| 1 | 极高强度他汀治疗对冠状动脉粥样硬化消退的影响——ASTEROID试验显示文摘背景:以前的血管内超声(intravascular ultrasound,IVUS)试验证实,他汀治疗可减缓或阻止动脉粥样硬化的进展,但是迄今尚无应用动脉粥样斑块体积百分比(percent atheroma volume,PAV)证实粥样硬化消退的确切证据。PAV是最严格的评价病变进展和消退的IVUS测量指标。
目标:评价极高强度他汀治疗是否能逆转IVUS确定的冠状动脉粥样硬化。
设计和地点:于美国、加拿大、欧洲和澳大利亚53个社区和3级保健中心进行前瞻性开标盲法终点试验(A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Rosuvastatin on Intravascular Ultrasound-Derived Coronary Atheroma Burden,ASTEROID)。应用马达驱动回撤IVUS评价基线和治疗24个月时冠状动脉粥样斑块负荷。每对基线和随访IVUS测量结果均进行盲法分析。
病例:从2002年11月到2003年10月,507例患者有基线IVUS检查结果,并接受至少1个剂量的研究药物。在24个月后,349例患者具有可用于评估的系列IVUS检查结果。
干预:所有患者均接受瑞舒伐他汀40ms/d强化治疗。
主要观测指标:预先设定了两个一级疗效指标:PAV变化和基线最严重病变10min节段动脉粥样斑块体积变化。二级疗效指标为整个动脉标准化总斑块体积的变化。结果:平均(SD)LDL—C水平由基线时的130.4(34.3)ms/dL降至60.8(20.0)ms/扎,平均下降了53.2%(P〈0.001)。平均(SD)HDL-C水平从基线时的43.1(11.1)ms/dL升至49.0(12.6)ms/dL,平均增加了14.7%(P〈0.001)。整个血管PAV平均(SD)变化为-0.98%(3.15%),中位数为-0.79%(97.5%CI,-1.21%~-0.53%)(与基线比较,P〈0.001)。最严重病变10min节段斑块体积平均(SD)变化为-6.1(10.1)mm^3,中位数为-5.6mm^3(97.5%CI,-6.8~-4.0mm^3)(与基线比较,P〈0.001)。总斑块体积变化中位数降低了6.8%,平均减少了-14.7(25.7)mm^3,中位数为-12.5mm^3(95%CI,-15.1~-10.5mm^3)(与基线比较,P〈0.001)。不良事件少见,与其他他汀试验相似。
结论:应用瑞舒伐他汀40ms/d进行极高强度他汀治疗可使LDL-C平均水平达到60.8ms/dL,使HDL—C增加14.7%。这导致所有3个预先设定的IVUS斑块负荷指标均显示动脉粥样硬化消退。因此,将LDL-C降至低于目前指南规定的水平,同时显著提高HDL-C,可以使冠心病患者动脉粥样硬化斑块消退。这些变化对临床预后的影响尚需进一步研究确定。 | Steven E.

