | High prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism显示文摘AIM:To assess the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHODS:In a case-control study,after excluding subjects with well-consolidated risk factors for VTE,idiopathic VTE was documented in 138 consecutive patients who were referred to our department. Two hundred and seventy-six healthy sex/age/body-massindex-matched subjects,without any clinical/instrumental evidence of VTE,served as controls. All underwent a clinical/laboratory/ultrasound assessment for the presence of metabolic syndrome and NAFLD. RESULTS:NAFLD was detected in 112/138 cases (81%) and in 84/276 controls (30%) [risk ratio:2.7,95% confidence interval (CI):2.2-3.2,P < 0.0001]. Metabolic syndrome and smoking habit were more prevalent in patients with idiopathic VTE. The high prevalence of NAFLD in VTE was also confirmed after adjustment for inherited thrombophilia. NAFLD was clearly predicted by VTE (odds ratio:1.8,95% CI:1.2-2.7,P < 0.0001). | Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Antonella Tufano Anna Rusolillo Giovanni Di Minno Giovanni Tarantino | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,48: | 5 |
| 6 | Omega-3 fatty acids for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) has been recognized as a major health burden.It is the most important cause of chronic liver disease and a major independent cardiovascular risk factor.Lacking a definite treatment for NAFLD,a specific diet and an increase in physical activity represent the most commonly used therapeutic approaches.In this review,major literature data about the use of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids(n-3 PUFAs) as a potential treatment of NAFLD have been described.n-3 PUFAs,besides having a beneficial impact on most of the cardio-metabolic risk factors(hypertension,hyperlipidemia,endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis) by regulating gene transcription factors [i.e.,peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR),PPAR,sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1,carbohydrate responsive element-binding protein],impacts both lipid metabolism and on insulin sensitivity.In addition to an enhancement of hepatic beta oxidation and a decrease of the endogenous lipid production,n-3 PUFAs are able to determine a significant reduction of the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules(tumor necrosis factor-and interleukin-6) and of oxygen reactive species.Further strengthening the results of the in vitro studies,both animal models and human intervention trials,showed a beneficial effect of n-3 PUFAs on the severity of NAFLD as expressed by laboratory parameters and imaging measurements.Despite available results provided encouraging data about the efficacy of n-3 PUFAs as a treatment of NAFLD in humans,welldesigned randomized controlled trials of adequate size and duration,with histological endpoints,are needed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of PUFA,as well as other therapies,for the treatment of NAFLD and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis patients.It is worthwhile to consider that n-3 PUFAs cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be derived from exogenous sources(fish oil,flaxseeds,olive oil) which are typical foods of the Mediterranean diet,known for its beneficial effects in preventing obesity,diabetes and,in turn,cardiovascular events.According to these data,it is important to consider that most of the beneficial effects of n-3 PUFAs can also be obtained by an equilibrate nutrition program. | Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Anna Russolillo Roberta Lupoli Pasquale Ambrosino Alessandro Di Minno Giovanni Tarantino | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,41: | 4 |
| 7 | What does irritable bowel syndrome share with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?显示文摘Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)are two very common diseases in the general population.To date,there are no studies that highlight a direct link between NAFLD and IBS,but some recent reports have found an interesting correlation between obesity and IBS.A systematic PubMed database search was conducted highlighting that common mechanisms are involved in many of the local and systemic manifestations of NAFLD,leading to an increased cardiovascular risk,and IBS,leading to microbial dysbiosis,impaired intestinal barrier and altered intestinal motility.It is not known when considering local and systemic inflammation/immune system activation,which one has greater importance in NAFLD and IBS pathogenesis.Also,the nervous system is implicated.In fact,inflammation participates in the development of mood disorders,such as anxiety and depression,characteristics of obesity and consequently of NAFLD and,on the other hand,in intestinal hypersensitivity and dysmotility. | Antonella Scalera Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Giovanni Tarantino | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,33: | 3 |
| 8 | Bariatric surgery and diabetes remission: Sleeve gastrectomy or mini-gastric bypass?显示文摘AIM:To investigate the weight loss and glycemic control status[blood glucose,hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)and hypoglycaemic treatment].METHODS:The primary risk factor for type 2 diabetes is obesity,and 90%of all patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese.Although a remarkable effect of bariatric surgery is the profound and durable resolution of type 2 diabetes clinical manifestations,little is known about the difference among various weight loss surgical procedures on diabetes remission.Data from patients referred during a 3-year period(from January2009 to December 2011)to the University of Naples'FedericoⅡ'diagnosed with obesity and diabetes were retrieved from a prospective database.The patients were split into two groups according to the surgical intervention performed[sleeve gastrectomy(SG)and mini-gastric bypass(MGB)].Weight loss and glycemic control status(blood glucose,HbA1c and hypoglycaemic treatment)were evaluated.RESULTS:A total of 53 subjects who underwent sleeve gastrectomy or mini-gastric bypass for obesity and diabetes were screened for the inclusion in this study.Of these,4 subjects were excluded because of surgical complications,7 subjects were omitted because young surgeons conducted the operations and 11 subjects were removed because of the lack of follow-up.Thirtyone obese patients were recruited for this study.A total of 15 subjects underwent SG(48.4%),and 16underwent MGB(51.6%).After adjusting for various clinical and demographic characteristics in a multivariate logistic regression analysis,high hemoglobin A1c was determined to be a negative predictor of diabetes remission at 12 mo(OR=0.366,95%CI:0.152-0.884).Using the same regression model,MGB showed a clear trend toward higher diabetes remission rates relative to SG(OR=3.780,95%CI:0.961-14.872).CONCLUSION:Although our results are encouraging regarding the effectiveness of mini-gastric bypass on diabetes remission,further studies are needed to provide definitive conclusions in selecting the ideal procedure for diabetes remission. | Marco Milone Matteo Nicola Dario Di Minno Maddalena Leongito Paola Maietta Paolo Bianco Caterina Taffuri Dario Gaudioso Roberta Lupoli Silvia Savastano Francesco Milone Mario Musella | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,39: | 3 |
| 9 | Drug-induced liver injury due to “natural products” used for weight loss:A case report显示文摘Taking herbal-extracts to lose weight is an underestimated health hazard.Often,these products contain active agents that can cause acute liver damage.In this case report,a 22-year-old female patient,who presented with a feature of cholestatic syndrome,was so sure that the 'natural products' were not dangerous that she did not inform her physicians that she had taken them,making their task that much more challenging.Clinical presentation mimicked acute cholecystitis and the patient underwent a cholecystectomy.Surgery was without any consequences and complications,although it did not completely cure the illness.She later admitted to having taken herbal remedies and this led to the correct diagnosis of phytotherapy-related hepatotoxicity and a successful therapeutic approach.The true incidence of phytotherapy-related hepatotoxicity and its pathogenic mechanisms are largely unknown.It is important to increase the awareness of both clinicians and patients about the potential dangers of herbal remedies. | Giovanni Tarantino Martina Gilda Pezzullo Matteo Nicola Dario di Minno Francesco Milone Luigi Sossio Pezzullo Marco Milone Domenico Capone | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,19: | 2 |
