1Expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in human gastric cancer and superficial gastritis显示文摘AIM:To assess expression of matrix metalloproteinases 2(MMP2)and MMP9 in gastric cancer,superficial gastritis and normal mucosa,and to measure metalloproteinase activity.METHODS:MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA expression was determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Normalization was carried out using three different factors.Proteins were analyzed by quantitative gelatin zymography(qGZ).RESULTS:18S ribosomal RNA(18SRNA)was very highly expressed,while hypoxanthine ribosyltransferase-1(HPRT-1)was moderately expressed.MMP2 was highly expressed,while MMP9 was not detected or lowly expressed in normal tissues,moderately or highly expressed in gastritis and highly expressed in cancer.Relative expression of 18SRNA and HPRT-1 showed no significant differences.Significant differences in MMP2 and MMP9 were found between cancer and normal tissue,but not between gastritis and normal tissue.Absolute quantification of MMP9 echoed this pattern,but differential expression of MMP2 proved conflictive.Analysis by qGZ indicated significant differences between cancer and normal tissue in MMP-2,total MMP-9,250 and 110 kDa bands.CONCLUSION:MMP9 expression is enhanced in gastric cancer compared to normal mucosa;interpretation of differential expression of MMP2 is difficult to establish.Clara Luz Sampieri Sol de la Pea Mariana Ochoa-Lara Roberto Zenteno-Cuevas Kenneth León-Córdoba 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,12:46
2Immediate nipple-areola-sparing mastectomy reconstruction: An update on oncological and reconstruction techniques显示文摘Nipple-sparing mastectomy(NSM) is a safe technique in patients who are candidates for conservation breast surgery. However, there is worry concerning its oncological safety and surgical outcome in terms of postoperative complications. The authors reviewed the literature to evaluate the oncological safety, patient selection, surgical techniques, and also to identify the factors influencing postoperative outcome and complication rates. Patient selection and safety related to NSM are based on oncological and anatomical parameters. Among the main criteria, the oncological aspects include the clinical stage of breast cancer, tumor characteristics and location including small, peripherally located tumors, without multicentricity, or for prophylactic mastectomy. Surgical success depends on coordinated planning with the oncological surgeon andcareful preoperative and intraoperative management. In general, the NSM reconstruction is related to autologous and alloplastic techniques and sometimes include contra-lateral breast surgery. Choice of reconstructive technique following NSM requires accurate consideration of various patient related factors, including: breast volume, degree of ptosis, areola size, clinical factors, and surgeon's experience. In addition, tumor related factors include dimension, location and proximity to the nipple-areola complex. Regardless of the fact that there is no unanimity concerning the appropriate technique, the criteria are determined by the surgeon's experience and the anatomical aspects of the breast. The positive aspects of the technique utilized should include low interference with the oncological treatment, reproducibility, and long-term results. Selected patients can have safe outcomes and therefore this may be a feasible option for early breast cancer management. However, available data demonstrates that NSM can be safely performed for breast cancer treatment in selected cases. Additional studies and longer follow-up are necessary to define consistent selection criteria for NSM.Alexandre Mendon?a Munhoz Eduardo Montag José Roberto Filassi Rolf Gemperli 2014World Journal of Clinical Oncology2014,5,3:15
3Immunoexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 in primary gastric carcinomas and lymph node metastases显示文摘AIM: To evaluate immunoexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in primary gastric carcinomas and respective lymph node metastases. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry to analyze COX-2 expression was performed on tissue microarray slices obtained from 36 specimens of gastrectomy and satellite lymph nodes from patients with gastric carcinoma. RESULTS: Immunostaining was seen in most cases, and COX-2 expression was higher in lymph node me-tastases than in corresponding primary gastric tumors of intestinal, diffuse and mixed carcinomas, with a statistically signif icant difference in the diffuse histotype (P = 0.0108). CONCLUSION: COX-2 immunoexpression occurs frequently in primary gastric carcinomas, but higher expression of this enzyme is observed in lymph node metastases of the diffuse histotype.Paulo RC Almeida Francisco VA Ferreira Cássio C Santos Francisco D Rocha-Filho Raul RP Feitosa Esther AA Falco Belise K Cavada Roberto CP Lima-Júnior Ronaldo A Ribeiro 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,8:14
