| 2 | Clinical advantages of single port laparoscopic hepatectomy显示文摘AIM To evaluate the clinical advantages of single-port laparoscopic hepatectomy(SPLH) compare to multiport laparoscopic hepatectomy(MPLH).METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 246 patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection between January 2008 and December 2015 at our hospital. We divided the surgical technique into two groups; SPLH and MPLH. We performed laparoscopic liver resection for both benign and malignant disease. Major hepatectomy such as right and left hepatectomy was also done with sufficient disease-free margin. The operative time, the volume of blood loss, transfusion rate, and the conversion rate to MPLH or open surgery was evaluated. The post-operative parameters included the meal start date after operation, the number of postoperative days spent in the hospital, and surgical complications was also evaluated.RESULTS Of the 246 patients, 155 patients underwent SPLH and 91 patients underwent MPLH. Conversion rate was 22.6% in SPLH and 19.8% in MPLH(P = 0.358). We performed major hepatectomy, which was defined as resection of more than 2 sections, in 13.5% of patients in the SPLH group and in 13.3% of patients in the MPLH group(P = 0.962). Mean operative timewas 136.9 ± 89.2 min in the SPLH group and 231.2 ± 149.7 min in the MPLH group(P < 0.001). The amount of blood loss was 385.1 ± 409.3 m L in the SPLH group and 559.9 ± 624.9 m L in the MPLH group(P = 0.016). The safety resection margin did not show a significant difference(0.84 ± 0.84 cm in SPLH vs 1.04 ± 1.22 cm in MPLH, P = 0.704). Enteral feeding was started earlier in the SPLH group(1.06 ± 0.27 d after operation) than in the MPLH group(1.63 ± 1.27 d)(P < 0.001). The mean hospital stay after operation was non-significantly shorter in the SPLH group than in the MPLH group(7.82 ± 2.79 d vs 7.97 ± 3.69 d, P = 0.744). The complication rate was not significantly different(P = 0.397) and there was no major perioperative complication or mortality case in both groups. CONCLUSION Single-port laparoscopic liver surgery seems to be a feasible approach for various kinds of liver diseases. | Jae Hyun Han Young Kyoung You Ho Joong Choi Tae Ho Hong Dong Goo Kim | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,3: | 9 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Isolation of cabbage exosome-like nanovesicles and investigation of their biological activities in human cells显示文摘There are extensive studies on the applications of extracellular vesicles(EVs)produced in cell culture for therapeutic drug development.However,large quantities of EVs are needed for in vivo applications,which requires high production costs and time.Thus,the development of new EV sources is essential to facilitate their use.Accordingly,plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles are an emerging alternative for culture-derived EVs.Until now,however,few studies have explored their biological functions and uses.Therefore,it is necessary to elucidate biological activities of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles and harness vesicles for biomedical applications.Herein,cabbage and red cabbage were used as nanovesicle sources owing to their easy cultivation.First,an efficient method for nanovesicle isolation from cabbage(Cabex)and red cabbage(Rabex)was developed.Furthermore,isolated nanovesicles were characterized,and their biological functions were assessed.Both Cabex and Rabex promoted mammalian cell proliferation and,interestingly,suppressed inflammation in immune cells and apoptosis in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts.Finally,therapeutic drugs were encapsulated in Cabex or Rabex and successfully delivered to human cells,demonstrating the potential of these vesicles as alternative drug delivery vehicles.Overall,the current results provide strong evidence for the wide application of Cabex and Rabex as novel therapeutic biomaterials. | Jae Young You Su Jin Kang Won Jong Rhee | 2021 | Bioactive Materials2021,6,12: | 7 |
