| 1 | An update on the regulatory mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome activation显示文摘The NOD-,LRR-,and pyrin domain-containing protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome is a multiprotein complex involved in the release of mature interleukin-1βand triggering of pyroptosis,which is of paramount importance in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions.Over the past decade,considerable advances have been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the priming/licensing(Signal 1)and assembly(Signal 2)involved in NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Recently,a number of studies have indicated that the priming/licensing step is regulated by complicated mechanisms at both the transcriptional and posttranslational levels.In this review,we discuss the current understanding of the mechanistic details of NLRP3 inflammasome activation with a particular emphasis on protein-protein interactions,posttranslational modifications,and spatiotemporal regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome machinery.We also present a detailed summary of multiple positive and/or negative regulatory pathways providing upstream signals that culminate in NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly.A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying NLRP3 inflammasome activation will provide opportunities for the development of methods for the prevention and treatment of NLRP3 inflammasome-related diseases. | Seungwha Paik Jin Kyung Kim Prashanta Silwal Chihiro Sasakawa Eun-Kyeong Jo | 2021 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2021,18,5: | 43 |
| 2 | Preoperative biliary drainage in hilar cholangiocarcinoma: When and how?显示文摘Hilar cholangiocarcinoma is a tumor of the extrahepatic bile duct involving the left main hepatic duct, the right main hepatic duct, or their confluence. Biliary drainage in hilar cholangiocarcinoma is sometimes clinically challenging because of complexities associated with the level of biliary obstruction. This may result in some adverse events, especially acute cholangitis. Hence the decision on the indication and methods of biliary drainage in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma should be carefully evaluated. This review focuses on the optimal method and duration of preoperative biliary drainage(PBD) in resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Under certain special indications such as right lobectomy for Bismuth type ⅢA or Ⅳ hilar cholangiocarcinoma, or preoperative portal vein embolization with chemoradiation therapy, PBD should be strongly recommended. Generally, selective biliary drainage is enough before surgery, however, in the cases of development of cholangitis after unilateral drainage or slow resolving hyperbilirubinemia, total biliary drainage may be considered. Although the optimal preoperative bilirubin level is still a matter of debate, the shortest possible duration of PBD is recommended. Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage seems to be the most appropriate method of PBD in terms of minimizing the risks of tract seeding and inflammatory reactions. | Woo Hyun Paik Nerenthran Loganathan Jin-Hyeok Hwang | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2014,6,3: | 37 |
| 3 | Sex-and gender-specific disparities in colorectal cancer risk显示文摘Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer morbidity both in men and in women.However,females over 65 years old show higher mortality and lower 5-year survival rate of colorectal cancer compared to their age-matched male counterparts.The objective of this review is to suggest gender-based innovations to improve colorectal cancer outcomes in females.Women have a higher risk of developing right-sided(proximal) colon cancer than men,which is associated with more aggressive form of neoplasia compared to left-sided(distal) colon cancer.Despite differences in tumor location between women and men,most of scientific researchers do not consider sex specificity for study design and interpretation.Also,colorectal cancer screening guidelines do not distinguish females from male,which may explain the higher frequency of more advanced neoplasia when tumors are first detected and false negative results in colonoscopy in females.Moreover,socio-cultural barriers within females are present to delay screening and diagnosis.Few studies,among studies that included both men and women,have reported sex-specific estimates of dietary risk factors which are crucial to establish cancer prevention guidelines despite sex-and genderassociated differences in nutrient metabolism and dietary practices.Furthermore,anti-cancer drug use for colorectal cancer treatment can cause toxicity to the reproductive system,and gender-specific recurrence and survival rates are reported.Therefore,by understanding sex-and gender-related biological and socio-cultural differences in colorectal cancer risk,gender-specific strategies for screening,treatment and prevention protocols can be established to reduce the mortality and improve the quality of life. | Sung-Eun Kim Hee Young Paik Hyuk Yoon Jung Eun Lee Nayoung Kim Mi-Kyung Sung | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,17: | 18 |
