| 1 | Risk factors associated with the development of ischemic colitis显示文摘AIM:To ascertain the role of cardiovascular risk factors,cardiovascular diseases,standard treatments and other diseases in the development of ischemic colitis(IC).METHODS:A retrospective,case-control study was designed,using matched data and covering 161 incident cases of IC who required admission to our hospital from 1998 through 2003.IC was diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic findings and diagnostic or compatible his-tology.Controls were randomly chosen from a cohort of patients who were admitted in the same period and required a colonoscopy,excluding those with diagnosis of colitis.Cases were matched with controls(ratio 1:2),by age and sex.A conditional logistic regression was performed.RESULTS:A total of 483 patients(161 cases,322 con-trols)were included;mean age 75.67±10.03 years,55.9%women.The principal indications for colonos-copy in the control group were lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage(35.4%),anemia(33.9%),abdominal pain(19.9%)and diarrhea(9.6%).The endoscopic findings in this group were hemorrhoids(25.5%),diverticular disease(30.4%),polyps(19.9%)and colorectal cancer(10.2%).The following variables were associated with IC in the univariate analysis:arterial hypertension(P= 0.033);dyslipidemia(P<0.001);diabetes mellitus(P =0.025);peripheral arterial disease(P=0.004);heart failure(P=0.026);treatment with hypotensive drugs(P=0.023);angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors;(P=0.018);calcium channel antagonists(P=0.028);and acetylsalicylic acid(ASA)(P<0.001).Finally,the following variables were independently associated with the development of IC:diabetes mellitus[odds ratio(OR)1.76,95%confidence interval(CI):1.001-3.077,P=0.046];dyslipidemia(OR 2.12,95%CI:1.26-3.57,P=0.004);heart failure(OR 3.17,95%CI:1.31-7.68,P=0.01);peripheral arterial disease(OR 4.1,95%CI:1.32-12.72,P=0.015);treatment with digoxin(digitalis)(OR 0.27,95%CI:0.084-0.857,P=0.026);and ASA(OR 1.97,95%CI:1.16-3.36,P=0.012).CONCLUSION:The development of an episode of IC was independently associated with diabetes,dyslipid-emia,presence of heart failure,peripheral arterial dis-ease and treatment with digoxin or ASA. | Joaquín Cubiella Fernández Luisa Núez Calvo Elvira González Vázquez Maria Jesús García García Maria Teresa Alves Pérez Isabel Martínez Silva Javier Fernández Seara | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36: | 27 |
| 2 | 在 laparoscopic 肝外科的快轨道的节目: 理论或事实?显示文摘 AIM:To analyze our results after the introduction of a fast-track(FT) program after laparoscopic liver surgery in our Hepatobiliarypancreatic Unit.METHODS:All patients(43) undergoing laparoscopic liver surgery between March 2004 and March 2010 were included and divided into two consecutive groups:Control group(CG) from March 2004 until December 2006 with traditional perioperative cares(17 patients) and fast-track group(FTG) from January 2007 until March 2010 with FT program cares(26 patients).Primary endpoint was the influence of the program on the postoperative stay,the amount of re-admissions,morbidity and mortality.Secondarily we considered duration of surgery,use of drains,conversion to open surgery,intensive cares needs and transfusion.RESULTS:Both groups were homogeneous in age and sex.No differences in technique,time of surgery or conversion to open surgery were found,but more malignant diseases were operated in the FTG,and then transfusions were higher in FTG.Readmissions and morbidity were similar in both groups,without mortality.Postoperative stay was similar,with a median of 3 for CG vs 2.5 for FTG.However,the 80.8% of patients from FTG left the hospital within the first 3 d after surgery(58.8% for CG).CONCLUSION:The introduction of a FT program after laparoscopic liver surgery improves the recovery of patients without increasing complications or re-admissions,which leads to a reduction of the stay and costs. | Belinda Sánchez-Pérez José Manuel Aranda-Narváez Miguel Angel Suárez-Muoz Moises elAdel-delFresno José Luis Fernández-Aguilar Jose Antonio Pérez-Daga Ysabel Pulido-Roa Julio Santoyo-Santoyo | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2012,4,11: | 18 |