| 5 | Factors associated with significant liver fibrosis assessed using transient elastography in general population显示文摘AIM: To investigate the prevalence of significant liver fibrosis assessed using transient elastography(TE) and its predictors in asymptomatic general population.METHODS: A total of 159 subjects without chronic viral hepatitis who underwent comprehensive medical health check-up between January 2012 and July 2012 were prospectively recruited. Significant liver fibrosis was defined as liver stiffness value > 7.0 k Pa.RESULTS: The mean age and body mass index(BMI) of the study population(men 54.7%) was 56.0 years and 24.3 kg/m2. Among the study subjects, 11(6.9%) showed significant liver fibrosis. On univariate analysis, BMI, alanine aminotransferase(ALT), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, carotid intimal media thickness(IMT), number of calcified plaques on carotid ultrasound, and visceral fat area on computed tomography were significantly higher in subjects with significant liver fibrosis than in those without(all P < 0.05). However, on multivariate analysis, BMI [odds ratio(OR) =1.487; P = 0.045], ALT(OR = 1.078; P = 0.014), carotid IMT(OR = 3.244; P = 0.027), and the number of calcified carotid plaques(OR = 1.787; P = 0.031) were independent predictors of significant liver fibrosis. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of significant liver fibrosis assessed using TE was 6.9% in apparently healthy subjects. High BMI, high ALT, thicker carotid IMT, and higher numbers of calcified carotid plaqueswere independently associated with the presence of significant liver fibrosis. | Seng Chan You Kwang Joon Kim Seung Up Kim Beom Kyung Kim Jun Yong Park Do Young Kim Sang Hoon Ahn Won Jae Lee Kwang-Hyub Han | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,4: | 7 |
| 6 | Outcome of transarterial chemoembolization-based multi-modal treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)-based multimodal treatment in patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS:A total of 146 consecutive patients were included in the analysis,and their medical records and radiological data were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS:In total,119 patients received TACE-based multi-modal treatments,and the remaining 27 received conservative management.Overall survival(P<0.001)and objective tumor response(P=0.003)were significantly better in the treatment group than in the conservative group.After subgroup analysis,survival benefits were observed not only in the multi-modal treatment group compared with the TACE-only group(P=0.002)but also in the surgical treatment group compared with the loco-regional treatment-only group(P<0.001).Multivariate analysis identified tumor stage(P<0.001)and tumor type(P=0.009)as two independent pre-treatment factors for survival.After adjusting for significant pre-treatment prognostic factors,objective response(P<0.001),surgical treatment(P=0.009),and multi-modal treatment(P=0.002)were identified as independent post-treatment prognostic factors.CONCLUSION:TACE-based multi-modal treatments were safe and more beneficial than conservative management.Salvage surgery after successful downstaging resultedin long-term survival in patients with large,unresectable HCC. | Do Seon Song Soon Woo Nam Si Hyun Bae Jin Dong Kim Jeong Won Jang Myeong Jun Song Sung Won Lee Hee Yeon Kim Young Joon Lee Ho Jong Chun Young Kyoung You Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 7 |
| 7 | Epirubicin,Cisplatin,5-FU combination chemotherapy in sorafenib-refractory metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of epirubicin,cisplatin,and 5-FU combination chemotherapy for the sorafenib-refractory metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS:From April 2009 to June 2012,31 patients who were diagnosed with metastatic and progressive HCC after sorafenib treatment were retrospectively reviewed.Patients were treated with the combination of epirubicin(50 mg/m2Ⅳ;day 1),cisplatin(60 mg/m2Ⅳ;day 1),and 5-FU(1000 mg/m2Ⅳ;day 1-3)[Epirubicin,cisplatin,5-FU combination(ECF)],repeated every 4 wk.RESULTS:The overall response rate was 12.9%.Patients who responded to ECF chemotherapy showed a longer overall survival(OS)and time to progression(TTP)relative to those in the non-responder group(OS:20.4 mo vs 4.9 mo,P<0.001,TTP:9.4 mo vs 2.2 mo,P<0.001).Patients with a stable primary liver mass also exhibited a longer OS and TTP relative to those with progressive disease(OS:13.4 mo vs 5.3 mo,P=0.003;TTP:9.4 mo vs 2.3 mo,P=0.003).The most common hematologic toxicity was thrombocytopenia(87.2%),and the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia was 53.9%.Age older than 60,a stable primary mass,and a good response to chemotherapy were prognostic factors for OS and TTP.CONCLUSION:This combination cytotoxic chemotherapy can serve as another treatment option after sorafenib failure for the subset of patients with advanced metastatic HCC. | Ji Eun Lee Si Hyun Bae Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon Young Kyoung You Myung Ah Lee | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,1: | 7 |
