| 2 | Helicobacter pylori in dental plaque and stomach of patients from Northern Brazil显示文摘AIM: To establish whether virulence factor genes vacA and cagA are present in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) retrieved from gastric mucosa and dental plaque in pa-tients with dyspepsia. METHODS: Cumulative dental plaque specimens and gastric biopsies were submitted to histological exami-nation, rapid urease test and polymerase chain reac-tion (PCR) assays to detect the presence of cagA and vacA polymorphisms.RESULTS: Detection of H. pylori from dental plaque and gastric biopsy samples was greater by PCR com-pared to histological examination and the rapid ure-ase test. DNA from H. pylori was detected in 96% of gastric mucosa samples and in 72% of dental plaque samples. Sixty-three (89%) of 71 dental plaque sam-ples that were H. pylori-positive also exhibited identical vacA and cagA genotypes in gastric mucosa. The most common genotype was vacAs1bm1 and cagA positive, either in dental plaque or gastric mucosa. These viru-lent H. pylori isolates were involved in the severity of clinical outcome.CONCLUSION: These pathogenic strains were found simultaneously in dental plaque and gastric mucosa, which suggests that gastric infection is correlated with the presence of H. pylori in the mouth. | Mnica Baraúna Assumpo Luisa Caricio Martins Hivana Patricia Melo Barbosa Katarine Antonia dos Santos Barile Sintia Silva de Almeida Paulo Pimentel Assumpo Tereza Cristina de Oliveira Corvelo | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,24: | 29 |
| 3 | Long-term outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma that underwent chemoembolization for bridging or downstaging显示文摘BACKGROUND Prospective study of 200 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)that underwent liver transplant(LT)after drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization(DEB-TACE)for downstaging versus bridging.Overall survival and tumor recurrence rates were calculated,eligibility for LT,time on the waiting list and radiological response were compared.After TACE,only patients within Milan Criteria(MC)were transplanted.More patients underwent LT in bridging group.Five-year post-transplant overall survival,recurrence-free survival has no difference between the groups.Complete response was observed more frequently in bridging group.Patients in DS group can achieve posttransplant survival and HCC recurrence-free probability,at five years,just like patients within MC in patients undergoing DEB-TACE.AIM To determine long-term outcomes of patients with HCC that underwent LT after DEB-TACE for downstaging vs bridging.METHODS Prospective cohort study of 200 patients included from April 2011 through June 2014.Bridging group included patients within MC.Downstaging group(out of MC)was divided in 5 subgroups(G1 to G5).Total tumor diameter was≤8 cm for G1,2,3,4(n=42)and was>8 cm for G5(n=22).Downstaging(n=64)and bridging(n=136)populations were not significantly different.Overall survival and tumor recurrence rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method.Additionally,eligibility for LT,time on the waiting list until LT and radiological response were compared.RESULTS After TACE,only patients within MC were transplanted.More patients underwent LT in bridging group 65.9%(P=0.001).Downstaging population presented:higher number of nodules 2.81(P=0.001);larger total tumor diameter 8.09(P=0.001);multifocal HCC 78%(P=0.001);more post-transplantation recurrence 25%(P=0.02).Patients with maximal tumor diameter up to 7.05 cm were more likely to receive LT(P=0.005).Median time on the waiting list was significantly longer in downstaging group 10.6 mo(P=0.028).Five-year posttransplant overall survival was 73.5%in downstaging and 72.3%bridging groups(P=0.31),and recurrence-free survival was 62.1%in downstaging and 74.8%bridging groups(P=0.93).Radiological response:complete response was observed more frequently in bridging group(P=0.004).CONCLUSION Tumors initially exceeding the MC down-staged after DEB-TACE,can achieve post-transplant survival and HCC recurrence-free probability,at five years,just like patients within MC in patients undergoing DEB-TACE. | Breno Boueri Affonso Francisco Leonardo Galastri Joaquim Mauricio da Motta Leal Filho Felipe Nasser Priscila Mina Falsarella Rafael Noronha Cavalcante Marcio Dias de Almeida Guilherme Eduardo Goncalves Felga Leonardo Guedes Moreira Valle Nelson Wolosker | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,37: | 21 |
