| 1 | Trans-arterial chemo-embolization is safe and effective for very elderly patients with hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To assess the safety and efficacy of trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) in very elderly patients. METHODS: A prospective cohort study, from 2001 to 2010, compared clinical outcomes following TACE between patients ≥ 75 years old and younger patients (aged between 65 and 75 years and younger than 65 years) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), diagnosed according to the European Association for the Study of the Liver and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases criteria. The decision that patients were not candidates for curative therapy was made by a multidisciplinary HCC team. Data collected included demographics, co-morbidities, liver disease etiology, liver disease severity and the number of procedures. The primary outcome was mortality; secondary outcomes included post-embolization syndrome (nausea, fever, abdominal right upper quadrant pain, increase in liver enzymes with no evidence of sepsis and with a clinical course limited to 3-4 d post procedure) and 30-d complications. Additionally, changes in liver enzyme measurements were assessed [alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT and AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase] in the week following TACE. Analysis employed both univariate and multivariate methods (Cox regression models). RESULTS: Of 102 patients who underwent TACE as sole treatment, 10 patients (9.8%) were > 80 years old at diagnosis; 13 (12.7%) were between 75 and 80 years, 45 (44.1%) were between 65 and 75 years and 34 (33.3%) were younger than 65 years. Survival analysis demonstrated similar survival patterns between the elderly patients and younger patients. Age was also not associated with the adverse event rate. Survival rates at 1, 2 and 3 years from diagnosis were 74%, 37% and 31% among patients < 65 years; 83%, 66% and 48% among patients aged 65 to 75 years; and 86%, 41% and 23% among patients ≥ 75 years. There were no differences between the age groups in the pre-procedural care, including preventive treatment for contrast nephropathy and prophylactic antibiotics. Multivariate survival analysis, controlling for disease stage at diagnosis with the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer score, number of TACE procedures, sex and alphafetoprotein level at the time of diagnosis, found no significant difference in the mortality hazard for elderly vs younger patients, and there were no differences in post-procedural complications. Serum creatinine levels did not change after 55% of the procedures, in all age groups. In 42% of all procedures, serum creatinine levels increased by no more than 25% above the baseline levels prior to TACE. Overall, there were 69 post-embolization events (23%). Hepatocellular enzymes often increased following TACE, with no association with prognosis. In 40% of the procedures, ALT and AST levels rose by at least 100%. The increases in hepatocellular enzymes occurred similarly in all age groups. CONCLUSION: TACE is safe and effective in very elderly patients with HCC, and is not associated with decreased survival or increased complication rates. | Matan J Cohen Allan I Bloom Orly Barak Alexander Klimov Tova Nesher Daniel Shouval Izhar Levi Oren Shibolet | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,16: | 13 |

| 4 | Incremental value of magnetic resonance neurography of Lumbosacral plexus over non-contributory lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging in radiculopathy: A prospective study显示文摘AIM: To test the incremental value of 3T magnetic resonance neurography(MRN) in a series of unilateral radiculopathy patients with non-contributory magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).METHODS: Ten subjects(3 men,7 women; mean age54 year and range 22-74 year) with unilateral lumbar radiculopathy and with previous non-contributory lumbar spine MRI underwent lumbosacral(LS) plexus MRN over a period of one year. Lumbar spine MRI performed as part of the MRN LS protocol as well as bilateral L4-S1 nerves,sciatic,femoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves were evaluated in each subject for neuropathy findings on both anatomic(nerve signal,course and caliber alterations) and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)tensor maps(nerve signal and caliber alterations).Minimum fractional anisotropy(FA) and mean apparent diffusion coeffcient(ADC) of L4-S2 nerve roots,sciatic and femoral nerves were