| 1 | 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 |
| 2 | Primary endoscopic approximation suture under cap-assisted endoscopy of an ERCP-induced duodenal perforation显示文摘Duodenal perforation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) is a rare complication,but it has a relatively high mortality risk.Early diagnosis and prompt management are key factors for the successful treatment of ERCP-related perforation.The management of perforation can initially be conservative in cases resulting from sphincterotomy or guide wire trauma.However,the current standard treatment for duodenal free wall perforation is surgical repair.Recently,several case reports of endoscopic closure techniques using endoclips,endoloops,or fully covered metal stents have been described.We describe four cases of iatrogenic duodenal bulb or lateral wall perforation caused by the scope tip that occurred during ERCP in tertiary referral centers.All the cases were simply managed by endoclips under transparent capassisted endoscopy.Based on the available evidence and our experience,endoscopic closure was a safe and feasible method even for duodenoscope-induced perforations.Our results suggest that endoscopists may be more willing to use this treatment. | Tae Hoon Lee Byoung Wook Bang Jee In Jeong Hyung Gil Kim Seok Jeong Seon Mee Park Don Haeng Lee Sang-Heum Park Sun-Joo Kim | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,18: | 19 |
| 3 | The association of benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract stones in adult men: A retrospective multicenter study显示文摘Objective:To examine the relationship between benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)and the presence of lower urinary tract stones.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the records of men with lower urinary tract stones who presented to three clinical centers in Korea over a 4-year period.We divided the patients into two groups based on the location of urinary stones:Group 1(bladder calculi)and Group 2(urethral calculi).We compared the characteristics of both groups and performed univariate and multivariate analyses with a logistic regression model to investigate the relationship between BPH and lower urinary tract stones.Results:Of 221 patients,194(87.8%)had bladder calculi and 27(12.2%)had urethral calculi.The mean age of Group 1 was higher than that of Group 2(68.9612.11 years vs.55.7414.20 years,p<0.001).The mean prostate volume of Group 1 was higher than that of Group 2(44.4727.14 mL vs.24.706.41 mL,respectively,p<0.001).Multivariate logistic regression showed that age(OR Z 1.075,95%CI:1.023e1.129)and prostate volume(OR Z 1.069,95%CI:1.017e1.123)were independently associated with increased risk for bladder calculi.Upper urinary tract stones and/or hydronephrosis conferred a 3-fold risk for urethral calculi(OR Z 3.468,95%CI:1.093e10.999).Conclusion:Age and prostate volume are independent risk factors for bladder calculi.In addition,men with upper urinary tract disease are at greater risk for urethral calculi,which may migrate from the upper urinary tract rather than from the bladder. | Jae Hung Jung Jinsung Park Won Tae Kim Hong Wook Kim Hyung Joon Kim Sungwoo Hong Hee Jo Yang Hong Chung | 2018 | Asian Journal of Urology2018,5,2: | 17 |
| 4 | Somatostatin adjunctive therapy for non-variceal upper gastrointestinal rebleeding after endoscopic therapy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effect of pantoprazole with a somatostatin adjunct in patients with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding(NVUGIB).METHODS:We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective database in a tertiary care university hospital.From October 2006 to October 2008,we enrolled 101 patients with NVUGIB that had a high-risk stigma on endoscopy.Within 24 h of hospital admission,all patients underwent endoscopic therapy.After successful endoscopic hemostasis,all patients received an 80-mg bolus of pantoprazole followed by continuous intravenous infusion(8 mg/h for 72 h).The somatostatin adjunct group(n=49)also received a 250-μg bolus of somatostatin,followed by continuous infusion (250μg/h for 72 h).Early rebleeding rates,disappearance of endoscopic stigma and risk factors associated with early rebleeding