| 1 | Incidence of human papilloma virus in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients from the Lublin region显示文摘AIM:To assess the prevalence of human papilloma virus(HPV) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) in the south-eastern region of Poland.METHODS:The study population consisted of 56 ESCC patients and 35 controls.The controls were patients referred to our department due to other nonesophageal and non-oncological disorders with no gross or microscopic esophageal pathology as confirmed by endoscopy and histopathology.In the ESCC patients,samples were taken from normal mucosa(56 mucosa samples) and from the tumor(56 tumor samples).Tissue samples from the controls were taken from normal mucosa of the middle esophagus(35 control samples).Quantitative determination of DNA was carried out using a spectrophotometric method.Genomic DNA was isolated using the QIAamp DNA Midi Kit.HPV infection was identified following PCR amplification of the HPV gene sequence,using primers MY09 and MY11 complementary to the genome sequence of at least 33 types of HPV.The sequencing results were computationally analyzed using the basic local alignment search tool database.RESULTS:In tumor samples,HPV DNA was identified in 28 of 56 patients(50%).High risk HPV phenotypes(16 or/and 18) were found in 5 of 56 patients(8.9%),low risk in 19 of 56 patients(33.9%) and other types of HPV(37,81,97,CP6108) in 4 of 56 patients(7.1%).In mucosa samples,HPV DNA was isolated in 21 of 56 patients(37.5%).High risk HPV DNA was confirmed in 3 of 56 patients(5.3%),low risk HPV DNA in 12 of 56 patients(21.4%),and other types of HPV in 6 of 56 patients(10.7%).In control samples,HPV DNA was identified in 4 of 35 patients(11.4%) with no high risk HPV.The occurrence of HPV in ESCC patients was significantly higher than in the controls [28 of 56(50%) vs 4 of 35(11.4%),P < 0.001].In esophageal cancer patients,both in tumor and mucosa samples,the predominant HPV phenotypes were low risk HPV,isolated 4 times more frequently than high risk phenotypes [19 of 56(33.9%) vs 5 of 56(8.9%),P < 0.001].A higher prevalence of HPV was identified in female patients(71.4% vs 46.9%).Accordingly,the high risk phenotypes were isolated more frequently in female patients and this difference reached statistical significance [3 of 7(42.9%) vs 2 of 49(4.1%),P < 0.05].Of the pathological characteristics,only an infiltrative pattern of macroscopic tumor type significantly correlated with the presence of HPV DNA in ESCC samples [20 of 27(74.1%) vs 8 of 29(27.6%) for ulcerative or protruding macroscopic type,P < 0.05].The occurrence of total HPV DNA and both HPV high or low risk phenotypes did not significantly differ with regard to particular grades of cellular differentiation,phases in depth of tumor infiltration,grades of nodal involvement and stages of tumor progression.CONCLUSION:Low risk HPV phenotypes could be one of the co-activators or/and co-carcinogens in complex,progressive,multifactorial and multistep esophageal carcinogenesis. | Andrzej Dabrowski Wojciech Kwasniewski Tomasz Skoczylas Wiesawa Bednarek Dorota Kuzma Anna Gozdzicka-Józefiak | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，40： | 55 |
| 2 | Diet and nutritional factors in inflammatory bowel diseases显示文摘Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) development is affected by complex interactions between environmental factors, changes in intestinal flora, various predisposing genetic properties and changes in the immune system. Dietary factors seem to play an underestimated role in the etiopathogenesis and course of the disease. However, research about food and IBD is conflicting. An excessive consumption of sugar, animal fat and linoleic acid is considered a risk factor for IBD development, whereas a high fiber diet and citrus fruit consumption may play a protective role. Also, appropriate nutrition in particular periods of the disease may facilitate achieving or prolonging remissions and most of all, improve the quality of life for patients. During disease exacerbation, a low fiber diet is recommended for most patients. In the remission time, an excessive consumption of alcohol and sulfur products may have a negative effect on the disease course. Attempts are also made at employing diets composed in detail in order to supplement IBD therapy. A diet with a modified carbohydrate composition, a semi-vegetarian diet and a diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols are under investigation. Due to chronic inflammation as well as side effects of chronically used medications, patients with IBD are also at increased risk of nutritional factor deficiencies, including iron, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folic acid, zinc, magnesium and vitamin A. It should also be remembered that there is no single common diet suitable for all IBD patients; each of them is unique and dietary recommendations must be individually developed for each patient, depending on the course of the disease, past surgical procedures and type of pharmacotherapy. | Danuta Owczarek Tomasz Rodacki Renata Domagała-Rodacka Dorota Cibor Tomasz Mach | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，3： | 19 |
