| 1 | Phase angle obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the phase angle(PA)obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) for mortality prediction in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS In total, 134 male cirrhotic patients prospectively completed clinical evaluations and nutritional assessment by BIA to obtain PAs during a 36-mo follow-up period. Mortality risk was analyzed by applying the PA cutoff point recently proposed as a malnutrition marker(PA ≤ 4.9°) in Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups according to the PA cutoff value(PA > 4.9°, n = 73; PA ≤ 4.9°, n = 61). Weight, height, and body mass index were similar in both groups, but patients with PAs > 4.9° were younger and had higher mid-arm muscle circumference, albumin, and handgrip-strength values and lower severe ascites and encephalopathy incidences, interleukin(IL)-6/IL-10 ratios and C-reactive protein levels than did patients with PAs ≤ 4.9°(P ≤ 0.05). Forty-eight(35.80%) patients died due to cirrhosis, with a median of 18 mo(interquartile range, 3.3-25.6 mo) follow-up until death. Thirty-one(64.60%) of these patients were from the PA ≤ 4.9° group. PA ≤ 4.9° significantly and independently affected the mortality model adjusted for Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and age(hazard ratio = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.11-3.77, P = 0.021). In addition, Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with PAs ≤ 4.9° were significantly more likely to die. CONCLUSION In male patients with cirrhosis, the PA ≤ 4.9° cutoff was associated independently with mortality and identified patients with worse metabolic, nutritional, and disease progression profiles. The PA may be a useful and reliable bedside tool to evaluate prognosis in cirrhosis. | Giliane Belarmino Maria Cristina Gonzalez Raquel S Torrinhas Priscila Sala Wellington Andraus Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'Albuquerque Rosa Maria R Pereira Valéria F Caparbo Graziela R Ravacci Lucas Damiani Steven B Heymsfield Dan L Waitzberg | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,7: | 11 |
| 2 | Role of mi RNAs and their potential to be useful as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer显示文摘Alterations in epigenetic control of gene expression play an important role in many diseases, including gastric cancer. Many studies have identified a large number of upregulated oncogenic mi RNAs and downregulated tumour-suppressor mi RNAs in this type of cancer. In this review, we provide an overview of the role of mi RNAs, pointing to their potential to be useful as diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer. Moreover, we discuss the influence of polymorphisms and epigenetic modifications on mi RNA activity. | Kelly Cristina da Silva Oliveira Taíssa Maíra Thomaz Araújo Camila Inagaki Albuquerque Gabriela Alcantara Barata Carolina Oliveira Gigek Mariana Ferreira Leal Fernanda Wisnieski Fernando Augusto Rodrigues Mello Junior André Salim Khayat Paulo Pimentel de Assumpcao Rommel Mário Rodriguez Burbano Marília Cardoso Smith Danielle Queiroz Calcagno | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,35: | 11 |
| 3 | In vitro antibacterial effect of aqueous and ethanolic Moringa leaf extracts显示文摘Objective:To evaluate the antibacterial effect of aqueous and ethanolic moringa leaf extracts (Moringa oleifera) on the growth of gram-positive and negative bacteria.Methods:Paper disks were soaked with 100,200,300 and 400μL of extract at 20 g/180mL and 10 g/190 mL.All extracts were tested against Escherichia coli(ATCC25922),Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC25923),Vibrio parahaemolyticus,Enterococcus faecalis(ATCC29212),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(ATCC27853), Salmonella enteritidis(IH) and Aeromonas caviae.The susceptibility tests were performed using the modified disk diffusion method.Results:The strains E.coli,P.aeruginosa and S.enteritidis (IH) were resistant to all treatments.In general,disks with 400μL extract were the most efficient against S.aureus,V.parahaemolyticus,E.faecalis and A.caviae.Conclusions:The study indicates a promising potential for aqueous and ethanolic Moringa leaf extracts as alternative treatment of infections caused by the tested strains. | Jackson Rafael Oliveira Peixoto Giselle Cristina Silva Renata Albuquerque Costa Joseires Lira de Sousa Fontenelle Gustavo Hitzschky Fernandes Vieira Antonio Adauto Fonteles Filho Regine Helena Silva dos Fernandes Vieira | 2011 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2011,4,3: | 7 |
