| 1 | 柴达木北缘超高压变质带中的岛弧火山岩显示文摘青藏高原北部柴北缘发育一套与超高压变质带并行的早古生代岛弧火山岩带,岛弧火山岩以玄武岩类为主,包括一些中酸性岩类,岩石以普遍遭受绿片岩相蚀变为特征,区别于该地区普遍遭受角闪岩相区域变质的元古代的基性火山岩。该早古生代的岛孤火山岩显示三组地球化学特征:①VTG-Ⅰ,岛弧拉斑玄武岩(IAT);②VTG-Ⅱ,高Al次钙碱性-碱性过渡型玄武岩;③VTG-Ⅲ,较N-MORB更亏损的拉斑玄武岩(异常MORB)。研究认为前两组火山岩是成熟岛弧两个发育阶段的特征性产物:洋壳俯冲到陆壳的初用,由俯冲洋壳和地幔楔的部分熔融形成岛弧拉斑玄武岩(IAT),随着俯冲板块的速度加快和岛弧周围地壳的加厚,则形成钙碱性玄武岩(CA)、高Al玄武岩。第三组火山岩形成于弧间盆地,由亏损的地幔楔高度部分熔融形成比N-MORB亏损的的火山岩(异常MORB)。岛弧火山岩的锆石LA-ICP-MS法U-Pb年龄为514.2±8.5 Ma,说明柴北缘在早古生代发生过洋壳向陆壳的俯冲作用。鉴于该地区代表陆-陆俯冲作用的柴北缘超高压变质岩石也是形成于早古生代(494Ma),认为陆-陆俯冲作用发生在洋-陆俯冲作用之后,二者时间和空间相伴随。 | 史仁灯 杨经绥 吴才来 Tsuyoshi IIZUKA Takafumi HIRATA | 2004 | 地质学报2004,78,1: | 116 |
| 2 | Risk factors for bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric lesions显示文摘AIM:To assess risk factors for bleeding after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and to develop preventive measures.METHODS:This retrospective study was performed in a tertiary referral center.A total of 328 patients underwent ESD for 398 gastric neoplasms between July 2007 and June 2009.The main outcome was association between post-ESD bleeding and the following:age;sex;comorbidities;daily use of medicine potentially related to gastric injury/bleeding;location,size,and histological depth of lesions;ulceration;experience of operator coagulating the ulcer floor,and duration of operation.We also determined the relationship between the location of post-ESD bleeding and risk factors for hemorrhage.RESULTS:Univariate analysis revealed significant risk factors:tumor location [odds ratio(OR),2.86;95% CI:1.21-6.79,P=0.024],coagulator experience(OR,4.29;95% CI:1.43-12.86,P=0.009),and medicine potentially related to gastric injury/bleeding(OR,2.80;95% CI:1.14-6.90,P=0.039).Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed significant,independent risk factors:tumor in lower third of stomach(OR,2.47;95% CI:1.02-5.96,P=0.044),beginner coagulator(OR,3.93;95% CI:1.29-11.9,P=0.016),and medicine(OR,2.76;95% CI:1.09-6.98,P=0.032).We classif ied cases of post-ESD bleeding into two groups(bleeding at the ulcer margin vs bleeding at the center) and found that bleeding at the margin occurred more frequently with beginner coagulators compared with experts(OR,16.00;95% CI:1.22-210.59,P=0.040).CONCLUSION:Beginner coagulators,tumor in the antrum,and medicines were significant risk factors for post-ESD bleeding.Bleeding at the ulcer margin frequently occurred with beginner operators. | Yosuke Tsuji Ken Ohata Takafumi Ito Hideyuki Chiba Tomohiko Ohya Toshiaki Gunji Nobuyuki Matsuhashi | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,23: | 60 |

| 4 | Laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis: How to discourage surgeons using inadequate therapy显示文摘Acute appendicitis(AA) develops in a progressive and irreversible manner, even if the clinical course of AA can be temporarily modified by intentional medications. Reliable and real-time diagnosis of AA can be made based on findings of the white blood cell count and enhanced computed tomography. Emergent laparoscopic appendectomy(LA) is considered as the first therapeutic choice for AA. Interval/delayed appendectomy at 6-12 wk after disease onset is considered as unsafe with a high recurrent rate during the waiting time. However, this technique may have some advantages for avoiding unnecessary extended resection in patients with an appendiceal mass. Nonoperative management of AA may be tolerated only in