| 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 | Limited endoscopic sphincterotomy plus large balloon dilation for choledocholithiasis with periampullary diverticula显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of limited endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) plus large balloon dilation (LBD) for removing choledocholithiasis in patients with periampullary diverticula (PAD). METHODS: A total of 139 patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones were treated with LBD (10-20 mm balloon diameter) after limited EST. Of this total, 73 patients had PAD and 66 patients did not have PAD (controls). The results of stone removal and complications were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the PAD and the control groups in overall successful stone removal (94.5% vs 93.9%), stone removal in first session (69.9% vs 81.8%), mechanical lithotripsy (12.3% vs 13.6%), and complications (11.0% vs 7.6%). Clinical outcomes were also similar between the types of PAD, but the rate of stone removal in first session and the number of sessions were significantly lower and more frequent, respectively, in type B PAD (papilla located near the diverticulum) than controls [23/38 (60.5%) vs 54/66 (81.8%), P = 0.021; and 1 (1-2) vs 1 (1-3), P = 0.037, respectively] and the frequency of pancreatitis was significantly higher in type A PAD (papilla located inside or in the margin of the diverticulum) than in controls (16.1% vs 3.0%, P = 0.047). CONCLUSION: Limited EST plus LBD was an effective and safe procedure for removing choledocholithiasis in patients with PAD. However, some types of PAD should be managed with caution. | Hyung Wook Kim Dae Hwan Kang Cheol Woong Choi Jong Hwan Park Jin Ho Lee Min Dae Kim Il Doo Kim Ki Tae Yoon Mong Cho Ung Bae Jeon Suk Kim Chang Won Kim Jun Woo Lee | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,34: | 26 |
| 3 | Glycyrrhizin attenuates HMGB1-induced hepatocyte apoptosis by inhibiting the p38-dependent mitochondrial pathway显示文摘AIM:To examine how high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) regulates hepatocyte apoptosis and,furthermore,to determine whether glycyrrhizin (GL),a known HMGB1 inhibitor,prevents HMGB1-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.METHODS:A human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line stably transfected with a bile acid transporter (HuhBAT cells),were used in this study.Apoptosis was quantified using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride staining and the APO Percentage apoptosis assay,and its signaling cascades were explored by immunoblot analysis.Kinase signaling was evaluated by immunoblotting and by using selective inhibitors.It is also tried to identify hepatocyte apoptosis affected by the HMGB1 inhibitor,GL.RESULTS:HMGB1 increased cellular apoptosis in HuhBAT cells.HMGB1 led to increased cytochrome c release from mitochondria into the cytosol,and induced the cleavage of procaspase 3.However,it did not affect the activation of caspase 8.HMGB1-induced caspase 3 activation was significantly attenuated by the p38 inhibitor SB203580.GL significantly attenuated HMGB1-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.GL also prevented HMGB1-induced cytochrome c release and p38 activation in Huh-BAT cells.CONCLUSION:The present study demonstrated that HMGB1 promoted hepatocyte apoptosis through a p38dependent mitochondrial pathway.In addition,GL had an anti-apoptotic effect on HMGB1-treated hepatocytes. | Geum-Youn Gwak Tae Gun Moon Dong Ho Lee Byung Chul Yoo | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,7: | 26 |
| 4 | Common bile duct stones on multidetector computed tomography:Attenuation patterns and detectability显示文摘AIM:To investigate the attenuation patterns and detectability of common bile duct(CBD) stones by multidetector computed tomography(MDCT).METHODS:Between March 2010 and February 2012,191 patients with suspicion of CBD stones undergoing both MDCT and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) were enrolled and reviewed retrospectively.The attenuation patterns of CBD stones on MDCT were classified as heavily calcified,radiopaque,less radiopaque,or undetectable.The association between the attenuation patterns of CBD stones on MDCT and stone type consisting of pure cholesterol,mixed cholesterol,brown pigment,and black pigment and the factors related to the detectability of CBD stones by MDCT were evaluated.RESULTS:MDCT showed CBD stones in 111 of 130 patients in whom the CBD stones were demonstrated by ERCP with 85.4% sensitivity.The attenuation patterns of CBD stones on MDCT were heavily calcified 34(26%),radiopaque 31(24%),less radiopaque 46(35%),and undetectable 19(15%).The radiopacity of CBD stones differed significantly according to stone type(P < 0.001).From the receiver operating characteristic curve,stone size was useful for the determination of CBD stone by MDCT(area under curve 0.779,P < 0.001) and appropriate cut-off stone size on MDCT was 5 mm.The factors related to detectability of CBD stones on MDCT were age,stone type,and stone size on multivariate analysis(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:The radiopacity of CBD stones on MDCT differed according to stone type.Stone type and stone size were related to the detectability by MDCT,and appropriate cut-off stone size was 5 mm. | Chang Whan Kim Jae Hyuck Chang Yeon Soo Lim Tae Ho Kim In Seok Lee Sok Won Han | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,11: | 24 |
