| 1 | Present and future possibilities for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) represents the fifth most common cancer in the world,and the third most frequent oncological cause of death.The incidence of HCC is on the increase.HCC typically develops in patients with chronic liver diseases,and cirrhosis,usually with viral etiology,is the strongest predisposing factor.Nowadays HCC diagnosis is a multistage process including clinical,laboratory,imaging and pathological examinations.The prognosis of HCC is mostly poor,because of detection at an advanced,non-resectable stage.Potentially curative treatment(surgery) is limited and really possible only for cases with small HCC malignancies.For this reason,more effective surveillance strategies should be used to screen for early occurrence of HCC targeted to the population at risk.So far,the generally accepted serological marker is α-fetoprotein(AFP).Its diagnostic accuracy is unsatisfactory and questionable because of low sensitivity,therefore there is a strong demand by clinicians for new HCC-specific biomarkers.In this review,we will focus on other biomarkers that seem to improve HCC diagnosis,such as AFP-L3,des-γ-carboxyprothrombin,α-l-fucosidase,,γ-glutamyl transferase,glypican-3,squamous cell carcinoma antigen,a new generation of immunoglobulin M-immunocomplexes,and very promising geneexpression profiling. | Piotr Stefaniuk Janusz Cianciara Alicja Wiercinska-Drapalo | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,4: | 109 |

| 3 | Endoscopic submucosal dissection for the treatment of neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract显示文摘AIM: To investigate the indications, resection rate, and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract at a European referral center. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective analysis of the ESD procedures performed in our center for mucosal neoplastic and submucosal lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. The duration of the procedure, en bloc and complete (R0) resection rates, and complication rates were evaluated. Variables were reported as mean ± SD or simple proportions. Univariate analysis and comparisons of procedure times and resection rates were performed using Mann-Whitney U tests, or χ2 tests for dichotomous variables.RESULTS: Between 2007 and 2011, ESD was performed in a total of 103 patients (46.7% male, mean age 64.0 ± 12.7 years). The indications for the procedure were epithelial tumor (n = 54), submucosal tumor (n = 42), or other (n = 7). The total en bloc resection rate was 90.3% (93/103) and R0 resection rate 80.6% (83/103). The median speed of the procedure was 15.0 min/cm2 . The complete resection rate was lower for submucosal tumors arising from the muscle layer (68%, 15/22, P < 0.05). Resection speed was quicker for submucosal tumors localized in the submucosal layer than for lesions arising from the muscularis propria layer (8.1 min/cm 2 vs 17.9 min/cm 2 , P < 0.05). The R0 resection rate and speed were better in the last 24 mo (90.1%, 49/54 and 15.3 min/cm 2 ) compared to the first 3 years of treatment (73.5%, 36/49, P < 0.05 and 22.0 min/cm2 , P < 0.05). Complications occurred in 14.6% (n = 15) of patients, including perforation in 5.8% (n = 6), pneumoperitoneum in 3.9% (n = 4), delayed bleeding in 1.9% (n = 2), and other in 2.9% (n = 3). Only one patient with delayed perforation required surgical treatment. During the mean follow-up of 26 ± 15.3 mo, among patients with R0 resection, recurrence occurred in one patient (1.2%).CONCLUSION: ESD is an effective and safe method for resection of neoplastic lesions with low recurrence. Speed and the R0 resection rate increased after 50 procedures. | Andrzej Biaek Anna Wiechowska-Kozowska Jan Pertkiewicz Katarzyna Karpińska Wojciech Marlicz Piotr Milkiewicz Teresa Starzyńska | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,12: | 21 |
| 4 | Nodular regenerative hyperplasia:Evolving concepts on underdiagnosed cause of portal hypertension显示文摘Nodular regenerative hyperplasia(NRH)is a rare liver condition characterized by a widespread benign transformation of the hepatic parenchyma into small regenerative nodules.NRH may lead to the development of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension.There are no published systematic population studies on NRH and our current knowledge is limited to case reports and case series.NRH may develop via autoimmune,hematological,infectious,neoplastic,or drug-related causes.The disease is usually asymptomatic,slowly or nonprogressive unless complications of portal hypertension develop.Accurate diagnosis