| 2 | Foveal avascular zone area and parafoveal vessel density measurements in different stages of diabetic retinopathy by optical coherence tomography angiography显示文摘AIM:To investigate foveal avascular zone(FAZ) and parafoveal vessel densities(PRVD) by means of optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA) in diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy(DR) and to assess the reproducibility of FAZ and PRVD measurements.METHODS:Sixty diabetic patients(60 eyes) with different stage of DR(graded according to the International Clinical Severity Scale for DR) and 20 healthy subjects underwent FAZ area and PRVD measurements using OCTA by two experienced examiners.FAZ area in all patients was also assessed using fluorescein angiography(FA).RESULTS:In subject with proliferative DR and with moderate-severe non proliferative DR,FAZ area was significantly increased compared to healthy controls(P=0.025 and P=0.050 respectively measured with OCTA and P=0.025 and P=0.048 respectively measured with FA).OCTA showed significantly less inter-observer variability compared to FA.Concordance correlation coefficient(CCC) for FAZ area measurements was 0.829(95%CI:0.736-0.891) P<0.001 with FA and 1.000(95%CI:0.999-1.000) P<0.001 with OCTA.CCC was 0.834(95%CI:0.746-0.893) P<0.001 and 0.890(95%CI:0.828-0.930) P<0.001 for parafoveal superficial and deep vessel density measurements,respectively.CONCLUSION:OCTA shows progressive increase of FAZ area and reduction of PRVD in both superficial and deep plexus at increasing DR severity.FAZ area and PRVD measurements using OCTA are highly reproducible. | Rodolfo Mastropasqua Lisa Toto Alessandra Mastropasqua Raffaella Aloia Chiara De Nicola Peter A Mattei Guido Di Marzio Marta Di Nicola Luca Di Antonio | 2017 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2017,10,10: | 26 |
| 3 | Increased susceptibility for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and contraceptive-induced cholestasis in carriers of the 1331T>C polymorphism in the bile salt export pump显示文摘AIM: To study the association of three common ABCB11 and ABCC2 polymorphisms (ABCB11: 1331T>C V444A; ABCC2: 3563T>A V1188E and 4544G>A C1515Y) with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and contraceptive-induced cholestasis (CIC). METHODS: ABCB11 and ABCC2 genotyping data were available from four CIC patients and from 42 and 33 ICP patients, respectively. Allele-frequencies of the studied polymorphisms were compared with those in healthy pregnant controls and Caucasian individuals. Furthermore, serum bile acid levels were correlated with the presence or absence of the 1331 C allele.RESULTS: The ABCB11 1331T>C polymorphism was significantly more frequent in cholestatic patients than in pregnant controls: C allele 76.2% (CI, 58.0-94.4) vs 51.3% (CI 35.8-66.7), respectively (P = 0.0007); and CC allele 57.1% (CI 36.0-78.3) vs 20% (CI 7.6-32.4), respectively (P = 0.0065). All four CIC patients were homozygous carriers of the C allele. In contrast, none of the studied ABCC2 polymorphism was overrepresented in ICP or CIC patients. Higher serum bile acid levels were found in carriers of the 1331CC genotype compared to carriers of the TT genotype.CONCLUSION: Our data support a role for the ABCB11 1331T>C polymorphism as a susceptibility factor for the ←←← development of estrogen-induced cholestasis, whereas no such association was found for ABCC2. Serum bile acid and γ-glutamyl transferase levels might help to distinguish ABCB4- and ABCB11-related forms of ICP and CIC. | Yvonne Meier Tina Zodan Carmen Lang Roland Zimmermann Gerd A Kullak-Ublick Peter J Meier Bruno Stieger Christiane Pauli-Magnus | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,1: | 20 |

| 5 | Diagnostic and prognostic potential of tissue and circulating long non-coding RNAs in colorectal tumors显示文摘Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs)are members of the non-protein coding RNA family longer than 200 nucleotides.They participate in the regulation of gene and protein expression influencing apoptosis,cell proliferation and immune responses,thereby playing a critical role in the development and progression of various cancers,including colorectal cancer(CRC).As CRC is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide with high mortality,its screening and early detection are crucial,so the identification of disease-specific biomarkers is necessary.LncRNAs are promising candidates as they are involved in carcinogenesis,and certain lncRNAs(e.g.,CCAT1,CRNDE,CRCAL1-4)show