| 1 | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic risk factors, and hepatocellular carcinoma: An open question显示文摘Non-alcoholic liver disease(NAFLD) defines liver abnormalities ranging from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with or without cirrhosis development, occurring in the absence of significant alcohol consumption, use of teratogenic medication, or hereditary disorders.The association between NAFLD and metabolic syndrome is well documented and widely recognized.Obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), and dyslipidemia are the most common metabolic risk factors associated with NAFLD.Among the components of metabolic syndrome, current evidence strongly indicates obesity and diabetes as hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) risk factors.There is also growing evidence that suggests an increased risk of HCC in NAFLD patients, even surpassing other etiologies in some high-income countries.Epidemiologic data demonstrate a parallel rise in prevalence of obesity, diabetes, NAFLD, and HCC.As obesity and its related diseases have steadily afflicted larger populations, HCC incidence is expected to increase in the future.Pathophysiologic mechanisms that underlie NAFLD development and subsequent progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and cirrhosis(insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, oxidative stress, hepatic stellate cell activation, cytokine/adipocytokine signaling pathways, and genetic and environmental factors) appear to play a significant role in the development of NAFLD-related HCC.However, a comprehensive view of molecular mechanisms linking obesity, T2 DM, and NAFLD-related HCC, as well as the exact sequence of molecular events, is still not understood in its entirety.Good-quality data are still necessary, and efforts should continue towards better understanding the underlying carcinogenic mechanisms of NAFLD-related HCC.In this paper, we aimed to centralize the most important links supporting these relationships, focusing on obesity, T2 DM, and NAFLD-related HCC, as well as point out the major gaps in knowledge regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms behind them. | Letitia Adela Maria Streba Cristin Constantin Vere Ion Rogoveanu Costin Teodor Streba | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,14: | 15 |
| 2 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography parameters in neural network diagnosis of liver tumors显示文摘AIM:To study the role of time-intensity curve(TIC) analysis parameters in a complex system of neural networks designed to classify liver tumors.METHODS:We prospectively included 112 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)(n = 41),hypervascular(n = 20) and hypovascular(n = 12) liver metastases,hepatic hemangiomas(n = 16) or focal fatty changes(n = 23) who underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the Research Center of Gastroenterology and Hepatology,Craiova,Romania.We recorded full length movies of all contrast uptake phases and post-processed them offline by selecting two areas of interest(one for the tumor and one for the healthy surrounding parenchyma) and consecutive TIC analysis.The difference in maximum intensities,the time to reaching them and the aspect of the late/portal phase,as quantified by the neural network and a ratio between median intensities of the central and peripheral areas were analyzed by a feed forward back propagation multi-layer neural network which was trained to classify data into five distinct classes,corresponding to each type of liver lesion.RESULTS:The neural network had 94.45% training accuracy(95% CI:89.31%-97.21%) and 87.12% testing accuracy(95% CI:86.83%-93.17%).The automatic classification process registered 93.2% sensitivity,89.7% specificity,94.42% positive predictive value and 87.57% negative predictive value.The artificial neural networks(ANN) incorrectly classified as hemangyomas three HCC cases and two hypervascular metastases,while in turn misclassifying four liver hemangyomas as HCC(one case) and hypervascular metastases(three cases).Comparatively,human interpretation of TICs showed 94.1% sensitivity,90.7% specificity,95.11% positive predictive value and 88.89% negative predictive value.The accuracy and specificity of the ANN diagnosis system was similar to that of human interpretation of the TICs(P = 0.225 and P = 0.451,respectively).Hepatocellular carcinoma cases showed contrast uptake during the arterial phase followed by wash-out in the portal and first seconds of the late phases.For the hypovascular metastases did not show significant contrast uptake during the arterial phase,which resulted in negative differences between the maximum intensities.We registered wash-out in the late phase for most of the hypervascular metastases.Liver hemangiomas had contrast uptake in the arterial phase without agent wash-out in the portallate phases.The focal fatty changes did not show any differences from surrounding liver parenchyma,resulting in similar TIC patterns and extracted parameters.CONCLUSION:Neural network analysis of contrastenhanced ultrasonography-obtained TICs seems a promising field of development for future techniques,providing fast and reliable diagnostic aid for the clinician. | Costin Teodor Streba Mihaela Ionescu Dan Ionut Gheonea Larisa Sandulescu Tudorel Ciurea Adrian Saftoiu Cristin Constantin Vere Ion Rogoveanu | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,32: | 11 |
| 3 | Psychosocial stress and liver disease status显示文摘'Psychosocial stress' is an increasingly common concept in the challenging and highly-demanding modern society of today. Organic response to stress implicates two major components of the stress system, namely the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. Stress is anamnestically reported by patients during the course of disease, usually accompanied by a decline in their overall health status. As the mechanisms involving glucocorticoids and catecholamines have been deciphered, and their actions on immune cell function deeper understood, it has become clear that stress has an impact on hepatic inflam-matory response. An increasing number of articles have approached the link between psychosocial stress and the negative evolution of hepatic diseases. This article reviews a number of studies on both human populations and animal models performed in recent years, all linking stress, mainly of psychosocial nature, and the evolution of three important liver-related pathological entities: viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. | Cristin Constantin Vere Costin Teodor Streba Letitia Maria Streba Alin Gabriel Ionescu Felix Sima | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,24: | 7 |