is made by histopathology,which demonstrates diffuse micronodular transformation without fibrous septa.Lack of perinuclear collagen tissue distinguishes NRH from typical regenerative nodules in the cirrhotic liver.While the initial treatment is to address the underlying disease,ultimately the therapy is directed to the management of portal hypertension.The prognosis of NRH depends on both the severity of the underlying illness and the prevention of secondary complications of portal hypertension.In this review we detail the epidemiology,pathogenesis,diagnosis,management,and prognosis of NRH. | Marek Hartleb Krzysztof Gutkowski Piotr Milkiewicz | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,11: | 16 |
| 5 | Serum and urine metabolomic fingerprinting in diagnostics of inflammatory bowel diseases显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the utility of serum and urine metabolomic analysis in diagnosing and monitoring of inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD).METHODS:Serum and urine samples were collected from 24 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC),19 patients with the Crohn’s disease(CD)and 17 healthy controls.The activity of UC was assessed with the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index,while the activity of CD was determined using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index.The analysis of serum and urine samples was performed using proton nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy.All spectra were exported to Matlab for preprocessing which resulted in two data matrixes for serum and urine.Prior to the chemometric analysis,both data sets were unit variance scaled.The differences in metabolite fingerprints were assessed using partial least-squaresdiscriminant analysis(PLS-DA).Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under curves were used to evaluate the quality and prediction performance of the obtained PLS-DA models.Metabolites responsible for separation in models were tested using STATISTICA10 with the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test and the Student’s t test(α=0.05).RESULTS:The comparison between the group of patients with active IBD and the group with IBD in remission provided good PLS-DA models(P value 0.002for serum and 0.003 for urine).The metabolites that allowed to distinguish these groups were:N-acetylated compounds and phenylalanine(up-regulated in serum),low-density lipoproteins and very low-density lipoproteins(decreased in serum)as well as glycine(increased in urine)and acetoacetate(decreased in urine).The significant differences in metabolomic profiles were also found between the group of patients with active IBD and healthy control subjects providing the PLS-DA models with a very good separation(P value<0.001 for serum and 0.003 for urine).The metabolites that were found to be the strongest biomarkers included in this case:leucine,isoleucine,3-hydroxybutyric acid,N-acetylated compounds,acetoacetate,glycine,phenylalanine and lactate(increased in serum),creatine,dimethyl sulfone,histidine,choline and its derivatives(decreased in serum),as well as citrate,hippurate,trigonelline,taurine,succinate and 2-hydroxyisobutyrate(decreased in urine).No clear separation in PLS-DA models was found between CD and UC patients based on the analysis of serum and urine samples,although one metabolite(formate)in univariate statistical analysis was significantly lower in serum of patients with active CD,and two metabolites(alanine and N-acetylated compounds)were significantly higher in serum of patients with CD when comparing jointly patients in the remission and active phase of the diseases.Contrary to the results obtained from the serum samples,the analysis of urine samples allowed to distinguish patients with IBD in remission from healthy control subjects.The metabolites of importance included in this case up-regulated acetoacetate and down-regulated citrate,hippurate,taurine,succinate,glycine,alanine and formate.CONCLUSION:NMR-based metabolomic fingerprinting of serum and urine has the potential to be a useful tool in distinguishing patients with active IBD from those in remission. | Tomasz Dawiskiba Stanislaw Deja Agata Mulak Adam Zabek Ewa Jawień Dorota Pawelka Miroslaw Banasik Agnieszka Mastalerz-Migas Waldemar Balcerzak Krzysztof Kaliszewski Jan Skóra Piotr Bar Krzysztof Korta Kornel Pormańczuk Przemyslaw Szyber Adam Litarski Piotr Mlynarz | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,1: | 15 |

