| 1 | Diabetic foot disease:From the evaluation of the “foot at risk” to the novel diabetic ulcer treatment modalities显示文摘The burden of diabetic foot disease(DFD) is expected to increase in the future. The incidence of DFD is still rising due to the high prevalence of DFD predisposing factors. DFD is multifactorial in nature; however most of the diabetic foot amputations are preceded by foot ulceration. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is a major risk factor for foot ulceration. DPN leads to loss of protective sensation resulting in continuous unconscious traumas. Patient education and detection of high risk foot are essential for the prevention of foot ulceration and amputation. Proper assessment of the diabetic foot ulceration and appropriate management ensure better prognosis. Management is based on revascularization procedures, wound debridement, treatment of infection and ulcer offloading. Management and type of dressing applied are tailored according to the type of wound and the foot condition. The scope of this review paper is to describe the diabetic foot syndrome starting from the evaluation of the foot at risk for ulceration, up to the new treatment modalities. | Noha Amin John Doupis | 2016 | World Journal of Diabetes2016,7,7: | 39 |
| 2 | Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells as treatment of adjuvant rheumatoid arthritis in a rat model显示文摘AIM:To investigate the effect of human umbilical cord stem cells,both mesenchymal and hematopoietic(CD34+),in the treatment of arthritis.METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) and hematopoietic(CD34+) stem cells(HSC) were isolated from human umbilical cord blood obtained from the umbilical cord of healthy pregnant donors undergoing fullterm normal vaginal delivery.MSC,HSC,methotrexate(MTX) and sterile saline were injected intra-articularly into the rat hindpaw with complete freunds adjuvant(CFA) induced arthritis after the onset of disease(day 34),when arthritis had become well established(arthritis score ≥ 2).Arthritic indices were evaluated and the levels of interleukin(IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interferon(IFN)-γ and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in serum were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Animals of all groups were sacrificed 34 d after beginning treatment,except positive control(PC) which was sacrificed at 10,21 and 34 d for microscopic observation of disease progression.We used hematoxylin,eosin and Masson's trichrome stains for histopathological examination of cartilage and synovium.RESULTS:The mean arthritis scores were similar in all groups at 12 and 34 d post immunization,with no statistical significant difference.Upon the injection of stem cells(hematopoietic and mesenchymal),the overall arthritis signs were significantly improved around 21 d after receiving the injection and totally disappeared at day 34 post treatment in MSC group.Mean hindpaw diameter(mm) in the MSC rats was about half that of the PC and MTX groups(P = 0.007 and P = 0.021,respectively) and 0.6 mm less than the HSC group(P = 0.047),as indicated by paw swelling.Associated with these findings,serum levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-1 decreased significantly in HSC and MSC groups compared to PC and MTX groups(P < 0.05),while the expression of IL-10 was increased.Histopathological examination with H and E stain revealed that the MTX treated group showed significant reduction of leucocytic infiltrate and hypertrophy of the synovial tissue with moderate obliteration of the joint cavity.Stem cells treated groups(both hematopoietic CD34+ and mesenchymal),showed significant reduction in leucocytic infiltrate and hypertrophy of the synovial tissue with mild obliteration of the joint cavity.With Masson's trichrome,stain sections from the PC group showed evidence of vascular edema of almost all vessels within the synovium in nearly all arthritic rats.Vacuoles were also visible in the outer vessel wall.The vessel became hemorrhagic and finally necrotic.In addition,there was extensive fibrosis completely obliterating the joint cavity.The mean color area percentage of collagen in this group was 0.324 ± 0.096,which was significantly increased when compared to the negative control group.The mean color area percentage of collagen in hematopoietic CD34+ and mesenchymal groups was 0.176 ± 0.0137 and 0.174 ± 0.0197 respectively,which showed a marked decrement compared to the PC group,denoting a mild increase in synovial tissue collagen fibers.CONCLUSION:MSC enhance the efficacy of CFAinduced arthritis treatment,most likely through the modulation of the expression of cytokines and amelioration of pathological changes in joints. | Sahar Greish Noha Abogresha Zeinab Abdel-Hady Eman Zakaria Mona Ghaly Mohamed Hefny | 2012 | World Journal of Stem Cells2012,4,10: | 17 |
