| 1 | Hepatolithiasis and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: A review显示文摘Although the incidence of hepatolithiasis is decreasing as the pattern of gallstone disease changes in Asia, the prevalence of hepatolithiasis is persistently high, especially in Far Eastern countries. Hepatolithiasis is an established risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma(CCA), and chronic proliferative inflammation may be involved in biliary carcinogenesis and in inducing the upregulation of cell-proliferating factors. With the use of advanced imaging modalities, there has been much improvement in the management of hepatolithiasis and the diagnosis of hepatolithiasis-associated CCA(HLCCA). However, there are many problems in managing the strictures in hepatolithiasis and differentiating them from infiltrating types of CCA. Surgical resection is recommended in cases of single lobe hepatolithiasis with atrophy, uncontrolled stricture, symptom duration of more than 10 years, and long history of biliaryenteric anastomosis. Even after resection, patients should be followed with caution for development of HL-CCA, because HL-CCA is an independent prognostic factor for survival. It is not yet clear whether hepatic resection can reduce the occurrence of subsequent HL-CCA. Furthermore, there are no consistent findings regarding prediction of subsequent HL-CCA in patients with hepatolithiasis. In the management of hepatolithiasis, important factors are the reduction of recurrence of cholangitis and suspicion of unrecognized HL-CCA. | Hyo Jung Kim Jae Seon Kim Moon Kyung Joo Beom Jae Lee Ji Hoon Kim Jong Eun Yeon Jong-Jae Park Kwan Soo Byun Young-Tae Bak | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,48: | 63 |

| 8 | Primary endoscopic approximation suture under cap-assisted endoscopy of an ERCP-induced duodenal perforation显示文摘Duodenal perforation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) is a rare complication,but it has a relatively high mortality risk.Early diagnosis and prompt management are key factors for the successful treatment of ERCP-related perforation.The management of perforation can initially be conservative in cases resulting from sphincterotomy or guide wire trauma.However,the current standard treatment for duodenal free wall perforation is surgical repair.Recently,several case reports of endoscopic closure techniques using endoclips,endoloops,or fully covered metal stents have been described.We describe four cases of iatrogenic duodenal bulb or lateral wall perforation caused by the scope tip that occurred during ERCP in tertiary referral centers.All the cases were simply managed by endoclips under transparent capassisted endoscopy.Based on the available evidence and our experience,endoscopic closure was a safe and feasible method even for duodenoscope-induced perforations.Our results suggest that endoscopists may be more willing to use this treatment. | Tae Hoon Lee Byoung Wook Bang Jee In Jeong Hyung Gil Kim Seok Jeong Seon Mee Park Don Haeng Lee Sang-Heum Park Sun-Joo Kim | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,18: | 19 |
| 9 | Prevalence of clonorchiasis in patients with gastrointestinal disease: A Korean nationwide multicenter survey显示文摘AIM: To investigate prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, and the relation of the infection to hepatobiliary diseases in 26 hospitals in Korea.METHODS: Consecutive patients who had been admitted to the Division of Gastroenterology with gastrointestinal symptoms were enrolled from March to April 2005. Of those who had been diagnosed with clonorchiasis, epidemiology and correlation between infection and hepatobiliary diseases were surveyed by questionnaire.RESULTS: Of 3080 patients with gastrointestinal diseases, 396 (12.9%) had clonorchiasis and 1140 patients (37.2%) had a history of eating raw freshwater fish. Of those with a history of raw freshwater fish ingestion, 238 (20.9%) patients had clonorchiasis. Cholangiocarcinoma was more prevalent in C. sinensis-infected patients than non-infected patients [34/396 (8.6%) vs 145/2684 (5.4%), P = 0.015]. Cholangiocarcinoma and clonorchiasis showed statistically significant positive cross-relation (P = 0.008). Choledocholithiasis, cholecystolithiasis, cholangitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and biliary pancreatitis did not correlate with clonorchiasis.CONCLUSION: Infection rate of clonorchiasis was still high in patients with gastrointestinal diseases in Korea, and has not decreased very much during the last two decades. Cholangiocarcinoma was related to clonorchiasis, which suggested an etiological role for the parasite. | Ho Gak Kim Jimin Han Myung-Hwan Kim Kyu Hyun Cho Im Hee Shin Gwang Ha Kim Jae Seon Kim Jin Bong Kim Tae Nyeun Kim Tae Hyeon Kim Tae Hyo Kim Jae Woo Kim Ji Kon Ryu Young-Soo Moon Jong Ho Moon Sung Jae Park Chan Guk Park Sung-Jo Bang Chang Heon Yang Kyo-Sang Yoo Byung Moo Yoo Kyu Taek Lee Dong Ki Lee Byung Seok Lee Sang Soo Lee Seung Ok Lee Woo Jin Lee Chang Min Cho Young-Eun Joo Gab Jin Cheon Young Woo Choi Jae Bok Chung Yong Bum Yoon | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,1: | 15 |
