| 1 | Radiofrequency 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 | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,20: | 17 |
| 2 | Deep sedation during gastrointestinal endoscopy: Propofol-fentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl regimens显示文摘AIM: To compare deep sedation with propofol-fentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl regimens during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS: After obtaining approval of the research ethics committee and informed consent, 200 patients were evaluated and referred for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Patients were randomized to receive propofol-fentanyl or midazolam-fentanyl (n = 100/group).We assessed the level of sedation using the observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S) score and bispectral index (BIS). We evaluated patient and physician satisfaction, as well as the recovery time and complication rates. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistical software and included the MannWhitney test, χ 2 test, measurement of analysis of variance, and the κ statistic. RESULTS: The times to induction of sedation, recovery, and discharge were shorter in the propofolfentanyl group than the midazolam-fentanyl group. According to the OAA/S score, deep sedation events occurred in 25% of the propofol-fentanyl group and 11% of the midazolam-fentanyl group (P = 0.014). Additionally, deep sedation events occurred in 19% of the propofol-fentanyl group and 7% of the midazolamfentanyl group according to the BIS scale (P = 0.039). There was good concordance between the OAA/S score and BIS for both groups (κ = 0.71 and κ = 0.63, respectively). Oxygen supplementation was required in 42% of the propofol-fentanyl group and 26% of the midazolam-fentanyl group (P = 0.025). The mean time to recovery was 28.82 and 44.13 min in the propofolfentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl groups, respectively (P < 0.001). There were no severe complications in either group. Although patients were equally satisfied with both drug combinations, physicians were more satisfied with the propofol-fentanyl combination. CONCLUSION: Deep sedation occurred with propofolfentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl, but was more frequent in the former. Recovery was faster in the propofol-fentanyl group. | Marcos Eduardo Lera dos Santos Fauze Maluf-Filho Dalton Marques Chaves Sergio Eiji Matuguma Edson Ide Gustavo de Oliveira Luz Thiago Ferreira de Souza Fernanda C Simoes Pessorrusso Eduardo Guimares Hourneaux de Moura Paulo Sakai | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,22: | 16 |
| 3 | Immunoexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in primary gastric carcinomas and lymph node metastases显示文摘AIM: To evaluate immunoexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in primary gastric carcinomas and respective lymph node metastases. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry to analyze COX-2 expression was performed on tissue microarray slices obtained from 36 specimens of gastrectomy and satellite lymph nodes from patients with gastric carcinoma. RESULTS: Immunostaining was seen in most cases, and COX-2 expression was higher in lymph node me-tastases than in corresponding primary gastric tumors of intestinal, diffuse and mixed carcinomas, with a statistically signif icant difference in the diffuse histotype (P = 0.0108). CONCLUSION: COX-2 immunoexpression occurs frequently in primary gastric carcinomas, but higher expression of this enzyme is observed in lymph node metastases of the diffuse histotype. | Paulo RC Almeida Francisco VA Ferreira Cássio C Santos Francisco D Rocha-Filho Raul RP Feitosa Esther AA Falco Belise K Cavada Roberto CP Lima-Júnior Ronaldo A Ribeiro | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,8: | 14 |
| 4 | pRB expression in esophageal mucosa of individuals at high risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus显示文摘AIM: To investigate the pRb expression in a large group of patients with history of chronic exposure to the main risk factors for development of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. METHODS: One hundred and seventy asymptomatic individuals at high risk for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (consumption of more than 80 g of ethanol and 10 cigarettes/d for at least 10 years) underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsies of the esophageal mucosa. As a control group, specimens of esophageal mucosa obtained from 20 healthy subjects were also studied. Immunohistochemical assessment of the tissues was performed using a monoclonal antibody anti-pRB protein. RESULTS: Absence of the pRB staining, indicating loss of RB function, was observed in 33 (19.4%) of the individuals at risk for esophageal cancer, but in none of the healthy controls (P < 0.02). Loss of pRb expression increased in a stepwise fashion according to the severity of the histological findings (P < 0.005): normal mucosa (11/97 or 11.3%), chronic esophagitis (17/60 or 28.3%), low-grade dysplasia (3/10 or 30%), high-grade dysplasia 1/2 or 50%) and squamous cell carcinoma (1/1 or 100%). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that abnormal expression of the pRB protein may be implicated in the process of esophageal carcinogenesis. Additional studies are warranted to define the role of the pRBprotein as a biomarker for development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in individuals at high risk for this malignancy. | Simone S Contu Paulo C Contu Daniel C Damin Renato B Fagundes Fabiano Bevilacqua Aline S Rosa Joo C Prolla Luis F Moreira | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,11: | 5 |