| 4 | Role of diet and gut microbiota on colorectal cancer immunomodulation显示文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers, and it is characterized by genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as by inflammatory cell infiltration among malignant and stromal cells. However, this dynamic infiltration can be influenced by the microenvironment to promote tumor proliferation, survival and metastasis or cancer inhibition. In particular, the cancer microenvironment metabolites can regulate the inflammatory cells to induce a chronic inflammatory response that can be a predisposing condition for CRC retention. In addition, some nutritional components might contribute to a chronic inflammatory condition by regulating various immune and inflammatory pathways. Besides that, diet strongly modulates the gut microbiota composition,which has a key role in maintaining gut homeostasis and is associated with the modulation of host inflammatory and immune responses. Therefore, diet has a fundamental role in CRC initiation, progression and prevention. In particular,functional foods such as probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics can have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition and have antiinflammatory effects. In this review, we discuss the influence of diet on gut microbiota composition, focusing on its role on gut inflammation and immunity.Finally, we describe the potential benefits of using probiotics and prebiotics to modulate the host inflammatory response, as well as its application in CRC prevention and treatment. | Carolina Vieira De Almeida Marcela Rodrigues de Camargo Edda Russo Amedeo Amedei | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,2: | 16 |
| 5 | Risk factors, surgical complications and graft survival in liver transplant recipients with early allograft dysfunction显示文摘Background: Early allograft dysfunction (EAD) is a severe complication after liver transplantation. The associated risk factors and complications have re-gained recent interest. This study investigated risk factors, survival and complications associated with EAD in a large liver transplant center in Latin America. Methods: Retrospective, unicenter, cohort, based on data from adult patients undergoing first deceaseddonor liver transplant from January 2009 to December 2013. EAD was defined by one or more of the following:(i) bilirubin ≥10 mg/dL on postoperative day 7;(ii) international normalized ratio ≥1.6 on postoperative day 7, and (iii) alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase > 2000 IU/L within the first seven days after transplant. Results: A total of 602 patients were included;of these 34.2% developed EAD. Donor risk factors were male ( P = 0.007), age between 50 and 59 years ( P = 0.034), overweight ( P = 0.028) or grade I obesity ( P = 0.012), sodium > 157 mmol/L ( P = 0.002) and grade IV ischemia/reperfusion injury ( P = 0.002). Cold ischemia time ≥10 h ( P = 0.008) and warm ischemia time ≥40 min ( P = 0.013) were the surgical factors. Male ( P < 0.001) was the only recipient protective factor. Compared with the non-EAD group, patients with EAD were submitted to more reoperations (24.3% vs. 13.4%, P = 0.001) and had higher graft loss rates (37.9% vs. 21.2%, P < 0.001), with similar patient survival rates ( P = 0.238). Conclusions: EAD risk factors are related to donor, surgical procedure and recipient. Donor risk factors for EAD were male, age between 50 and 59 years, donor overweight or grade Ⅰ obesity, sodium > 157 mmol/L and grade Ⅳ ischemia/reperfusion injury. Cold ischemia time ≥10 h and warm ischemia time ≥40 min were the surgical risk factors. Male was the only recipient protective factor. Patients with EAD had higher reoperations and graft loss rates. | Douglas Bastos-Neves Paolo Rogerio de Oliveira Salvalaggio Marcio Dias de Almeida | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,5: | 15 |
| 6 | Probiotics as a complementary therapeutic approach in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is currently recognized as one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease. It involves a spectrum of conditionsthat include pure steatosis without inflammation, steatohepatitis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. The key factor in the pathophysiology of NAFLD is insulin resistance that determines lipid accumulation in the hepatocytes and, thus, oxidative stress, which is followed by inflammatory response. However, NAFLD pathogenesis is still largely unknown and has been extensively investigated. Although life style modification with the aim of losing weight has been advocated to treat this