| 5 | How good is cola for dissolution of gastric phytobezoars?显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of cola treatment for gastric phytobezoars,including diospyrobezoars.METHODS:A total of 17 patients(range:48 to 78 years) with symptomatic gastric phytobezoars treated with cola and adjuvant endoscopic therapy were reviewed.Three liters of cola lavage(10 cases) or drink(7 cases) were initially used,and then endoscopic fragmentation was done for the remnant bezoars by using a lithotripsy basket or a polypectomy snare.The overall success of dissolving a gastric phytobezoars with using three liters of cola and the clinical and endoscopic findings were compared retrospectively between four cases of complete dissolution by using only cola and 13 cases of partial dissolution with cola.RESULTS:After 3 L of cola lavage or drinking,a complete dissolution of bezoars was achieved in four patients(23.5%),while 13 cases(76.5%) were only partially dissolved.Phytobezoars(4 of 6 cases) were observed more frequently than diospyrobezoars(0 of 11) in the group that underwent complete dissolution(P = 0.006).Gender,symptom duration,size of bezoar and method of cola administration were not significantly different between the two groups.Twelve of 13 patients with residual bezoars were completely treated with a combination of cola and endoscopic fragmentation.CONCLUSION:The rate of complete dissolution with three liters of cola was 23.5%,but no case of diospyrobezoar was completely dissolved using this method.However,pretreatment with cola may be helpful and facilitate endoscopic fragmentation of gastric phytobezoars. | Beom Jae Lee Jong-Jae Park Hoon Jai Chun Ji Hoon Kim Jong Eun Yeon Yoon Tae Jeen Jae Seon Kim Kwan Soo Byun Sang Woo Lee Jae Hyun Choi Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu Young-Tae Bak | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,18: | 22 |
| 6 | Treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil for individuals with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM:To investigate retrospectively the long-term efficacy of various treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil(adefovir) in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.METHODS:We included 154 consecutive patients in two treatment groups:the 'add-on' group(n = 79),in which adefovir was added to ongoing lamivudine treatment due to lamivudine resistance,and the 'switch/combination' group(n = 75),in which lamivudine was first switched to adefovir and then re-added later as needed.The 'switch/combination' group was then divided into two subgroups depending on whether participants followed(group A,n = 30) or violated(group B,n = 45) a proposed treatment strategy that determined whether to add lamivudine based on the serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA levels(< 60 IU/mL or not) after 6 mo of treatment(roadmap concept).RESULTS:The cumulative probability of virologic response(HBV DNA < 60 IU/mL) was higher in group A than in the 'add-on' group and in group B(P < 0.001).In contrast,the cumulative probability of virologic breakthrough was lower in the 'add-on' group than in group B(P = 0.002).Furthermore,the risk of virologic breakthrough in the multivariate analysis was significantly lower in the 'add-on' group than in group A(hazard ratio = 0.096;95%CI,0.015-0.629;P = 0.015).CONCLUSION:The selective combination of adefovir with lamivudine based upon early treatment responses increased the odds of virologic breakthrough relative to the use of uniform combination therapy from the beginning of treatment. | Tae Jung Yun Jin Yong Jung Chang Ha Kim Soon Ho Um Hyonggin An Yeon Seok Seo Jin Dong Kim Hyung Joon Yim Bora Keum Yong Sik Kim Yoon Tae Jeen Hong Sik Lee Hoon Jai Chun Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,47: | 19 |