| 10 | Relationship between diversion colitis and quality of life in rectal cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigated the incidence of diversion colitis(DC) and impact of DC symptoms on quality of life(QoL) after ileostomy reversal in rectal cancer.METHODS:We performed a prospective study with 30 patients who underwent low anterior resection and the creation of a temporary ileostomy for the rectal cancer between January 2008 and July 2009 at the Department of Surgery,Korea University Anam Hospital.The participants totally underwent two rounds of the examinations.At first examination,endoscopies,tissue biopsies,and questionnaire survey about the symptom were performed 3-4 mo after the ileostomy creations.At second examination,endoscopies,tissue biopsies,and questionnaire survey about the symptom and QoL were performed 5-6 mo after the ileostomy reversals.Clinicopathological data were based on the histopathological reports and clinical records of the patients.RESULTS:At the first examination,all of the patients presented with inflammation,which was mild in 15(50%) patients,moderate in 11(36.7%) and severe in 4(13.3%) by endoscopy and mild in 14(46.7%) and moderate in 16(53.3%) by histology.At the second examination,only 11(36.7%) and 17(56.7%) patients had mild inflammation by endoscopy and histology,respectively.There was no significant difference in DC grade between the endoscopic and the histological findings at first or second examination.The symptoms detected on the first and second questionnaires were mucous discharge in 12(40%) and 5(17%) patients,bloody discharge in 5(17%) and 3(10%) patients,abdominal pain in 4(13%) and 2(7%) patients and tenesmus in 9(30%) and 5(17%) patients,respectively.We found no correlation between the endoscopic or histological findings and the symptoms such as mucous discharge,bleeding,abdominal pain and tenesmus in both time points.Diarrhea was detected in 9 patients at the second examination;this number correlated with the severity of DC(0%,0%,66.7%,33.3% vs 0%,71.4%,23.8%,4.8%,P = 0.001) and the symptom-related QoL(r =-0.791,P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:The severity of DC is related to diarrhea after an ileostomy reversal and may adversely affect QoL. | Dong Nyoung Son Dong Jin Choi Si Uk Woo Jin Kim Bo Ra Keom Chul Hwan Kim Se Jin Baek Seon Hahn Kim | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,4: | 14 |
| 11 | Characterization of smooth muscle, enteric nerve, interstitial cells of Cajal, and fibroblast-like cells in the gastric musculature of patients with diabetes mellitus显示文摘AIM To investigate histologic abnormalities in the gastric smooth muscle of patients with diabetes mellitus(DM).METHODS Full-thickness gastric specimens were obtained from patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer. H&E stain and Masson's Trichrome stain were performed to assess the degree of fibrosis. Immunohistochemical staining using various antibodies was also performed [antibodies against protein gene product 9.5(PGP9.5), neuronal nitric oxide synthase(n NOS), vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP), neurokinin-1(NK1) receptor, c-Kit, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha,(PDGFRα)]. Immunofluorescent staining and evaluation with confocal microscopy were also conducted.RESULTS Twenty-six controls and 35 diabetic patients(21 shortduration patients and 14 long-duration patients) were included. There were no significant differences in basic demographics between the two groups except in mean body mass index(BMI)(higher in the DM group). Proportions of moderate-to-severe intercellular fibrosis in the muscle layer were significantly higher in the DM group than in the control group(P < 0.01). On immunohistochemical staining, c-Kit- and PDGFRα-positive immunoreactivity were significantly decreased in the DM group compared with the control group(P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in PGP9.5, n NOS, VIP, and neurokinin 1 expression. On immunofluorescent staining, cellularity of interstitial cells of Cajal(ICC) was observed to decrease with increasing duration of DM.CONCLUSION Our study suggests that increased intercellular fibrosis, loss of ICC, and loss of fibroblast-like cells are found in the smooth muscle of DM patients. These abnormalities may contribute to changes in gastric motor activity in patients with DM. | Kyung Sik Park Kwang Bum Cho Il Seon Hwang Jae Hyung Park Byung Ik Jang Kyeong Ok Kim Sung Woo Jeon Eun Soo Kim Chang Sik Park Joong Goo Kwon | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,46: | 11 |
| 12 | Corrosion behavior of Mg-Mn-Ca alloy:Influences of Al,Sn and Zn显示文摘The effects of different elements including Al,Sn and Zn with ability of solution hardening on corrosion behavior of a Mg alloy have been studied.The microstructure was analyzed and the electrochemical and immersion techniques were used for corrosion studies.Scanning kelvin probe force microscopy(SKPFM)was utilized to analyze the volta-potential distribution on the surface.It was found that all additives reduced the corrosion resistance;however,Zn decreased the corrosion resistance less than Al and Sn.The corrosion rate was quantitatively explained through volta-potential difference and the second phase fraction. | Ahmad Bahmani Srinivasan Arthanari Kwang Seon Shin | 2019 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2019,7,1: | 10 |

