| 1 | Risk factors associated with the development of ischemic colitis显示文摘AIM:To ascertain the role of cardiovascular risk factors,cardiovascular diseases,standard treatments and other diseases in the development of ischemic colitis(IC).METHODS:A retrospective,case-control study was designed,using matched data and covering 161 incident cases of IC who required admission to our hospital from 1998 through 2003.IC was diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic findings and diagnostic or compatible his-tology.Controls were randomly chosen from a cohort of patients who were admitted in the same period and required a colonoscopy,excluding those with diagnosis of colitis.Cases were matched with controls(ratio 1:2),by age and sex.A conditional logistic regression was performed.RESULTS:A total of 483 patients(161 cases,322 con-trols)were included;mean age 75.67±10.03 years,55.9%women.The principal indications for colonos-copy in the control group were lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage(35.4%),anemia(33.9%),abdominal pain(19.9%)and diarrhea(9.6%).The endoscopic findings in this group were hemorrhoids(25.5%),diverticular disease(30.4%),polyps(19.9%)and colorectal cancer(10.2%).The following variables were associated with IC in the univariate analysis:arterial hypertension(P= 0.033);dyslipidemia(P<0.001);diabetes mellitus(P =0.025);peripheral arterial disease(P=0.004);heart failure(P=0.026);treatment with hypotensive drugs(P=0.023);angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors;(P=0.018);calcium channel antagonists(P=0.028);and acetylsalicylic acid(ASA)(P<0.001).Finally,the following variables were independently associated with the development of IC:diabetes mellitus[odds ratio(OR)1.76,95%confidence interval(CI):1.001-3.077,P=0.046];dyslipidemia(OR 2.12,95%CI:1.26-3.57,P=0.004);heart failure(OR 3.17,95%CI:1.31-7.68,P=0.01);peripheral arterial disease(OR 4.1,95%CI:1.32-12.72,P=0.015);treatment with digoxin(digitalis)(OR 0.27,95%CI:0.084-0.857,P=0.026);and ASA(OR 1.97,95%CI:1.16-3.36,P=0.012).CONCLUSION:The development of an episode of IC was independently associated with diabetes,dyslipid-emia,presence of heart failure,peripheral arterial dis-ease and treatment with digoxin or ASA. | Joaquín Cubiella Fernández Luisa Núez Calvo Elvira González Vázquez Maria Jesús García García Maria Teresa Alves Pérez Isabel Martínez Silva Javier Fernández Seara | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36: | 27 |
| 2 | Management of biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation:The role of endoscopy显示文摘Biliary complications are signifi cant causes of morbidity and mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The estimated incidence of biliary complications after OLT ranges between 10%-25%,however,these numbers continue to decline due to improvement in surgical techniques. The most common biliary complications are strictures (both anastomotic and non-anastomotic) and bile leaks. Most of these problems can be appropriately managed with endoscopic retrograde colangiography (ERC). Other complications such as bile duct stones,bile casts,sphincter of Oddi dysfunction,and hemobilia,are less frequent and also can be managed with ERC. This article will review the risk factors,diagnosis,and endoscopic management of the most common biliary complications after OLT. | Maria C Londoo Domingo Balderramo Andrés Cárdenas | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,4: | 22 |

| 5 | Microbiota modification by probiotic supplementation reduces colitis associated colon cancer in mice显示文摘AIM To investigate the effect of probiotic supplementation during the development of an experimental model of colitis associated colon cancer(CAC). METHODS C57 BL/6 mice received an intraperitoneal injection of azoxymethane(10 mg/kg), followed by three cycles of sodium dextran sulphate diluted in water(5% w/v). Probiotic group received daily a mixture of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacil us rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Microbiota composition was assessed by 16 Sr RNA Illumina Hi Seq sequencing. Colon samples were collected for histological analysis. Tumor cytokines was assessed by Real Time-PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction); and serum cytokines by Multiplex assay. All tests were two-sided. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. Graphs were generated and statistical analysis performed using the software Graph Pad Prism 5.0. The project was approved by the institutional review board committee. RESULTS At day 60 after azoxymethane injection, the mean number of tumours in the probiotic group was 40% lower than that in the control group, and the probiotic group exhibited tumours of smaller size(< 2 mm)(P < 0.05). There was no difference in richness and diversity between groups. However, there was a significant difference in beta diversity in the multidimensional scaling analysis. The abundance of the genera Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Allobaculum, Clostridium XI and Clostridium XVⅢ increased in the probiotic group(P < 0.05). The microbial change was accompanied by reduced colitis, demonstrated by a 46% reduction in the colon inflammatory index; reduced expression of the serum chemokines RANTES and Eotaxin; decreased p-IKK and TNF-α and increased IL-10 expression in the colon. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a potential chemopreventive effect of probiotic on CAC. Probiotic supplementation changes microbiota structure and regulates the inflammatory response, reducing colitis and preventing CAC. | Maria Carolina S Mendes Daiane SM Paulino Sandra R Brambilla Juliana A Camargo Gabriela F Persinoti José Barreto C Carvalheira | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,18: | 17 |
| 6 | -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 |
| 7 | “猪地方性肺炎及其防治控制”专栏二:有关猪肺炎支原体感染诊断方法和流行病学的最新观点显示文摘猪肺炎支原体是猪地方性肺炎(Enzoodc Pneumonia,EP)的主要病原体,本病是一种主要影响肥育猪的慢性呼吸道疾病。尽管人们在控制猪肺炎支原体感染及其带来的不利影响上花费了大量的精力,但是猪地方性肺炎仍继续给全球养猪生产造成重大的经济损失。猪肺炎支原体通常是通过引进亚临床型感染的动物而侵入猪群的,或通过短距离的空气传播发生感染,但后一种情况较少。一旦侵入猪群,猪肺炎支原体可通过与受感染的母猪直接接触而将病原体传给后代或在同圈猪只之间进行传播。用于诊断猪肺炎支原体感染的“黄金标准”技术——细菌学培养非常费劲,通常很少使用。酶联免疫吸附试验和聚合酶链式反应检测方法以及以屠宰场监测或田间剖解为形式的死后检查,是用于调查猪肺炎支原体是否参与了猪呼吸道疾病的最常用技术。这些技术已被用来监测受猪地方性肺炎影响的猪群猪肺炎支原体的临床型和亚临床型感染猪群、免疫猪群或非免疫猪群以及处于不同的生产条件和管理奈件下的猪群的发生情况。猪场水平上的猪地方性肺炎临床过程差异以及猪肺炎支原体疫苗接种效果的差异表明,猪肺炎支原体的不同田间分离株的传播和毒力特性存在差异。本文综述了猪肺炎支原体感染的流行病学最新知识,包括其传播、感染和血清转化动力学,并且还比较了用来监测猪地方性肺炎的各种流行病学方法。 | Marina Sibila Maria Pieters Thomas Molitor Dominiek Maes Freddy Haesebmuck Joaquim Segal e s 沈权(译) 邵嘉佳(校) | 2009 | 国外畜牧学(猪与禽)2009,,3: | 16 |
| 8 | Role of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and their natural inhibitors in liver fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis and non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases显示文摘BACKGROUND: There is a growing evidence that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 (gelatinases) play an important role in the pathogenesis of numerous disorders especially with inflammatory etiology and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Despite the fact that gelatinases involve in liver cirrhosis is provided in the literature, their role in the pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis and non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases is still under investigation.DATA SOURCES: We carried out a PubM ed search of English language articles relevant to the involvement of gelatinases in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis, pancreatitis, and non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases.RESULTS: The decreased activity of gelatinases, especially MMP-2, is related to the development of liver fibrosis, probably due to the decrease of capability for ECM remodeling. Similar situation can be found in chronic pancreatitis; however reports on this matter are rare. The presence of non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases results in MMP-9 activity elevation.CONCLUSION: The fluctuation of gelatinases activity during liver fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis and non-specific inflammatorybowel diseases is observed, but the exact role of these enzymes demands further studies. | Jacek Kurzepa Agnieszka M?dro Gra?yna Czechowska Joanna Kurzepa Krzysztof Celiński Weronika Kazmierak Maria S?omka | 2014 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2014,13,6: | 15 |