disorder, its effectiveness is limited; additionally, there is no specific pharmacologic treatment until nowadays. Recent evidence suggests that the gut microbiota may play a role in the development of insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, necroinflammation and fibrosis. Differences in gut microbiota between NAFLD patients and lean individuals as well as presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in NAFLD subjects have been demonstrated. Furthermore, some data indicate that the immunoregulatory effects of probiotics may be beneficial in NAFLD treatment as they modulate the intestinal microbiota; improve epithelial barrier function and strengthen the intestinal wall decreasing its permeability; reduce bacterial translocation and endotoxemia; improve intestinal inflammation; and reduce oxidative and inflammatory liver damage. In this article, we review the clinical trials on the use of probiotics in the treatment of NAFLD and discuss the effects of these agents and their efficacy as an emerging therapeutic resource to treat NAFLD patients. | Silvia Marinho Ferolla Geyza Nogueira de Almeida Armiliato Claudia Alves Couto Teresa Cristina Abreu Ferrari | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,3: | 13 |
| 7 | Injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by intravenous or intraperitoneal routes is a viable alternative to spinal cord injury treatment in mice显示文摘In spite of advances in surgical care and rehabilitation,the consequences of spinal cord injury(SCI)ar still challenging.Several experimental therapeutic strategies have been studied in the SCI field,and recen advances have led to the development of therapies that may act on the inhibitory microenvironment.As sorted lineages of stem cells are considered a good treatment for SCI.This study investigated the effect o systemic transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)in a compressive SCI model.Here we presen results of the intraperitoneal route,which has not been used previously for MSC administration after comveI.WeafC57BL/6nt lmy atb spinal cord compression for 1 minute with a 30-g vascular clip.The animals were divided into five groups DMEM at 7 days after SCI),DMEM i.v.(intravenous injection of 500μL of DMEM at 7 days after SCI)The effects of MSCs transplantation in white matter sparing were analyzed by luxol fast blue staining.Th number of preserved fibers was counted in semithin sections stained with toluidine blue and the presenc of trophic factors was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.In addition,we analyzed the locomotor perfor mance with Basso Mouse Scale and Global Mobility Test.Our results showed white matter preservation and a larger number of preserved fibers in the MSC groups than in the DMEM groups.Furthermore,th MSC groups had higher levels of trophic factors(brain-derived neurotrophic factor,nerve growth factor neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4)in the spinal cord and improved locomotor performance.Our result indicate that injection of MSCs by either intraperitoneal or intravenous routes results in beneficial out comes and can be elected as a choice for SCI treatment. | Bruna dos Santos Ramalho FernANDa Martins de Almeida Conrado Mendonca Sales Silmara de Lima Ana Maria Blanco Martinez | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,6: | 12 |
| 8 | WJSC 6^(th) Anniversary Special Issues(2):Mesenchymal stem cells Neurotrauma and mesenchymal stem cells treatment:From experimental studies to clinical trials显示文摘Mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)therapy has attracted the attention of scientists and clinicians around the world.Basic and pre-clinical experimental studies have highlighted the positive effects of MSC treatment after spinal cord and peripheral nerve injury.These effects are believed to be due to their ability to differentiate into other cell lineages,modulate inflammatory and immunomodulatory responses,reduce cell apoptosis,secrete several neurotrophic factors and respond to tissue injury,among others.There are many pre-clinical studies on MSC treatment for spinal cord injury(SCI)and peripheral nerve injuries.However,the same is not true for clinical trials,particularly those concerned with nerve trauma,indicating the necessity of more well-constructed studies showing the benefits that cell therapy can provide for individuals suffering the consequences of nerve lesions.As for clinical trials for SCI treatment the results obtained so far are not as beneficial as those described in experimental studies.For these reasons basic and pre-clinical studies dealing with MSC therapy should emphasize the standardization of protocols that could be translated to the clinical set with consistent and positive outcomes.This review is based on pre-clinical studies and clinical trials available in the literature from 2010 until now.At the time of writing this article there were 43 and 36 pre-clinical and 19 and 1 clinical trials on injured spinal cord and peripheral nerves,respectively. | Ana Maria Blanco Martinez Camila de Oliveira Goulart Bruna dos Santos Ramalho Júlia Teixeira Oliveira Fernanda Martins Almeida | 2014 | World Journal of Stem Cells2014,6,2: | 11 |