| 4 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in diagnosis and characterization of focal hepatic lesions显示文摘The extensive use of imaging techniques in differential diagnosis of abdominal conditions and screening of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic hepatic diseases,has led to an important increase in identification of focal liver lesions.The development of contrastenhanced ultrasound(CEUS) opens a new window in the diagnosis and follow-up of these lesions.This technique offers obvious advantages over the computed tomography and magnetic resonance,without a decrease in its sensitivity and specificity.The new second generation contrast agents,due to their intravascular distribution,allow a continuous evaluation of the enhancement pattern,which is crucial in characterization of liver lesions.The dual blood supply in the liver shows three different phases,namely arterial,portal and late phases.The enhancement during portal and late phases can give important information about the lesion's behavior.Each liver lesion has a different enhancement pattern that makes possible an accurate approach to their diagnosis.The role of emerging techniques as a contrastenhanced three-dimensional US is also discussed.In this article,the advantages,indications and technique employed during CEUS and the different enhancement patterns of most benign and malignant focal liver lesions are discussed. | Inés Gómez Molins Juan Manuel Fernández Font Juan Carrero álvaro Jose Luís Lledó Navarro Marta Fernández Gil Conrado M Fernández Rodríguez | 2010 | World Journal of Radiology2010,2,12: | 14 |
| 5 | Helicobacter pylori infection as a cause of iron deficiency anaemia of unknown origin显示文摘AIM: To assess the aetiological role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in adult patients with ironrefractory or iron-dependent anaemia of previously unknown origin. METHODS: Consecutive patients with chronic irondeficient anaemia (IDA) with H. pylori infection and a negative standard work-up were prospectively evaluated. All of them had either iron refractoriness or iron dependency. Response to H. pylori eradication was assessed at 6 and 12 mo from follow-up. H. pylori infection was considered to be the cause of the anaemia when a complete anaemia resolution without iron supplements was observed after eradication. RESULTS: H. pylori was eradicated in 88 of the 89 patients. In the non-eradicated patient the four eradicating regimens failed. There were violations of protocol in 4 patients, for whom it was not possible to ascertain the cause of the anaemia. Thus, 84 H. pylori eradicated patients (10 men; 74 women) were available to assess the effect of eradication on IDA. H. pylori infection was considered to be the aetiology of IDA in 32 patients (38.1%; 95%CI: 28.4%-48.8%). This was more frequent in men/postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women (75% vs 23.3%; P < 0.0001) with an OR of 9.8 (95%CI: 3.3-29.6). In these patients, anaemia resolution occurred in the first follow-up visit at 6 mo, and no anaemia or iron deficiency relapse was observed after a mean follow-up of 21 ± 2 mo. CONCLUSION: Gastric H. pylori infection is a frequent cause of iron-refractory or iron-dependent anaemia of previously unknown origin in adult patients. | Helena Monzón Montserrat Forné Maria Esteve Mercé Rosinach Carme Loras Jorge C Espinós Josep M Viver Antonio Salas Fernando Fernández-Baares | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26: | 13 |

| 7 | Ketamine anesthesia reduces intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of ketamine anesthesia on the motility alterations and tissue injury caused by ischemia/reperfusion in rats. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were used. Ischemia was induced by ob-structing blood flow in 25% of the total small intesti-nal length (ileum) with a vascular clamp for 45 min, after which either 60 min or 24 h of reperfusion was allowed. Rats were either anesthetized with pento-barbital sodium (50 mg/kg) or ketamine (100 mg/kg). Control groups received sham surgery. After 60 min of reperfusion, the intestine was examined for mor-phological alterations, and after 24 h intestinal basic electrical rhythm (BER) frequency was calculated, and intestinal transit determined in all groups. RESULTS: The intestinal mucosa in rats that were