| 8 | Recent Progress and Development in Extrusion of Rare Earth Free Mg Alloys: A Review显示文摘Mg and its alloys are the lightest structural metals available and are extremely attractive for applications as lightweight components, particularly in the automobile, electronic, and aerospace industries. The global market for wrought Mg alloys has steadily expanded over the past decade. And numerous studies have been carried out to meet this increasing demand of high-performance Mg alloys. However, Mg extrusion alloys have had a very limited usage so far. To overcome existing industrial challenges, one desirable approach is the development of low-cost rare earth(RE) free Mg extrusion alloys with superior mechanical properties. This review will introduce the recent research highlights in the extrusion of Mg alloys, specifi cally focusing on low-cost RE-free Mg alloy. The results from both the literature and our previous study are summarized and critically reviewed. Several aspects of RE-free Mg extrusion alloys are described in detail:(1) novel alloying designs including Mg–Al-, Mg–Zn-, Mg–Ca-, Mg–Sn-, and Mg–Bi-based alloys,(2) advanced extrusion techniques, and(3) extrusion-related severe plastic deformation(SPD) processing. Accordingly, considering the large gap in mechanical properties between the current RE-free Mg alloys and high-performance aluminum alloys, new alloy design, processing route control, and recommendations for future research on RE-free Mg extrusion alloys are also proposed. We hope this review will not only off er insightful information regarding the extrusion of RE-free Mg alloys but also inspire the development of new Mg extrusion technologies. | Shuai-Ju Meng Hui Yu Shao-Da Fan Qi-Zhi Li Sung Hyuk Park Joung Sik Suh Young Min Kim Xiao-Long Nan Ming-Zhe Bian Fu-Xing Yin Wei-Min Zhao Bong Sun You Kwang Seon Shin | 2019 | Acta Metallurgica Sinica(English Letters)2019,32,2: | 6 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | Safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for pancreatic cystic lesions: A single-center experience of 214 patients显示文摘Background:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation(EUS-EA)for pancreatic cystic lesions(PCLs)has been used in recent years as a feasible treatment modality for low malignant probability PCLs or patients considered high-risk for surgery.The present study aimed to confirm the safety of EUS-EA and to find predictive factors for adverse event(AE).Methods:A retrospective review was performed from the prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent EUS-EA for PCLs from June 2006 to April 2018 at Seoul National University Hospital.The primary outcomes of the study were the rates of AEs and severe AEs by EUS-EA.The secondary outcome was the predictive factors of AEs including acute pancreatitis and abdominal pain.Results:A total of 214 patients were evaluated and the diagnoses of PCLs according to cystic fluid analysis and clinical features were as follows:serous cystic neoplasm(32.2%),mucinous cystic neoplasm(26.6%),branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(BD-IPMN)(29.4%),and pseudocyst(11.7%).Three patients(1.4%)experienced severe AEs.Overall,AEs occurred in 71(33.2%)patients.BD-IPMN(OR:2.87;95%CI:1.05–7.84;P=0.040),multilocular cysts(OR:3.59;95%CI:1.09–11.85;P=0.036),suspected ethanol leakage during procedure(OR:10.68;95%CI:1.98–57.53;P=0.006),and sticky cystic fluid(OR:3.83;95%CI:1.20–12.24;P=0.024)were predictive factors for post-procedural acute pancreatitis.PCLs of uncinate process(OR:2.99;95%CI:1.22–7.35;P=0.017)and PCLs with exophytic portion(OR:3.70;95%CI:1.96–7.01;P<0.001)were predictive factors for post-procedural abdominal pain.Conclusions:EUS-EA is a safe procedure with a very low rate of severe AEs.It seems possible to predict the AEs according to the features of the procedure and PCLs. | Jin Ho Choi Sang Hyub Lee Young Hoon Choi Min Su You Bang-Sup Shin Woo Hyun Paik Ji Kon Ryu Yong-Tae Kim | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,6: | 6 |
| 11 | AME证据系列001--转化医学协会:脓毒症诊断和早期识别的临床实践指南显示文摘脓毒症是一种由感染引起的异质性疾病,感染触发了一系列复杂的局部或者全身的免疫炎症反应,引起多器官功能衰竭,发病率和病死率显著升高。由于至今仍然没有诊断脓毒症的金标准,所以脓毒症的临床诊断仍是一个难题。因此,脓毒症的临床诊断需要不断改变来满足临床和研究的要求。然而,尽管有许多新型的生物标记和筛选工具去预测脓毒症发生的风险,但是这些措施的诊断价值和有效性不足以让人满意,并且没有充分的证据去建议临床使用这些新技术。因此,脓毒症的临床诊断标准需要定期更新去适应不断产生的新证据。这篇综述旨在呈现当前脓毒症的诊断和早期识别方面的最新研究证据。临床运用不同的诊断方法的推荐意见依赖于推荐、评价、发展和评估分级体系(Grades of Recommendation Assessment,Development and Evaluation,GRADE),因为大部分的研究是观察性研究,并没有对这些方法进行可靠评估,采用的是两步推理方法。未来需要更多研究来确认或者反驳某一特殊的指标检测,同时应该直接采用相关病人的结果数据。 | Zhongheng Zhang Nathan J.Smischney Haibo Zhang Sven Van Poucke Panagiotis Tsirigotis Jordi Rello Patrick M.Honore Win Sen Kuan Juliet June Ray Jiancang Zhou You Shang Yuetian Yu Christian Jung Chiara Robba Fabio Silvio Taccone Pietro Caironi David Grimaldi Stefan Hofer George Dimopoulos Marc Leone Sang-Bum Hong Mabrouk Bahloul Laurent Argaud Won Young Kim Herbert D.Spapen Jose Rodolfo Rocco 张建成(译) 尚游(译) 钟鸣(校) | 2016 | 临床与病理杂志2016,36,10: | 5 |