children. Postoperative complications increase according to the patient's factors, and temporal avoidance of emergent general anesthesia may be beneficial for high-risk patients. The surgeon's skill and cooperation of the hospital are important for successful LA. Delaying appendectomy for less than 24 h from diagnosis is safe. Additionally, a semi-elective manner(i.e., LA within 24 h after onset of symptoms) may be paradoxically acceptable, according to the factors of the patient, physician, and institution. Prompt LA is mandatory for AA. Fortunately, the Japanese government uses a universal health insurance system, which covers LA. | tomohide hori takafumi machimoto yoshio kadokawa toshiyuki hata tatsuo ito shigeru kato daiki yasukawa yuki aisu yusuke kimura maho sasaki yuichi takamatsu taku kitano shigeo hisamori tsunehiro yoshimura | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,32: | 18 |
| 5 | Interleukin-17 levels in Helicobacter pylori-infected gastric mucosa and pathologic sequelae of colonization显示文摘AIM: To determine the role of interleukin (IL)-17 in gastric ulcerogenesis. METHODS: Thirty-six gastric ulcer (GU) patients and 29 non-ulcer (NU) patients were enrolled in this study. Mucosal biopsy samples were obtained from the gastric antrum and GU site during endoscopy. Samples were used in in situ stimulation for 48 h in the presence of 10 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin-P (PHA), histological examination, and Helicobacter pylori(H pylori) culture. IL-17 and IL-8 protein levels in culture supernatants were assayed by ELISA. IL-17 mRNA expression was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). H pylori cagA and vacA status was assessed by reverse hybridization using a line probe assay (LiPA). IL-8 levels in culture supernatants were assayed after AGS cells were co-cultured with H pylori strain 26 695 or recombinant human (rh) IL-17. RESULTS: All 36 GU patients and 15 of 29 NU patients were found to be H pylori-positive, while 14 NU patients were H pylori-negative. All 51 H pylori strains from both GU and NU patients were cagA- and vacAs1/m1-positive. Antral mucosal tissues from H pylori-positive patients contained significantly (H pylori-positive NU patients: median 467 pg/mg/protein, range 53-2 499; H pylori-negative NU patients: median 104 pg/mg/protein, range 16-312, P<0.0005) higher levels of IL-17 than those from uninfected patients. IL-17 levels at the ulcer site were significantly (ulcer site: median 1356 pg/mg/protein, range 121-1 3730; antrum: median 761 pg/mg/protein, range 24-7 620, P<0.005) higher than those at distant sites in the antrum. Biopsies from H pylori-positive GU and NU patients showed IL-17 mRNA expression in all samples whereas those from the antrum of the H pylori-negative controls showed no detectable expression. A significant correlation was seen between IL-17 and IL-8 levels at each biopsy site (ulcer: r= 0.62, P<0.0001; antrum: r = 0.61, P<0.0001) in GU patients. RhIL-17 and H pylori strain 26 695 each stimulated IL-8 production from AGS cells. CONCLUSION: IL-17 may play an important role in the inflammatory response to H pylori colonization, and may ultimately influence the outcome of H pylori-associated diseases that arise within the context of gastritis. | Tomokazu Mizuno Takafumi Ando Kazuo Nobata Tomoyuki Tsuzuki Osamu Maeda Osamu Watanabe Masaaki Minami Kenji Ina Kazuo Kusugami Richard M.

