| 2 | -765G > C COX-2 polymorphism may be a susceptibility marker for gastric adenocarcinoma in patients with atrophy or intestinal metaplasia显示文摘AIM: To investigate the relationship between the -765G > C COX-2 polymorphism and the development of different gastric lesions: atrophy or intestinal metaplasia and gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed involving 320 Portuguese individuals (210 without evidence of neoplastic disease, 73 patients with gastric adenocarcinomas and 37 with atrophy or intestinal metaplasia) using a PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS: -765C allele was overrepresented in the patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (51%) when compared either with the control group (38%) or patients with atrophy or intestinal metaplasia (27%). Callele was found to be very common in our population (0.22), and a multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed nearly 3-fold increased risk for the progression to gastric adenocarcinoma in patients with atrophy or intestinal metaplasia carrying the -765C allele (OR = 2.67, 95% CI = 1.03-6.93; P = 0.04).considered as another susceptibility marker for gastric adenocarcinoma development in patients with atrophy or intestinal metaplasia. | Carina Pereira Hugo Sousa Paula Ferreira Maria Fragoso Luís Moreira-Dias Carlos Lopes Rui Medeiros Mário Dinis-Ribeiro | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,34: | 16 |

| 4 | No evidence of HPV DNA in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a population of Southern Brazil显示文摘AIM:To investigate the association between human papillomavirus(HPV)and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)in southern Brazil.METHODS:We studied 189 esophageal samples from125 patients from three different groups:(1)102 biopsies from 51 patients with ESCC,with one sample from the tumor and another from normal esophageal mucosa distant from the tumor;(2)50 esophageal biopsies from 37 patients with a previous diagnosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC);and(3)37 biopsies from esophageal mucosa with normal appearance from 37 dyspeptic patients,not exposed to smoking or alcohol consumption.Nested-polymerase chain reaction(PCR)with the MY09/11 and GP5/6 L1primers was used to detect HPV L1 in samples fixed in formalin and stored in paraffin blocks.All PCR reactions were performed with a positive control(cervicovaginal samples),with a negative control(Human Genomic DNA)and with a blank reaction containing all reagents except DNA.We took extreme care to prevent DNA contamination in sample collection,processing,and testing.RESULTS:The histological biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of ESCC in 52 samples(51 from ESCC group and 1 from the HNSCC group)and classified as well differentiated(12/52,23.1%),moderately differentiated(27/52,51.9%)or poorly differentiated(7/52,13.5%).One hundred twenty-eight esophageal biopsies were considered normal(51 from the ESCC group,42 from the HNSCC group and 35 from dyspeptic patients).Nine had esophagitis(7 from the HNSCC and 2 from dyspeptic patients).Of a total of 189 samples,only 6 samples had insufficient material for PCR analysis:1 from mucosa distant from the tumor in a patient with ESCC,3from patients with HNSCC and 2 from patients without cancer.In 183 samples(96.8%)GAPDH,G3PDH and/orβ-globin were amplified,thus indicating the adequacy of the DNA in those samples.HPV DNA was negative in all the 183 samples tested:52 with ESCC,9 with esophagitis and 122 with normal esophageal mucosa.CONCLUSION:There was no evidence of HPV infection in different ESCC from southern Brazil. | Luís Carlos Moreira Antunes Joo Carlos Prolla Antonio de Barros Lopes Marta Pires da Rocha Renato Borges Fagundes | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,39: | 4 |