| 9 | Antibacterial approaches in tissue engineering using metal ions and nanoparticles:From mechanisms to applications显示文摘Bacterial infection of implanted scaffolds may have fatal consequences and,in combination with the emergence of multidrug bacterial resistance,the development of advanced antibacterial biomaterials and constructs is of great interest.Since decades ago,metals and their ions had been used to minimize bacterial infection risk and,more recently,metal-based nanomaterials,with improved antimicrobial properties,have been advocated as a novel and tunable alternative.A comprehensive review is provided on how metal ions and ion nanoparticles have the potential to decrease or eliminate unwanted bacteria.Antibacterial mechanisms such as oxidative stress induction,ion release and disruption of biomolecules are currently well accepted.However,the exact antimicrobial mechanisms of the discussed metal compounds remain poorly understood.The combination of different metal ions and surface decorations of nanoparticles will lead to synergistic effects and improved microbial killing,and allow to mitigate potential side effects to the host.Starting with a general overview of antibacterial mechanisms,we subsequently focus on specific metal ions such as silver,zinc,copper,iron and gold,and outline their distinct modes of action.Finally,we discuss the use of these metal ions and nanoparticles in tissue engineering to prevent implant failure. | Maria Godoy-Gallardo Ulrich Eckhard Luis M.Delgado Yolanda J.D.de Roo Puente Mireia Hoyos-Nogués F.Javier Gil Roman A.Perez | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,12: | 14 |
| 10 | Causes and consequences of microsatellite instability in gastric carcinogenesis显示文摘Loss of DNA mismatch repair(MMR) function, due to somatic or germline epi/genetic alterations of MMR genes leads to the accumulation of numerous mutations across the genome, creating a molecular phenotype known as microsatellite instability(MSI). In gastric cancer(g C), MSI occurs in about 15% to 30% of the cases. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underlying the acquisition of MSI in g C as well as on the clinic, pathologic and molecular consequences of the MSI phenotype. Additionally, current therapeutic strategies for g C and their applicability in the MSI subset are also discussed. | Sérgia Velho Maria Sofia Fernandes Marina Leite Ceu Figueiredo Raquel Seruca | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,44: | 14 |
| 11 | Computed tomography-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy in pancreatic tumor diagnosis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the techniques, results, and complications related to computed tomography(CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsies of solid pancreatic lesions.METHODS: CT-guided percutaneous biopsies of solid pancreatic lesions performed at a cancer reference center between January 2012 and September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Biopsy material was collected with a 16-20 G Tru-Core needle(10-15 cm; Angiotech, Vancouver, CA) using a coaxial system and automatic biopsy gun. When direct access to the lesion was not possible, indirect(transgastric or transhepatic) access or hydrodissection and/or pneumodissection maneuvers were used. Characteristics of the patients, lesions, procedures, and histologic results were recorded using a standardized form. RESULTS: A total of 103 procedures included in the study were performed on patients with a mean age of 64.8 year(range: 39-94 year). The mean size of the pancreatic lesions was 45.5 mm(range: 15-195 mm). Most(75/103, 72.8%) procedures were performed via direct access, though hydrodissection and/or pneumodissection were used in 22.2%(23/103) of cases and indirect transhepatic or transgastric access was used in 4.8%(5/103) of cases. Histologic analysis was performed on all biopsies, and diagnoses were conclusive in 98.1%(101/103) of cases, confirming3.9%(4/103) of tumors were benign and 94.2%(97/103) were malignant; results were atypical in 1.9%(2/103) of cases, requiring a repeat biopsy to diagnose a neuroendocrine tumor, and surgical resection to confirm a primary adenocarcinoma. Only mild/moderate complications were observed in 9/103 patients(8.7%),and they were more commonly associated with biopsies of lesions located in the head/uncinate process(n =8), than of those located in the body/tail(n = 1) of the pancreas, but this difference was not significant.CONCLUSION: CT-guided biopsy of a pancreatic lesion is a safe procedure with a high success rate, and is an excellent option for minimally invasive diagnosis. | Chiang J Tyng Maria Fernanda A Almeida Paula NV Barbosa Almir GV Bitencourt José Augusto AG Berg Macello S Maciel Felipe JF Coimbra Luiz Henrique O Schiavon Maria Dirlei Begnami Marcos D Guimares Charles E Zurstrassen Rubens Chojniak | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,12: | 14 |

