| 1 | Clinical implications of fatty pancreas:Correlations between fatty pancreas and metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM:To investigate the clinical implications of lipid deposition in the pancreas(fatty pancreas). METHODS:The subjects of this study were 293 patients who had undergone abdominal computed tomography(CT)and sonography.Fatty pancreas was diagnosed by sonographic findings and subdivided into mild,moderate,and severe fatty pancreas groups comparing to the retroperitoneal fat echogenicity. RESULTS:Fatty pancreas was associated with higher levels for visceral fat,waist circumference,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein,free fatty acid,γ-GTP,insulin,and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)than the control group(P<0.05).HOMAIR,visceral fat,triglyceride,and ALT also tended to increase with the degree of fat deposition in the pancreas on sonography.In a multivariate logistic regression analysis,HOMA-IR,visceral fat,and ALT level were independently related to fatty pancreas after adjustment for age,body mass index,and lipid profile.The incidence of metabolic syndrome in the fatty pancreas group was significantly higher than in the control group,and the numbers of metabolic syndrome parameters were significantly higher in the fatty pancreas group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Sonographic fatty pancrease showed higher insulin resistance,visceral fat area,triglyceride, and ALT levels than normal pancreases.Fatty pancreas also showed a strong correlation with metabolic syndrome. | Jun Seok Lee Sang Heum Kim Dae Won Jun Jee Hye Han Eun Chul Jang Ji Young Park Byung Kwan Son Seong Hwan Kim Yoon Ju Jo Young Sook Park Yong Soo Kim | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，15： | 40 |
| 2 | Histopathology and TB-PCR kit analysis in differentiating the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis and Crohn’s disease显示文摘AIM: To compare the histopathologic features of intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) and Crohn’s disease (CD) and to identify whether polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB-PCR) would be helpful for differential diagnosis between ITB and CD.METHODS: We selected 97 patients with established diagnoses (55 cases of ITB and 42 cases of CD) who underwent colonoscopic biopsies.Microscopic features of ITB and CD were reviewed,and eight pathologic parameters were evaluated.Nine cases of acid fast bacilli culture-positive specimens and 10 normal colonic tissue specimens were evaluated as the positive and negative control of the TB-PCR test,respectively.PCR assays were done using two commercial kits: kit detected IS6110 and MPB64,and kit detected IS6110 only;a manual in-house PCR method was also performed on formalin-fi xed,paraffi n-embedded colonoscopic biopsy specimens.RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were noted between ITB and CD with regard histopathologic criteria: size of granulomas (P = 0.000),giant cells (P = 0.015),caseation necrosis (P = 0.003),confluent granulomas (P = 0.001),discrete granulomas (P = 0.000),and granulomas with lymphoid cuffs (P = 0.037).However,29 cases (52.7%) of ITB showed less than fi ve kinds of pathologic parameters,resulting in confusion with CD.The sensitivities and specificities of the TB-PCR test by kit ,kit ,and the in-house PCR method were 88.9% and 100%,88.9% and 100%,and 66.7% and 100% in positive and negative controls,respectively.The PCR test done on endoscopic biopsy specimens of ITB and CD were signifi cantly different with kit (P = 0.000) and kit (P = 0.000).The sensitivities and specifi cities of TB-PCR were 45.5% and 88.1%,36.4% and 100%,and 5.8% and 100%,for kit and kit and inhouse PCR method on endoscopic biopsy specimens.Among the 29 cases of histopathologically confusing CD,10 cases assayed using kit and 6 cases assayed using kit were TB-PCR positive.A combination of histologic fi ndings and TB-PCR testing led to an increase of diagnostic sensitivity and the increase (from 47.3% to 58.2) was statistically signifi cant with kit (P = 0.000).CONCLUSION: The TB-PCR test combined with histopathologic factors appears to be a helpful technique in formulating the differential diagnosis of ITB and CD in endoscopic biopsy samples. | Joon Mee Kim Hyung Kil Kim Lucia Kim Suk Jin Choi In Suh Park Jee Young Han Young Chae Chu Kye Sook Kwon Eun Joo Kim | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，20： | 20 |
