| 1 | Risk factors associated with the development of ischemic colitis显示文摘AIM:To ascertain the role of cardiovascular risk factors,cardiovascular diseases,standard treatments and other diseases in the development of ischemic colitis(IC).METHODS:A retrospective,case-control study was designed,using matched data and covering 161 incident cases of IC who required admission to our hospital from 1998 through 2003.IC was diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic findings and diagnostic or compatible his-tology.Controls were randomly chosen from a cohort of patients who were admitted in the same period and required a colonoscopy,excluding those with diagnosis of colitis.Cases were matched with controls(ratio 1:2),by age and sex.A conditional logistic regression was performed.RESULTS:A total of 483 patients(161 cases,322 con-trols)were included;mean age 75.67±10.03 years,55.9%women.The principal indications for colonos-copy in the control group were lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage(35.4%),anemia(33.9%),abdominal pain(19.9%)and diarrhea(9.6%).The endoscopic findings in this group were hemorrhoids(25.5%),diverticular disease(30.4%),polyps(19.9%)and colorectal cancer(10.2%).The following variables were associated with IC in the univariate analysis:arterial hypertension(P= 0.033);dyslipidemia(P<0.001);diabetes mellitus(P =0.025);peripheral arterial disease(P=0.004);heart failure(P=0.026);treatment with hypotensive drugs(P=0.023);angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors;(P=0.018);calcium channel antagonists(P=0.028);and acetylsalicylic acid(ASA)(P<0.001).Finally,the following variables were independently associated with the development of IC:diabetes mellitus[odds ratio(OR)1.76,95%confidence interval(CI):1.001-3.077,P=0.046];dyslipidemia(OR 2.12,95%CI:1.26-3.57,P=0.004);heart failure(OR 3.17,95%CI:1.31-7.68,P=0.01);peripheral arterial disease(OR 4.1,95%CI:1.32-12.72,P=0.015);treatment with digoxin(digitalis)(OR 0.27,95%CI:0.084-0.857,P=0.026);and ASA(OR 1.97,95%CI:1.16-3.36,P=0.012).CONCLUSION:The development of an episode of IC was independently associated with diabetes,dyslipid-emia,presence of heart failure,peripheral arterial dis-ease and treatment with digoxin or ASA. | Joaquín Cubiella Fernández Luisa Núez Calvo Elvira González Vázquez Maria Jesús García García Maria Teresa Alves Pérez Isabel Martínez Silva Javier Fernández Seara | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,36: | 27 |
| 2 | Immunomodulatory properties of dental tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells: Implication in disease and tissue regeneration显示文摘Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)are considered as an attractive tool for tissue regeneration and possess a strong immunomodulatory ability.Dental tissuederived MSCs can be isolated from different sources,such as the dental pulp,periodontal ligament,deciduous teeth,apical papilla,dental follicles and gingiva.According to numerous in vitro studies,the effect of dental MSCs on immune cells might depend on several factors,such as the experimental setting,MSC tissue source and type of immune cell preparation.Most studies have shown that the immunomodulatory activity of dental MSCs is strongly upregulated by activated immune cells.MSCs exert mostly immunosuppressive effects,leading to the dampening of immune cell activation.Thus,the reciprocal interaction between dental MSCs and immune cells represents an elegant mechanism that potentially contributes to tissue homeostasis and inflammatory disease progression.Although the immunomodulatory potential of dental MSCs has been extensively investigated in vitro,its role in vivo remains obscure.A few studies have reported that the MSCs isolated from inflamed dental tissues have a compromised immunomodulatory ability.Moreover,the expression of some immunomodulatory proteins is enhanced in periodontal disease and even shows some correlation with disease severity.MSC-based immunomodulation may play an essential role in the regeneration of different dental tissues.Therefore,immunomodulation-based strategies may be a very promising tool in regenerative dentistry. | Oleh Andrukhov Christian Behm Alice Blufstein Xiaohui Rausch-Fan | 2019 | World Journal of Stem Cells2019,11,9: | 21 |