| 2 | 他汀、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇与冠状动脉粥样硬化消退显示文摘背景:他汀类药物可以降低低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(low—density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL—C)水平并减缓冠状动脉粥样硬化的进展。然而,对于他汀类药物所致高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(high—density lipoprotein cholesterol,HDL—C)变化与疾病进展的关系,目前仍无相关数据描述。目的:了解LDL—C和HDL—C水平变化与动脉粥样硬化的相互关系。设计、地点及患者:对4项前瞻性随机试验(1999~2005年在美国、北美、欧洲和澳大利亚进行)的原始数据进行事后分析。其中1455例经血管造影证实的冠心病患者在接受他汀治疗(18个月或24个月)时进行了系列血管内超声扫描。所有超声分析均在相同的核心实验室中进行。主要观测指标:脂蛋白水平变化与冠状动脉粥样斑块体积的相互关系。结果:他汀治疗期间,LDL—C平均(SD)水平从124.0(38.3)mg,/dL(3.2[0.99]mmol/L)降至87.5(28.8)mg,/dL(2.3[0.75]mmol/L)(下降23.5%;P〈0.001),HDL—C水平从42.5(11.0)mg/dL(1.1[0.28]mmol/L)升至45.1(11.4)mg/dL(1.2[0.29]mmol/L)(上升7.5%;P〈0.001)。LDL—C与HDL—C比值从平均(SD)3.0(1.1)降至2.1(0.9)(下降26.7%;P〈0.001)。这些变化同时伴随平均(SD)百分粥样斑块体积的增加(从39.7%[9.8%]增至40.1%[9.7%])(增加0.5%[3.9%];P=0.001)以及平均(SD)总粥样斑块体积的减小(2.4[23.6]mm^3;P〈0.001)。在单变量分析中,LDL—C、总胆固醇、非HDL胆固醇、载脂蛋白B以及载脂蛋白B与载脂蛋白A-1比值平均水平和治疗引起的变化与动脉粥样硬化进展速率显著相关,而治疗所致HDL—C变化则与动脉粥样斑块体积负相关。在多变量分析中,平均LDL—C水平(β系数,0.11[95%可信区间,0.07~0.15])以及HDL—C升高(β系数,-0.26[95%可信区间,-0.41--0.10])依然为动脉粥样硬化消退的独立预测因子。动脉硬化显著消退(动脉粥样斑块体积减少≥5%)见于治疗期间LDL—C水平低于均值(87.5mg/dL)和HDL—C升高百分比大于均值(7.5%;P〈0.001)的患者。临床事件的发生未见显著差异。结论:在LDL—C显著降低以及HDL上升〉7.5%时,他汀治疗与冠状动脉粥样硬化消退相关。这些结果提示他汀治疗的获益源自致动脉粥样硬化脂蛋白的降低以及HDL.C的升高。尽管血脂水平的这些变化与动脉粥样硬化消退相关,但是后者是否可以转化为临床事件的显著减少,并改善临床预后仍有待进一步研究确定。 | Stephen J.

| 3 | Review of magnesium-based biomaterials and their applications显示文摘In biomedical applications,the conventionally used metallic materials,including stainless steel,Co-based alloys and Ti alloys,often times exhibit unsatisfactory results such as stress shielding and metal ion releases.Secondary surgical operation(s)usually become inevitable to prevent long term exposure of body with the toxic implant contents.The metallic biomaterials are being revolutionized with the development of biodegradable materials including several metals,alloys,and metallic glasses.As such,the nature of metallic biomaterials are transformed from the bioinert to bioactive and multi-biofunctional(anti-bacterial,anti-proliferation,anti-cancer,etc.).Magnesium-based biomaterials are candidates to be used as new generation biodegradable metals.Magnesium(Mg)can dissolve in body fluid that means the implanted Mg can degrade during healing process,and if the degradation is controlled it would leave no debris after the completion of healing.Hence,the need for secondary surgical operation(s)for the implant removal could be eliminated.Besides its biocompatibility,the inherent mechanical properties of Mg are very similar to those of human bone.Researchers have been working on synthesis and characterization of Mg-based biomaterials with a variety of composition in order to control the degradation rate of Mg since uncontrolled degradation could result in loss of mechanical integrity,metal contamination in the body and intolerable hydrogen evolution by tissue.It was observed that the applied methods of synthesis and the choice of components affect the characteristics and performance of the Mg-based biomaterials.Researchers have synthesized many Mg-based materials through several synthesis routes and investigated their mechanical properties,biocompatibility and degradation behavior through in vitro,in vivo and in silico studies.This paper is a comprehensive review that compiles,analyses and critically discusses the recent literature on the important aspects of Mg-based biomaterials. | Nurettin Sezer Zafer Evis Said Murat Kayhan Aydin Tahmasebifar Muammer Koça | 2018 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2018,6,1: | 38 |
| 4 | Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis:A systematic review for prevention and treatment显示文摘BACKGROUND Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is comparatively complex application. Researchers has been investigated prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), since it has been considered to be the most common complication of ERCP. Although ERCP can lead various complications, it can also be avoided. AIM To study the published evidence and systematically review the literature on the prevention and treatment for PEP. METHODS A systematic literature review on the prevention of PEP was conducted using the electronic databases of ISI Web of Science, PubMed and Cochrane Library for relevant articles. The electronic search for the review was performed by using the search terms “Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis” AND “prevention” through different criteria. The search was restricted to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed between January 2009 and February 2019. Duplicate studies were detected by using EndNote and deleted by the author. PRISMA checklist and flow diagram were adopted for evaluation and reporting. The reference lists of the selected papers were also scanned to find other relevant studies. RESULTS 726 studies meeting the search criteria and 4 relevant articles found in the edited books about ERCP were identified. Duplicates and irrelevant studies were excluded by screening titles and abstracts and assessing full texts. 