1Interventional treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The Barcelona clinic liver cancer classification is the current standard classification system for the clinical management of patients with HCC and suggests that patients with intermediate-stage HCC benefit from transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE). Interventional treatments such as TACE, balloon-occluded TACE, drug-eluting bead embolization, radioembolization, and combined therapies including TACE and radiofrequency ablation, continue to evolve, resulting in improved patient prognosis. However, patients with advanced-stage HCC typically receive only chemotherapy with sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor, or palliative and conservative therapy. Most patients receive palliative or conservative therapy only, and approximately 50% of patients with HCC are candidatesfor systemic therapy. However, these patients require therapy that is more effective than sorafenib or conservative treatment. Several researchers try to perform more effective therapies, such as combined therapies(TACE with radiotherapy and sorafenib with TACE), modified TACE for HCC with arterioportal or arteriohepatic vein shunts, TACE based on hepatic hemodynamics, and isolated hepatic perfusion. This review summarizes the published data and data on important ongoing studies concerning interventional treatments for unresectable HCC and discusses the technical improvements in these interventions, particularly for advanced-stage HCC.Satoru Murata Takahiko Mine Fumie Sugihara Daisuke Yasui Hidenori Yamaguchi Tatsuo Ueda Shiro Onozawa Shin-ichiro Kumita 2014World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,37:38
2Clinical significance of type V_I pit pattern subclassification in determining the depth of invasion of colorectal neoplasms显示文摘AIM: To clarify whether subclassification of the type VI pit pattern on the basis of magnifying colonoscopy findings is useful in determining the type and depth of invasion of colorectal neoplasms.METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 272 colorectal neoplasms (117 dysplasias and 155 submucosal invasive carcinomas; 228 patients) with a type V pit pattern [type VI, n = 202; type VN, n = 70 (Kudo and Tsuruta classification system)]. We divided lesions with a type VI pit pattern into two subclasses, mildly irregular lesions and severely irregular lesions, according to the prominent and detailed magnifying colonoscopy findings. We examined the relation between these two subclasses and histology/invasion depth.RESULTS: One hundred and four lesions (51.5%) were judged to be mildly irregular, and 98 lesions (48.5%) were judged to be severely irregular. Ninety-seven (93.3%) mildly irregular lesions showed dysplasias or submucosal invasion of less than 1000 μm (SM < 1000 μm). Fifty-five (56.1%) severely irregular lesions showed submucosal invasion equal to or deeper than 1000 μm (SM ≥ 1000 μm). Mild irregularity was found significantly more often in dysplasias or lesions with SM < 1000 μm than in lesions with SM ≥ 1000 μm (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Subclassification of the type VI pit pattern is useful for identifying dysplasias or lesions with SM < 1000 μm.Hiroyuki Kanao Shinji Tanaka Shiro Oka Iwao Kaneko Shigeto Yoshida Koji Arihiro Masaharu Yoshihara Kazuaki Chayama 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,2:15
3Investigation and prediction of enteral nutrition problems after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy显示文摘AIM:To investigate and predict enteral nutrition problems after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed data for 252 out of 285 patients who underwent PEG at our hospital from 1999 to 2008.Enteral nutrition problems after PEG were defined as:(1)patients who required ≥1 mo after surgery to switch to complete enteral nutrition,or who required additional parenteral alimentation continuously;or(2)patients who abandoned switching to enteral nutrition using the gastrostoma and employed other nutritional methods. We attempted to identify the predictors of problem cases by using a logistic regression analysis that examined the patients’backgrounds and the specific causes that led to their problems. RESULTS:Mean age of the patients was 75 years,and in general,their body weight was low and their overall condition was markedly poor.Blood testing revealed that patients tended to be anemic and malnourished.A total of 44 patients(17.5%)were diagnosed as having enteral nutrition problems after PEG.Major causes ofthe problems included pneumonia,acute enterocolitis (often Clostridium difficile-related),paralytic ileus and biliary tract infection.A multivariate analysis identified the following independent predictors for problem cases:(1)enteral nutrition before gastrectomy(a risk reduction factor);(2)presence of esophageal hiatal hernia;(3)past history of paralytic ileus;and(4) presence of chronic renal dysfunction. CONCLUSION:Enteral nutrition problems after PEG occurred at a comparatively high rate.Patient background analysis elucidated four predictive factors for the problem cases.Shiro Yokohama Masaru Aoshima Yukiomi Nakade Junya Shindo Junichi Maruyama Masashi Yoneda 2009World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,11:14