| 3 | Effect of alternative antibiotics in treatment of cefotaxime resistant spontaneous bacterial peritonitis显示文摘AIM:To evaluate effective alternative antibiotics in treatment of cefotaxime-resistant spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.METHODS:One hundred cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis [ascitic fluid polymorphonuclear cell count(PMNLs) ≥ 250 cells/mm 3 at admission] were empirically treated with cefotaxime sodium 2 g/12 h and volume expansion by intravenous human albumin.All patients were subjected to history taking,complete examination,laboratory tests(including a complete blood cell count,prothrombin time,biochemical tests of liver and kidney function,and fresh urine sediment),chest X-ray,a diagnostic abdominal paracentesis,and the sample subjected to total and differential cell count,chemical examination,aerobic and anaerobic cultures.Patients were divided after 2 d by a second ascitic PMNL count into group Ⅰ;patients sensitive to cefotaxime(n = 81),group Ⅱ(n = 19);cases resistant to cefotaxime(less than 25% decrease in ascitic PMNL count).Patients of group Ⅱ were randomly assigned into meropenem(n = 11) or levofloxacin(n = 8) subgroups.All patients performed an end of treatment ascitic PMNL count.Patients were considered improved when:PMNLs decreased to < 250 cells/mm 3,no growth in previously positive culture cases,and improved clinical manifestations with at least 5 d of antibiotic therapy.RESULTS:Age,sex,and Child classes showed no significant difference between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ.Fever and abdominal pain were the most frequent manifestations and were reported in 82.7% and 80.2% of patients in group Ⅰ and in 94.7% and 84.2% of patients in group Ⅱ,respectively.Patients in group Ⅱ had a more severe ascitic inflammatory response than group Ⅰ and this was demonstrated by more ascitic lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) [median:540 IU/L(range:150-1200 IU/L) vs median:240 IU/L(range:180-500 IU/L),P = 0.000] and PMNL [median:15 000 cell/mm 3(range:957-23 822 cell/mm 3) vs 3400 cell/mm 3(range:695-26 400 cell/mm 3),P = 0.000] counts.Ascitic fluid culture was positive in 32% of cases.Cefotaxime failed in 19% of patients;of these patients,11(100%) responded to meropenem and 6(75%) responded to levofloxacin.Two patients with failed levofloxacin therapy were treated according to the in vitro culture and sensitivity(one case was treated with vancomycin and one case was treated with ampicillin/sulbactam).In group Ⅱ the meropenem subgroup had higher LDH(range:108-860 IU/L vs 120-491 IU/L,P = 0.042) and PMNL counts(range:957-23 822 cell/mm 3 vs 957-15 222 cell/mm 3,P = 0.000) at initiation of the alternative antibiotic therapy;there was no significant difference in the studied parameters between patients responsive to meropenem and patients responsive to levofloxacin at the end of therapy(mean ± SD:316.01 ± 104.03PMNLs/mm 3 vs 265.63 ± 69.61 PMNLs/mm 3,P = 0.307).The isolated organisms found in group Ⅱ were;enterococci,acinetobacter,expanded-spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli,β-lactamase producing Enterobacter and Staphylococcus aureus.CONCLUSION:Empirical treatment with cefotaxime is effective in 81% of cases;meropenem is effective in cefotaxime-resistant cases. | Ahmed Abouelkhair Badawy Tarik Ibrahim Zaher Samar Mahmoud Sharaf Mohamed Hassan Emara Noha Elsaid Shaheen Talaat Fathy Aly | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,8: | 13 |