54 studies were evaluated for full text review. Prevention methods were categorized into three groups as (1) assessment of patient related factors;(2) pharmacoprevention;and (3) procedural techniques for prevention. Most of studies in the literature showed that young age, female gender, absence of chronic pancreatitis, suspected Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, recurrent pancreatitis and history of previous PEP played a crucial role in posing high risks for PEP. 37 studies designed to assess the impact of 24 different pharmacologic agents to reduce the development of PEP delivered through various administration methods were reviewed. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used to reduce risks for PEP. Rectal administration of indomethacin immediately prior to or after ERCP in all patients is recommended by European Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines to prevent the development of PEP. The majority of the studies reviewed revealed that rectally administered indomethacin had efficacy to prevent PEP. Results of the other studies on the other pharmacological interventions had both controversial and promising results. Thirteen studies conducted to evaluate the efficacy of 4 distinct procedural techniques to prevent the development of PEP were reviewed. Pancreatic Stent Placement has been frequently used in this sense and has potent and promising benefits in the prevention of PEP. Studies on the other procedural techniques have had inconsistent results. CONCLUSION Prevention of PEP involves multifactorial aspects, including assessment of patients with high risk factors for alternative therapeutic and diagnostic techniques, administration of pharmacological agents and procedural techniques with highly precise results in the literature. | Murat Pekg?z | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,29: | 30 |
| 5 | Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation for malignant biliary obstruction显示文摘BACKGROUND: The cornerstone of palliative treatment for inoperable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the relief of malignant biliary obstruction. The most commonly applied method is endoscopic stenting. However, the procedure can be complicated with stent obstruction. In this respect, endobiliary radiofrequency ablation may serve as an adjunctive tool for prolonging the stent patency. METHODS: Patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for differential diagnosis and/ or palliative treatment after the diagnosis of inoperable extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma between March 2011 and January 2012 were analyzed. Those in whom endobiliary radiofrequency ablation and endoscopic stenting was successfully performed were included in the study. Technical details of the procedure, duration of stent patency, length of hospital stay, short-term morbidity and mortality rate were documented. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were analyzed, and 10 patients were included in the study. The morbidity and mortality rate within the first 30 days after the procedure was 20% and 0%, respectively. In 2 patients, mild pancreatitis occurred because of the endobiliary procedure. In 1 patient, endobiliary decompression could not be achieved, and therefore, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was carried out. The median duration of stent patency in 9 patients with successful biliary decompression was 9 months (range 6-15). CONCLUSION: Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation seems to be safe and feasible as a palliative measure and may prolong the stent patency and overall survival in patients with malignant biliary obstruction due to inoperable extrahepatic cholangio-carcinoma. | Halil Alis Cetin Sengoz Murat Gonenc Mustafa Uygar Kalayci Ali Kocatas | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,4: | 25 |