| 9 | A comprehensive geomechanical method for the assessment of rockburst hazards in underground mining显示文摘Rockburst hazard in mining industry all over the world is one of the most severe hazards. It is becoming increasingly common because of the ever-growing depths of mining operations accompanied by the increasing strength of rocks. One of the most difficult issues is to predict this hazard before the mining operations, whether geophysical investigations have been conducted or not. Polish experience in this field shows that in such cases an effective solution can be the geomechanical method. Therefore, extensive studies on rockburst hazard should focus on three main aspects:(1) rock mass and rock(and coal)predisposition to rockburst–laboratory tests and empirical analyses based on lithology,(2) identification of the potential places with stress and elastic energy concentration in the rock mass within the area planned for exploitation, and(3) the assessment of the impact of mining tremors on the surface. This preliminary geomechanical analysis assesses the propensity of the rock mass to dynamic breakage and provides quantitatively the level of rockburst hazard. The paper presents Polish experience in rockburst hazard assessment with the use of geomechanical method, as well as some solutions and examples of such analyses. | Piotr Malkowski Zbigniew Niedbalski | 2020 | International Journal of Mining Science and Technology2020,30,3: | 14 |

| 11 | 树木年代学在高寒山区泥石流历史事件重建中的应用——以磨西河流域倒灶沟为例显示文摘如何确定人类历史活动稀少、植被覆盖率较高的高寒山区泥石流历史活动次数及时间较为困难。树木年代学分析方法可通过树木年轮生长变化对泥石流活动的响应特征,重建过去一定时间内的泥石流历史活动事件。通过对我国四川省境内贡嘎山东坡磨西河流域内倒灶沟泥石流堆积扇上140个桤木的树木年轮样本取样及树木年代学分析,重建了该沟在过去20 a间的2次较大规模泥石流活动事件(分别为1996年和2005年)和5次小规模洪水(或泥石流)事件。研究结果表明,在过去20 a间,倒灶沟大规模泥石流每隔约10 a便会发生一次,而小规模的泥石流或洪水则每隔2~3 a便会发生一次。同时,研究还发现,磨西河流域内泥石流堆积扇上有利于类似桤木生长特征的树种生长(最大树木年轮可达1.4 cm),为该地区泥石流生物防治工程中优势树种的选择提供了科学依据。 | 铁永波 Ireneusz Malik Piotr Owczarek | 2014 | 山地学报2014,32,2: | 13 |
| 12 | The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP显示文摘In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the dynamics of matter in strong-field gravity. In addition to investigating fundamental physics, eXTP will be a very powerful observatory for astrophysics that will provide observations of unprecedented quality on a variety of galactic and extragalactic objects. In particular, its wide field monitoring capabilities will be highly instrumental to detect the electro-magnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources.The paper provides a detailed description of:(1) the technological and technical aspects, and the expected performance of the instruments of the scientific payload;(2) the elements and functions of the mission, from the spacecraft to the ground segment. | ShuangNan Zhang Andrea Santangelo Marco Feroci YuPeng Xu FangJun Lu Yong Chen Hua Feng Shu Zhang Sφren Brandt Margarita Hernanz Luca Baldini Enrico Bozzo Riccardo Campana Alessandra De Rosa YongWei Dong Yuri Evangelista Vladimir Karas Norbert Meidinger Aline Meuris Kirpal Nandra Teng Pan Giovanni Pareschi Piotr Orleanski QiuShi Huang Stephane Schanne Giorgia Sironi Daniele Spiga Jiri Svoboda Gianpiero Tagliaferri Christoph Tenzer Andrea Vacchi Silvia Zane Dave Walton ZhanShan Wang Berend Winter Xin Wu Jean J.M.in't Zand Mahdi Ahangarianabhari Giovanni Ambrosi Filippo Ambrosino Marco Barbera Stefano Basso Jörg Bayer Ronaldo Bellazzini Pierluigi Bellutti Bruna Bertucci Giuseppe Bertuccio Giacomo Borghi XueLei Cao Franck Cadoux Francesco Ceraudo TianXiang Chen Yu Peng Chen Jerome Chevenez Marta Civitani Wei Cui WeiWei Cui Thomas Dauser Ettore Del Monte Sergio Di Cosimo Sebastian Diebold Victor Doroshenko Michal Dovciak YuanYuan Du Lorenzo Ducci QingMei Fan Yannick Favre Fabio Fuschino JoséLuis Ga'lvez Min Gao MingYu Ge Olivier Gevin Marco Grassi QuanYing Gu YuDong Gu DaWei Han Bin Hong Wei Hu Long Ji ShuMei Jia WeiChun Jiang Thomas Kennedy Ingo Kreykenbohm Irfan Kuvvetli Claudio Labanti Luca Latronico Gang Li MaoShun Li Xian Li Wei Li ZhengWei Li Olivier Limousin HongWei Liu XiaoJing Liu Bo Lu Tao Luo Daniele Macera Piero Malcovati Adrian Martindale Malgorzata Michalska Bin Meng Massimo Minuti Alfredo Morbidini Fabio Muleri Stephane Paltani Emanuele Perinati Antonino Picciotto Claudio Piemonte JinLu Qu Alexandre Rachevski Irina Rashevskaya Jerome Rodriguez Thomas Schanz ZhengXiang Shen LiZhi Sheng JiangBo Song LiMing Song Carmelo Sgro Liang Sun Ying Tan Phil Uttley Bo Wang DianLong Wang GuoFeng Wang Juan Wang LangPing Wang YuSa Wang Anna L.Watts XiangYang Wen Jörn Wilms ShaoLin Xiong JiaWei Yang Sheng Yang YanJi Yang Nian Yu WenDa Zhang Gianluigi Zampa Nicola Zampa Andrzej A.Zdziarski AiMei Zhang ChengMo Zhang Fan Zhang Long Zhang Tong Zhang Yi Zhang XiaoLi Zhang ZiLiang Zhang BaoSheng Zhao ShiJie Zheng Yu Peng Zhou Nicola Zorzi J.Frans Zwart | 2019 | Science China(Physics,Mechanics & Astronomy)2019,62,2: | 11 |