4Non invasive blood flow measurement in cerebellum detects minimal hepatic encephalopathy earlier than psychometric tests显示文摘AIM: To assess whether non invasive blood flow measurement by arterial spin labeling in several brain regions detects minimal hepatic encephalopathy. METHODS: Blood flow(BF) was analyzed by arterial spin labeling(ASL) in different brain areas of 14 controls, 24 cirrhotic patients without and 16 cirrhotic patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy(MHE). Images were collected using a 3 Tesla MR scanner(Achieva 3T-TX, Philips, Netherlands). Pulsed ASL was performed. Patients showing MHE were detected using the battery Psychometric Hepatic Encephalopathy Score(PHES) consisting of five tests. Different cognitive and motor functions were also assessed: alterations in selective attention were evaluated using the Stroop test. Patients and controls also performed visuo-motor and bimanual coordination tests. Several biochemical parameters were measured: serum pro-inflammatory interleukins(IL-6 and IL-18), 3-nitrotyrosine, cGMP and nitrates+nitrites in plasma, and blood ammonia. Bivariate correlations were evaluated.RESULTS: In patients with MHE, BF was increased in cerebellar hemisphere(P = 0.03) and vermis(P = 0.012) and reduced in occipital lobe(P = 0.017). BF in cerebellar hemisphere was also increased in patients without MHE(P = 0.02). Bimanual coordination was impaired in patients without MHE(P = 0.05) and much more in patients with MHE(P < 0.0001). Visuo-motor coordination was impaired only in patients with MHE(P < 0.0001). Attention was slightly affected in patients without MHE and more strongly in patients with MHE(P< 0.0001). BF in cerebellar hemisphere and vermis correlated with performance in most tests of PHES [(number connection tests A(NCT-A), B(NCT-B)and line tracing test] and in the congruent task of Stroop test. BF in frontal lobe correlated with NCT-A. Performance in bimanual and visuomotor coordination tests correlated only with BF in cerebellar hemisphere. BF in occipital lobe correlates with performance in the PHES battery and with CFF. BF in cerebellar hemisphere correlates with plasma cGMP and nitric oxide(NO) metabolites. BF in vermis cerebellar also correlates with NO metabolites and with 3-nitrotyrosine. IL-18 in plasma correlates with BF in thalamus and occipital lobe.CONCLUSION: Non invasive BF determination in cerebellum using ASL may detect MHE earlier than the PHES. Altered NO-cGMP pathway seems to be associated to altered BF in cerebellum.Vicente Felipo Amparo Urios Carla Giménez-Garzó Omar Cauli Maria-Jesús Andrés-Costa Olga González Miguel A Serra Javier Sánchez-González Roberto Aliaga Remedios Giner-Durán Vicente Belloch Carmina Montoliu 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,33:12
5Portal vein thrombosis with protein C-S deficiency in a noncirrhotic patient显示文摘There are several conditions that can lead to portal vein thrombosis(PVT), including including infection, malignancies, and coagulation disorders. Anew condition of interest is protein C and S deficiencies, associated with hypercoagulation and recurrent venous thromboembolism. We report the case of a non-cirrhotic 63-year-old male diagnosed with acute superior mesenteric vein thrombosis and PVT and combined deficiencies in proteins C and S, recanalized by short-term low molecular heparin plus oral warfarin therapy.Gustavo A Rodríguez-Leal Segundo Morán Roberto Corona-Cedillo Rocío Brom-Valladares 2014World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,7:10