4Immunohistochemical molecular markers as predictors of curability of endoscopically resected submucosal colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To clarify the usefulness of immunohistochemical molecular markers in predicting lymph node metastasis of submucosal colorectal cancer. METHODS: We examined microvessel density, lymphatic vessel density, the Ki-67 labeling index, expression of MUC1 and Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) in tumor cells, and expression of cathepsin D in stromal cells at the invasive front by immunostaining of samples resected from 214 patients with submucosal colorectal cancer. Pathologic features were assessed on hematoxylin-eosin- stained samples. We evaluated the relations between clinicopathologic/immunohistochemical features and lymph node metastasis. RESULTS: Lesions of the superficial type, with an unfavorable histologic grade, budding, lymphatic involvement, high microvessel density (≥ 40), high lymphatic vessel density (≥ 9), high Ki-67 labeling index (≥ 42), and positivity of MUC1, cathepsin D, and MMP-7 showed a significantly high incidence of lymph node metastasis. Multivariate analysis revealed that high microvessel density, unfavorable histologic grade, cathepsin D positivity, high lymphatic vessel density, superficial type, budding, and MUC1 positivity were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis.A combined examination with four independent immunohistochemical markers (microvessel density, cathepsin D, lymphatic vessel density, and MUC1) revealed that all lesions that were negative for all markers or positive for only one marker were negative for lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSION: Analysis of a combination of immuno- histochemical molecular markers in endoscopically resected specimens of submucosal colorectal cancer allows prediction of curability regardless of the pathologic features visible of hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections.Iwao Kaneko Shinji Tanaka Shiro Oka Shigeto Yoshida Toru Hiyama Koji Arihiro Fumio Shimamoto Kazuaki Chayama 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,28:12
5Centrifuge modeling of buried continuous pipelines subjected to normal faulting显示文摘Seismic ground faulting is the greatest hazard for continuous buried pipelines.Over the years,researchers have attempted to understand pipeline behavior mostly via numerical modeling such as the finite element method.The lack of well-documented field case histories of pipeline failure from seismic ground faulting and the cost and complicated facilities needed for full-scale experimental simulation mean that a centrifuge-based method to determine the behavior of pipelines subjected to faulting is best to verify numerical approaches.This paper presents results from three centrifuge tests designed to investigate continuous buried steel pipeline behavior subjected to normal faulting.The experimental setup and procedure are described and the recorded axial and bending strains induced in a pipeline are presented and compared to those obtained via analytical methods.The influence of factors such as faulting offset,burial depth and pipe diameter on the axial and bending strains of pipes and on ground soil failure and pipeline deformation patterns are also investigated.Finally,the tensile rupture of a pipeline due to normal faulting is investigated.Majid Moradi Mahdi Rojhani Abbas Galandarzadeh Shiro Takada 2013Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration2013,12,1:11
6Short-type single balloon enteroscope for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with altered gastrointestinal anatomy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of a short-type single-balloon-enteroscope(SBE) for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) in patients with a reconstructed intestine.METHODS:Short-type SBE was developed to perform ERCP in postoperative patients with a reconstructed intestine.Short-type SBE is a direct-viewing endoscope with the following specifications:working length,1520 mm;total length,1840 mm;channel diameter,3.2 mm.In addition,short-type SBE has a water-jet channel.The study group comprised 22 patients who underwent 31 sessions of short-type SBE-assisted ERCP from June 2011 through May 2012.Reconstruction was performed by Billroth-Ⅱ(B-Ⅱ) gastrectomy in 6 