| 4 | Clinical and pathological differences between serum immunoglobulin G4-positive and -negative type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To identify clinical and pathological differences between serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-positive (SIP) and IgG4-negative (SIN) type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) in South Korea. METHODS: AIP was diagnosed by the international consensus diagnostic criteria. The medical records and pathology were retrospectively reviewed and IgG4-positive cells were counted in a high power field (HPF). Type I AIP was defined as a high serum level of IgG4or histological finding. SIN type 1 AIP was defined as a histological evidence of type 1 AIP and a normal serum IgG4 level. The clinical and pathological findings were compared between the two groups. The analysis was performed using Student's t test, Fischer's exact test and Mann-Whitney's U test. A P value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. As repeated com- parison was made, P values of less than 5% (P < 0.05) were considered significant. RESULTS: Twenty five patients with definite type 1 AIP (19 histologically and six serologically diagnosed cases) were enrolled. The mean tissue IgG4 concentrations were significantly higher in SIP than SIN group (40 cells per HPF vs 18 cells per HPF, P = 0.02). Among eight SIN patients, the tissue IgG4 concentrations were less than 15 cells per HPF in most of cases, except one. The sensitivity of serum IgG4 was 68% (17 SIP and eight SIN AIP). Other organ involvement was more frequent- ly associated with SIP than SIN AIP (59% vs 26%, P = 0.016). However, the relapse rate and diffuse swelling of the pancreas were not associated with serum IgG4 level. The concentrations of IgG4-positive cells per HPF were higher in SIP than SIN AIP (40 vs 18, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: The sensitivity of serum IgG4 was 68% in type 1 AIP. High serum IgG4 level was associated with other organ involvement and tissue IgG4 concentration but did not affect the relapse rate in type 1 AIP. | Woo Hyun Paik Ji Kon Ryu Jin Myung Park Byeong Jun Song Joo Kyung Park Yong-Tae Kim Kyoungbun Lee | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,25: | 16 |
| 5 | Tenofovir rescue therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients after multiple treatment failures显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) for chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients after multiple failures.METHODS:A total of 29 CHB patients who had a suboptimal response or developed resistance to two or more previous nucleoside/nucleotide analogue(NA) treatments were included.Study subjects were treated with TDF alone(n = 13) or in combination with lamivudine(LAM,n = 12) or entecavir(ETV,n = 4) for ≥ 6 mo.Complete virologic response(CVR) was defined as an achievement of serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA level ≤ 60 IU/mL by real-time polymerase chain reaction method during treatment.Safety assessment was based on serum creatinine and phosphorus level.Eleven patients had histories of LAM and adefovir dipivoxil(ADV) treatment and 18 patients were exposed to LAM,ADV,and ETV.Twenty-seven patients(93.1%) were hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg) positive and the mean value of the baseline serum HBV DNA level was 5.5 log IU/mL ± 1.7 log IU/mL.The median treatment duration was 16 mo(range 7 to 29 mo).RESULTS:All the patients had been treated with LAM and developed genotypic and phenotypic resistance to it.Resistance to ADV was present in 7 patients and 10 subjects had a resistance to ETV.One patient had a resistance to both ADV and ETV.The cumulative probabilities of CVR at 12 and 24 mo of TDF containing treatment regimen calculated by the Kaplan Meier method were 86.2% and 96.6%,respectively.Although one patient failed to achieve CVR,serum HBV DNA level decreased by 3.9 log IU/mL from the baseline and the last serum HBV DNA level during treatment was 85 IU/mL,achieving near CVR.No patients in this study showed viral breakthrough or primary non-response during the follow-up period.The cumulative probability of HBeAg clearance in the 27 HBeAg positive patients was 7.4%,12%,and 27% at 6,12,and 18 mo of treatment,respectively.Treatment efficacy of TDF containing regimen was not statistically different according to the presence of specific HBV mutations.History of prior exposure to specific antiviral agents did not make a difference to treatment outcome.Treatment efficacy of TDF was not affected by combination therapy with LAM or ETV.No patient developed renal toxicity and no cases of hypophosphatemia associated with TDF therapy were observed.There were no other adverse events related to TDF therapy observed in the study subjects.CONCLUSION:TDF can be an effective and safe rescue therapy in CHB patients after multiple NA therapy failures. | Yu Jin Kim Dong Hyun Sinn Geum-Youn Gwak Moon Seok Choi Kwang Cheol Koh Seung Woon Paik Byung Chul Yoo Joon Hyeok Lee | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,47: | 16 |