6通过手术导致的重量损失由胃绕过在疾病的肥胖的病人改进非含酒精的脂肪肝疾病显示文摘 AIM:To evaluate the effects of surgical weight loss(Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a modified Fobi-Capella technique) on non alcoholic fatty liver disease in obese patients.METHODS:A group of 26 morbidly obese patients aged 45 ± 2 years and with a body mass index > 40 kg/m 2 who underwent open surgical weight loss operations had paired liver biopsies,the first at surgery and the second after 16 ± 3 mo of weight loss.Biopsies were evaluated and compared in a blinded fashion.The presence of metabolic syndrome,anthropometric and biochemical variables were also assessed at baseline and at the time of the second biopsy.RESULTS:Percentage of excess weight loss was 72.1% ± 6.6%.There was a reduction in prevalence of metabolic syndrome from 57.7%(15 patients) to 7.7%(2 patients)(P < 0.001).Any significance difference was observed in aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase between pre and postsurgery.There were improvements in steatosis(P < 0.001),lobular(P < 0.001) and portal(P < 0.05) inflammation and fibrosis(P < 0.001) at the second biopsy.There were 25(96.1%) patients with non alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) in their index biopsy and only four(15.3%) of the repeat biopsies fulfilled the criteria for NASH.The persistence of fibrosis(F > 1) was present in five patients at second biopsy.Steatosis and fibrosis at surgery were predictors of significant fibrosis postsurgery.CONCLUSION:Restrictive mildly malabsorptive surgery provides significant weight loss,resolution of metabolic syndrome and associated abnormal liver histological features in most obese patients.Víctor Vargas Helena Allende Albert Lecube Maria Teresa Salcedo Juan A Baena-Fustegueras José M Fort Joaquín Rivero Roser Ferrer Roberto Catalán Eva Pardina Santiago Ramón y Cajal Jaime Guardia Julia Peinado-Onsurbe 2012World Journal of Hepatology2012,4,12:6
7CIMMYT小麦puroindoline基因型的进一步鉴定与分析显示文摘目的籽粒硬度是小麦市场分级和定价的重要依据,影响磨粉和食品加工品质。CIMMYT是我国最重要小麦引种地之一,研究其硬度基因型对我国小麦引种具有重要的应用价值。方法以CIMMYT常用的236份小麦亲本和高代品系为材料,采用改进的颗粒指数法、特异引物的PCR扩增和改进的SDS-PAGE凝胶电泳对其SKCS硬度及其puroindoine基因型进行鉴定和分析。结果202份硬质麦中,165份为PINA蛋白缺失类型;37份为Pinb-D1b类型,其中19份为非CIMMYT材料,18份亲本中均含有非CIMMYT材料。在34份软质麦中,有野生型、Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1i、Pina-D1c/Pinb-D1h、Pina-D1j/Pinb-D1i和Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1j共5种基因型。两种硬质类型中,Pina-D1b类型胚乳硬质程度明显高于(PSI硬度显著低于)Pinb-D1b类型;4种软质类型中,Pina-D1c/Pinb-D1h和Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1i类型胚乳硬质程度显著高于(PSI硬度显著低于)Pina-D1j/Pinb-D1i和Pina-D1a/Pinb-D1a类型。通过分析各类型的puroindoline基因序列发现,Pinb-D1h和Pinb-D1i编码同一种氨基酸,突变后仍表现为软质是因为第28位精氨酸变成色氨酸,其余软质变异类型色氨酸丰富区附近均未发生变化,这可能是导致其胚乳质地仍未变硬的主要原因。结论在先前研究基础上,本试验对CIMMYT小麦基因型作了进一步分析,发现系谱中没有外源材料的所有CIMMYT硬质麦均为Pina-D1b类型。从山羊草引进的软质突变类型之间存在一定硬度差异。陈锋 夏先春 Manila William Morten Lillemo Richard Trethowan Roberto J Peňa 何中虎 2006中国农业科学2006,39,8:6
8Role of three-dimensional imaging integration in atrial fibrillation ablation显示文摘Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia and in symptomatic patients with a drug-refractory form,catheter ablation aimed at electrically disconnecting the pulmonary veins(PVs) has proved more effective than use of antiarrhythmic drugs in maintaining sinus rhythm during follow-up.On the other hand,this ablation procedure is complex,requires specific training and adequate clinical experience.A main challenge is represented by the need for accurate sequential positioning of the ablation catheter around each veno-atrial junction to deliver point-by-point radiofrequency energy applications in order to achieve complete and persistent electrical disconnection of the PVs.Imaging integration is a new technology that enables guidance during this procedure by showing a three-dimensional,pre-acquired computed tomography or magnetic resonance image and the relative real-time position of the ablation catheter on the screen of the electroanatomic system.Reports in the literature suggest that imaging integration provides accurate visual information with improvement in the procedure parameters and/or clinical outcomes of the procedure.Roberto De Ponti Raffaella Marazzi Domenico Lumia Giuseppe Picciolo Roberto Biddau Carlo Fugazzola Jorge A Salerno-Uriarte 2010World Journal of Cardiology2010,2,8:5