| 7 | Prevalence of clonorchiasis in patients with gastrointestinal disease: A Korean nationwide multicenter survey显示文摘AIM: To investigate prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, and the relation of the infection to hepatobiliary diseases in 26 hospitals in Korea.METHODS: Consecutive patients who had been admitted to the Division of Gastroenterology with gastrointestinal symptoms were enrolled from March to April 2005. Of those who had been diagnosed with clonorchiasis, epidemiology and correlation between infection and hepatobiliary diseases were surveyed by questionnaire.RESULTS: Of 3080 patients with gastrointestinal diseases, 396 (12.9%) had clonorchiasis and 1140 patients (37.2%) had a history of eating raw freshwater fish. Of those with a history of raw freshwater fish ingestion, 238 (20.9%) patients had clonorchiasis. Cholangiocarcinoma was more prevalent in C. sinensis-infected patients than non-infected patients [34/396 (8.6%) vs 145/2684 (5.4%), P = 0.015]. Cholangiocarcinoma and clonorchiasis showed statistically significant positive cross-relation (P = 0.008). Choledocholithiasis, cholecystolithiasis, cholangitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and biliary pancreatitis did not correlate with clonorchiasis.CONCLUSION: Infection rate of clonorchiasis was still high in patients with gastrointestinal diseases in Korea, and has not decreased very much during the last two decades. Cholangiocarcinoma was related to clonorchiasis, which suggested an etiological role for the parasite. | Ho Gak Kim Jimin Han Myung-Hwan Kim Kyu Hyun Cho Im Hee Shin Gwang Ha Kim Jae Seon Kim Jin Bong Kim Tae Nyeun Kim Tae Hyeon Kim Tae Hyo Kim Jae Woo Kim Ji Kon Ryu Young-Soo Moon Jong Ho Moon Sung Jae Park Chan Guk Park Sung-Jo Bang Chang Heon Yang Kyo-Sang Yoo Byung Moo Yoo Kyu Taek Lee Dong Ki Lee Byung Seok Lee Sang Soo Lee Seung Ok Lee Woo Jin Lee Chang Min Cho Young-Eun Joo Gab Jin Cheon Young Woo Choi Jae Bok Chung Yong Bum Yoon | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,1: | 15 |
| 8 | Endoscopic ultrasonography does not differentiate neoplastic from non-neoplastic small gallbladder polyps显示文摘AIM:To assess the ability of endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) to differentiate neoplastic from non-neoplastic polypoid lesions of the gallbladder(PLGs) .METHODS:The uses of EUS and transabdominal ultrasonography(US) were retrospectively analyzed in 94 surgical cases of gallbladder polyps less than 20 mm in diameter.RESULTS:The prevalence of neoplastic lesions with a diameter of 5-10 mm was 17.2%(10/58) ;11-15 mm,15.4%(4/26) ,and 16-20 mm,50%(5/10) .The overall diagnostic accuracies of EUS and US for small PLGs were 80.9% and 63.9%(P < 0.05) ,respectively.EUS correctly distinguished 12(63.2%) of 19 neoplastic PLGs but was less accurate for polyps less than 1.0 cm(4/10,40%) than for polyps greater than 1.0 cm(8/9,88.9%) (P = 0.02) .CONCLUSION:Although EUS was more accurate than US,its accuracy for differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic PLGs less than 1.0 cm was low.Thus,EUS alone is not suffi cient for determining a treatment strategy for PLGs of less than 1.0 cm. | Young Koog Cheon Won Young Cho Tae Hee Lee Young Deok Cho Jong Ho Moon Joon Seong Lee Chan Sup Shim | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,19: | 12 |
| 9 | Prognostic value of inflammation-based markers in patients with pancreatic cancer administered gemcitabine and erlotinib显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the value of systemic inflammationbased markers as prognostic factors for advanced pancreatic cancer(PC). METHODS: Data from 82 patients who underwent combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and erlotinib for PC from 2011 to 2014 were collected retrospectively. Data that included the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the C-reactive protein(CRP)-to-albumin(CRP/Alb) ratio were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS). RESULTS: The univariate analysis demonstrated the prognostic value of the NLR(P = 0.049) and the CRP/Alb ratio(P = 0.047) in relation to PFS, and a positiverelationship between an increase in inflammation-based markers and a poor prognosis in relation to OS. The multivariate analysis determined that an increased NLR(hazard ratio = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.33-5.75, P = 0.007) is an independent prognostic factor for poor OS. There was no association between the PLR and the patients' prognoses in those who had received chemotherapy that comprised gemcitabine and erlotinib in combination. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test determined significantly worse outcomes in relation to PFS and OS in patients with an NLR > 5 or a CRP/Alb ratio > 5.CONCLUSION: Systemic inflammation-based markers, including increases in the NLR and the CRP/Alb ratio, may be useful for predicting PC prognoses. | Jae Min Lee Hong Sik Lee Jong Jin Hyun Hyuk Soon Choi Eun Sun Kim Bora Keum Yeon Seok Seo Yoon Tae Jeen Hoon Jai Chun Soon Ho Um Chang Duck Kim | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,7: | 12 |