| 12 | Clinical analysis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after living-donor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM: To evaluated patterns and outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) recurrence after living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).METHODS: From 2001 to 2014, 293 patients underwent LDLT for HCC at our transplant center. We retrospectively reviewed 54(18.4%) patients with HCC recurrence after LDLT. We evaluated patterns and outcomes of HCC recurrence after LDLT, with particular attention to the Milan criteria at transplantation, treatments for HCC-recurrent patients, and factors related to survival after HCC recurrence. Furthermore, we evaluated the efficacy of combination treatment of sorafenib and an mT OR inhibitor.RESULTS: The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival rates after HCC recurrence were 41.1%, 20.5%, and 15.4%, respectively. The median time interval between LDLT and HCC recurrence was 6.5 mo. Although recurrence rates according to the Milan criteria at LDLT were significantly different, HCC recurrence patterns and survival rates after HCC recurrence were not significantly different between the two groups. Time to recurrence < 12 mo(P = 0.048), multiple recurrences at HCC recurrence(P = 0.038), and palliative treatment for recurrent tumors(P = 0.003) were significant independent prognostic factors for poor survival after HCC recurrence in a multivariate analysis. The combination treatment of sorafenib and sirolimus showedsurvival benefits in the palliative treatment group(P = 0.005).CONCLUSION: Curative treatment for recurrent HCC after LDLT is the most important factor in survival rates after HCC recurrence and combination treatments of sorafenib and an m TOR inhibitor could have survival benefits in patients with HCC recurrence after LT in the palliative treatment group. | Gun Hyung Na Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You Dong Goo Kim | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,25: | 5 |
| 13 | Scalp electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20) improves functional recovery in rats with cerebral ischemia Association with increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factors显示文摘In this study, we induced cerebral infarction in rats by occluding the right middle cerebral artery, and tested the effects of electroacupuncture at the Baihui acupoint (DU 20). Motor and sensory function was tested using Garcia’s scale and motor weakness grading, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the brain was quantified using immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. We found that scalp electroacupuncture at DU 20 significantly improved motor performance and sensory function in rats with stroke, and this was accompanied by an increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the ischemic brain tissue and peri-ischemic area. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis showed that the improvements in functional recovery were correlated with the increased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. | Min-Wook Kim You Chul Chung Hee Chan Jung Moon-Seo Park Young-Min Han Yong-An Chung Lee-So Maeng Sang-In Park Jiyeon Lim Seung Chan Kim Woo-Seok Im Jin Young Chung Minky Kim Manho Kim | 2011 | Neural Regeneration Research2011,6,36: | 4 |
| 14 | Risk factors of biliary intervention by imaging after livingdonor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM:To determine the risk factors of biliary intervention using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) after living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 196 patients who underwent right lobe LDLT between 2006 and 2010 at a single liver transplantation center. Direct duct-to-duct biliary anastomosis was performed in all 196 patients. MRCP images routinely taken 1 mo after LDLT were analyzed to identify risk factors for biliary intervention during follow-up, such as retrograde cholangiopancreatography or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Two experienced radiologists evaluated the