| 7 | Protective links between vitamin D,inflammatory boweldisease and colon cancer显示文摘Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with a wide range of diseases and multiple forms of cancer including breast, colon, and prostate cancers. Relatively recent work has demonstrated vitamin D to be critical in immune function and therefore important in inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). Because vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is increasingly prevalent around the world, with an estimated 30%-50% of children and adults at risk for vitamin D deficiency worldwide, it could have a significant impact on IBD. Epidemiologic studies suggest that low serum vitamin D levels are a risk factor for IBD and colon cancer, and vitamin D supplementation is associated with decreased colitis disease activity and/or alleviated symptoms. Patients diagnosed with IBD have a higher incidence of colorectal cancer than the general population, which supports the notion that inflammation plays a key role in cancer development and underscores the importance of understanding how vitamin D influences inflammation and its cancer-promoting effects. In addition to human epidemiological data, studies utilizing mouse models of colitis have shown that vitamin D is beneficial in preventing or ameliorating inflammation and clinical disease. The precise role of vitamin D on colitis is unknown; however, vitamin D regulates immune cell trafficking and differentiation, gut barrier function and antimicrobial peptide synthesis, all of which may be protective from IBD and colon cancer. Here we focus on effects of vitamin D on inflammation and inflammation-associated colon cancer and discuss the potential use of vitamin D for protection and treatment of IBD and colon cancer. | Stacey Meeker Audrey Seamons Lillian Maggio-Price Jisun Paik | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,3: | 15 |
| 8 | Cancer stem cell markers CD133 and CD24 correlate with invasiveness and differentiation in colorectal adenocarcinoma显示文摘AIM:To verify that CD markers are available for detecting cancer stem cell populations and to evaluate their clinical significance in colon cancer.METHODS:Immunohistochemistry for CD133,CD24 and CD44 was performed on the tissue microarray of 523 colorectal adenocarcinomas.Medical records were reviewed and clinicopathological analysis was performed.RESULTS:In colorectal adenocarcinoma,128 of 523 cases(24.5%) were positive and 395 cases(75.5%) were negative for CD133 expression.Two hundred and sixty-four of 523 cases(50.5%) were positive and 259 cases(49.5%) were negative for CD24 expression.Five hundred and two of 523 cases(96%) were negative and 21 cases(4%) were positive for CD44 expression.Upon clinicopathological analysis,CD133 expression was present more in male patients(P = 0.002) and in advanced T stage cancer(P = 0.024).Correlation between CD24 expression and clinicopathological factors was seen in the degree of differentiation(P = 0.006).Correlation between CD44 expression and clinicopathological factors was seen in the tumor size(P = 0.001).Survival was not significantly related to CD133,CD24 and CD44 expression.CONCLUSION:CD markers were related to invasiveness and differentiation of colorectal adenocarcinoma.However,CD expression was not closely related to survival. | Dongho Choi Hyo Won Lee Kyung Yul Hur Jae Joon Kim Gyeong-Sin Park Si-Hyong Jang Young Soo Song Ki-Seok Jang Seung Sam Paik | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,18: | 14 |
| 9 | Ischemic colitis associated with intestinal vasculitis: Histological proof in systemic lupus erythematosus显示文摘I schemic colitis is an uncommon complication in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In previously reported cases of colitis caused by SLE, intestinal vasculitis is implicated as the causative process, but is rarely confirmed histologically. We described a case of a 32-year-old man with increased activity of SLE, who presented with hematochezia and abdominal pain due to ischemic colitis with small vessel vasculitis which was proven by sigmoidoscopic biopsy. The clinical course of the patient was improved after steroid and conservative management. | Jeong Rok Lee Chang Nyol Paik Jin Dong Kim Woo Chul Chung Kang-Moon Lee | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,22: | 10 |