| 4 | Relationship between vitamin D and IL-23,IL-17 and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 as markers of fibrosis in hepatitis C virus Egyptians显示文摘AIM:To assess vitamin D in hepatitis C patients and its relationship to interleukin (IL)-23, IL-17, and macrophage chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). METHODS:The study was conducted on 50 Egyptian hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype number IV-infected patients and 25 ageand gender-matched healthy subjects. Venous blood samples were obtained. Samples were allowed to clot and sera were separated by centrifugation and stored at -20 ℃. A 25 hydroxy vitamin D assay was carried out using solid phase RIA. A 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D assay was carried out using a commercial kit purchased from Incstar Corporation. IL-17 and -23 and MCP-1 were assayed by an enzyme immunoassay. Quantitative and qualitative polymerase chain reaction for HCV virus were done by TaqMan technology. Only HCV genotype IV-infected subjectswere included in the study. The mean ± SD were determined, a t-test for comparison of means of different parameters was used. Correlation analysis was done using Pearson's correlation. Differences among different groups were determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS:The mean vitamin D level in HCV patients (groupⅠ) was 15 ± 5.2 ng/mL while in control (group Ⅱ) was 39.7 ± 10.8. For active vitamin D in groupⅠas 16.6 ± 4.8 ng/mL while in group Ⅱ was 41.9 ± 7.9. IL-23 was 154 ± 97.8 in group Ⅰ and 6.7 ± 2.17 in group Ⅱ. IL-17 was 70.7 ± 72.5 in cases and 1.2 ± 0.4 in control. MCP-1 was 1582 ± 794.4 in group Ⅰand 216.1 ± 5.38 in group Ⅱ. Vitamin D deficiency affected 72% of HCV-infected patients and 0% of the control group. Vitamin D insufficiency existed in 28% of HCV-in-fected patients and 12% of the control group. One hundred percent of the cirrhotic patients and 40% of non cirrhotic HCV-infected patients had vitamin D deficiency. IL-23, IL-17, and MCP-1 were markedly increased in HCV-infected patients in comparison to controls.A significant negative correlation between vitamin D and IL-17 and-23 and MCP-1 was detected. HCV-infected males and females showed no differences with respect to viral load, vitamin D levels, IL-17, IL-23 and MCP-1. The viral load was negatively correlated with vitamin D and active vitamin D (P = 0.0001 and P = 0.001, respectively), while positively correlated with IL-23, IL-17, and MCP-1. We classified the patients according to sonar findings into four groups. Group Ⅰa with bright hepatomegaly and included 14 patients. Group Ⅰb with perihepatic fibrosis and included 11 patients. Group Ⅰc with liver cirrhosis and included 11 patients. Group Ⅰd with he patocellular carcinoma (HCC) and included 14 patients. Vitamin D and active vitamin D were shown to be lower in cirrhotic patients and much lower in patients with HCC, and this difference was highly significant (P = 0.0001). IL-17 and-23 and MCP-1 were higher in advanced liver disease) and the differences were highly significant (P = 0.0001).CONCLUSION:Whether the deficiency of vitamin D is related to HCV-induced chronic liver disease or predisposing factor for higher viral load is a matter of debate. | Noha M El Husseiny Hala M Fahmy Waleed A Mohamed Hisham H Amin | 2012 | World Journal of Hepatology2012,4,8: | 12 |

| 6 | IL28B polymorphism and cytomegalovirus predict response to treatment in Egyptian HCV type 4 patients显示文摘AIM:To test whether the status of positive cytomegalovirus(CMV) DNA detection adds to the predictive value of IL28B and to further categorize C/T allele carriers.METHODS:This study included 166 chronic hepatitis C(CHC) patients who received combined interferon and ribavirin therapy for 48 wk,84 spontaneous hepatitis C virus(HCV) resolvers who were positive for IgG anti-HCV antibody and negative for HCV RNA,and 100 healthy subjects who were negative for both HCV antibodies and RNA as controls.Genomic DNA from peripheral blood was used for IL28B rs.12979860 single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) and CMV DNA detection.A 139 bp fragment containing IL28B SNP was amplified in all subjects by polymerase chain reaction using a specifically designed primer.Then the IL28B rs.12979860 SNP was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) genotyping.The presence of CMV DNA was tested by amplification of the gB1 gene using nested polymerase chain reaction.The role of CMV and IL28B rs.12979860 SNP genotypes in determining the response rate to combined interferon therapy and clinical status of patients were statistically analyzed.RESULTS:Current data showed that 67% of patients carrying the IL28B 12979860 C/C allele had a sustained viral response(SVR) while the genotypes C/T and TT were associated with lower SVR rates,50% and 48%,respectively.SVR rates for the C/C allele were lower than other