| 1 | Long-term result of endoscopic Histoacryl (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate)injection for treatment of gastric varices显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of endoscopic obliteration with Histoacryl for treatment of gastric variceal bleeding and prophylaxis.METHODS:Between January 1994 and March 2010 at SoonChunHyang University Hospital,a total of 127 patients with gastric varices received Histoacryl injections endoscopically.One hundred patients underwent endoscopic Histoacryl injections because of variceal bleeding,the other 27 patients received such injections as a prophylactic procedure.RESULTS:According to Sarin classification,56 patients were GOV1,61 patients were GOV2 and 10 patients were IGV.Most of the varices were large(F2 or F3,111 patients).The average volume of Histoacryl per each session was 1.7±1.3 cc and mean number of sessions was 1.3±0.6.(1 session-98 patients,2 sessions-25 patients,≥3 sessions-4 patients).Twenty-seven patients with high risk of bleeding(large or fundal or RCS+or Child C) received Histoacryl injection as a primary prophylactic procedure.In these patients,hepatitis B virus was the major etiology of cirrhosis,25 patients showed GOV1 or 2(92.6%)and F2 or F3 accounted for 88.9%(n=24).The rate of initial hemostasis was 98.4%and recurrent bleeding within one year occurred in 18.1%of patients.Successful hemostasis during episodes of rebleeding was achieved in 73.9%of cases.Median survival was 50 mo (95%CI 30.5-69.5).Major complications occurred in 4 patients(3.1%).The rebleeding rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or GOV2 was higher than in those with other conditions.None of the 27 subjects who were treated prophylactically experienced treatment-related complications.Cumulative survival rates of the 127 patients at 6 mo,1,3,and 5 years were 92.1%,84.2%,64.2%,and 45.3%,respectively.The 6 mo cumulative survival rate of the 27 patients treated prophylactically was 75%.CONCLUSION:Histoacryl injection therapy is an effective treatment for gastric varices and also an effective prophylactic treatment of gastric varices which carry high risk of bleeding. | Eun Jung Kang Soung Won Jeong Jae Young Jang Joo Young Cho Sae Hwan Lee Hyun Gun Kim Sang Gyune Kim Young Seok Kim Young Koog Cheon Young Deok Cho Hong Soo Kim Boo Sung Kim | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,11: | 41 |
| 2 | Risk factors affecting pancreatic fistulas after pancreaticoduodenectomy显示文摘AIM: To analyze the risk factors of pancreatic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 172 consecutive patients who had undergone pancreatico-duodenectomy at Inha University Hospital between April 1996 and March 2006. We analyzed the pancreatic fistula rate according to the clinical characteristics, the pathologic and laboratory findings, and the anastomotic methods.RESULTS: The incidence of developing pancreatic fistulas in patients older than 60 years of age was 21.7% (25/115), while the incidence was 8.8% (5/57) for younger patients; the difference was significant (P = 0.03). Patients with a dilated pancreatic duct had a lower rate of post-operative pancreatic fistulas than patients with a non-dilated duct (P = 0.001). Other factors, including clinical features, anastomotic methods, and pathologic diagnosis, did not show any statistical difference. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that pancreatic fistulas are related to age and a dilated pancreatic duct. The surgeon must take these risk factors into consideration when performing a pancre-aticoduodenectomy. | Yun-Mee Choe Keon-Young Lee Cheong-Ah Oh Joung-Bum Lee Sun Keun Choi Yoon-Seok Hur Sei-Joong Kim Young Up Cho Seung-Ik Ahn Kee-Chun Hong Seok-Hwan Shin Kyung-Rae Kim | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,45: | 32 |