| 6 | Cytomegalovirus infection in severe ulcerative colitis patients undergoing continuous intravenous cyclosporine treatment in Japan显示文摘AIM: To investigate active cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection following the cyclosporine A (CyA) treatment of steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (UC).METHODS: Twenty-three patients with severe UC not responding to steroid therapy (male 14, and female 9) enrolled at Nagoya University Hospital from 1999 to 2005. They received continuous intravenous infusion of CyA (average 4 mg/kg per day) for 1 mo. Serum and colonic biopsy samples were collected before CyA treatment and 4 d, 10 d, 20 d, and 30 d after treatment. Patients were evaluated for CMV by using serology (IgM antibody by ELISA), quantitative real-time PCR for CMV DNA, and histopathological assessment of hematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained colonic biopsies. CMV infection was indicated by positive results in any test. RESULTS: No patients had active CMV infection before CyA treatment. Eighteen of 23 UC patients treated with CyA were infected with active CMV (IgM antibody in 16/23 patients, 69.6%; CMV DNA in 18/23 patients, 78.2%; and inclusion bodies in 4/23 patients, 17.3%). There was no difference in the active CMV-infection rate between males and females. Active CMV infection was observed after approximately 8 d of CyA treatment, leading to an exacerbation of colitis. Fifteen of these 18 patients with active CMV infection (83.3%) required surgical treatment because of severe deteriorating colitis. Treatment with ganciclovir rendered surgery avoidable in three patients. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that active CMVinfection in severe UC patients treated with CyA is associated with poor outcome. Further, ganciclovir is useful for treatment of CMV-associated UC after immuno-suppressive therapy. | Masaaki Minami Michio Ohta Teruko Ohkura Takafumi Ando Naoki Ohmiya Yasumasa Niwa Hidemi Goto | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,5: | 13 |

| 8 | Dietary polyphenols and colorectal cancer risk:The Fukuoka colorectal cancer study显示文摘AIM:To investigate the associations between dietary intake of polyphenols and colorectal cancer. METHODS:The study subjects were derived from the Fukuoka colorectal cancer study, a community-based case-control study. The study subjects were 816 cases of colorectal cancer and 815 community-based controls. The consumption of 148 food items was assessed by a computer-assisted interview. We used the consumption of 97 food items to estimate dietary intakes of total, tea and coffee polyphenols. The Phenol-Explorer database was used for 92 food items. Of the 5 foods which were not listed in the Phenol-Explorer Database, polyphenol contents of 3 foods (sweet potatoes, satoimo and daikon) were based on a Japanese study and 2 foods (soybeans and fried potatoes) were estimated by ORAC-based polyphenol contents in the United States Department of Agriculture Database. Odds ratios (OR) and 95%CI of colorectal cancer risk according to quintile categories of intake were obtained by using logistic regression models with adjustment for age, sex, residential area, parental history of colorectal cancer, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index 10 years before, type of job, leisure-time physical activity and dietary intakes of calcium and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.RESULTS:There was no measurable difference in total or tea polyphenol intake between cases and controls, but intake of coffee polyphenols was lower in cases than in controls. The multivariate-adjusted OR of colorectal cancer according to quintile categories of coffee polyphenols (from the first to top quintile) were 1.00 (referent), 0.81 (95%CI:0.60-1.10), 0.65 (95%CI:0.47-0.89), 0.65 (95%CI:0.46-0.89) and 0.82 (95%CI:0.60-1.10), respectively (P trend = 0.07). Similar, but less pronounced, decreases in the OR were also noted for the third and fourth quintiles of total polyphenol intake. Tea polyphenols and non-coffee polyphenols showed no association with colorectal cancer risk. The sitespecific analysis, based on 463 colon cancer cases and 340 rectal cancer cases, showed an inverse association between coffee polyphenols and colon cancer. The multivariate-adjusted OR of colon cancer for the first to top quintiles of coffee polyphenols were 1.00 (referent), 0.92 (95%CI:0.64-1.31), 0.75 (95%CI:0.52-1.08), 0.69 (95%CI:0.47-1.01), and 0.68 (95%CI:0.46-1.00), respectively (P trend = 0.02). Distal colon cancer showed