HCV genotypes and/or other populations.Genotype CC was associated with the response to interferon(P = 0.025).Genotype C/C was reduced from 48% in controls to 14% in CHC patients suggesting its protective role against progression to chronicity.The majority of spontaneously cleared subjects(86%) were C/C,confirming its protective role.The C/T allele was present in 71% of CHC patients compared with 38% of controls,so the use of IL28B SNP genotyping only in these patients may be of little value as a predictor of response.CMV reactivation occurred in 40% of CHC patients.Co-infection with CMV seriously diminished the response to interferon(IFN) therapy,with SVR rates in C/C genotypes 87.5% in CMV-negative patients and 12.5% in CMV-positive patients(P < 0.0001).SVR rates among C/T carriers were reduced to < 50% in patients with positive CMV DNA while the non-response rate doubled.These data indicate that a supplemental assay for CMV viremia adds to the prognostic value of IL28B genotyping.CONCLUSION:The results suggest that both genetic(i.e.,spontaneous) and therapeutic(IFN-based therapy) arms are complementary in the battle against HCV.CMV DNA testing may be of value to better predict the response to IFN,particularly in IL28B C/T carriers. | Mostafa K El Awady Noha G Bader El Din Ashraf Tabll Yaser El Hosary Ashraf O Abdel Aziz Hesham El Khayat Mohsen Salama Tawfeek H Abdelhafez | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,2: | 8 |
| 7 | Octreotide ameliorates gastric lesions in chronically mild stressed rats显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effect of chronic mild stress(CMS) on the emergence of gastric ulcers and possible modulation by octreotide,a synthetic somatostatin analogue. METHODS:Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to nine different unpredictable random stress procedures for 21 d,a multifactorial interactional animal model for CMS.Octreotide was administered daily for 21 d at two dose levels(50 and 90μg/kg)before exposure to stress procedure.Macro-and microscopical assessments were made,in addition to quantification of plasma corticosterone and gastric mucosal inflammatory,oxidative stress, and apoptotic biomarkers. RESULTS:Exposure to CMS elevated plasma corticosterone(28.3±0.6μg/dL,P=0.002),an event that was accompanied by gastric lesions(6.4±0.16 mm,P=0.01) and confirmed histopathologically.Moreover,the insult elevated gastric mucosal lipid peroxides(13±0.5 nmol/g tissue,P=0.001),tumor necrosis factor-α(3008.6±78.18 pg/g tissue,P<0.001),prostaglandin E2(117.1 ±4.31 pg/g tissue,P=0.002),and caspase-3 activity (2.4±0.14 OD/mg protein,P=0.002).Conversely,CMS mitigated interleukin-10(627.9±12.82 pg/g tissue,P= 0.001).Furthermore,in animals exposed to CMS,octreotide restored plasma corticosterone(61%and 71%from CMS,P=0.002)at both dose levels.These beneficial effects were associated with a remarkable suppression of gastric lesions(38%and 9%from CMS,P=0.01)and reversal of derangements in gastric mucosa. CONCLUSION:The current investigation provides evidence that exposure to CMS induces gastric ulceration, which was alleviated by administration of octreotide possibly possessing antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and anti-apoptotic actions. | Noha N Nassar Mona F Schaalan Hala F Zaki Dalaal M Abdallah | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,9: | 6 |
| 8 | Association between low molecular polypeptide 7 single nucleotide polymorphism and response to therapy in hepatitis C virus infection显示文摘AIM: To investigate the relationship between low molecular polypeptide-7 (LMP-7) gene polymorphism and response to interferon (IFN) therapy in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. METHODS: LMP-7 polymorphism at codon 49 with nucleotide substitution from A to C was amplified in 104 chronic HCV patients of genotype 4. The amplicons were digested with restriction endonuclease Bsm I and the produced restriction fragment length polymorphism was analyzed. Patients received IFN + regional blood volume therapy for 48 wk and the frequency of thissingle nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was statistically correlated with treatment response. The exclusion criteria for these patients were stated by the national health program for treating viral hepatitis. Main exclusion criteria included co-infection with hepatitis B virus or schistosomiasis, thyroid dysfunction, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, history