| 1 | Small sphincterotomy combined with endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation versus sphincterotomy显示文摘AIM:To compare small sphincterotomy combined with endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation(SES+ ELBD)and endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST)for large bile duct stones. METHODS:We compared prospectively SES+ELBD (group A,n=27)with conventional EST(group B, n=28)for the treatment of large bile duct stones(≥ 15 mm).When the stone could not be removed with a normal basket,mechanical lithotripsy was performed. We compared the rates of complete stone removal with one session and application of mechanical lithotripsy. RESULTS:No significant differences were observed in the mean largest stone size(A:20.8 mm,B:21.3 mm), bile duct diameter(A:21.4 mm,B:20.5 mm),number of stones(A:2.2,B:2.3),or procedure time(A:18 min, B:19 min)between the two groups.The rates of complete stone removal with one session was 85%in group A and 86%in group B(P=0.473).Mechanical lithotripsy was required for stone removal in nine of 27 patients(33%)in group A and nine of 28 patients (32%,P=0.527)in group B.CONCLUSION:SES+ELBD did not show significant benefits compared to conventional EST,especially for the removal of large(≥15 mm)bile duct stones. | Hyun Gun Kim Young Koog Cheon Young Deok Cho Jong Ho Moon Do Hyun Park Tae Hoon Lee Hyun Jong Choi Sang-Heum Park Joon Seong Lee Moon Sung Lee | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,34: | 34 |
| 2 | Gastric cancer surgery in cirrhotic patients: Result of gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection显示文摘AIM: To explore the feasibility of performing gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer patients with liver cirrhosis.METHODS: A total of 7 178 patients were admitted with a diagnosis of liver cirrhosis from January 1993 to December 2003. We reviewed the records of 142 patients who were diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and gastric adenocarcinoma during the same period. Gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for carcinoma of the stomach was performed in 94 patients with histologically proven hepatic cirrhosis.RESULTS: All but 12 patients were classified as Child's class A. Only 35 patients (37.2%) were diagnosed with cirrhosis before operation. Seventy-three patients underwent a subtotal gastrectomy (77.7%) and 21 patients (22.3%)underwent a total gastrectomy, each with D2 or more lymph node dissection. Two patients (3.8%) who had prophylactic intra-operative drain placement, died of postoperative complications from hepatorenal failure with intractable ascites. Thirty-seven patients (39.4%) experienced postoperative complications. The extent of gastric resection did not influence the morbidity whereas serum aspartate aminotransferase level (P = 0.011) and transfusion did (P= 0.008). The most common postoperative complication was ascites (13.9%) followed by wound infection (10.6%).CONCLUSION: We concluded that the presence of compensated cirrhosis, i.e. Child class A, is not a contraindication against gastrectomy with D2 or more lymph node dissection, when curative resection for gastric cancer is possible. Hepatic reserve and meticulous hemostasis are the likely determinants of operative prognosis. | Jun Ho Lee Junuk Kim Jae Ho Cheong Woo Jin Hyung Seung Ho Choi Sung Hoon Noh | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,30: | 25 |
| 3 | Nutritional risk index as a predictor of postoperative wound complications after gastrectomy显示文摘AIM:To investigate the correlation between the nutritional risk index (NRI) and postoperative wound complications.METHODS:From January 2008 through June 2008,669 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer were included in a retrospective study.Medical records of consecutive patients were collected and analyzed to determine postoperative wound complication rates.The NRI was assessed on the fifth postoperative day and other possible risk factors for the incidence of wound complications were analyzed to identify the factors affecting postoperative wound complications.Patients with other postoperative complications were excluded from the study.RESULTS:On the 5th postoperative day,the NRI showed a malnutrition rate of 84.6% among postoperative patients.However,postoperative wound complications occurred in only 66/669 (9.86%) patients.Of the patients with wound complications,62/66 (94%) belonged to the malnourished group (NRI < 97.5),and 4/66 (6%) patients to the non-malnourished group (NRI ≥ 97.5).The only factor correlated with wound complications was the NRI on the 5th postoperative day (odds ratio of NRI ≥ 97.5 vs NRI < 97.5:0.653;95% confidence interval:0.326-0.974;P=0.014) according to univariate analysis as well as multivariate analysis.CONCLUSION:This study suggests that malnutrition immediately after surgery may play a significant role in the development of wound complications. | Cheong Ah Oh Dae Hoon Kim Seung Jong Oh Min Gew Choi Jae Hyung Noh Tae Sung Sohn Jae Moon Bae Sung Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,7: | 25 |