| 9 | Fatty liver disease in severe obese patients:Diagnostic value of abdominal ultrasound显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of abdominal ultrasound (US) for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis in severe obese subjects and its relation to histological grade of steatosis. METHODS: A consecutive series of obese patients, who underwent bariatric surgery from October 2004 to May 2005, was selected. Ultrasonography was performed in all patients as part of routine preoperative time and an intraoperative wedge biopsy was obtained at the beginning of the bariatric surgery. The US and histological findings of steatosis were compared, considering histology as the gold standard. RESULTS: The study included 105 patients. The mean age was 37.2 ± 10.6 years and 75.2% were female. The histological prevalence of steatosis was 89.5%. The sensitivity and specificity of US in the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis were, respectively, 64.9% (95% CI: 54.9-74.3) and 90.9% (95% CI: 57.1-99.5). The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were, respectively, 98.4% (95% CI: 90.2-99.9) and 23.3% (95% CI: 12.3-39.0). The presence of steatosis onUS was associated to advanced grades of steatosis on histology (P = 0.016). CONCLUSION: Preoperative abdominal US in our series has not shown to be an accurate method for the diagnosis of hepatic steatosis in severe obese patients. Until another non-invasive method demonstrates better sensitivity and specificity values, histological evaluation may be recommended to these patients undergoing bariatric surgery. | Alessandro de Moura Almeida Helma Pinchemel Cotrim Daniel Batista Valente Barbosa Luciana Gordilho Matteoni de Athayde Adimeia Souza Santos Almir Galvo Vieira Bitencourt Luiz Antonio Rodrigues de Freitas Adriano Rios Erivaldo Alves | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,9: | 10 |
| 10 | Endoscopic stenting for inoperable malignant biliary obstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘AIM: To analyze through meta-analyses the benefits of two types of stents in the inoperable malignant biliary obstruction.METHODS: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials(RCT) was conducted, with the last update on March 2015, using EMBASE, CINAHL(EBSCO), MEDLINE, LILACS/CENTRAL(BVS), SCOPUS, CAPES(Brazil), and gray literature. Information of the selected studies was extracted in sight of six outcomes: primarily regarding dysfunction, complication and reintervention rates; and secondarily costs, survival, and patency time. The data about characteristics of trial participants, inclusion and exclusion criteria and types of stents were also extracted. The bias was mainly assessed through the JADAD scale. This meta-analysis was registered in the PROSPERO database by the number CRD42014015078. The analysis of the absolute risk of the outcomes was performed using the software Rev Man, by computing risk differences(RD) of dichotomous variables and mean differences(MD) of continuous variables. Data on RD and MD for each primary outcome were calculated using the MantelHaenszel test and inconsistency was qualified and reported in χ2 and the Higgins method(I2). Sensitivity analysis was performed when heterogeneity was higher than 50%, a subsequent assay was done and other findings were compiled. Student's t-test was used for the comparison of weighted arithmetic means regarding secondary outcomes.RESULTS: Initial searching identified 3660 studies; 3539 were excluded through title, repetition, and/or abstract, while 121 studies were fully assessed and were excluded mainly because they did not compare self-expanding metal stents(SEMS) and plastic stents(PS), leading to thirteen RCT selected, with 13 articles and 1133 subjects meta-analyzed. The mean age was 69.5 years old, that were affected mostly by bile duct(proximal) and pancreatic tumors(distal). The preferred SEMS diameter used was the 10 