a more evident inverse association with coffee polyphenols than proximal colon cancer. The association between coffee polyphenols and rectal cancer risk was U -shaped, with significant decreases in the OR at the second to fourth quintile categories. There was also a tendency that the OR of colon and rectal cancer decreased in the intermediate categories of total polyphenols. The decrease in the OR in the intermediate categories of total polyphenols was most pronounced for distal colon cancer. Intake of tea polyphenols was not associated with either colon or rectal cancer. The associations of coffee consumption with colorectal, colon and rectal cancers were almost the same as observed for coffee polyphenols. The trend of the association between coffee consumption and colorectal cancer was statistically significant. CONCLUSION:The present findings suggest a decreased risk of colorectal cancer associated with coffee consumption. | Zhen-Jie Wang Keizo Ohnaka Makiko Morita Kengo Toyomura Suminori Kono Takashi Ueki Masao Tanaka Yoshihiro Kakeji Yoshihiko Maehara Takeshi Okamura Koji Ikejiri Kitaroh Futami Takafumi Maekawa Yohichi Yasunami Kenji Takenaka Hitoshi Ichimiya Reiji Terasaka | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,17: | 12 |

| 10 | Prospective randomized controlled trial investigating the type of sutures used during hepatectomy显示文摘AIM: To determine whether absorbable sutures or non-absorbable sutures are better in preventing surgical site infection (SSI), in this paper we discuss the results of a randomized clinical trial which examined the type of sutures used during hepatectomy. METHODS: All hepatic resections performed from January 2007 to November 2008 at the Department of Surgery at Iizuka Hospital in Japan were included in this study. There were 125 patients randomly assigned to an absorbable sutures (Vicryl) group or non-absorbable sutures (Silk) group. RESULTS: SSI was observed in 13.6% (17/125) patients participating in this study, 11.3% in the Vicryl group and 15.8% in the Silk group. Incisional SSI including superficial and deep SSI, was observed in 8% of the Vicryl group and 9.5% of the Silk group. Organ/ space SSI was observed in 3.2% of the Vicryl group and 6.0% of the Silk group. There were no significant differences, but among the patients with SSI, the period for recovery was significantly shorter for the Vicryl group compared to the Silk group.CONCLUSION: The incidence of SSI in patients receiving absorbable sutures and silk sutures is not significantly different in this randomized controlled study; however, the period for recovery in patients with SSI was significantly shorter for absorbable sutures. | Norifumi Harimoto Ken Shirabe Tomoyuki Abe Takafumi Yukaya Eiji Tsujita Tomonobu Gion Kiyoshi Kajiyama Takashi Nagaie | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,18: | 11 |
| 11 | Genomic characterization of esophageal squamous cellcarcinoma:insights from next-generation sequencing显示文摘Two major types of cancer occur in the esophagus: squamous cell carcinoma, which is associated with chronic smoking and alcohol consumption, and adenocarcinoma, which typically arises in gastric reflux-associated Barrett's esophagus. Although there is increasing incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma in Western counties, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC) accounts for most esophageal malignancies in East Asia, including China and Japan. Technological advances allowing for massively parallel, high-throughput next-generation sequencing(NGS) of DNA have enabled comprehensive characterization of somatic mutations in large numbers of tumor samples. Recently, several studies were published in which whole exome or whole genome sequencing was performed in ESCC tumors and compared with matched normal DNA. Mutations were validated in several genes, including in TP53, CDKN2 A, FAT1, NOTCH1, PIK3 CA, KMT2 D and NFE2L2, which had been previously implicated in ESCC. Several new recurrent alterations have also been identified in ESCC. Combining the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with information obtained from NGS studies may lead to the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for ESCC. As this research becomes more prominent, it is important that gastroenterologist become familiar with the various NGS technologies and the results generated using these methods. In the present study, we describe recent research approaches using NGS in ESCC. | Yasushi Sasaki Miyuki Tamura Ryota Koyama Takafumi Nakagaki Yasushi Adachi Takashi Tokino | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,7: | 10 |