| 14 | Biopathologic features and clinical significance of micrometatasis in the lymph node of early gastric cancer显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the biopathologic features and clinical significance of nodal micrometastasis(MI) in early gastric cancer(EGC).METHODS: Among 1022 EGC patients who underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy of D1 + β or more from March 2001 to December 2005 at the Korean National Cancer Center, available nodal metastasis was found in 90 p T1N1 patients. Nodal metastasis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry(IHC) with cytokeratin and patients were classified into MI and macrometastasis(MA) groups based on the main tumor burden according to the 6th International Union Against Cancer/American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system; the main tumor burden with a diameter of greater than 0.2 mm but no greater than 2 mm as MI, and greater than 2 mm as MA of the representative metastatic node. Proliferative and apoptotic activities of the primary tumor and the nodal metastasis were measured by IHC with Ki-67 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase d UTP nick end labeling, respectively. Biopathologic and clinical features of the patients were analyzed and compared between MI and MA groups. Patients with recurrence were compared with those without recurrence to identify risk factors for recurrence.RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients showed MI and the other 53 patients revealed MA in the lymph node; the incidence of patients with MI and MA was 41.1% and 58.9%. The main tumor burden was 0.9 and 4.6 mm in the representative metastatic node, respectively. Japanese N2 stations were more frequently involved in MA group(20.9%) than in MI group(10.3%) butthe difference was not statistically different(P = 0.338). Proliferative and apoptotic activities of MI were decreased than those of MA(26.7% vs 40.5%, P = 0.004 and 1.0% vs 3.0%, P < 0.001, respectively). However, nodal MI in the current study showed a relatively high proliferative activity and an equivalent apoptotic activity compared to other cancers in the previously published studies. Recurrence was observed in 6 patients during the mean follow up period of 87.6 ± 26.2 mo. The recurrence was significantly associated with the presence of MA(P = 0.041) and lymphovascular invasion of the primary tumor(P = 0.032).CONCLUSION: Lymphadenectomy of D1 + β or more might be necessary in patients with MI in sentinel node to prevent recurrence by clearing MI involving Japanese N2 station. | Min Jung Jo Ji Yeon Park Joon Seon Song Myeong-Cherl Kook Keun Won Ryu Soo-Jeong Cho Jun Ho Lee Byung-Ho Nam Eun Kyung Hong Il Ju Choi Young-Woo Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,2: | 9 |
| 15 | Signaling networks in immunometabolism显示文摘Adaptive immunity is essential for pathogen and tumor eradication,but may also trigger uncontrolled or pathological inflammation.T cell receptor,co-stimulatory and cytokine signals coordinately dictate specific signaling networks that trigger the activation and functional programming of T cells.In addition,cellular metabolism promotes T cell responses and is dynamically regulated through the interplay of serine/threonine kinases,immunological cues and nutrient signaling networks.In this review,we summarize the upstream regulators and signaling effectors of key serine/threonine kinase-mediated signaling networks,including PI3K-AGC kinases,mTOR and LKB1-AMPK pathways that regulate metabolism,especially in T cells.We also provide our perspectives about the pending questions and clinical applicability of immunometabolic signaling.Understanding the regulators and effectors of immunometabolic signaling networks may uncover therapeutic targets to modulate metabolic programming and T cell responses in human disease. | Jordy Saravia Jana L.Raynor Nicole M.Chapman Seon Ah Lim Hongbo Chi | 2020 | Cell Research2020,30,4: | 9 |