| 6 | Soluble forms of extracellular cytokeratin 18 may differentiate simple steatosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis显示文摘AIM: To investigate whether serum levels of two soluble forms of extracellular cytokeratin 18 (M30-antigen and M65-antigen) may differentiate nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from simple steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: A total of 83 patients with suspected NAFLD and 49 healthy volunteers were investigated. Patients with suspected NAFLD were classified according to their liver histology into four groups: definitive NASH (n = 45), borderline NASH (n = 24), simple fatty liver (n = 9), and normal tissue (n = 5). Serum levels of caspase-3 generated cytokeratin-18 fragments (M30-antigen) and total cytokeratin-18 (M65-antigen) were determined by ELISA. RESULTS: Levels of M30-antigen and M65-antigen were significantly higher in patients with definitive NASH compared to the other groups. An abnormal value (> 121.60 IU/L) of M30-antigen yielded a 60.0% sensitivity and a 97.4% specificity for the diagnosis of NASH. Sensitivity and specificity of an abnormal M65-antigen level (> 243.82 IU/L) for the diagnosis of NASH were 68.9% and 81.6%, respectively. Among patients with NAFLD, M30-antigen and M65-antigen levels distinguished between advanced fibrosis and early-stage fibrosis with a sensitivity of 64.7% and 70.6%, and a specificity of 77.3% and 71.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Serum levels of M30-antigen and M65-antigen may be of clinical usefulness to identify patients with NASH. Further studies are mandatory to better assess the role of these apoptonecrotic biomarkers in NAFLD pathophysiology. | Yusuf Yilmaz Enver Dolar Engin Ulukaya Semra Akgoz Murat Keskin Murat Kiyici Sibel Aker Arzu Yilmaztepe Selim Gurel Macit Gulten Selim Giray Nak | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,6: | 19 |
| 7 | 考虑残余强度的岩石热损伤统计本构模型研究(英文)显示文摘随着地球浅部矿物资源逐渐枯竭,资源开采不断走向地球深部,模拟深部高温高压条件下岩石应变软化变形破坏行为是岩石力学研究的重要内容。本文基于Lemaitre应变等价性理论,结合统计学和损伤力学,同时引入损伤变量修正系数考虑岩石残余强度对峰后曲线的影响,建立了三轴压缩条件下岩石热力耦合统计损伤本构方程,并通过试验验证模型的合理性。研究结果表明:温度–荷载总损伤演化曲线反映了岩石内部微裂纹闭合、萌生、扩展、贯通、直至出现宏观裂纹的全过程;岩石的热损伤变量随温度的升高呈logistic函数增长;同等应变情况下,损伤变量随围压的升高而减小,通过研究岩石破裂后SEM电镜图片,推断出35.40MPa是花岗岩的脆塑性转换临界围压;模型分布参数F反映了岩石的平均强度,m反映了岩石应力–应变曲线的形态特征。该模型不仅能反映温度、围压对岩石损伤的影响,而且能较好地反映岩石峰后残余强度阶段变形特征,模型参数物理意义明确,适用于复杂应力状态情况,这对于研究深部岩石损伤软化问题具有重要的意义。 | 徐小丽 KARAKUS Murat 高峰 张志镇 | 2018 | Journal of Central South University2018,25,10: | 19 |

| 9 | Is the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio associated with liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B?显示文摘AIM: To determine the association between the neutrophil to lymphocyte(N/L) ratio and the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) infection. METHODS: Between December 2011 and February 2013, 129 consecutive CHB patients who were admitted to the study hospitals for histological evaluation of chronic hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into two groups based on the fibrosis score: individuals with a fibrosis score of F0 or F1 were included in the 'no/minimal liver fibrosis' group, whereas patients with a fibrosis score of F2, F3, or F4 were included in the 'advanced liver fibrosis' group. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences 18.0 for Windows was used to analyze the data. A P value of < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.RESULTS: Three experienced and blinded pathologists evaluated the fibrotic status and inflammatory activity of 129 liver biopsy samples from the CHB patients. Following histopathological examination, the 'no/minimal fibrosis' group included 79 individuals, while the 'advanced fibrosis' group included 50 individuals. Mean(N/L) ratio levels were notably lower in patients with advanced fibrosis when compared with patients with no/minimal fibrosis. The mean value of the aspartate aminotransferase-platelet ratio index was markedly higher in cases with advanced fibrosis compared to those with no/minimal fibrosis.CONCLUSION: Reduced levels of the peripheral blood N/L ratio were found to give high sensitivity, specificity and predictive values in CHB patients with significant fibrosis. The prominent finding of our research suggests that the N/L ratio can be used as a novel noninvasive marker of fibrosis in patients with CHB. | Murat Kekilli Alpaslan Tanoglu Yusuf Serdar Sakin Mevlut Kurt Serkan Ocal Sait Bagci | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,18: | 15 |