of long term drug or alcohol intake and autoimmune hepatitis. Multivariate analyses were done to correlate LMP-7 SNP plus several factors such as age, gender, weight, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and alanine aminotransferase levels, liver activity, fibrosis score and viral load with response to therapy. RESULTS: The data presented in this study clearly demonstrated statistically significant differences between sustained virological response (SVR) (defined as the absence of HCV RNA levels in the patient's sera at least 6 mo after discontinuation of treatment) and non-response (NR) (where HCV RNA levels in the patient's sera never become undetectable for 6 mo during or after treatment). Variables were described as odds ratio with 95%CI. The data were considered significant if P values were ≤ 0.05; highly significant if P < 0.01 and very highly significant if P < 0.001. Current data showed that 91.7% of patients carrying LMP-7 C/C allele were associated with SVR, while the other two genotypes C/A and A/A were associated with NR patients, 83.3% and 64.3% respectively, showing that genotype CC was strongly associated with response to interferon (95%CI: 12.0719-134.6572, P = 0.0001). The majority of parameters recorded in SVR and NR patients included higher values of mean age (P = 0.004), alanine aminotransferase (P = 0.001), AFP (P = 0.001), body weight (P = 0.025), viral load (P = 0.025), higher fibrosis and histological activity index indices among NR vs SVR patients. Also, the multivariate statistical analysis of the different factors of fibro-sis score, liver activity grade, genotypes and alleles of LMP-7 gene polymorphism in responders and NRs of HCV patients in this study showed that HCV patients with A allele had a very highly significant association with the NRs, high fibrosis and higher liver activity, while the C allele had a very highly significant association with the responders, low fibrosis and lower liver activity (95%CI: 3.5800-13.2519, P = 0.0001).CONCLUSION: LMP-7 SNP is a candidate gene that should be considered when designing a mathematical model for predicting response to therapy and disease progression in HCV patients. | Moataza H Omran Basma E Fotouh Samar S Youssef Noha E Ibrahim Wael Nabil EL-Sayed M Mahdy Wafaa G Shosha Mostafa K El-Awady | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,3: | 4 |
| 9 | 金属/分子筛催化剂的卤化氢处理对环己烯加氢转化的影响Ⅱ.Re/H-ZSM-5催化剂显示文摘用HCl或HF对Re/H-ZSM-5催化剂进行了后处理,并在50~400℃用连续流动反应器研究了催化剂对环己烯加氢转化反应的影响.与HCl处理相比,HF处理显著提高了催化剂上环己烯加氢生成环己烷以及甲基环戊烯加氢生成甲基环戊烷的催化活性,这主要是因为HF处理催化剂具有较高的铼分散度、酸中心数及酸强度.Re/H-ZSM-5(HF)催化剂上最高的酸中心强度使其具有最高的加氢裂化活性及最低的环己烯脱氢生成环己二烯活性.在未处理的Re/H-ZSM-5催化剂上,沉积在分子筛载体孔道和空穴中非骨架Al和Si的量最少,因而对生成芳烃的脱氢反应具有最高活性.卤化氢处理催化剂上二甲苯异构体的相对产量表明:HF处理催化剂上,对二甲苯产量高于间二甲苯;HCl处理催化剂上,间二甲苯和对二甲苯产量基本相当;在未处理的催化剂上,间二甲苯量产量比对二甲苯高.此外,上述所有催化剂上的邻二甲苯产量均约等于对二甲苯与间二甲苯之和. | Ahmed K.ABOUL-GHEIT Noha A.K.ABOUL-GHEIT Ahmed E.AWADALLAH | 2008 | 催化学报2008,29,2: | 3 |
| 10 | 通过FPGA设计安全的高级辅助驾驶系统显示文摘随着道路上汽车数量的增加,我们需要更多的技术来进一步减少交通事故。过去几年,基于雷达和摄像机的新系统功能的出现使驾驶更加安全。很多高级辅助驾驶系统(ADAS)应用,如自动巡航控制、道路偏离报警、交通信号标志识别等,已经成为车辆上非常方便的功能,但对车辆行为没有影响或影响很小。然而,现在这些技术开始在车辆控制中扮演积极主动的角色,如车道辅助保持(LKA)或自动紧急刹车(AEB)等,以帮助实现减少交通事故的既定目标。这带来的挑战是,当系统出现故障时,必须确保系统不会对车辆和环境造成更大的损害。 | Frank Noha | 2014 | 单片机与嵌入式系统应用2014,14,5: | 3 |
| 11 | Differential expression of cell cycle regulators in HCV-infection and related hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate cell cycle proteins in chronic hepatitis C virus infection in order to analyze their role in the process of hepatocyte transformation and to characterize their prognostic properties. METHODS:Subjects of the current study included 50 cases of chronic hepatitis C(CHC) without cirrhosis,30 cases of CHC with liver cirrhosis(LC) ,and 30 cases of hepatitis C-related hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) admitted to the Department of Hepato-Gastroenterology,Theodor Bilharz Research Institute(TBRI) ,Giza,Egypt.Fifteen wedge liver biopsies,taken during laparoscopic cholecystectomy,were also included as normal controls.Laboratory investigations including urine and stool analysis,liver function tests and prothrombin concentration;serologic markers for viral hepatitis and ultrasonography were done for all cases of the study together with immunohistochemical analysis using primary antibodies against Cyclin D1,Cyclin E,p21,p27 and Rb/p105 proteins. RESULTS:Normal wedge liver biopsies didn't express