anesthetized with ketamine showed moderate altera-tions such as epithelial lifting, while ulceration and hemorrhage was observed in rats that received pento-barbital sodium after 60 min of reperfusion. Quantita-tive analysis of structural damage using the Chiu scaleshowed significantly less injury in rats that received ketamine than in rats that did not (2.35 ± 1.14 vs 4.58 ± 0.50, P < 0.0001). The distance traveled by a mark-er, expressed as percentage of total intestinal length, in rats that received pentobarbital sodium was 20% ± 2% in comparison with 25.9% ± 1.64% in rats that re-ceived ketamine (P = 0.017). BER was not statistically different between groups. CONCLUSION: Our results show that ketamine anesthesia is associated with diminished intestinal injury and abolishes the intestinal transit delay induced by ischemia/reperfusion. | Carlos Rodrigo Cámara Francisco Javier Guzmán Ernesto Alexis Barrera Andrés Jesús Cabello Armando Garcia Nancy Esthela Fernández Eloy Caballero Jesus Ancer | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,33: | 5 |
| 8 | Adjuvant therapy sparing in rectal cancer achieving complete response after chemoradiation显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the long-term results of conventional chemoradiotherapy and laparoscopic mesorectal excision in rectal adenocarcinoma patients without adjuvant therapy.METHODS:Patients with biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the rectum staged cT3-T4 by endoscopic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging received neoadjuvant continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil for five weeks and concomitant radiotherapy.Laparoscopic surgery was planned after 5-8 wk.Patients diagnosed with ypT0N0 stage cancer were not treated with adjuvant therapy according to the protocol.Patients with ypT1-2N0 or ypT3-4 or N+were offered 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant treatment on an individual basis.An external cohort was used as a reference for the findings.RESULTS:One hundred and seventy six patients were treated with induction chemoradiotherapy and 170underwent total mesorectal excision.Cancer staging of ypT0N0 was achieved in 26/170(15.3%)patients.After a median follow-up of 58.3 mo,patients withypT0N0 had five-year disease-free and overall survival rates of 96%(95%CI:77-99)and 100%,respectively.We provide evidence about the natural history of patients with localized rectal cancer achieving a complete response after preoperative chemoradiation.The inherent good prognosis of these patients will have implications for clinical trial design and care of patients.CONCLUSION:Withholding adjuvant chemotherapy after complete response following standard neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and laparoscopic mesorectal excision might be safe within an experienced multidisciplinary team. | Xabier García-Albéniz Rosa Gallego Ralf Dieter Hofheinz Gloria Fernández-Esparrach Juan Ramón Ayuso-Colella Josep Antoni Bombí Carles Conill Miriam Cuatrecasas Salvadora Delgado Angels Ginés Rosa Miquel Mario Pagés Estela Pineda Verónica Pereira Aarón Sosa Oscar Reig Iván Victoria Luis Feliz Antonio María de Lacy Antoni Castells Iris Burkholder Andreas Hochhaus Joan Maurel | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,42: | 5 |
| 9 | Differential colorectal carcinogenesis:Molecular basis and clinical relevance显示文摘Colorectal cancer(CCR) is one of the most frequent cancers in developed countries.It poses a major public health problem and there is renewed interest in understanding the basic principles of the molecular biology of colorectal cancer.It has been established that sporadic CCRs can arise from at least two different carcinogenic pathways.The traditional pathway,also called the suppressor or chromosomal instability pathway,follows the Fearon and Vogelstein model and shows mutation in classical oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes,such as K-ras,adenomatous polyposis coli,deleted in colorectal cancer,or p53.Alterations in the Wnt pathway are also very common in this type of tumour.The second main colorectal carcinogenesis pathway is the mutator pathway.This pathway is present in nearly 15% of all cases of sporadic colorectal cancer.It is characterized by the presence of