| 3 | Amygdalin inhibits genes related to cell cycle in SNU-C4 human colon cancer cells显示文摘AIM: The genes were divided into seven categories according to biological function; apoptosis-reiated, immune response-related, signal transduction-related, cell cyclerelated, cell growth-related, stress response-related and transcription-related genes.METHODS: We compared the gene expression profiles of SNU-C4 cells between amygdalin-treated (5 mg/mL,24 h) and non-treated groups using cDNA microarray analysis. We selected genes downregulated in cDNA microarray and investigated mRNA levels of the genes by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Microarray showed that amygdalin downregulated especially genes belonging to cell cycle category: exonuclease 1 (EXO1), ATP-binding cassette, sub-family F, member 2 (ABCF2), MRE11 meiotic recombination 11 homolog A (MRE114), topoisomerase (DNA) I (TOP1), and FK506 binding protein 12-rapamycin-associated protein 1 (FRAP1). RT-PCR analysis revealed that mRNA levels of these genes were also decreased by amygdalin treatment in SNU-C4 human colon cancer cells.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that amygdalin have an anticancer effect via downregulation of cell cycle-related genes in SNU-C4 human colon cancer cells,and might be used for therapeutic anticancer drug. | Hae-Jeong Park Seo-Hyun Yoon Long-Shan Han Long-Tai Zheng Kyung-Hee Jung Yoon-Kyung Uhm Je-Hyun Lee Ji-Seon Jeong Woo-Sang Joo Sung-Vin Yim Joo-Ho Chung Seon-Pyo Hong | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,33: | 23 |

| 6 | Treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil for individuals with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM:To investigate retrospectively the long-term efficacy of various treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil(adefovir) in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.METHODS:We included 154 consecutive patients in two treatment groups:the 'add-on' group(n = 79),in which adefovir was added to ongoing lamivudine treatment due to lamivudine resistance,and the 'switch/combination' group(n = 75),in which lamivudine was first switched to adefovir and then re-added later as needed.The 'switch/combination' group was then divided into two subgroups depending on whether participants followed(group A,n = 30) or violated(group B,n = 45) a proposed treatment strategy that determined whether to add lamivudine based on the serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA levels(< 60 IU/mL or not) after 6 mo of treatment(roadmap concept).RESULTS:The cumulative probability of virologic response(HBV DNA < 60 IU/mL) was higher in group A than in the 'add-on' group and in group B(P < 0.001).In contrast,the cumulative probability of virologic breakthrough was lower in the 'add-on' group than in group B(P = 0.002).Furthermore,the risk of virologic breakthrough in the multivariate analysis was significantly lower in the 'add-on' group than in group A(hazard ratio = 0.096;95%CI,0.015-0.629;P = 0.015).CONCLUSION:The selective combination of adefovir with lamivudine based upon early treatment responses increased the odds of virologic breakthrough relative to the use of uniform combination therapy from the beginning of treatment. | Tae Jung Yun Jin Yong Jung Chang Ha Kim Soon Ho Um Hyonggin An Yeon Seok Seo Jin Dong Kim Hyung Joon Yim Bora Keum Yong Sik Kim Yoon Tae Jeen Hong Sik Lee Hoon Jai Chun Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,47: | 19 |
| 7 | Connection between inflammation and carcinogenesis in gastrointestinal tract: Focus on TGF-β signaling显示文摘Inflammation is a primary defense process against various extracellular stimuli,such as viruses,pathogens,foods,and environmental pollutants.When cells respond to stimuli for short periods of time,it results in acute or physiological inflammation.However,if the stimulation is sustained for longer time or a pathological state occurs,it is known as chronic or pathological inflammation.Several studies have shown that tumorigenesis in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is closely associated with chronic inflammation,for which abnormal cellular alterations that accompany chronic inflammation such as oxidative stresses,gene mutations,epigenetic changes,and inflammatory cytokines,are shared with carcinogenic processes,which forms a critical cross-link between chronic inflammation and carcinogenesis.Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β is a multi-potent cytokine that plays an important role in regulation of cell growth,apoptosis and differentiation.Most importantly,TGF-β is a strong anti-inflammatory cytokine that regulates the development of effector cells.TGF-β has a suppressive effect on carcinogenesis under normal conditions by inhibiting abnormal cell growth,but on the other hand,many GI cancers originate from uncontrolled cell growth and differentiation by genetic loss of TGF-β signaling molecules or perturbation of TGF-β adaptors.Once a tumor has developed,TGF-β exerts a promoting effect on the tumor itself and stromal cells to enhance cell growth,alter the responsiveness of tumor cells to stimulate invasion and metastasis,and inhibited immune surveillance.Therefore,novel development of therapeutic agents to inhibit TGF-β-induced progression of tumor and to retain its growth inhibitory activities,in addition to anti-inflammatory actions,could be useful in oncology.In this review,we discuss the role of TGF-β in inflammation and carcinogenesis of the GI tract related to abnormal TGF-β signaling. | Suntaek Hong Ho-Jae Lee Seong Jin Kim Ki-Baik Hahm | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,17: | 18 |
| 8 | The dynamics of the piglet gut microbiome during the weaning transition in association with health and nutrition显示文摘Background: Understanding the composition of the microbial community and its functional capacity during weaning is important for pig production as bacteria play important roles in the pig's health and growth performance. However,limited information is available regarding the composition and function of the gut microbiome of piglets in early-life.Therefore, we performed 16 S rRNA gene and whole metagenome shotgun sequencing of DNA from fecal samples from healthy piglets during weaning to measure microbiome shifts, and to identify the potential contribution of the early-life microbiota in shaping piglet health with a focus on microbial stress responses, carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism.Results: The analysis of 16 S rR NA genes and whole metagenome shotgun sequencing revealed significant compositional and functional differences between the fecal microbiome in nursing and weaned piglets. The fecal microbiome of the nursing piglets showed higher relative abundance of bacteria in the genus Bacteroides with abundant gene families related to the utilization of lactose and galactose. Prevotel a and Lactobacil us were enriched in weaned piglets with an enrichment for the gene families associated with carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. In addition, an analysis of the functional capacity of the fecal microbiome showed higher abundances of genes associated with heat shock and oxidative stress in the metagenome of weaned piglets compared to nursing piglets.Conclusions: Overal, our data show that microbial shifts and changes in functional capacities of the piglet fecal microbiome resulted in potential reductions in the effects of stress, including dietary changes that occur during weaning.These results provide us with new insights into the piglet gut microbiome that contributes to the growth of the animal. | Robin B.Guevarra Sang Hyun Hong Jin Ho Cho Bo-Ra Kim Jiwon Shin Jun Hyung Lee Bit Na Kang Young Hwa Kim Suphot Wattanaphansak Richard E.Isaacson Minho Song Hyeun Bum Kim | 2018 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2018,9,4: | 16 |
| 9 | Tooth regeneration: a revolution in stomatology and evolution in regenerative medicine显示文摘A tooth is a complex biological organ and consists of multiple tissues including the enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp. Tooth loss is the most common organ failure. Can a tooth be regenerated? Can adult stem cells be orchestrated to regenerate tooth structures such as the enamel, dentin, cementum and dental pulp, or even an entire tooth? If not, what are the therapeutically viable sources of stem cells for tooth regeneration? Do stem cells necessarily need to be taken out of the body, and manipulated ex vivo before they are transplanted for tooth regeneration? How can regenerated teeth be economically competitive with dental implants? Would it be possible to make regenerated teeth affordable by a large segment of the population worldwide? This review article explores existing and visionary approaches that address some of the above-mentioned questions. Tooth regeneration represents a revolution in stomatology as a shift in the paradigm from repair to regeneration: repair is by metal or artificial materials whereas regeneration is by biological restoration. Tooth regeneration is an extension of the concepts in the broad field of regenerative medicine to restore a tissue defect to its original form and function by biological substitutes. | Sibel Yildirim Susan Y.