| 3 | Favorable surgical treatment outcomes for chronic constipation with features of colonic pseudo-obstruction显示文摘AIM:To determine long-term outcomes of surgical treatments for patients with constipation and features of colonic pseudo-obstruction.METHODS:Consecutive 42 patients who underwent surgery for chronic constipation within the last 13 years were prospectively collected.We identified a subgroup with colonic pseudo-obstruction(CPO) features,with dilatation of the colon proximal to the narrowed transitional zone,in contrast to typical slowtransit constipation(STC),without any dilated colonic segments.The outcomes of surgical treatments for chronic constipation with features of CPO were analyzed and compared with outcomes for STC.RESULTS:Of the 42 patients who underwent surgery for constipation,33 patients had CPO with dilatation of the colon proximal to the narrowed transitional zone.There were 16 males and 17 females with a mean age of 51.2 ± 16.1 years.All had symptoms of chronic intestinal obstruction,including abdominal distension,pain,nausea,or vomiting,and the mean duration of symptoms was 67 mo(range:6-252 mo).Preoperative defecation frequency was 1.5 ± 0.6 times/wk(range:1-2 times/wk).Thirty-two patients underwent total colectomy,and one patient underwent diverting transverse colostomy.There was no surgery-related mortality.Postoperative histologic examination showed hypoganglionosis or agangliosis in 23 patients and hypoganglionosis combined with visceral neuropathy or myopathy in 10 patients.In contrast,histology of STC group revealed intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B(n = 6) and visceral myopathy(n = 3).Early postoperative complications developed in six patients with CPO;wound infection(n = 3),paralytic ileus(n = 2),and intraabdominal abscess(n = 1).Defecation frequencies 3 mo after surgery improved to 4.2 ± 3.2 times/d(range:1-15 times/d).Long-term follow-up(median:39.7 mo) was available in 32 patients;all patients had improvements in constipation symptoms,but two patients needed intermittent medication for management of diarrhea.All 32 patients had distinct improvements in constipation symptoms(with a mean bowel frequency of 3.3 ± 1.3 times/d),social activities,and body mass index(20.5 kg/m 2 to 22.1 kg/m 2) and were satisfied with the results of their surgical treatment.In comparison with nine patients who underwent colectomy for STC without colon dilatation,those in the CPO group had a lower incidence of small bowel obstructions(0% vs 55.6%,P < 0.01) and less difficulty with long-distance travel(6.7% vs 66.7%,P = 0.007) on long-term follow-up.CONCLUSION:Chronic constipation patients with features of CPO caused by narrowed transitional zone in the left colon had favorable outcomes after total colectomy. | Eon Chul Han Heung-Kwon Oh Heon-Kyun Ha Eun Kyung Choe Sang Hui Moon Seung-Bum Ryoo Kyu Joo Park | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，32： | 16 |
| 4 | Occult hepatitis B virus infection and blood transfusion显示文摘Transfusion-transmitted infections including hepatitis B virus(HBV) have been a major concern in transfusion medicine. Implementation of HBV nucleic acid testing(NAT) has revealed occult HBV infection(OBI) in blood donors. In the mid-1980 s, hepatitis B core antibody(HBc) testing was introduced to screen blood donors in HBV non-endemic countries to prevent transmission of non-A and non-B hepatitis. That test remains in use for preventing of potential transmission of HBV from hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag)-negative blood donors, even though anti-hepatitis C virus testshave been introduced. Studies of anti-HBc-positive donors have revealed an HBV DNA positivity rate of 0%-15%. As of 2012, 30 countries have implemented HBV NAT. The prevalence of OBI in blood donors was estimated to be 8.55 per 1 million donations, according to a 2008 international survey. OBI is transmissible by blood transfusion. The clinical outcome of occult HBV transmission primarily depends on recipient immune status and the number of HBV DNA copies present in the blood products. The presence of donor anti-HBs reduces the risk of HBV infection by approximately five-fold. The risk of HBV transmission may be lower in endemic areas than in non-endemic areas, because most recipients have already been exposed to HBV. Blood safety for HBV, including OBI, has substantially improved, but the possibility for OBI transmission remains. | Dong Hee Seo Dong Hee Whang Eun Young Song Kyou Sup Han | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，3： | 13 |
| 5 | Clinicopathological features and prognosis of combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma after surgery显示文摘BACKGROUND: Combined hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma (cH CC-CC) is a rare subtype of primary liver cancer consisting of both hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)and cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Because of the rarity of this tumor its feature is poorly understood. The present study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features and long-term prognosis of patients with cH CC-CC after surgery and to compare with those of the patients with stage-matched HCC and CC.METHODS: The clinicopathological features of the patients who underwent surgery for cH CC-CC at our center during the period of 2001-2010 were retrospectively analyzed and compared with those of stage-matched HCC and CC patients Cancer staging was performed according to the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual (6th ed.). Overall survival and disease-free survival were compared among the groups and prognostic factors of cH CC-CC were evaluated.RESULTS: Significant differences were observed in clinico pathological features among 42 patients with cH CC-CC, 90patients with HCC and 45 patients with CC. Similar to HCC patients, cH CC-CC patients had frequent hepatitis B virus antigen positivity, microscopic vessel invasion, cirrhosis and high level of serum alpha-fetoprotein. Similar to CC patients, cH CC-CC patients showed increased bile duct invasion and decreased capsule. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival and disease free survival of patients with cH CC-CC were not significantly different from those with stage-matched patients with CC;but significantly poorer than those with HCC. In subanalysis of patients with stage II, the overall survival in patients with cH CC-CC or CC was significantly poorer than that in patients , with HCC. We did not find the difference in patients with other stages. Univariate analysis of overall and disease-free survival of patients with cH CC-CC showed that the vascular invasion and intrahepatic metastasis were the significant predictive factors.CONCLUSION: Patients with cH CC-CC showed similar clinico- pathological features as those with HCC or CC, and patients with cH CC-CC or CC had a poorer prognosis compared with those with HCC, especially at matched stage II.. | Seung Duk Lee Sang-Jae Park Sung-Sik Han Seong Hoon Kim Young-Kyu Kim Soon-Ae Lee Young Hwan Ko Eun Kyung Hong | 2014 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2014，13，6： | 11 |
| 6 | Surgical outcome of pancreatic cancer using radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy procedure显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the surgical outcomes following radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) for pancreatic cancer. METHODS:Twenty-four patients underwent RAMPS with curative intent between January 2005 and June 2009 at the National Cancer Center, South Korea. Clinicopathologic data, including age, sex, operative findings, pathologic results, adjuvant therapy, postop-erative clinical course and follow-up data were retro-spectively collected and analyzed for this study. RESULTS:Twenty-one patients (87.5%) underwent distal pancreatectomy and 3 patients (12.5%) underwent total pancreatectomy using RAMPS. Nine patients (37.5%) underwent combined vessel resection, including 8 superior mesenteric-portal vein resections and 1 celiac axis resection. Two patients (8.3%) underwent combined resection of other organs, including the colon, stomach or duodenum. Negative tangential margins were achieved in 22 patients (91.7%). The mean tumor diameter for all patients was 4.09 ± 2.15 cm. The 2 patients with positive margins had a mean diameter of 7.25 cm. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 20.92 ± 11.24 and the node positivity rate was 70.8%. The median survival of the 24 patients was 18.23 ± 6.02 mo. Patients with negative margins had a median survival of 21.80 ± 5.30 mo and those with positive margins had a median survival of 6.47 mo (P = 0.021). Nine patients (37.5%) had postoperative complications, but there were no postoperative mortalities. Pancreatic fistula occurred in 4 patients (16.7%):2 patients had a grade A fistula and 2 had a grade B fistula. On univariate analysis, histologic grade, positive tangential margin, pancreatic fistula and adjuvant therapy were significant prognostic factors for survival. CONCLUSION:RAMPS is a feasible procedure for achieving negative tangential margins in patients with carcinoma of the body and tail of the pancreas. | Ye Rim Chang Sung-Sik Han Sang-Jae Park Seung Duk Lee Tae Suk Yoo Young-Kyu Kim Tae Hyun Kim Sang Myung Woo Woo Jin Lee Eun Kyung Hong | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，39： | 9 |
| 7 | Randomized controlled trial of sodium phosphate tablets vs polyethylene glycol solution for colonoscopy bowel cleansing显示文摘AIM:To compare efficacy,patient compliance,acceptability,satisfaction,safety,and adenoma detection rate of sodium phosphate tablets(NaP,CLICOLONTM)to a standard 4 L polyethylene glycol(PEG)solution for bowel cleansing for adults undergoing colonoscopy.METHODS:In this multicenter,randomized,prospective,investigator-blind study,the relatively young(19-60years)healthy outpatients without comorbidity were randomly assigned to one of two arms.All colonoscopy were scheduled in the morning.The NaP group was asked to take 4 tablets,5 times the evening before and4 tablets,3 times early on the morning of the colonoscopy.The PEG group was asked to ingest 2 L of solution the evening before and 2 L early in the morning of the procedure.Adequacy of bowel preparation was scored using the Boston bowel preparation scale.RESULTS:No significant differences were observed between the NaP group(n=158)and PEG group(n=162)in bowel cleansing quality(adequate preparation93.0%vs 92.6%,P=0.877),patient compliance(P=0.228),overall adverse events(63.3%vs 69.1%,P=0.269),or adenoma detection rate(34.8%vs 35.2%,P=0.944).Patient acceptability,satisfaction,and patient rating of taste were higher in the NaP group than in the PEG group(P<0.001).CONCLUSION:NaP tablets,compared with PEG solution,produced equivalent colon cleansing,did not cause more side effects,and had better patient acceptability and satisfaction in the relatively young(age<60years)healthy individuals without comorbidity.An oral tablet formulation could make bowel preparation less burdensome,resulting in greater patient participation in screening programs. | Yoon Suk Jung Chang Kyun Lee Hyo Jong Kim Chang Soo Eun Dong Soo Han Dong Ⅱ Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，42： | 9 |