mm(30 Fr) and the preferred PS diameter used was 10 Fr. In the metaanalysis, SEMS had lower overall stent dysfunction compared to PS(21.6% vs 46.8%, P < 0.00001) and fewer re-interventions(21.6% vs 56.6%, P < 0.00001), with no difference in complications(13.7% vs 15.9%, P = 0.16). In the secondary analysis, the mean survival rate was higher in the SEMS group(182 d vs 150 d, P < 0.0001), with a higher patency period(250 d vs 124 d, P < 0.0001) and a lower cost per patient(4193.98 vs 4728.65 Euros, P < 0.0985).CONCLUSION: SEMS are associated with lower stent dysfunction, lower re-intervention rates, better survival, and higher patency time. Complications and costs showed no difference. | Leonardo Zorrón Pu Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux de Moura Wanderley Marques Bernardo Felipe Iankelevich Baracat Ernesto Quaresma Mendonca AndréKondo Gustavo Oliveira Luz Carlos Kiyoshi Furuya Júnior Everson Luiz de Almeida Artifon | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,47: | 10 |

| 12 | Association between Helicobacterpylori, Epstein-Barr virus, human papillomavirus and gastric adenocarcinomas显示文摘AIM To correlate Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori), Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) and human papillomavirus(HPV) with gastric cancer(GC) cases in Pará State, Brazil.METHODS Tissue samples were obtained from 302 gastric adenocarcinomas. A rapid urease test was used to detect the presence of H. pylori, and the presence of the cagA gene in the HP-positive samples was confirmed by PCR. An RNA in situ hybridization test designed to complement Eber1 RNA was used to detect the presence of EBV in the samples, and the L1 region of HPV was detected using nested PCR. Positive HPV samples were genotyped and analyzed for E6 and E7 viral gene expression. Infections were also correlated with the clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients.RESULTS The majority of the 302 samples analyzed were obtained from men(65%) aged 55 years or older(67%) and were classified as the intestinal subtype(55%). All three pathogens were found in the samples analyzed in the present study(H. pylori : 87%, EBV: 20%, HPV: 3%). Overall, 78% of the H. pylori-positive(H. pylori+) samples were cag A +(H. pylori-cag A+), and there was an association between the cytotoxic product of this gene and EBV. Coinfections of H. pylori-cagA+ and EBV were correlated with the most advanced tumor stages. Although only 20% of the tumors were positive for EBV, infection with this virus was associated with distant metastasis. Only the HPV 16 and 18 strains were found in the samples, although no expression of the E6 and E7 oncoproteins was detected. The fundus of the stomach was the region least affected by the pathogens.CONCLUSION HPV was not involved in gastric tumorigenesis. Prophylactic and therapeutic measures against H. pylori and EBV may prevent the development of GC, especially the more aggressive forms. | Carolina Rosal Teixeira de Souza Marcelli Carolini Alves Almeida Andre Salim Khayat Emerson Lucena da Silva Paulo Cardoso Soares Luiz Claudio Chaves Rommel Mario Rodriguez Burbano | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,43: | 6 |
| 13 | Mercury in aquatic fauna contamination:A systematic review on its dynamics and potential health risks显示文摘Mercury is an important pollutant,released into aquatic ecosystems both naturally and by anthropogenic action.This element is transferred to aquatic organisms in different ways,causing potential health risks.In addition,mercury can be accumulated by humans,especially through the consumption of contaminated food.This systematic review aims to present mercury pathways,the major routes through which this element reaches the aquatic environment and its transformations until becoming available to living animals,leading to bioaccumulation and biomagnification phenomena.The key biotic and abiotic factors affecting such processes,the impact of mercury on animal and human health and the issue of seafood consumption as a source of chronic mercury contamination are also addressed.A total of 101 articles were retrieved from a standardized search on three databases(PubMed,Emabse,and Web of Science),in addition to 28 other studies not found on these databases but considered fundamental to this review(totaling 129 articles).Both biotic and abiotic factors display fundamental importance in mediating mercurial dynamics,i.e.,muscle tropism,and salinity,respectively.Consequently,mercurial contamination in aquatic environments affects animal health,especially the risk of extinction species and also on human health,with methylmercury the main mercury species responsible for acute and chronic symptomatology. | Paloma de Almeida Rodrigues Rafaela Gomes Ferrari Luciano Neves dos Santos Carlos Adam Conte Junior | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,10: | 6 |