| 3 | Persistent occult hepatitis B virus infection:Experimental findings and clinical implications显示文摘Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a highly pathogenic virus that causes chronic liver diseases in millions of people globally. In addition to a symptomatic, serologically evident infection, occult persistent HBV carriage has been identified since nucleic acid amplification assays of enhanced sensitivity became introduced for detection of hepadnaviral genomes and their replicative intermediates. Current evidence indicates that occult HBV infection is a common and long-term consequence of resolution of acute hepatitis B. This form of residual infection is termed as secondary occult infection (SOI). The data from the woodchuck model of HBV infection indicate that exposure to small amounts of hepadnavirus can also cause primary occult infection (POI) where virus genome, but no serological makers of exposure to virus, are detectable, and the liver may not be involved. However, virus replicates at low levels in the lymphatic system in both these forms. We briefly summarize the current understanding of the nature and characteristics of occult hepadnaviral persistence as well as of its documented and expected pathological consequences. | Patricia M Mulrooney-Cousins Tomasz I Michalak | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，43： | 17 |
| 4 | Inflammatory bowel disease:Epidemiology,pathology and risk factors for hypercoagulability显示文摘Hypercoagulability observed in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD)may lead to thromboembolic events(TE),which affect the venous and arterial systems alike and are an important factor in patients’morbidity and mortality.The risk of TE in IBD patients has been demonstrated to be approximately threefold higher as compared to the general population.The pathogenesis of thrombosis in IBD patients is multifactorial and not fully explained.The most commonly listed factors include genetic and immune abnormalities,disequilibrium between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors,although recently,the role of endothelial damage as an IBD-triggering factor is underlined.Several studies report that the levels of some coagulation enzymes,including fibrinogen,factorsⅤ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,active factorⅪ,tissue factor,prothrombin fragment 1+2and the thrombin-antithrombin complex,are altered in IBD patients.It has been demonstrated that there is a significant decrease of tissue plasminogen activator level,a marked increase of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 and thrombin-activable fibrinolysis inhibitor,a significantly lower level of antithrombinⅢand tissue factor pathway inhibitor.IBD patients have been also observed to produce an increased amount of various anticoagulant antibodies.Hyperhomocysteinemia,which is a potential risk factor for TE was also observed in some IBD patients.Further studies are necessary to assess the role of coagulation abnormalities in IBD etiology and to determine indications for thromboprophylactic treatment in patients at high risk of developing TE. | Danuta Owczarek Dorota Cibor Mikolaj K Glowacki Tomasz Rodacki Tomasz Mach | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，1： | 16 |