altered expression in adenomas,making them potential early diagnostic markers.In addition to being useful as tissue-specific markers,analysis of circulating lncRNAs(e.g.,CCAT1,CCAT2,BLACAT1,CRNDE,NEAT1,UCA1)in peripheral blood offers the possibility to establish minimally invasive,liquid biopsy-based diagnostic tests.This review article aims to describe the origin,structure,and functions of lncRNAs and to discuss their contribution to CRC development.Moreover,our purpose is to summarise lncRNAs showing altered expression levels during tumor formation in both colon tissue and plasma/serum samples and to demonstrate their clinical implications as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for CRC. | Orsolya Galamb Barbara K Barták Alexandra Kalmár Zsófia B Nagy Krisztina A Szigeti Zsolt Tulassay Peter Igaz Béla Molnár | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,34: | 18 |
| 6 | Proposal of an ultrasonographic classification for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis: Echinococcosis multilocularis Ulm classification-ultrasound显示文摘AIM: To establish an ultrasonographic classification based on a large sample of patients with confirmed hepatic alveolar echinococcosis(AE).METHODS: Clinical data and ultrasonography(US) findings of 185 patients(100 males; 85 females; mean age at diagnosis: 51.4 ± 17.6 years; mean age at time of US examination: 58.7 ± 18.2 years) were retrospectively reviewed with respect to the US morphology of hepatic AE lesions. The sonomorphological findings were grouped according to a five-part classification scheme.RESULTS: Application of the new classification resulted in the following distribution of sonomorphological patterns among the patients examined: hailstorm(54.1%); pseudocystic(13.5%); ossification(13.0%); hemangioma-like(8.1%); and metastasis-like(6.5%). Only 4.9% of lesions could not be assigned to a sonomorphological pattern.CONCLUSION: The sonomorphological classification proposed in the present study facilitates the diagnosis,interpretation and comparison of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis in routine practice and in the context of scientific studies. | Wolfgang Kratzer Beate Gruener Tanja EM Kaltenbach Sarina Ansari-Bitzenberger Peter Kern Michael Fuchs Richard A Mason Thomas FE Barth Mark M Haenle Andreas Hillenbrand Suemeyra Oeztuerk Tilmann Graeter | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,43: | 16 |
| 7 | Are there new approaches for diagnosis, therapy guidance and outcome prediction of sepsis?显示文摘Beside many efforts to improve outcome, sepsis is still one of the most frequent causes of death in critically ill patients. It is the most common condition with high mortality in intensive care units. The complexity of the septic syndrome comprises immunological aspects- i.e.,sepsis induced immunosuppression- but is not restricted to this fact in modern concepts. So far, exact mechanisms and variables determining outcome and mortality stay unclear. Since there is no typical risk profile, early diagnosis and risk stratification remain difficult, which hinders rapid and effective treatment initiation. Due to the heterogeneous nature of sepsis, potential therapy options should be adapted to the individual. Biomarkers like C-reactive protein and procalcitonin are routinely used as complementary tools in clinical decision-making. Beyond the acute phase proteins, a wide bunch of promising substances and non-laboratory tools with potential diagnostic and prognostic value is under intensive investigation. So far, clinical decision just based on biomarker assessment is not yet feasible. However, biomarkers should be considered as a complementary approach. | Dubravka Kojic Benedikt H Siegler Florian Uhle Christoph Lichtenstern Peter P Nawroth Markus A Weigand Stefan Hofer Thorsten Brenner | 2015 | World Journal of Experimental Medicine2015,5,2: | 14 |

