| 1 | Biomarkers in colorectal cancer: Current clinical utility and future perspectives显示文摘Colorectal cancer(CRC) is a major cause of cancer death worldwide. CRC has poor prognosis and there is a crucial need for new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers to avoid CRC-related deaths. CRC can be considered a sporadic disease in most cases(75%-80%), but it has been suggested that crosstalk between gene mutations(i.e., mutations of BRAF, KRAS, and p53 as well as microsatellite instability) and epigenetic alterations(i.e., DNA methylation of Cp G island promoter regions) could play a pivotal role in cancer development. A number of studies have focused on molecular testing to guide targeted and conventional treatments for patients with CRC, sometimes with contrasting results. Some of the most useful innovations in the management of CRC include the possibility to detect the absence of KRAS, BRAF, NRAS and PIK3 CA gene mutations with the subsequent choice to administer targeted adjuvant therapy with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies. Moreover, CRC patients can benefit from tests for microsatellite instability and for the detection of loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 18 q that can be helpful in guiding therapeutic decisions as regards the administration of 5-FU. The aim of this review was to summarize the most recent evidence on the possible use of genetic or epigenetic biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and response to therapy in CRC patients. | Marco Vacante Antonio Maria Borzì Francesco Basile Antonio Biondi | 2018 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2018,6,15: | 18 |
| 2 | Familial adenomatous polyposis and changes in the gut microbiota: New insights into colorectal cancer carcinogenesis显示文摘Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP),an autosomal dominant hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome,have a lifetime risk of developing cancer of nearly 100%.Recent studies have pointed out that the gut microbiota could play a crucial role in the development of colorectal adenomas and the consequent progression to colorectal cancer.Some gut bacteria,such as Fusobacterium nucleatum,Escherichia coli,Clostridium difficile,Peptostreptococcus,and enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis,could be implicated in colorectal carcinogenesis through different mechanisms,including the maintenance of a chronic inflammatory state,production of bioactive tumorigenic metabolites,and DNA damage.Studies using the adenomatous polyposis coliMin/+mouse model,which resembles FAP in most respects,have shown that specific changes in the intestinal microbial community could influence a multistep progression,the intestinal“adenoma-carcinoma sequence”,which involves mucosal barrier injury,low-grade inflammation,activation of the Wnt pathway.Therefore,modulation of gut microbiota might represent a novel therapeutic target for patients with FAP.Administration of probiotics,prebiotics,antibiotics,and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could potentially prevent the progression of the adenoma-carcinoma sequence in FAP.The aim of this review was to summarize the best available knowledge on the role of gut microbiota in colorectal carcinogenesis in patients with FAP. | Antonio Biondi Francesco Basile Marco Vacante | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2021,13,6: | 6 |
| 3 | Role of surgery for colorectal cancer in the elderly显示文摘The prevalence of subjects with colorectal cancer is expected to grow in the next future decades and surgery represents the most successful treatment modality for these patients. Anyway, currently elderly subjects undergo less elective surgical procedures than younger patients mainly due to the high rates of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Some authors suggest extensive surgery, including multistage procedures, as carried out in younger patients while others promote less aggressive surgery. In older patients, laparoscopic-assisted colectomy showed a number of advantages compared to conventional open surgery that include lower stress, higher rate of independency after surgery, quicker return to prior activities and a decrease in costs. The recent advances in chemotherapy and the introduction of new surgical procedures such as the endoluminal stenting, suggest the need for a revisitation of surgical practice patterns and the role of palliative surgery, mainly for patients with advanced disease. In this article, we discuss the current role of surgery for elderly patients with colorectal cancer. | Antonio Biondi Marco Vacante Immacolata Ambrosino Erika Cristaldi Giuseppe Pietrapertosa Francesco Basile | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2016,8,9: | 6 |

| 7 | Diversity of beetle species and functional traits along gradients of deadwood suggests weak environmental filtering显示文摘Background: Gradients in local environmental characteristics may favour the abundance of species with particular traits, while other species decline, or favour species with different traits at the same time, without an increase in average species abundances. Therefore, we asked: do variations in species and traits differ along gradients of deadwood variables? Do species abundance and trait occurrence change with species richness within or between functional groups? Thus, we analysed the beetle assemblages of five forest sites located in Italy, along the Apennines mountains.Methods: From 2012 to 2018 we sampled beetles and five deadwood types in 193 plots to characterise the deadwood gradient: standing dead trees, snags, dead downed trees, coarse woody debris, and stumps. We modelled beetle species relative abundances and trophic traits occurrences against the deadwood variables using joint species distribution models.Results: Out of 462 species, only 77 showed significant responses to at least one deadwood type, with a weak mean response across species. Trophic groups showed mostly negative responses to deadwood variables. Species abundance increased with species richness among sites only for phytophagous and saproxylophagous. Trait occurrence did not increase with species richness among sites, except for phytophagous and saproxylophagous.However, trait occurrence changed significantly with species richness of several trophic groups within some sites.We found that increases in species richness do not result in decreases in species abundance of a given trophic group, but rather null or positive relationships were found suggesting low interspecific competition.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that in Mediterranean mountain forests there is still room for increasing the level of naturalness, at least for what concerns deadwood management. On one side, our findings suggest that competition for deadwood substrates is still low, on the other side they indicate that increasing deadwood volume and types to improve overall beetle richness may increase also beetle abundances. | Marco Basile Francesco Parisi Roberto Tognetti Saverio Francini Fabio Lombardi Marco Marchetti Davide Travaglini Elena De Santis Gherardo Chirici | 2023 | Forest Ecosystems2023,10,1: | 0 |
| 8 | The identification of wildlife-vehicle collision hotspots: Citizen science reveals spatial and temporal patterns显示文摘Linear infrastructures(e.g.,roads,railways,pipelines,and powerlines)pose a serious threat to wildlife,due to the risk of wildlife-vehicle collisions(roadkills).The placement of mitigation measures,such as crossing structures,should consider species’life cycles and ecological requirements.Such an assessment would require data collection over large areas,which may be possible by employing citizen science.In this study,we aimed to identify spatiotemporal trends of roadkill occurrence using citizen science data from one of the most urbanized and biodiversityrich regions of Italy.Temporal trends were analyzed using generalized additive models,while landscape patterns were assessed by identifying significant thresholds over land cover gradients,related to increases in relative roadkill abundance,by employing threshold indicator taxa analysis.Our approach recorded a total of 529 roadkills,including 33 different species,comprising 13 mammal,10 bird,6 reptile,and 2 amphibian species.Statistical analysis indicated significant temporal trends for the red fox,the European hedgehog,the stone marten and the European badger,with peaks in roadkill occurrence between the winter and spring months.Relative roadkill abundance increased mostly in landscapes with anthropogenic land cover classes,such as complex cultivations,orchards,or urban surfaces.Our results allowed us to develop a map of potential roadkill risk that could assist in planning the placement of mitigation measures.Citizen science contributions from highly populated areas allowed data collection over a large area and a dense road network,and also directly led to the evaluation of management decisional options. | Francesco Valerio Marco Basile Rosario Balestrieri | 2021 | Ecological Processes2021,10,1: | 0 |