| 5 | Role of abnormal lipid metabolism in development,progression,diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic cancer显示文摘There is growing evidence that metabolic alterations play an important role in cancer development and progression.The metabolism of cancer cells is reprogrammed in order to support their rapid proliferation.Elevated fatty acid synthesis is one of the most important aberrations of cancer cell metabolism.An enhancement of fatty acids synthesis is required both for carcinogenesis and cancer cell survival,as inhibition of key lipogenic enzymes slows down the growth of tumor cells and impairs their survival.Based on the data that serum fatty acid synthase(FASN),also known as oncoantigen 519,is elevated in patients with certain types of cancer,its serum level was proposed as a marker of neoplasia.This review aims to demonstrate the changes in lipid metabolism and other metabolic processes associated with lipid metabolism in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC),the most common pancreatic neoplasm,characterized by high mortality.We also addressed the influence of some oncogenic factors and tumor suppressors on pancreatic cancer cell metabolism.Additionally the review discusses the potential role of elevated lipid synthesis in diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.In particular,FASN is a viable candidate for indicator of pathologic state,marker of neoplasia,as well as,pharmacological treatment target in pancreatic cancer.Recent research showed that,in addition to lipogenesis,certain cancer cells can use fatty acids from circulation,derived from diet(chylomicrons),synthesized in liver,or released from adipose tissue for their growth.Thus,the interactions between de novo lipogenesis and uptake of fatty acids from circulation by PDAC cells require further investigation. | Julian Swierczynski Areta Hebanowska Tomasz Sledzinski | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，9： | 16 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Mucosal bacterial microflora and mucus layer thickness in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM:To assess the mucosa-associated bacterial microflora and mucus layer in adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) .METHODS:Sixty-one adolescents(mean age 15 years,SD ± 4.13) were included in the study.Intestinal biopsies from inflamed and non-inflamed mucosa of IBD patients and from controls with functional abdominal pain were cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.The number of microbes belonging to the same group was calculated per weight of collected tissue.The mucus thickness in frozen samples was measured under a fluorescent microscope.RESULTS:The ratios of different bacterial groups in inflamed and non-inflamed mucosa of IBD patients and controls were specific for particular diseases.Streptococcus spp.were predominant in the inflamed mucosa of Crohn's disease(CD) patients(80% of all bacteria) ,and Lactobacillus spp.were predominant in ulcerative colitis patients(90%) .The differences were statistically significant(P = 0.01-0.001) .Lower number of bifidobacteria was observed in the whole IBD group.A relation was also found between clinical and endoscopic severity and decreased numbers of Lactobacillus and,to a lesser extent,of Streptococcus in biopsies from CD patients.The mucus layer in the inflamed sites was significantly thinner as compared to controls(P = 0.0033) and to non-inflamed areas in IBD patients(P = 0.031) .CONCLUSION:The significantly thinner mucosa of IBD patients showed a predominance of some aerobes specific for particular diseases,their numbers decreased in relation to higher clinical and endoscopic activity of the disease. | Krzysztof Fyderek Magdalena Strus Kinga Kowalska-Duplaga Tomasz Gosiewski Andrzej Wedrychowicz Urszula Jedynak-Wasowicz Malgorzata Sladek Stanislaw Pieczarkowski Pawel Adamski Piotr Kochan Piotr B Heczko | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，42： | 14 |
| 8 | Comparison of the standard Euler-Euler and hybrid Euler-Lagrange approaches for modeling particle transport in a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed显示文摘Particle transport phenomena in small-scale circulating fluidized beds(CFB) can be simulated using the Euler-Euler,discrete element method,and Euler-Lagrange approaches.In this work,a hybrid Euler-Lagrange model known as the dense discrete phase model(DDPM),which has common roots with the multiphase particle-in-cell model,was applied in simulating particle transport within a mid-sized experimental CFB facility.Implementation of the DDPM into the commercial ANSYS Fluent CFD package is relatively young in comparison with the granular Eulerian model.For that reason,validation of the DDPM approach against experimental data is still required and is addressed in this paper.Additional difficulties encountered in modeling fluidization processes are connected with long calculation times.To reduce times,the complete boiler models are simplified to include just the combustion chamber.Such simplifications introduce errors in the predicted solid distribution in the boiler.To investigate the consequences of model reduction,simulations were made using the simplified and complete pilot geometries and compared with experimental data.All simulations were performed using the ANSYSFLUENT 14.0 package.A set of user defined functions were used in the hybrid DDPM and Euler-Euler approaches to recirculate solid particles. | Wojciech P.Adamczyk Adam Klimanek Ryszard A.Biaecki Gabriel Wecel Pawe Kozolub Tomasz Czakiert | 2014 | Particuology2014，12，4： | 13 |