were examined.RESULTS:Early rebleeding rates were not significantly different between treatment groups(12.2%vs 14.3%,P=0.766).Disappearance of endoscopic stigma on the second endoscopy was not significantly different between treatment groups(94.2%vs 95.9%,P=0.696).Multivariate analysis showed that the complete Rockall score was a significant risk factor for early rebleeding(P =0.044,OR:9.080,95%CI:1.062-77.595).CONCLUSION:The adjunctive use of somatostatin was not superior to pantoprazole monotherapy after successful endoscopic hemostasis in patients with NVUGIB. | Cheol Woong Choi Dae Hwan Kang Hyung Wook Kim Su Bum Park Kee Tae Park Gwang Ha Kim Geun Am Song Mong Cho | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,29: | 15 |
| 5 | Effect of itopride, a new prokinetic, in patients with mild GERD: A pilot study显示文摘AIM: Itopride is a newly developed prokinetic agent, which enhances gastric motility through both antidopaminergic and anti-acetylcholinesterasic actions. The importance of esophageal motor dysfunction in the pathogenesis of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) makes it interesting to examine the effect of itopride on esophageal acid exposure.METHODS: The effect of itopride on esophageal acid reflux variables for 24 h was studied in 26 patients with GERD symptoms, pre-entry total acid exposure time (pH<4) of more than 5% and mild esophagitis (SavaryMiller grades Ⅰ, Ⅱ) proven by endoscopy. Ambulatory 24-h pH-metry and symptom assessment were performed after treatments with 150 or 300 mg itopride thrice a day (t.i.d.) for 30 d in random order, using an open label method.For evaluating the safety of itopride, blood biochemical laboratory test was performed and the serum prolactin level was also examined before and after treatment.RESULTS: Total symptom score was significantly decreased after treatment in 150- or 300-mg group. Itopride 300mg was significantly effective than 150 mg on decreasing the total per cent time with pH<4, total time with pH<4and DeMeester score. No serious adverse effects were observed with administration of itopride in both groups.CONCLUSION: Itopride 100 mg t.i.d, is effective on decreasing pathologic reflux in patient with GERD and therefore it has the potential to be effective in the treatment of this disease. | Yong Sung Kim Tae Hyeon Kim Chang Soo Choi Young Woo Shon Sang Wook Kim Geom Seog Seo Yong Ho Nah Myung Gyu Choi Suck Chei Choi | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,27: | 15 |
| 6 | Dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex PCR using tissue samples in rapid urease test in the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether tissue samples processed by the rapid urease test(RUT)kit are suitable for dualpriming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction(DPO-PCR)to detect Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori).METHODS:A total of 54 patients with specific gastrointestinal symptom were enrolled in this study.During endoscopy,gastric biopsy specimens were taken for histology,RUT,and DPO-PCR.DPO-PCR was performed on gastric biopsy samples and tissue samples that were analyzed by RUT at 2 separate institutes.In detecting H.pylori,the concordance rate of the DPO-PCR tests between the tissue samples that had been submitted to RUT and the gastric biopsy samples was investigated.RESULTS:H.pylori co-occurred with 76.0%(19/25)of gastric ulcers,64.3%(9/14)of duodenal ulcers,and 33.3%(4/12)of gastritis cases.H.pylori infection was found in 100%(3/3)of the patients with both gastric and duodenal ulcers.Overall,H.pylori was detected in 35 of 54(64.8%)patients.The diagnostic sensitivities of histology,RUT,and DPO-PCR were85.7%(30/35),74.3%(26/35),and 97.1%(34/35),respectively(P=0.02).The positive predictive value(PPV)of DPO-PCR was 94.4%,whereas the negative predictive value(NPV)was 94.7%.In the rapid urease test(CLOtest)-negative cases,the frequency of positive DPO-PCR and histologic results was 20.0%(7/35).The concordance rate of the DPO-PCR tests between the tissue samples from the RUT kit and the gastric biopsy samples was 94.4%(51/54).The rate of DPOPCR and silver stain positivity in the RUT-negative cases was 20.0%(7/35).CONCLUSION:In diagnosing H.pylori infection,DPO-PCR can be performed on tissue samples that have been processed by the RUT kit.Particularly,in patients with RUT-negative results,DPO-PCR on these tissue samples could be helpful in detecting of H.pylori infection. | Woo Chul Chung Sung Hoon Jung Jung Hwan Oh Tae Ho Kim Dae Young Cheung Byung Wook Kim Sung Soo Kim Jin Il Kim Eun Young Sin | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,21: | 10 |