| 3 | Discovery of Paleogene marine stratum along the southern side of Yarlung-Zangbo suture zone and its implications in tectonics显示文摘The Jiachala Formatiom is a new lithostratigraphic unit set up in this paper. This is the first report on the Paleogene marine sequences and microfaunas in Gyangze to the southern side of the Yarlung-Zangbo suture zone. On the basis of fossil abundance, species diversity, dominant species and first and last occurrences of key species, three dinoflagellate assemblages and three polynological assemblages were recognized in the Jiachala Formatiom. They are in ascending order as follows: Apectodinium quinquelatum-Apectodinium hyperacanthum, Cannin- gia chinensis-Palaeoperidinium pyrophorum and Cymatiosphaera reticulosa-Samlandia chla- mydophora dinoflagellate assemblages, and Arliaceoipollenites baculatus-Anacolosidites sub- trudens, Aglaoreidia cyclops-Pinuspollenites microinsigis, and Elaeangnacites asper-Ilexpol- lenites iliacus polynological Assemblages. According to the assemblages, the age of the Jiachala Formation is referred to Paleocene-early Eocene. The preliminary study on the Jiachala Forma- tion shows that this group of Paleogene deposits accumulated in an underfilled peripheral fore- land basin which was in response to the load of the crust thickening resulted from the Asia-India collision. The stratigraphic evidences provided by the evolution of foreland basin indicate that the India-Asia initional collision should occure near the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. The de- velopment and evolution of the southern Tibet foreland basin was under the control of the stress field from the subduct-collision between India and Asia and the structure pattern of the basement. The withering of Tethys Sea might occur after early Eocene in the Gyangze basin and should be after Priabonian of late Eocene in southern Tibet. | LI Guobiao 1 , WAN Xiaoqiao 1 , LIU Wencan 1 , LIANG Dingyi 1 & Hyesu Yun 2 1.

| 4 | Perioperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty: An evidence based review of the role of peripheral nerve blocks显示文摘Over the last decades,the number of total knee arthroplasty procedures performed in the United States has been increasing dramatically.This very successful intervention,however,is associated with significant postoperative pain,and adequate postoperative analgesia is mandatory in order to allow for successful rehabilitation and recovery.The use of regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks has facilitated and improved this goal.Many different approaches and techniques for peripheral nerve blockades,either landmark or,more recently,ultrasound guided have been described over the last decades.This includes but is not restricted to techniques discussed in this review.The introduction of ultrasound has improved many approaches to peripheral nerves either in success rate and/or time to block.Moreover,ultrasound has enhanced the safety of peripheral nerve blocks due to immediate needle visualization and as consequence needle guidance during the block.In contrast to patient controlled analgesia using opioids,patients with a regional anesthetic technique suffer from fewer adverse events and show higher patient satisfaction;this is important as hospital rank-ings and advertisement have become more common worldwide and many patients use these factors in order to choose a certain institution for a specific procedure.This review provides a short overview of currently used regional anesthetic and analgesic techniques focusing on related implications,considerations and outcomes. | Thomas Danninger Mathias Opperer Stavros G Memtsoudis | 2014 | World Journal of Orthopedics2014,5,3: | 20 |
| 5 | Effect of IL-18 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells of chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis B virus DNA released by HepG2.2.15 cell lines显示文摘BACKGROUND: Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflamma- tory cytokine that induces interferon-γ (IFN-γ) production in T cells and natural killer cells, plays a critical role in the T-lymphocyte helper type 1 ( Th1) response. This study was designed to explore the effect of IL-18 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) derived from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and on hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA released by HepG2.2.15 cell lines, which were transfected with hepatitis B virus gene in vitro. METHODS: PBMCs isolated from 25 healthy people and 25 patients with CHB were stimulated with HBcAg and IL-18 of various concentrations for 72 hours. The levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of cultured PBMCs were determined by ELISA. After the stimulation of IL-18 of various concentra- tions, PBMCs derived from one patient were co-cultured for 96 hours with HepG2. 2. 