| 4 | Outcome after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients with type 2 diabetes显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the prognosis of type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after gastrectomy and related factors in gastric cancer patients. METHODS: 403 gastric cancer patients with T2DM were studied, who underwent gastrectomy between May 2003 and September 2009. A review of medica records and telephone interviews was performed in this cross-sectional study. The factors included in the statistical analysis were as follows: gender, age, type of surgery, preoperative body mass index (BMI), current BMI, BMI reduction ratio, preoperative insulin or oral diabetic medicine requirement, follow-up duration, and current state of diabetes. Assessment of diabetes status after surgery was classified into four categories according to the change in hypoglycemic agents after surgery and present status of T2DM: resolution, improvement, same, and worse.(± 20.6 mo), preoperative BMI was 24.7 kg/m2 (± 3.0 kg/m2), and BMI reduction ratio was 9.8% (± 8.6%). After surgery, T2DM was cured in 58 patients (15.1%) and was improved in 117 patients (30.4%). According to the type of surgery, the BMI reduction ratio was signif icantly higher in the total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction group [14.2% ± 9.2% vs 9.2% ± 7.7% (Billroth Ⅱ group), P < 0.001] and signif icantly lower in the subtotal gastrectomy and Billroth Ⅰ reconstruction group [7.6% ± 8.0%, 9.2% ± 7.7% (Billroth Ⅱ group), P < 0.001]. The BMI reduction ratio, follow-up duration after surgery, type of surgery, extent of gastrectomy, and performance of duodenal bypass were signif icantly correlated to the course of T2DM (P < 0.05). The BMI reduction ratio was the most influential factor on T2DM status. In a subgroup analysis of patients with a BMI reduction ratio of 10% or less (n = 206), T2DM was cured in 15 (7.6%) patients and was improved in 57 (28.8%) patients after surgery, and only the duration of surgery was signif icantly correlated to T2DM status (P = 0.022). | Jong Won Kim Jae-Ho Cheong Woo Jin Hyung Seung-Ho Choi Sung Hoon Noh | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,1: | 16 |
| 5 | Endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer with undifferentiated-type histology:A meta-analysis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopicsubmucosal dissection(ESD) for early gastric cancer(EGC) with undifferentiated-type histology.METHODS: A systematic literature review was conducted using the core databases. Complete resection,curative resection, en bloc resection, recurrence and adverse event rate were extracted and analyzed. A random effect model was applied. The methodological quality of the enrolled studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Publication bias was evaluated using a funnel plot, the trim and fill method, Egger's test,and a rank correlation test.RESULTS: Fourteen retrospective studies between2009 and 2014 were identified(972 EGC lesions with undifferentiated-type histology). The total en bloc and complete resection rates were estimated as92.1%(95%CI: 87.4%-95.2%) and 77.5%(95%CI:69.3%-84%), respectively. The total curative resection rate was 61.4%(95%CI: 44.5%-75.9%). The overall recurrence rate was 7.6%(95%CI: 3.4%-16%).Limited to histologically diagnosed expanded-criteria lesions, the en bloc and complete resection rates were91.2% and 85.6%, respectively. The curative resection rate was 79.8%.CONCLUSION: In this analysis, ESD is a technically feasible treatment modality for EGC with undifferentiatedtype histology. Long-term studies are needed to confirm these therapeutic outcomes. | Chang Seok Bang Gwang Ho Baik In Soo Shin Jing Bong Kim Ki Tae Suk Jai Hoon Yoon Yeon Soo Kim Dong Joon Kim Woon Geon Shin Kyung Ho Kim Hak Yang Kim Hyun Lim Ho Seok Kang Jong Hyeok Kim Jin Bae Kim Sung Won Jung Sea Hyub Kae Hyun Joo Jang Min Ho Choi | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,19: | 14 |
| 6 | Role of surgical resection for multiple hepatocellular carcinomas显示文摘AIM:To clarify the role of surgical resection for multiple hepatocellular carcinomas(HCCs)compared to transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and liver transplantation(LT). METHODS:Among the HCC patients who were managed at Yonsei University Health System between January 2003 and December 2008,160 patients who met the following criteria were retrospectively enrolled:(1) two or three radiologically diagnosed HCCs;(2)no radiologic vascular invasion;(3)Child-Pugh class A;(4) main tumor smaller than 5 cm in diameter;and(5) platelet count greater than 50 000/mm3.Long-term outcomes were compared among the following three treatment modalities:surgical resection or