| 1 | Biomarkers and subtypes of deranged lipid metabolism in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a heterogeneous and complex disease that is imprecisely diagnosed by liver biopsy.NAFLD covers a spectrum that ranges from simple steatosis,nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)with varying degrees of fibrosis,to cirrhosis,which is a major risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma.Lifestyle and eating habit changes during the last century have made NAFLD the most common liver disease linked to obesity,type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia,with a global prevalence of 25%.NAFLD arises when the uptake of fatty acids(FA)and triglycerides(TG)from circulation and de novo lipogenesis saturate the rate of FAβ-oxidation and verylow density lipoprotein(VLDL)-TG export.Deranged lipid metabolism is also associated with NAFLD progression from steatosis to NASH,and therefore,alterations in liver and serum lipidomic signatures are good indicators of the disease’s development and progression.This review focuses on the importance of the classification of NAFLD patients into different subtypes,corresponding to the main alteration(s)in the major pathways that regulate FA homeostasis leading,in each case,to the initiation and progression of NASH.This concept also supports the targeted intervention as a key approach to maximize therapeutic efficacy and opens the door to the development of precise NASH treatments. | José M Mato Cristina Alonso Mazen Noureddin Shelly C Lu | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,24: | 19 |
| 2 | Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for gastrointestinal cancer among American veterans显示文摘AIM:To assess the risk of biliary and pancreatic cancers in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) .METHODS:Eligibility for this study included patients with type 2 DM(ICD-9 code 250.0) who were discharged from Department of Veteran Affairs hospitals between 1990 and 2000.Non-matched control patients without DM were selected from the same patient treatment files during the same period.Demographic information included age,sex and race.Secondary diagnoses included known risk factors based on their ICD-9 codes.By multivariate logistic regression,the occurrence of biliary and pancreatic cancer was compared between case subjects with DM and controls without DM.RESULTS:A total of 1172496 case and control subjects were analyzed.The mean age for study and control subjects was 65.8 ± 11.3 and 64.8 ± 12.6 years,respectively.The frequency of pancreatic cancer in subjects with DM was increased(0.9%) in comparison to control subjects(0.3%) with an OR of 3.22(95% CI:3.03-3.42) .The incidence of gallbladder andextrahepatic biliary cancers was increased by twofold in diabetic patients when compared to controls.The OR and 95% CI were 2.20(1.56-3.00) and 2.10(1.61-2.53) ,respectively.CONCLUSION:Our study demonstrated that patients with DM have a threefold increased risk for developing pancreatic cancer and a twofold risk for developing biliary cancer. | M Mazen Jamal Eugene J Yoon Kenneth J Vega Mehrtash Hashemzadeh Kenneth J Chang | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,42: | 10 |
| 3 | Early treatment efficacy of S-adenosylmethionine in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis: A systematic review显示文摘BACKGROUND S-adenosylmethionine(AdoMet)is a metabolically pleiotropic molecule used to treat intrahepatic cholestasis(IHC)and chronic liver diseases.While the efficacy of AdoMet has been demonstrated previously,it has not been systematically investigated within the early weeks of treatment.AIM To systematically review the early treatment efficacy of AdoMet in adult patients with IHC.METHODS Studies reporting the efficacy of intravenous,intramuscular,or oral forms of AdoMet within 8 wk of treatment initiation were considered;three randomized and six non-randomized studies were eligible for inclusion(PROSPERO registration number CRD42018090936).Of the three randomized studies,two were double-blind and placebo-controlled,and one was comparator-controlled with unclear blinding and a relatively high risk of bias.Mean serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),and gamma-glutamyl transferase(γGT)following AdoMet treatment vs placebo,comparator,or baseline were summarized to determine differences in liver enzymes.Changes in patient-reported clinical symptoms of cholestasis were also summarized.RESULTS Both placebo-controlled randomized studies reported significant reductions in serum ALT levels with AdoMet vs placebo within 2 wk.One of these also reported significant ALP reductions,and the other reported significant AST andγGT reductions within 2 wk.The comparator-controlled randomized study,which had a number of notable limitations,reported significant reductions in serum ALT and AST levels with AdoMet vs potassium magnesium aspartate within 4 wk,but not within2 wk.All of the non-randomized studies(4/4)that investigated ALT,AST,ALP and/orγGT reported significant reductions in at least two of these parameters within 2 wk.Of the five studies that evaluated fatigue,reductions were observed within 2 wk in one randomized and two nonrandomized studies.The remaining two non-randomized studies reported improvements in fatigue within 6 and 8 wk.Of the four studies reporting symptoms of depression,two non-randomized studies observed improvements within 2 wk and the other two observed improvements within 17 d and 8 wk.CONCLUSION Data from both randomized and non-randomized studies suggest that AdoMet improves some biochemical liver parameters and symptoms of cholestasis within 2 wk,with further improvements observed in some studies after 4 and 8 wk of treatment. | Mazen Noureddin Suntje Sander-Struckmeier JoséM Mato | 2020 | World Journal of Hepatology2020,12,2: | 8 |