| 5 | Potential role of Limosilactobacillus fermentum as a probiotic with anti-diabetic properties: A review显示文摘Oxidative stress,inflammation,and gut microbiota impairments have been implicated in the development and maintenance of diabetes mellitus.Strategies capable of recovering the community of commensal gut microbiota and controlling diabetes mellitus have increased in recent years.Some lactobacilli strains have an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory system capable of protecting against oxidative stress,inflammation,and diabetes mellitus.Experimental studies and some clinical trials have demonstrated that Limosilactobacillus fermentum strains can beneficially modulate the host antioxidant and anti-inflammatory system,resulting in the amelioration of glucose homeostasis in diabetic conditions.This review presents and discusses the currently available studies on the identification of Limosilactobacillus fermentum strains with anti-diabetic properties,their sources,range of dosage,and the intervention time in experiments with animals and clinical trials.This review strives to serve as a relevant and well-cataloged reference of Limosilactobacillus fermentum strains capable of inducing anti-diabetic effects and promoting health benefits. | Diego Cabral Lacerda Paulo César Trindade da Costa Paula Brielle Pontes Lucas Alves Carneiro dos Santos JoséPatrocínio Ribeiro Cruz Neto Cristiane Cosmo Silva Luis Vanessa Polyana de Sousa Brito JoséLuiz de Brito Alves | 2022 | World Journal of Diabetes2022,13,9: | 3 |
| 6 | Juvenile hemochromatosis:HAMP mutation and severe iron overload treated with phlebotomies and deferasirox显示文摘Juvenile hemochromatosis(JH) is a rare condition classified as an autosomal recessive disorder that leads to severe iron absorption. JH usually affects people under the age of 30 and presents symptoms such as chronic liver damage,hypogonadotropic hypogonadism,cardiac diseases and endocrine dysfunctions. The present case reports a 29-year-old Brazilian woman with JH condition due to HAMP mutation(g.47G>A),treated with phlebotomies and deferasirox. She presented symptoms such as weakness,skin hyperpigmentation,joint pain in the shoulders and hands and amenorrhea. First laboratory tests showed altered biochemical parameters [serum ferritin(SF): 5696 ng/mL,transferrin saturation(TS): 85%]. After sessions of phlebotomies(450 mL every 15 d),the patient presented partial symptomatic improvements and biochemical parameters(SF: 1000 ng/mL,Hb: 11 g/dL). One year later,deferasirox(15 mg/kg per day) was introduced to the treatment,and the patient showed total symptomatic improvement,with significant clearing of the skin,SF: 169 ng/mL,and TS: 50%. Furthermore,after the combined deferasirox-phlebotomy therapy,magnetic resonance imaging measurements revealed normalized level for liver iron(30 μmol/g; reference value < 36 μmol/g). In conclusion,combined deferasirox-phlebotomy treatment was able to normalize iron levels and improve symptoms. | Manuel A Lescano Letícia C Tavares Paulo C J L Santos | 2017 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2017,5,10: | 2 |
| 7 | Identification of patients at-risk for Lynch syndrome in a hospital-based colorectal surgery clinic显示文摘AIM:To determine the prevalence of a family history suggestive of Lynch syndrome (LS) among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) followed in a coloproctology outpatient clinic in Southern Brazil.METHODS:A consecutive sample of patients with CRC were interviewed regarding personal and family histories of cancer.Clinical data and pathology features of the tumor were obtained from chart review.RESULTS:Of the 212 CRC patients recruited,61 (29%) reported a family history of CRC,45 (21.2%) were diagnosed under age 50 years and 11 (5.2%) had more than one primary CRC.Family histories consistent with Amsterdam and revised Bethesda criteria for LS were identified in 22 (10.4%) and 100 (47.2%) patients,respectively.Twenty percent of the colorectal tumors had features of the high microsatellite instability phenotype,which was associated with younger age at CRC diagnosis and with Bethesda criteria (P < 0.001).Only 5.3% of the patients above age 50 years had been previously submitted for CRC screening and only 4% of patients with suspected LS were referred for genetic risk assessment.CONCLUSION:A significant proportion of patients with CRC were at high risk for LS.Education and training of health care professionals are essential to ensure proper management. | Patrícia Koehler-Santos Patricia Izetti Jamile Abud Carlos Eduardo Pitroski Silvia Liliana Cossio Suzi Alves Camey Cláudio Tarta Daniel C Damin Paulo Carvalho Contu Mario Antonello Rosito Patricia Ashton-Prolla Joāo Carlos Prolla | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,6: | 2 |