| 5 | Histological Study of the Male Internal Genital Tract of Dwarf Caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus Cuvier, 1807)显示文摘Brazil has six species of crocodiles belonging to the subfamily Caimaninae,one of them being Paleosuchus palpebrosus(Cuvier,1807)(dwarf caiman).It is considered one of the smallest crocodilian species,and is sensitive to environmental changes.The anatomical and histological descriptions of the reproductive tract of reptiles are scarce,so it is important to study the morphology of the genital tract of caimans for a better understanding of the reproduction of these species.We performed the histological analysis of the testis,epididymis,and deferent duct of the dwarf caiman Paleosuchus palpebrosus.Structures of the genital tract were collected from euthanized animals.Testes,epididymis,and deferent ducts were separated and prepared according to routine histological techniques for morphological characterization.The testis is covered by a capsule of fibromuscular connective tissue.Spermatogonia are observed as spherical cells with round nuclei and loose chromatin,and primary spermatocytes show dark cytoplasm,round nuclei,and pale chromatin.Spermatids are seen as cylindrical or filamentous cells with nuclei that may be highly condensed,ranging from round to oval.The epididymis is observed as a coiled duct lined by a tall cuboidal epithelium with stereocilia;the deferent duct shows ciliated pseudostratified cylindrical epithelium.The adrenal gland is found in the dorsomedial portion of the testis.The histological structure of the reproductive tract of Paleosuchus palpebrosus is similar to that of other reptiles’species. | Teresinha Inês Assumpção Adrielly Julien Silva Lopes Lilja Fromme AndréLuís Quagliatto Santos | 2021 | Journal of Zoological Research2021,3,3: | 0 |
| 6 | Ophthalmic adverse drug reactions:A nationwide detection using hospital databases显示文摘AIM: To detect ophthalmic adverse drug reactions(ADRs), that occurred in Portugal from 2000 to 2009, through the utilization of administrative hospital databases. We also intended to compare the results of this methodology with spontaneous reporting.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective nationwide study using hospital administrative databases, which included all inpatients and outpatients in all public hospitals in Portugal, from 2000 to 2009. We used International Classification of Diseases- 9th Revision- Clinical Modification(ICD-9-CM) coding data that allowed the detection of ADRs. We used WHO's definition for ADR. We searched all of ICD-9-CM terms in Ophthalmology for codes that included 'drug-induced', 'iatrogenic', 'toxic' and all other that could signal an ADR, such as '362.55- toxic maculopathy' or '365.03- steroid responders', and also 'E' codes(codes from E930 to E949.9, that exclude intoxications and errors).RESULTS: From 11944725 hospitalizations or ambulatory episodes within that period of time, we identified 1524 probable ophthalmic ADRs(corresponding to a frequency of 1.28 per 10000 episodes) and an additional 100 possible ophthalmic ADRs. We used only 4 person-hours in the application of this methodology. A total of 113 spontaneous reports arose from ophthalmic ADRs from 2000 to 2009 in Portugal(frequency of 0.095 per 10000 episodes).To our knowledge, this was the first estimate of the frequency of ophthalmic ADRs through the use of databases, and the first nationwide estimate of ophthalmic ADRs, in Portugal. We identified 1524 probable ADRs and 100 possible ADRs. CONCLUSION: This database methodology adapted for Ophthalmology may represent a new approach for the detection of ophthalmic ADRs, since these codes exist in the ICD-9-CM classification. Its performance was clearly superior to spontaneous reporting. | Ana Miguel Filipe Henriques Bernardo Marques Joana Marques Alberto Freitas Fernando Lopes Luís Azevedo Altamiro Costa Pereira | 2013 | World Journal of Meta-Analysis2013,1,2: | 0 |