| 8 | Evaluation of prognostic factors on recurrence after curative resections for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To select appropriate patients before surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),especially those with advanced tumors.METHODS:From January 2000 to December 2012,we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 298 patients who had undergone surgical resections for HCC with curative intent at our hospital.We evaluated preoperative prognostic factors associated with histologic grade of tumor,recurrence and survival,especially the findings of pre-operative imaging studies such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PETCT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).And then,we established a scoring system to predict recurrence and survival after surgery dividing the patients into two groups based on a tumor size of 5 cm.RESULTS:Of the 298 patients,129(43.3%)developed recurrence during the follow-up period.The 5 year disease free survival and overall survival were 47.0%and58.7%respectively.In multivariate analysis,a serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)level of>100 ng/m L and a standardized uptake value(SUV)of PET-CT of>3.5 were predictive factors for histologic grade of tumor,recurrence,and survival.Tumor size of>5 cm and a relative enhancement ratio(RER)calculated from preoperative MRI were also significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis.We established a scoring system to predict prognosis using AFP,SUV,and RER.In those with tumors of>5 cm,it showed predicted both recurrence(P=0.005)and survival(P=0.001).CONCLUSION:The AFP,tumor size,SUV and RER are useful for prognosis preoperatively.An accurate prediction of prognosis is possible using our scoring system in large size tumors. | Jae Hyun Han Dong Goo Kim Gun Hyung Na Eun Young Kim Soo Ho Lee Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，45： | 8 |
| 9 | Protective effects of electroacupuncture on acetylsalicylic acid-induced acute gastritis in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the protective effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced ulceration in rats. METHODS: We randomly divided 72 rats into three groups including control (administered with distilled water), ASA group (administered 100 mg/kg ASA) and EA group (administered EA + 100 mg/kg ASA). Each rat was fasted for 18 to 24 h before experimentation, and lesion scores, gastric acidity, cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 mRNA levels, and total nitric oxide (NO) concentration were measured. RESULTS: The lesion scores of the EA group were significantly lower than those of the ASA group. Gastric acidity of the ASA and EA groups was reduced compared to the control group. COX-1 and -2 mRNA levels were significantly increased in the EA group as compared to the control and ASA groups, and NO levels were also significantly increased in the EA group as compared to the ASA group. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that EA-mediated protection against ASA-induced ulceration in rats may occur via gastric defense components. | Hye Suk Hwang Kyung-Ju Han Yeon Hee Ryu Eun Jin Yang Yoo Sung Kim Sang Yong Jeong Young-Seop Lee Myeong Soo Lee Sung Tae Koo Sun-Mi Choi | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，8： | 7 |
| 10 | Inflammatory markers as selection criteria of hepatocellular carcinoma in living-donor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM:To investigate that inflammatory markers can predict accurately the prognosis of hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC)patients in living-donor liver transplantation(LDLT).METHODS:From October 2000 to November 2011,224 patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation for HCC at our institution were enrolled in this study.We analyzed disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)after LT in patients with HCC and designed a new score model using pretransplant neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and C-reactive protein(CRP).RESULTS:The DFS and OS in patients with an NLR level≥6.0 or CRP level≥1.0 were significantly worse than those of patients with an NLR level<6.0 or CRP level<1.0(P=0.049,P=0.003 for NLR and P=0.010,P<0.001 for CRP,respectively).Using a new score model using the pretransplant NLR and CRP,we can differentiate HCC patients beyond the Milan criteria with agood prognosis from those with a poor prognosis.CONCLUSION:Combined with the Milan criteria,new score model using NLR and CRP represent new selection criteria for LDLT candidates with HCC,especially beyond the Milan criteria. | Gun Hyung Na Dong Goo Kim Jae hyun Han Eun Young Kim Soo Ho Lee Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，21： | 6 |