| 13 | Small bowel tumors detected and missed during capsule endoscopy: Single center experience显示文摘AIM:To characterize small bowel(SB)tumors detected by capsule endoscopy(CE),and identify missed tumors.METHODS:The study included 145 consecutive patients in whom 150 CEs were performed.Following CE,the medical records of the study population were reviewed.Results of double-or single-balloon enteroscopy performed after CE and the results of surgery in all patients operated on were retrieved.The patients were contacted through telephone interviews or postal mail.In addition,the national cancer registry and the polish clinical gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)Registry were searched to identify missed neoplasms.RESULTS:Indications for CE included overt and occult obscure gastrointestinal bleeding(n=81,53.7%),anemia(n=19,12.7%),malabsorption(n=18,12%),abnormal CB follow through(n=9,6%),abdominal pain(n=7,5%),celiac disease(n=5,3%),neuroendocrine tumor(n=3,2%),Crohn’s disease(n=2,<2%),Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(n=2,<2%),other polyposes(n=2,<2%),and diarrhea(n=2,<2%).The capsule reached the colon in 115(76.6%)examinations.In 150 investigations,CE identified 15SB tumors(10%),14 of which were operated on or treated endoscopically.Malignancies included metastatic melanoma(n=1),adenocarcinoma(n=2),and GIST(n=3).Benign neoplasms included dysplastic Peutz-Jeghers polyps(n=4).Non-neoplastic masses included venous malformation(n=1),inflammatory tumors(n=2),and a mass of unknown histology(n=1).During the follow-up period,three additional SB tumors were found(2 GISTs and one mesenteric tumor of undefined nature).The National Cancer Registry and Polish Clinical GIST Registry revealed no additional SB neoplasms in the post-examination period(follow-up:range 4.2-102.5 mo,median 39 mo).The sensitivity of CE for tumor detection was 83.3%,and the negative predictive value was 97.6%.The specificity and positive predictive value were both 100%.CONCLUSION:Neoplasms may be missed by CE,especially in the proximal SB.In overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding,complementary endoscopic and/or radiologic diagnostic tests are indicated. | Edyta S Zagorowicz Anna M Pietrzak Ewa Wronska Jacek Pachlewski Piotr Rutkowski Ewa Kraszewska Jaroslaw Regula | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,47: | 10 |
| 14 | Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver as a rare indication for liver transplantation显示文摘AIM: To investigate the indications and outcomes of liver transplantation for hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(HEHE). METHODS: Between 1989 and August 2013, in the Department of General, Transplant, and Liver Surgery, Medical University of Warsaw, 1306 orthotopic liver transplantations(OLTx) were performed, including 72 retransplantations. Unresectable HEHE was an indication for OLTx in 10 patients(0.8% of primary OLTx), the mean age of the patients was 40.5 ± 13.3 years(range 23-65 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 2:8. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis in HEHE, hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and other OLTx recipients groups was performed. The differences in mortality were compared using the χ2 test. A P-value < 0.05 indicated statistical significance.RESULTS: No concomitant liver disease was found in any patient. There was no neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Liver function test results were normal in most of the patients. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein, carcinoembryonic antigen, and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 were normal. In immunohistochemical staining, the neoplastic cells were positive for factor Ⅷ-related antigen, CD31, and CD34, which are endothelial cell markers, and negative for cytokeratin 19, cytokeratin 7, and HepPar-1. Nine patients were alive without tumor recurrence. One patient died 2 mo after OLTx due to septic complications. No morbidity was observed. Maximum follow-up was 11.4 years, with a minimum of 1 mo. The cumulative survival rate at the end of followup in HEHE patients was 87.5% compared with 54.3% in the HCC group and 76.3% in the other OLTx recipients group(χ2 test = 1.784, df = 2, P = 0.409).CONCLUSION: Unresectable HEHE, without extrahepatic metastases is an excellent indication for liver transplantation. Long-term survival is very good and much better than in HCC patients and the entire group of OLTx patients. | Piotr Remiszewski Ewa Szczerba Piotr Kalinowski Beata Gierej Krzysztof Dudek Mariusz Grodzicki Marcin Kotulski Rafa Paluszkiewicz Waldemar Patkowski Krzysztof Zieniewicz Marek Krawczyk | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 10 |