| 14 | Embolization of splenorenal shunt associated to portal vein thrombosis and hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘Hepatic encephalopathy(HE)is a cognitive disturbance characterized by neuropsychiatric alterations.It occurs in acute and chronic hepatic disease and also in patients with portosystemic shunts.The presence of these portosystemic shunts allows the passage of nitrogenous substances from the intestines through systemic veins without liver depuration.Therefore,the embolization of these shunts has been performed tocontrol HE manifestations,but the presence of portal vein thrombosis is considered a contraindication.In this presentation we show a cirrhotic patient with severe HE and portal vein thrombosis who was submitted to embolization of a large portosystemic shunt.Case report:a 57 years-old cirrhotic patient who had been hospitalized many times for persistent HE and hepatic coma,even without precipitant factors.She had a wide portosystemic shunt and also portal vein thrombosis.The abdominal angiography confirmed the splenorenal shunt and showed other shunts.The larger shunt was embolized through placement of microcoils,and the patient had no recurrence of overt HE.There was a little increase of esophageal and gastric varices,but no endoscopic treatment was needed.Since portosystemic shunts are frequent causes of recurrent HE in cirrhotic patients,portal vein thrombosis should be considered a relative contraindication to perform a shunt embolization.However,in particular cases with many shunts and severe HE,we found that one of these shunts can be safely embolized and this procedure can be sufficient to obtain a good HE recovery.In conclusion,we reported a case of persistent HE due to a wide portosystemic shunt associated with portal vein thrombosis.As the patient had other shunts,she was successfully treated by embolization of the larger shunt. | Letícia de Campos Franzoni Fábio Cardoso de Carvalho Rafael Gomes de Almeida Garzon Fábio da Silva Yamashiro Laís Augusti Lívia Alves Amaral Santos Mariana de Souza Dorna Júlio Pinheiro Baima Talles Bazeia Lima Carlos Antonio Caramori Giovanni Faria Silva Fernando Gomes Romeiro | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,42: | 6 |
| 15 | Propofol vs traditional sedatives for sedation in endoscopy:A systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Propofol is commonly used for sedation during endoscopic procedures.Data suggests its superiority to traditional sedatives used in endoscopy including benzodiazepines and opioids with more rapid onset of action and improved postprocedure recovery times for patients.However,Propofol requires administration by trained healthcare providers,has a narrow therapeutic index,lacks an antidote and increases risks of cardio-pulmonary complications.AIM To compare,through a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis,sedation with propofol to traditional sedatives with or without propofol during endoscopic procedures.METHODS A literature search was performed using MEDLINE,Scopus,EMBASE,the Cochrane Library,Scopus,LILACS,BVS,Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,and The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases.The last search in the literature was performed on March,2019 with no restriction regarding the idiom or the year of publication.Only randomized clinical trials with full texts published were included.We divided sedation therapies to the following groups:(1)Propofol versus benzodiazepines and/or opiate sedatives;(2)Propofol versus Propofol with benzodiazepine and/or opioids;and(3)Propofol with adjunctive benzodiazepine and opioid versus benzodiazepine and opioid.The following outcomes were addressed:Adverse events,patient satisfaction with type of sedation,endoscopists satisfaction with sedation administered,dose of propofol administered and time to recovery post procedure.