MRCP findings, including the anastomosis site angle on three-dimensional images, the length of the filling defect on maximum intensity projection, bile duct dilatation, biliary stricture, and leakage.RESULTS: Eighty-nine patients underwent biliary intervention during follow-up. The anastomosis site angle [hazard ratio(HR) = 0.48; 95% confidence interval(CI), 0.30-0.75, P < 0.001], a filling defect in the anastomosis site(HR = 2.18, 95%CI: 1.41-3.38,P = 0.001), and biliary leakage(HR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.02-6.20, P = 0.048) on MRCP were identified in the multivariate analysis as significant risk factors for biliary intervention during follow-up. Moreover, a narrower anastomosis site angle(i.e., below the median angle of 113.3°) was associated with earlier biliary intervention(38.5 ± 4.2 mo vs 62. 1 ± 4.1 mo, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis comparing biliary intervention-free survival according to the anastomosis site angle revealed that lower survival was associated with a narrower anastomosis site angle(36.3% vs 62.0%, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The biliary anastomosis site angle in MRCP after LDLT may be associated with the need for biliary intervention. | Soon Kyu Lee Jong Young Choi Dong Myung Yeo Young Joon Lee Seung Kew Yoon Si Hyun Bae Jeong Won Jang Hee Yeon Kim Dong Goo Kim Young Kyoung You | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,7: | 4 |
| 15 | Effects of exogenous recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-7 on the corneal epithelial mesenchymal transition and fibrosis显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effect of exogenous recombinant human bone morphogenic protein-7(rhBMP-7)on transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)-induced epithelial mesenchymal cell transition(EMT)and assessed its antifibrotic effect via topical application.METHODS:The cytotoxic effect of rhBMP-7 was evaluated and the EMT of human corneal epithelial cells(HECEs)was induced by TGF-β. HECEs were then cultured in the presence of rhBMP-7 and/or hyaluronic acid(HA). EMT markers,fibronectin,E-cadherin,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),and matrix metaloproteinase-9(MMP-9),were evaluated. The level of corneal fibrosis and the reepithelization rate were evaluated using a rabbit keratectomy model. Expression of α-SMA in keratocytes were quantified following treatment with different concentrations of rhBMP-7.RESULTS:Treatment with rhBMP-7 attenuated TGF-β-induced EMT in HECEs. It significantly attenuated fibronectin secretion(31.6%; P<0.05),the α-SMA protein level(72.2%; P<0.01),and MMP-9 expression(23.6%,P<0.05)in HECEs compared with cells grown in the presence of TGF-β alone. E-cadherin expression was significantly enhanced(289.7%; P<0.01)in the presence of rhBMP-7. Topical application of rhBMP-7 combined with 0.1% HA significantly reduced the amount of α-SMA^+ cells by 43.18%(P<0.05)at a concentration of 2.5 μg/mL and by 47.73%(P<0.05)at 25 μg/mL,compared with the control group,without disturbing corneal reepithelization.CONCLUSION:rhBMP-7 attenuates TGF-β-induced EMT in vitro,and topical application of rhBMP-7 reduces keratocyte myodifferentiation during the early wound healing stages in vivo without hindering reepithelization. Topical rhBMP-7 application as biological eye drops seems to be feasible in diseases involving TGF-β-related corneal fibrosis with corneal reepithelization disorders. | Jin Kwon Chung Shin Ae Park Hee Sun Hwang Kwang Sung Kim Yang Je Cho Yong Sung You Young Sik Kim Ju Woong Jang Sung Jin Lee | 2017 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2017,10,3: | 3 |
| 16 | Pancreatic hardness: Correlation of surgeon's palpation, durometer measurement and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging features显示文摘AIM To evaluate the correlation between subjective assessments of pancreatic hardness based on the palpation, objective measurements using a durometer, and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) findings for assessing pancreatic hardness.METHODS Eighty-three patients undergoing pancreatectomies were enrolled. An experienced surgeon subjectively evaluated the pancreatic hardness in the surgical field by palpation. The pancreatic hardness was also objectivelyevaluated using a durometer. Preoperative MRI findings were evaluated by a radiologist in terms of the apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) values, the relative signal intensity decrease(RSID) of the pancreatic parenchyma, and the diameter of the pancreatic