| 10 | AFP level and histologic differentiation predict the survival of patients with liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: In liver transplantation or resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), patient selection depends on morphological features. In patients with HCC, we performed a clinicopathological analysis of risk factors that affected survival after liver transplantation. METHODS: In 389 liver transplantations performed from 2004 to 2010, 102 were for HCC patients. Data were collected retrospectively from the Organ Transplantation Center Database. Variables were as follows: age, gender, preoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, Child-Pugh and MELD scores, prognostic staging criteria (Milan and UCSF), etiology, number of tumors, the largest tumor size, total tumor size, multifocality, intrahepatic portal vein tumor thrombosis, bilobarity, and histological differentiation. RESULTS: One hundred and two patients were evaluated. The 5-year overall survival rate was 56.5%. According to the UCSF criteria, 63% of the patients were within and 37% were beyond UCSF (P=0.03). Ten patients were excluded (one with fibrolamellary HCC and 9 because of early postoperative death without HCC recurrence), and 92 patients were assessed. The mean age of the patients was 56.5±6.9 years. Sixty-two patients underwent living donor liver transplantations. The mean follow-up time was 29.4±22.6 months. Fifteen patients (16.3%) died in the follow-up period due to HCC recurrence. Univariate analysis showed that AFP level, intrahepatic portal vein tumor thrombosis, histologic differentiation and UCSF criteria were significant factors related to survival and tumor recurrence. The 5-year estimated overall survival rate was 62.2% in allpatients. According to the UCSF criteria, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 66.7% within and 52.7% beyond the criteria (P=0.04). Multivariate analysis showed that AFP level and poor differentiation were independent factors. CONCLUSIONS: For proper patient selection in liver trans- plantation for HCC, prognostic criteria related to tumor biology (especially AFP level and histological differentiation) should be considered. Poor differentiation and higher AFP levels are indicators of poor prognosis after liver transplantation. | Onur Yaprak Murat Akyildiz Murat Dayangac Baha Tolga Demirbas Necdet Guler Gulen Bulbul Dogusoy Yildiray Yuzer Yaman Tokat | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,3: | 15 |
| 11 | Ultrasound guided percutaneous cholecystostomy in high-risk patients for surgical intervention显示文摘AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) in the treatment of acute cholecystitis in a well-defined high risk patients under general anesthesia. METHODS: The data of 27 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy for the management of acute cholecystitis from January 1999 to June 2003 was retrospectively evaluated. All of the patients had both clinical and sonographic signs of acute cholecystitis and had comorbid diseases. RESULTS: Ultrasound revealed gallbladder stones in 25 patients and acalculous cholecystitis in two patients. Cholecystostomy catheters were removed 14-32 d (mean 23 d) after the procedure in cases where complete regression of all symptoms was achieved. There were statistically significant reductions in leukocytosis, (13.7 × 103 ± 1.3 × 103 μg/L vs 13 × 103 ± 1 × 103 μg/L, P < 0.05 for 24 h after PC; 13.7 × 103 ± 1.3 × 103 μg/L vs 8.3 × 103 ± 1.2 × 103 μg/L, P < 0.0001 for 72 h after PC), C -reactive protein (51.2 ± 18.5 mg/L vs 27.3 ± 10.4 mg/L, P < 0.05 for 24 h after PC; 51.2 ± 18.5 mg/L vs 5.4 ± 1.5 mg/L, P < 0.0001 for 72 h after PC), and fever (38 ± 0.35℃ vs 37.3 ± 0.32℃, P < 0.05 for 24 h after PC; 38 ± 0.35℃ vs 36.9 ± 0.15℃, P < 0.0001 for 72 h after PC). Sphincterotomy and stone extraction was performed successfully with endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) in three patients. After cholecystostomy, 5 (18%) patients underwent delayed cholecystectomy without any complications. Three out of 22 patients were admitted with recurrent acute cholecystitis during the follow-up and recoveredwith medical treatment. Catheter dislodgement occurred in three patients spontaneously, and two of them were managed by reinsertion of the catheter. CONCLUSION: As an alternative to surgery, percutan- eous cholecystostomy seems to be a safe method in critically ill patients with acute cholecystitis and can be performed with low mortality and morbidity. Delayed cholecystectomy and ERCP, if needed, can be performed after the acute period has been resolved by percutaneous cholecystostomy. | Huseyin Bakkaloglu Hakan Yanar Recep Guloglu Korhan Taviloglu Fatih Tunca Murat Aksoy Cemalettin Ertekin Arzu Poyanli | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,44: | 15 |