| 13 | Characteristic endoscopic findings and risk factors for cytomegalovirus-associated colitis in patients with active ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM: To identify characteristic endoscopic findings and risk factors for cytomegalovirus(CMV)-associated colitis in patients with active ulcerative colitis(UC).METHODS: A total of 149 UC patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Nagoya University Hospital, from January 2004 to December 2013 with exacerbation of UC symptoms were enrolled in this retrospective study. All medical records, including colonoscopy results, were reviewed. CMV infection was determined by the presence of CMV antigen, CMV inclusion bodies in biopsy specimens, or positive specific immunohistochemical staining for CMV. Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for CMV colitis.RESULTS: Multivariate analysis indicated independent associations with the extent of disease(pancolitis) anduse of > 400 mg corticosteroids for the previous 4 wk. In contrast, no association was seen with sex, age at UC diagnosis, immunomodulator use, or infliximab use. Punched-out ulceration was also significantly associated with CMV infection in patients with active UC(odds ratio = 12.672, 95%CI: 4.210-38.143).CONCLUSION: Identification of a total corticosteroid dose > 400 mg for 4 wk, extensive colitis and a specific endoscopic finding of punched-out ulcer might facilitate the more rapid diagnosis and timely initiation of antiviral therapy for CMV-associated colitis in patients with active UC. | Yutaka Hirayama Takafumi Ando Yoshiki Hirooka Osamu Watanabe Ryoji Miyahara Masanao Nakamura Takeshi Yamamura Hidemi Goto | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2016,8,6: | 8 |
| 14 | Prospective controlled study on the effects of polyethylene glycol in capsule endoscopy显示文摘AIM:To prospectively confirm whether a small amount of polyethylene glycol(PEG)ingested after swallowing endoscopy capsule improves image quality and completion rate.METHODS:Forty-four consecutive patients referred to us for capsule endoscopy(CE)were randomized to two groups.All patients were restricted to clear fluids for 12 h before the examination.Patients in group A(22 cases)received no additional preparation,while those in group B(20 cases)ingested 500 mL of PEG within a 2 h period starting 30 min after swallowing the capsule.Clear fluids and meals were allowed 2 h and 4 h after capsule ingestion,respectively.Image quality was assessed as the percentage of visualized bowel surface area as follows:1:<25%;2:25%-49%;3:50%-74%;4:75%-89%;5:>90%.The small bowel record was divided into five segments by time,and the score for each segment was evaluated.All CE examinations were performed with the Pillcam SB capsule endoscopy sys-tem(Given Imaging Co.Ltd.,Yoqnem).RESULTS:This study ended in December 2009,because sample size was considered large enough.A total of 44 patients were enrolled.Two patients in group B were excluded from the analysis because small bowel images could not be obtained from these patients;one had a full stomach,while the other presented with a massive gastric bleed.Thus,22 patients from group A and 20 patients from group B completed the study.There was no significant difference in age(P=0.22),sex(P=0.31),and indication for CE.No significant adverse events occurred in any of the study patients.In group A,image quality deteriorated as the capsule progressed distally.However,in group B,image quality was maintained to the distal small bowel.In each of the five segments,the visibility score was significantly higher in group B than in group A(segment 1:4.3± 0.7vs 4.7±0.5,P=0.03;segment 2:4.2±0.9vs 4.8 ±0.4,P=0.01;segment 3:4.0±1.0 vs 4.6±0.7,P =0.04;segment 4:3.6±1.1 vs 4.5±0.6,P=0.003;segment 5:2.7±1.0vs 4.4±0.8,P=0.00004).Thus,the use of PEG during CE examination significantly improved image quality in all time segments,and this effect was more pronounced in the distal ileum.The completion rate to the cecum was not significantly different between groups A and B(81.8%vs 85.0%,P =0.89).There was no difference in the gastric transit time between groups(36.2±35.0 min vs 54.0±56.6 min,P=0.23),but the small bowel transit time was significantly longer in group A than in group B(246.0± 107.0 minvs 171.0±104.0 min,P=0.04).CONCLUSION:The ingestion of a small amount of PEG after the swallowing of an endoscopy capsule significantly improved CE image quality,but did not enhance the completion rate to the cecum. | Takafumi Ito Ken Ohata Akiko Ono Hideyuki Chiba Yosuke Tsuji Hajime Sato Nobuyuki Matsuhashi | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,15: | 7 |