recorded.RESULTS: All anatomic studies and 80% of DTI imaging received a good-excellent imaging quality grading. In a blinded evaluation,all 10 examinations demonstrated neural and/or neuromuscular abnormality corresponding to the site of radiculopathy. A number of contributory neuropathy findings including double crush syndrome were observed. On DTI tensor maps,nerve signal and caliber alterations were more conspicuous. Although individual differences were observed among neuropathic appearing nerve(lower FA and increased ADC) as compared to its contralateral counterpart,there were no significant mean differences on statistical comparison of LS plexus nerves,femoral and sciatic nerves(P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: MRN of LS plexus is useful modality for the evaluation of patients with non-contributory MRI of lumbar spine as it can incrementally delineate the etiology and provide direct objective and non-invasive evidence of neuromuscular pathology. | Avneesh Chhabra Sahar J Farahani Gaurav K Thawait Vibhor Wadhwa Allan J Belzberg John A Carrino | 2016 | World Journal of Radiology2016,8,1: | 4 |
| 5 | Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in Scotland 2000-2010: Improved outcomes but a significant weekend effect显示文摘AIM: To assess numbers and case fatality of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding(UGIB),effects of deprivation and whether weekend presentation affected outcomes.METHODS: Data was obtained from Information Services Division(ISD) Scotland and National Records of Scotland(NRS) death records for a ten year period between 2000-2001 and 2009-2010. We obtained data from the ISD Scottish Morbidity Records(SMR01) database which holds data on inpatient and daycase hospital discharges from non-obstetric and nonpsychiatric hospitals in Scotland. The mortality data was obtained from NRS and linked with the ISD SMR01 database to obtain 30-d case fatality. We used 23 ICD-10(International Classification of diseases) codes which identify UGIB to interrogate database. We analysed these data for trends in number of hospital admissions with UGIB,30-d mortality over time and assessed effects of social deprivation. We compared weekend and weekday admissions for differences in 30-d mortality and length of hospital stay. We determined comorbidities for each admission to establish if comorbidities contributed to patient outcome. RESULTS: A total of 60643 Scottish residents were admitted with UGIH during January,2000 and October,2009. There was no significant change in annual number of admissions over time,but there was a statistically significant reduction in 30-d case fatality from 10.3% to 8.8%(P < 0.001) over these 10 years. Number of admissions with UGIB was higher for the patients from most deprived category(P < 0.05),although case fatality was higher for the patients from the least deprived category(P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant change in this trend between 2000/01-2009/10. Patients admitted with UGIB at weekends had higher 30-d case fatality compared with those admitted on weekdays(P < 0.001). Thirty day mortality remained significantly higher for patients admitted with UGIB at weekends after adjusting for comorbidities. Length of hospital stay was also higher overall for patients admitted at the weekend when compared to weekdays,although only reached statistical significance for the last year of study 2009/10(P < 0.0005). CONCLUSION: Despite reduction in mortality for UGIB in Scotland during 2000-2010,weekend admissions show a consistently higher mortality and greater lengths of stay compared with weekdays. | Asma Ahmed Matthew Armstrong Ishbel Robertson Allan John Morris Oliver Blatchford Adrian J Stanley | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,38: | 4 |
| 6 | 血脂、脂蛋白和载脂蛋白作为心肌梗死风险标志物(INTER-HEART研究):在52个国家进行的一项病例对照研究显示文摘背景载脂蛋白作为冠心痛的标志物是否优于血脂和脂蛋白,目前存在广泛争议。本研究旨在对载脂蛋白和胆固醇作为急性心肌梗死风险指标进行比较.
方法在52个国家的12461例急性心肌梗死患者和14637例年龄(±5岁)、性别匹配的对照者中进行了一项有关急性心肌梗死的大型、标准化病例对照研究。获得了9345例急性心肌梗死患者和12120例对照者的非空腹血液样本。测定了血脂、脂蛋白和载脂蛋白浓度,并计算了胆固醇和栽脂蛋白比值通过比较五分位数的上四位与最低位,计算每一总体测值和每一种族组的优势比(0R)及其95%CI以及人群归因危险度(PAR)。
结果载脂蛋白B100(ApoB)/载脂蛋白A1(ApoA1)比值的PAR最高(54%),其每一标准差差别的OR最高(1.59,95%CI1.53~1.64)。LDL胆固醇/HDL-胆固醇比值的PAR为37%;总胆固醇/HDL-胆固醇的PAR为32%,其显著低于ApoB/A1比值的PAR(P〈0.0001)。这些结果在所有种族组、男女两性组及所有年龄组均一致。
结论在所有种族组、男女两性组及所有年龄组,非空腹ApoB/A1比值在评估急性心肌梗死风险方面优于任何胆固醇比值,其应当被引入全世界的临床实践中。 | Matthew J McQueen Steven Hawken Xingyu Wang Stephanie Ounpuu Allan Sniderman Jeffrey Probstfield Krisela Steyn John E Sanderson Mahammad Hasani Emilia Volkova Khawar Kazmi Salim Yusuf 郭战宏(译) | 2008 | 世界临床医学2008,2,6: | 3 |
