| 1 | Influence of hepatitis viruses on clinico-pathological profiles and long-term outcome in patients undergoing surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘BACKGROUND: The global risk of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is largely due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections. In recent years, however, an increased prevalence of non-viral HCC has been noted. The clinical impact of the presence/absence of viral infections in HCC remains controversial. The present study aimed to assess the effect of hepatitis viruses on demographics, clinical and pathological features and long-term outcome in a large cohort of Romanian patients who underwent surgery for HCC. METHODS: The study included 404 patients with HCC who had undergone resection, transplantation or radiofrequency ablation at a single institution between 2001 and 2010. The patients were divided into four groups: 85 patients with hepatitis B virus infection (HBV group), 164 patients with hepatitis C virus infection (HCV group), 39 patients with hepatitis B and C virus co-infection (HBCV group), and 116 patients without viral infection (non-BC group). RESULTS: The patients of both HBV (56.0±11.3 years) and HBCV groups (56.0±9.9 years) were significantly younger than those of the HCV (61.0±8.5 years, P=0.001) and non-BC groups(61.0±13.0 years, P=0.002). Interestingly, the prevalence of liver cirrhosis was significantly lower in the non-BC group (47%)than in any other subsets (72%-90%, P<0.002). Furthermore, the non-BC patients were more advanced according to the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stages than the patients of the HCV or HBCV groups (P<0.020); accordingly, they were more frequently assessed beyond the Milan criteria than any other groups (P=0.001). No significant differences in the disease-free or overall survival rates were observed among these groups. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with non-viral HCC are diagnosed at advanced ages and stages, a situation plausibly due to the poor effectiveness of cancer surveillance in community practice. The presence of viral infections does not appear to impair the longterm prognosis after surgical treatment in patients with HCC; however, there is a trend for worse disease-free survival rates in HBCV patients, though statistical significance was not reached. | Anna-Maria Tanase Traian Dumitrascu Simona Dima Razvan Grigorie Agnes Marchio Pascal Pineau Irinel Popescu | 2014 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2014,13,2: | 7 |

| 4 | High plasma levels of COL10A1 are associated with advanced tumor stage in gastric cancer patients显示文摘BACKGROUND Gastric cancer(GC)remains an aggressive malignancy with a high rate of mortality,being the third leading cause of cancer-related death.More than one million newly diagnosed cases and 782685 deaths due to GC were reported in 2018.GC is characterized by limited effective treatment options and the lack of consistent biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of these patients.The discovery of new biomarkers useful in the early diagnosis of GC is mandatory.AIM To evaluate the potential of COL10A1 as a circulating biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma patients.METHODS Plasma and tissue obtained from 49 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma have been used in exploring the expression of COL10A1.Real-time PCR and western blot techniques were used to evaluate COL10A1 level in gastric tumor tissue compared to normal adjacent tissue.The circulating level of COL10A1 was also evaluated by ELISA in plasma of gastric adenocarcinoma patients.Survival analysis was made in order to evaluate the potential of COL10A1 as a biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma patients.RESULTS Our results showed a significant increase in COL10A1 gene expression and protein levels in gastric tumor tissue compared to adjacent normal tissue(P<0.05).COL10A1 seems to show an elevated expression from the beginning of carcinogenesis,in the early stages,and its increased level remains elevated during cancer progression.A significant increase of COL10A1 plasma level in gastric adenocarcinoma patients was also identified.Moreover,increased COL10A1 plasma level was associated with poor survival of the patients.Plasma COL10A1 performed a diagnostic value in GC with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of 0.9171(P=0.0002),sensitivity of 87.76%,and specificity of 100.0%.Furthermore,this study demonstrated the potential role of plasma COL10A1 in the early detection of GC,as in the early stage,we obtained an AUC of 0.8789(P=0.0030),sensitivity of 81.25%,and specificity of 100.0%.CONCLUSION Circulating expression level of COL10A1 is significantly increased in gastric adenocarcinoma patients being associated with poor survival and is a potential biomarker for early detection of GC. | Laura Necula Lilia Matei Denisa Dragu Ioana Pitica Ana Iulia Neagu Coralia Bleotu Simona Dima Irinel Popescu Carmen C Diaconu Mihaela Chivu-Economescu | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,22: | 1 |