| 12 | Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis:A single center experience显示文摘AIM:To share our experience of the management and outcomes of patients with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI).METHODS:The charts of seven patients who underwent surgery for PCI between 2001 and 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.Clinical features,diagnoses and surgical interventions of patients with PCI are discussed.RESULTS:Seven patients with PCI (3 males,4 females;mean age,50 ± 16.1 years;range,29-74 years) were analyzed.In three of the patients,abdominal pain was the only complaint,whereas additional vomiting and/or constipation occurred in four.Leukocytosis was detected in four patients,whereas it was within normal limits in three.Subdiaphragmatic free air was observed radiologically in four patients but not in three.Six of the patients underwent an applied laparotomy,whereas one underwent an applied explorative laparoscopy.PCI localized to the small intestine only was detected in four patients,whereas it was localized to the small intestine and the colon in three.Three patients underwent a partial small intestine resection and four did not after PCI was diagnosed.Five patients were diagnosed with secondary PCI and two with primary PCI when the surgical findings and medical history were assessed together.Gastric atony developed in one case only,as a complication during a postoperative follow-up of 5-14 d.CONCLUSION:Although rare,PCI should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.Diagnostic laparoscopy and preoperative radiological tests,including computed tomography,play an important role in confirming the diagnosis. | Zulfu Arikanoglu Erhan Aygen Cemalettin Camci Sami Akbulut Murat Basbug Osman Dogru Ziya Cetinkaya Cuneyt Kirkil | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,5: | 13 |
| 13 | Tumors of the spine显示文摘Spine tumors comprise a small percentage of reasons for back pain and other symptoms originating in the spine.The majority of the tumors involving the spinal column are metastases of visceral organ cancers which are mostly seen in older patients.Primary musculoskeletal system sarcomas involving the spinal column are rare.Benign tumors and tumor-like lesions of the musculoskeletal system are mostly seen in young patients and often cause instability and canal compromise.Optimal diagnosis and treatment of spine tumors require a multidisciplinary approach and thorough knowledge of both spine surgery and musculoskeletal tumor surgery.Either primary or metastatic tumors involving the spine are demanding problems in terms of diagnosis and treatment.Spinal instability and neurological compromise are the main and critical problems in patients with tumors of the spinal column.In the past,only a few treatment options aiming short-term control were available for treatment of primary and metastatic spine tumors.Spine surgeons adapted their approach for spine tumors according to orthopaedic oncologic principles in the last 20 years.Advances in imaging,surgical techniques and implant technology resulted in better diagnosis and surgical treatment options,especially for primary tumors.Also,modern chemotherapy drugs and regimens with new radiotherapy and radiosurgery options caused moderate to long-term local and systemic control for even primary sarcomas involving the spinal column. | Mert Ciftdemir Murat Kaya Esref Selcuk Erol Yalniz | 2016 | World Journal of Orthopedics2016,7,2: | 13 |
| 14 | Effects of water content, water type and temperature on the rheological behaviour of slag-cement and fly ash-cement paste backfill显示文摘The pumping ability and placement performance of fresh cemented paste backfill(CPB) in underground mined cavities depend on its rheological properties. Hence, it is crucial to understand the rheology of fresh CPB slurry, which is related to CPB mixture design and the temperature underground. This paper presented an experimental study investigating the effects of binder type, content, water chemical properties and content, and temperature, on the rheological properties of CPB material prepared using the tailings of a copper mine in South Australia. Portland cement(PC), a newly released commercially manufactured cement called Minecem(MC) and fly ash(FA) were used as the binders added to the mine tailing materials. Various amounts of two different water types were added to the mixtures in the preparation of backfill material slurry. Six different temperatures ranging from 5 to 60 °C were to investigate the effect of temperature on CPB rheology. Overall, the increasing water content and decreasing temperature lead to lower yield stress. Based on the results obtained from the rheological properties of CPB slurry, it was found that at room temperature(25 °C), with regards to the unconfined compressive strength(UCS) performance, the replacement of 4% PC mixed CPB(28 days UCS 425 k Pa) to 3% MC mixed CPB(28 days UCS 519 k Pa), reduced the slurry yield stress from 210.7 to 178.5 Pa. The results also showed that the chemical composition of water affects the yield stress of CPB slurry and that MC mitigates the negative effect of mine-processed water(MW) and thus lead to improve the rheological properties of the slurry. However, the results suggested that the rheological properties of a mixture using MC is very sensitive to the water volume and temperature change. Therefore, using MC in backfill requires better quality control in slump mixing. | Yue Zhao Abbas Taheri Murat Karakus Zhongwei Chen An Deng | 2020 | International Journal of Mining Science and Technology2020,30,3: | 13 |