patients(8 sessions),Roux-en-Y(R-Y) gastrectomy in 14 patients(21 sessions),and R-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 2 patients(2 sessions).We retrospectively studied the rate of reaching the blind end(papilla of Vater or choledochojejunal anastomosis),mean time required to reach the blind end,diagnostic success rate(defined as the rate of successfully imaging the bile and pancreatic ducts),therapeutic success rate(defined as the rate of successfully completing endoscopic treatment),mean procedure time,and complications.RESULTS:Among the 31 sessions of ERCP,the rate of reaching the blind end was 88% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,91% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The mean time required to reach the papilla was 18.3 min in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,21.1 min in R-Y gastrectomy,and 32.5 min in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The diagnostic success rates in all patients and those with an intact papilla were respectively 86% and 86% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,90% and 87% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.The therapeutic success rates in all patients and those with an intact papilla were respectively 100% and 100% in B-Ⅱ gastrectomy,94% and 92% in R-Y gastrectomy,and 100% in R-Y hepaticojejunostomy.Because the channel diameter was 3.2 mm,stone extraction could be performed with a wire-guided basket in 12 sessions,and wireguided intraductal ultrasonography could be performed in 8 sessions.As for complications,hyperamylasemia(defined as a rise in serum amylase levels to more than 3 times the upper limit of normal) occurred in 1 patient(7 sessions) with a B-Ⅱ gastrectomy and 4 patients(19 sessions) with an R-Y gastrectomy.After ERCP in patients with an R-Y gastrectomy,2 patients(19 sessions) had pancreatitis,1 patient(21 sessions) had gastrointestinal perforation,and 1 patient(19 sessions) had papillary bleeding.Pancreatitis and bleeding were both mild.Gastrointestinal perforation improved after conservative treatment.CONCLUSION:Short-type SBE is effective for ERCP in patients with a reconstructed intestine and allows most conventional ERCP devices to be used.Hiroshi Yamauchi Mitsuhiro Kida Kosuke Okuwaki Shiro Miyazawa Tomohisa Iwai Miyoko Takezawa Hidehiko Kikuchi Maya Watanabe Hiroshi Imaizumi Wasaburo Koizumi 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,11:10
7Inhibitory effect of angiotensinⅡreceptor antagonist on hepatic stellate cell activation in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the efficacy of angiotensinⅡreceptor antagonist on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation in the patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). METHODS: Seven patients with NASH were prescribed losartan, a selective angiotensinⅡtype 1 receptor antagonist (50 mg/d) for 48 wk. Liver biopsies were performed both at the entry and end of the study in all patients. Quiescent and activated HSCs were identified by double immunostaining using anti-p75 andα-smooth muscle actin antibodies, and the number of each phenotype was counted. Similarly, the liver specimens obtained from the eight patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) were also examined as controls. RESULTS: In NASH hepatic tissues, activated HSCs were dominantly distributed as compared with those in NAFL. The 48-wk losartan treatment induced a remarkable decrease in activated HSCs and a mild increase in quiescent phenotypes. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest the crucial involvement of HSCs in anti-fibrotic effect of angiotensinⅡreceptor antagonist on patients with NASH.Shiro Yokohama Yoshihiko Tokusashi Kimihide Nakamura Yosui Tamaki Satoshi Okamoto Mituyoshi Okada Kazunobu Aso Takenao Hasegawa Masaru Aoshima Naoyuki Miyokawa Masakazu Haneda Masashi Yoneda 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,2:10
8Innovations and techniques for balloon-enteroscopeassisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy显示文摘Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) remains challenging in patients who have undergone surgical reconstruction of the intestine.Recently,many studies have reported that balloonenteroscope-assisted ERCP(BEA-ERCP) is a safe and effective procedure.However,further improvements in outcomes and the development of simplified procedures are required.Percutaneous treatment,Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP,endoscopic ultrasoundguided anterograde intervention,and open surgery are effective treatments.However,treatment should be noninvasive,effective,and safe.We believe that these procedures should be performed only in difficult-to-treat patients because of many potential complications.BEA-ERCP still requires high expertiselevel techniques and