| 4 | Serum proinflammatory cytokines and nutritional status in pediatric chronic liver disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the nutritional status and its association with proinflammatory cytokines in children with chronic liver disease.METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study with 43 children and adolescents, aged 0 to 17 years, diagnosed with chronic liver disease. All patients regularly attended the Pediatric Hepatology Unit and were under nutritional follow up. The exclusion criteria were fever from any etiology at the time of enrollment, inborn errors of the metabolism and any chronic illness. The severity of liver disease was assessed by Child-Pugh, Model for End-stage Liver Disease(MELD) and Pediatric End Stage Liver Disease(PELD) scores. Anthropometric parameters were height/age, body mass index/age and triceps skinfold/age according to World Health Organization standards. The cutoff points for nutritional status were risk of malnutrition(Z-score <-1.00) and malnutrition(Z-score <-2.00). Interleukin-1β(IL-1β), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α levels were assessed by commercial ELISA kits. For multivariate analysis, linear regression was applied to assess the association between cytokine levels, disease severity and nutritional status. RESULTS: The median(25th-75 th centile) age of the study population was 60(17-116)-mo-old, and 53.5% were female. Biliary atresia was the main cause of chronic liver disease(72%). With respect to Child-Pugh score, cirrhotic patients were distributed as follows: 57.1% Child-Pugh A, a mild presentation of the disease, 34.3% Child-Pugh B, a moderate stage of cirrhosis and 8.6% Child-Pugh C, were considered severe cases. PELD and MELD scores were only above the cutoff point in 5 cases. IL-6 values were increased in patients at nutritional risk(34.9%) compared with those who were well-nourished [7.12(0.58-34.23) pg/m L vs 1.63(0.53-3.43) pg/m L; P = 0.02], correlating inversely with triceps skinfold-for-age z-score(rs =-0.61; P < 0.001). IL-6 levels were associated with liver disease severity assessed by Child-Pugh score(P = 0.001). This association remained significant after adjusting for nutritional status in a linear regression model. CONCLUSION: High IL-6 levels were found in children with chronic liver disease at nutritional risk. Inflammatory activity may be related to nutritional status deterioration in these patients. | Daniele Santetti Maria Inês de Albuquerque Wilasco Cristina Toscani Leal Dornelles Isabel Cristina Ribas Werlang Fernanda Urruth Fontella Carlos Oscar Kieling Jorge Luiz dos Santos Sandra Maria Goncalves Vieira Helena Ayako Sueno Goldani | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,29: | 2 |

| 11 | Dengue in renal transplant recipients: Clinical course and impact on renal function显示文摘AIM To present clinical characteristics from renal transplant recipients with dengue fever and its impact on graft function.METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 11 renal transplant recipients(RTR) with dengue infection confirmed by laboratory test, between January 2007 and July 2012, transplanted in the Renal Transplant Center of Walter Cantídio University Hospital from Federal University of Ceará. RESULTS Positive dengue serology(IgM) was found in all patients. The mean time between transplant and dengue infection was 43 mo. Fever was presented in all patients. Nine patients presented with classical dengue and two(18%) with dengue hemorrhagic fever. All cases had satisfactory evolution with complete recovery of the symptoms. The time for symptom resolution varied from 2 to 20 d, with an average of 9 d. An increase of creatinine after the infection was observed in three(27.2%) patients with no clinically impact on the kidney graft function. CONCLUSION RTR with dengue infection seems to have a clinical presentation and evolution similar to those seen in the general population, with no long-term damage to patient and to the graft. | Paula Frassinetti Castelo Branco Camur?a Fernandes Reed AndréSiqueira Evelyne Santana Gir?o Rainne AndréSiqueira Márcia Uchoa Mota Leyla Castelo Branco Fernandes Marques Silvana Cristina Albuquerque Andrade Wilson Mendes Barroso S?nia Leite Silva Bruno Gomes Rodrigues dos Santos Claúdia Maria Costa de Oliveira | 2017 | World Journal of Transplantation2017,7,1: | 0 |