| 13 | Helicobacter pylori infection as a cause of iron deficiency anaemia of unknown origin显示文摘AIM: To assess the aetiological role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in adult patients with ironrefractory or iron-dependent anaemia of previously unknown origin. METHODS: Consecutive patients with chronic irondeficient anaemia (IDA) with H. pylori infection and a negative standard work-up were prospectively evaluated. All of them had either iron refractoriness or iron dependency. Response to H. pylori eradication was assessed at 6 and 12 mo from follow-up. H. pylori infection was considered to be the cause of the anaemia when a complete anaemia resolution without iron supplements was observed after eradication. RESULTS: H. pylori was eradicated in 88 of the 89 patients. In the non-eradicated patient the four eradicating regimens failed. There were violations of protocol in 4 patients, for whom it was not possible to ascertain the cause of the anaemia. Thus, 84 H. pylori eradicated patients (10 men; 74 women) were available to assess the effect of eradication on IDA. H. pylori infection was considered to be the aetiology of IDA in 32 patients (38.1%; 95%CI: 28.4%-48.8%). This was more frequent in men/postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women (75% vs 23.3%; P < 0.0001) with an OR of 9.8 (95%CI: 3.3-29.6). In these patients, anaemia resolution occurred in the first follow-up visit at 6 mo, and no anaemia or iron deficiency relapse was observed after a mean follow-up of 21 ± 2 mo. CONCLUSION: Gastric H. pylori infection is a frequent cause of iron-refractory or iron-dependent anaemia of previously unknown origin in adult patients. | Helena Monzón Montserrat Forné Maria Esteve Mercé Rosinach Carme Loras Jorge C Espinós Josep M Viver Antonio Salas Fernando Fernández-Baares | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,26: | 13 |
| 14 | Hepatocellular carcinoma: Review of disease and tumor biomarkers显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is a common malignancy and now the second commonest global cause of cancer death. HCC tumorigenesis is relatively silent and patients experience late symptomatic presentation. As the option for curative treatments is limited to early stage cancers, diagnosis in non-symptomatic individuals is crucial. International guidelines advise regular surveillance of high-risk populations but the current tools lack sufficient sensitivity for early stage tumors on the background of a cirrhotic nodular liver. A number of novel biomarkers have now been suggested in the literature, which may reinforce the current surveillance methods. In addition, recent metabonomic and proteomic discoveries have established specific metabolite expressions in HCC, according to Warburg's phenomenon of altered energy metabolism. With clinical validation, a simple and non-invasive test from the serum or urine may be performed to diagnose HCC, particularly benefiting low resource regions where the burden of HCC is highest. | Jin Un Kim Mohamed I F Shariff Mary M E Crossey Maria Gomez-Romero Elaine Holmes I Jane Cox Haddy K S Fye Ramou Njie Simon D Taylor-Robinson | 2016 | World Journal of Hepatology2016,8,10: | 13 |
| 15 | Therapeutic options for the management of pancreatic cancer显示文摘Since its initial characterization, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has remained one of the most devastating and difficult cancers to treat. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, resulting in an estimated 38460 deaths annually. With few screening tools available to detect this disease at an early stage, 94% of patients will die within five years of diagnosis. Despite decades of research that have led to a better understanding of the molecular and cellular signaling pathways in pancreatic cancer cells, few effective therapies have been developed to target these pathways. Other treatment options have included more sophisticated pancreatic cancer surgeries and combination therapies. While outcomes have improved modestly for these patients, more effective treatmentsare desperately needed. One of the greatest challenges in the future of treating this malignancy will be to develop therapies that target the tumor microenvironment and surrounding pancreatic cancer stem cells in addition to pancreatic cancer cells. Recent advances in targeting pancreatic stellate cells and the stroma have encouraged researchers to shift their focus to the role of desmoplasia in pancreatic cancer pathobiology in the hopes of developing newer-generation therapies. By combining novel agents with current cytotoxic chemotherapies and radiation therapy and personalizing them to each patient based on specific biomarkers, the goal of prolonging a patient's life could be achieved. Here we review the most effective therapies that have been used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and discuss the future potential of therapeutic options. | Maria L Rossi Azeem A Rehman Christopher S Gondi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 13 |