9Human papilloma virus and esophageal carcinoma in a Latin-American region显示文摘AIM:To investigate the presence of high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCCs) in a non-selected Mexican population.METHODS: Cases with a pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus were obtained from Department of Pathology files, at the National Cancer Institute in Mexico City during the period between 2000 and 2008. Slides from each case were reviewed and cases with sufficient neoplastic tissue were selected for molecular analysis. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue samples for polymerase chain reaction analysis to detect HPV DNA sequences. Demographic and clinical data of each patient were retrieved from corresponding clinical records.RESULTS: HPV was detected in 15 (25%) of ESCCs. HPV-16 was the most frequently observed genotype, followed by HPV-18; HPV-59 was also detected in one case. Unfortunately, HPV genotype could not be established in three cases due to lack of material for direct sequencing, although universal primers detected the presence of HPV generic sequences. No low-risk HPV genotypes were found nor was HPV-16/18 co-infection. HPV presence in ESCC was not significantly associated with gender, age, alcohol consumption, smoking, anatomic location, or histologic grade. All patients belonged to low and very low socioeconomic strata, and were diagnosed at advanced disease stage. Male patients were most commonly affected and the male:female ratio in HPV-positive ESCC increased two- fold in comparison with HPV-negative cases (6.5:1 vs 3.1:1).CONCLUSION: High prevalence of high-risk HPV in ESCC in Mexico does not support the hypothesis that HPV-associated ESCC is more common in areas with higher ESCC incidence rates.Roberto Herrera-Goepfert Marcela Lizano Suminori Akiba Adela Carrillo-García Mauricio Becker-D'Acosta 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,25:4
10Celiac disease serology in patients with different pretest probabilities: Is biopsy avoidable?显示文摘AIM: To establish the diagnostic performance of sev-eral serological tests, individually and in combination, for diagnosing celiac disease (CD) in patients with different pretest probabilities, and to explore potential se- rological algorithms to reduce the necessity for biopsy. METHODS: We prospectively performed duodenal biopsy and serology in 679 adults who had either high risk (n = 161) or low risk (n = 518) for CD. Blood samples were tested using six assays (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) that detected antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (tTG) and deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP). RESULTS: CD prevalence was 39.1% in the high-risk population and 3.3% in the low-risk group. In high-risk patients, all individual assays had a high diagnostic efficacy [area under receiving operator characteristic curves (AU ROC): 0.968 to 0.999]. In contrast, assays had a lower diagnostic efficacy (AU ROC: 0.835 to 0.972) in the low-risk group. Using assay combinations, it would be possible to reach or rule out diagnosis of CD without biopsy in 92% of cases in both pretest populations. We observed that the new DGP/tTG Screen assay resulted in a surplus compared to more conventional assays in any clinical situation. CONCLUSION: The DGP/tTG Screen assay could be considered as the best initial test for CD. Combinations of two tests, including a DGP/tTG Screen, might be able to diagnose CD accurately in different clinical scenarios making biopsy avoidable in a high proportion of subjects.Emilia Sugai María L Moreno Hui J Hwang Ana Cabanne Adriana Crivelli Fabio Nach-man Horacio Vázquez Sonia Niveloni Julio Argonz Roberto Mazure Graciela La Motta María E Caniggia Edgardo Smecuol Néstor Chopita Juan C Gómez Eduardo Maurińo Julio C Bai 2010World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,25:4
11Role of the HLA-DQ locus in the development of chronic gastritis and gastric carcinoma in Mexican patients显示文摘AIM: To determine the HLA-DQ locus in Mexican patients with Chronic gastritis and gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Oligotyping for HLA-DQ locus was performed in 45 Mexican patients with chronic gastritis and 13 Mexican patients with diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma, and was then compared with 99 clinically healthy unrelated individuals. H pylori infection and CagA status were assessed in patients by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay (ELISA) method. RESULTS: We found a significant increased frequency of HLA-DQB1*0401 allele in H pylori-positive patients with chronic gastritis when compared with healthy subjects [19 vs 0%, P= 1 × 10-7, odds ratio (OR) = 4.96; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 3.87-6.35]. We also found a significant increased frequency of HLA-DQB1*0501 in patients with diffuse-type gastric carcinoma in comparison with healthy individuals (P = 1 × 10-6, OR = 13.07; 95% CI, 2.82-85.14). CONCLUSION: HLA-DQ locus may play a different role in the development of H pylori-related chronic gastritis and diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinoma in the Mexican Mestizo population.Roberto Herrera-Goepfert Jesús K Yamamoto-Furusho Luis F Oate-Ocaa Margarita Camorlinga-Ponce Leopoldo Muoz Jorge A Ruiz-Morales Gilberto Vargas-Alarcón Julio Granados Cellular Biology Section 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,48:4
