| 1 | Biochemical markers for non-invasive assessment of disease stage in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate different biochemical markers and their ratios in the assessment of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) stages. METHODS: This study included 112 patients with PBC who underwent a complete clinical investigation. We analyzed the correlation (Spearman's test) between ten biochemical markers and their ratios with different stages of PBC. The discriminative values were compared using areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS: The mean age of patients included in the study was 53.88 ± 10.59 years, including 104 females and 8 males. We found a statistically significant correlation between PBC stage and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) to platelet ratio (APRI), ALT/platelet count, AST/ALT, ALT/AST and ALT/Cholesterol ratios, with the values of Spearman's rho of 0.338, 0.476, 0.404, 0.356, 0.351 and 0.325, respectively. The best sensitivity and specificity was shown for AST/ALT, with an area under ROC of 0.660. CONCLUSION: Biochemical markers and their ratios do correlate with different sensitivity to and specificity of PBC disease stage. The use of biochemical markers and their ratios in clinical evaluation of PBC patients may reduce, but not eliminate, the need for liver biopsy. | Tamara Alempijevic Miodrag Krstic Rada Jesic Ivan Jovanovic Aleksandra Sokic Milutinovic Nada Kovacevic Slobodan Krstic Dragan Popovic | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,5: | 4 |

| 3 | Validation of the chronic liver disease questionnaire in Serbian patients显示文摘AIM:To translate into Serbian and to investigate the validity of the cross-culturally adapted the chronic liver disease questionnaire(CLDQ).METHODS:The questionnaire was validated in 103 consecutive CLD patients treated between October 2009 and October 2010 at the Clinic for Gastroenterology,Clinical Centre of Serbia,Belgrade(Serbia).Exclusion criteria were:age < 18 years,psychiatric disorders,acute complications of CLD(acute liver failure,variceal bleeding,and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis),hepatic encephalopathy(grade > 2)and liver transplantation.Evaluation of the CLDQ was done based on the following parameters:(1)acceptance is shown by the proportion of missing items;(2)internal reliabilities were assessed for multiple item scales by using Cronbach alpha coefficient;and(3)in order to assess whether the allocation of items in the domain corresponds to their distribution in the original questionnaire(construction validity),an exploratory factor analysis was conducted.Discriminatory validity was determined by comparing the corresponding CLDQ score/sub-score in patients with different severity of the diseases.RESULTS:The Serbian version of CLDQ questionnaire completed 98% patients.Proportion of missing items was 0.06%.The total time needed to fill the questionnaire was ranged from 8 to 15 min.Assistance in completing the questionnaire required 4.8% patients,while 2.9% needed help in reading,and 1.9% involved writing assistance.The mean age of the selected patients was 53.8 ± 12.9 years and 54.4% were men.Average CLDQ score was 4.62 ± 1.11.Cronbach's alpha for the whole scale was 0.93.Reliability for all domains was above 0.70,except for the domain 'Activity'(0.49).The exploratory factor analysis model revealed 6 factors with eigenvalue of greater than 1,explaining 69.7% of cumulative variance.The majority of the items(66%)in the Serbian version of the CLDQ presented the highest loading weight in the domain assigned by the CLDQ developers:'Fatigue'(5/5),'Emotional function'(6/8),'Worry'(5/5),'Abdominal symptoms'(0/3),'Activity'(0/3),'Systemic symptoms'(3/5).The scales 'Fatigue' and 'Worry' fully corresponded to the original.The factor analysis also revealed that the factors 'Activity' and 'Abdominal symptoms' could not be replicated,and two new domains 'Sleep' and 'Nutrition' were established.Analysis of the CLDQ score/sub-score distribution according to disease severity demonstrated that patients without cirrhosis had lower total CLDQ score(4.86 ± 1.05)than those with cirrhosis Child's C(4.31 ± 0.97).Statistically significant difference was detected for the domains 'Abdominal symptoms' [F(3)= 5.818,P = 0.001] and 'Fatigue' [F(3)= 3.39,P = 0.021].Post hoc analysis revealed that patients with liver cirrhosis Child's C had significantly lower sub-score 'Abdominal symptoms' than patients without cirrhosis or liver cirrhosis Child's A or B.For domain 'Fatigue',patients with cirrhosis Child's C had significantly lower score,than non-cirrhotic patients.CONCLUSION:The Serbian version of CLDQ is well accepted and represents a valid and reliable instrument in Serbian sample of CLD patients. | Dusan Dj Popovic Nada V Kovacevic Darija B Kisic Tepavcevic Goran Z Trajkovic Tamara M Alempijevic Milan M Spuran Miodrag N Krstic Rada S Jesic Zobair M Younossi Tatjana D Pekmezovic | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,30: | 1 |
| 4 | Tuberculous lymphadenitis as a cause of obstructive jaundice:A case report and literature review显示文摘Obstructive jaundice secondary to tuberculosis (TB) is extremely rare. It can be caused by TB enlargement of the head of the pancreas, TB lymphadenitis, TB stricture of the biliary tree, or a TB mass of the retroperitoneum. A 29-year-old man with no previous history of TB presented with abdominal pain, obstructive jaundice, malaise and weight loss. Ultrasonography (US), computer tomography (CT) scan and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were suggestive of a stenosis of the distal common bile duct (CBD) caused by a mass in the posterior head of the pancreas. Tumor markers, CEA and CA19-9 were within normal limits. At operation, an enlarged, centrally caseous lymph node of the posterior head of the pancreas was found, causing inflammatory stenosis and a fistula with the distal CBD. The lymph node was removed and the bile duct resected and anastomosed with the Roux-en Y jejunal limb. Histology and PCR based-assay confirmed tuberculous lymphadenitis. After an uneventful postoperative recovery, the patient was treated with anti-tuberculous medication and remained well 2.5 years later. Though obstructive jaundice secondary to tuberculous lymphadenitis is rare, abdominal TB should be considered as a differential diagnosis in immunocompromised patients and in TB endemic areas. Any stenosis or fistulation into the CBD should also be taken into consideration, and biliary bypass surgery be performed to both relieve jaundice and prevent further stricture. | Radoje Colovic Nikica Grubor Rada Jesic Marjan Micev Tanja Jovanovic Natasa Colovic Henry Dushan Atkinson | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,19: | 1 |