| 5 | Role of intrahepatic innervation in regulating the activity of liver cells显示文摘Liver innervation comprises sympathetic,parasympathetic and peptidergic nerve fibers,organized as either afferent or efferent nerves with different origins and roles.Their anatomy and physiology have been studied in the past 30 years,with different results published over time.Hepatocytes are the main cell population of the liver,making up almost 80%of the total liver volume.The interaction between hepatocytes and nerve fibers is accomplished through a wealth of neurotransmitters and signaling pathways.In this short review,we have taken the task of condensing the most important data related to how the nervous system interacts with the liver and especially with the hepatocyte population,how it influences their metabolism and functions,and how different receptors and transmitters are involved in this complex process. | Letitia Adela Maria Streba Cristin Constantin Vere Alin Gabriel Ionescu Costin Teodor Streba Ion Rogoveanu | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,3: | 1 |
| 6 | B2 adrenergic receptors and morphological changes of the enteric nervous system in colorectal adenocarcinoma显示文摘AIM To study the morphology of the enteric nervous system and the expression of beta-2 adrenergic(B2A) receptors in primary colorectal cancer.METHODS In this study, we included forty-eight patients with primary colorectal cancer and nine patients for control tissue from the excision of a colonic segment for benign conditions. We determined the clinicopathological features and evaluated the immunohistochemical expression pattern of B2 A receptors as well as the morphological changes of the enteric nervous system(ENS). In order to assess statistical differences, we used the student t-test for comparing the means of two groups and one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni's post hoc analysis for comparing the means of more than two groups. Correlations were assessed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient.RESULTS B2 A receptors were significantly associated with tumor grading, tumor size, tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis(P < 0.05), while there were no statistically significant associations with gender, CRC location and gross appearance(P > 0.05). We observed, on one hand, a decrease of the relative area for both Auerbach and Meissner plexuses with the increase of the tumor grading, and on the other hand, an increase of the relative area of other nervous elements not in the Meissner plexus or in the Auerbach plexus with the tumor grading. For G1 tumors we found that epithelial B2 A area showed an inverse correlation with the Auerbach plexus areas [r(14) =-0.531, P < 0.05], while for G2 tumors, epithelial B2 A areas showed an indirect variation with both the Auerbach plexus areas [r(14) =-0.453, P < 0.05] and the Meissner areas [r(14) =-0.825, P < 0.01]. For G3 tumors, the inverse dependence increased for both Auerbach [r(14) =-0.587, P < 0.05] and Meissner [r(14) =-0.934, P < 0.05] plexuses.CONCLUSION B2 A receptors play an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis and can be utilized as prognostic factors. Furthermore, study of the ENS in colorectal cancer may lead to targeted molecular therapies. | Raluca Niculina Ciurea Ion Rogoveanu Daniel Pirici Georgica-Costinel Tartea Costin Teodor Streba Cristina Florescu Bogdan Catalin Ileana Puiu Elena-Anca Tartea Cristin Constantin Vere | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,7: | 1 |

| 13 | Focus on alcoholic liver disease:From nosography to treatment显示文摘Abusive alcohol intake currently ranks as a major cause of liver disease, and is associated with significant mortality worldwide. Alcoholic liver disease(ALD) generically defines liver abnormalities ranging from liver steatosis to the end-stages of disease such as liver cirrhosis. Information regarding the precise incidence and prevalence of ALD is still limited by a lack of large population-based studies and by the absence of large systematic reviews of all epidemiological data available. However, existing collected data show an overall increase in the number of alcohol abusers and alcoholrelated liver disease. The burden exerted on medical systems worldwide is significant, with hospitalization and management costs rising constantly over the years. A great number of all cirrhosis-related deaths in Europe and a significant percentage worldwide areassociated with alcohol consumption. The main possible risk factors for ALD are the amount and duration of alcohol abuse, patterns of drinking and the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. However, ALD does not progress to cirrhosis in all patients, therefore a series of additional factors are implicated. Even though insufficiently studied, genetic factors are generally regarded as highly important, and the presence of comorbidities and dietary habits seem to play a role in disease onset and progression. This lack of clear pathophysiological data further translates in the absence of definite treatment for ALD and shall prove challenging in the coming years. In this article, we aimed to briefly review epidemiologic data on the burden of ALD, risk factors, clinical and nosographic as well as therapeutic aspects of this disease. Without attempting to be exhaustive, this short topic highlight emphasizes each point and may serve as a general guidance tool in the complicated literature related to ALD. | Letitia Adela Maria Streba Cristin Constantin Vere Costin Teodor Streba Marius Eugen Ciurea | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,25: | 0 |
| 14 | Current strategies for malignant pedunculated colorectal polyps显示文摘Despite significant advances in imaging techniques, the incidence of colorectal cancer has been increasing in recent years, with many cases still being diagnosed in advanced stages. Early detection and accurate staging remain the main factors that lead to a decrease in the cost and invasiveness of the curative techniques, significantly improving the outcome. However, the diagnosis of pedunculated early colorectal malignancy remains a current challenge. Data on the management of pedunculated cancer precursors, apart from data on nonpolypoid lesions, are still limited. An adequate technique for complete resection, which provides the best long-term outcome, is mandatory for curative intent. In this context, a discussion regarding the diagnosis of malignancy of pedunculated polyps, separate from nonpedunculated variants, is necessary. The purpose of this review is to provide a critical review of the most recent literature reporting the different features of malignant pedunculated colorectal polyps, including diagnosis and management strategies. | Adriana Ciocalteu Dan Ionut Gheonea Adrian Saftoiu Liliana Streba Nicoleta Alice Dragoescu Tiberiu Stefanita Tenea-Cojan | 2018 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2018,10,12: | 0 |