| 4 | Fatty liver in hepatitis C patients post-sustained virological response with direct-acting antivirals显示文摘AIM To determine steatosis and fibrosis prevalence in hepatitis C patients after a sustained virological response achieved with direct-acting antivirals.METHODS Transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter(CAP) was used to assess hepatic steatosis post-sustained virological response(SVR);the CAP technology was not available in the United States at study initiation.Liver stiffness/fibrosis was measured before and 47 wk after treatment completion.Patients with genotype 3 and patients with cirrhosis were excluded.RESULTS One hundred and one patients were included in the study.Post-SVR there were decreases from baseline in alanine aminotransferase(ALT)(63.1 to 17.8 U/L),aspartate aminotransferase(51.8 to 21.5 U/L) and fibrosis score(7.4 to 6.1 k Pa)(P < 0.05).Post-SVR,48 patients(47.5%) had steatosis on CAP;of these,6.25% had advanced fibrosis.Patients with steatosis had higher body mass index(29.0 vs 26.1 kg/m2),glucose(107.8 vs 96.6 mg/d L),ALT(20.4 vs 15.3 mg/d L),CAP score(296.3 vs 212.4 d B/m) and fibrosis score(7.0 vs 5.3 k Pa);P < 0.05.Interestingly,compared to baseline,both patients with and without steatosis had change in fibrosis score post-SVR(7.7 k Pa vs 7.0 k Pa and 7.0 k Pa vs 5.3 k Pa);alternatively,(P < 0.05) and therefore patients with steatosis continued to have clinically significant stiffness(≥ 7 k Pa).CONCLUSION Fatty liver is very common in hepatitis C virus(HCV) patients post-SVR.These patients continue to have elevated mean fibrosis score(≥ 7 k Pa) compared to those without fatty liver;some have advanced fibrosis.Long term follow up is needed to assess steatosis and fibrosis in HCV patients post-SVR. | Mazen Noureddin Micaela M Wong Tsuyoshi Todo Shelly C Lu Arun J Sanyal Edward A Mena | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,11: | 6 |
| 5 | S100A4 in esophageal cancer:Is this the one to blame?显示文摘Metastasis is the main reason for cancer-related death.S100A4 is one of the key molecules involved in this event.Several studies have shown that overexpression of S100A4 in non-metastatic cancer cells can make them become metastatic,and knockdown of S100A4 in metastatic cancer cells can curtail their invasive nature.A study by Chen et al published in the World J Gastroenterol 18(9):915-922,2012 is a typical example.This study showed in vitro and in vivo evidence that S100A4 expression level determines the invasiveness of esophageal squamous carcinoma.Considering the fact that more than half of the cancer-related deaths are caused by malignancies derived from the digestive system and esophageal cancer is the 4th top contributor to this fraction,this study warrants more attention. | Jianyuan Chai M Mazen Jamal | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,30: | 4 |
| 6 | Comparison of reflux esophagitis and its complications between African Americans and non-Hispanic whites显示文摘AIM: To determine the effect of ethnicity on the severity of reflux esophagitis (RE) and its complications. METHODS: A retrospective search of the endoscopy database at the University of Florida Health Science Center/Jacksonville for all cases of reflux esophagitis and its complications from January 1 to March 31, 2001 was performed. Inclusion criteria were endoscopic evidence of esophagitis using the LA classif ication, reflux related complications and self-reported ethnicity. The data obtained included esophagitis grade, presence of a hiatal hernia, esophageal ulcer, stricture and Barrett's esophagus, and endoscopy indication. RESULTS: The search identified 259 patients with RE or its complications, of which 171 were non-Hispanic whites and 88 were African Americans. The mean ages and male/female ratios were similar in the two groups. RE grade, esophageal ulcer, stricture and hiatal hernia frequency were likewise similar in the groups. Barrett's esophagus was present more often in non-Hispanic whites than in African Americans (15.8% vs 4.5%; P < 0.01). Heartburn was a more frequent indication for endoscopy in non-Hispanic whites with erosive esophagitis than in African Americans (28.1% vs 7.9%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Distribution of RE grade and frequency of reflux-related esophageal ulcer, stricture andhiatal hernia are similar in non-Hispanic whites and African Americans. Heartburn was more frequently and nausea/vomiting less frequently reported as the primary endoscopic indication in non-Hispanic whites compared with African Americans with erosive esophagitis or its complications. African Americans have a decreased prevalence of Barrett's esophagus compared with non-Hispanic whites. | Kenneth J Vega Sian Chisholm M Mazen Jamal | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,23: | 4 |