There has been no consistent recognition regarding the best stimulation frequency and intensity. This study reviews the intervention effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation on motor impairment, dysphagia, visuospatial neglect and aphasia, and summarizes the stimulation frequency, intensity and area for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to yield the best therapeutic effects. | Joonho Shin EunJoo Yang KyeHee Cho Carmelo L Barcenas Woo Jin Kim Nam-Jong Paik | 2012 | Neural Regeneration Research2012,7,8: | 9 |
| 12 | Evaluation of esophageal function in patients with esophageal motor abnormalities using multichannel intraluminal impedance esophageal manometry显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the functional aspect of esophageal motility in healthy subjects and in patients who were referred for esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal impedance-esophageal manometry (MII-EM), and to assess the clinical utility of MII-EM. METHODS: From September 2003 to January 2004, we performed the MII-EM on healthy volunteers and all the patients who were referred for esophageal function testing. Each patient received 10 liquid and 10 viscous swallows. We analyzed the results, the impedance and the manometric findings. Some of the subjects had additional ambulatory 24-h pH study performed to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). RESULTS: Among 89 studied subjects, the MII-EM findings showed normal esophageal motility in 50 (56.17%), ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) in 17 (19.10%), nutcracker esophagus in 7 (7.86%), achalasia in 4 (4.49%), and scleroderma esophagus in 11 (12.35%) cases. The completeness and the speed of bolus transit were in the order of nutcracker esophagus, normal manometry and IEM. Some of the swallows showing normal manometry and IEM had incomplete transit. In the achalasia and scleroderma esophagus, almost all the swallows had incomplete transit. The body amplitudes were higher for the swallows with complete transit than for the swallows with incomplete transit. There was not a significant difference in the manometric and impedance findings between the subjects with and without GERD. CONCLUSION: MII-EM is a useful tool in assessing theesophageal function in the patients having esophageal motility abnormality. The primary factors influencing the bolus transit are the amplitude of the esophageal body and normal peristalsis. | Yu Kyung Cho Myung-Gyu Choi Jae Myung Park Jung Hwan Oh Chang Nyol Paik Joon Wook Lee In Seok Lee Sang Woo Kim In-Sik Chung | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,39: | 8 |
| 13 | Risk factors of organ failure in cholangitis with bacteriobilia显示文摘AIM: To identify the risk factors for organ failure(OF) in cholangitis with bacteriobilia.METHODS: This study included 182 patients with acute cholangitis who underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage between January 2005 and April 2013. We conducted a retrospective analysis of comprehensive clinical and laboratory data.RESULTS: There were 24 cases(13.2%) of OF and five deaths(2.7%). Bile culture was positive for microbial growth in 130 out of 138(94.2%) patients. In multivariate analysis of 130 patients with positivebile cultures, significant predictive factors for OF were the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL) organisms in blood cultures, pre-existing renal dysfunction, and choledocholithiasis as an etiology, with odds ratios of 15.376, 6.319, and 3.573, respectively. We developed a scoring system with a regression coefficient of each significant variable. The OF score was calculated using the following equation:(2.7 × ESBL organisms in blood cultures) +(1.8 × pre-existing renal dysfunction) +(1.3 × choledocholithiasis). This scoring system for predicting OF was highly specific(99.1%) and had a positive predictive value of 86.2%.CONCLUSION: ESBL organisms in blood cultures, preexisting renal dysfunction, and choledocholithiasis are risk factors for OF in cholangitis with bacteriobilia. The OF scoring system may aid clinicians to identify a poor prognosis group. | Jae Min Lee Sang Hyub Lee Kwang Hyun Chung Jin Myung Park Ban Seok Lee Woo Hyun Paik Joo Kyung Park Ji Kon Ryu Yong-Tae Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,24: | 8 |