12Immunohistochemical expression of intrarenal renin angiotensin system components in response to tempol in rats fed a high salt diet显示文摘AIM To determine the effect of tempol in normal rats fed high salt on arterial pressure and the balance between antagonist components of the renal renin-angiotensin system.METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with 8% Na Cl highsalt(HS) or 0.4% Na Cl(normal-salt,NS) diet for 3 wk,with or without tempol(T)(1 mmol/L,administered in drinking water). Mean arterial pressure(MAP),glomerularfiltration rate(GFR),and urinary sodium excretion(UVNa) were measured. We evaluated angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ),angiotensin 1-7(Ang 1-7),angiotensin converting enzyme 2(ACE2),mas receptor(Mas R),angiotensin type 1 receptor(AT1R) and angiotensin type 2 receptor(AT2R) in renal tissues by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS The intake of high sodium produced a slight but significant increase in MAP and differentially regulated components of the renal renin-angiotensin system(RAS). This included an increase in Ang Ⅱ and AT1 R,and decrease in ACE-2 staining intensity using immunohistochemistry. Antioxidant supplementation with tempol increased natriuresis and GFR,prevented changes in blood pressure and reversed the imbalance of renal RAS components. This includes a decrease in Ang Ⅱ and AT1 R,as increase in AT2,ACE2,Ang(1-7) and Mas R staining intensity using immunohistochemistry. In addition,the natriuretic effects of tempol were observed in NS-T group,which showed an increased staining intensity of AT2,ACE2,Ang(1-7) and Mas R.CONCLUSION These findings suggest that a high salt diet leads to changes in the homeostasis and balance between opposing components of the renal RAS in hypertension to favour an increase in Ang Ⅱ. Chronic antioxidant supplementation can modulate the balance between the natriuretic and antinatriuretic components of the renal RAS.Gabriel Cao Silvana Lorena Della Penna Nicolas Martín Kouyoumdzian Marcelo Roberto Choi Susana Gorzalczany Belisario Enrique Fernández Jorge Eduardo Toblli María Inés Roson 2017World Journal of Nephrology2017,6,1:4
13Transarterial chemoembolization using 40 μm drug eluting beads for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM To assess the safety and efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) using a new generation of 40 μm drug eluting beads in patients not eligible for curative treatment.METHODS Drug eluting bead TACE(DEB-TACE) using a new generation of microspheres(embozene tandem,40 μm) preloaded with 100 mg of doxorubicin was performed on 48 early or intermediate HCC patients with compensatedcirrhosis.Response to therapy was assessed with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST) and modified RECIST(m RECIST) guidelines applied to computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Eleven out of the 48 treated patients treated progressed on to receive liver orthotopic transplantation(OLT).This allowed for histological analysis on the treated explanted nodules.RESULTS DEB-TACE with 40 μm showed a good safety profile without major complications or 30-d mortality.The objective response rate of treated tumors was 72.6% and 26.7% according to m RECIST and RECIST respectively.Histological examination in 11 patients assigned to OLT showed a necrosis degree > 90% in 78.6% of cases.The overall time to progression was 13 mo(11-21).CONCLUSION DEB-TACE with 40 μm particles is an effective treatment for the treatment of HCC in early-intermediate patients(Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage A/B) with a good safety profile and good results in term of objective response rate and necrosis.Giorgio Greco Tommaso Cascella Antonio Facciorusso Roberto Nani Rodolfo Lanocita Carlo Morosi Marta Vaiani Giuseppina Calareso Francesca G Greco Antonio Ragnanese Marco A Bongini Alfonso V Marchianò Vincenzo Mazzaferro Carlo Spreafico 2017World Journal of Radiology2017,9,5:3