Cyclin E or Rb/p105 immunostaining but show positive staining for Cyclin D1,p21 and p27.Cyclin D1 expressed nuclear staining that was sequentially increased from CHC to LC(P<0.01) to HCC(P<0.001) cases;meanwhile,Cyclin E revealed nuclear positivity only in the case of HCCs patients that was directly correlated to Rb/p105 immuno-reactivity.The expression of p21 and p27 was significantly increased in CHC and LC cases compared to normal controls and HCCs with no significant difference between well-and poorlydifferentiated tumors.p21 showed only a nuclear pattern of staining,while,p27 presented with either cytoplasmic and/or nuclear reactivity in all studied cases.Correlation analysis revealed a direct relation between Cyclin D1 and p21 in CHC cases(P<0.001) ,between Cyclin D1 and Cyclin E in HCCs(P<0.01);however,an inverserelationship was detected between Cyclin D1 and p21 or p27(P<0.001) and between p21 and Rb/p105(P<0.05) in HCCs. CONCLUSION:Upregulation of Cyclin D1 in CHC plays a vital role in the development and differentiation of HCC;while,Cyclin E may be a useful marker for monitoring tumor behavior.p21 and p27 can be used as predictive markers for HCC.Furthermore,higher expression of Rb/p105 as well as inverse relation with p21 and histologic grades suggests its important role in hepatic carcinogenesis. | Azza E El Bassiouny Mona M Nosseir Mona K Zoheiry Noha A Ameen Ahmed M Abdel-Hadi Ibrahim M Ibrahim Suher Zada Abdel-Hakeem Saad El-Deen Nora E El-Bassiouni | 2010 | World Journal of Hepatology2010,2,1: | 3 |
| 12 | MicroRNA signature in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma associated with type 2 diabetes显示文摘BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis-related cirrhosis is one of the liver complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and reported to be a risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).A reliable screening biomarker of liver cirrhosis(LC)and HCC among T2DM patients is important to reduce the morbidity and mortality of this disease.MicroRNA(miRNA)is considered a key player in HCC and T2DM,and it might be a hidden culprit in diabetes-associated HCC,making it a promising reliable prognostic tool.AIM To investigate the signature of serum miRNAs as early biomarkers for the screening of HCC among diabetic patients.METHODS Expression profiles of miRNAs in serum samples of diabetic LC and diabetic HCC patients were assessed using Illumina sequencing;then,RT-qPCR was used to validate significantly altered miRNAs between the two groups.Candidate miRNAs were tested in serum samples of 200 T2DM patients,270 LC patients,200 HCC patients,and 225 healthy control subjects.Additionally,receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis,with area under the curve(AUC),was performed to assess the diagnostic performance of the screened miRNAs for discriminating HCC from LC and nonmalignant patients(LC+T2DM).RESULTS Expression of the sequenced miRNAs in serum was different in HCC vs LCpositive T2DM patients.Two miRNAs(miR-34a,miR-221)were significantly upregulated and five miRNAs(miR-16,miR-23-3p,miR-122-5p,miR-198,miR-199a-3p)were significantly down-regulated in HCC compared to LC patients.Analysis of ROC curve demonstrated that the combination of these seven miRNAs can be used as a reliable biomarker for detection of HCC in diabetic patients,as it could identify HCC with high diagnostic accuracy in diabetic LC patients(AUC=0.993)and in diabetic nonmalignant patients(AUC=0.961).CONCLUSION This study validates a panel of serum miRNAs that can be used as a reliable noninvasive screening biomarker of HCC among T2DM cirrhotic and noncirrhotic patients.The study recommends further research to shed light on a possible role of c-Met in T2DM-associated HCC via the miRNA regulatory pathway. | Moustafa Nouh Elemeery Marwa Anwar Mohamed Marwa Ahmed Madkour Mohammed Mohammed Shamseya Noha Mahmoud Issa Ahmed Noah Badr Doaa Ahmed Ghareeb Cheol-Ho Pan | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,42: | 3 |
