| 1 | 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 |
| 2 | Role of quorum sensing in bacterial infections显示文摘Quorum sensing(QS) is cell communication that is widely used by bacterial pathogens to coordinate the expression of several collective traits, including the production of multiple virulence factors, biofilm formation, and swarming motility once a population threshold is reached. Several lines of evidence indicate that QS enhances virulence of bacterial pathogens in animal models as well as in human infections; however, its relative importance for bacterial pathogenesis is still incomplete. In this review, we discuss the present evidence from in vitro and in vivo experiments in animal models, as well as from clinical studies, that link QS systems with human infections. We focus on two major QS bacterial models, the opportunistic Gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Gram positive Staphylococcus aureus, which are also two of the main agents responsible of nosocomial and wound infections. In addition, QS communication systems in other bacterial, eukaryotic pathogens, and even immune and cancer cells are also reviewed, and finally, the new approaches proposed to combat bacterial infections by the attenuation of their QS communication systems and virulence are also discussed. | Israel Castillo-Juárez Toshinari Maeda Edna Ayerim Mandujano-Tinoco María Tomás Berenice Pérez-Eretza Silvia Julieta García-Contreras Thomas K Wood Rodolfo García-Contreras | 2015 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,7: | 15 |
| 3 | Helicobacter pylori and corpus gastric pathology are associated with lower serum ghrelin显示文摘AIM To evaluate the association of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), cag A genotype, and type of gastric pathology with ghrelin, leptin and nutritional status.METHODS Fasted dyspeptic adults(18-70 years) referred for an upper digestive endoscopy were enrolled in this crosssectional study. Height and weight were assessed for body mass index(BMI) calculation. A sociodemographic survey was administered and nutrient intake was evaluated with 24 h dietary recalls. Serum total ghrelin and leptin levels were analyzed by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. 13 C-Urea Breath Test was performed and four gastric biopsies were obtained during endoscopy for histopathology and H. pylori DNA amplification and genotyping. Data analysis was performed using χ2, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis tests, Spearman's correlation and linear regression.RESULTS One hundred and sixty-three patients(40.8 ± 14.0 years), 98/65 females/males, were included. Overall, persistent H. pylori prevalence was 53.4%(95%CI: 45.7%-65.8%). Neither nutrient intake nor BMI differed significantly between H. pylori positive and negative groups. Serum ghrelin was significantly lower in infected patients [median 311.0 pg/m L(IQR 230.0-385.5)] than in uninfected ones [median 355.0 pg/m L(IQR 253.8-547.8)](P = 0.025), even after adjusting for BMI and gender(P = 0.03). Ghrelin levels tended to be lower in patients carrying cag A positive strains both in the antrum and the corpus; however, differences with those carrying cag A negative strains did not reach statistical significance(P = 0.50 and P = 0.49, respectively). In addition, the type and severity of gastric pathology in the corpus was associated with lower serum ghrelin(P = 0.04), independently of H.pylori status. Conversely, leptin levels did not differ significantly between infected and uninfected patients [median 1.84 ng/m L(0.80-4.85) vs 1.84 ng/m L(0.50-5.09),(P = 0.51)]. CONCLUSION H. pylori infection and severity of gastric corpus pathology are associated with lower serum ghrelin. Further studies could confirm a lower ghrelin prevalence in cag A-positive patients. | Paula Mantero Gonzalo Sebastián Matus Rodolfo Ernesto Corti Ana María Cabanne Gerardo Gabriel Zerbetto de Palma Liliana Marchesi Olid María Marta Piskorz Marcela Beatriz Zubillaga Mariana Andrea Janjetic Cinthia Gabriela Goldman | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,3: | 8 |
| 4 | Tumor-induced neurogenesis and immune evasion as targets of innovative anti-cancer therapies显示文摘Normal cells are hijacked by cancer cells forming together heterogeneous tumor masses immersed in aberrant communication circuits that facilitate tumor growth and dissemination.Besides the well characterized angiogenic effect of some tumor-derived factors;others,such as BDNF,recruit peripheral nerves and leukocytes.The neurogenic switch,activated by tumor-derived neurotrophins and extracellular vesicles,attracts adjacent peripheral fibers(autonomic/sensorial)and neural progenitor cells.Strikingly,tumor-associated nerve fibers can guide cancer cell dissemination.Moreover,IL-1β,CCL2,PGE2,among other chemotactic factors,attract natural immunosuppressive cells,including T regulatory(Tregs),myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs),and M2 macrophages,to the tumor microenvironment.These leukocytes further exacerbate the aberrant communication circuit releasing factors with neurogenic effect.Furthermore,cancer cells directly evade immune surveillance and the antitumoral actions of natural killer cells by activating immunosuppressive mechanisms elicited by heterophilic complexes,joining cancer and immune cells,formed by PD-L1/PD1 and CD80/CTLA-4 plasma membrane proteins.Altogether,nervous and immune cells,together with fibroblasts,endothelial,and bone-marrow-derived cells,promote tumor growth and enhance the metastatic properties of cancer cells.Inspired by the demonstrated,but restricted,power of anti-angiogenic and immune cell-based therapies,preclinical studies are focusing on strategies aimed to inhibit tumor-induced neurogenesis.Here we discuss the potential of anti-neurogenesis and,considering the interplay between nervous and immune systems,we also focus on anti-immunosuppression-based therapies.Small molecules,antibodies and immune cells are being considered as therapeutic agents,aimed to prevent cancer cell communication with neurons and leukocytes,targeting chemotactic and neurotransmitter signaling pathways linked to perineural invasion and metastasis. | Rodolfo Daniel Cervantes-Villagrana Damaris Albores-García Alberto Rafael Cervantes-Villagrana Sara Judit García-Acevez | 2020 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2020,5,1: | 5 |
| 5 | Transarterial chemoembolization using 40 μm drug eluting beads for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM To assess the safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) using a new generation of 40 μm drug eluting beads in patients not eligible for curative treatment.METHODS Drug eluting bead TACE(DEB-TACE) using a new generation of microspheres(embozene tandem,40 μm) preloaded with 100 mg of doxorubicin was performed on 48 early or intermediate HCC patients with compensatedcirrhosis.Response to therapy was assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST) and modified RECIST(m RECIST) guidelines applied to computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Eleven out of the 48 treated patients treated progressed on to receive liver orthotopic transplantation(OLT).This allowed for histological analysis on the treated explanted nodules.RESULTS DEB-TACE with 40 μm showed a good safety profile without major complications or 30-d mortality.The objective response rate of treated tumors was 72.6% and 26.7% according to m RECIST and RECIST respectively.Histological examination in 11 patients assigned to OLT showed a necrosis degree > 90% in 78.6% of cases.The overall time to progression was 13 mo(11-21).CONCLUSION DEB-TACE with 40 μm particles is an effective treatment for the treatment of HCC in early-intermediate patients(Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage A/B) with a good safety profile and good results in term of objective response rate and necrosis. | Giorgio Greco Tommaso Cascella Antonio Facciorusso Roberto Nani Rodolfo Lanocita Carlo Morosi Marta Vaiani Giuseppina Calareso Francesca G Greco Antonio Ragnanese Marco A Bongini Alfonso V Marchianò Vincenzo Mazzaferro Carlo Spreafico | 2017 | World Journal of Radiology2017,9,5: | 3 |