is far from a routinely performed procedure.Various techniques have been proposed to facilitate scope insertion(insertion with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD) rendezvous technique,Short type single-balloon enteroscopes with passive bending section,Intraluminal injection of indigo carmine,CO2 inflation guidance),cannulation(PTBD or percutaneous transgallbladder drainage rendezvous technique,Dilation using screw drill,Rendezvous technique combining DBE with a cholangioscope,endoscopic ultrasound-guided rendezvous technique),and treatment(overtube-assisted technique,Short type balloon enteroscopes) during BEA-ERCP.The use of these techniques may allow treatment to be performed by BEA-ERCP in many patients.A standard procedure for ERCP yet to be established for patients with a reconstructed intestine.At present,BEA-ERCP is considered the safest and most effective procedure and is therefore likely to be recommended as firstline treatment.In this article,we discuss the current status of BEA-ERCP in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy.Hiroshi Yamauchi Mitsuhiro Kida Hiroshi Imaizumi Kosuke Okuwaki Shiro Miyazawa Tomohisa Iwai Wasaburo Koizumi 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,21:9
9Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: Recent technical advances for safe and successful procedures显示文摘Endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) is very useful in en bloc resection of large superficial colorectal tumors but is a technically difficult procedure because the colonic wall is thin and endoscopic maneuverability is poor because of colonic flexure and extensibility. A high risk of perforation has been reported in colorectal ESD. To prevent complications such as perforation and unexpected bleeding, it is crucial to ensure good visualization of the submucosal layer by creating a mucosal flap, which is an exfoliated mucosa for inserting the tip of the endoscope under it. The creation of a mucosal flap is often technically difficult; however, various types of equipment, appropriate strategy, and novel procedures including our clip-flap method, appear to facilitate mucosal flap creation, improving the safety and success rate of ESD. Favorable treatment outcomes with colorectal ESD have already been reported in many advanced institutions, and appropriate understanding of techniques and development of training systems are required for world-wide standardization of colorectal ESD. Here, we describe recent technical advances for safe and successful colorectal ESD.Katsumi Yamamoto Tomoki Michida Tsutomu Nishida Shiro Hayashi Masafumi Naito Toshifumi Ito 2015World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2015,7,14:9
10BRIEF ARTICLE New reduced volume preparation regimen in colon capsule endoscopy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed bowel preparation method for colon capsule endoscopy.METHODS:A pilot,multicenter,randomized controlled trial compared our proposed 'reduced volume method'(group A) with the 'conventional volume method'(group B) preparation regimens.Group A did not drink polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage solution(PEGELS) the day before the capsule procedure,while group B drank 2 L.During the procedure day,groups A and B drank 2 L and 1 L of PEG-ELS,respectively,and swallowed the colon capsule(PillCam COLON capsule).Two hours later the first booster of 100 g magnesium citrate mixed with 900 mL water was administered to both groups,and the second booster was administered six hours post capsule ingestion as long as the capsule had not been excreted by that time.Capsule videos were reviewed for grading of cleansing level,RESULTS:Sixty-four subjects were enrolled,with results from 60 analyzed.Groups A and B included 31 and 29 subjects,respectively.Twenty-nine(94%) subjects in group A and 25(86%) subjects in group B had adequate bowel preparation(ns).Twenty-two(71%) of the 31 subjects in group A excreted the capsule within its battery life compared to 16(55%) of the 29 subjects in group B(ns).Of the remaining 22 subjects whose capsules were not excreted within the battery life,all of the capsules reached the left side colon before they stopped functioning.A single adverse event was reported in one subject who had mild symptoms of nausea and vomiting one hour after starting to drink PEG-ELS,due to ingesting the PEG-ELS faster than recommended.CONCLUSION:Our proposed reduced volume bowel preparation method for colon capsule without PEG-ELS during the days before the procedure was as effective as the conventional volume method.Yasuo Kakugawa Yutaka Saito Shoichi Saito Kenji Watanabe Naoki Ohmiya Mitsuyuki Murano Shiro Oka Tetsuo Arakawa Hidemi Goto Kazuhide Higuchi Shinji Tanaka Hideki Ishikawa Hisao Tajiri 2012World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,17:8