| 10 | The modulation of radiation-induced cell death by genistein in K562 cells:Activation of thymidine kinase 1显示文摘Ionizing radiation is one of the most effective tools in cancer therapy. In a previous study, we reported that protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors modulate the radiation responses in the human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)cell line K562. The receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein, delayed radiation-induced cell death, while non-recepter tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A (HMA) enhances radiation-induced apoptosis. In this study, we focused on the modulation of radiation-induced cell death by genistein and performed PCR-select suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) to understand its molecular mechanism. We identified human thymidine kinase 1 (TK1), which is cell cycle regulatory gene and confirmed expression of TK1 mRNA by Northern blot analysis. Expression of TK1 mRNA and TK 1enzymatic activity were parallel in their increase and decrease. TK1 is involved in G1-S phase transition of cell cycle progression. In cell cycle analysis, we showed that radiation induced G2 arrest in K562 cells but it was not able to sustain. However, the addition of genistein to irradiated cells sustained a prolonged G2 arrest up to 120 h. In addition,the expression of cell cycle-related proteins, cyclin A and cyclin B 1, provided the evidences of G1/S progression and G2-arrest, and their relationship with TK1 in cells treated with radiation and genistein. These results suggest that the activation of TK1 may be critical to modulate the radiation-induced cell death and cell cycle progression in irradiated K562 cells. | Min Ho JEONG Young Hee JIN Eun Young KANG Wol Soon JO Hwan Tae PARK Jae Dong LEE Yeo Jin YOO Soo Jin JEONG | 2004 | Cell Research2004,14,4: | 10 |

| 12 | Diffusion-weighted imaging of biliopancreatic disorders:Correlation with conventional magnetic resonance imaging显示文摘Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging(DWI)is a well established method for the evaluation of intracranial diseases,such as acute stroke.DWI for extracranial application is more difficult due to physiological motion artifacts and the heterogeneous composition of the organs.However,thanks to the newer technical development of DWI,DWI has become increasingly used over the past few years in extracranial organs including the abdomen and pelvis.Most previous studies of DWI have been limited to the evaluation of diffuse parenchymal abnormalities and focal lesions in abdominal organs,whereas there are few studies about DWI for the evaluation of the biliopancreatic tract.Although further studies are needed to determine its performance in evaluating bile duct,gallbladder and pancreas diseases,DWI has potential in the assessment of the functional information on the biliopancreatic tract concerning the status of tissue cellularity,because increased cellularity is associated with impeded diffusion,as indicated by a reduction in the apparent diffusion coefficient.The detection of malignant lesions and their differentiation from benign tumor-like lesions in the biliopancreatic tract could be improved using DWI in conjunction with findings obtained with conventional magnetic resonance cholagiopancreatography.Additionally,DWI can be useful for the assessment of the biliopancreatic tract in patients with renal impairment because contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance scans should be avoided in these patients. | Nam Kyung Lee Suk Kim Gwang Ha Kim Dong Uk Kim Hyung Il Seo Tae Un Kim Dae Hwan Kang Ho Jin Jang | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,31: | 8 |
| 13 | Evaluation of prognostic factors on recurrence after curative resections for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To select appropriate patients before surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),especially those with advanced tumors.METHODS:From January 2000 to December 2012,we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 298 patients who had undergone surgical resections for HCC with curative intent at our hospital.We evaluated preoperative prognostic factors associated with histologic grade of tumor,recurrence and survival,especially the findings of pre-operative imaging studies such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PETCT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).And then,we established a scoring system to predict recurrence and survival after surgery dividing the patients into two groups based on a tumor size of 5 cm.RESULTS:Of the 298 patients,129(43.3%)developed recurrence during the follow-up period.The 5 year disease free survival and overall survival were 47.0%and58.7%respectively.In multivariate analysis,a serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)level of>100 ng/m L and a standardized uptake value(SUV)of PET-CT of>3.5 were predictive factors for histologic grade of tumor,recurrence,and survival.Tumor size of>5 cm and a relative enhancement ratio(RER)calculated from preoperative MRI were also significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis.We established a scoring system to predict prognosis using AFP,SUV,and RER.In those with tumors of>5 cm,it showed predicted both recurrence(P=0.005)and survival(P=0.001).CONCLUSION:The AFP,tumor size,SUV and RER are useful for prognosis preoperatively.An accurate prediction of prognosis is possible using our scoring system in large size tumors. | Jae Hyun Han Dong Goo Kim Gun Hyung Na Eun Young Kim Soo Ho Lee Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,45: | 8 |
