| 1 | Usefulness of noninvasive transient elastography for assessment of liver fibrosis stage in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the method of noninvasive transient elastography for assessment of histological stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). METHODS: Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with CHC were included in this study. Liver biopsy was performed under ultrasonography on 217 of the patients, excluding twenty with clear clinical evidence of liver cirrhosis. Fifty subjects without liver disease were enrolled as a control group (stage 0). Twenty- five patients with sustained virological response (SVR) to interferon (IFN) therapy were also enrolled. These patients underwent liver biopsy before IFN therapy. Examination of liver stiffness (LS) was performed by elastography. RESULTS: Medians (50% levels) of LS were 4.1 (3.5-4.9), 6.3 (4.8-8.5), 8.8 (6.8-12.0), 14.6 (10.5-18.6), and 22.2 (15.4-28.0), respectively, in the fibrosis stages 0-4 (P < 0.001). LS was significantly correlated with four serum fibrosis markers. LS values in patients with SVR were 3.8 (3.5-5.6), 5.2 (4.4-6.8), 6.8 (6.1-7.6), and 6.1 (3.6-7.9), respectively, in the fibrosis stages 1-4. In all stages, LS for patients with SVR was significantly lower than that for patients who did not undergo IFN therapy. LS was significantly correlated with serum concentrations of hyaluronic acid, type Ⅳ collagen, type Ⅳ collagen 7S, and type Ⅲ procollagen N peptide. CONCLUSION: LS correlated well with the histologicalstage of fibrosis. Changes in liver fibrosis stage may thus be estimated noninvasively using transient elastography. | Tadashi Takeda Takahiro Yasuda Yuji Nakayama Mika Nakaya Megumi Kimura Mariko Yamashita Ayumi Sawada Koji Abo Setsuko Takeda Hiroki Sakaguchi Susumu Shiomi Hitoshi Asai Shuichi Seki | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,48: | 16 |
| 2 | Impact of obesity on the surgical outcome following repeat hepatic resection in Japanese patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the impact of obesity on the posto- perative outcome after hepatic resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: Data from 328 consecutive patients with primary HCC and 60 patients with recurrent HCC were studied. We compared the surgical outcomes between the non-obese group (body mass index: BMI < 25 kg/m2) and the obese group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). RESULTS: Following curative hepatectomy in patients with primary HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications and the long-term prognosis in the non- obese group (n = 240) were comparable to those in the obese group (n = 88). Among patients with recurrent HCC, the incidence of postoperative complications after repeat hepatectomy was not significantly different between the non-obese group (n = 44) and the obese group (n = 16). However, patients in the obese group showed a significantly poorer long-term prognosis than those in the non-obese group (P < 0.05, five-yearsurvival rate; 51.9% and 92.0%, respectively). CONCLUSION: Obesity alone may not have an adverse effect on the surgical outcomes of patients with primary HCC. However, greater caution seems to be required when planning a repeat hepatectomy for obese patients with recurrent HCC. | Tohru Utsunomiya Masahiro Okamoto Toshihumi Kameyama Ayumi Matsuyama Manabu Yamamoto Megumu Fujiwara Masaki Mori Shiomi Aimitsu Teruyoshi Ishida | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,10: | 10 |
| 3 | Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors VEGFR-1 and 2 in gastrointestinal stromal tumors,leiomyomas and schwannomas显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors VEGFR-1 and 2 in the growth and differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). METHODS: Thirty-three GISTs, 15 leiomyomas and 6 schwannomas were examined by immunohistochemistry in this study. RESULTS: VEGF protein was expressed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, and VEGFR-1 and 2 were expressed both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of all tumors. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that 26 GISTs (78.8%), 9 leiomyomas (60.0%) and 3 schwannomas (50.0%) were positive for VEGF; 24 GISTs (72.7%), 12 leiomyomas (80.0%) and 4 schwannomas (66.7%) were positive for VEGFR-1; 30 GISTs (90.9%), 5 leiomyomas (33.3%) and 4 schwannomas (66.7%) were positive for VEGFR-2. VEGFR-2 expression was statistically different between GISTs and leiomyomas (p < 0.0001). However, there was no correlation between the expression of VEGF pathway componenets and the clinical risk categories. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the VEGF pathway may play an important role in the differentiation of GISTs, leiomyomas and schwannomas. | Toshiyuki Nakayama Yang Cheul Cho Yuka Mine Ayumi Yoshizaki Shinji Naito Chun Yang Wen Ichiro Sekine | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,38: | 9 |