| 15 | Expression of Interleukin-11 and Interleukin-11 receptor a in human colorectal adenocarcinoma; Immunohistochemical analyses and correlation with clinicopathological factors显示文摘AIM: There is strong evidence that interleukin-11 (IL-11) is involved in the regulation of tumor progression, cellular growth and differentiation. Recently, interleukin-11 receptor (IL-11R) has been detected on some cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the expression of IL-11 and IL-11R in colorectal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: To elucidate the involvement of IL-11 and IL-11Ra in human intestinal adenocarcinomas, we examined 115 cases of surgically resected human colonic adenocarcinoma and 11 cases of adenoma by immuno-histochemistry and Western blotting. RESULTS: Among 115 cases of adenocarcinoma, 100 cases (87.0%) showed positive staining in the cytoplasm of carcinoma cells for the IL-11, and 87 cases (75.6%) were positive for the IL-11Ra. Six cases (54.5%) and four cases (36.4%) of 11 adenomas were positive for IL-11 and IL-11Ra, respectively. The expression of IL-11Ra correlated with the histological differentiation (P=0.033503), the depth of tumor invasion (P=0.006395), Dukes' classification (P= 0.015648) and lymphatic invasion (P=0.003865). However, the expression of IL-11Ra was not correlated with the venous invasion and the presence of lymph node metastasis. The expression of IL-11 was not correlated with any clinicopathological factors. In Western blot analysis, two human colorectal carcinoma cell lines and four tissues of surgically resected human carcinoma expressed both IL-11 and IL-11Ra proteins. CONCLUSION: IL-11 and IL-11Ra are highly expressed in human colorectal adenocarcinoma and the IL-11Ra expression is correlated with clinicopathological factors. These findings suggest that the expression of IL-11Ra is an important factor for the invasion of human colorectal adenocarcinoma. | Kazuyuki Yamazumi Toshiyuki Nakayama Takafumi Kusaba Chun Yang Wen Ayumi Yoshizaki Yuichi Yakata Takeshi Nagayasu Ichiro Sekine | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,2: | 7 |
| 16 | Relationship between microvessel count and post-hepatectomy survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To elucidate the relationship between the microvessel count (MVC) by CD34 analyzed by immunohistochemical method and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent hepatectomy based on our preliminary study. METHODS: We examined relationships between MVC and clinicopathological factors in 128 HCC patients. The modifi ed Japan Integrated Staging score (mJIS) was applied to examine subsets of HCC patients. RESULTS: Median MVC was 178/mm^2, which was used as a cut-off value. MVC was not signif icantly associated with any clinicopathologic factors or postoperative recurrent rate. Lower MVC was associated with poor disease-free and overall survivals by univariate analysis (P = 0.039 and P = 0.087, respectively) and lower MVC represented an independent poor prognostic factor in disease-free survival by Cox’s multivariateanalysis (risk ratio, 1.64; P = 0.024), in addition to tumor size, vascular invasion, macroscopic fi nding and hepatic dysfunction. Signifi cant differences in disease-free and overall survivals by MVC were observed in HCC patients with mJIS 2 (P = 0.046 and P = 0.0014, respectively), but not in those with other scores. CONCLUSION: Tumor MVC appears to offer a useful prognostic marker of HCC patient survival, particularly in HCC patients with mJIS 2. | Atsushi Nanashima Toshiyuki Nakayama Yorihisa Sumida Takafumi Abo Hiroaki Takeshita Kenichirou Shibata Shigekazu Hidaka Terumitsu Sawai Toru Yasutake Takeshi Nagayasu | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,31: | 7 |