| 7 | Ratio of metastatic lymph nodes is more important for rectal cancer patients treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the predictive value of the lymph node(LN) ratio(LNR,number of metastatic LNs/ examined LNs) for recurrence in patients with rectal cancer and to compare its applicability according to preoperative chemoradiotherapy(PCRT).METHODS:From 2000 to 2009,967 patients with metastatic LNs after curative resection for locally advanced rectal cancer were identified.Patients were categorized according to PCRT(PCRT vs No PCRT).The cut-off LNR was determined based on the p N1 vs p N2 when the recommended number of LNs was harvested.The 5-year recurrence-free survival(RFS) rates using the Kaplan-Meier method were compared according to p/yp N stage and the LNR in each group.RESULTS:Among patients with the same p/yp N stage,the 5-year RFS rate differed according to the LNR.In addition,the 5-year RFS rate was significantly different between p N and LNR groups in patients with No PCRT.In PCRT group,however,only LNR was associated with prognosis.On multivariate analysis,both p N and LNR were significant independent prognostic factors for 5-year RFS in the No PCRT group.In the PCRT group,only LNR category was found to be associated with RFS(HR = 2.36,95%CI:1.31-3.84,and P = 0.001).CONCLUSION:The LNR is an important prognostic predictor of RFS in rectal cancer patients especially treated with PCRT.Current p N categories could not discriminate between prognostic groups of RFS after PCRT. | In Ja Park Chang Sik Yu Seok-Byung Lim Yong Sik Yoon Chan Wook Kim Tae Won Kim Jong Hoon Kim Jin Cheon Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,11: | 8 |
| 8 | Exophytic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the stomach in an adult woman:A rare cause of hemoperitoneum显示文摘Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach in adults is extremely rare, with unpredictable prognosis. We present a 55-year-old woman with a gastric IMT. She experienced sudden abdominal pain 4 d previously. Physical examination showed mild abdominal tenderness in the hypogastrium, but no palpable abnormal abdominal mass. Abdominal CT showed a mass of approximately 8 cm in the gastrocolic ligament. On laparoscopic exploration, unexpected hemoperitoneum of approximately 1.5 L of blood was found, and an exophytic gastric mass of approximately 10 cm, appeared from the anterior wall of the gastric body along the greater curvature. Laparoscopy further showed that non-clotting blood in the abdominal cavity seemed to be from the gastric tumor. After conversion to open surgery for more precise evaluation of the cause of hemoperitoneum and the large friable tumor, gastric wedge resection, including the tumor, was conducted. The final diagnosis was consistent with IMT that originated from the gastric wall. | Seong-Heum Park Jong-Han Kim Byung Wook Min Tae Jin Song Gil Soo Son Seung Joo Kim Sang Woo Lee Hwan-Hoon Chung Ju Han Lee Jun Won Um | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,1: | 8 |
| 9 | Absolute monocyte and lymphocyte count prognostic score for patients with gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To measure the prognostic significance of absolute monocyte count/absolute lymphocyte count prognostic score(AMLPS) in patients with gastric cancer.METHODS:We retrospectively examined the combination of absolute monocyte count(AMC) and absolute lymphocyte count(ALC) as prognostic variables in a cohort of 299 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical resection between 2006 and 2013 and were followed at a single institution.Both AMC and ALC were dichotomized into two groups using cut-off points determined by receiving operator characteristic curve analysis.An AMLPS was generated,which stratified patients into three risk groups:low risk(both low AMC and high ALC),intermediate risk(either