| 14 | Durability of viral response after off-treatment in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the durability in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B patients who discontinued antiviral treatment. METHODS:A total of 48 HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients who were administered nucleoside analogues and maintained virological response for ≥ 6 mo [hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA < 300 copies/mL and HBeAg seroconversion] before cessation of treatment were enrolled between February 2007 and January 2010. The criteria for the cessation of the antiviral treatment were defined as follows:(1) achievement of virological response; and (2) duration of consolidation therapy (≥ 6 mo). After treatment cessation, the patients were followed up at 3-6 mo intervals. The primary endpoint was serologic and virologic recurrence rates after withdrawal of antiviral treatment. Serologic recurrence was defined as reappearance of HBeAg positivity after HBeAg seroconversion. Virologic recurrence was defined as an increase in HBV-DNA level > 104 copies/mL after HBeAg seroconversion with previously undetectable HBV-DNA level. RESULTS:During the median follow-up period of 18.2 mo (range:5.1-47.5 mo) after cessation of antiviral treatment, the cumulative serological recurrence rate was 15 % at 12 mo. The median duration between the cessation of antiviral treatment and serologic recurrence was 7.2 mo (range:1.2-10.9 mo). Of the 48 patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis, 20 (41.6%) showed virological recurrence. The cumulative virologic recurrence rates at 12 mo after discontinuing the antiviral agent were 41%. The median duration between off-treatment and virologic recurrence was 7.6 mo (range:4.3-27.1 mo). The mean age of the virological recurrence group was older than that of the non-recurrence group (46.7 ± 12.1 years vs 38.8 ± 12.7 years, respectively; P = 0.022). Age (> 40 years) and the duration of consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) were significant predictive factors for offtreatment durability in the multivariate analysis [P = 0.049, relative risk (RR) 0.31, 95% CI (0.096-0.998) and P = 0.005, RR 11.29, 95% CI (2.054-65.12), respectively]. Patients with age (≤ 40 years) who received consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) significantly showed durability in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients (P = 0.014). These results suggest that additional treatment for more than 15 mo after HBeAg seroconversion in patients who are ≤ 40 years old may be beneficial in providing a sustained virological response. CONCLUSION:Our data suggest that HBeAg seroconversion is an imperfect end point in antiviral treatment. Long-term consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) in younger patients is important for producing better prognosis in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B. | Myeong Jun Song Do Seon Song Hee Yeon Kim Sun Hong Yoo Si Hyun Bae Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon Yong-Han Paik June Sung Lee Hyun Woong Lee Hyung Joon Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,43: | 7 |

| 17 | Hepatic resection vs percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma abutting right diaphragm显示文摘BACKGROUND It is usually difficult to adequately conduct percutaneous ultrasound-guided radiofrequency(RF) ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas(HCCs) abutting the diaphragm. Our hypothesis was that the subphrenic location of HCC could have an effect on the long-term therapeutic outcomes after hepatic resection and RF ablation.AIM To compare the long-term therapeutic outcomes of hepatic resection and percutaneous RF ablation for HCCs abutting the diaphragm.METHODS A total of 143 Child-Pugh class A patients who had undergone hepatic resection(n = 80) or percutaneous ultrasound-guided RF ablation(n = 63) for an HCC(≤ 3 cm) abutting the right diaphragm were included. Cumulative local tumor progression(LTP), cumulative intrahepatic distant recurrence(IDR), disease-free survival(DFS), and overall survival(OS) rates were estimated. Prognostic factors for DFS and OS were analyzed. Complications were evaluated.RESULTS The cumulative IDR rate, DFS rate, and OS rate for the hepatic resection group and RF ablation group at 5 years were '35.9% vs 65.8%', '64.1% vs 18.3%', and'88.4% vs 68.7%', respectively. Hepatic resection was an independent prognostic factor for DFS(P ≤ 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.352; 95%CI: 0.205, 0.605; with RF ablation as the reference category); however, treatment modality was not an independent prognostic factor for OS. The LTP rate was 46.6% at 5 years for the RF ablation group. The major complication rate was not significantly different between the groups(P = 0.630). The rate of occurrence of peritoneal seeding was higher in the RF ablation group(1.3% vs 9.5%, P = 0.044).CONCLUSION Although OS was not significantly different between patients who had gone hepatic resection or percutaneous RF ablation for HCCs abutting the diaphragm,DFS was better in the hepatic resection group. | Kyoung Doo Song Hyo Keun Lim Hyunchul Rhim Min Woo Lee Tae Wook Kang Yong Han Paik Jong Man Kim Jae-Won Joh | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,3: | 6 |