combined radiofrequency ablation(RFA)(n=36),TACE(n=107), and LT(n=17).The survival curves were computed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with a log-rank test.To identify the patients who gained a survival benefit from surgical resection,we also investigated prognostic factors for survival following surgical resection.Multivariate analyses of the prognostic factors for survival were performed using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS:The overall survival(OS)rate was significantly higher in the surgical resection group than in the TACE group(48.1%vs 28.9%at 5 years,P<0.005). LT had the best OS rate,which was better than that of the surgical resection group,although the difference was not statistically significant(80.2%vs 48.1%at 5 years,P=0.447).The disease-free survival rates were also significantly higher in the LT group than in the surgical resection group(88.2%vs 11.2%at 5 years, P<0.001).Liver cirrhosis was the only significant prognostic factor for poor OS after surgical resection. Clinical liver cirrhosis rates were 55.6%(20/36)in the resection group and 93.5%(100/107)in the TACE group.There were 19 major and 17 minor resections. En bloc resection was performed in 23 patients,multisite resection was performed in 5 patients,and combined resection with RFA was performed in 8 patients. In the TACE group,only 34 patients(31.8%)were recorded as having complete remission after primary TACE.Seventy-two patients(67.3%)were retreated with repeated TACE combined with other therapies. In patients who underwent surgical resection,the 16 patients who did not have cirrhosis had higher 5-year OS and disease-free survival rates than the 20 patients who had cirrhosis(80.8%vs 25.5%5-year OS rate, P=0.006;22.2%vs 0%5-year disease-free survival rate,P=0.048).Surgical resection in the 20 patients who had cirrhosis did not provide any survival benefit when compared with TACE(25.5%vs 24.7%5-year OS rate,P=0.225).Twenty-nine of the 36 patients who underwent surgical resection experienced recur-rence.Of the patients with cirrhosis,80%(16/20) were within the Milan criteria at the time of recurrence CONCLUSION:Among patients with two or three HCCs, no radiologic vascular invasion,and tumor diameters≤ 5 cm,surgical resection is recommended only in those without cirrhosis. | Sung Hoon Choi Gi Hong Choi Seung Up Kim Jun Yong Park Dong Jin Joo Man Ki Ju Myoung Soo Kim Jin Sub Choi Kwang Hyub Han Soon Il Kim | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,3: | 12 |
| 7 | Comments to young surgeons concerning laparoscopic spleenpreserving D2 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer on the upper body显示文摘Qualified radical gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is very important to the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Now D2 lymph node dissection is standard procedure for gastric cancer surgery, and spleen hilar lymph node dissection is mandatory for gastric cancer in upper body. Because the anatomy of vessels in this area is very complicated, D2 lymph node dissection is technical challenging not only for open gastrectomy but also for laparoscopic one. Adapting a new technique is important to all surgeons, but we surgeons should always consider a patient's safety as the most important factor during surgery and that efforts should be based on scientific rationale with oncologic principles. I hope that the recent report by Huang et al. about laparoscopic spleen preserving hilar lymph node dissection would be helpful to young surgeons who will perform laparoscpic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. | Yoon Young Choi Ji Yeong An Woo Jin Hyung Sung Hoon Noh | 2014 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2014,26,3: | 8 |
| 8 | Clinical significance and risk factors of postembolization fever in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate tumor response and survival in patients with postembolization fever(PEF) and to determine the risk factors for PEF.METHODS:Four hundred forty-three hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients who underwent the first session of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE) between January 2005 and December 2009 were analyzed retrospectively.PEF was defined as a body temperature greater than 38.0 ℃ that developed within 3 d of TACE without evidence of infection.The tumor progression-free interval was defined as the interval from the first TACE to the second TACE based on mRECIST criteria.Clinical staging was based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor,node,metastases(TNM) classification of malignant tumors.All patients were admitted before their 1 st TACE treatment,and blood samples were obtained from all patients before and after treatment.Clinicoradiological variables and host-related variables were compared between two groups:patients with PEF vs patients without PEF.Additionally,variables related to 20-mo