| 13 | Tumor necrosis factor-α-G308A polymorphism is associated with liver pathological changes in hepatitis C virus patients显示文摘AIM To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNFα)-G308 A polymorphism with different liver pathological changes in treatment-na?ve Egyptian patients infected with hepatitis C virus(HCV) genotype 4.METHODS This study included 180 subjects,composed of 120 treatment-na?ve chronic HCV patients with different fibrosis grades(F0-F4) and 60 healthy controls. The TNFα-G308 A region was amplified by PCR and the different genotypes were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The TNFα protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The influence of different TNFα-G308 A genotypes on TNFα expression and liver disease progression were statistically analyzed. The OR and 95%CI were calculated to assess the relative risk confidence.RESULTS Current data showed that the TNFα-G308 A SNP frequency was significantly different between controls and HCV infected patients(P = 0.001). Both the AA genotype and A allele were significantly higher in late fibrosis patients(F2-F4,n = 60) than in early fibrosis patients(F0-F1,n = 60)(P = 0.05,0.04 respectively). Moreover,the GA or AA genotypes increased the TNFα serum level greater than the GG genotype(P = 0.002). The results showed a clear association between severe liver pathological conditions(inflammation,steatosis and fibrosis) and(GA + AA) genotypes(P = 0.035,0.03,0.04 respectively). The stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the TNFα genotypes(GA + AA) were significantly associated with liver inflammation(OR = 3.776,95%CI: 1.399-10.194,P = 0.009),severe steatosis(OR = 4.49,95%CI: 1.441-14.0,P = 0.010) and fibrosis progression(OR = 2.84,95%CI: 1.080-7.472,P = 0.034).

| 14 | SOX9 in biliary atresia: New insight for fibrosis progression显示文摘Background:Liver fibrosis is a hallmark determinant of morbidity in biliary atresia(BA)even in successfully operated cases.Responsible factors for this rapid progression of fibrosis are not completely defined.Aberrant expression of the transcription factor SOX9 and hepatic progenitor cells(HPCs)proliferation have roles in fibrogenesis in cholestatic disorders.However,they were not investigated sufficiently in BA.We aimed to delineate the relation of SOX9 and HPCs to fibrosis and its progression in BA.Methods:Forty-eight patients with BA who underwent an initial diagnostic liver biopsy(LB)and consequent intraoperative LB were recruited and compared to 28 cases with non-BA cholestasis that had an LB in their diagnostic workup.Liver fibrosis,tissue SOX9 and HPC expressions were studied in both BA and non-BA-cholestasis cases.Liver fibrosis,SOX9,and HPCs’dynamic changes in BA cases were assessed.Relation of fibrosis and its progression to SOX9 and HPCs in BA was assessed.Results:SOX9 and HPCs in ductular reaction(DR)form were expressed in 100%of BA and their grades increased significantly in the second biopsy.The rapidly progressive fibrosis in BA,represented by fibrosis grade of the intraoperative LB,correlated significantly to SOX9-DR and HPC-DR at the diagnostic(r=0.420,P=0.003 and r=0.405,P=0.004,respectively)and the intraoperative(r=0.460,P=0.001 and r=0.467,P=0.001,respectively)biopsy.On the other hand,fibrosis,SOX9-DR,and HPC-DR were significantly lower in non-BA cases at a comparable age(P<0.001,P=0.006,and P=0.014,respectively).Conclusions:Fibrosis in BA is rapidly progressive within a short time and is significantly correlated to SOX9 and HPCs.Assessment of targeting SOX9 and HPCs on fibrosis progression is warranted. | Hanaa Ahmed El-Araby Magdy Anwar Saber Noha Mohamed Radwan Doha Maher Taie Nermin Mohamed Adawy Ahmad Mohamed Sira | 2021 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2021,20,2: | 3 |
| 15 | Effect of the Si/Al ratio of HZSM-5 zeolite on the production of dimethyl ether before and after ultrasonication显示文摘A series of as-synthesized HZSM-5 zeolites with different Si/Al ratios(25,90,120,240 and 400)were post-treated by ultrasonication for an optimum time of 60 min.The morphology,acidity and textural properties of HZSM-5 were characterized with XRD,SEM,N_2 adsorption and NH3-TPD techniques.The catalytic performance was evaluated by dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether(DME),which is a promising gaseous automotive fuel in future.It was found that the Si/Al ratio of HZSM-5 had considerable impacts on its catalytic performance for dehydration of methanol to DME.Its activity increased with decreasing Si/Al ratio from 400 to 25.Ultrasonication of HZSM-5 could significantly improve its catalytic performance. | Sameh M.K.Aboul-Fotouh Laila I.Ali Mona A.Naghmash Noha A.K.Aboul-Gheit | 2017 | 燃料化学学报2017,45,5: | 3 |