| 12 | Dexamethasone inhibits hypoxia-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in colon cancer显示文摘AIM:To elucidate the effects of dexamethasone on hypoxia-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT) in colon cancer.METHODS:Human colon cancer HCT116 and HT29 cells were exposed to normoxic(21%) and hypoxic(1%) conditions. First,the effect of dexamethasone on cell viability was examined by MTT cell proliferation assay. In order to measure the expression levels of EMT markers(Snail,Slug,Twist,E-cadherin,and integrin αVβ6) and hypoxia-related genes [Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)] by dexamethasone,quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis were performed. Furthermore,the morphological changes of colon cancer cells and the expression pattern of E-cadherin by dexamethasone were detected through immunocytochemistry. Finally,the effects of dexamethasone on the invasiveness and migration of colon cancer cells were elucidated using matrigel invasion,migration,and wound healing migration assays.RESULTS:Under hypoxia,dexamethasone treatment inhibited HIF-1α protein level and its downstream gene,VEGF m RNA level in the colon cancer cell lines,HCT116 and HT29. In addition,the presence of dexamethasone down-regulated the m RNA levels of hypoxia-induced Snail,Slug,and Twist,all transcriptional factors of EMT,as well as hypoxia-induced integrin αVβ6 protein level,a well-known EMT marker for colon cancer cells. Furthermore,reduced E-cadherin in hypoxic condition was found to be recoverable by treating with dexamethasone in both colon cancer cell lines. Similarly,under hypoxic conditions,dexamethasone restored the growth pattern and morphological phenotype reminiscent of colon cancer cells grown under normoxic conditions; dexamethasone blocked the migration and invasion of both colorectal cancer cell lines in hypoxia.CONCLUSION:Our study suggested that dexamethasone has inhibitory effects on cell migration and invasion by suppressing EMT of colon cancer cell lines in hypoxic condition. | Jung Ho Kim You-Jin Hwang Sang Hoon Han Young Eun Lee Saerom Kim Yoon Jae Kim Jae Hee Cho Kwang An Kwon Ju Hyun Kim Se-Hee Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，34： | 5 |
| 13 | Assessment of scoring systems for acute-on-chronic liver failure at predicting short-term mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis显示文摘AIM To assess the performance of proposed scores specific for acute-on-chronic liver failure in predicting shortterm mortality among patients with alcoholic hepatitis.METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 264 patients with clinically diagnosed alcoholic hepatitis from January to December 2013 at 21 academic hospitals in Korea. The performance for predicting short-term mortality was calculated for Chronic Liver FailureSequential Organ Failure Assessment(CLIF-SOFA), CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score(CLIF-C OFs), Maddrey'sdiscriminant function(DF), age, bilirubin, international normalized ratio and creatinine score(ABIC), Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score(GAHS), model for end-stage liver disease(MELD), and MELD-Na.RESULTS Of 264 patients, 32(12%) patients died within 28 d. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of CLIF-SOFA, CLIF-C OFs, DF, ABIC, GAHS, MELD, and MELD-Na was 0.86(0.81-0.90), 0.89(0.84-0.92), 0.79(0.74-0.84), 0.78(0.72-0.83), 0.81(0.76-0.86), 0.83(0.78-0.88), and 0.83(0.78-0.88), respectively, for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-SOFA had no statistically significant differences for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-C OFs was superior to that of DF, ABIC, and GAHS, while comparable to that of MELD and MELD-Na in predicting 28-d mortality. A CLIF-SOFA score of 8 had 78.1% sensitivity and 79.7% specificity, and CLIF-C OFs of 10 had 68.8% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity for predicting 28-d mortality.CONCLUSION CLIF-SOFA and CLIF-C OF scores performed well, with comparable predictive ability for short-term mortality compared to the commonly used scoring systems in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. | Hee Yeon Kim Chang Wook Kim Tae Yeob Kim Do Seon Song Dong Hyun Sinn Eileen L Yoon Young Kul Jung Ki Tae Suk Sang Soo Lee Chang Hyeong Lee Tae Hun Kim Jeong Han Kim Hyung Joon Yim Sung Eun Kim Soon Koo Baik Byung Seok Lee Jae Young Jang Young Seok Kim Sang Gyune Kim Jin Mo Yang Joo Hyun Sohn Heon Ju Lee Seung Ha Park Eun Hee Choi Dong Joon Kim Korean Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Study Group | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，41： | 5 |