| 10 | Predictive value of multi-detector computed tomography for accurate diagnosis of serous cystadenoma:Radiologic-pathologic correlation显示文摘AIM:To identify multi-detector computed tomography(MDCT) features most predictive of serous cystadenomas(SCAs),correlating with histopathology,and to study the impact of cyst size and MDCT technique on reader performance.METHODS:The MDCT scans of 164 patients with surgically verified pancreatic cystic lesions were reviewed by two readers to study the predictive value of various morphological features for establishing a diagnosis of SCAs.Accuracy in lesion characterization and reader conf idence were correlated with lesion size(≤3cm or≥3cm) and scanning protocols(dedicated vs routine).RESULTS:28/164 cysts(mean size,39 mm;range,8-92mm) were diagnosed as SCA on pathology.The MDCT features predictive of diagnosis of SCA were microcystic appearance(22/28,78.6%),surface lobulations(25/28,89.3%) and central scar(9/28,32.4%).Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that only microcystic appearance was signifi cant for CT diagnosis of SCA(P=0.0001).The sensitivity,specificity and PPV of central scar and of combined microcystic appearance and lobulations were 32.4%/100%/100% and 68%/100%/100%,respectively.The reader confidence was higher for lesions>3cm(P=0.02) and for MDCT scans performed using thin collimation(1.25-2.5mm) compared to routine 5 mm collimation exams(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Central scar on MDCT is diagnostic of SCA but is seen in only one third of SCAs.Microcystic morphology is the most significant CT feature in diagnosis of SCA.A combination of microcystic appearance and surface lobulations offers accuracy comparable to central scar with higher sensitivity. | Anjuli A Shah Nisha I Sainani Avinash Kambadakone Ramesh Zarine K Shah Vikram Deshpande Peter F Hahn Dushyant V Sahani | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,22: | 11 |

| 12 | Surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic liver disease:Evidence and controversies显示文摘Primary liver cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world and the third cause of cancer-related death.Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)represents more than90%of primary liver cancers and generally occurs in patients with underlying chronic liver disease such as viral hepatitis,hemochromatosis,primary biliary cirrhosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.Especially cirrhotic patients are at risk of HCC and regular surveillance could enable early detection and therapy,with potentially improved outcome.We here summarize existing evidence for surveillance including ultrasound,other radiological modalities and various serum biomarkers,and current international guideline recommendations for surveillance.Ultrasound andα-fetoprotein(alone or in combination)are most frequently used for surveillance,but their sensitivities and specificities are still far from perfect,and evidence for surveillance remains weak and controversial.Various other potential surveillance tools have been tested,including serum markers as des-carboxyprothrombin,lectin-boundα-fetoprotein,and(most recently)circulating TIE2-expressing monocytes,and radiological investigations such as computed tomographyscan or magnetic resonance imaging-scan.Although early results appear promising,these tools have generally been tested in diagnostic rather than surveillance setting,and in most cases,no detailed information is available on their cost-effectiveness.For the near future,it remains important to define those patients with highest risk of HCC and most benefit from surveillance,and to restrict surveillance to these categories. | Suzanne van Meer Robert A de Man Peter D Siersema Karel J van Erpecum | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,40: | 10 |
| 13 | Inflammatory bowel disease serology in Asia and the West显示文摘AIM:To study serological antibodies in Caucasians and Asians,in health and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),in Australia and Hong Kong(HK).METHODS:Anti-glycan antibodies[anti-chitobioside(ACCA),anti-laminaribioside(ALCA)],and anti-mannobioside(AMCA),anti-Saccharomyces cervisiae(gASCA);and atypical perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(pANCA)were tested in IBD patients,their unaffected relatives,and healthy controls in Australia and HK(China).Antibody status(positive or negative)and titre was compared between subjects of different geography,ethnicity and disease state.RESULTS:Ninety subjects were evaluated:21 Crohn’s disease(CD),32 ulcerative colitis(UC),29 healthy controls,and 8 IBD patient relatives.Forty eight subjects were Australian(29 Caucasian and 19 ethnic Han Chinese)and 42 were from HK(all Han Chinese).Caucasian CD patients had a significantly higher antibody prevalence of gASCA(67%vs 3%,P<0.001),ALCA(44%vs 6%,P=0.005),and AMCA(67%vs 15%,P=0.002),whereas HK CD patients had a higher prevalence of only AMCA(58%vs 25%,P=0.035),when compared with UC and healthy subjects in both countries.Caucasian CD had significantly higher gASCA prevalence(67%vs 0%,P<0.001)and titre(median59 vs 9,P=0.002)than HK CD patients.Prevalence and titres of ALCA,ACCA and AMCA did not differ between CD in the two countries.Presence of at least one antibody was higher in Caucasian than HK CD patients(100%vs 58%,P=0.045).pANCA did not differ between countries or ethnicity.CONCLUSION:Serologic CD responses differ between HK Asian and Australian Caucasian patients.Different genetic,environmental or disease pathogenic factors may account for these differences. | Lani Prideaux Michael A Kamm Peter De Cruz Daniel R van Langenberg Siew C Ng Iris Dotan | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,37: | 10 |