mutations in the microsatellite sequences caused by a defect in the DNA mismatch repair genes,mostly in hMLH1 or hMSH2.These two pathways have clear molecular differences,which will be reviewed in this article,but they also present distinct histopathological features.More strikingly,their clinical behaviours are completely different,having the 'mutator' tumours a better outcome than the 'suppressor' tumours. | Alberto Morán Paloma Ortega Carmen de Juan Tamara Fernández-Marcelo Cristina Frías Andrés Sánchez-Pernaute Antonio José Torres Eduardo Díaz-Rubio Pilar Iniesta Manuel Benito | 2010 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2010,2,3: | 5 |
| 10 | Arachidyl amido cholanoic acid improves liver glucose and lipid homeostasis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis via AMPK and mTOR regulation显示文摘BACKGROUND Arachidyl amido cholanoic acid(Aramchol)is a potent downregulator of hepatic stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1(SCD1)protein expression that reduces liver triglycerides and fibrosis in animal models of steatohepatitis.In a phase IIb clinical trial in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),52 wk of treatment with Aramchol reduced blood levels of glycated hemoglobin A1c,an indicator of glycemic control.AIM To assess lipid and glucose metabolism in mouse hepatocytes and in a NASH mouse model[induced with a 0.1%methionine and choline deficient diet(0.1MCD)]after treatment with Aramchol.METHODS Isolated primary mouse hepatocytes were incubated with 20μmol/L Aramchol or vehicle for 48 h.Subsequently,analyses were performed including Western blot,proteomics by mass spectrometry,and fluxomic analysis with 13C-uniformly labeled glucose.For the in vivo part of the study,male C57BL/6J mice were randomly fed a control or 0.1MCD for 4 wk and received 1 or 5 mg/kg/d Aramchol or vehicle by intragastric gavage for the last 2 wk.Liver metabolomics were assessed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-time of flight-MS for the determination of glucose metabolism-related metabolites.RESULTS Combination of proteomics and Western blot analyses showed increased AMPK activity while the activity of nutrient sensor mTORC1 was decreased by Aramchol in hepatocytes.This translated into changes in the content of their downstream targets including proteins involved in fatty acid(FA)synthesis and oxidation[PACCα/β(S79),SCD1,CPT1A/B,HADHA,and HADHB],oxidative phosphorylation(NDUFA9,NDUFB11,NDUFS1,NDUFV1,ETFDH,and UQCRC2),tricarboxylic acid(TCA)cycle(MDH2,SUCLA2,and SUCLG2),and ribosome(P-p70S6K[T389]and P-S6[S235/S236]).Flux experiments with 13Cuniformely labeled glucose showed that TCA cycle cataplerosis was reduced by Aramchol in hepatocytes,as indicated by the increase in the number of rounds that malate remained in the TCA cycle.Finally,liver metabolomic analysis showed that glucose homeostasis was improved by Aramchol in 0.1MCD fed mice in a dose-dependent manner,showing normalization of glucose,G6P,F6P,UDP-glucose,and Rbl5P/Xyl5P.CONCLUSION Aramchol exerts its effect on glucose and lipid metabolism in NASH through activation of AMPK and inhibition of mTORC1,which in turn activate FAβ-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation. | David Fernández-Ramos Fernando Lopitz-Otsoa Laura Delacruz-Villar Jon Bilbao Martina Pagano Laura Mosca Maider Bizkarguenaga Marina Serrano-Macia Mikel Azkargorta Marta Iruarrizaga-Lejarreta Jesús Sot Darya Tsvirkun Sebastiaan Martijn van Liempd Felix M Goni Cristina Alonso María Luz Martínez-Chantar Felix Elortza Liat Hayardeny Shelly C Lu JoséM Mato | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,34: | 5 |