| 16 | Preoperative high level of D-dimers predicts unresectability of pancreatic head cancer显示文摘AIM: To assess the value of D-dimer level in determining resectability of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Preoperative prediction of pancreatic head cancer resectability remains inaccurate. The use of hemostatic factors may be of potential help, since D-dimers correlate with tumor stage. Single center clinical trial study comprised patients with potentially resectable pancreatic head tumor and without detectable venous thrombosis(n = 64). Resectability was defined as no evidence of nodal involvement, distant spread and no invasion of mesenteric vessels. Final decision of resectability was confirmed intraoperatively. Experienced pancreatic surgeon performed all surgeries. Following the dissection of hepatoduodenal ligament, samples of portal blood and bile were taken. Peripheral blood via central line and urine via Foley catheter were sampled. D-dimer levels were further measured.RESULTS: At laparotomy only 29(45.3%) tumors were found to be resectable. Our analysis showed higher by 57.5%(P < 0.001) mean D-dimer values in peripheral and 43.7%(P = 0.035) in portal blood of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Significant differences were not observed when analyzing D-dimer levels in bile and urine. Peripheral D-dimer level correlated with pancreatic cancer resectability. When cut-off D-dimer value of 570.6 μg/L was used, the sensitivity for assessment of tumor unresectability was 82.8%. Furthermore, D-dimer level in peripheral blood of metastatic disease(n = 15) was significantly higher when compared to locally advanced(n = 20) pancreatic cancer(2470 vs 1168, P = 0.029). The area under ROC curve for this subgroup of patients was 0.87; for determination of unresectable disease when threshold of 769.8 μg/L was used, sensitivity and specificity was 86.6% and 80%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer based on preoperative imaging studies and high D-dimer level may be considered unresectable due to occult hepatic metastases. These patients may benefit from diagnostic laparoscopy to avoid exploratory laparotomy. | Adam Durczynski Anna Kumor Piotr Hogendorf Dariusz Szymanski Piotr Grzelak Janusz Strzelczyk | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,36: | 9 |
| 17 | Virulence factors of Enterococcus strains isolated from patients with inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM: To determine the features of Enterococcus that contribute to the development and maintenance of the inflammatory process in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to assess the presence of genes that encode virulence factors [surface aggregating protein (asa1), gelatinase (gelE), cytolysin (cylA), extracellular surface protein (esp) and hyaluronidase (hyl)] in the genomic DNA of 28 strains of Enterococcus isolated from the intestinal tissues of children with IBD (n =16) and of children without IBD (controls; n = 12). Additionally, strains with confirmed presence of the gelE gene were tested by PCR for the presence of quorum sensing genes (fsrA, fsrB, fsrC) that control the gelatinase production. Gelatinase activity was tested on agar plates containing 1.6% gelatin. We also analysed the ability of Enterococcus strains to release and decompose hydrogen peroxide (using Analytical Merckoquant peroxide test strips) and tested their ability to adhere to Caco-2 human gut epithelium cells and form biofilms in vitro. RESULTS: A comparison of the genomes of Enterococcus strains isolated from the inflamed mucosa of patients with IBD with those of the control group showed statistically significant differences in the frequency of theasa1 gene and thegelE gene. Furthermore, the cumulative occurrence of different virulence genes in the genome of a single strain ofEnterococcus isolated from the IBD patient group is greater than in a strain from the control group, although no significant difference was found. Statistically significant differences in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and adherence to the Caco-2 epithelial cell line between the strains from the patient group and control group were demonstrated. The results also showed that profuse biofilm production was more frequent amongEnterococcus strains isolated from children with IBD than in control strains. CONCLUSION: Enterococcus strains that adhere strongly to the intestinal epithelium, form biofilms and possess antioxidant defence mechanisms seem to have the greatest influence on the inflammatory process. | Edyta Golińska Anna Tomusiak Tomasz Gosiewski Gra yna Wiecek Agnieszka Machul Diana Mikoajczyk Magorzata Bulanda Piotr B Heczko Magdalena Strus | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,23: | 8 |