12Prospective postsurgical capsule endoscopy in patients with Crohn's disease显示文摘AIM: To clarify the usefulness of postsurgical capsule endoscopy(CE) in the diagnosis of recurrent small bowel lesions of Crohn's disease(CD). METHODS: This prospective study included 19 patients who underwent ileocolectomy or partial ileal resection for CD. CE was performed 2-3 wk after surgery to check for the presence/absence and severity of lesions remaining in the small bowel, and for any recurrence at the anastomosed area. CE was repeated 6-8 mo after surgery and the findings were compared with those obtained shortly after surgery. The Lewis score (LS) was used to evaluate any inflammatory changes of the small bowel. RESULTS: One patient was excluded from analysis because of insufficient endoscopy data at the initial CE. The total LS shortly after surgery was 428.3 on average(median, 174; range, 8-4264), and was ≥ 135(active stage) in 78%(14 of 18) of the patients. When the remaining unresected small bowel was divided into 3 equal portions according to the transition time(proximal, middle, and distal tertiles), the mean LS was 286.6, 83.0, and 146.7, respectively, without any significant difference. Ulcerous lesions in the anastomosed area were observed in 83% of all patients. In 38% of the 13 patients who could undergo CE again after 6-8 mo, the total LS was higher by ≥ 100 than that recorded shortly after surgery, thus indicating a diagnosis of endoscopic progressive recurrence. CONCLUSION: Our pilot study suggests that CE can be used to objectively evaluate the postoperative recurrence of small bowel lesions after surgery for CD.Tomoaki Kono Nobuyuki Hida Koji Nogami Masaki Iimuro Yoshio Ohda Yoko Yokoyama Koji Kamikozuru Katsuyuki Tozawa Mikio Kawai Tomohiro Ogawa Kazutoshi Hori Hiroki Ikeuchi Hiroto Miwa Shiro Nakamura Takayuki Matsumoto 2014World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2014,6,3:7

14Stapled gastro/duodenojejunostomy shortens reconstruction time during pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether a stapled technique is superior to the conventional hand-sewn technique for gastro/duodenojejunostomy during pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy(PpPD).METHODS:In October 2010,we introduced a mechanical anastomotic technique of gastro-or duodenojejunostomy using staplers during PpPD.We compared clinical outcomes between 19 patients who underwent PpPD with a stapled gastro/duodenojejunostomy(stapled anastomosis group)and 19 patients who underwent PpPD with a conventional hand-sewn duodenojejunostomy(hand-sewn anastomosis group).RESULTS:The time required for reconstruction was significantly shorter in the stapled anastomosis group than in the hand-sewn anastomosis group(186.0±29.4 min vs 219.7±50.0 min,P=0.02).In addition,intraoperative blood loss was significantly less(391.0±212.0 mL vs 647.1±482.1 mL,P=0.03)and the time to oral intake was significantly shorter(5.4±1.7d vs 11.3±7.9 d,P=0.002)in the stapled anastomosis group than in the hand-sewn anastomosis group.There were no differences in the incidences of delayed gastric emptying and other postoperative complications between the groups.CONCLUSION:These results suggest that stapled gastro/duodenojejunostomy shortens reconstruction time during PpPD without affecting the incidence of delayed gastric emptying.Norihiro Sato Kei Yabuki Shiro Kohi Yasuhisa Mori Noritaka Minagawa Toshihisa Tamura Aiichiro Higure Koji Yamaguchi 2013World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,48:6
15Expression of Angiopoietin-1, 2 and 4 and Tie-1 and 2 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor, leiomyoma and schwannoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role of angiopoietin (Ang) -1, -2 and -4 and its receptors, Tie-1 and -2, in the growth and differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).METHODS: Thirty GISTs, seventeen leiomyomas and six schwannomas were examined by immunohistochemistry in this study.RESULTS: Ang-1, -2 and -4 proteins were expressed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, and Tie-1 and -2 were expressed both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of all tumors. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that 66.7% of GISTs (20 of 30), 76.5% of leiomyomas (13 of 17) and 83.3% of schwannomas (5 of 6) were positive for Ang-1. 83.3% of GISTs (25 of 30), 82.4% of leiomyomas (14 of 17) and 100% of schwannomas (6 of 6) were positive for Ang-2. 36.7% of GISTs (11 of 30), 58.8% of leiomyomas (10 of 17) and 83.3% of schwannomas (5 of 6) were positive for Ang-4. 60.0% of GISTs (18 of 30), 82.4% of leiomyomas and 100% of schwannomas (6 of 6) were positive for Tie-1. 10.0% of GISTs (3 of 30), 94.1% of leiomyomas (16 of 17) and 33.3% of schwannomas (2 of 6) were positive for Tie-2. Tie-2 expression was statistically different between GISTs and leiomyomas (P < 0.001). However, there was no correlation between expression of angiopoietin pathway components and clinical risk categories.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the angiopoietin pathway plays an important role in the differentiation of GISTs, leiomyomas and schwannomas.Toshiyuki Nakayama Maki Inaba Shinji Naito Yumi Mihara Shiro Miura Mitsuru Taba Ayumi Yoshizaki Chun-Yang Wen Ichiro Sekine 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,33:6