| 14 | Hwangryunhaedoktang exerts anti-inflammation on LPS-induced NO production by suppressing MAPK and NF-κB activation in RAW264.7 macrophages显示文摘OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate whether Hwangryunhaedoktang(HHT), a herbal compound, has an inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced inflammation in RAW264.7 macrophages.METHODS: The effects of HHT were evaluated by confirming nitric oxide(NO) production and expression of inducible NO synthase(iN OS) and mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPKs) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages via the Griess assay, Western blotting, and real-time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Western blot analyses and luciferase assays were used to evaluate whether HHT has an effect on the phosphorylation and translocation of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB). The secretion and expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6(IL-6) were determined via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot analyses.RESULTS: HHT suppressed LPS-induced NO production and expression of iN OS in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, MAPKs activation was also attenuated via inhibition of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2, c-Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 which were related to inflammatory pathway. Furthermore, HHT also effectively attenuated NF-κB activation and its translocation to the nucleus, a process that is closely linked to inflammation. LPS normally induced the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6, but the secretion and expression of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly attenuated by pretreating the cells with HHT.CONCLUSION: HHT suppressed LPS-induced NO production by blocking the activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways in RAW264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, HHT may have an anti-inflammatory effect by suppressing the LPS-induced secretion of TNF-α and IL-6. Therefore, the traditional herbal formula HHT might be a useful potential therapeutic agent for inflammation. | Byung Hyuk Han Yun Jung Lee Jung Joo Yoon Eun Sik Choi Seung Namgung Xian Jun Jin Da Hye Jeong Dae Gill Kang Ho Sub Lee | 2017 | Journal of Integrative Medicine2017，15，4： | 5 |
| 15 | Correlations between endoscopic and clinical disease activity indices in intestinal Behcet's disease显示文摘AIM:To develop a novel endoscopic severity model of intestinal Behcet's disease(BD) and to evaluate its feasibility by comparing it with the actual disease activity index for intestinal Behcet's disease(DAIBD).METHODS:We reviewed the medical records of 167 intestinal BD patients between March 1986 and April 2011.We also investigated the endoscopic parameters including ulcer locations,distribution,number,depth,shape,size and margin to identify independent factors associated with DAIBD.An endoscopic severity model was developed using significant colonoscopic variables identified by multivariate regression analysis and its correlation with the DAIBD was evaluated.To determine factors related to the discrepancy between endoscopic severity and clinical activity,clinical characteristics and laboratory markers of the patients were analyzed.RESULTS:A multivariate regression analysis revealed that the number of intestinal ulcers(≥ 2,P = 0.031) and volcanoshaped ulcers(P = 0.001) were predictive factors for the DAIBD.An endoscopic severity model(Y) was developed based on selected endoscopic variables as follows:Y = 47.44 + 9.04 × non-Ileocecal area + 11.85 ×≥ 2 of intestinal ulcers + 5.03 × shallow ulcers + 12.76 × deep ulcers + 4.47 × geographicshaped ulcers + 26.93 × volcano-shaped ulcers + 8.65 ×≥ 20 mm of intestinal ulcers.However,endoscopic parameters used in the multivariate analysis explained only 18.9% of the DAIBD variance.Patients with severe DAIBD scores but with moderately predicted disease activity by the endoscopic severity model had more symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome(21.4% vs 4.9%,P = 0.026) and a lower rate of corticosteroid use(50.0% vs 75.6%,P = 0.016) than those with severe DAIBD scores and accurately predicted disease by the model.CONCLUSION:Our study showed that the number of intestinal ulcers and volcano-shaped ulcers were predictive factors for severe DAIBD scores.However,the correlation between endoscopic severity and DAIBD(r = 0.434) was weak. | Hyun Jung Lee Youn Nam Kim Hui Won Jang Han Ho Jeon Eun Suk Jung Soo Jung Park Sung Pil Hong Tae Il Kim Won Ho Kim Chung Mo Nam Jae Hee Cheon | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，40： | 5 |
| 16 | Complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the outcomes of treatments for complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(IPAA)in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis.METHODS:Between March 1998 and February 2013,72 patients(28 male and 44 female,median age 43.0years±14.0 years)underwent total proctocolectomy with IPAA.The study cohort was registered prospectively and analyzed retrospectively.Patient characteristics,medical management histories,operative findings,pathology reports and postoperative clinical courses,including early postoperative and late complications and their treatments,were reviewed from a medical record system.All of the ileal pouches were J-pouch and were performed with either the double-stapling technique(n=69)or a