mortality and tumor progression-free survival were analyzed.RESULTS:The study population comprised 370(85.4%) men and 73(14.6%) women with a mean age of 62.29 ± 10.35 years.A total of 1836 TACE sessions were conducted in 443 patients,and each patient received between 1 and 27(mean:4.14 ± 3.57) TACE sessions.The mean follow-up duration was 22.23 ± 19.6 mo(range:0-81 mo).PEF developed in 117 patients(26.41%) at the time of the first TACE session.PEF was not associated with 20-mo survival(P = 0.524) or computed tomography(CT) response(P = 0.413) in a univariate analysis.A univariate analysis further indicated that diffuse-type HCC(P = 0.021),large tumor size(≥ 5 cm)(P = 0.046),lipiodol dose(≥ 7 mL,P = 0.001),poor blood glucose control(P = 0.034),alanine aminotransferase(ALT) value after TACE(P = 0.004) and C-reactive protein(CRP) value after TACE(P = 0.036) served as possible risk factors correlated with PEF.The ALT value after TACE(P = 0.021) and lipiodol dose over 7 mL(P = 0.011) were independent risk factors for PEF in the multivariate analysis.For the 20-mo survival,poor blood sugar control(P < 0.001),portal vein thrombosis(P = 0.001),favorable CT response after TACE(P < 0.001),initial aspartate aminotransferase(P = 0.02),initial CRP(P = 0.042),tumor size(P < 0.001),TNM stage(P < 0.001) and lipiodol dose(P < 0.001) were possible risk factors in the univariate analysis.Tumor size(P = 0.03),poor blood sugar control(P = 0.043),and portal vein thrombosis(P = 0.031) were significant predictors of survival in the multivariate analysis.Furthermore,the tumor progression-free interval was closely associated with CRP > 1 mg/dL(P = 0.003),tumor size > 5 cm(P < 0.001),tumor type(poorly defined)(P < 0.001),and lipiodol dose(> 7 mL,P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:PEF has no impact on survival at 20 mo or radiologic response.However,the ALT level after TACE and the lipiodol dose represent significant risk factors for PEF. | Chung Hwan Jun Ho Seok Ki Hoon Ki Lee Kang Jin Park Seon Young Park Sung Bum Cho Chang Hwan Park Young Eun Joo Hyun Soo Kim Sung Kyu Choi Jong Sun Rew | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,2: | 7 |
| 9 | Stretchable and colorless freestanding microwire arrays for transparent solar cells with flexibility显示文摘Transparent solar cells(TSCs)are emerging devices that combine the advantages of visible transparency and light-toelectricity conversion.Currently,existing TSCs are based predominantly on organics,dyes,and perovskites;however,the rigidity and color-tinted transparent nature of those devices strongly limit the utility of the resulting TSCs for realworld applications.Here,we demonstrate a flexible,color-neutral,and high-efficiency TSC based on a freestanding form of n-silicon microwires(SiMWs).Flat-tip SiMWs with controllable spacing are fabricated via deep-reactive ion etching and embedded in a freestanding transparent polymer matrix.The light transmittance can be tuned from ~10 to 55% by adjusting the spacing between the microwires.For TSCs,a heterojunction is formed with a p-type polymer in the top portion of the n-type flat-tip SiMWs.Ohmic contact with an indium-doped ZnO film occurs at the bottom,and the side surface has an Al2O3 passivation layer.Furthermore,slanted-tip SiMWs are developed by a novel solventassisted wet etching method to manipulate light absorption.Finite-difference time-domain simulation revealed that the reflected light from slanted-tip SiMWs helps light-matter interactions in adjacent microwires.The TSC based on the slanted-tip SiMWs demonstrates 8%efficiency at a visible transparency of 10% with flexibility.This efficiency is the highest among Si-based TSCs and comparable with that of state-of-the-art neutral-color TSCs based on organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite and organics.Moreover,unlike others,the stretchable and transparent platform in this study is promising for future TSCs. | Sung Bum Kang Ji-Hwan Kim Myeong Hoon Jeong Amit Sanger Chan Ul Kim Chil-Min Kim Kyoung Jin Choi | 2019 | Light(Science & Applications)2019,8,1: | 7 |
| 10 | Peer-assisted learning to train high-school students to perform basic life-support显示文摘BACKGROUND: The inclusion of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) in formal education has been a useful approach to providing basic life support(BLS) services. However, because not all students have been able to learn directly from certified instructors, we studied the educational efficacy of the use of peer-assisted learning(PAL) to train high-school students to perform BLS services.METHODS: This study consisted of 187 high-school students: 68 participants served as a control group and received a 1-hour BLS training from a school nurse, and 119 were included in a PAL group and received a 1-hour CPR training from a PAL leader. Participants' BLS training was preceded by the completion of questionnaires regarding their background. Three months after