| 15 | Therapeutic potential of targeting the renin angiotensin system in portal hypertension显示文摘Portal hypertension is responsible for the bulk of the morbidity and mortality in patients with cirrhosis.Drug therapy to reduce portal pressure involves targeting two vascular beds.The first approach is to reduce intra hepatic vascular tone induced by the activity of powerful vasocontrictors such as angiotensin Ⅱ,endothelin-1 and the sympathetic system and mediated via contraction of perisinusoidal myofibroblasts and pervascular smooth muscle cells.The second approach is to reduce mesenteric and portal blood flow.Non-selective b-blockers are widely used and have been shown to prolong patient survival and reduce oesophageal variceal bleeding in advanced cirrhosis.However many patients are unable to tolerate these drugs and they are ineffective in a significant proportion of patients.Unfortunately there are no other drug therapies that have proven efficacy in the treatment of portal hypertension and prevention of variceal bleeding.This review briefly outlines current therapeutic approaches to themanagement of portal hypertension,and the evidence supporting the role of the renin angiotensin system(RAS) and the use of RAS blockers in this condition.It will also outline recent advances in RAS research that could lead to the development of new treatments focusing in particular on the recently discovered 'alternate axis' of the RAS. | Chandana B Herath Josephine A Grace Peter W Angus | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2013,4,1: | 9 |
| 16 | 正常人额面QRS电轴的年龄趋势以及对肢体导联QRS波振幅的影响显示文摘目的调查和评估正常人额面QRS电轴的年龄趋势以及对肢体导联QRS波振幅的影响。方法采集5360例(男性3614例、女性1746例,年龄范围18~84岁)正常健康人12导联心电图分为5个年龄组,计算和分析各年龄组额面QRS电轴的中位数以及肢体导联QRS波振幅的中位数和96%的正常范围上、下限。结果随年龄增长,男、女额面QRS中位数电轴一致性地逐渐向左(上)偏移大约27°(从70°偏移到43°,P<0.001)。Ⅰ和aVL导联的R波振幅随年龄增长显著增加(P<0.001),而下壁导联Ⅱ、Ⅲ和aVF的R波振幅随年龄增长显著降低(P>0.001)。肢体导联R波振幅随年龄的变化趋势与额面QRS电轴的年龄趋势相一致。结论正常人额面QRS电轴随年龄增长逐渐向左(上)偏移,呈现明确的年龄趋势。QRS电轴的生理性演变可引起肢体导联QRS波振幅呈现明显的年龄差异。显然,把一个相同的左心室肥大心电图诊断标准应用到不同年龄组人群是不合适的。 | 吴杰 Jan A Kors Peter R Rijnbeek Gerard van Herpen 徐春芳 陆再英 | 2006 | 中华心律失常学杂志2006,10,3: | 8 |

| 18 | Association between calcium sensing receptor gene polymorphisms and chronic pancreatitis in a US population:Role of serine protease inhibitor Kazal 1type and alcohol显示文摘AIM: To test the hypothesis that calcium sensing receptor (CASR) polymorphisms are associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP), and to determine whether serine protease inhibitor Kazal 1type (SPINK1) N34S oralcohol are necessary co-factors in its etiology. METHODS: Initially, 115 subjects with pancreatitis and 66 controls were evaluated, of whom 57 patients and 21 controls were predetermined to carry the high-risk SPINK1 N34S polymorphism. We sequenced CASR gene exons 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, areas containing the majority of reported polymorphisms and novel mutations. Based on the initial results, we added 223 patients and 239 controls to analyze three common nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 7 (A986S, R990G, and Q1011E). RESULTS: The CASR exon 7 R990G polymorphism was signifi cantly associated with CP (OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.12-3.59; P = 0.015). The association between CASR R990G and CP was stronger in subjects who reported moderate or heavy alcohol consumption (OR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.14-9.13; P = 0.018). There was no association between the various CASR genotypes and SPINK1 N34S in pancreatitis. None of the novel CASR polymorphisms reported from Germany and India was detected. CONCLUSION: Our United States-based study confirmed an association of CASR and CP and for the first time demonstrated that CASR R990G is a signifi cant risk factor for CP. We also conclude that the risk of CP with CASR R990G is increased in subjects with moderate to heavy alcohol consumption. | Venkata Muddana Janette Lamb Julia B Greer Beth Elinoff Robert H Hawes Peter B Cotton Michelle A Anderson Randall E Brand Adam Slivka David C Whitcomb | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,28: | 7 |