| 5 | High perioperative lactate levels and decreased lactate clearance are associated with increased incidence of posthepatectomy liver failure显示文摘To the Editor:Extensive liver resection represents a life-saving intervention in patients with primary or secondary liver tumors.Recent advances made in the field of chemotherapy and surgical techniques have translated into a greater number of patients who are older and with more complex comorbidities presenting for major liver surgery[1]and thus having an increased risk of perioperative mortality. | Mihai Popescu Simona Dima Vladislav Brasoveanu Andrada Tudor Mihai Simionescu Dana Tomescu | 2021 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2021,20,6: | 1 |

| 8 | Male gender and increased body mass index independently predicts clinically relevant morbidity after spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy显示文摘AIM To identify risk factors for clinically relevant complications after spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy(SPDP). No previous studies explored potential predictors of morbidity after SPDP.METHODS The data of 41 patients who underwent a SPDP in a single surgical center between 2000 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained electronic database established in our Department of Surgery. The database included demographic, clinical, bioumoral, pathological, intraoperative and postoperative parameters. Uni-and multivariate ana-lyses were performed to assess potential predictors of clinically relevant morbidity. Postoperative morbidity was defined as in-hospital complications and mortality was assessed at 90 d. Clinically relevant morbidity was defined as complication ≥ grade 2 Dindo.RESULTS Overall morbidity rate was 34.1%(14 patients): grade Ⅰ(6 patients, 14.6%), grade Ⅱ(2 patients, 4.8%), grade Ⅲa(1 patient, 2.4%), and grade Ⅲb(5 patients, 12.2%). A number of 5 patients(12.2%) required re-laparotomy for postoperative complications. There was no postoperative mortality. Thus, at least one clinically relevant complication occurred in 8 patients(19.5%). Univariate analysis identified male gender(P = 0.034), increased body mass index(P = 0.002) and neuroendocrine pathology(P = 0.013) as statistically significant risk factors. Multivariate analysis identified male gender [odds ratio(OR): 1.29, 95%CI: 1.07-1.55, P = 0.005] and increased body mass index(OR: 23.18, 95%CI: 1.72-310.96, P = 0.018) as the only independent risk factors of clinically relevant morbidity after SPDP.CONCLUSION Male gender and increased body mass index are independently associated with increased risk of clinically relevant morbidity after SPDP. These findings may assist a surgeon in clinical decision-making to better select patients suitable for SPDP. | Traian Dumitrascu Mihai Eftimie ANDra Aiordachioae Cezar Stroescu Simona Dima Mihnea Ionescu Irinel Popescu | 2018 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2018,10,8: | 0 |
| 9 | Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration pancreatic adenocarcinoma samples yield adequate DNA for next-generation sequencing:A cohort analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Genetic tests are increasingly performed for the management of unresectable pancreatic cancer.For genotyping aimed samples current guidelines recommend using core specimens,although based on moderate quality evidence.However,in clinical practice among the endoscopic ultrasound(EUS) guided tissue acquisition methods,fine needle aspiration(FNA) is the most widely performed.AIM To assess the adequacy for next generation sequencing(NGS) of the DNA yielded from EUS-FNA pancreatic adenocarcinoma(PDAC) samples.METHODS Between November 2018 and December 2021,105 patients with PDAC confirmed by EUS-FNA were included in the study at our tertiary gastroenterology center.Either 22 gauge(G) or 19G FNA needles were used.One pass was dedicated to DNA extraction.DNA concentration and purity(A260/280,A260/230) were assessed by spectrophotometry.We assessed the differences in DNA parameters according to needle size and tumor characteristics(size,location) and the adequacy of the extracted DNA for NGS(defined as A260/280 ≥ 1.7,and DNA yield:≥ 10 ng for amplicon based NGS,≥ 50 ng for whole exome sequencing [WES],≥ 100 ng for whole genome sequencing [WGS]) by analysis of variance and ttest respectively.Moreover,we compared DNA purity parameters across the different DNA yield categories.RESULTS Our cohort included 49% male patients,aged 67.02 ± 8.38 years.The 22G needle was used in 71%of the cases.The DNA parameters across our samples varied as follows:DNA yield:1289 ng(inter quartile range:534.75-3101),A260/280 = 1.85(1.79-1.86),A260/230 = 2.2(1.72-2.36).DNA yield was > 10 ng in all samples and > 100 ng in 93% of them(one sample < 50 ng).There were no significant differences in the concentration and A260/280 between samples by needle size.Needle size was the only independent predictor of A260/230 which was higher in the 22G samples(P =0.038).NGS adequacy rate was 90% for 19G samples regardless of NGS type,and for 22G samples it reached 89% for WGS adequacy and 91% for WES and amplicon based NGS.Samples with DNA yield > 100 ng had significantly higher A260/280(1.89 ± 0.32 vs 1.34 ± 0.42,P = 0.013).Tumor characteristics were not corelated with the DNA parameters.CONCLUSION EUS-FNA PDAC samples yield DNA adequate for subsequent NGS.DNA amount was similar between 22G and 19G FNA needles.DNA purity parameters may vary indirectly with needle size. | Stefania Bunduc Bianca Varzaru Razvan Andrei Iacob Andrei Sorop Ioana Manea Andreea Spiridon Raluca Chelaru Adina Emilia Croitoru Gabriel Becheanu Mona Dumbrava Simona Dima Irinel Popescu Cristian Gheorghe | 2023 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2023,29,18: | 0 |