parenchyma and duct. Durometer measurement results, ADC values, RSID, pancreatic duct and parenchyma diameters, and the ratio of the diameters of the duct and parenchyma were compared between pancreases judged to be soft or hard pancreas on the palpation. A correlation analysis was also performed between the durometer and MRI measurements.RESULTS The palpation assessment classified 44 patients as having a soft pancreas and 39 patients as having a hard pancreas. ADC values were significantly lower in the hard pancreas group. The ductal diameter and duct-to-pancreas ratio were significantly higher in the hard pancreas group. For durometer measurements, a correlation analysis showed a positive correlation with the ductal diameter and the duct-to-pancreas ratio and a negative correlation with ADC values. CONCLUSION Hard pancreases showed lower ADC values, a wider pancreatic duct diameter and a higher duct-to-pancreas ratio than soft pancreases. Additionally, the ADC values, diameter of the pancreatic duct and duct-to-pancreas ratio were closely correlated with the durometer results. | Tae Ho Hong Joon-Il Choi Michael Yong Park Sung Eun Rha Young Joon Lee Young Kyoung You Moon Hyung Choi | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,11: | 3 |
| 17 | Comparative study of rendezvous techniques in post-liver transplant biliary stricture显示文摘AIM:To investigate the usefulness of a new rendezvous technique for placing stents using the Kumpe(KMP) catheter in angulated or twisted biliary strictures.METHODS:The rendezvous technique was performed in patients with a biliary stricture after living donor liver transplantation(LDLT) who required the exchange of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage catheters for inside stents.The rendezvous technique was performed using a guidewire in 19 patients(guidewire group) and using a KMP catheter in another 19(KMP catheter group).We compared the two groups retrospectively.RESULTS:The baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups.The success rate for placing inside stents was 100% in both groups.A KMP catheter was easier to manipulate than a guidewire.The mean procedure time in the KMP catheter group(1012 s,range:301-2006 s) was shorter than that in the guidewire group(2037 s,range:251-6758 s,P = 0.022).The cumulative probabilities corresponding to the procedure time of the two groups were significantly different(P = 0.008).The factors related to procedure time were the rendezvous technique method,the number of inside stents,the operator,and balloon dilation of the stricture(P < 0.05).In a multivariate analysis,the rendezvous technique method was the only significant factor related to procedure time(P = 0.010).The procedural complications observed included one case of mild acute pancreatitis and one case of acute cholangitis in the guidewire group,and two cases of mild acute pancreatitis in the KMP catheter group.CONCLUSION:The rendezvous technique involving use of the KMP catheter was a fast and safe method for placing inside stents in patients with LDLT biliary stricture that represents a viable alternative to the guidewire rendezvous technique. | Jae Hyuck Chang In Seok Lee Ho Jong Chun Jong Young Choi Seung Kyoo Yoon Dong Goo Kim Young Kyoung You Myung-Gyu Choi Sok Won Han | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,41: | 3 |
| 18 | Improvement of diabetes and hypertension after gastrectomy: A nationwide cohort study显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effect of gastrectomy on diabetes mellitus(DM) and hypertension(HTN) in non-obese gastric cancer patients. METHODS: A total of 100000 patients, diagnosed with either type 2 DM or HTN, were randomly selected from the 2004 Korean National Health Insurance System claims. Among them, 360 diabetes and 351 hypertensive patients with gastric cancer who had been regularly treated without chemotherapy from January 2005 to December 2010 were selected. They were divided into three groups according to their treatment methods: total gastrectomy(TG), subtotal gastrectomy(STG) and endoscopic resection(ER). RESULTS: The drug discontinuation rate of antidiabetic and anti-hypertensive agents after gastric cancer treatment was 9.7% and 11.1% respectively. DM appeared to be improved more frequently(22.8%) and earlier(mean ± SE 28.6 ± 1.8 mo) in TG group than in the two other groups [improved in 9.5% of ER group(37.4 ± 1.1 mo) and 6.4% of STG group(47.0 ± 0.8 mo)]. The proportion of patients treated with multiple drugs decreased more notably in TG group compared to others(P = 0.001 in DM, and P = 0.035 in HTN). In TG group, adjusted hazard ratio for theimprovement of DM was 2.87(95%CI: 1.15-7.17) in a multi-variate analysis and better control of DM was observed with survival analysis(P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: TG was found to decrease the need for anti-diabetic medications which can be reflective of improved glycemic control, to a greater extent than either ER or STG in non-obese diabetic patients. | Eun Kyung Lee So Young Kim You Jin Lee Mi Hyang Kwak Hak Jin Kim Il Ju Choi Soo-Jeong Cho Young Woo Kim Jong Yeul Lee Chan Gyoo Kim Hong Man Yoon Bang Wool Eom Sun-Young Kong Min Kyong Yoo Jong Hyock Park Keun Won Ryu | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,4: | 3 |
| 19 | Complete recovery of herpes zoster radiculopathy based on electrodiagnostic study:A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Herpes zoster is a painful infectious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus.Herpes zoster radiculopathy,which is a type of segmental zoster paresis,can complicate the disease and cause motor weakness.This complication should be considered when a patient with a rash complains of acute-onset motor weakness,and the diagnosis can be verified via electrodiagnostic study.CASE SUMMARY A 64-year-old female with a history of asthma presented to the emergency department with stabbing pain,an itching sensation,and a rash on the right anterior shoulder that had begun 5 d prior.Physical examination revealed multiple erythematous grouped vesicles in the right C4-5 and T1 dermatome regions.Because herpes zoster was suspected,the patient immediately received intravenous acyclovir.On the third hospital day,she complained of motor weakness in the right upper extremity.Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed mild intervertebral disc herniation at C4-C5 without evidence of nerve root compression.On the 12th hospital day,electrodiagnostic study revealed right cervical radiculopathy,mainly in the C5/6 roots.Six months later,monoparesis resolved,and follow-up electrodiagnostic study was normal.CONCLUSION This case emphasizes that clinicians should consider the possibility of postherpetic paresis,such as herpes zoster radiculopathy,and that electrodiagnostic study is useful for diagnosis and follow-up. | Hyeon Seong Kim Ji Won Jung You Jin Jung Young Suck Ro Si-Bog Park Kyu Hoon Lee | 2021 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2021,9,17: | 3 |
| 20 | Severe thrombocytopenia before liver transplantation is associated with delayed recovery of thrombocytopenia regardless of donor type显示文摘AIM: To compare the recovery of thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly during long-term follow-up after liver transplantation in patients receiving a living donor transplant or a cadaveric donor transplant. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 216 consecutive liver transplant patients who survived for > 6 mo after transplantation; 169 received a liver transplant from a living donor and 47 from a cadaveric donor. The platelet counts or spleen volumes were examined before transplant, 1, 6, and 12 mo after transplant, and then annually until 5 years after transplant. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 49 mo (range, 21-66). Platelet counts increased continu-ously for 5 years after orthotopic liver transplant. The restoration of platelet counts after transplant was sig-nificantly slower in patients with severe pretransplant thrombocytopenia (< 50 000/μL) until 4 years after transplant (P = 0.005). Donor type did not significantly affect the recovery of platelet count and spleen vol-ume in either patient group. In multivariate analysis, pretransplant severe thrombocytopenia (< 50 000/μL) was an independent factor associated with sustained thrombocytopenia (P < 0.001, odds ratio 6.314; con-fidence interval, 2.828-14.095). Thrombocytopenia re-appeared after transplant in seven patients with portal flow disturbance near the anastomosis site. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that severe throm-bocytopenia before transplant is closely associated with delayed recovery of platelet count after transplant and donor type did not affect the recovery of throm-bocytopenia. The reappearance of thrombocytopenia after transplant should be considered a possible indica-tor of flow disturbance in the portal vein. | Jae Hyuck Chang Jong Young Choi Hyun Young Woo Jung Hyun Kwon Chan Ran You Si Hyun Bae Seung Kew Yoon Myung-Gyu Choi In-Sik Chung Dong Goo Kim | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,37: | 2 |