15 cells which had been cul- tured for 24 hours, and then the supernatants were collected by centrifugation and used for HBV DNA quantitative as- say. RESULTS: When PBMCs were stimulated by HBcAg and IL-18 at various concentrations, the levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of CHB groups were much higher than those in normal control groups, at 0.2 ng/ml: t =11.70, P< 0.01; at 1.0 ng/ml: t =16.19, P<0.01; and at5.0 ng/ml: t =20.12, P <0.01. In the CHB groups, the levels of IFN-γ in the supernatants of PBMCs stimulated by HBcAg alone were lower than both those stimulated by HBcAg and EL-18 at various concentrations and those stimulated by HBcAg and EL-18 (5.0 ng/ml) together with EL-12 (mild: t = 2.20, P<0.05; moderate; t=2.97, P<0.05; severe; t = 0.66, P >0.05). The content of HBV DNA in the superna- tant of co-cultivation of HepG2. 2. 15 cells and PBMCs without stimulated materials was higher than that stimula-ted by HBcAg and EL-18 at various concentrations of HBc- Ag and IL-18 together with IL-12/IFN-α1lb. CONCLUSION: DL-18 can induce IFN-γ secretion and pro- bably play a key role in the modulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. It has implications in improving im- munoregulatory effect and increasing the ability of immune cells to kill cells infected by virus. | Ying Sun, Huan-Yong Chen and Shao-Jie Xin Harbin, China Department of Infectious Diseases, First Clinical Col- lege, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150001 , China | 2004 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2004,3,2: | 19 |
| 6 | Effects of Mitochondrial Dysfunction via AMPK/PGC-1α Signal Pathway on Pathogenic Mechanism of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and the Protective Effects of Chinese Medicine显示文摘Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease of peripheral nervous system with high energy requirement. The adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α(PGC-1α) axis plays a key role in regulating mitochondrial energy metabolism. Increasing preclinical evidences have shown that inhibition of AMPK/PGC-1α pathway leading to mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons or Schwann cells contributes to neuron apoptosis, distal axonopathy and nerve demyelination in DPN. Some Chinese medicine formulae or extracts from herbs may have potential neuroprotective effects on DPN via activating AMPK/PGC-1α pathway and improving mitochondrial function. | ZHANG Qian LIANG Xiao-chun | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine2019,25,5: | 19 |
| 7 | Relationship between the expression of IP-10 and IP-10 mRNA in peripheral blood and HBV DNA level in patients with cirrhosis显示文摘BACKGROUND:Post-hepatitic cirrhosis is regarded as common and severe form of liver damage.Interferonγ-inducible protein 10(IP-10),a member of the non-ELR(glutamic-leucine arginine)motif CXC chemokine family,has recently been shown to recruit and activate specific subsets of leukocytes to sites of inflammation or an immune response during the development of hepatic cirrhosis.However,the effects of IP-10 and IP-10 mRNA on inflammatory infiltration at local sites and in the peripheral blood of patients with post-hepatitic cirrhosis as well as their relationship with viral load are still poorly defined.This study aimed to detect the relationship between the expression of IP-10 in serum,IP-10 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs),and the levels of HBV DNA in the serum of patients,and to explore their role in the pathogenesis of cirrhosis.METHODS:Typical patients with cirrhosis after HBV infection were selected,and their serum IP-10 concentrations were evaluated with ELISA,the content of IP-10 mRNA in PBMCs was measured by real-time PCR,and the load of HBV DNA in serum and PBMCs was assessed by semi-quantitative analysis of gel imaging.RESULTS:The levels of IP-10 in serum and IP-10 mRNA in PBMCs of patients with cirrhosis were 299.9±77.2 pg/ml and 0.7500±0.1495,respectively.They were higher than those of controls(P<0.05)and also increased in the HBV DNA(+) groups(P<0.05,P<0.01)to 343.0±80.3 pg/ml and 0.8465±0.1528 respectively.The levels of IP-10 in serum and IP-10 mRNA in PBMCs were clearly correlated with the load of HBV DNA(P<0.01).CONCLUSIONS:The levels of IP-10 and IP-10 mRNA in the peripheral blood of patients with cirrhosis increase are closely correlated with the load of HBV DNA in serum,and play a key role in the progression of post-hepatitic cirrhosis. | Wang, Jian Wang, Ping-Ping Xiang, Gui-Ju Hu, Xiao-Bin | 2010 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2010,9,3: | 17 |