| 16 | Hepatitis B and inflammatory bowel disease: Role of antiviral prophylaxis显示文摘Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a very common infection worldwide. Its reactivation in patients receiving immunosuppression has been widely described as being associated with significant morbidity and mortality unless anti-viral prophylaxis is administered. Treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients has changed in recent years and immunosuppression and biological therapies are now used more frequently than before. Although current studies have reported an incidence of hepatitis B in inflammatory bowel disease patients similar to that in the general population, associated liver damage remains an important concern in this setting. Liver dysfunction may manifest in several ways, from a subtle change in serum aminotransferase levels to fulminant liver failure and death. Patients undergoing double immunosuppression are at a higher risk, and reactivation usually occurs after more than one year of treatment. As preventive measures, all IBD patients should be screened for HBV markers at diagnosis and those who are positive for the hepatitis B surface antigen should receive antiviral prophylaxis before undergoing immunosuppression in order to avoid HBV reactivation. Tenofovir/entecavir are preferred to lamivudine as nucleos(t)ide analogues due to their better resistance profile. In patients with occult or resolved HBV, viral reactivation does not appear to be a relevant issue and regular DNA determination is recommended during immunosuppression therapy. Consensus guidelines on this topic have been published in recent years. The prevention and management of HBV infection in IBD patients is addressed in this review in order to address practical | Pilar López-Serrano Jose Lázaro Pérez-Calle Maria Dolores Sánchez-Tembleque | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,9: | 12 |
| 17 | Helicobacter pylori and autoimmune disease:Cause or bystander显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)is the main cause of chronic gastritis and a major risk factor for gastric cancer.This pathogen has also been considered a potential trigger of gastric autoimmunity,and in particular of autoimmune gastritis.However,a considerable number of reports have attempted to link H.pylori infection with the development of extra-gastrointestinal autoimmune disorders,affecting organs not immediately relevant to the stomach.This review discusses the current evidence in support or against the role of H.pylori as a potential trigger of autoimmune rheumatic and skin diseases,as well as organ specific autoimmune diseases.We discuss epidemiological,serological,immunological and experimental evidence associating this pathogen with autoimmune diseases.Although over one hundred autoimmune diseases have been investigated in relation to H.pylori,we discuss a select number of papers with a larger literature base,and include Sj grens syndrome,rheumatoid arthritis,systemic lupus erythematosus,vasculitides,autoimmune skin conditions,idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura,autoimmune thyroid disease,multiple sclerosis,neuromyelitis optica and autoimmune liver diseases.Specific mention is given to those studies reporting an association of anti-H.pylori antibodies with the presence of autoimmune disease-specific clinical parameters,as well as those failing to find such associations.We also provide helpful hints for future research. | Daniel S Smyk Andreas L Koutsoumpas Maria G Myt-ilinaiou Eirini I Rigopoulou Lazaros I Sakkas Dimitrios P Bogdanos | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,3: | 12 |