14慢性细菌性前列腺炎和肠易激综合征:利福昔明联合益生菌VSL#3的治疗效果显示文摘本研究评价了利福昔明联合益生菌VSL#3对慢性前列腺炎转化为微生物性前列腺精囊炎(PV)或前列腺精囊附睾炎(PVE)的作用。106例伴有细菌学治愈的慢性细胞性前列腺炎和肠易激综合征的男性不育患者随机予以利福昔明(200mg,20:/日,每月服用7日,持续12个月)和益生菌VSL#3(450×10^9CFU/日)治疗及无处理。95名患者(89.6%)完成治疗计划,纳入本研究。将患者分为四组:A组前6个月予治疗,后6月无治疗(n=26);B组予12个月治疗(n=22);C组前6个月不予治疗后6个月予治疗(n=23);D组在12个月内均无治疗(n=24)。A组和B组患者慢性前列腺炎发生率最高(分别为88.5%和86.4%)。相反,D组患者前列腺炎发生率最低(33.4%)。前列腺炎进展为PV的发生率在B组(15.5%)和C组(13.6%)低于D组(45.8%)。B组和C组最终无患者进展为PVE,而D组有20.8%诊断为PVE。长期服用利福昔明联合益生菌VSL#3能有效降低伴有治愈的CBP伴IBS的男性不育患者的前列腺炎进展为更复杂形式的男性附属性腺感染。Enzo Vicari Sandro La Vignera Roberto Castiglione Rosita A Condorelli Lucia O Vicari Aldo E Calogero 2014Asian Journal of Andrology2014,16,5:3
15Methylation of DAPK and THBS1 genes in esophageal gastric-type columnar metaplasia显示文摘AIM: To explore methylation of DAPK, THBS1, CDH-1, and p14 genes, and Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) status in individuals harboring esophageal columnar metaplasia.METHODS: Distal esophageal mucosal samples obtained by endoscopy and histologically diagnosed as gastric-type(non-specialized) columnar metaplasia, were studied thoroughly. DNA was extracted from paraffin blocks, and methylation status of deathassociated protein kinase(DAPK), thrombospondin-1(THBS1), cadherin-1(CDH1), and p14 genes, was examined using a methyl-sensitive polymerase chain reaction(MS-PCR) and sodium bisulfite modification protocol. H. pylori cag A status was determined by PCR.RESULTS: In total, 68 subjects(33 females and 35 males), with a mean age of 52 years, were included. H. pylori cag A positive was present in the esophageal gastric-type metaplastic mucosa of 18 individuals. DAPK, THSB1, CDH1, and p14 gene promoters were methylated by MS-PCR in 40(58.8%), 33(48.5%), 46(67.6%), and 23(33.8%) cases of the 68 esophageal samples. H. pyloristatus was associated with methylation of DAPK(P = 0.003) and THBS1(P = 0.019).CONCLUSION: DNA methylation occurs in cases of gastric-type(non-specialized) columnar metaplasia of the esophagus, and this modification is associated with H. pylori cag A positive infection.Roberto Herrera-Goepfert Luis F Onate-Ocana José Luis Mosqueda-Vargas Luis A Herrera Clementina Castro Julia Mendoza Rodrigo González-Barrios 2016World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,18:3

17Role of vitamin B_(12) on methylmalonyl-CoA mutase activity显示文摘Vitamin B 12 is an organometallic compound with important metabolic derivatives that act as cofactors of certain enzymes,which have been grouped into three subfamilies depending on their cofactors.Among them,methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM) has been extensively studied.This enzyme catalyzes the reversible isomerization of L-methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA using adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) as a cofactor participating in the generation of radicals that allow isomerization of the substrate.The crystal structure of MCM determined in Propionibacterium freudenreichii var.shermanii has helped to elucidate the role of this cofactor AdoCbl in the reaction to specify the mechanism by which radicals are generated from the coenzyme and to clarify the interactions between the enzyme,coenzyme,and substrate.The existence of human methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) due to the presence of mutations in MCM shows the importance of its role in metabolism.The recent crystallization of the human MCM has shown that despite being similar to the bacterial protein,there are significant differences in the structural organization of the two proteins.Recent studies have identified the involvement of an accessory protein called MMAA,which interacts with MCM to prevent MCM's inactivation or acts as a chaperone to promote regeneration of inactivated enzyme.The interdisciplinary studies using this protein as a model in different organisms have helped to elucidate the mechanism of action of this isomerase,the impact of mutations at a functional level and their repercussion in the development and progression of MMA in humans.It is still necessary to study the mechanisms involved in more detail using new methods.Tóshiko TAKAHASHI-IIGUEZ Enrique GARCíA-HERNANDEZ Roberto ARREGUíN-ESPINOSA María Elena FLORES 2012Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2012,13,6:3