| 8 | Correlation between serum vitamin B12 level and peripheral neuropathy in atrophic gastritis显示文摘AIM To explore the correlation between serum vitamin B12 level and peripheral neuropathy in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG). METHODS A total of 593 patients diagnosed with chronic gastritis by gastroscopy and pathological examination fromSeptember 2013 to September 2016 were selected for this study. The age of these patients ranged within 18-to 75-years-old. Blood pressure, height and weight were measured in each patient, and the body mass index value was calculated. Furthermore, gastric acid, serum gastrin, serum vitamin and serum creatinine tests were performed, and peripheral nerve conduction velocity and Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) were detected. In addition, the type of gastritis was determined by gastroscopy. The above factors were used as independent variables to analyze chronic gastritis with peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency risk factors, and to analyze the relationship between vitamin B12 levels and peripheral nerve conduction velocity. In addition, in the treatment of CAG on the basis of vitamin B12, patients with peripheral neuropathy were observed. RESULTS Age, H. pylori infection, CAG, vitamin B9 and vitamin B12 were risk factors for the occurrence of peripheral nerve degeneration.Furthermore,CAG and H. pylori infection were risk factors for chronic gastritis associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Serum vitamin B12 level was positively correlated with sensory nerve conduction velocity in the tibial nerve(R = 0.463). After vitamin B12 supplementation, patients with peripheral neuropathy improved. CONCLUSION Serum vitamin B12 levels in patients with chronic gastritis significantly decreased, and the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy had a certain correlation. CAG and H. pylori infection are risk factors for vitamin B12 deficiency and peripheral neuropathy. When treating CAG, vitamin B12 supplementation can significantly reduce peripheral nervous system lesions. Therefore, the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy associated with vitamin B12 deficiency may be considered in patients with CAG. Furthermore, the timely supplementation of vitamin B12 during the clinical treatment of CAG can reduce or prevent peripheral nervous system lesions. | Guo-Tao Yang Hong-Ying Zhao Yu Kong Ning-Ning Sun Ai-Qin Dong | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,12: | 17 |
| 9 | Classic axon guidance molecules control correct nerve bridge tissue formation and precise axon regeneration显示文摘The peripheral nervous system has an astonishing ability to regenerate following a compression or crush injury;however,the potential for full repair following a transection injury is much less.Currently,the major clinical challenge for peripheral nerve repair come from long gaps between the proximal and distal nerve stumps,which prevent regenerating axons reaching the distal nerve.Precise axon targeting during nervous system development is controlled by families of axon guidance molecules including Netrins,Slits,Ephrins and Semaphorins.Several recent studies have indicated key roles of Netrin1,Slit3 and EphrinB2 signalling in controlling the formation of new nerve bridge tissue and precise axon regeneration after peripheral nerve transection injury.Inside the nerve bridge,nerve fibroblasts express EphrinB2 while migrating Schwann cells express the receptor EphB2.EphrinB2/EphB2 signalling between nerve fibroblasts and migrating Schwann cells is required for Sox2 upregulation in Schwann cells and the formation of Schwann cell cords within the nerve bridge to allow directional axon growth to the distal nerve stump.Macrophages in the outermost layer of the nerve bridge express Slit3 while migrating Schwann cells and regenerating axons express the receptor Robo1;within Schwann cells,Robo1 expression is also Sox2-dependent.Slit3/Robo1 signalling is required to keep migrating Schwann cells and regenerating axons inside the nerve bridge.In addition to the Slit3/Robo1 signalling system,migrating Schwann cells also express Netrin1 and regenerating axons express the DCC receptor.It appears that migrating Schwann cells could also use Netrin1 as a guidance cue to direct regenerating axons across the peripheral nerve gap.Engineered neural tissues have been suggested as promising alternatives for the repair of large peripheral nerve gaps.Therefore,understanding the function of classic axon guidance molecules in nerve bridge formation and their roles in axon regeneration could be highly beneficial in developing engineered neural tissue for more effective peripheral nerve repair. | Xin-Peng Dun David BParkinson | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,1: | 13 |