| 19 | Paediatric cholestatic liver disease:Diagnosis,assessment of disease progression and mechanisms of fibrogenesis显示文摘Cholestatic liver disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in children.The diagnosis and management of these diseases can be complicated by an inability to detect early stages of fibrosis and a lack of adequate interventional therapy.There is no single gold standard test that accurately reflects the presence of liver disease,or that can be used to monitor fibrosis progression,particularly in conditions such as cystic fibrosis.This has lead to controversy over how suspected liver disease in children is detected and diagnosed.This review discusses the challenges in using commonly available methods to diagnose hepatic fibrosis and monitor disease progression in children with cholestatic liver disease.In addition,the review examines the mechanisms hypothesised to be involved in the development of hepatic fibrogenesis in paediatric cholestatic liver injury which may ultimately aid in identifying new modalities to assist in both disease detection and therapeutic intervention. | Tamara N Pereira Meagan J Walsh Peter J Lewindon Grant A Ramm | 2010 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2010,1,2: | 7 |
| 20 | Retrograde-viewing device improves adenoma detection rate in colonoscopies for surveillance and diagnostic workup显示文摘AIM:To determine which patients might benefit most from retrograde viewing during colonoscopy through subset analysis of randomized,controlled trial data.METHODS:The Third Eye Retroscope Randomized Clinical Evaluation(TERRACE) was a randomized,controlled,multicenter trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of a retrograde-viewing auxiliary imaging device that is used during colonoscopy to provide a second video image which allows viewing of areas on the proximal aspect of haustral folds and flexures that are difficult to see with the colonoscope's forward view.We performed a post-hoc analysis of the TERRACE data to determine whether certain subsets of the patient population would gain more benefit than others from use of the device.Subjects were patients scheduled for colonoscopy for screening,surveillance or diagnostic workup,and each underwent same-day tandem examinations with standard colonoscopy(SC) and Third Eye colonoscopy(TEC),randomized to SC followed by TEC or vice versa.RESULTS:Indication for colonoscopy was screening in 176/345 subjects(51.0%),surveillance after previous polypectomy in 87(25.2%) and diagnostic workup in 82(23.8%).In 4 subjects no indication was specified.Previously reported overall results had shown a net additional adenoma detection rate(ADR) with TEC of 23.2% compared to SC.Relative risk(RR) of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC as the initial procedure was 1.92(P = 0.029).Post-hoc subset analysis shows additional ADRs for TEC compared to SC were 4.4% for screening,35.7% for surveillance,55.4% for diagnostic and 40.7% for surveillance and diagnostic combined.The RR of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC was 1.11(P = 0.815) for screening,3.15(P = 0.014) for surveillance,8.64(P = 0.039) for diagnostic and 3.34(P = 0.003) for surveillance and diagnostic combined.Although a multivariate Poisson regression suggested gender as a possibly significant factor,subset analysis showed that the difference between genders was not statistically significant.Age,bowel prep quality and withdrawal time did not significantly affect the RR of missing adenomas with SC vs TEC.Mean sizes of adenomas detected with TEC and SC were similar at 0.59 cm and 0.56 cm,respectively(P = NS).CONCLUSION:TEC allows detection of significantly more adenomas compared to SC in patients undergoing surveillance or diagnostic workup,but not in screening patients(ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT01044732). | Peter D Siersema Amit Rastogi Anke M Leufkens Paul A Akerman Kassem Azzouzi Richard I Rothstein Frank P Vleggaar Alessandro Repici Giacomo Rando Patrick I Okolo Olivier Dewit Ana Ignjatovic Elizabeth Odstrcil James East Pierre H Deprez Brian P Saunders Anthony N Kalloo Bradley Creel Vikas Singh Anne Marie Lennon Daniel C DeMarco | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,26: | 6 |