| 12 | Interplay between post-translational cyclooxygenase-2 modifications and the metabolic and proteomic profile in a colorectal cancer cohort显示文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer death worldwide. It is broadly described that cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) is mainly overexpressed in CRC but less is known regarding post-translational modifications of this enzyme that may regulate its activity, intracellular localization and stability. Since metabolic and proteomic profile analysis is essential for cancer prognosis and diagnosis, our hypothesis is that the analysis of correlations between these specific parameters and COX-2 state in tumors of a high number of CRC patients could be useful for the understanding of the basis of this cancer in humans.AIM To analyze COX-2 regulation in colorectal cancer and to perform a detailed analysis of their metabolic and proteomic profile.METHODS Biopsies from both healthy and pathological colorectal tissues were taken under informed consent from patients during standard colonoscopy procedure in the University Hospital of Bellvitge(Barcelona, Spain) and Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital(Campus Can Ruti)(Barcelona, Spain). Western blot analysis was used to determine COX-2 levels. Deglycosylation assays were performed in both cells and tumor samples incubating each sample with peptide N-glycosidase F(PNGase F). Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) levels were determined using a specific ELISA. 1 H high resolution magic angle spinning(HRMAS) analysis was performed using a Bruker AVIII 500 MHz spectrometer and proteomic analysis was performed in a nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer(nano LC-MS/MS) using a QExactive HF orbitrap MS.RESULTS Our data show that COX-2 has a differential expression profile in tumor tissue of CRC patients vs the adjacent non-tumor area, which correspond to a glycosylated and less active state of the protein. This fact was associated to a lesser PGE2 production in tumors. These results were corroborated in vitro performing deglycosylation assays in HT29 cell line where COX-2 protein profile was modified after PNGase F incubation, showing higher PGE2 levels. Moreover,HRMAS analysis indicated that tumor tissue has altered metabolic features vs non-tumor counterparts, presenting increased levels of certain metabolites such as taurine and phosphocholine and lower levels of lactate. In proteomic experiments, we detected an enlarged number of proteins in tumors that are mainly implicated in basic biological functions like mitochondrial activity,DNA/RNA processing, vesicular trafficking, metabolism, cytoskeleton and splicing.CONCLUSION In our colorectal cancer cohort, tumor tissue presents a differential COX-2 expression pattern with lower enzymatic activity that can be related to an altered metabolic and proteomic profile. | Patricia Prieto Rafael I Jaén Daniel Calle María Gómez-Serrano Estefanía Nú?ez María Fernández-Velasco Paloma Martín-Sanz Sergio Alonso Jesús Vázquez Sebastián Cerdán Miguel ángel Peinado Lisardo Boscá | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,4: | 4 |

| 16 | Immunohistochemical 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 | 2017 | World Journal of Nephrology2017,6,1: | 4 |
| 17 | Lignin depolymerization for phenolic monomers production by sustainable processes显示文摘Biomass wastes(almond shell and olive tree pruning) were used in this work as raw materials for the extraction of high purity lignin by different delignification methods. A pretreatment stage was carried out to remove the major hemicelluloses content in the solid feedstocks. Afterward, two sulfur-free pulping processes(soda and organosolv) were applied to extract the largest fraction of lignin. The extracted lignin contained in the liquors was isolated using selective precipitation methods to design a tailor-made technique for obtaining high-purity lignin(in all cases more 90% of purity was reached). Soda process allowed the extraction of more lignin(around 40%–47%) than organosolv process(lower than 20%) regardless of the lignocellulosic source employed.Once the different lignin samples were isolated and characterized, they were depolymerized for the obtaining of small phenolic compounds. Three main streams were produced after the reaction: phenolic enriched oil, residual lignin and coke. After the purification of these fractions, their quantifications and characterization were conducted.The most abundant product of the reaction was residual lignin generated by the undesirable repolymerization of the initial lignin with yields around 30%–45%. The yield of the stream enriched in phenolic oil was higher than 20%. Coke, the lowest added-value product, presented a yield lower than 12% in all the cases. Lignin from organosolv presented higher phenolic oil yields, mainly due to their lower molecular size. This parameter was, thus, considered a key factor to obtain higher yields. | Javier Fernández-Rodríguez Xabier Erdocia Cristina Sánchez María González Alriols Jalel Labidi | 2017 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2017,26,4: | 4 |