| 14 | Endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique for ulcerative early gastric cancer显示文摘Endoscopic submucosal dissection is an effective treatment modality for early gastric cancer(EGC), though the submucosal fibrosis found in ulcerative EGC is an obstacle for successful treatment. This report presents two cases of ulcerative EGC in two males, 73- and 80-year-old, with severe fibrosis. As endoscopic ultrasonography suggested that the EGCs had invaded the submucosal layer, the endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique was utilized for complete resection of the lesions. Although surgical gastrectomy was originally scheduled, the two patients had severe coronary heart disease, and surgeries were refused because of the risks associated with their heart conditions. The endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique procedures described in these cases were performed under conscious sedation, and were completed within 30 min. The complete en bloc resection of EGC using endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique was possible with a free resection margin, and no other complications were noted during the procedure. This is the first known report concerning the use of the endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique salvage technique for treatment of ulcerative EGC. We demonstrate that endoscopic submucosal tunnel dissection salvage technique it is a feasible method showing several advantages over endoscopic submucosal dissection for cases of EGC with fibrosis. | Hyuk Soon Choi Hoon Jai Chun Min Ho Seo Eun Sun Kim Bora Keum Yeon Seok Seo Yoon Tae Jeen Hong Sik Lee Soon Ho Um Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,27: | 8 |
| 15 | Differential diagnosis of left-sided abdominal pain:Primary epiploic appendagitis vs colonic diverticulitis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the clinical characteristics of left primary epiploic appendagitis and to compare them with those of left colonic diverticulitis.METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records and radiologic images of the patients who presented with left-sided acute abdominal pain and had computer tomography(CT) performed at the time of presentation showing radiological signs of left primary epiploic appendagitis(PEA) or left acute colonic diverticulitis(ACD) between January 2001 and December 2011. A total of 53 consecutive patients were enrolled and evaluated. We also compared the clinical characteristics,laboratory findings,treatments,and clinical results of left PEA with those of left ACD.RESULTS:Twenty-eight patients and twenty-five patients were diagnosed with symptomatic left PEA and ACD,respectively. The patients with left PEA had focal abdominal tenderness on the left lower quadrant(82.1%). On CT examination,most(89.3%) of the patients with left PEA were found to have an oval fatty mass with a hyperattenuated ring sign. In cases of left ACD,the patients presented with a more diffuse abdominal tenderness throughout the left side(52.0%vs 14.3%; P = 0.003). The patients with left ACD had fever and rebound tenderness more often than those with left PEA(40.0% vs 7.1%,P = 0.004; 52.0% vs14.3%,P = 0.003,respectively). Laboratory abnormalities such as leukocytosis were also more frequently observed in left ACD(52.0% vs 15.4%,P = 0.006).CONCLUSION:If patients have left-sided localized abdominal pain without associated symptoms or laboratory abnormalities,clinicians should suspect the diagnosis of PEA and consider a CT scan. | Jeong Ah Hwang Sun Moon Kim Hyun Jung Song Yu Mi Lee Kyung Min Moon Chang Gi Moon Hoon Sup Koo Kyung Ho Song Yong Seok Kim Tae Hee Lee Kyu Chan Huh Young Woo Choi Young Woo Kang Woo Suk Chung | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,40: | 6 |
| 16 | Inflammatory markers as selection criteria of hepatocellular carcinoma in living-donor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM:To investigate that inflammatory markers can predict accurately the prognosis of hepatocelluar carcinoma(HCC)patients in living-donor liver transplantation(LDLT).METHODS:From October 2000 to November 2011,224 patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation for HCC at our institution were enrolled in this study.We analyzed disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS)after LT in patients with HCC and designed a new score model using pretransplant neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and C-reactive protein(CRP).RESULTS:The DFS and OS in patients with an NLR level≥6.0 or CRP level≥1.0 were significantly worse than those of patients with an NLR level<6.0 or CRP level<1.0(P=0.049,P=0.003 for NLR and P=0.010,P<0.001 for CRP,respectively).Using a new score model using the pretransplant NLR and CRP,we can differentiate HCC patients beyond the Milan criteria with agood prognosis from those with a poor prognosis.CONCLUSION:Combined with the Milan criteria,new score model using NLR and CRP represent new selection criteria for LDLT candidates with HCC,especially beyond the Milan criteria. | Gun Hyung Na Dong Goo Kim Jae hyun Han Eun Young Kim Soo Ho Lee Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,21: | 6 |