hand-sewn(n=3)technique.RESULTS:Thirty-one(43.1%)patients had early complications,with 12(16.7%)patients with complications related to the pouch.Pouch bleeding,pelvic abscesses and anastomosis ruptures were managed conservatively.Patients with pelvic abscesses were treated with surgical drainage.Twenty-seven(38.0%)patients had late complications during the follow-up period(82.5±50.8 mo),with 21(29.6%)patients with complications related to the pouch.Treatment for pouchitis included antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs.Pouch-vaginal fistulas,perianal abscesses or fistulas and anastomosis strictures were treated surgically.Pouch failure developed in two patients(2.8%).Analyses showed that an emergency operation was a significant risk factor for early pouch-related complications compared to elective procedures(55.6%vs 11.1%,P<0.05).Pouchitis was related to early(35.3%)and the other late pouch-related complications(41.2%)(P<0.05).The complications did not have an effect on pouch failure nor pouch function.CONCLUSION:The complications following IPAA can be treated successfully.Favorable long-term outcomes were achieved with a lower pouch failure rate than reported in Western patients. | Seung-Bum Ryoo Heung-Kwon Oh Eon Chul Han Heon-Kyun Ha Sang Hui Moon Eun Kyung Choe Kyu Joo Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，23： | 4 |
| 17 | Involvement of heme oxygenase-1 induction in anti-vascular inflammation effects of Xanthoceras sorbifolia in human umbilical vein endothelial cells显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To define the effects of Xanthoceras sorbifolia(EXS) on vascular inflammation and the mechanisms in endothelial cells.METHODS: Vascular protective effects of an ethanol extract of seeds from EXS(1-50 μg/mL) against tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)-induced vascularinflammation were examined in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).RESULTS: EXS significantly decreased TNF-α-induced expression of cell adhesion molecules, such as intracellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and endothelial cell selectin,in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with EXS significantly inhibited translocation and transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) increased by TNF-α. EXS also significantly inhibited formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS). Moreover, the vascular protective effects of EXS were linked to up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and nuclear factor E2-related factor-2(Nrf-2) expression. EXS-induced HO-1 expression was significantly decreased in SnPP(HO-1 inhibitor)-and HO-1 siRNA-treated cells, whereas an increase was found in cobalt protoporphyrin IX(CoPP)(HO-1 inducer)-treated cells. In addition, pretreatment with EXS increased HO-1 and Nrf-2 expression under TNF-α stimulation with or without N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of EXS on TNF-α-induced vascular inflammation were partially reversed in SnPP-and of HO-1siRNA-treated cells but increased by CoPP.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that EXS may have important implications for prevention of vascular complications associated with vascular inflammation by inhibition of the NF-κB/ROS pathway and activation of the Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway. | Jung Joo Yoon Byung Hyuk Han Eun Sik Choi Seung Namgung Da Hye Jeong Song Nan Jin Yun Jung Lee Dae Gill Kang Ho Sub Lee | 2018 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2018，38，6： | 4 |
| 18 | Surgical management of colonic diverticular disease:Discrepancy between right- and left-sided diseases显示文摘AIM:To compare the outcome of the surgical management of left-sided and right-sided diverticular disease.METHODS:The medical records of 77 patients who were surgically treated for diverticular disease between 1999 and 2010 in a tertiary referral hospital were retrospectively reviewed.The study population was limited to cases wherein the surgical specimen was confirmed as diverticulosis by pathology.Rightsided diverticula were classified as those arising from the cecum,ascending colon,and transverse colon,and those from the descending colon,sigmoid colon,and rectum were classified as left-sided diverticulosis.To assess the changing trend of occurrence of diverticulosis,data were compared with two previous studies of 51 patients.RESULTS:The proportion of left-sided disease cases was significantly increased compared to the results of our previous studies in 1994 and 2001,(27.5%vs48.1%,P<0.05).Moreover,no differences in gender,body mass index,multiplicity of the diverticula,fever,or leukocytosis were noted between patients with rightsided and left-sided disease.However,patients with right-sided disease were significantly younger(50.9year vs 64.0 year,P<0.01).Furthermore,left-sided disease was significantly associated with a higher incidence of complicated diverticulitis(89.2%vs 57.5%,P<0.01),combined resection due to extensive inflammation(21.6%vs 5.0%,P<0.05),operative complications(51.4%vs 27.5%,P<0.05),and in-hospital mortality(10.8%vs 0%,P<0.05),along with longer post-operative hospitalization duration(21.3±10.2 d vs 10.6±8.1 d,P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Compared with right-sided diverticular disease,the incidence of left-sided disease in Korea has increased since 2001 and is associated with worse surgical outcomes. | Heung-Kwon Oh Eon Chul Han Heon-Kyun Ha Eun Kyung Choe Sang Hui Moon Seung-Bum Ryoo Seung-Yong Jeong Kyu Joo Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，29： | 3 |