| 7 | Use of the Endocuff during routine colonoscopy examination improves adenoma detection: A meta-analysis显示文摘AIM To perform meta-analysis of the use of Endocuff during average risk screening colonoscopy.METHODS Scopus, Cochrane databases, MEDLINE/Pub Med, and CINAHL were searched in April 2016. Abstracts from Digestive Disease Week, United European Gastroenterology, and the American College of Gastroenterology meeting were also searched from 2004-2015. Studies comparing EC-assisted colonoscopy(EAC) to standard colonoscopy, for any indication, were included in the analysis. The analysis was conducted by using the Mantel-Haenszel or DerS imonian and Laird models with the odds ratio(OR) to assess adenoma detection, cecal intubation rate, and complications performed. RESULTS Nine studies(n = 5624 patients) were included in the analysis. Compared to standard colonoscopy, procedures performed with EC had higher frequencies for adenoma(OR = 1.49, 95%CI: 1.23-1.80; P = 0.03), and sessile serrated adenomas detection(OR = 2.34 95%CI: 1.63-3.36; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in cecal intubation rates between the EACgroup and standard colonoscopy(OR = 1.26, 95%CI: 0.70-2.27, I2 = 0%; P = 0.44). EAC was associated with a higher risk of complications, most commonly being superficial mucosal injury without higher frequency for perforation.CONCLUSION The use of an EC on colonoscopy appears to improve pre-cancerous polyp detection without any difference in cecal intubation rates compared to standard colonoscopy. | Matthew Chin William Karnes M Mazen Jamal John G Lee Robert Lee Jason Samarasena Matthew L Bechtold Douglas L Nguyen | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,43: | 4 |
| 8 | Profiling cellular bioenergetics, glutathione levels, and caspase activities in stomach biopsies of patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms显示文摘AIM: To measure biochemical parameters in stomach biopsies and test their suitability as diagnostic biomarkers for gastritis and precancerous lesions.METHODS: Biopsies were obtained from the stomachs of two groups of patients(n = 40) undergoing fiberoptic endoscopy due to upper gastrointestinal symptoms. In the first group(n = 17), only the corpus region was examined. Biopsies were processed for microscopic examination and measurement of mitochondrial O2 consumption(cellular respiration), cellular adenosine triphosphate(ATP), glutathione(GSH), and caspase activity. In the second group of patients(n = 23), both corpus and antral regions were studied. Some biopsies were processed for microscopic examination, while the others were used for measurements of cellular respiration and GSH level.RESULTS: Microscopic examinations of gastric corpus biopsies from 17 patients revealed normal mucosae in 8 patients, superficial gastritis in 7 patients, and chronic atrophic gastritis in 1 patient. In patients with normal histology, the rate(mean ± SD) of cellular respiration was 0.17 ± 0.02 μmol/L O2 min-1 mg-1, ATP content was 487 ± 493 pmol/mg, and GSH was 469 ± 98 pmol/mg. Caspase activity was detected in 3 out of 8 specimens. The values of ATP and caspase activity were highly variable. The presence of superficial gastritis had insignificant effects on the measured biomarkers. In the patient with atrophic gastritis, cellular respiration was high andATP was relatively low, suggesting uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. In the second cohort of patients, the examined biopsies showed either normal or superficial gastritis. The rate of cellular respiration(O2. μmol/L min-1 mg-1) was slightly higher in the corpus than the antrum(0.18 ± 0.05 vs 0.15 ± 0.04, P = 0.019). The value of GSH was about the same in both tissues(310 ± 135 vs 322 ± 155, P = 0.692).CONCLUSION: The corpus mucosa was metabolically more active than the antrum tissue. The data in this study will help in understanding the pathophysiology of gastric mucosa. | Ali S Alfazari Bayan Al-Dabbagh Wafa Al-Dhaheri Mazen S Taha Ahmad A Chebli Eva M Fontagnier Zaher Koutoubi Jose Kochiyi Sherif M Karam Abdul-Kader Souid | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,2: | 2 |
| 9 | First United Arab Emirates consensus on diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel diseases:A 2020 Delphi consensus显示文摘Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the main entities of inflammatory bowel disease characterized by chronic remittent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.The incidence and prevalence are on the rise worldwide,and the heterogeneity between patients and within individuals over time is striking.The progressive advance in our understanding of the etiopathogenesis coupled with an unprecedented increase in therapeutic options have changed the management towards evidence-based interventions by clinicians with patients.This guideline was stimulated and supported by the Emirates Gastroenterology and Hepatology Society following a systematic review and a Delphi consensus process that provided evidence-and expert opinion-based recommendations.Comprehensive up-to-date guidance is provided regarding diagnosis,evaluation of disease severity,appropriate and timely use of different investigations,choice of appropriate therapy for induction and remission phase according to disease severity,and management of main complications. | Maryam Alkhatry Ahmad Al-Rifai Vito Annese Filippos Georgopoulos Ahmad N Jazzar Ahmed M Khassouan Zaher Koutoubi Rahul Nathwani Mazen S Taha Jimmy K Limdi | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,43: | 2 |