| 10 | Clinical Features and Microvascular Complications Risk Factors of Early-onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus显示文摘The aim of this research was to study the clinical features and microvascular complications risk factors of early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).We analyzed the clinical data from 1421 T2DM inpatients at Wuhan Union Hospital.Subjects were divided into early-onset T2DM group(diagnostic age<40 years)and late-onset T2DM group(diagnostic age>40 years).All subjects underwent a standardized assessment of microvascular complications.Data were compared with independent-samples t test or Chi-square test.Multiple logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors of microvascular complications.Patients with early-onset T2DM were more inclined to have a lower systolic blood pressure(SBP),a longer duration of diabetes and higher levels of body mass index(BM1),uric acid(UA),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG)and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbAlc)than those with lateonset T2DM(P<0.05).The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy(DR)was significantly higher and that of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)was significantly lower in early-onset group than in late-onset group(P<0.05).For DN,UA was an independent risk factor in early-onset T2DM.SBP and TG were independent risk factors in late-onset T2DM.For DR,duration of diabetes and SBP were independent risk factors in early-onset T2DM.Duration of diabetes,SBP and HbAlc were independent risk factors in late-onset T2DM.This study demonstrated that the clinical characteristics of early-onset T2DM were metabolic disorders,including glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism.Early-onset T2DM was more likely to be associated with DR.The potential pathogenesis of early and late-onset T2DM might be different.The management of metabolic risk factors especially HbA1c,SBP,TG and UA is advised to be performed in the early stage of diabetes. | Jia-xin HUANG Yun-fei LIAO Yu-ming LI | 2019 | Current Medical Science2019,39,5: | 13 |
| 11 | Current status of high on-treatment platelet reactivity in patients with coronary or peripheral arterial disease:Mechanisms,evaluation and clinical implications显示文摘Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin or clopidogrel or both is the standard care for patients with proven coronary or peripheral arterial disease,especially those undergoing endovascular revascularization procedures. However,despite the administration of the antiplatelet regiments,some patients still experience recurrent cardiovascular ischemic events. So far,it is well documented by several studies that in vitro response of platelets may be extremely variable. Poor antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel or high on-treatment platelet reactivity(HTPR) is under investigation by numerous recent studies. This review article focuses on methods used for the ex vivo evaluation of HTPR,as well as on the possible underlying mechanisms and the clinical consequences of this entity. Alternative therapeutic options and future directions are also addressed. | Stavros Spiliopoulos Georgios Pastromas | 2015 | World Journal of Cardiology2015,7,12: | 13 |
| 12 | Inflammatory bowel diseases and spondyloarthropathies: From pathogenesis to treatment显示文摘Spondyloarthropathies(SpA) include many different forms of inflammatory arthritis and can affect the spine(axial SpA) and/or peripheral joints(peripheral SpA) with Ankylosing spondylitis(AS) being the prototype of the former. Extraarticular manifestations, like uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) are frequently observed in the setting of SpA and are, in fact, part of the SpA classification criteria. Bowel involvement seems to be the most common of these manifestations. Clinically evident IBD is observed in 6%-14% of AS patients, which is significantly more frequent compared to the general population. Besides, it seems that silent microscopic gut inflammation, is evident in around 60% in AS patients. Interestingly, occurrence of IBD has been associated with AS disease activity. For peripheral SpA, two different forms have been proposed with diverse characteristics. Of note, SpA(axial or peripheral) is more commonly observed in Crohn's disease than in ulcerative colitis. The common pathogenetic mechanisms that explain the link between IBD and SpA are still ill-defined. The role of dysregulated microbiome along with migration of T lymphocytes and other cells from gut to the joint('gut-joint' axis) has been recognized, in the context of a genetic background including associations with alleles inside or outside the human leukocyte antigen system. Various therapeutic modalities are available with monoclonal antibodies against tumour necrosis factor, interleukin-23 and interleukin-17, being the most effective. Both gastroenterologists and rheumatologists should be alert to identify the coexistence of these conditions and ideally follow-up these patients in combined clinics. | George E Fragoulis Christina Liava Dimitrios Daoussis Euangelos Akriviadis Alexandros Garyfallos Theodoros Dimitroulas | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,18: | 13 |