| 9 | Myasthenia gravis as a form of clinical presentation of thymic carcinoma显示文摘Thymic carcinomas are rare tumors of the thymus arising in the thymic epithelium. They represent less than 1% of thymic malignancies. They often present with an advanced disease and metastasize to regional lymph nodes and distant sites. They have a worse prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 30%-50%, while thymomas are much less invasive and have a 5-year survival of approximately 78%. We report a rare form of clinical presentation of a thymic carcinoma in which the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis was the cornerstone of the diagnosis of cancer. Surgery is considered the salvage treatment when possible. Radiotherapy is a second choice of salvage treatment, when possible depending on its localization and relation to nearby structures such as vascular structures. Molecular target therapy is a more directed, more expensive but less toxic treatment. Further studies need to be carried out for its approval worldwide, outside clinical trials. | Joana Espiga de Macedo Sílvia Lopes Helena Gouveia Sofia Oliveira Joo Cunha Ana Luísa Faria Sónia Rego Albino Oliveira Luís Krug Emílio Macias Bravo | 2015 | World Journal of Respirology2015,5,2: | 0 |
| 10 | High prevalence of occult hepatitis C infection in predialysis patients显示文摘BACKGROUND Occult hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection(OCI) may be associated with extrahepatic diseases and it is known that the patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) who are on hemodialysis(HD) present a higher prevalence of this type of infection than the general population, with a worse clinical outcome.However, there are no data in the literature to assess the presence of OCI in patients prior to the initiation of renal replacement therapy(RRT). Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and epidemiological aspects of OCI in patients with Predialysis CKD. We hypothesize that this infection could occur before RRT initiation.AIM To research the status in predialysis patients when HD patients have high prevalence of OCI.METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2015 and 2017. Adults with creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min·1.73 m^2(predialysis patients) were recruited to the study. Pregnant and postpartum women, patients with glomerulopathies,and patients showing positivity for serological markers of hepatitis B virus(HBV), HCV or human immunodeficiency virus infection were excluded. Patients were diagnosed with OCI according to test results of anti-HCV antibody negativity and HCV RNA positivity in either ultracentrifuged serum or, if serumnegative, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.RESULTS Among the 91 total patients included in the study, the prevalence of OCI was 16.5%. Among these 15 total OCI patients, 1 was diagnosed by 14 ultracentrifuged serum results and 14 were diagnosed by peripheral blood mononuclear cell results. Compared to the non-OCI group, the OCI patients presented higher frequency of older age(P = 0.002), patients with CKD of mixed etiology(P = 0.019), and patients with markers of previous HBV infection(i.e.,combined positivity for anti-hepatitis B core protein antibody and anti-hepatitis B surface protein antibody)(P = 0.001).CONCLUSION Among predialysis patients, OCI involved the elderly, patients with CKD of mixed etiology, and patients with previous HBV infection. | Luís Henrique Bezerra Cavalcanti Sette Edmundo Pessoa de Almeida Lopes Nathália Campello Guedes dos Anjos Lucila Maria Valente Sávio Augusto Vieira de Oliveira Norma Lucena-Silva | 2019 | World Journal of Hepatology2019,11,1: | 0 |
| 11 | Needle knife fstulotomy in flat and diverticular papillae:Is it time for redemption?显示文摘Background: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy( ESGE) recommends needle-knife fstulotomy(NKF) as the preferred precut technique in cases when standard cannulation techniques fail. Despite scarce scientifc evidence, flat and diverticular papillae are thought not to be ideal for NKF, as they are associated with poor outcomes. The present study aimed to determine the outcomes of the use of NKF in relation to flat and intradiverticular papillae. Methods: This prospective multicenter study enrolled consecutive patients, evidencing na?ve flat(group A, n = 49) or diverticular papilla(group B, n = 28), who underwent NKF after failure of standard cannulation techniques. Diverticular morphology was subdivided into intradiverticular(group B1, n = 14) and diverticular border papillae(group B2, n = 14), using a previously validated endoscopic classifcation of the major papilla. The success of biliary cannulation at initial endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP), overall biliary