| 17 | Acute mediastinitis arising from pancreatic mediastinal fistula in recurrent pancreatitis显示文摘Acute mediastinitis is a fatal disease that usually originates from esophageal perforation and surgical infection.Rare cases of descending necrotizing mediastinitis can occur following oral cavity and pharynx infection or can be a complication of pancreatitis.The most common thoracic complications of pancreatic disease are reactive pleural effusion and pneumonia,while rare complications include thoracic conditions,such as pancreaticopleural fistula with massive pleural effusion or hemothorax and extension of pseudocyst into the mediastinum.There have been no reports of acute mediastinitis originating from pancreatitis in South Korea.In this report,we present the case of a 50-year-old female suffering from acute mediastinitis with pleural effusion arising from recurrent pancreatitis that improved after surgical intervention. | In Soo Choe Yong Seok Kim Tae Hee Lee Sun Moon Kim Kyung Ho Song Hoon Sup Koo Jung Ho Park Jin Sil Pyo Ji Yeong Kim In Seok Choi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,40: | 6 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | Ampullary neuroendocrine tumor diagnosed by endoscopic papillectomy in previously confirmed ampullary adenoma显示文摘Ampullary adenoma is a common indication for endoscopic papillectomy. Ampullary neuroendocrine tumor(NET) is a rare disease for which complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice. However, because of the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical resection, endoscopic papillectomy is increasingly used in selected cases of low grade, with no metastasis and no invasion of the pancreatic or bile duct. Also, confirmed and complete endoscopic resection of ampullary NET accompanied by adenoma has not been reported to date. We report herein a rare case of an ampullary NET accompanied with adenoma, which was successfully and completely resected via endoscopic papillectomy. Prior to papillectomy, this case was diagnosed as an ampullary adenoma. | Seoung Ho Lee Tae Hoon Lee Si-Hyong Jang Chi Young Choi Won Myung Lee Ji Hey Min Hyun Deuk Cho Sang-Heum Park | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,13: | 6 |
| 20 | Correlations between endoscopic and clinical disease activity indices in intestinal Behcet's disease显示文摘AIM:To develop a novel endoscopic severity model of intestinal Behcet's disease(BD) and to evaluate its feasibility by comparing it with the actual disease activity index for intestinal Behcet's disease(DAIBD).METHODS:We reviewed the medical records of 167 intestinal BD patients between March 1986 and April 2011.We also investigated the endoscopic parameters including ulcer locations,distribution,number,depth,shape,size and margin to identify independent factors associated with DAIBD.An endoscopic severity model was developed using significant colonoscopic variables identified by multivariate regression analysis and its correlation with the DAIBD was evaluated.To determine factors related to the discrepancy between endoscopic severity and clinical activity,clinical characteristics and laboratory markers of the patients were analyzed.RESULTS:A multivariate regression analysis revealed that the number of intestinal ulcers(≥ 2,P = 0.031) and volcanoshaped ulcers(P = 0.001) were predictive factors for the DAIBD.An endoscopic severity model(Y) was developed based on selected endoscopic variables as follows:Y = 47.44 + 9.04 × non-Ileocecal area + 11.85 ×≥ 2 of intestinal ulcers + 5.03 × shallow ulcers + 12.76 × deep ulcers + 4.47 × geographicshaped ulcers + 26.93 × volcano-shaped ulcers + 8.65 ×≥ 20 mm of intestinal ulcers.However,endoscopic parameters used in the multivariate analysis explained only 18.9% of the DAIBD variance.Patients with severe DAIBD scores but with moderately predicted disease activity by the endoscopic severity model had more symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome(21.4% vs 4.9%,P = 0.026) and a lower rate of corticosteroid use(50.0% vs 75.6%,P = 0.016) than those with severe DAIBD scores and accurately predicted disease by the model.CONCLUSION:Our study showed that the number of intestinal ulcers and volcano-shaped ulcers were predictive factors for severe DAIBD scores.However,the correlation between endoscopic severity and DAIBD(r = 0.434) was weak. | Hyun Jung Lee Youn Nam Kim Hui Won Jang Han Ho Jeon Eun Suk Jung Soo Jung Park Sung Pil Hong Tae Il Kim Won Ho Kim Chung Mo Nam Jae Hee Cheon | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,40: | 5 |