| 13 | Augmenting peripheral nerve regeneration using stem cells: A review of current opinion显示文摘Outcomes following peripheral nerve injury remain frustratingly poor. The reasons for this are multifactorial, although maintaining a growth permissive environment in the distal nerve stump following repair is arguably the most important. The optimal environment for axonal regeneration relies on the synthesis and release of many biochemical mediators that are temporally and spatially regulated with a high level of incompletely understood complexity. The Schwann cell(SC) has emerged as a key player in this process. Prolonged periods of distal nerve stump denervation, characteristic of large gaps and proximal injuries, have been associated with a reduction in SC number and ability to support regenerating axons. Cell based therapy offers a potential therapy for the improvement of outcomes following peripheral nerve reconstruction. Stem cells have the potential to increase the number of SCs and prolong their ability to support regeneration. They may also have the ability to rescue and replenish populations of chromatolytic and apoptotic neurons following axotomy. Finally, they can be used in non-physiologic ways to preserve injured tissues such as denervated muscle while neuronal ingrowth has not yet occurred. Aside from stem cell type, careful consideration must be given to differentiation status, how stem cells are supported following transplantation and how they will be delivered to the site of injury. It is the aim of this article to review current opinions on the strategies of stem cell based therapy for the augmentation of peripheral nerve regeneration. | Neil G Fairbairn Amanda M Meppelink Joanna Ng-Glazier Mark A Randolph Jonathan M Winograd | 2015 | World Journal of Stem Cells2015,7,1: | 12 |
| 14 | 穴位埋线配合隔姜灸治疗周围性面瘫后遗症及其对表面肌电图的影响显示文摘Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of acupoint catgut embedding combined with gingerseparated moxibustion for sequelae of peripheral facial paralysis and whether surface electromyography(sEMG)can be an outcome to evaluate the effect of this disease.Methods:Thirty-five patients with sequelae of peripheral facial paralysis were treated with catgut embedding at the acupoints selected according to their individual symptoms and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)differentiated syndromes.At the same time,the ginger-separated moxibustion was applied at Yifeng(翳风TE17)and Qianzheng(牵正EX-HN16)of the affected side.The catgut embedding was applied once every 15 days,one time of treatment is of one course,and a total of three courses were given.The moxibustion would be taken after 5 days of catgut embedding each time,once every other day,5 times as one course,a total of 3 courses are given.After treatment,the recovery of facial nerve functions was evaluated by House-Brackmann(H-B)facial nerve function evaluation grading system.Before and after treatment,the surface electromyography(sEMG)was used to detect the root-mean-square(RMS)of frontal muscles,cheek muscles,and orbicularis oris muscles to compare the RMS ratio of these muscles of affected side and healthy side.Results:After 3 courses of treatment,9 cases were cured,22 cases were effective,and 4 cases were ineffective.The total effective rate was 88.6%(31/35).After treatment,the RMS of frontal muscles,cheek muscles,and orbicularis oris muscles of the affected side were 31.56±4.25,34.13±4.28,and 7.46±1.53 respectively,significantly increased in comparing with 11.69±2.45,12.98±3.34,and 2.62±1.41 respectively before treatment(all P<0.05).After treatment,the RMS ratios of frontal muscles,cheek muscles,and orbicularis oris muscles of the affected side and healthy side were 0.73±0.09,0.71±0.11,and 0.68±0.08 respectively,greatly increased in comparing with 0.28±0.10,0.27±0.08,and 0.22±0.09 respectively before treatment(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Acupoint catgut embedding and ginger-separated moxibustion in combination can significantly improve the facial nerve functions,and sEMG used for evaluating the therapeutic effect can objectively reflect the effect of treatment. | 徐彬彬 朱立建 许瑞旭 蔡耿辉 林招国 | 2020 | World Journal of Acupuncture-Moxibustion2020,30,1: | 11 |