cannulation, overall cannulation time, and the rate of adverse events were assessed in the study. Results: The initial cannulation rates were 93.9%, 64.3% and 71.4% for group A, B1, and B2, respectively( P = 0.005);overall cannulation rates after a second ERCP were 98.0%, 92.9% and 85.7%, respectively( P = 0.134). Adverse events occurred in 11.7% of patients, with post-ERCP pancreatitis(PEP) being the most common adverse event(10.4%). Although there was a trend towards a higher incidence of PEP in flat papillae, univariate and multivariate analyses did not show any signifcant relationship between pancreatitis and trainee involvement, papillary morphology, nor overall cannulation time. Conclusions: Although flat papillae are associated with high success rates of biliary cannulation using NKF, the rate of PEP is not negligible. NKF is feasible in diverticular papillae, but it is associated with a modest success rate in the initial ERCP. | João Fernandes Jorge Canena Marta Moreira Gonçalo Alexandrino Luísa Figueiredo Tarcísio Araújo Luís Lourenço David Horta Luís Lopes | 2022 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2022,21,2: | 0 |
| 12 | Evaluation of biodegradable electric conductive tube-guides and mesenchymal stem cells显示文摘AIM: To study the therapeutic effect of three tubeguides with electrical conductivity associated to mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) on neuro-muscular regeneration after neurotmesis.METHODS: Rats with 10-mm gap nerve injury were tested using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), PVA-carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and MSCs, and PVA-polypyrrole(PPy). The regenerated nerves and tibialis anterior muscles were processed for stereological studies after 20 wk. The functional recovery was assessed serially for gait biomechanical analysis, by extensor postural thrust, sciatic functional index and static sciatic functionalindex(SSI), and by withdrawal reflex latency(WRL). In vitro studies included cytocompatibility, flow cytometry, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and karyotype analysis of the MSCs. Histopathology of lung, liver, kidneys, and regional lymph nodes ensured the biomaterials biocompatibility. RESULTS: SSI remained negative throughout and independently from treatment. Differences between treted groups in the severity of changes in WRL existed, showing a faster regeneration for PVA-CNTs-MSCs(P < 0.05). At toe-off, less acute ankle joint angles were seen for PVA-CNTs-MSCs group(P = 0.051) suggesting improved ankle muscles function during the push off phase of the gait cycle. In PVA-PPy and PVA-CNTs groups, there was a 25% and 42% increase of average fiber area and a 13% and 21% increase of the 'minimal Feret's diameter' respectively. Stereological analysis disclosed a significantly(P < 0.05) increased myelin thickness(M), ratio myelin thickness/axon diameter(M/d) and ratio axon diameter/fiber diameter(d/D; g-ratio) in PVA-CNT-MSCs group(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Results revealed that treatment with MSCs and PVA-CNTs tube-guides induced better nerve fiber regeneration. Functional and kinematics analysis revealed positive synergistic effects brought by MSCs and PVA-CNTs. The PVA-CNTs and PVA-PPy are promising scaffolds with electric conductive properties, bio- and cytocompatible that might prevent the secondary neurogenic muscular atrophy by improving the reestablishment of the neuro-muscular junction. | Jorge Ribeiro Tiago Pereira Ana Rita Caseiro Paulo Armada-da-Silva Isabel Pires Justina Prada Irina Amorim Sandra Amado Miguel Franca Carolina Goncalves Maria Ascensao Lopes Jose Domingos Santos Dina Morais Silva Stefano Geuna Ana Lúcia Luís Ana Colette Maurício | 2015 | World Journal of Stem Cells2015,7,6: | 2 |