the training, the participants were asked to respond to questionnaires about their willingness to perform CPR on bystander CPR and their retention of knowledge of BLS.RESULTS: We found no statistically significant difference between the control and PAL groups in their willingness to perform CPR on bystanders(control: 55.2%, PAL: 64.7%, P=0.202). The PAL group was not significantly different from the control group(control: 60.78±39.77, PAL: 61.76±17.80, P=0.848) in retention of knowledge about BLS services.CONCLUSION: In educating high school students about BLS, there was no significant difference between PAL and traditional education in increasing the willingness to provide CPR to bystanders or the ability to retain knowledge about BLS. | Hyung Soo Choi Dong Hoon Lee Chan Woong Kim Sung Eun Kim Je Hyeok Oh | 2015 | World Journal of Emergency Medicine2015,6,3: | 6 |
| 11 | Efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC) using floxuridine(FUDR) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) confined to the liver.METHODS:Thirty-four patients who had advanced HCC with unresectability or unsuccessful previous therapy in the absence of extrahepatic metastasis were treated with intra-arterial FUDR chemotherapy at ourhospital between March 2005 and May 2008.Among the 34 patients,9 patients were classified as Child class C,and 18 patients had portal vein tumor thrombus(PVTT).One course of chemotherapy consisted of continuous infusion of FUDR(0.3 mg/kg during day 1-14) and dexamethasone(10 mg on day 1,4,7 and 11),and this treatment was repeated every 28 d.RESULTS:Two patients(5.9%) displayed a complete response,and 12 patients(35.3%) had a partial response.The tumor control rate was 61.8%.The median overall survival times were 15.3 mo,12.4 mo and 4.3 mo for the patients who were classified as Child class A,Child class B and Child class C,respectively(P = 0.0392).The progression-free survival was 12.9 mo,7.7 mo and 2.6 mo for the patients who were classified as Child class A,Child class B and Child class C,respectively(P = 0.0443).The cumulative survival differed significantly according to the Child-Pugh classification and the presence of PVTT.In addition to hepatic reserve capacity and PVTT,the extent of HCC was an independent factor in determining a poor prognosis.The most common adverse reactions to HAIC were mucositis,diarrhea and peptic ulcer disease,but most of these complications were improved by medical treatment and/or a delay of HAIC.CONCLUSION:The present study demonstrates that intra-arterial FUDR chemotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for advanced HCC that is recalcitrant to other therapeutic modalities,even in patients with advanced cirrhosis. | Yang Hyun Baek Kyoung Tae Kim Sung Wook Lee Jin Sook Jeong Byeong Ho Park Kyung Jin Nam Jin Han Cho Young Hoon Kim Young Hoon Roh Hyung Sik Lee Young Min Choi Sang Young Han | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,26: | 6 |
| 12 | Is the AIM65 score useful in predicting outcomes in peptic ulcer bleeding?显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the applicability of AIMS65 scores in predicting outcomes of peptic ulcer bleeding.METHODS:This was a retrospective study in a single center between January 2006 and December 2011.We enrolled 522 patients with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage who visited the emergency room.Highrisk patients were regarded as those who had rebleeding within 30 d from the first endoscopy as well as those who died within 30 d of visiting the Emergency room.A total of 149 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were analysed,and the AIMS65 score was used to retrospectively predict the high-risk patients.RESULTS:A total of 149 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding were analysed.The poor outcome group comprised 28 patients[male:23(82.1%)vs female:5(10.7%)]while the good outcome group included 121patients[male:93(76.9%)vs female:28(23.1%)].The mean age in each group was not significantly different.The mean serum albumin levels in the poor outcome group were slightly lower than those in the good outcome group(P=0.072).For the prediction of poor outcome,the AIMS65 score had a sensitivity of35.5%(95%CI:27.0-44.8)and a specificity of 82.1%(95%CI:63.1-93.9)at a score of 0.The AIMS65 score was insufficient for predicting outcomes in peptic ulcer bleeding(area under curve=0.571;95%CI:0.49-0.65).CONCLUSION:The AIMS65 score may therefore not be suitable for predicting clinical outcomes in peptic ulcer bleeding.Low albumin levels may be a risk factor associated with high mortality in peptic ulcer bleeding. | Sung Hoon Jung Jung Hwan Oh Hye Yeon Lee Joon Won Jeong Se Eun Go Chan Ran You Eun Jung Jeon Sang Wook Choi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,7: | 6 |