high AMC or low ALC),and high risk(both high AMC and low ALC).The primary objective of the study was to validate the impact of AMLPS on both disease-free survival(DFS) and overall survival(OS),and the second objective was to assess the AMLPS as an independent prognostic factor for survival in comparison with known prognostic factors.RESULTS:Using data from the entire cohort,the most discriminative cut-off values of AMC and ALC selected on the receiver operating characteristic curve were 672.4/μL and 1734/μL for DFS and OS.AMLPS risk groups included 158(52.8%) patients in the lowrisk,128(42.8%) in the intermediate-risk,and 13(4.3%) in the high-risk group.With a median followup of 37.2 mo(range:1.7-91.4 mo),five-year DFS rates in the low-,intermediate-,and high-risk groups were 83.4%,78.7%,and 19.8%,respectively.And fiveyear OS rates in the low-,intermediate-,and high-risk groups were 89.3%,81.1%,and 14.4%,respectively.On multivariate analysis performed with patient- and tumor-related factors,we identified AMLPS,age,and pathologic tumor-node-metastasis stage as the most valuable prognostic factors impacting DFS and OS.CONCLUSION:AMLPS identified patients with a poor DFS and OS,and it was independent of age,pathologic stage,and various inflammatory markers. | Wan Kyu Eo Da Wun Jeong Hye Jung Chang Kyu Yeoun Won Sung Il Choi Se Hyun Kim Sung Wook Chun Young Lim Oh Tae Hwa Lee Young Ok Kim Ki Hyung Kim Yong Il Ji Ari Kim Heung Yeol Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,9: | 6 |
| 10 | Hepatic resection vs percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma abutting right diaphragm显示文摘BACKGROUND It is usually difficult to adequately conduct percutaneous ultrasound-guided radiofrequency(RF) ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas(HCCs) abutting the diaphragm. Our hypothesis was that the subphrenic location of HCC could have an effect on the long-term therapeutic outcomes after hepatic resection and RF ablation.AIM To compare the long-term therapeutic outcomes of hepatic resection and percutaneous RF ablation for HCCs abutting the diaphragm.METHODS A total of 143 Child-Pugh class A patients who had undergone hepatic resection(n = 80) or percutaneous ultrasound-guided RF ablation(n = 63) for an HCC(≤ 3 cm) abutting the right diaphragm were included. Cumulative local tumor progression(LTP), cumulative intrahepatic distant recurrence(IDR), disease-free survival(DFS), and overall survival(OS) rates were estimated. Prognostic factors for DFS and OS were analyzed. Complications were evaluated.RESULTS The cumulative IDR rate, DFS rate, and OS rate for the hepatic resection group and RF ablation group at 5 years were '35.9% vs 65.8%', '64.1% vs 18.3%', and'88.4% vs 68.7%', respectively. Hepatic resection was an independent prognostic factor for DFS(P ≤ 0.001; hazard ratio, 0.352; 95%CI: 0.205, 0.605; with RF ablation as the reference category); however, treatment modality was not an independent prognostic factor for OS. The LTP rate was 46.6% at 5 years for the RF ablation group. The major complication rate was not significantly different between the groups(P = 0.630). The rate of occurrence of peritoneal seeding was higher in the RF ablation group(1.3% vs 9.5%, P = 0.044).CONCLUSION Although OS was not significantly different between patients who had gone hepatic resection or percutaneous RF ablation for HCCs abutting the diaphragm,DFS was better in the hepatic resection group. | Kyoung Doo Song Hyo Keun Lim Hyunchul Rhim Min Woo Lee Tae Wook Kang Yong Han Paik Jong Man Kim Jae-Won Joh | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,3: | 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 | Assessment of scoring systems for acute-on-chronic liver failure at predicting short-term mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis显示文摘AIM To assess the performance of proposed scores specific for acute-on-chronic liver failure in predicting shortterm mortality among patients with alcoholic hepatitis.METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 264 patients with clinically diagnosed alcoholic hepatitis from January to December 2013 at 21 academic hospitals in Korea. The performance for predicting short-term mortality was calculated for Chronic Liver FailureSequential Organ Failure Assessment(CLIF-SOFA), CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score(CLIF-C OFs), Maddrey'sdiscriminant function(DF), age, bilirubin, international normalized ratio and creatinine score(ABIC), Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score(GAHS), model for end-stage liver disease(MELD), and MELD-Na.RESULTS Of 264 patients, 32(12%) patients died within 28 d. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of CLIF-SOFA, CLIF-C OFs, DF, ABIC, GAHS, MELD, and MELD-Na was 0.86(0.81-0.90), 0.89(0.84-0.92), 0.79(0.74-0.84), 0.78(0.72-0.83), 0.81(0.76-0.86), 0.83(0.78-0.88), and 0.83(0.78-0.88), respectively, for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-SOFA had no statistically significant differences for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-C OFs was superior to that of DF, ABIC, and GAHS, while comparable to that of MELD and MELD-Na in predicting 28-d mortality. A CLIF-SOFA score of 8 had 78.1% sensitivity and 79.7% specificity, and CLIF-C OFs of 10 had 68.8% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity for predicting 28-d mortality.CONCLUSION CLIF-SOFA and CLIF-C OF scores performed well, with comparable predictive ability for short-term mortality compared to the commonly used scoring systems in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. | Hee Yeon Kim Chang Wook Kim Tae Yeob Kim Do Seon Song Dong Hyun Sinn Eileen L Yoon Young Kul Jung Ki Tae Suk Sang Soo Lee Chang Hyeong Lee Tae Hun Kim Jeong Han Kim Hyung Joon Yim Sung Eun Kim Soon Koo Baik Byung Seok Lee Jae Young Jang Young Seok Kim Sang Gyune Kim Jin Mo Yang Joo Hyun Sohn Heon Ju Lee Seung Ha Park Eun Hee Choi Dong Joon Kim Korean Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Study Group | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,41: | 5 |
| 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 |

| 18 | Gender differences in clinical outcomes of acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: insights from the KAMIR-NIH Registry显示文摘Background There are numerous but conflicting data regarding gender differences in outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Furthermore, gender differences in clinical outcomes with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) following PCI in Asian population remain uncertain because of the under-representation of Asian in previous trials. Methods A total of 13,104 AMI patients from Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health(KAMIR-NIH) between November 2011 and December 2015 were classified into male(n = 8021, 75.9%) and female(n = 2547, 24.1%). We compared the demographic, clinical and angiographic characteristics, 30-days and 1-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events(MACCE) in women with those in men after AMI by using propensity score(PS) matching. Results Compared with men, women were older, had more comorbidities and more often presented with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI) and reduced left ventricular systolic function. Over the median follow-up of 363 days, gender differences in both 30-days and 1-year MACCE as well as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction minor bleeding risk were not observed in the PS matched population(30-days MACCE: 5.3% vs. 4.7%, log-rank P = 0.494, HR = 1.126, 95% CI: 0.800-1.585;1-year MACCE: 9.3% vs. 9.0%, log-rank P = 0.803, HR = 1.032, 95% CI: 0.802-1.328;TIMI minor bleeding: 4.9% vs. 3.9%, log-rank P = 0.215, HR = 1.255, 95% CI: 0.869-1.814). Conclusions Among Korean AMI population undergoing contemporary PCI, women, as compared with men, had different clinical and angiographic characteristics but showed similar 30-days and 1-year clinical outcomes. The risk of bleeding after PCI was comparable between men and women during one-year follow up. | Myunhee Lee Dae-Won Kim Mahn-Won Park Kyusup Lee Kiyuk Chang Wook Sung Chung Tae Hoon Ahn Myung Ho Jeong Seung-Woon Rha Hyo-Soo Kim Hyeon Cheol Gwon In Whan Seong Kyung Kuk Hwang Shung Chull Chae Kwon-Bae Kim Young Jo Kim Kwang Soo Cha Seok Kyu Oh Jei Keon Chae Ji-Hoon Jung 无 KAMIR-NIH registry investigators | 2020 | Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2020,17,11: | 3 |