| 12 | Inherited Fanconi syndrome显示文摘Background Fanconi-Debré-de Toni syndrome(also known as Fanconi renotubular syndrome,or FRST)profoundly increased the understanding of the functions of the proximal convoluted tubule(PCT)and provided important insights into the pathophysiology of several kidney diseases and drug toxicities.Data sources We searched Pubmed and Scopus databases to find relevant articles about FRST.This review article focuses on the physiology of the PCT,as well as on the physiopathology of FRST in children,its diagnosis,and treatment.Results FRST encompasses a wide variety of inherited and acquired PCT alterations that lead to impairment of PCT reab-sorption.In children,FRST often presents as a secondary feature of systemic disorders that impair energy supply,such as Lowe's syndrome,Dent's disease,cystinosis,hereditary fructose intolerance,galactosemia,tyrosinemia,Alport syndrome,and Wilson's disease.Although rare,congenital causes of FRST greatly impact the morbidity and mortality of patients and impose diagnostic challenges.Furthermore,its treatment is diverse and considers the ability of the clinician to identify the correct etiology of the disease.Conclusion The early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric patients with FRST improve the prognosis and the quality of life. | Anna Luiza Braga Albuquerque Rafael dos Santos Borges Ana Flavia Conegundes Erika Emmylaine dos Santos Frederico Moreira Man Fu Clara Tavares Araujo Pedro Alves Soares Vaz de Castrol Ana Cristina Simoes e Silva | 2023 | World Journal of Pediatrics2023,19,7: | 0 |

| 15 | Methylation changes at the GNAS imprinted locus in pancreatic cystic neoplasms are important for the diagnosis of malignant cysts显示文摘BACKGROUND Guanine nucleotide-binding protein,alpha stimulating(GNAS)mutations are characteristic of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms(IPMNs).Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas(PDACs)harboring GNAS mutations originate in IPMNs.GNAS is a complex imprinted locus that produces five transcripts regulated by differential methylated regions,NESP55,GNASAS,GNASXL,GNAS1A,and GNAS.AIM To evaluate if methylation changes in the differential methylated regions of GNAS locus contributed to malignant progression of pancreatic cysts.METHODS GNAS locus methylation was analyzed in archival pancreatic cyst fluid(PCF)obtained by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration by methylation specific–multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification.Results were normalized and analyzed using Coffalyser.Net software.RESULTS Fifty-two PCF samples obtained by endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration and previously characterized for KRAS and GNAS mutations were studied.The final diagnoses were surgical(11)and clinicopathological(41),including 30 benign cysts,14 pre-malignant cyst,and eight malignant cysts.Methylation changes at NESP55,GNASAS,GNAS1A,and especially GNASXL were more frequent in malignant cysts,and NESP55 and GNASAS were useful for diagnosis.A combined variable defined as“GNAS locus methylation changes”was significantly associated with malignancy(6/8 malignant cysts and only 2/20 benign cysts)and improved classification.Hypermethylation in both maternally(NESP55)and paternally(GNASXL)derived promoters was found in 3/3 PDACs.CONCLUSION This is the first study to identify methylation changes in the GNAS locus,improving the diagnosis of malignant pancreatic cysts and suggesting a role in progression to PDAC. | Sandra Faias Marlene Duarte Luísa Pereira Paula Chaves Marília Cravo Antonio Dias Pereira Cristina Albuquerque | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2020,12,9: | 0 |