| 16 | Urgent ERCP for acute cholangitis reduces mortality and hospital stay in elderly and very elderly patients显示文摘BACKGROUND: Acute cholangitis in old people is a cause of mortality and prolonged hospital stay. We evaluated the effects of methods and timing of biliary drainage on the outcomes of acute cholangitis in elderly and very elderly patients.METHODS: We analyzed 331 patients who were older than 75 years and were diagnosed with acute calculous cholangitis. They were admitted to our hospital from 2009 to 2014. Patients' demographics, severity grading, methods and timing of biliary drainage, mortality, and hospital stay were retrospectively obtained from medical records. Clinical parameters and outcomes were compared between elderly(75-80 years, n=156) and very elderly(≥81 years, n=175) patients. We analyzed the effects of methods [none, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP), percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, or failure] and timing(urgent or early) of biliary drainage on mortality and hospital stay in these patients.RESULTS: Acute cholangitis in older patients manifested as atypical symptoms characterized as infrequent Charcot's triad(4.2%) and comorbidity in one-third of the patients. Patients were graded as mild, moderate, and severe cholangitis in 104(31.4%), 175(52.9%), and 52(15.7%), respectively. Urgent biliary drainage(≤24 hours) was performed for 80.5%(247/307) of patients. Very elderly patients tended to have more severe grades and were treated with sequential procedures of transient biliary drainage and stone removal at different sessions. Hospital stay was related to methods and timing of biliary drainage. Mortality was very low(1.5%) and not related to patient age but rather to the success or failure of biliary drainage and severity grading of the acute cholangitis.CONCLUSIONS: The methods and timing used for biliary drainage and severity of cholangitis are the major determinants of mortality and hospital stay in elderly and very elderly patients with acute cholangitis. Urgent successful ERCP is mandatory for favorable prognosis in these patients. | Chan Sun Park Hee Seok Jeong Ki Bae Kim Joung-Ho Han Hee Bok Chae Sei Jin Youn Seon Mee Park | 2016 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2016,15,6: | 9 |
| 17 | Formulation of corrosion rate of magnesium alloys using microstructural parameters显示文摘Up to the date of writing this article,a quantitative analysis between corrosion rate and combined microstructural parameters including composition,grain size,and precipitations has not been reported.Hence,a literature review was carried out on these parameters to understand the quantitative effect of each one on the corrosion rate of Mg and Mg alloys.Moreover,using the available data in the literature and several experimental results,a new model was developed to predict the corrosion rate,through microstructural parameters.This model suggests that by using ultra-fined grains,alloying compounds with low Volta-potential difference relative to the matrix and a low fraction of secondary phase,a very low corrosion rates of materials are achievable. | Ahmad Bahmani Srinivasan Arthanari Kwang Seon Shin | 2020 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2020,8,1: | 9 |
| 18 | Clinical usefulness of ankle brachial index and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in patients with ischemic stroke显示文摘Ankle brachial index(ABI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV) are widely used noninvasive modalities to evaluate atherosclerosis.Recently,evidence has increased supporting the use of ABI and baPWV as markers of cerebrovascular disease.This study sought to examine the relationship between ABI and baPWV with ischemic stroke.This study also aimed to determine which pathogenic mechanism,large artery disease(LAD) or small vessel disease(SVD),is related to ABI or baPWV.Retrospectively,121 patients with ischemic stroke and 38 subjects with no obvious ischemic stroke history were recruited.First,ABI and baPWV were compared between the groups.Then,within the stroke group,the relevance of ABI and baPWV with regard to SVD and LAD,which were classified by brain magnetic resonance image(MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography(MRA) or computed tomography angiography(CTA) findings,was assessed.The baPWV was higher in the stroke group than non-stroke group(1,944.18±416.6 cm/s vs.1,749.76±669.6 cm/s,P< 0.01).Regarding LAD,we found that mean ABI value was lower in the group with extracranial large artery stenosis(P< 0.01),and there was an inverse linear correlation between ABI and the grade of extracranial large artery stenosis(P<0.01).For SVD,there was a significant correlation between SVD and baPWV(2,057.6±456.57 cm/s in the SVD(+) group vs.1,491 ±271.62 cm/s in the SVD(-) group;P < 0.01).However,the grade of abnormalities detected in SVD did not correlate linearly with baPWV.These findings show that baPWV is a reliable surrogate marker of ischemic stroke.Furthermore,baPWVand ABI can be used to indicate the presence of small vessel disease and large arterial disease,respectively. | Hyung-Suk Lee Hye Lim Lee Ho-seong Han Minju Yeo Ji Seon Kim Sung-Hyun Lee Sang-Soo Lee Dong-Ick Shin | 2016 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2016,30,4: | 8 |