| 18 | Underexpression of LATS1 TSG in colorectal cancer is associated with promoter hypermethylation显示文摘AIM:To investigate large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1 ) expression, promoter hypermethylation, and microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer (CRC).METHODS:RNA was isolated from tumor tissue of 142 CRC patients and 40 colon mucosal biopsies of healthy controls. After reverse transcription, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed, and LATS1 expression was normalized to expression of the ACTB and RPL32 housekeeping genes. To analyze hypermethylation, genomic DNA was isolated from 44 tumor CRC biopsies, and methylation-specific PCR was performed. Microsatellite instability (MSI) status was checked with PCR using BAT26, BAT25, and BAT40 markers in the genomic DNA of 84 CRC patients, followed by denaturing gel electrophoresis. RESULTS:Decreased LATS1 expression was found in 127/142 (89.4%) CRC cases with the average ratio of the LATS1 level 10.33 ± 32.64 in CRC patients vs 32.85 ± 33.56 in healthy controls. The lowest expression was found in Dukes' B stage tumors and G1 (welldifferentiated) cells. Hypermethylation of the LATS1 promoter was present in 25/44 (57%) CRC cases analyzed. LATS1 promoter hypermethylation was strongly associated with decreased gene expression; methylated cases showed 162× lower expression of LATS1 than unmethylated cases. Although high-grade MSI (mutation in all three markers) was found in 14/84 (17%) cases and low-grade MSI (mutation in 1-2 markers) was found in 30/84 (36%) cases, we found no association with LATS1 expression. CONCLUSION:Decreased expression of LATS1 in CRC was associated with promoter hypermethylation, but not MSI status. Such reduced expression may promote progression of CRC. | Piotr M Wierzbicki Krystian Adrych Dorota Kartanowicz Marcin Stanislawowski Anna Kowalczyk Janusz Godlewski Iwona Skwierz-Bogdanska Krzysztof Celinski Tomasz Gach Jan Kulig Bartlomiej Korybalski Zbigniew Kmiec | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,27: | 8 |
| 19 | Prognostic value of metabolic tumor burden in lung cancer显示文摘Accurate prognosis in patients with lung cancer is important for clinical decision making and treatment selection.The TNM staging system is currently the main method for establishing prognosis.Using this system,patients are grouped into one of four stages based on primary tumor extent,nodal disease,and distant metastases.However,each stage represents a range of disease extent and may not on its own be the best reflection of individual patient prognosis.18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography(18F-FDG-PET)can be used to evaluate the metabolic tumor burden affecting the whole body with measures such as metabolic tumor volume(MTV)and total lesion glycolysis(TLG).MTV and TLG have been shown to be significant prognostic factors in patients with lung cancer,independent of TNM stage.These metabolic tumor burden measures have the potential to make lung cancer staging and prognostication more accurate and quantitative,with the goal of optimizing treatment choices and outcome predictions. | Piotr Obara Yonglin Pu | 2013 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2013,25,6: | 8 |
| 20 | Capsule endoscopy of the future: What's on the horizon?显示文摘Capsule endoscopes have evolved from passively moving diagnostic devices to actively moving systems with potential therapeutic capability. In this review,we will discuss the state of the art, define the current shortcomings of capsule endoscopy, and address research areas that aim to overcome said shortcomings.Developments in capsule mobility schemes are emphasized in this text, with magnetic actuation being the most promising endeavor. Research groups are working to integrate sensor data and fuse it with robotic control to outperform today's standard invasive procedures, but in a less intrusive manner. With recent advances in areas such as mobility, drug delivery, and therapeutics, we foresee a translation of interventional capsule technology from the bench-top to the clinical setting within the next 10 years. | Piotr R Slawinski Keith L Obstein Pietro Valdastri | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,37: | 8 |