| 19 | Clinical course of ulcerative colitis patients who develop acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM To investigate the clinical course of ulcerative colitis(UC)patients who develop acute pancreatitis.METHODS We analyzed 3307 UC patients from the inflammatory bowel disease registry at Asan Medical Center from June 1989 to May 2015.The clinical course of UC patients who developed acute pancreatitis was compared with that of non-pancreatitis UC patients.RESULTS Among 51 patients who developed acute pancreatitis,13(0.40%)had autoimmune,10(0.30%)had aminosalicylate-induced,and 13(1.73%)had thiopurineinduced pancreatitis.All 13 patients with autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP)had type 2 AIP.Two(15.4%)patients had pre-existing AIP,and three(23.1%)patients developed AIP and UC simultaneously.Compared to non-pancreatitis patients,AIP patients had UC diagnosed at a significantly younger age(median,22.9 years vs 36.4 years;P=0.001).AIP and aminosalicylate-induced pancreatitis patients had more extensive UC compared to non-pancreatitis patients.All patients with pancreatitis recovered uneventfully,and there were no recurrences.Biologics were used more frequently in aminosalicylate-and thiopurine-induced pancreatitis patients compared to non-pancreatitis patients[adjusted OR(95%CI),5.16(1.42-18.67)and6.90(1.83-25.98),respectively].Biologic utilization rate was similar among AIP and non-pancreatitis patients[OR(95%CI),0.84(0.11-6.66)].Colectomy rates for autoimmune,aminosalicylate-induced,and thiopurineinduced pancreatitis,and for non-pancreatitis patients were 15.4%(2/13),20%(2/10),15.4%(2/13),and7.3%(239/3256),respectively;the rates were not significantly different after adjusting for baseline disease extent.CONCLUSION Pancreatitis patients show a non-significant increase in colectomy,after adjusting for baseline disease extent. | Jong Wook Kim Sung Wook Hwang Sang Hyoung Park Tae Jun Song Myung-Hwan Kim Ho-Su Lee Byong Duk Ye Dong-Hoon Yang Kyung-Jo Kim Jeong-Sik Byeon Seung-Jae Myung Suk-Kyun Yang | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,19: | 3 |
| 20 | Analysis on sports and recreation activity-related eye injuries presenting to the Emergency Department显示文摘AIM:To investigate the incidence and general characteristics of sports-related eye injuries in patients visiting the Emergency Department. METHODS: A cross-sectional,multi-center,observational study.Patients with an injured eye who visited the Emergency Department at one of nine hospitals in Korea were enrolled.All data were prospectively collected between March and September 2010 using a questionnaire.Eye injuries that occurred during risky sports were examined by gender and age.Additionally,the rate of open globe injuries that occurred with and without protective eyewear was examined for each activity.Continuous variables were compared using Student's t-test and categorical variables were compared using Chi-square test.RESULTS: A total of 446 patients had sports-related eye injuries.Teenagers(10-19 years old) and young adults(20-29 years old) had the most eye injuries.Eye injuries accounted for 0.2% of Emergency Department patients.Baseball was the most common cause of sports-related eye injuries,followed by soccer and hiking.Protective gear was worn by 9.4% of all patients.Patients that were 30-39 years of age had the highest rate of protective gear use,followed by patients that were 40-49 years of age.The proportion of sports-related eye injuries that were open-globe injuries was highest for soccer and hiking.CONCLUSION: Although injuries were most common in patients below the age of 10 years,these patients had the lowest rate of protective eyewear use.Injuries in adults over 40 years of age most commonly occurred during hiking,but the rate of protective eyewear use was low.Young athletes should be educated on and provided with protective eyewear and policies protective gear use should be established.For older adults,eye protection should be encouraged,especially during hiking. | Sungbae Moon Hyun Wook Ryoo Jae Yun Ahn Jung Bae Park Kang Suk Seo Sang Do Shin Kyoung Jun Song Kang Hyun Lee In Sool Yoo Jin Seong Cho Hyun Ho Ryu Tae Oh Jeong Seok Ran Yeom Young Taek Kim Sung Ok Hong | 2016 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2016,9,10: | 3 |