| 18 | Inducible nitric oxide synthase polymorphism is associated with the increased risk of differentiated gastric cancer in a Japanese population显示文摘AIM: To examine the association of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) C150T polymorphism with gastric cancer, as well as with gastric atrophy and H pylori seropositivity. METHODS: A single nucleotide polymorphism of iNOS C150T was examined for 454 Japanese health checkup examinees (126 males and 328 females) aged 35 to 85 years without a history of cancer and 202 gastric cancer patients (134 males and 68 females) aged 33 to 94 years with pathologically confirmed diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma. RESULTS: The iNOS C150T polymorphism was not associated with gastric atrophy or with H pylori seropositivity. The odds ratio (OR) of the C/T + T/T for gastric cancer was increased without statistical significance (OR=1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.68-2.08). In the differentiated subgroup (n = 113), however, the OR of the C/T genotype for gastric cancer was significant (OR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.04-3.92) relative to the C/C genotype. In addition, considering the location of gastric cancer (n = 105), there were significant differences between the controls and non-cardia group with the OR of 2.13 (95% CI: 1.08-4.18) for C/T and 1.94 (95% CI: 1.00-3.78) for C/T + T/T. CONCLUSION: The iNOS C150T polymorphism is associated with the risk of H pylori-related gastric cancerin a Japanese population. This polymorphism may play an important role in increasing the risk of gastric cancer in Asian countires with the highest rates of gastric cancer. | Yasuyuki Goto Takafumi Ando Mariko Naito Hidemi Goto Nobuyuki Hamajima | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,39: | 6 |
| 19 | Influence of Kupffer cells and platelets on ischemia-reperfusion injury in mild steatotic liver显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of mild steatotic liver on ischemia-reperfusion injury by focusing on Kupffer cells (KCs) and platelets. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into a normal liver group (N group) and a mild steatotic liver group (S group) induced by feeding a choline-deficient diet for 2 wk. Both groups were subjected to 20 min of warm ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. The number of labeled KCs and platelets in sinusoids and the blood perfusion in sinusoids were observed by intravital microscopy (IVM), which was performed at 30, 60 and 120 min after reperfusion. To evaluate serum alanine aminotransferase as a marker of liver deterioration, blood samples were taken at the same time as IVM.RESULTS: In the S group, the number of platelets adhering to KCs decreased significantly compared with the N group (120 after reperfusion; 2.9±1.1 cells/acinus vs 4.8±1.2 cells/acinus, P<0.01). The number of KCs in sinusoids was significantly less in the S group than in the N group throughout the observation periods (before ischemia, 19.6±3.3 cells/acinus vs 28.2±4.1 cells/acinus, P<0.01 and 120 min after reperfusion, 29.0±4.3 cells/acinus vs 40.2±3.3 cells/acinus, P<0.01). The blood perfusion of sinusoids 120 min after reperfusion was maintained in the S group more than in the N group. Furthermore, elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase was lower in the S group than in the N group 120 min after reperfusion (99.7±19.8 IU/L vs 166.3±61.1 IU/L, P=0.041), and histological impairment of hepatocyte structure was prevented in the S group. CONCLUSION: Ischemia-reperfusion injury in mild steatotic liver was attenuated compared with normal liver due to the decreased number of KCs and the reduction of the KC-platelet interaction. | Koichi Ogawa Tadashi Kondo Takafumi Tamura Hideki Matsumura Kiyoshi Fukunaga Tatsuya Oda Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,9: | 6 |
| 20 | MicroRNA-31 expression in colorectal serrated pathway progression显示文摘MicroRNAs have been increasingly recognized as useful biomarkers for colorectal cancers(CRC).We have recently observed that microRNA-31(miR-31)expression is associated with BRAF mutation and prognosis in CRC.Moreover,high miR-31 expression is frequently detected in sessile serrated adenomas compared with hyperplastic polyps(HPs).These results suggest that miR-31 may contribute to the progression of serrated lesions.At a follow-up colonoscopy,we observed the case of a 75-year-old man with a 7-mm flat-elevated lesion in the cecum and diagnosed the lesion as an early invasive carcinoma with serrated features.Tissue specimens were obtained from the representative areas to compare the molecular alterations in the carcinoma component with those in the HP component.Higher miR-31 expression was observed in the carcinoma component(57-fold increase)and the HP component(8-fold increase)compared with the paired normal mucosa,suggesting that miR-31 may be one of the key molecules in serrated pathway progression. | Hironori Aoki Katsuhiko Nosho Hisayoshi Igarashi Miki Ito Kei Mitsuhashi Takafumi Naito Eiichiro Yamamoto Tokuma Tanuma Masafumi Nomura Hiroyuki Maguchi Toshiya Shinohara Hiromu Suzuki Hiroyuki Yamamoto Yasuhisa Shinomura | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,34: | 5 |