| 19 | Expression of protein S100A4 is a predictor of recurrence in colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To investigate the prognostic significance of S100A4 expression in colorectal cancer and its correlation with expression of E-cadherin and p53. METHODS: A cohort of archival formalin-fixed paraff inembedded specimens was selected from 127 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical resection between April 2000 and March 2004 at the Department of Surgery, Korea University Guro Hospital. The expression of protein S100A4 was evaluated according to the proportion of positively stained cancer cells. In each case, three core biopsies with a diameter of 2 mm were punched out and positioned in a recipient paraff in array block. Four-μm sections of these tissue array blocks were used for immunohistochemical analysis of protein S100A4, E-cadherin, and p53. Clinicopathological data were based on the original histopathologic reports and clinical records of patients. RESULTS: In normal colorectal mucosa, protein S100A4 immunoreactivity was clearly absent in both cytoplasm and nucleus. However, positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 was detected in 45 (35.4%) of the tumor cases. There was no significant association between positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 and clinicopathological parameters such as tumor differentiation or TNM stage, and also no correlation between the reactivity and E-cadherin or p53 expression. However, positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 was found to be associated with tumor recurrence (P = 0.004), and was also associated with significantly worse overall survival in the Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis (P = 0.044). After adjustment for tumor differentiation, tumor depth and nodal status, however, it failed to achieve statistical significance (P = 0.067). CONCLUSION: The expression of protein S100A4 is associated with tumor recurrence and poor overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer. | Jung Myun Kwak Hyun Joo Lee Seon Hahn Kim Han Kyeom Kim Young Jae Mok Young Tae Park Jong Sang Choi Hong Young Moon | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,31: | 8 |
| 20 | Clinical significance and risk factors of postembolization fever in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate tumor response and survival in patients with postembolization fever(PEF) and to determine the risk factors for PEF.METHODS:Four hundred forty-three hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients who underwent the first session of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) between January 2005 and December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively.PEF was defined as a body temperature greater than 38.0 ℃ that developed within 3 d of TACE without evidence of infection.The tumor progression-free interval was defined as the interval from the first TACE to the second TACE based on mRECIST criteria.Clinical staging was based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor,node,metastases(TNM) classification of malignant tumors.All patients were admitted before their 1 st TACE treatment,and blood samples were obtained from all patients before and after treatment.Clinicoradiological variables and host-related variables were compared between two groups:patients with PEF vs patients without PEF.Additionally,variables related to 20-mo mortality and tumor progression-free survival were analyzed.RESULTS:The study population comprised 370(85.4%) men and 73(14.6%) women with a mean age of 62.29 ± 10.35 years.A total of 1836 TACE sessions were conducted in 443 patients,and each patient received between 1 and 27(mean:4.14 ± 3.57) TACE sessions.The mean follow-up duration was 22.23 ± 19.6 mo(range:0-81 mo).PEF developed in 117 patients(26.41%) at the time of the first TACE session.PEF was not associated with 20-mo survival(P = 0.524) or computed tomography(CT) response(P = 0.413) in a univariate analysis.A univariate analysis further indicated that diffuse-type HCC(P = 0.021),large tumor size(≥ 5 cm)(P = 0.046),lipiodol dose(≥ 7 mL,P = 0.001),poor blood glucose control(P = 0.034),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) value after TACE(P = 0.004) and C-reactive protein(CRP) value after TACE(P = 0.036) served as possible risk factors correlated with PEF.The ALT value after TACE(P = 0.021) and lipiodol dose over 7 mL(P = 0.011) were independent risk factors for PEF in the multivariate analysis.For the 20-mo survival,poor blood sugar control(P < 0.001),portal vein thrombosis(P = 0.001),favorable CT response after TACE(P < 0.001),initial aspartate aminotransferase(P = 0.02),initial CRP(P = 0.042),tumor size(P < 0.001),TNM stage(P < 0.001) and lipiodol dose(P < 0.001) were possible risk factors in the univariate analysis.Tumor size(P = 0.03),poor blood sugar control(P = 0.043),and portal vein thrombosis(P = 0.031) were significant predictors of survival in the multivariate analysis.Furthermore,the tumor progression-free interval was closely associated with CRP > 1 mg/dL(P = 0.003),tumor size > 5 cm(P < 0.001),tumor type(poorly defined)(P < 0.001),and lipiodol dose(> 7 mL,P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:PEF has no impact on survival at 20 mo or radiologic response.However,the ALT level after TACE and the lipiodol dose represent significant risk factors for PEF. | Chung Hwan Jun Ho Seok Ki Hoon Ki Lee Kang Jin Park Seon Young Park Sung Bum Cho Chang Hwan Park Young Eun Joo Hyun Soo Kim Sung Kyu Choi Jong Sun Rew | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,2: | 7 |