17Targeting hyaluronan for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma显示文摘Progression of cancer is often associated with interactions between cancer cells and extracellular matrix(ECM) surrounding them. Increasing evidence has suggested that accumulation of hyaluronan(HA), a major component of ECM, provides a favorable microenvironment for cancer progression. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC) is characterized typically by a dense desmoplastic stroma with a large amount of HA, making this molecule as an attractive target for therapy. Several studies have shown efficacy of inhibitors of HA synthesis or signaling for the treatment of PDAC. Recent studies have also demonstrated substantial improvements in the effects of chemotherapy by a targeted depletion of stromal HA in PDAC using an enzymatic agent. Thus, targeting HA has been recognized as a promising therapeutic strategy to treat this highly aggressive neoplasm. In this review article, we summarize our current understanding of the role of HA in the progression of PDAC and discuss possible therapeutic approaches targeting HA.Norihiro Sato Xiao-Bo Cheng Shiro Kohi Atsuhiro Koga Keiji Hirata 2016Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2016,6,2:5
18Pancreatic involvement in chronic viral hepatitis显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the frequency and characteristics of pancreatic disorders in the course of chronic viral hepatitis. METHODS: We prospectively assessed the serum pancreatic enzyme levels and imaging findings in patients with chronic viral hepatitis and healthy control subjects. RESULTS: Serum amylase (t-Amy), salivary amylase (s-Amy), pancreatic amylase (p-Amy) and serum lipase levels were higher in hepatitis patients in comparison to control subjects. However, in asymptomatic viral carriers, only the serum t-Amy levels were higher than those of the controls. The levels of each enzyme rose with the progression of liver disease in patients with hepatitis B or C; whereas the levels of each enzyme within the same clinical stage of the disease did not differ between patients diagnosed with either hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus. Imaging findings demonstrated chronic pancreatitis in only 1 out of 202 patients (0.5%).CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that serum levels of pancreatic enzymes increase with the progression of liver disease in patients diagnosed with viral hepatitis. Pancreatic disease, asymptomatic in most cases, may represent an extrahepatic manifestation of chronic viral hepatitis.Yoshiki Katakura Hiroshi Yotsuyanagi Kiyoe Hashizume Chiaki Okuse Noriaki Okuse Kohji Nishikawa Michihiro Suzuki Shiro Iino Fumio Itoh 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,23:5

20Recent progress in supercritical fluid science for biofuel production from woody biomass显示文摘Owing to an environment-friendly utilization of resources, increased attention has been focused on fuels and chemicals from biomass as an alternative to fossil resources. In addition, supercritical fluid technology has been considered to be an environ- mentally-benign treatment. Therefore, its technology was applied for a conversion of biomass to useful fuels and chemicals in order to mitigate environmental loading. For example, supercritical water treatment has demonstrated that lignocellulosics can be hydro- lyzed to become lignin-derived products for useful aromatic chemicals and carbohydrate-derived products, such as polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and monosaccharides of glucose, mannose and xylose used for subsequent ethanol fermentation. If this treatment is prolonged, lignocellulosics were found to be converted to organic acids such as formic, acetic, glycolic and lactic acids which can be converted to methane for biofuel. When alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, were used instead of water, some other useful prod- ucts were achieved, and its liquefied products were found to have a potential for liquid biofuel. In this study, therefore, our research achievements in supercritical fluid science of woody biomass will be introduced for clean and green chemistry for a sustainable en- vironment.Shiro Saka 2006Forestry Studies in China2006,8,3:5