| 18 | T_3-induced liver AMP-activated protein kinase signaling:Redox dependency and upregulation of downstream targets显示文摘AIM:To investigate the redox dependency and promotion of downstream targets in thyroid hormone(T3)-induced AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)signaling as cellular energy sensor to limit metabolic stresses in the liver.METHODS:Fed male Sprague-Dawley rats were given a single ip dose of 0.1 mg T3/kg or T3 vehicle(Na OH0.1 N;controls)and studied at 8 or 24 h after treatment.Separate groups of animals received 500 mg N-acetylcysteine(NAC)/kg or saline ip 30 min prior T3.Measurements included plasma and liver 8-isoprostane and serumβ-hydroxybutyrate levels(ELISA),hepaticlevels of m RNAs(q PCR),proteins(Western blot),and phosphorylated AMPK(ELISA).RESULTS:T3 upregulates AMPK signaling,including the upstream kinases Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase-βand transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase-1,with T3-induced reactive oxygen species having a causal role due to its suppression by pretreatment with the antioxidant NAC.Accordingly,AMPK targets acetyl-Co A carboxylase and cyclic AMP response element binding protein are phosphorylated,with the concomitant carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1α(CPT-1α)activation and higher expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γco-activator-1αand that of the fatty acid oxidation(FAO)-related enzymes CPT-1α,acyl-Co A oxidase 1,and acylCo A thioesterase 2.Under these conditions,T3 induced a significant increase in the serum levels ofβ-hydroxybutyrate,a surrogate marker for hepatic FAO.CONCLUSION:T3 administration activates liver AMPK signaling in a redox-dependent manner,leading to FAO enhancement as evidenced by the consequent ketogenic response,which may constitute a key molecular mechanism regulating energy dynamics to support T3preconditioning against ischemia-reperfusion injury. | Luis A Videla Virginia Fernández Pamela Cornejo Romina Vargas Paula Morales Juan Ceballo Alvaro Fischer Nicolás Escudero Oscar Escobar | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,46: | 3 |

| 20 | rate of adverse events of gastroduodenal snare polypectomy for non-flat polyp is low: A prospective and multicenter study显示文摘AIM To evaluate the rate of adverse events(AEs) during consecutive gastric and duodenal polypectomies in several Spanish centers. METHODS Polypectomies of protruded gastric or duodenal polyps ≥ 5 mm using hot snare were prospectively included. Prophylactic measures of hemorrhage were allowed in predefined cases. AEs were defined and graded according to the lexicon recommended by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Patients were followed for 48 h, one week and 1 mo after theprocedure. RESULTS308 patients were included and a single polypectomy was performed in 205. Only 36(11.7%) were on prior anticoagulant therapy. Mean polyp size was 15 ± 8.9 mm(5-60) and in 294 cases(95.4%) were located in the stomach. Hemorrhage prophylaxis was performed in 219(71.1%) patients. Nine patients presented AEs(2.9%), and 6 of them were bleeding(n = 6, 1.9%)(in 5 out of 6 AE, different types of endoscopic treatment were performed). Other 24 hemorrhagic episodes could be managed without any change in the outcome of the endoscopy and, consequently, were considered incidents. We did not find any independent risk factor of bleeding.CONCLUSION Gastroduodenal polypectomy using prophylactic measures has a rate of AEs small enough to consider this procedure a safe and effective method for polyp resection independently of the polyp size and location. | Henry Córdova Lidia Argüello Carme Loras Antonio Naranjo Rodríguez Faust Riu Pons Joan B Gornals David Nicolás-Pérez Xavier Andújar Murcia Luis Hernández Santos Santolaria Carles Leal Carles Pons Enrique Pérez-Cuadrado-Robles Orlando García-Bosch Michel Papo Berger José Luis Ulla Rocha Cristina Sánchez-Montes Gloria Fernández-Esparrach | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,47: | 3 |