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5 software version 5.39.RESULTS A total of 23 clinical trials were included(n=3854)from the initial search of 6410 articles.For Group I(Propofol vs benzodiazepine and/or opioids):The incidence of bradycardia was not statistically different between both sedation arms(RD:-0.01,95%CI:-0.03–+0.01,I2:22%).In 10 studies,the incidence of hypotension was not statistically difference between sedation arms(RD:0.01,95%CI:-0.02–+0.04,I2:0%).Oxygen desaturation was higher in the propofol group but not statistically different between groups(RD:-0.03,95%CI:-0.06–+0.00,I2:25%).Patients were more satisfied with their sedation in the benzodiazepine+opioid group compared to those with monotherapy propofol sedation(MD:+0.89,95%CI:+0.62–+1.17,I2:39%).The recovery time after the procedure showed high heterogeneity even after outlier withdrawal,there was no statistical difference between both arms(MD:-15.15,95%CI:-31.85–+1.56,I2:99%).For Group II(Propofol vs propofol with benzodiazepine and/or opioids):Bradycardia had a tendency to occur in the Propofol group with benzodiazepine and/or opioidassociated(RD:-0.08,95%CI:-0.13–-0.02,I2:59%).There was no statistical difference in the incidence of bradycardia(RD:-0.00,95%CI:-0.08–+0.08,I2:85%),desaturation(RD:-0.00,95%CI:-0.03–+0.02,I2:44%)or recovery time(MD:-2.04,95%CI:-6.96–+2.88,I2:97%)between sedation arms.The total dose of propofol was higher in the propofol group with benzodiazepine and/or opiates but with high heterogeneity.(MD:70.36,95%CI:+53.11–+87.60,I2:61%).For Group III(Propofol with benzodiazepine and opioid vs benzodiazepine and opioid):Bradycardia and hypotension was not statistically significant between groups(RD:-0.00,95%CI:-0.002–+0.02,I2:3%;RD:0.04,95%CI:-0.05–+0.13,I2:77%).Desaturation was evaluated in two articles and was higher in the propofol+benzodiazepine+opioid group,but with high heterogeneity(RD:0.15,95%CI:0.08–+0.22,I2:95%).CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the use of propofol alone or in combination with traditional adjunctive sedatives is safe and does not result in an increase in negative outcomes in patients undergoing endoscopic procedures. | Aureo Augusto de Almeida Delgado Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de Moura Igor Braga Ribeiro Ahmad Najdat Bazarbashi Marcos Eduardo Lera dos Santos Wanderley Marques Bernardo Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux de Moura | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2019,11,12: | 6 |
| 16 | Bone marrow-derived monocyte infusion improves hepatic fibrosis by decreasing osteopontin,TGF-β1,IL-13 and oxidative stress显示文摘AIM To evaluate the therapeutic effects of bone marrowderived CD11b+CD14+ monocytes in a murine model of chronic liver damage. METHODS Chronic liver damage was induced in C57BL/6 mice by administration of carbon tetrachloride and ethanol for 6 mo. Bone marrow-derived monocytes isolated by immunomagnetic separation were used for therapy. The cell transplantation effects were evaluated by morphometry,biochemical assessment,immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS CD11b+CD14+ monocyte therapy significantly reduced liver fibrosis and increased hepatic glutathione levels. Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β,in addition to pro-fibrotic factors,such as IL-13,transforming growth factor-β1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 also decreased,while IL-10 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 increased in the monocytetreated group. CD11b+CD14+ monocyte transplantation caused significant changes in the hepatic expression of α-smooth muscle actin and osteopontin. CONCLUSION Monocyte therapy is capable of bringing about improvement of liver fibrosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation,as well as increasing antifibrogenic factors. | Veruska Cintia Alexandrino de Souza Thiago Almeida Pereira Valéria Wanderley Teixeira Helotonio Carvalho Maria Carolina Accioly Brelaz de Castro Carolline Guimaraes D’assuncao Andreia Ferreira de Barros Camila Lima Carvalho Virgínia Maria Barros de Lorena Vláudia Maria Assis Costa Alvaro Aguiar Coelho Teixeira Regina Celia Bressan Queiroz Figueiredo Sheilla Andrade de Oliveira | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,28: | 6 |
