| 1 | Epidemiology and clinical features of cystic hydatidosis in Western Sicily:A ten-year review显示文摘AIM:To assess retrospectively the epidemiological and clinical aspects of cystic echinococcosis(CE)and to evaluate follow-up and response to treatment in patients affected by CE.METHODS:From January 2000 to December 2010,all patients affected by CE at the Infectious Diseases Units of the University of Catania and of Basilotta Hospital in Nicosia-Enna,were enrolled as participants in the study.Epidemiological,clinical and laboratory data were collected for each patient.Diagnosis of CE was performed using clinical imaging and laboratory parameters.Response to treatment was categorized as follows:'cure'as the disappearance or complete calcification of cyst/s;'improvement'as a reduction in the diameter and/or number of existing cysts;and'impairment'as an increase in the diameter and/or number of existing cyst/s and the onset of relapses(i.e.,the onset of new cyst/s and an increase in the diameter of previously existing cyst/s and/or complications.Immunoglobulin E(IgE)titers and eosinophil percentages were evaluated at diagnosis,at six months after the initiation of treatment and again in the case of relapse.Hyper-eosinophilia was defined as an eosinophil percentage of≥6%.RESULTS:Thirty-two patients were diagnosed with CE in our Unit during the research period,with a malefemale ratio of 2:1.At the time of diagnosis,40%of patients presented a single CE cyst.Sixty percent showed multi-organ involvement.The liver-lung localization ratio was 2:1.Patients below the age of 50 at diagnosis were more likely to have multiple cysts(73.7%vs 35.5%,P<0.05).Regarding treatment,30 patients were treated medically and 16 surgically.Fourteen patients were treated both medically and surgically.Relapses were seen to be less frequent in patients treated with albendazole before and after surgery.Complete cure or an improvement was achieved in 23 patients.Impairment was observed in one patient.Two patients showed no improvement.Relapses were more frequent in those patients treated before 2005.At diagnosis,71%of patients were positive for specific CE IgE,and 56.3%showed an eosinophil percentage of≥6%.Patients who were diagnosed with hyper-eosinophilia developed complications more frequently than the other patients,but did not suffer relapses.CONCLUSION:On the basis of our results,we propose cystic echinococcosis screening for family members of patients,appropriate pre-and post-surgery treatment and the assessment of anti-echinococcus IgE titer or eosinophil percentage as a therapy response marker in settings with limited resources. | Elisa Cappello Bruno Cacopardo Eleonora Caltabiano Sigismindo Li Volsi Rosa Chiara Mauro Sapienza Luciano Nigro | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,48: | 4 |

| 3 | Arthroereisis in juvenile flexible flatfoot:Which device should we implant?A systematic review of literature published in the last 5 years显示文摘BACKGROUND Flexible flatfoot(FFF)is a very common condition in children,characterized by the loss of the medial arch and by an increase in the support base with valgus of the hindfoot.Arthroereisis(AR)procedures are widely performed corrective surgeries and are classified as subtalar AR and calcaneo-stop(CS).AIM We investigated the literature published in the last 5 years with the aim of providing an update on the evidence related to AR treatment in FFF patients.We report the principal findings of subtalar AR and CS procedures concerning clinical and radiological outcomes and complication rates in the general population,young athletes,and obese people according to material device.METHODS Following the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses,a systematic review of studies published in the past 5 years and included the PubMed and Science Direct databases was performed on May 6,2020.The research string used was(pediatric OR children OR Juvenile NOT adult)AND(flexible NOT rigid)AND(flat foot OR pes planus)AND(calcaneo-Stop OR arthroereisis OR subtalar extra-articular screw OR SESA OR subtalar arthroereisis OR endosinotarsal).The risk of bias assessment was performed using the Dutch checklist form for prognosis.RESULTS A total of 47 articles were found.Ultimately,after reading the full text and checking reference lists,we selected 17 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.A total of 1864 FFFs were identified.Eight studies concerned the subtalar AR(47.1%)and nine concerning CS(52.9%).The average age of patients at start of treatment was 11.8 years,the average follow-up of the studies was 71.9 mo(range 29.1-130).Globally,complications occurred in 153 of the 1864 FFF treated,with a rate of 8.2%.CONCLUSION Both AR procedures are valid surgical techniques for treating FFF.Surgeon experience,implant cost,and cosmetic correction are the most common considerations included in the orthopedic device decision-making process.In obese patients,the subtalar AR is not recommended.In adolescents who need to improve sports performance,the CS screw had better results compared with other implants. | Andrea Vescio Gianluca Testa Mirko Amico Claudio Lizzio Marco Sapienza Piero Pavone Vito Pavone | 2021 | World Journal of Orthopedics2021,12,6: | 3 |
| 4 | Diagnostic accuracy of enhanced liver fibrosis test to assess liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C显示文摘BACKGROUND:The prognosis and clinical management of patients with chronic liver diseases are closely related to the severity of liver fibrosis.Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for the staging of liver fibrosis.However,it is an invasive test sometimes related to complications.This study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of enhanced liver fibrosis(ELF) test to predict liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.METHODS:This study included 162 patients with liver disease and 67 healthy controls.Hyaluronic acid,tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase type 1,and amino-terminal propeptide type III procollagen were measured by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay with the ELF test ADVIA Centaur(Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.).Fibrosis stage was determined using the Metavir scoring system.RESULTS:In our study,for the diagnosis of significant fibrosis(Metavir F≥2) a cut-off value >7.72 provides a sensitivity of 93.0% and a specificity of 83.0%.The areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve,sensitivity,specificity,and positive and negative predictive values were 0.94,93.3%,81.0%,93.3%,and 81.0%,respectively(P<0.001).For the diagnosis of cirrhosis(Metavir F=4) a cut-off value >9.3 provides a sensitivity of 93.0% and a specificity of 86.0%.The areas under the receiver operator characteristic curve,sensitivity,specificity,and positive and negative predictive values were 0.94,79.1%,90.8%,75.6%,and 92.3%,respectively(P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS:The ELF test is a promising non-invasive method for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C.It is effective in the diagnosis of both fibrosis and cirrhosis. | Roberto Catanzaro Michele Milazzo Silvia Arona Chiara Sapienza Dario Vasta Domenico Arcoria Francesco Marotta | 2013 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2013,12,5: | 3 |