| 15 | Peripheral blood cell variations in cirrhotic portal hypertension patients with hypersplenism显示文摘Objective: To explore peripheral blood cell variations in hepatic cirrhosis portal hypertension patients with hypersplenism. Methods: Clinical data of 322 hypersplenism patients with decreased peripheral blood cells, admitted with cirrhotic portal hypertension, was retrospectively studied over the last 17 years. Results: In 64% (206/322) of patients, more than 2 kinds of blood cell were decreased, including 89 cases of pancytopenia (43.2%), 52 cases of WBC + PLT decrease (25.2%), 29 cases of RBC + PLT decrease (14.1%), and 36 cases of WBC + RBC decrease (17.5%); in 36% (116/322) of patients, single type blood cell decrease occurred, including 31 cases of PLT decrease (26.7%), 29 cases of WBC decrease (25%) and 56 cases of RBC decrease (48.3%). Of 227 routine bone marrow examinations, bone marrow hyperplasia was observed in 118 cases (52.0%), the remainder showed no hyperplasia. For the distinct scope and extent of peripheralblood cell decreases, preoperative blood component transfusions were carried out, then treated by surgery, after whole group splenectomy, the peripheral blood cell count was significantly higher ( P <0.05). Conclusions: Of portal hypertensive patients with splenomegaly and hypersplenism, 64% have simultaneous decrease in various blood cells, 36% have decrease in single type blood cells, 52% of patients have bone marrow hyperplasia. A splenectomy can significantly increase the reduction of peripheral blood cells. | Yun-Fu Lu Xin-Qiu Li Xiao-Yu Han Xiao-Guang Gong Shun-Wu Chang | 2013 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2013,6,8: | 11 |
| 16 | Silurian to Devonian foreland basin in the south edge of Tarim Basin显示文摘Based on the theory of plate tectonics, combin-ing with the isotopic dating of ophiolite, igneous and volcan-ics, geochemical test, rare earth element analyze and seismicinterpretation, this paper studies the pre-Carboniferous tec-tonics and sedimentary formation of the south edge of theTarim Basin and proves that there exists the Kunlun Oceanunder tensional tectonics during the Sinian and Cambrian inthe south edge of the Tarim Plate. After that, due to the colli-sion orogenesis, there formed the peripheral foreland basinin the south edge of Tarim. The Upper Silurian and Devo-nian molasses sedimentary system superposed on the Sinianand Middle Silurian passive margin flysch sedimentary sys-tem and formed the bivariate structure of the foreland basin.And at the same time, based on the field geology and seismicinterpretation, we have identified that the formation of theSilurian and Devonian have the character of half depositwhich shows thick in the south area and thin in the north,and the pre-Carboniferous thrust compression tectonics re-mained in the foreland thrust belt, which further demon-strates that there existed the Silurian and Devonian periph-eral foreland basin on the south edge of the Tarim Basin. | WEI Guoqi JIA Chengzao LI Benliang CHEN Hanlin | 2002 | Chinese Science Bulletin2002,47,S1: | 10 |
| 17 | Protective effect of hydrogen sulfide on oxidative stress-induced neurodegenerative diseases显示文摘Hydrogen sulfide is an antioxidant molecule that has a wide range of biological effects against oxidative stress. Balanced oxidative stress is also vital for maintaining cellular function in biological system, where reactive oxygen species are the main source of oxidative stress. When the normal redox balance is disturbed, deoxyribonucleic acid, lipid, and protein molecules are oxidized under pathological conditions, like diabetes mellitus that leads to diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In diabetes mellitus-induced diabetic peripheral neuropathy, due to hyperglycemia, pancreatic beta cell(β cell) shows resistance to insulin secretion. As a consequence, glucose metabolism is disturbed in neuronal cells which are distracted from providing proper cell signaling pathway. Not only diabetic peripheral neuropathy but also other central damages occur in brain neuropathy. Neurological studies regarding type 1 diabetes mellitus patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have shown changes in the central nervous system because high blood glucose levels(HbA1 c) appeared with poor cognitive function. Oxidative stress plays a role in inhibiting insulin signaling that is necessary for brain function. Hydrogen sulfide exhibits antioxidant effects against oxidative stress, where cystathionine β synthase, cystathionine γ lyase, and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase are the endogenous sources of hydrogen sulfide. This review is to explore the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus-induced diabetic peripheral neuropathy and other neurological comorbid disorders under the oxidative stress condition and the anti-oxidative effects of hydrogen sulfide. | Rubaiya Tabassum Na Young Jeong Junyang Jung | 2020 | Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,2: | 9 |