| 11 | Colonic J-pouch anal anastomosis after ultralow anterior resection with upper sphincter excision for low-lying rectal cancer显示文摘AIM: There is some evidence of functional superiority of colonic J-pouch over straight coloanal anastomosis (CAA)in ultralow anterior resection (ULAR) or intersphincteric resection. On the assumption that colonic J-pouch anal anastomosis is superior to straight CAA in ULAR with upper sphincter excision (USE: excision of the upper part of the internal sphincter) for low-lying rectal cancer, we compare functional outcome of colonic J-pouch vs the straight CAA.METHODS: Fifty patients of one hundred and thirty-three rectal cancer patients in whom lower margin of the tumors were located between 3 and 5 cm from the anal verge received ULAR including USE from September 1998 to January 2002. Patients were randomized for reconstruction using either a straight (n = 26) or a colonic J-pouch anastomosis (n = 24) with a temporary diverting-loop ileostomy. All patients were followed-up prospectively by a standardized questionnaire [Fecal Inco-ntinence Severity Index (FISI) scores and Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life (FIQL) scales].RESULTS: We found that, compared to straight anastomosis patients, the frequency of defecation was significantly lower in J-pouch anastomosis patients for 10 mo afterileostomy takedown. The FISI scores and FIQL scales were significantly better in J-pouch patients than in straight patients at both 3 and 12 mo after ileostomy takedown.Furthermore, we found that FISI scores highly correlated with FIQL scales.CONCLUSION: This study indicates that colonic J-pouch anal anastomosis decreases the severity of fecal incontinence and improves the quality of life for 10 mo after ileostomy takedown in patients undergoing ULAR with USE forlow-lying rectal cancer. | Jae-Gahb Park Min Ro Lee Seok-Byung Lim Chang Won Hong Sang Nam Yoon Sung-Bum Kang Seung Chul Heo Seung-Yong Jeong Kyu Joo Park | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,17: | 15 |
| 12 | Comparative study of chitosan/fibroin–hydroxyapatite and collagen membranes for guided bone regeneration in rat calvarial defects: micro-computed tomography analysis显示文摘This study aimed to utilize micro-computed tomography(micro-CT)analysis to compare new bone formation in rat calvarial defects using chitosan/fibroin–hydroxyapatite(CFB–HAP)or collagen(Bio-Gide)membranes.Fifty-four(54)rats were studied.A circular bony defect(8 mm diameter)was formed in the centre of the calvaria using a trephine bur.The CFB–HAP membrane was prepared by thermally induced phase separation.In the experimental group(n518),the CFB–HAP membrane was used to cover the bony defect,and in the control group(n518),a resorbable collagen membrane(Bio-Gide)was used.In the negative control group(n518),no membrane was used.In each group,six animals were euthanized at 2,4 and 8 weeks after surgery.The specimens were then analysed using micro-CT.There were significant differences in bone volume(BV)and bone mineral density(BMD)(P,0.05)between the negative control group and the membrane groups.However,there were no significant differences between the CFB–HAP group and the collagen group.We concluded that the CFB–HAP membrane has significant potential as a guided bone regeneration(GBR)membrane. | Jae Min Song Sang Hun Shin Yong Deok Kim Jae Yeol Lee Young Jae Baek Sang Yong Yoon Hong Sung Kim | 2014 | International Journal of Oral Science2014,6,2: | 15 |
| 13 | NEURAL NETWORK MODELING FOR ESTIMATION OF SCOUR DEPTH AROUND BRIDGE PIERS显示文摘It is essential to predict the scour depth around bridge piers for hydraulic engineers involved in the economical design of bridge pier foundation. Conventional investigations have long been of the opinion that empirical scour prediction equations based on laboratory data over predict scour depths. In this article, the Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPN) was applied to predict the scour depth in order to overcome the problem of exclusive and the nonlinear relationships. The observations obtained from thirteen states in USA was verified by the present model. From the comparison with conventional experimental methods, it can be found that the scour depth around bridge piers can be efficiently predicted using the BPN. | LEE T. L. JENG D. S. ZHANG G. H.