18Quality of life, work productivity impairment and healthcare resources in inflammatory bowel diseases in Brazil显示文摘BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD)have been associated with a low quality of life(QoL)and a negative impact on work productivity compared to the general population.Information about disease control,patient-reported outcomes(PROs),treatment patterns and use of healthcare resources is relevant to optimizing IBD management.AIM To describe QoL and work productivity and activity impairment(WPAI),treatment patterns and use of healthcare resources among IBD patients in Brazil.METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional study included adult outpatients who were previously diagnosed with moderate to severe Crohn’s disease(CD)or ulcerative colitis(UC).At enrolment,active CD and UC were defined as having a Harvey Bradshaw Index≥8 or a CD Activity Index≥220 or calprotectin>200μg/g or previous colonoscopy results suggestive of inadequate control(per investigator criteria)and a 9-point partial Mayo score≥5,respectively.The PRO assessment included the QoL questionnaires SF-36 and EQ-5D-5L,the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire(IBDQ),and the WPAI questionnaire.Information about healthcare resources and treatment during the previous 3 years was collected from medical records.Chi-square,Fisher’s exact and Student’s t-/Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare PROs,treatment patterns and the use of healthcare resources by disease activity(α=0.05).RESULTS Of the 407 patients in this study(CD/UC:64.9%/35.1%,mean age 42.9/45.9 years,54.2%/56.6%female,38.3%/37.1%employed),44.7%/25.2%presented moderate-to-severe CD/UC activity,respectively,at baseline.Expressed in median values for CD/UC,respectively,the SF-36 physical component was 46.6/44.7 and the mental component was 45.2/44.2,the EQ-visual analog scale score was 80.0/70.0,and the IBDQ overall score was 164.0/165.0.Moderate to severe activity,female gender,being unemployed,a lower educational level and lower income were associated with lower QoL(P<0.05).Median work productivity impairment was 20%and 5%for CD and UC patients,respectively,and activity impairment was 30%,the latter being higher among patients with moderate to severe disease activity compared to patients with mild or no disease activity(75.0%vs 10.0%,P<0.001).For CD/UC patients,respectively,25.4%/2.8%had at least one surgery,38.3%/19.6%were hospitalized,and 70.7%/77.6%changed IBD treatment at least once during the last 3 years.The most common treatments at baseline were biologics(75.3%)and immunosuppressants(70.9%)for CD patients and 5-ASA compounds(77.5%)for UC patients.CONCLUSION Moderate to severe IBD activity,especially among CD patients,is associated with a substantial impact on QoL,work productivity impairment and an increased number of IBD surgeries and hospitalizations in Brazil.Rogerio Serafim Parra Julio MF Chebli Heda MBS Amarante Cristina Flores Jose ML Parente Odery Ramos Milene Fernandes Jose JR Rocha Marley R Feitosa Omar Feres Antonio S Scotton Rodrigo B Nones Murilo M Lima Cyrla Zaltman Carolina D Goncalves Isabella M Guimaraes Genoile O Santana Ligia Y Sassaki Rogerio S Hossne Mauro Bafutto Roberto LK Junior Mikaell AG Faria Sender J Miszputen Tarcia NF Gomes Wilson R Catapani Anderson A Faria Stella CS Souza Rosana F Caratin Juliana T Senra Maria LA Ferrari 2019World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,38:2
19Management of Helicobacter pylori infection in Latin America: A Delphi technique-based consensus显示文摘AIM: To optimize diagnosis and treatment guidelines for this geographic region, a panel of gastroenterologists, epidemiologists, and basic scientists carried out a structured evaluation of available literature.METHODS: Relevant questions were distributed among the experts, who generated draft statements for consideration by the entire panel. A modified three-round Delphi technique method was used to reach consensus. Critical input was also obtained from representatives of the concerned medical community. The quality of the evidence and level of recommendation supporting each statement was graded according to United States Preventive Services Task Force criteria.RESULTS: A group of ten experts was established. The survey included 15 open-ended questions that were distributed among the experts, who assessed the articles associated with each question. The levels of agreement achieved by the panel were 50% in the first round, 73.3% in the second round and 100% in the third round. Main consensus recommendations included:(1) when available, urea breath and stool antigen test(HpSA) should be used for non-invasive diagnosis;(2) detect and eradicate Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) in all gastroscopy patients to decrease risk of peptic ulcer disease, prevent