| 18 | Treatment modalities for early gastric cancer显示文摘Different treatment modalities have been proposed in the treatment of early gastric cancer(EGC). Endoscopic resection(ER) is an established treatment that allows curative treatment, in selected cases. In addition, ER allows for an accurate histological staging, which is crucial when deciding on the best treatment option for EGC. Recently, endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) have become alternatives to surgery in early gastric cancer, mainly in Asian countries. Patients with 'standard' criteria can be successfully treated by EMR techniques. Those who meet 'expanded' criteria may benefit from treatment by ESD, reducing the need for surgery. Standardized ESD training system is imperative to promulgate effective and safe ESD technique to practices with limited expertise. Although endoscopic resection is an option in patients with EGC, surgical treatment continues to be a widespread therapeutic option worldwide. In this review we tried to point out the treatment modalities for early gastric cancer. | Jesús Espinel Eugenia Pinedo Vanesa Ojeda Maria Guerra del Rio | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,12: | 11 |
| 19 | Ear therapy and massage therapy in the elderly with dementia: a pilot study显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of massage versus ear acupuncture on behavior and participation in occupational therapy of dementia patients. METHODS: We performed a controlled, randomized longitudinal trial approved by the Bioethics Commission of the University of Extremadura. One hundred twenty elderly subjects with dementia institutionalized in residential homes in Extremadura (Spain) received treatment based on massage and ear acupuncture over three months. Behavior alterations, sleep disturbance, and participation in rehabilitation and eating were assessed every month during the three months of intervention, and at one and two months of follow-up after the end of treatment. The assessment was performed through a structured questionnaire with closed format ques-tions done by an occupational therapist not involved in the study. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant positive effect of massage and ear acupuncture (P< 0.001) on measured variables in the third month of intervention, which were maintained at two months after completing the treatment (P<0.021), when compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Massage therapy and ear acupuncture can improve behavior and sleep disturbances, and increase the participation in eating and rehabilitation organized in residential homes, in dementia patients. | Juan Rodríguez-Mansilla María Victoria González-LópezArza Enrique Varela-Donoso Jesús Montanero-Fernández María Jiménez-Palomares Elisa Maria Garrido-Ardila | 2013 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2013,33,4: | 11 |
| 20 | Phase angle obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the phase angle(PA)obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) for mortality prediction in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS In total, 134 male cirrhotic patients prospectively completed clinical evaluations and nutritional assessment by BIA to obtain PAs during a 36-mo follow-up period. Mortality risk was analyzed by applying the PA cutoff point recently proposed as a malnutrition marker(PA ≤ 4.9°) in Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups according to the PA cutoff value(PA > 4.9°, n = 73; PA ≤ 4.9°, n = 61). Weight, height, and body mass index were similar in both groups, but patients with PAs > 4.9° were younger and had higher mid-arm muscle circumference, albumin, and handgrip-strength values and lower severe ascites and encephalopathy incidences, interleukin(IL)-6/IL-10 ratios and C-reactive protein levels than did patients with PAs ≤ 4.9°(P ≤ 0.05). Forty-eight(35.80%) patients died due to cirrhosis, with a median of 18 mo(interquartile range, 3.3-25.6 mo) follow-up until death. Thirty-one(64.60%) of these patients were from the PA ≤ 4.9° group. PA ≤ 4.9° significantly and independently affected the mortality model adjusted for Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and age(hazard ratio = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.11-3.77, P = 0.021). In addition, Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with PAs ≤ 4.9° were significantly more likely to die. CONCLUSION In male patients with cirrhosis, the PA ≤ 4.9° cutoff was associated independently with mortality and identified patients with worse metabolic, nutritional, and disease progression profiles. The PA may be a useful and reliable bedside tool to evaluate prognosis in cirrhosis. | Giliane Belarmino Maria Cristina Gonzalez Raquel S Torrinhas Priscila Sala Wellington Andraus Luiz Augusto Carneiro D'Albuquerque Rosa Maria R Pereira Valéria F Caparbo Graziela R Ravacci Lucas Damiani Steven B Heymsfield Dan L Waitzberg | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,7: | 11 |