| 13 | Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with coronary artery disease in Koreans显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)affects coronary artery disease(CAD)and identify candidate mediators.METHODS:Patients who underwent coronary angiography were consecutively recruited.The patients were classified into four groups by coronary artery stenosis:A,insignificant;B,one-vessel disease;C,two-vessel disease;and D,three-vessel disease.Abdominal ultrasonography was performed to determine the presence of a fatty liver and categorize by grade:0,no evidence;1,mild;2,moderate;and 3,severe.We measured not only known CAD risk factors,but also serum insulin,HOMA-index,adiponectin,interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor-αand high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels.RESULTS:Of the 134 patients who met the inclusion criteria,82(61.2%)had ultrasonographically diagnosed NAFLD.Among the 46 patients with CAD,37(80.4%)had evidence of a fatty liver.The two groups(A vs B-D)were significantly different in terms of age,total cholesterol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein levels and fatty liver.Coronary artery stenosis was strongly associated with fatty liver in a grade-dependent manner(P=0.025).In binary logistic regression,NAFLD was a significant independent predictor of CAD(P=0.03,OR=1.685;95%CI:1.051-2.702).Among the candidate mediators,the serum adiponectin level showed a trend toward lowering based on CAD progression(P=0.071).CONCLUSION:NAFLD is an independent risk factor for CAD in a grade-dependent manner.Moreover,adiponectin might be related to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. | Dae Hee Choi Sung Joon Lee Chang Don Kang Myoung Ok Park Dong Wook Choi Tae Suk Kim Wonho Lee Byung Ryul Cho Yong Hoon Kim Bong-ki Lee Dong Ryeol Ryu Ji Won Lee | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,38: | 5 |
| 14 | Decellularized sciatic nerve matrix as a biodegradable conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration显示文摘The use of autologous nerve grafts remains the gold standard for treating nerve defects, but current nerve repair techniques are limited by donor tissue availability and morbidity associated with tissue loss. Recently, the use of conduits in nerve injury repair, made possible by tissue engineering, has shown therapeutic potential. We manufactured a biodegradable, collagen-based nerve conduit containing decellularized sciatic nerve matrix and compared this with a silicone conduit for peripheral nerve regeneration using a rat model. The collagen-based conduit contains nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and laminin, as demonstrated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the collagen-based conduit had an outer wall to prevent scar tissue infiltration and a porous inner structure to allow axonal growth. Rats that were implanted with the collagen-based conduit to bridge a sciatic nerve defect experienced significantly improved motor and sensory nerve functions and greatly enhanced nerve regeneration compared with rats in the sham control group and the silicone conduit group. Our results suggest that the biodegradable collagen-based nerve conduit is more effective for peripheral nerve regeneration than the silicone conduit. | Jongbae Choi Jun Ho Kim Ji Wook Jang Hyun Jung Kim Sung Hoon Choi Sung Won Kwon | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,10: | 5 |
| 15 | Acute idiopathic pancreatitis in pregnancy:A case study显示文摘Acute pancreatitis during pregnancy is a rare event,and can be associated with high maternal mortality and fetal loss.Gallstone disease is thought to be the most common causative factor of acute pancreatitis,but,in many cases,the cause remains unclear.We report a case of a 36-year-old woman at 35 wk of gestation,who presented with severe pain confined to the upper abdomen and radiating to the back.The patient was diagnosed with acute idiopathic pancreatitis,which was managed conservatively;she recovered within several days and then delivered a healthy baby.Therefore it is important to consider acute pancreatitis when a pregnant woman presents with upper abdominal pain,nausea and vomiting in order to improve fetal and maternal outcomes for patients with acute pancreatitis. | Ji Yeon Kim Sung Hoon Jung Hyung Wook Choi Dong Jin Song Cheol Yoon Jeong Dong Hyun Lee Il Soon Whang | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,43: | 4 |