| 18 | Preoperative high level of D-dimers predicts unresectability of pancreatic head cancer显示文摘AIM: To assess the value of D-dimer level in determining resectability of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Preoperative prediction of pancreatic head cancer resectability remains inaccurate. The use of hemostatic factors may be of potential help, since D-dimers correlate with tumor stage. Single center clinical trial study comprised patients with potentially resectable pancreatic head tumor and without detectable venous thrombosis(n = 64). Resectability was defined as no evidence of nodal involvement, distant spread and no invasion of mesenteric vessels. Final decision of resectability was confirmed intraoperatively. Experienced pancreatic surgeon performed all surgeries. Following the dissection of hepatoduodenal ligament, samples of portal blood and bile were taken. Peripheral blood via central line and urine via Foley catheter were sampled. D-dimer levels were further measured.RESULTS: At laparotomy only 29(45.3%) tumors were found to be resectable. Our analysis showed higher by 57.5%(P < 0.001) mean D-dimer values in peripheral and 43.7%(P = 0.035) in portal blood of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Significant differences were not observed when analyzing D-dimer levels in bile and urine. Peripheral D-dimer level correlated with pancreatic cancer resectability. When cut-off D-dimer value of 570.6 μg/L was used, the sensitivity for assessment of tumor unresectability was 82.8%. Furthermore, D-dimer level in peripheral blood of metastatic disease(n = 15) was significantly higher when compared to locally advanced(n = 20) pancreatic cancer(2470 vs 1168, P = 0.029). The area under ROC curve for this subgroup of patients was 0.87; for determination of unresectable disease when threshold of 769.8 μg/L was used, sensitivity and specificity was 86.6% and 80%, respectively.CONCLUSION: Patients with resectable pancreatic head cancer based on preoperative imaging studies and high D-dimer level may be considered unresectable due to occult hepatic metastases. These patients may benefit from diagnostic laparoscopy to avoid exploratory laparotomy. | Adam Durczynski Anna Kumor Piotr Hogendorf Dariusz Szymanski Piotr Grzelak Janusz Strzelczyk | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,36: | 9 |

| 20 | Relationship between sonographically measured median nerve cross-sectional area and presence of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic subjects显示文摘BACKGROUND Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus resulting from direct damage by hyperglycemia to the nerves and/or ischemia by microvascular injury to the endoneurial vessels which supply the nerves. Median nerve is one of the peripheral nerves commonly affected in diabetic neuropathy. The median nerve size has been studied in non-Nigerian diabetic populations. In attempt to contribute to existing literature, a study in a Nigerian population is needed.AIM To evaluate the cross-sectional area(CSA) of the median nerve using B-mode ultrasonography(USS) and the presence of peripheral neuropathy(PN) in a cohort of adult diabetic Nigerians.METHODS Demographic and anthropometric data of 85 adult diabetes mellitus(DM) and 85 age-and sex-matched apparently healthy control(HC) subjects were taken. A complete physical examination was performed on all study subjects to determine the presence of PN and modified Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument(MNSI) was used to grade its severity. Venous blood was taken from the study subjects for fasting lipid profile(FLP), fasting blood glucose(FBG) and glycated haemoglobin(HbA1 c) while their MN CSA was evaluated at a point 5 cm proximal to(5 cmCATL) and at the carpal tunnel(CATL) by high-resolution Bmode USS. Data was analysed using SPSS version 22.RESULTS The mean MN CSA was significantly thicker in DM subjects compared to the HC at 5 cmCATL(P < 0.01) and at the CATL(P < 0.01) on both sides. The presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) further increased the MN CSA at the CATL(P < 0.05) but not at 5 cmCATL(P > 0.05). However, the severity of DPN had no additional effect on MN CSA 5 cm proximal to and at the CATL. There was no significant association between MN CSA and duration of DM and glycemic control.CONCLUSION Thickening of the MN CSA at 5 cmCATL and CATL is seen in DM. Presence of DPN is associated with worse thickening of the MN CSA at the CATL but not at5 cmCATL. Severity of DPN, duration of DM, and glycemic control had no additional effect on the MN CSA. | Fredrick ANDrew Attah Christianah Mopelola Asaleye Adeleye Dorcas Omisore Babatope Ayodeji Kolawole Adeniyi Sunday Aderibigbe Mathew Alo | 2019 | World Journal of Diabetes2019,10,1: | 8 |