| 9 | More anxious than depressed:prevalence and correlates in a 15-nation study of anxiety disorders in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus显示文摘Background Anxiety disorder, one of the highly disabling, prevalent and common mental disorders, is known to be more prevalent in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than the general population, and the comorbid presence of anxiety disorders is known to have an impact on the diabetes outcome and the quality of life. However, the information on the type of anxiety disorder and its prevalence in persons with T2DM is limited. Aims To assess the prevalence and correlates of anxiety disorder in people with type 2 diabetes in different countries. Methods People aged 18-65 years with diabetes and treated in outpatient settings were recruited in 15 countries and underwent a psychiatric interview with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Demographic and medical record data were collected. Results A total of 3170 people with type 2 diabetes (56.2% women;with mean (SD) duration of diabetes 10.01 (7.0) years) participated. The overall prevalence of anxiety disorders in type 2 diabetic persons was 18%;however, 2.8% of the study population had more than one type of anxiety disorder. The most prevalent anxiety disorders were generalised anxiety disorder (8.1%) and panic disorder (5.1%). Female gender, presence of diabetic complications, longer duration of diabetes and poorer glycaemic control (HbA1c levels) were significantly associated with comorbid anxiety disorder. A higher prevalence of anxiety disorders was observed in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and Argentina with a lower prevalence in Bangladesh and India. Conclusions Our international study shows that people with type 2 diabetes have a high prevalence of anxiety disorders, especially women, those with diabetic complications, those with a longer duration of diabetes and poorer glycaemic control. Early identification and appropriate timely care of psychiatric problems of people with type 2 diabetes is warranted. | Santosh K Chaturvedi Shayanth Manche Gowda Helal Uddin Ahmed Fahad D Alosaimi Nicola Andreone Alexey Bobrov Viola Bulgari Giuseppe Carra Gianluca Castelnuovo Giovanni de Girolamo Tomasz Gondek Nikola Jovanovic Thummala Kamala Andrzej Ki Nebojsa Lalic Dusica Lecic-Tosevski Fareed Minhas Victoria Mutiso David Ndetei Golam Rabbani Suntibenchakul Somruk Sathyanarayana Srikanta Rizwan Taj Umberto Valentini Olivera Vukovic Wolfgang Wolwer Larry Cimino Arie Nouwen Cathy Lloyd Norman Sartorius | 2019 | General Psychiatry2019，32，4： | 11 |
| 10 | Improved glucose metabolism following bariatric surgery is associated with increased circulating bile acid concentrations and remodeling of the gut microbiome显示文摘Clinical studies have indicated that circulating bile acid(BA) concentrations increase following bariatric surgery, especially following malabsorptive procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses(RYGB). Moreover, total circulating BA concentrations in patients following RYGB are positively correlated with serum glucagonlike peptide-1 concentrations and inversely correlated with postprandial glucose concentrations. Overall, these data suggest that the increased circulating BA concentrations following bariatric surgery- independently of calorie restriction and body-weight loss- could contribute, at least in part, to improvements in insulin sensitivity, incretin hormone secretion, and postprandial glycemia, leading to the remission of type-2 diabetes(T2DM). In humans, the primary and secondary BA pool size is dependent on the rate of biosynthesis and the enterohepatic circulation of BAs, as well as on the gut microbiota, which play a crucial role in BA biotransformation. Moreover, BAs and gut microbiota are closely integrated and affect each other. Thus, the alterations in bile flow that result from anatomical changes caused by bariatric surgery and changes in gutmicrobiome may influence circulating BA concentrations and could subsequently contribute to T2 DM remission following RYGB. Research data coming largely from animal and cell culture models suggest that BAs can contribute, via nuclear farnezoid X receptor(FXR) and membrane G-protein-receptor(TGR-5), to beneficial effects on glucose metabolism. It is therefore likely that FXR, TGR-5, and BAs play a similar role in glucose metabolism following bariatric surgery in humans. The objective of this review is to discuss in detail the results of published studies that show how bariatric surgery affects glucose metabolism and subsequently T2 DM remission. | Lukasz Kaska Tomasz Sledzinski Agnieszka Chomiczewska Agnieszka Dettlaff-Pokora Julian Swierczynski | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，39： | 11 |