| 17 | Relationship between Th17 immune response and cancer显示文摘Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and epidemiological projections predict growing cancer mortality rates in the next decades.Cancer has a close relationship with the immune system and,although Th17 cells are known to play roles in the immune response against microorganisms and in autoimmunity,studies have emphasized their roles in cancer pathogenesis.The Th17 immune response profile is involved in several types of cancer including urogenital,respiratory,gastrointestinal,and skin cancers.This type of immune response exerts pro and antitumor functions through several mechanisms,depending on the context of each tumor,including the protumor angiogenesis and exhaustion of T cells and the antitumor recruitment of T cells and neutrophils to the tumor microenvironment.Among other factors,the paradoxical behavior of Th17 cells in this setting has been attributed to its plasticity potential,which makes possible their conversion into other types of T cells such as Th17/Treg and Th17/Th1 cells.Interleukin(IL)-17 stands out among Th17-related cytokines since it modulates pathways and interacts with other cell profiles in the tumor microenvironment,which allow Th17 cells to prevail in tumors.Moreover,the IL-17 is able to mediate pro and antitumor processes that influence the development and progression of various cancers,being associated with variable clinical outcomes.The understanding of the relationship between the Th17 immune response and cancer as well as the singularities of carcinogenic processes in each type of tumor is crucial for the identification of new therapeutic targets. | Hanna Santos Marques Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antônio França da Silva Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Júlio César Braga de Souza Thiago Macêdo Lopes Correia Luana Weber Lopes Nayara Silva de Macêdo Neres Rafael Santos Dantas Miranda Dórea Anna Carolina Saúde Dantas Lorena Lôbo Brito Morbeck Iasmin Souza Lima Amanda Alves de Almeida Maiara Raulina de Jesus Dias Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2021,12,10: | 5 |

| 19 | Low temperature,IBA concentrations and optimal time for adventitious rooting of Eucalyptus benthamii mini-cuttings显示文摘Eucalyptus benthamii is a forest species of economic interest that has difficulty with seed production and also is considered to have difficulty with adventitious rooting using propagation techniques,such as cutting or mini-cutting.We aimed to assess the adventitious rooting percentage under different storage times in low temperatures and at various IBA(indole-3-butyric acid) concentrations to determine the optimal time of permanence for rooting Eucalyptus benthamii minicuttings in a greenhouse.Shoots collected from mini-stumps cultivated in a semi-hydroponic system were used to obtain the mini-cuttings.For the first experiment,the mini-cuttings were stored at 4℃ for 0(immediate planting),24,48,72,96 and 120 h.The second experiment evaluated the rooting dynamic to determine the optimal time of permanence for minicuttings in a greenhouse.The basal region of the mini-cutting was treated with various IBA solutions:0(free of IBA),1,000,2,000,3,000 and 4,000 mg·L-1.Every seven days(0(immediate planting),7,14,21 and 28 days),destructive sampling of the mini-cuttings was performed to evaluate the histology of the adventitious rooting.Eucalyptus benthamii minicuttings should be rooted immediately after the collection of the shoots.The 2,000 mg·L-1 IBA concentration induced a greater speed and percentage of adventitious rooting,and an interval of 35 to 42 days was indicated for permanence of the mini-cuttings in the greenhouse.Exposure to low temperature induced adventitious root formation with diffuse vascular connections. | Gilvano Ebling Brondani Francisco JoséBenedini Baccarin Heron Wilhelmus de Wit Ondas JoséLuiz Stape Antonio Natal Gonçalves Marcilio de Almeida | 2012 | Journal of Forestry Research2012,23,4: | 5 |
| 20 | Biological processes and signal transduction pathwaysregulated by the protein methyltransferase SETD7 and theirsignificance in cancer显示文摘Protein methyltransferases have been shown to methylate histone and non-histone proteins,leading to regulation of several biological processes that control cell homeostasis.Over the past few years,the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7(SETD7;also known as SET7/9,KIAA1717,KMT7,SET7,SET9)has emerged as an important regulator of at least 30 non-histone proteins and a potential target for the treatment of several human diseases.This review discusses current knowledge of the structure and subcellular localization of SETD7,as well as its function as a histone and non-histone methyltransferase.This work also underlines the putative contribution of SETD7 to the regulation of gene expression,control of cell proliferation,differentiation and endoplasmic reticulum stress,which indicate that SETD7 is a candidate for novel targeted therapies with the aim of either stimulating or inhibiting its activity,depending on the cell signaling context. | Ines de Albuquerque Almeida Batista Luisa Alejandra Helguero | 2018 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2018,3,1: | 4 |