| 16 | Diallyl sulfide protects against N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced liver tumorigenesis:Role of aldose reductase显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the protective effect of diallyl sulfide (DAS) against N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA)-induced liver carcinogenesis.METHODS: Male Wistar rats received either NDEA or NDEA together with DAS as protection.Liver energy metabolism was assessed in terms of lactate,pyruvate,lactate/pyruvate,ATP levels,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activities.In addition,membrane disintegration of the liver cells was evaluated by measuring lipid-peroxidation products,measured as malondialdehyde (MDA); nitric oxide (NO) levels; glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase),catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities.Liver DNA level,glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and cytochrome c oxidase activities were used as DNA fragmentation indices.Aldose reductase (AR) activity was measured as an index for cancer cells resistant to chemotherapy and histopathological examination was performed on liver sections from different groups.RESULTS: NDEA significantly disturbed liver functions and most of the aforementioned indices.Treatment with DAS significantly restored liver functions and hepatocellular integrity; improved parameters of energy metabolism and suppressed free-radical generation.CONCLUSION: We provide evidence that DAS exerts a protective role on liver functions and tissue integrity in face of enhanced tumorigenesis caused by NDEA,as well as improving cancer-cell sensitivity to chemotherapy.This is mediated through combating oxidative stress of free radicals,improving the energy metabolic state of the cell,and enhancing the activity of G6Pase,GST and AR enzymes. | Safinaz S Ibrahim Noha N Nassar | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,40: | 2 |
| 17 | Stem cell applications for pathologies of the urinary bladder显示文摘New stem cell based therapies are undergoing intense research and are widely investigated in clinical fields including the urinary system. The urinary bladder performs critical complex functions that rely on its highly coordinated anatomical composition and multiplex of regulatory mechanisms. Bladder pathologies resulting in severe dysfunction are common clinical encounter and often cause significant impairment of patient's quality of life. Current surgical and medical interventions to correct urinary dysfunction or to replace an absent or defective bladder are sub-optimal and are associated with notable complications. As a result, stem cell based therapies for the urinary bladder are hoped to offer new venues that could make up for limitations of existing therapies. In this article, we review research efforts that describe the use of different types of stem cells in bladder reconstruction, urinary incontinence and retention disorders. In particular, stress urinary incontinence has been a popular target for stem cell based therapies in reported clinical trials. Furthermore, we discuss the relevance of the cancer stem cell hypothesis to the development of bladder cancer. A key subject that should not be overlooked is the safety and quality of stem cell based therapies introduced to human subjects either in a research or a clinical context. | Noha A Mousa Hisham A Abou-Taleb Hazem Orabi | 2015 | World Journal of Stem Cells2015,7,5: | 2 |
| 18 | Dimethylether production on zeolite catalysts activated by Cl^-,F^- and / or ultrasonication显示文摘The chlorinated and fluorinated zeolite catalysts were prepared by the impregnation of zeolites( H-ZSM-5,H-MOR or H-Y) using two halogen precursors( ammonium chloride and ammonium fluoride) in this study. The influence of ultrasonic irradiation was evaluated for optimizing both halogen precursors for production of dimethylether( DME) via methanol dehydration in a fixed bed reactor. The catalysts were characterized by SEM,XRD,BET and NH3-TPD. The reaction conditions were temperatures from 100 to 300 ℃ and a WHSV = 15. 9 h-1. All halogenated catalysts showhigher catalytic activities at all reaction temperatures studied. However, the halogenated zeolite catalysts prepared under ultrasonic irradiation showhigher performance for DME formation. The chlorinated zeolite catalysts show higher activity and selectivity for DME production than the respective fluorinated versions. | Sameh M.K.Aboul-Fotouh Noha A.K.Aboul-Gheit Mona A.Naghmash | 2016 | 燃料化学学报2016,44,4: | 2 |