| 15 | Valorization of semi-solid by-product from distillation of cellulosic ethanol into blends for heating and power显示文摘Burning down on semi-solid by-product from distillation of cellulosic ethanol to power upstream steps of its manufacturing is usual.However,this feedstock is homogenous in size and shape,hygroscopic and poorly energetic.These disadvantages make its re-use in the industrial plant very complex.Conversion of this agro-residue into high-performance blends for heating and power is,accordingly,the scientific point of this study.The pilot-scale manufacturing of composite pellets consisted of systematically pressing the residue with sugarcane bagasse at the mass ratios of 1:4,2:4,and 3:4 on an automatic pelletizer machine at 200 MPa and 125℃.The process of compaction lasted for 90 s.Durability and energy density,both increased significantly,from 95.85%to 99.55%and from 27.95 GJ m^(−3) to 32.20 GJ m^(−3) with blending at 3:4.Practically,the semi-solid by-product considerably improved the feeding,thus,enabling the layers of particles to go smoothly through the channel-forming die of the machine.Thereby,blends became stiffer and denser than pellets purely consisting of sugarcane bagasse.Preliminary evidence of the process of pelleting capable of highly valorizing the semi-solid by-product from distillation of cellulosic bioethanol into mechanically stable and energetically effective hybrid fuel grade biosolids exist.The major findings of this paper should be of great relevance to ensure safe and effective transportation and storage of biomass in indoor facili-ties where the risk for the generation of dust and fines and the subsequent off-gassing and self-firing is high.Furthermore,pelletization may optimize the co-generation of heat and steam at the large-scale bioethanol station. | Bruno Rafael de Almeida Moreira Victor Hugo Cruz Matheus Luís Oliveira Cunha Nathaly Proença Lopes Anderson Chagas Magalhães Celso Tadao Miasaki JoséClaudio Caraschi Ronaldo da Silva Viana | 2021 | Waste Disposal and Sustainable Energy2021,3,1: | 1 |
| 16 | Hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality for inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil显示文摘BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is associated with complications,frequent hospitalizations,surgery and death.The introduction of biologic drugs into the therapeutic arsenal in the last two decades,combined with an expansion of immunosuppressant therapy,has changed IBD management and may have altered the profile of hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality(IHM)due to IBD.AIM To describe hospitalizations from 2008 to 2018 and to analyze IHM from 1998 to 2017 for IBD in Brazil.METHODS This observational,retrospective,ecological study used secondary data on hospitalizations for IBD in Brazil for 2008-2018 to describe hospitalizations and for 1998-2017 to analyze IHM.Hospitalization data were obtained from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian Unified Health System and population data from demographic censuses.The following variables were analyzed:Number of deaths and hospitalizations,length of hospital stay,financial costs of hospitalization,sex,age,ethnicity and type of hospital admission.RESULTS There was a reduction in the number of IBD hospitalizations,from 6975 admissions in 1998 to 4113 in 2017(trend:y=-0.1682x+342.8;R^(2)=0.8197;P<0.0001).The hospitalization rate also decreased,from 3.60/100000 in 2000 to 2.17 in 2010.IHM rates varied during the 20-year period,between 2.06 in 2017 and 3.64 in 2007,and did not follow a linear trend(y=-0.0005049x+2.617;R^(2)=0,00006;P=0.9741).IHM rates also varied between regions,increasing in all but the southeast,which showed a decreasing trend(y=-0.1122x+4.427;R^(2)=0,728;P<0.0001).The Southeast region accounted for 44.29%of all hospitalizations.The Northeast region had the highest IHM rate(2.86 deaths/100 admissions),with an increasing trend(y=0.1105x+1.110;R^(2)=0.6265;P<0.0001),but the lowest hospitalization rate(1.15).The Midwest and South regions had the highest hospitalization rates(3.27 and 3.17,respectively).A higher IHM rate was observed for nonelective admissions(2.88),which accounted for 81%of IBD hospitalizations.The total cost of IBD hospitalizations in 2017 exhibited an increase of 37.5%compared to 2008.CONCLUSION There has been a notable reduction in the number of hospitalizations for IBD in Brazil over 20 years.IHM rates varied and did not follow a linear trend. | Ana Luiza Vilar Guedes Amanda Lopes Lorentz Larissa Fernandes de Almeida Rios Rios Beatriz Camara Freitas Adriano Gutemberg Neves Dias Ana Luísa Eckhard Uhlein Felipe Oliveira Vieira Neto Jobson Felipe Soares Jesus Túlio de SáNovaes Torres Raquel Rocha Vitor D Andrade Genoile Oliveira Santana | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2022,13,1: | 0 |