Moreover, an example of a two-unit system maintenance process is provided in order to compare various maintenance policies. | Tomasz Nowakowski Sylwia Werbin'ka | 2009 | International Journal of Automation and computing2009，6，4： | 10 |
| 12 | Similarities and differences between mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells derived from various human tissues显示文摘BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) constitute a promising tool in regenerative medicine and can be isolated from different human tissues. However, their biological properties are still not fully characterized. Whereas MSCs from different tissue exhibit many common characteristics, their biological activity and some markers are different and depend on their tissue of origin. Understanding the factors that underlie MSC biology should constitute important points for consideration for researchers interested in clinical MSC application. AIM To characterize the biological activity of MSCs during longterm culture isolated from: bone marrow (BM-MSCs), adipose tissue (AT-MSCs), skeletal muscles (SMMSCs), and skin (SK-MSCs). METHODS MSCs were isolated from the tissues, cultured for 10 passages, and assessed for: phenotype with immunofluorescence and flow cytometry, multipotency with differentiation capacity for osteo-, chondro-, and adipogenesis, stemness markers with qPCR for mRNA for Sox2 and Oct4, and genetic stability for p53 and c-Myc;27 bioactive factors were screened using the multiplex ELISA array, and spontaneous fusion involving a co-culture of SM-MSCs with BM-MSCs or AT-MSCs stained with PKH26 (red) or PKH67 (green) was performed. RESULTS All MSCs showed the basic MSC phenotype;however, their expression decreased during the follow-up period, as confirmed by fluorescence intensity. The examined MSCs express CD146 marker associated with proangiogenic properties;however their expression decreased in AT-MSCs and SM-MSCs, but was maintained in BM-MSCs. In contrast, in SK-MSCs CD146 expression increased in late passages. All MSCs, except BM-MSCs, expressed PW1, a marker associated with differentiation capacity and apoptosis. BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs expressed stemness markers Sox2 and Oct4 in long-term culture. All MSCs showed a stable p53 and c-Myc expression. BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs maintained their differentiation capacity during the follow-up period. In contrast, SK-MSCs and SM-MSCs had a limited ability to differentiate into adipocytes. BM-MSCs and AT-MSCs revealed similarities in phenotype maintenance, capacity for multilineage differentiation, and secretion of bioactive factors. Because AT-MSCs fused with SM-MSCs as effectively as BM-MSCs, AT-MSCs may constitute an alternative source for BM-MSCs. CONCLUSION Long-term culture affects the biological activity of MSCs obtained from various tissues. The source of MSCs and number of passages are important considerations in regenerative medicine. | Urszula Kozlowska Agnieszka Krawczenko Katarzyna Futoma Tomasz Jurek Marta Rorat Dariusz Patrzalek Aleksandra Klimczak | 2019 | World Journal of Stem Cells2019，11，6： | 10 |
| 13 | Effect of NCPB and VSPL on pain and quality of life in chronic pancreatitis patients显示文摘AIM: To compare the effects of neurolytic celiac plexus block (NCPB) and videothoracoscopic splanchnicectomy (VSPL) on pain and quality of life of chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients.METHODS: Forty-eight small duct CP patients were treated invasively with NCPB (n = 30) or VSPL (n = 18) in two non-randomized, prospective, case-controlled protocols due to chronic pain syndrome, and compared to a control group who were treated conservatively (n = 32). Visual analog scales were used to assess pain and opioid consumption rate was evaluated. In addition, the quality of life was measured using QLQ C-30 for NCPB and FACIT for VSPL.Although both questionnaires covered similar problems,they could not be compared directly one with another.Therefore, the studies