| 4 | Expressions of sonic hedgehog, patched, smoothened and Gli-1 in human intestinal stromal tumors and their correlation with prognosis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role that the hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, which includes sonic hedgehog (Shh), Patched (Ptc), Smoothened (Smo) and Gli-1, plays in hu- man gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). METHODS: Surgically resected specimens from pa- tients with GISTs, leiomyomas and schwannomas were examined by immunohistochemical staining for aberrant expression of hedgehog signaling components, Shh, Ptc, Smo and Gli-1, respectively. RESULTS: In GISTs, 58.1% (18 of 31), 77.4% (24 of 31), 80.6% (25 of 31) and 58.1% (18 of 31) of the specimens stained positive for Shh, Ptc, Smo and Gli-1, respectively. In leiomyomas, 92.3% (12 of 13), 92.3% (12 of 13), 69.2% (9 of 13) and 92.3% (12 of 13) stained positive for Shh, Ptc, Smo and Gli-1, respectively. In schwannomas, 83.3% (5 of 6), 83.3% (5 of 6), 83.3% (5 of 6) and 100% (6 of 6) stained positive for Shh, Ptc, Smo and Gli-1, respectively. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the expressions of Shh and Gli-1 were sig- nificantly higher in leiomyomas than in GISTs (P < 0.05, respectively). Shh expression strongly correlated with the grade of tumor risk category and with tumor size (P < 0.05, respectively). However, the expressions of Ptc and Smo did not correlate with histopathological differentiation. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the Hh sig- naling pathway may play an important role in myogenic differentiation and the malignant potential of human in-testinal stromal tumors. | Ayumi Yoshizaki Toshiyuki Nakayama Shinji Naito Chun-Yang Wen Ichiro Sekine | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,35: | 9 |
| 5 | Expression of Interleukin-11 and Interleukin-11 receptor a in human colorectal adenocarcinoma; Immunohistochemical analyses and correlation with clinicopathological factors显示文摘AIM: There is strong evidence that interleukin-11 (IL-11) is involved in the regulation of tumor progression, cellular growth and differentiation. Recently, interleukin-11 receptor (IL-11R) has been detected on some cancer cells. In this study, we investigated the expression of IL-11 and IL-11R in colorectal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: To elucidate the involvement of IL-11 and IL-11Ra in human intestinal adenocarcinomas, we examined 115 cases of surgically resected human colonic adenocarcinoma and 11 cases of adenoma by immuno-histochemistry and Western blotting. RESULTS: Among 115 cases of adenocarcinoma, 100 cases (87.0%) showed positive staining in the cytoplasm of carcinoma cells for the IL-11, and 87 cases (75.6%) were positive for the IL-11Ra. Six cases (54.5%) and four cases (36.4%) of 11 adenomas were positive for IL-11 and IL-11Ra, respectively. The expression of IL-11Ra correlated with the histological differentiation (P=0.033503), the depth of tumor invasion (P=0.006395), Dukes' classification (P= 0.015648) and lymphatic invasion (P=0.003865). However, the expression of IL-11Ra was not correlated with the venous invasion and the presence of lymph node metastasis. The expression of IL-11 was not correlated with any clinicopathological factors. In Western blot analysis, two human colorectal carcinoma cell lines and four tissues of surgically resected human carcinoma expressed both IL-11 and IL-11Ra proteins. CONCLUSION: IL-11 and IL-11Ra are highly expressed in human colorectal adenocarcinoma and the IL-11Ra expression is correlated with clinicopathological factors. These findings suggest that the expression of IL-11Ra is an important factor for the invasion of human colorectal adenocarcinoma. | Kazuyuki Yamazumi Toshiyuki Nakayama Takafumi Kusaba Chun Yang Wen Ayumi Yoshizaki Yuichi Yakata Takeshi Nagayasu Ichiro Sekine | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,2: | 7 |
| 6 | Serum autotaxin levels are correlated with hepatic fibrosis and ballooning in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM To examine the relationship between serum autotaxin(ATX) concentrations and clinicopathological findings in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) patients.METHODS One hundred eighty-six NAFLD patients who had undergone liver biopsy between 2008 and 2017 were retrospectively enrolled.Serum samples were collected at the time of biopsy and ATX was measured by enzyme immunoassays.Sera obtained from 160 healthy,nonobese individuals were used as controls.Histological findings were graded according to an NAFLD scoring system and correlations with serum ATX were calculated by Spearman's test.Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).Cut-off values were identified by the Youden index,and the nearest clinically applicable value to the cutoff was considered the optimal threshold for clinical convenience.RESULTS Serum ATX levels were significantly higher in NAFLD patients than in controls(0.86 mg/L vs 0.76 mg/L,P < 0.001) and correlated significantly with ballooning score and fibrosis stage(r = 0.36,P < 0.001 and r = 0.45,P < 0.001,respectively).Such tendencies were stronger in female patients.There were no remarkable relationships between ATX and serum alanine aminotransferase,lipid profiles,or steatosis scores.The AUC values of ATX for predicting the presence of fibrosis(≥ F1),significant fibrosis(≥ F2),severe fibrosis(≥ F3),and cirrhosis(F4),were all more than 0.70 in respective analyses.CONCLUSION Serum ATX levels may at least partially reflect histological severity in NAFLD. | Naoyuki Fujimori Takeji Umemura Takefumi Kimura Naoki Tanaka Ayumi Sugiura Tomoo Yamazaki Satoru Joshita Michiharu Komatsu Yoko Usami Kenji Sano Koji Igarashi Akihiro Matsumoto Eiji Tanaka | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,11: | 6 |
| 7 | Expression of Angiopoietin-1, 2 and 4 and Tie-1 and 2 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor, leiomyoma and schwannoma显示文摘AIM: To investigate the role of angiopoietin (Ang) -1, -2 and -4 and its receptors, Tie-1 and -2, in the growth and differentiation of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).METHODS: Thirty GISTs, seventeen leiomyomas and six schwannomas were examined by immunohistochemistry in this study.RESULTS: Ang-1, -2 and -4 proteins were expressed in the cytoplasm of tumor cells, and Tie-1 and -2 were expressed both in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of all tumors. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that 66.7% of GISTs (20 of 30), 76.5% of leiomyomas (13 of 17) and 83.3% of schwannomas (5 of 6) were positive for Ang-1. 83.3% of GISTs (25 of 30), 82.4% of leiomyomas (14 of 17) and 100% of schwannomas (6 of 6) were positive for Ang-2. 36.7% of GISTs (11 of 30), 58.8% of leiomyomas (10 of 17) and 83.3% of schwannomas (5 of 6) were positive for Ang-4. 60.0% of GISTs (18 of 30), 82.4% of leiomyomas and 100% of schwannomas (6 of 6) were positive for Tie-1. 10.0% of GISTs (3 of 30), 94.1% of leiomyomas (16 of 17) and 33.3% of schwannomas (2 of 6) were positive for Tie-2. Tie-2 expression was statistically different between GISTs and leiomyomas (P < 0.001). However, there was no correlation between expression of angiopoietin pathway components and clinical risk categories.CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the angiopoietin pathway plays an important role in the differentiation of GISTs, leiomyomas and schwannomas. | Toshiyuki Nakayama Maki Inaba Shinji Naito Yumi Mihara Shiro Miura Mitsuru Taba Ayumi Yoshizaki Chun-Yang Wen Ichiro Sekine | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,33: | 6 |
| 8 | Mild drinking habit is a risk factor for hepatocarcinogenesis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease with advanced fibrosis显示文摘AIM The impact of mild drinking habit(less than 20 g/d of ethanol) on the clinical course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) has not been determined. We examined the influence of a mild drinking habit on liver carcinogenesis from NAFLD. METHODS A total of 301 patients who had been diagnosed as having NAFLD by liver biopsy between 2003 and 2016 [median age: 56 years, 45% male, 56% with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, 26% with advanced fibrosis(F3-4)] were divided into the mild drinking group withe thanol consumption of less than 20 g/d(mild drinking group, n = 93) and the non-drinking group(n = 208). Clinicopathological features at the time of liver biopsy and factors related to hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) occurrence were compared between the groups.RESULTS We observed significant differences in male prevalence(P = 0.01), platelet count(P = 0.04), and gammaglutamyl transpeptidase(P = 0.02) between the test groups. Over 6 years of observation, the HCC appearance rate was significantly higher in the mild drinking group(6.5% vs 1.4%, P = 0.02). Multivariate survival analysis using Cox's regression model revealed that hepatic advanced fibrosis(F3-4)(P < 0.01, risk ratio: 11.60), diabetes mellitus(P < 0.01, risk ratio: 89.50), and serum triglyceride(P = 0.04, risk ratio: 0.98) were factors significantly related to HCC in all NAFLD patients, while the effect of a drinking habit was marginal(P = 0.07, risk ratio: 4.43). In patients with advanced fibrosis(F3-4), however, a drinking habit(P = 0.04, risk ratio: 4.83), alpha-fetoprotein(P = 0.01, risk ratio: 1.23), and diabetes mellitus(P = 0.03, risk ratio: 12.00) were identified as significant contributors to HCC occurrence. CONCLUSION A mild drinking habit appears to be a risk factor for hepatocarcinogenesis in NAFLD patients, especially those with advanced fibrosis. | Takefumi Kimura Naoki Tanaka Naoyuki Fujimori Ayumi Sugiura Tomoo Yamazaki Satoru Joshita Michiharu Komatsu Takeji Umemura Akihiro Matsumoto Eiji Tanaka | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,13: | 6 |