| 17 | Chronic myeloid leukemia-from the Philadelphia chromosome to specific target drugs:A literature review显示文摘Chronic myeloid leukemia(CML)is a myeloproliferative neoplasm and was the first neoplastic disease associated with a well-defined genotypic anomaly―the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome.The advances in cytogenetic and molecular assays are of great importance to the diagnosis,prognosis,treatment,and monitoring of CML.The discovery of the breakpoint cluster region(BCR)-Abelson murine leukemia(ABL)1 fusion oncogene has revolutionized the treatment of CML patients by allowing the development of targeted drugs that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the BCR-ABL oncoprotein.Tyrosine kinase inhibitors(known as TKIs)are the standard therapy for CML and greatly increase the survival rates,despite adverse effects and the odds of residual disease after discontinuation of treatment.As therapeutic alternatives,the subsequent TKIs lead to faster and deeper molecular remissions;however,with the emergence of resistance to these drugs,immunotherapy appears as an alternative,which may have a cure potential in these patients.Against this background,this article aims at providing an overview on CML clinical management and a summary on the main targeted drugs available in that context. | Mariana Miranda Sampaio Maria Luísa Cordeiro Santos Hanna Santos Marques Vinícius Lima de Souza Gonçalves Glauber Rocha Lima Araújo Luana Weber Lopes Jonathan Santos Apolonio Camilo Santana Silva Luana Kauany de SáSantos Beatriz Rocha Cuzzuol Quézia Estéfani Silva Guimarães Mariana Novaes Santos Breno Bittencourt de Brito Filipe Antônio França da Silva Márcio Vasconcelos Oliveira Cláudio Lima Souza Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2021,12,2: | 3 |
| 18 | Accuracy of gestalt perception of acute chest pain in predicting coronary artery disease显示文摘AIM To test accuracy and reproducibility of gestalt to predict obstructive coronary artery disease(CAD)in patients with acute chest pain.METHODS We studied individuals who were consecutively admitted to our Chest Pain Unit.At admission,investigators performed a standardized interview and recorded14 chest pain features.Based on these features,a cardiologist who was blind to other clinical characteristics made unstructured judgment of CAD probability,both numerically and categorically.As the reference standard for testing the accuracy of gestalt,angiography was required to rule-in CAD,while either angiography or non-invasive test could be used to rule-out.In order to assess reproducibility,a second cardiologist did the same procedure.RESULTS In a sample of 330 patients,the prevalence of obstructive CAD was 48%.Gestalt’s numerical probability was associated with CAD,but the area under the curve of0.61(95%CI:0.55-0.67)indicated low level of accuracy.Accordingly,categorical definition of typical chest pain had a sensitivity of 48%(95%CI:40%-55%)and specificity of 66%(95%CI:59%-73%),yielding a negligible positive likelihood ratio of 1.4(95%CI:0.65-2.0)and negative likelihood ratio of 0.79(95%CI:0.62-1.02).Agreement between the two cardiologists was poor in the numerical classification(95%limits of agreement=-71%to 51%)and categorical definition of typical pain(Kappa=0.29;95%CI:0.21-0.37).CONCLUSION Clinical judgment based on a combination of chest pain features is neither accurate nor reproducible in predicting obstructive CAD in the acute setting. | Cláudio Marcelo Bittencourt das Virgens Laudenor Lemos Jr Márcia Noya-Rabelo Manuela Campelo Carvalhal Antonio Maurício dos Santos Cerqueira Junior Fernanda Oliveira de Andrade Lopes Nicole Cruz de Sá Jéssica Gonzalez Suerdieck Thiago Menezes Barbosa de Souza Vitor Calixto de Almeida Correia Gabriella Sant’Ana Sodré AndréBarcelos da Silva Felipe Kalil Beirao Alexandre Felipe Rodrigues Marques Ferreira Luís Cláudio Lemos Correia | 2017 | World Journal of Cardiology2017,9,3: | 0 |