were compared by meta-analysis methodology.RESULTS: Both procedures resulted in a significant positive effect on pain of CP patients. Opioids were withdrawn totally in 47.0% of NCPB and 36.4% of VSPL patients,and reduced in 53.0% and 45.4% of the respective patient groups. No reduction in opioid usage was observed in the control group. In addition, fatigue and emotional well-being showed improvements. Finally, NCPB demonstrated stronger positive effects on social support, which might possibly be attributed to earlier presentation of patients treated with NCPB.CONCLUSION: Both invasive pain treatment methods are effective in CP patients with chronic pain. | Andrzej Basinski Tomasz Stefaniak Ad Vingerhoets Wojciech Makarewicz Lukasz Kaska Aleksander Stanek Andrzej J.Lachinski Zbigniew Sledzinski | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005，11，32： | 10 |
| 14 | Endothelial dysfunction in inflammatory bowel diseases:Pathogenesis,assessment and implications显示文摘Endothelial dysfunction is considered one of the etiological factors of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). An inflammatory process leads to functional and structural changes in the vascular endothelium. An increase of leukocyte adhesiveness and leukocyte diapedesis, as well as an increased vascular smooth muscle tone and procoagulant activity is observed. Structural changes of the vascular endothelium comprise as well capillary and venule remodeling and proliferation of endothelial cells. Hypoxia in the inflammatory area stimulates angiogenesis by upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor, fibroblast growth factor and tumor necrosis factor-α. Inflammatory mediators also alter the lymphatic vessel function and impair lymph flow, exacerbating tissue edema and accumulation of dead cells and bacteria. The endothelial dysfunction might be diagnosed by the use of two main methods: physical and biochemical. Physical methods are based on the assessment of large arteries vasodilatation in response to an increased flow and receptors stimulation. Flowmediated vasodilatation(FMD) is the method that is the most widely used; however, it is less sensitive in detecting early changes of the endothelium function. Most of the studies demonstrated a decrease of FMD in IBD patients but no changes in the carotic intima-media thickness. Biochemical methods of detecting the endothelial dysfunction are based on the assessment of the synthesis of compounds produced both by the normal and damaged endothelium. The endothelial dysfunction is considered an initial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in the general population. In IBD patients, the risk of cardiovascular diseases is controversial. Large, prospective studies are needed to establish the role of particular medications or dietary elements in the endothelial dysfunction as well to determine the real risk of cardiovascular diseases. | Dorota Cibor Renata Domagala-Rodacka Tomasz Rodacki Artur Jurczyszyn Tomasz Mach Danuta Owczarek | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，3： | 10 |
| 15 | Allele-aware chromosome-level genome assembly of Artemisia annua reveals the correlation between ADS expansion and artemisinin yield显示文摘Artemisia annua is the major natural source of artemisinin,an anti-malarial medicine commonly used worldwide.Here,we present chromosome-level haploid maps for two A.annua strains with different artemisinin contents to explore the relationships between genomic organization and artemisinin production.High-fidelity sequencing,optical mapping,and chromatin conformation capture sequencing were used to assemble the heterogeneous and repetitive genome and resolve the haplotypes of A.annua.Approximately 5o,ooo genes were annotated for each haplotype genome,and a triplication event that occurred approximately 58.12million years ago was examined for the first time in this species.A total of 3,903,467-5,193,414 variants(SNPs,indels,and structural variants)were identified in the 1.5-Gb genome during pairwise comparison between haplotypes,consistent with the high heterozygosity of this species.Genomic analyses revealed a correlation between artemisinin concents and the copy number of amorpha-4,11-dienes ynthasegenes.This correlation was further confirmed by resequencing of 36A.annua samples with varied artemisinin contents.Circular consensus sequencing of transcripts facilitated the detection of paralog expression.Collectively,our study provides chromosome-level allele-aware genome assemblies for two A.annua strains and new insights into the biosynthesis of artemisinin and its regulation,which will contribute to conquering malaria worldwide. | Baosheng Liao Xiaofeng Shen Li Xiang Shuai Guo Shiyu Chen Ying Meng Yu Liang Dandan Ding Junqi Bai Dong Zhang Tomasz Czechowski Yi Li Hui Yao Tingyu Mai Caroline Howard Chao Sun Haitao Liu Jiushi Liu Jin Pei Jihai Gao Jigang Wang Xiaohui Qiu Zhihai Huang Hongyi Li Ling Yuan Jianhe Wei lan Graham Jiang Xu Boli Zhang Shilin Chen | 2022 | Molecular Plant2022，15，8： | 9 |