| 19 | Diagnostic performance of the current risk-stratified approach with computed tomography for suspected choledocholithiasis and its options when negative finding显示文摘Background:Several studies evaluated the current guideline of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(ASGE)and reported only suboptimal accuracy.This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the ASGE guideline based on computed tomography(CT)and role of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP)in patients with suspected choledocholithiasis but negative CT finding.Methods:Patients with suspected choledocholithiasis undergoing ERCP between January 2016 and January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent CT to detect choledocholithiasis.EUS or MRCP was performed when the CT scan showed negative findings.Patients were classified into the high and intermediate-risk groups,based on predictors from the ASGE criteria.Results:Of 583 patients with suspected choledocholithiasis,340(58.3%)had stones on ERCP(65.9%in the high-risk group and 40.6%in the intermediate-risk group).The accuracy of ASGE guideline for CT was 63.98%(79.12%sensitivity,42.80%specificity)and 36.02%(20.88%sensitivity,57.20%specificity)in the high-risk and intermediate-risk groups,respectively.In 103 patients in the high-risk group underwent both CT and US,the accuracy of CT was higher than that of US for detecting choledocholithiasis(78.64%vs.53.40%),with a significant difference in area under the curve(AUC)(0.78 vs.0.59,P<0.001).Of 339 with negative CT finding,the accuracy of EUS was higher than that of MRCP(90.91%vs.82.76%),but with no significant difference in AUC(0.91 vs.0.83,P=0.347).Conclusions:CT-based ASGE guideline showed superior diagnostic performance than US for predicting choledocholithiasis.The diagnostic options,EUS or MRCP,with negative CT finding showed comparable performance.Therefore,the diagnostic modality should be selected based on availability,experience,cost,and contraindications. | Hyun Woo Lee Tae Jun Song Do Hyun Park Sang Soo Lee Dong-Wan Seo Sung Koo Lee Myung-Hwan Kim Jae Hyuck Jun Ji Eun Moon Yeon Han Song | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019，18，4： | 3 |
| 20 | Periodontitis combined with smoking increases risk of the ulcerative colitis: A national cohort study显示文摘BACKGROUND Periodontitis is a chronic inflammation of periodontal tissues.The effect of periodontitis on the development of inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)remains unclear.AIM To assessed the risk of IBD among patients with periodontitis,and the risk factors for IBD related to periodontitis.METHODS A nationwide population-based cohort study was performed using claims data from the Korean National Healthcare Insurance Service.In total,9950548 individuals aged≥20 years who underwent national health screening in 2009 were included.Newly diagnosed IBD[Crohn’s disease(CD),ulcerative colitis(UC)]using the International Classification of Disease 10th revision and rare intractable disease codes,was compared between the periodontitis and nonperiodontitis groups until 2017.RESULTS A total of 1092825 individuals(11.0%)had periodontitis.Periodontitis was significantly associated with older age,male gender,higher body mass index,quitting smoking,not drinking alcohol,and regular exercise.The mean age was 51.4±12.9 years in the periodontitis group and 46.6±14.2 years in the nonperiodontitis group(P<0.01),respectively.The mean body mass index was 23.9±3.1 and 23.7±3.2 in the periodontitis and non-periodontitis groups,respectively(P<0.01).Men were 604307(55.3%)and 4844383(54.7%)in the periodontitis and non-periodontitis groups,respectively.The mean follow-up duration was 7.26 years.Individuals with periodontitis had a significantly higher risk of UC than those without periodontitis[adjusted hazard ratio:1.091;95%confidence interval(CI):1.008-1.182],but not CD(adjusted hazard ratio:0.879;95%confidence interval:0.731-1.057).The risks for UC were significant in the subgroups of age≥65 years,male gender,alcohol drinker,current smoker,and reduced physical activity.Current smokers aged≥65 years with periodontitis were at a 1.9-fold increased risk of UC than non-smokers aged≥65 years without periodontitis.CONCLUSION Periodontitis was significantly associated with the risk of developing UC,but not CD,particularly in current smokers aged≥65 years. | Eun Ae Kang Jaeyoung Chun Jee Hyun Kim Kyungdo Han Hosim Soh Seona Park Seung Wook Hong Jung Min Moon Jooyoung Lee Hyun Jung Lee Jun-Beom Park Jong Pil Im Joo Sung Kim | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020，26，37： | 3 |