| 18 | Safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for pancreatic cystic lesions: A single-center experience of 214 patients显示文摘Background:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation(EUS-EA)for pancreatic cystic lesions(PCLs)has been used in recent years as a feasible treatment modality for low malignant probability PCLs or patients considered high-risk for surgery.The present study aimed to confirm the safety of EUS-EA and to find predictive factors for adverse event(AE).Methods:A retrospective review was performed from the prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent EUS-EA for PCLs from June 2006 to April 2018 at Seoul National University Hospital.The primary outcomes of the study were the rates of AEs and severe AEs by EUS-EA.The secondary outcome was the predictive factors of AEs including acute pancreatitis and abdominal pain.Results:A total of 214 patients were evaluated and the diagnoses of PCLs according to cystic fluid analysis and clinical features were as follows:serous cystic neoplasm(32.2%),mucinous cystic neoplasm(26.6%),branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(BD-IPMN)(29.4%),and pseudocyst(11.7%).Three patients(1.4%)experienced severe AEs.Overall,AEs occurred in 71(33.2%)patients.BD-IPMN(OR:2.87;95%CI:1.05–7.84;P=0.040),multilocular cysts(OR:3.59;95%CI:1.09–11.85;P=0.036),suspected ethanol leakage during procedure(OR:10.68;95%CI:1.98–57.53;P=0.006),and sticky cystic fluid(OR:3.83;95%CI:1.20–12.24;P=0.024)were predictive factors for post-procedural acute pancreatitis.PCLs of uncinate process(OR:2.99;95%CI:1.22–7.35;P=0.017)and PCLs with exophytic portion(OR:3.70;95%CI:1.96–7.01;P<0.001)were predictive factors for post-procedural abdominal pain.Conclusions:EUS-EA is a safe procedure with a very low rate of severe AEs.It seems possible to predict the AEs according to the features of the procedure and PCLs. | Jin Ho Choi Sang Hyub Lee Young Hoon Choi Min Su You Bang-Sup Shin Woo Hyun Paik Ji Kon Ryu Yong-Tae Kim | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,6: | 6 |
| 19 | Spontaneous resolution of multiple lymphangiomas of the colon:A case report显示文摘Lymphangioma of the colon is a relatively rare nonepithelial tumor and usually presents as a submucosal polypoid lesion.Many cases incidentally discovered are usually asymptomatic.However,they may present as abdominal pain or bleeding,and their resection is normally required.Lymphangioma itself is generally recognized as a benign tumor and no cases of malignant transformation have yet been reported,although its natural history is currently unknown.To the best of our knowledge,this study is the first to describe a case of spontaneous resolution in multiple colonic lymphangiomas without any specific treatment. | Ji Min Lee Woo Chul Chung Kang-Moon Lee Chang Nyol Paik Yeon-Ji Kim Bo-In Lee Young Seok Cho Hyun Joo Choi | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,11: | 5 |
| 20 | Association between acute pancreatitis and peptic ulcer disease显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the relationship between peptic ulcer disease(PUD) and acute pancreatitis.METHODS:A cohort of 78 patients with acute pancreatitis were included in this study.The presence of PUD and the Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) status were assessed by an endoscopic method.The severity of acute pancreatitis was assessed using Ranson's score,the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation(APACHE) □ score,computed tomography severity indexand the clinical data during hospitalization,all of which were compared between the patients with and without PUD.The risk factors for PUD were also evaluated.RESULTS:Among 78 patients,41 patients(52.6%) with acute pancreatitis suffered from PUD,but only 13(31.7%) patients with PUD were infected by H.pylori.On univariate analysis,male gender,an etiology of alcohol-induced pancreatitis,a history of smoking or alcohol consumption,elevated triglyceride and C-reactive protein levels,and high APACHE □ score were signif icantly associated with PUD.However,on multivariate logistic regressionanalysis,the APACHE □ score(odds ratio:7.69;95% conf idence interval:1.78-33.33;P < 0.01) was found to be the only independent risk factor for PUD.CONCLUSION:Patients with acute pancreatitis are liable to suffer from PUD.PUD is associated with severeacute pancreatitis according to the APACHE □ score,and treatment for PUD should be considered for patients with severe acute pancreatitis. | Kang-Moon Lee Chang-Nyol Paik Woo Chul Chung Jin Mo Yang | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,8: | 5 |