o retard progression in patients with preneoplastic lesions, and to prevent recurrence in patients treated for gastric cancer;(3) further investigate implementation issues and health outcomes of H. pylorieradication for primary prevention of gastric cancer in high-risk populations;(4) prescribe standard 14-d triple therapy or sequential therapy for first-line treatment;(5) routinely assess eradication success post-treatment in clinical settings; and(6) select second- and third-line therapies according to antibiotic susceptibility testing.CONCLUSION: These achievable steps toward better region-specific management can be expected to improve clinical health outcomes.Antonio Rollan Juan Pablo Arab M Constanza Camargo Roberto Candia Paul Harris Catterina Ferreccio Charles S Rabkin Juan Cristóbal Gana Pablo Cortés Rolando Herrero Luisa Durán Apolinaria García Claudio Toledo Alberto Espino Nicole Lustig Alberto Sarfatis Catalina Figueroa Javier Torres Arnoldo Riquelme 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,31:2
20Liver fat deposition and mitochondrial dysfunction in morbid obesity:An approach combining metabolomics with liver imaging and histology显示文摘AIM: To explore the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and spectroscopy(MRS) for assessment of non-alcoholic fat liver disease(NAFLD) as compared with liver histological and metabolomics findings. METHODS: Patients undergoing bariatric surgery following procedures involved in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy were recruited as a model of obesityinduced NAFLD in an observational, prospective, singlesite, cross-sectional study with a pre-set duration of 1 year. Relevant data were obtained prospectively and surrogates for inflammation, oxidative stress and lipid and glucose metabolism were obtained through standard laboratory measurements. To provide reliable data from MRI and MRS, novel procedures were designed to limit sampling variability and other sources of error using a 1.5T Signa HDx scanner and protocols acquired from the 3D or 2D Fat SAT FIESTA prescription manager. We used our previously described 1H NMRbased metabolomics assays. Data were obtained immediately before surgery and after a 12-mo period including histology of the liver and measurement of metabolites. Values from 1H NMR spectra obtained after surgery were omitted due to technical limitations.RESULTS: MRI data showed excellent correlation with the concentration of liver triglycerides, other hepatic lipid components and the histological assessment, w h i c h e xc l u d e d t h e p r e s e n c e o f n o n-a l c o h o l i c steatohepatitis(NASH). MRI was sufficient to follow up NAFLD in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and data suggest usefulness in other clinical situations. The information provided by MRS replicated that obtained by MRI using the-CH3 peak(0.9 ppm), the-CH2- peak(1.3 ppm, mostly triglyceride) and the-CH=CH- peak(2.2 ppm). No patient depicted NASH. After surgery all patients significantly decreased their body weight and steatosis was virtually absent even in patients with previous severe disease. Improvement was also observed in the serum concentrations of selected variables. The most relevant findings using metabolomics indicate increased levels of triglyceride and monounsaturated fatty acids in severe steatosis but those results were accompanied by a significant depletion of diglycerides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, glucose-6-phosphate and the ATP/AMP ratio. Combined data indicated the coordinated action on mitochondrial fat oxidation and glucose transport activity and may support the consideration of NAFLD as a likely mitochondrial disease. This concept may helpto explain the dissociation between excess lipid storage in adipose tissue and NAFLD and may direct the search for plasma biomarkers and novel therapeutic strategies. A limitation of our study is that data were obtained in a relatively low number of patients.CONCLUSION: MRI is sufficient to stage NAFLD in obese patients and to assess the improvement after bariatric surgery. Other data were superfluous for this purpose.Nahum Calvo Raúl Beltrán-Debón Esther Rodríguez-Gallego Anna Hernández-Aguilera Maria Guirro Roger Mariné-Casadó Lidón Millá Josep M Alegret Fàtima Sabench Daniel del Castillo María Vinaixa Miguelàngel Rodríguez Xavier Correig Roberto García-álvarez Javier A Menendez Jordi Camps Jorge Joven 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,24:2