| 14 | Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) induces G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis in human hepatoma HepG2 cells显示文摘AIM: To investigate the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) water extract on human hepatoma cell lines,HepG2 and Hep3B cells. METHODS: The cytotoxicity of Chaga extract was screened by 3-4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Morphological observation,flow cytometry analysis,Western blot were employed to elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of Chaga extract. RESULTS: HepG2 cells were more sensitive to Chaga extract than Hep3B cells,as demonstrated by markedly reduced cell viability. Chaga extract inhibited the cell growth in a dose-dependent manner,which was accompanied with G0/G1-phase arrest and apoptotic cell death. In addition,G0/G1 arrest in the cell cycle was closely associated with down-regulation of p53,pRb,p27,cyclins D1,D2,E,cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) 2,Cdk4,and Cdk6 expression. CONCLUSION: Chaga mushroom may provide a new therapeutic option,as a potential anticancer agent,in the treatment of hepatoma. | Myung-Ja Youn Jin-Kyung Kim Seong-Yeol Park Yunha Kim Se-Jin Kim Jin Seok Lee Kyu Yun Chai Hye-Jung Kim Ming-Xun Cui Hong Seob So Ki-Young Kim Raekil Park | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,4: | 13 |
| 15 | Neonatal gastric perforation: A single center experience显示文摘AIM: To determine the etiology and prognostic factors for neonatal gastric perforation(NGP), a rare but life-threatening disease.METHODS: Between 1980 and 2011, nine patients un-derwent surgical intervention for NGP at Seoul National University Children's Hospital. The characteristics and prognosis of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS: Among the nine patients, three(33.3%) were preterm babies and five(55.5%) had associated anomalies, which included diaphragmatic eventration(n = 2), congenital diaphragmatic hernia, esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula, and antral web. Three(33.3%) patients were born before 1990 and three(33.3%) had a birth weight < 2500 g. Pneumo-peritoneum was found on preoperative images in six(66.7%) patients, and incidentally in the other three(33.3%) patients. Surgery was performed within 24 h after the onset of symptoms in seven(77.8%) patients. The overall mortality rate was 22.2%(2/9). The time between symptoms and surgical intervention was the only prognostic factor for survival, whereas premature birth and birth weight were not.CONCLUSION: Early detection and advances in neo-natal intensive care may improve the prognosis of NGP. | Jeik Byun Hyun Young Kim Seung Yeon Noh Soo Hong Kim Sung Eun Jung Seong Cheol Lee Kwi Won Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2014,6,8: | 13 |
| 16 | Prognostic value of inflammation-based markers in patients with pancreatic cancer administered gemcitabine and erlotinib显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the value of systemic inflammationbased markers as prognostic factors for advanced pancreatic cancer(PC). METHODS: Data from 82 patients who underwent combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and erlotinib for PC from 2011 to 2014 were collected retrospectively. Data that included the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the C-reactive protein(CRP)-to-albumin(CRP/Alb) ratio were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS). RESULTS: The univariate analysis demonstrated the prognostic value of the NLR(P = 0.049) and the CRP/Alb ratio(P = 0.047) in relation to PFS, and a positiverelationship between an increase in inflammation-based markers and a poor prognosis in relation to OS. The multivariate analysis determined that an increased NLR(hazard ratio = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.33-5.75, P = 0.007) is an independent prognostic factor for poor OS. There was no association between the PLR and the patients' prognoses in those who had received chemotherapy that comprised gemcitabine and erlotinib in combination. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test determined significantly worse outcomes in relation to PFS and OS in patients with an NLR > 5 or a CRP/Alb ratio > 5.CONCLUSION: Systemic inflammation-based markers, including increases in the NLR and the CRP/Alb ratio, may be useful for predicting PC prognoses. | Jae Min Lee Hong Sik Lee Jong Jin Hyun Hyuk Soon Choi Eun Sun Kim Bora Keum Yeon Seok Seo Yoon Tae Jeen Hoon Jai Chun Soon Ho Um Chang Duck Kim | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,7: | 12 |
| 17 | Pulmonary metastasectomy for colorectal cancer: How many nodules, how many times?显示文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the most common cancers worldwide,with 5%-15%of CRC patients eventually developing lung metastasis(LM).Despite doubts about the role of locoregional therapy in the management of systemic disease,many surgeons have performed pulmonary metastasectomy(PM)for CRC in properly selected patients.However,the use of pulmonary metastasectomy remains controversial due to the lack of randomized controlled studies.This article reviews the results of surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases for CRC,focusing on(1)current treatment guidelines and surgical techniques of PM in patients with LM from CRC;(2)outcomes of PM and its prognostic factors;and(3)controversial issues in PM,focusing on repeated metastasectomy,bilateral multiple metas-tases,and combined liver and lung metastasectomy. | Hong Kwan Kim Jong Ho Cho Ho Yun Lee Jeeyun Lee Jhingook Kim | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,20: | 12 |