| 16 | Listening to Turkish classical music decreases patients’anxiety,pain,dissatisfaction and the dose of sedative and analgesic drugs during colonoscopy:A prospective randomized controlled trial显示文摘AIM: To determine whether listening to music decreases the requirement for dosages of sedative drugs, patients’ anxiety, pain and dissatisfaction feelings during colonoscopy and makes the procedure more comfortable and acceptable. METHODS: Patients undergoing elective colonoscopy between October 2005 and February 2006 were randomized into either listening to music (Group 1, n = 30) or not listening to music (Group 2, n = 30). Anxiolytic and analgesic drugs (intravenous midazolam and meperidine) were given according to the patients’ demand. Administered medications were monitored. We determined their levels of anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Test form. Patients’ satisfaction, pain, and willingness to undergo a repeated procedure were self-assessed using a visual analog scale.RESULTS: The mean dose of sedative and analgesic drugs used in group 1 (midazolam: 2.1 ± 1.4, meperidine: 18.1 ± 11.7) was smaller than group 2 (midazolam: 2.4 ± 1.0, meperidine: 20.6 ± 11.5), but without a significant difference (P > 0.05). The mean anxiety level in group 1 was lower than group 2 (36.7 ± 2.2 vs 251.0 ± 1.9, P < 0.001). The mean satisfaction score was higher in group 1 compared to group 2 (87.8 ± 3.1 vs 58.1 ± 3.4, P < 0.001). The mean pain score in group 1 was lower than group 2 (74.1 ± 4.7 vs 39.0 ± 3.9, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: Listening to music during colonoscopy helps reduce the dose of sedative medications, as well as patients’ anxiety, pain, dissatisfaction during the procedure. Therefore, we believe that listening to music can play an adjunctive role to sedation in colonoscopy. It is a simple, inexpensive way to improve patients’ comfort during the procedure. | Nimet Ovayolu Ozlem Ucan Seda Pehlivan Yavuz Pehlivan Hakan Buyukhatipoglu M Cemil Savas Murat T Gulsen | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,46: | 10 |
| 17 | Relationship between serum adenosine deaminase levels and liver histology in autoimmune hepatitis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the relationship between serum adenosine deaminase(ADA) levels and histological features in patients with autoimmune hepatitis(AIH).METHODS A total of 80 subjects(52 AIH cases and 28 healthy controls) were included in the study. Patients were diagnosed according to the simplified criteria suggested by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. All of the cases had been diagnosed with AIH between 2010-2015 at Hacettepe University, Department of Gastroenterology. Serum blood samples were collected and stored at-80 ℃ until the biochemical estimation of ADA activity. The diagnosis of patients was confirmed by liver biopsy. Serum ADA > 20 U/L was considered to be high level.RESULTS Mean serum ADA levels were significantly higher in AIH patients than those in healthy controls(25.4 ± 9.6 U/L vs 12.8 ± 2.2 U/L, P < 0.001). Serum ADA levels > 20 U/L were found in 63.5% AIH patients and in 0% healthy controls(P < 0.001). Mean serum ADA levels were significantly increased in each stage of histological activity: 15.2 ± 3.5 U/L for patients with mild interface hepatitis, 23.1 ± 10.0 U/L for patients with moderate interface hepatitis and 30.9 ± 7.0 U/L for patients with severe interface hepatitis(P < 0.001). Correlation analysis showed that there was a positive association between serum ADA levels and histological activity(r = 0.71, P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis suggested that 24.5 U/L was the optimum cut-off point of ADA level for severe interface hepatitis(sensitivity 88%, specificity 85.2%, area under thecurve: 0.88).CONCLUSION Because of the positive correlation with inflammatory activity, serum ADA level may be a potential biomarker for predicting or monitoring histological activity in patients with AIH. | Murat Torgutalp Cumali Efe Hakan Babaoglu Taylan Kav | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,21: | 10 |