| 16 | Coronary artery calcification in chronic kidney disease:An update显示文摘Arterial calcification is a well-recognized complication of advanced atherosclerosis.Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is characterized by significantly more pronounced,dis-seminated and fast-progressing calcification of the vascular system,including the coronary arteries.New computed tomography-based imaging techniques al-low for the noninvasive assessment and monitoring of calcification in different vascular sites.Coronary artery calcification(CAC) develops early in the course of CKD and is tightly associated with mineral and bone disor-ders,which include but are not limited to secondary hyperparathyroidism.In this review,recent data on the pathogenesis of CAC development and progression are discussed,with a special emphasis on fibroblast growth factor 23 and its co-receptor,klotho.The prevalence,progression and prognostic significance of CAC are reviewed separately for patients with end-stage renal disease treated with dialysis,kidney transplant recipi-ents and patients with earlier stages of CKD.In the last section,therapeutic considerations are discussed,with special attention paid to the importance of treatment that addresses mineral and bone disorders of CKD. | Tomasz Stompór | 2014 | World Journal of Cardiology2014，6，4： | 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 | Secretion of melatonin and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin urinary excretion in functional dyspepsia显示文摘AIM:To evaluate blood concentration of melatonin and urinary excretion of its metabolite,6-sulfatoxymelatonin(6-OHMS),in functional dyspepsia(FD).METHODS:Ninety individuals were enrolled in the study:30 in each study group:patients with postprandial distress syndrome(PDS),epigastric pain syndrome(EPS),and controls.Blood samples were drawn at 02:00 and 09:00 h and 24-h urine collection was performed.Serum melatonin and urinary 6-OHMS concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS:Serum melatonin concentration at night and in the morning was significantly(P < 0.001) higher in PDS patients [at 02:00 h-93.3 pg/mL,quartile range(QR):79.8-116.2;at 09.00 h-14.3 pg/mL,QR:7.06-19.0] than in EPS(57.2 pg/mL,QR:42.6-73.1;8.1 pg/mL,QR:4.1-9.3) and control patients(57.7 pg/mL,QR:51.2-62.5;8.1 pg/mL,QR:5.4-10.3).A similar relationship was observed for urinary 6-OHMS excretion.Patients with severe PDS symptoms had a higher melatonin concentration than these with moderate syndromes,whereas patients with severe EPS had a lower urinary 6-OHMS excretion than patients with moderate symptoms.CONCLUSION:Evaluation of melatonin serum concentrations and 24-h urinary 6-OHMS excretion are useful methods for differential diagnosis of various clinical forms of FD. | Cezary Chojnacki Tomasz Poplawski Grazyna Klupinska Janusz Blasiak Jan Chojnacki Russel J Reiter | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，21： | 8 |
| 20 | Multi-scale chemo-mechanical analysis of the slip surface of landslides in the Three Gorges, China显示文摘Multi-scale chemo-mechanical effects and microscopic failure modes are explored in the evolution of strength change of slip surface. Direct shear equipments, scanning electro-microscope and X-ray diffraction are used to trace the change in strength of remodeled soils of slip surfaces in the Three Gorges area. Results show that there is a release of alkali metals and concentration of clay minerals on the surface. During the tests, potassium ions were released, the cementation was reduced, and the ratio of interlayer minerals varied associated with strength change. Accordingly, illites or montmorillonite-illite mixtures turned into montmorillonite. So the strength change originates from the release of alkali metal ions on molecular scale that leads to the concentration and transition of clay minerals on meso-scale. The evolution of slip surface and soil strength is a typical process involving multi-scale processes of structure changes and chemo-mechanical coupling. | ZHAO Yu CUI Peng HU LiangBo Tomasz HUECKEL | 2011 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2011，54，7： | 7 |