| 16 | Glucose metabolism and neurogenesis in the gerbil hippocampus after transient forebrain ischemia显示文摘Recent evidence exists that glucose transporter 3(GLUT3) plays an important role in the energy metabolism in the brain.Most previous studies have been conducted using focal or hypoxic ischemia models and have focused on changes in GLUT3 expression based on protein and m RNA levels rather than tissue levels.In the present study,we observed change in GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the adult gerbil hippocampus at various time points after 5 minutes of transient forebrain ischemia.In the sham-operated group,GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA1 region was weak,in the pyramidal cells of the CA1 region increased in a time-dependent fashion 24 hours after ischemia,and in the hippocampal CA1 region decreased significantly between 2 and 5 days after ischemia,with high level of GLUT3 immunoreactivity observed in the CA1 region 10 days after ischemia.In a double immunofluorescence study using GLUT3 and glial-fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP),we observed strong GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the astrocytes.GLUT3 immunoreactivity increased after ischemia and peaked 7 days in the dentate gyrus after ischemia/reperfusion.In a double immunofluorescence study using GLUT3 and doublecortin(DCX),we observed low level of GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the differentiated neuroblasts of the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus after ischemia.GLUT3 immunoreactivity in the sham-operated group was mainly detected in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus.These results suggest that the increase in GLUT3 immunoreactivity may be a compensatory mechanism to modulate glucose level in the hippocampal CA1 region and to promote adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. | Dae Young Yoo Kwon Young Lee Joon Ha Park Hyo Young Jung Jong Whi Kim Yeo Sung Yoon Moo-Ho Won Jung Hoon Choi In Koo Hwang | 2016 | Neural Regeneration Research2016,11,8: | 4 |
| 17 | Bevacizumab as a second- or later-line of treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To determine the efficacy of bevacizumab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (MCRC) who have failed prior chemotherapy without bevacizumab. METHODS: Between March 2002 and June 2010, 40 patients in South Korea with MCRC who were treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy as a second or later-line treatment were analyzed retrospectively for their overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). The tumor responses were assessed using the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) guidelines. RESULTS: All of the patients had progressed under prior chemotherapy without bevacizumab. Three patients (7.5%) exhibited an ORR, twenty one patients (52.5%) exhibited stable disease (SD), and fifteen patients (37.5%) exhibited disease progression. The median duration of the OS and PFS were 14.0 and 6.13 mo respectively. The median OSs were 16.60, 14.07 and 13.00 mo for second-line, third-line and fourth- or later-line treatments, respectively. The median PFSs were 7.23, 7.30 and 3.87 mo for the second-line, third-line and fourth- or later-line treatments, respectively. CONCLUSION: In patients with MCRC, bevacizumab combined chemotherapy may be beneficial during second- or later-line treatment. | Lee Chun Park Ho Sup Lee Seong Hoon Shin Seun Ja Park Moo In Park Sung Yong Oh Hyuk Chan Kwon Jin ho Baek Young Jin Choi Myoung Joo Kang Yang Soo Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,10: | 3 |

| 20 | Prognostic value of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in resectable colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM:To assess the prognostic value of preoperative 18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography(FDG-PET)/computed tomography(CT) in patients with resectable colorectal cancer.METHODS:One hundred sixty-three patients with resectable colorectal cancer who underwent FDG-PET/CT before surgery were included.Patient data including pathologic stage at presentation,histology,treatment,disease-free survival and the maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax) of the primary tumor on FDG-PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed.Median follow up duration was 756(range,419-1355).The primary end point was disease-free survival.RESULTS:Twenty-five of 163 patients(15.3%) had recurrences.The median SUVmax values of the recurrence and no-recurrence groups were 8.9(range,5-24) and 8.2(range,0-23,P = 0.998).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis showed no significant association between SUVmax and recurrence(area under the curve = 0.5,P = 0.998,95% CI:0.389-0.611).Because a statistically significant value was not found,SUVmax was dichotomized at its median of 8.6.The disease-free survival curve was analyzed using the median SUVmax(8.6) as the cut off.Univariate and multivariate analysis did not provide evidence that disease-free survival rates for the subgroups defined by the median SUVmax were significantly different(P = 0.52,P = 0.25).CONCLUSION:Our study suggests that the high FDG uptake of primary mass in resectable colorectal cancer doesn't have a significant relationship with tumor recurrence and disease-free survival. | Jang Eun Lee Sang Woo Kim Jin Su Kim Kyu Yong Choi Won Kyung Kang Seong Taek Oh Ie Ryung Yoo Sung Hoon Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,36: | 3 |