| 18 | Diffusion-weighted and diffusion-tensor imaging of normal and diseased uterus显示文摘Owing to technical advances and improvement of the software, diffusion weighted imaging and diffusion tensor imaging(DWI and DTI) greatly improved the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the pelvic region. These imaging sequences can exhibit important tissue contrast on the basis of random diffusion(Brownian motion) of water molecules in tissues. Quantitative measurements can be done with DWI and DTI by apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) and fractional anisotropy(FA) values respectively. ADC and FA values may be changed by various physiological and pathological conditions providing additional information to conventional MRI. The quantitative DWI assists significantly in the differentiation of benign and malignant lesions. It can demonstrate the microstructural architecture and celluler density of the normal and diseased uterine zones. On the other hand, DWI and DTI are useful for monitoring the treatment outcome of the uterine lesions. In this review, we discussed advantages of DWI and DTI of the normal and diseased uterus. | Duygu Kara Bozkurt Murat Bozkurt Mehmet Ali Nazli Ilhan Nahit Mutlu Ozgur Kilickesmez | 2015 | World Journal of Radiology2015,7,7: | 9 |
| 19 | Large bowel injuries during gynecological laparoscopy显示文摘Laparoscopy is one of the most frequently preferred surgical options in gynecological surgery and has advantages over laparotomy, including smaller surgical scars, faster recovery, less pain and earlier return of bowel functions. Generally, it is also accepted as safe and effective and patients tolerate it well. However, it is still an intra-abdominal procedure and has the similar potential risks of laparotomy, including injury of a vital structure, bleeding and infection. Besides the wellknown risks of open surgery, laparoscopy also has its own unique risks related to abdominal access methods,pneumoperitoneum created to provide adequate operative space and the energy modalities used during the procedures. Bowel, bladder or major blood vessel injuries and passage of gas into the intravascular space may result from laparoscopic surgical technique. In addition, the risks of aspiration, respiratory dysfunction and cardiovascular dysfunction increase during laparoscopy. Large bowel injuries during laparoscopy are serious complications because 50% of bowel injuries and60% of visceral injuries are undiagnosed at the time of primary surgery. A missed or delayed diagnosis increases the risk of bowel perforation and consequently sepsis and even death. In this paper, we aim to focus on large bowel injuries that happen during gynecological laparoscopy and review their diagnostic and management options. | Kahraman ülker Turgut Anuk Murat Bozkurt Yetkin Karasu | 2014 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2014,2,12: | 9 |
| 20 | Glasgow coma scale and APACHE-II scores affect the liver transplantation outcomes in patients with acute liver failure显示文摘BACKGROUND:The timing and selection of patients for liver transplantation in acute liver failure are great challenges.This study aimed to investigate the effect of Glasgow coma scale(GCS)and APACHE-II scores on liver transplantation outcomes in patients with acute liver failure.METHOD:A total of 25 patients with acute liver failure were retrospectively analyzed according to age,etiology,time to transplantation,coma scores,complications and mortality.RESULTS:Eighteen patients received transplants from live donors and 7 had cadaveric whole liver transplants.The mean duration of follow-up after liver transplantation was 39.86±40.23 months.Seven patients died within the perioperative period and the 1-,3-,5-year survival rates of the patients were72%,72%and 60%,respectively.The parameters evaluated for the perioperative deaths versus alive were as follows:the mean age of the patients was 33.71 vs 28 years,MELD score was 40 vs32.66,GCS was 5.57 vs 10.16,APACHE-II score was 23 vs 18.11,serum sodium level was 138.57 vs 138.44 mmol/L,mean waiting time before the operation was 12 vs 5.16 days.Low GCS,high APACHE-II score and longer waiting time before the operation(P<0.01)were found as statistically significant factors for perioperative mortality.CONCLUSION:Lower GCS and higher APACHE-II scores are related to poor outcomes in patients with acute liver failure after liver transplantation. | Necdet Guler Omer Unalp Ayse Guler Onur Yaprak Murat Dayangac Murat Sozbilen Murat Akyildiz Yaman Tokat | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,6: | 9 |