| 18 | Effect of Endothelial Microparticles Induced by Hypoxia on Migration and Angiogenesis of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells by Delivering MicroRNA-19b显示文摘Background:Microparticles (MPs) are small extracellular plasma membrane particles shed by activated and apoptotic cells,which are involved in the development of atherosclerosis.Our previous study found that microRNA (miR)-19b encapsulated within endothelial MPs (EMPs) may contribute to the upregulation of circulating miR-19b in unstable angina patients.Hypoxia is involved in atherosclerosis as a critical pathological stimulus.However,it still remains unclear whether the increase ofmiR-19b levels in EMPs is related to hypoxia and if the effect of miR-19b-wrapped within EMPs-stimulates hypoxia on vascular endothelial cells.This study aimed to explore the changes of miR-19b in EMPs induced by hypoxia as well as their effects on endothelial cells.Methods:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured in vitro and arranged to harvest EMPs in two parts:the first part consisted of EMPcontrol and EMPhypoxia and the second part included EMPvehicle,EMPNc mimic,and EMPmiR-19b mimic.Cell migration was detected by scratch migration and transwell chamber migration.Angiogenesis was assessed by tube formation assays.Furthermore,we predicted the target gene of miR-19b by bioinformatics analysis,and luciferase assay was used to verify the targeted gene of miR-19b.Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance.Student's t-test was used when two groups were compared.Results:Compared with EMP l-and EMphypoxia-inhibited migration of cells by scratch migration assay (80.77 ± 1.10 vs.28.37 ± 1.40,P < 0.001) and transwell chamber migration assay (83.00 ± 3.46 vs.235.00 ± 16.52,P < 0.01),the number of tube formations was markedly reduced by 70% in the EMPhypoxia group (P < 0.001) in vitro analysis of HUVECs.Meanwhile,a strong inhibition of migration and tube formation of HUVECs in the presence of miR-19b-enriched EMPmiR-19b mimic was observed.This effect might be due to the delivery of miR-19b in EMPs.Transforming growth factor-β2 (TGFβ2) was predicted to be one of the target genes of miR-19b,and we further confirmed that TGFβ2 was a direct target gene of miR-19b using the luciferase assay.The expression of TGFβ2 in HUVECs was inhibited by treatment with EMPhypoxia and EMPmiR-19b mimic.Conclusions:MiR-19b in EMPs induced by hypoxia could reduce endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis by downregulating TGFβ2 expression,which may have inhibited the progression of atherosclerosis. | Hui-Zhu Liang Su-Fang Li Feng Zhang Man-Yan Wu Chang-Long Li Jun-Xian Song Chongyou Lee Hong Chen | 2018 | Chinese Medical Journal2018,,22: | 11 |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Brain-derived neurotrophic factor mediates macrophage migration inhibitory factor to protect neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation显示文摘Macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)is a chemokine that plays an essential role in immune system function.Previous studies suggested that MIF protects neurons in ischemic conditions.However,few studies are reported on the role of MIF in neurological recovery after ischemic stroke.The purpose of this study is to identify the molecular mechanism of neuroprotection mediated by MIF.Human neuroblastoma cells were incubated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium under oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)for 4 hours and then returned to normal aerobic environment for reperfusion(OGD/R).30 ng/mL MIF recombinant(30 ng/mL)or ISO-1(MIF antagonist;50μM)was administered to human neuroblastoma cells.Then cell cultures were assigned to one of four groups:control,OGD/R,OGD/R with MIF,OGD/R with ISO-1.Cell viability was analyzed using WST-1 assay.Expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP2),Caspase-3,Bcl2,and Bax were detected by western blot assay and immunocytochemistry in each group to measure apoptotic activity.WST-1 assay results revealed that compared to the OGD/R group,cell survival rate was significantly higher in the OGD/R with MIF group and lower in the OGD/R with ISO-1 group.Western blot assay and immunocytochemistry results revealed that expression levels of BDNF,Bcl2,and MAP2 were significantly higher,and expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax were significantly lower in the MIF group than in the OGD/R group.Expression levels of BDNF,Bcl2,and MAP2 were significantly lower,and expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax were significantly higher in the ISO-1 group than in the OGD/R group.MIF administration promoted neuronal cell survival and induced high expression levels of BDNF,MAP2,and Bcl2(anti-apoptosis)and low expression levels of Caspase-3 and Bax(pro-apoptosis)in an OGD/R model.These results suggest that MIF administration is effective for inducing expression of BDNF and leads to neuroprotection of neuronal cells against hypoxic injury. | Su Hwan Bae Mi Ran Yoo Ye Yeong Kim In Kyung Hong Mi Hee Kim Seung Hak Lee Dae Yul Kim | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,8: | 11 |