| 9 | Association between endotoxemia and histological features of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM To assess whether surrogate biomarkers of endotoxemia were correlated with the histological features ofnonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).METHODS One hundred twenty-six NAFLD patients who had undergone percutaneous liver biopsy were enrolled. Serum lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-binding protein(LBP) and anti-endotoxin core immunoglobulin G(Endo Cab Ig G) antibody concentrations at the time of liver biopsy were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to examine for relationships between biomarker levels and histological scores. RESULTS Serum LBP concentration was significantly increased in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) patients as compared with nonalcoholic fatty liver(NAFL) subjects and was correlated with steatosis(r = 0.38, P < 0.0001) and ballooning scores(r = 0.23, P = 0.01), but not with the severity of lobular inflammation or fibrosis. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that LBP was associated with steatosis score and circulating C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase, and fibrinogen levels. Serum Endo Cab Ig G concentration was comparable between NASH and NAFL patients. No meaningful correlations were detected between Endo Cab Ig G and histological findings. CONCLUSION LBP/Endo Cab Ig G were not correlated with lobular inflammation or fibrosis. More accurate LPS biomarkers are required to stringently assess the contribution of endotoxemia to conventional NASH. | Hiroyuki Kitabatake Naoki Tanaka Naoyuki Fujimori Michiharu Komatsu Ayaka Okubo Kyogo Kakegawa Takefumi Kimura Ayumi Sugiura Tomoo Yamazaki Soichiro Shibata Yuki Ichikawa Satoru Joshita Takeji Umemura Akihiro Matsumoto Masayoshi Koinuma Kenji Sano Toshifumi Aoyama Eiji Tanaka | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,4: | 5 |

| 11 | Mechanisms and anatomical risk factors of pneumothorax after Bevacizumab use:A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Bevacizumab is an antiangiogenic agent,and that synergizes with chemotherapeutic drugs.When used in combination therapies,Bevacizumab is associated with adverse events such as hemorrhage,gastrointestinal perforation,delayed wound healing,and pneumothorax.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying these adverse events are not fully understood.CASE SUMMARY A 45-year-old female with multiple lung metastases that were derived from primary breast cancer,was placed on Bevacizumab+paclitaxel therapy,since this combination has a potent antitumor effect.She reported dyspnea before cycle 3,day 1 and we therefore ran a chest X-ray,which detected a right pneumothorax.The coronal plane computed tomography revealed that one solid mass rapidly necrosed and was replaced by a cavity that passed through the bronchus in the right lower lobe.The cavity eventually ruptured the pleura and made the bronchopleural fistula that led to this pneumothorax.Thoracic cavity drainage using an intercostal catheter was performed.On the 7th day of drainage,the patient was discharged from our hospital on recovery.Recurrence of pneumothorax was not reported,and continuation of chemotherapy was made possible by changing the regimen.CONCLUSION Patients with lung metastases surrounding the bronchi and on the pleura should be monitored for pneumothorax by Bevacizumab-containing chemotherapies. | Yuri Ozaki Akiyo Yoshimura Masataka Sawaki Masaya Hattori Naomi Gondo Haruru Kotani Yayoi Adachi Ayumi Kataoka Kayoko Sugino Nanae Horisawa Yuka Endo Kazuki Nozawa Shoko Sakamoto Hiroji Iwata | 2020 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2020,11,7: | 2 |

| 13 | Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst:an increasingly diagnosed condition显示文摘BACKGROUND:Ciliated foregut cysts of the liver are rare, with only 96 cases diagnosed since the first description in 1857.They are being increasingly diagnosed recently;the majority of the cases have been reported in the last 15 years. Although they bear a close resemblance to the simple cyst of the liver which has essentially a benign course,ciliated hepatic foregut cysts(CHFCs)can progress to malignancy with devastating consequences.It is imperative that this group of conditions be diagnosed and treated adequately. DATA SOURCES:This review includes discussion of the data from all the 96 reported cases from English and non-English literature.Analysis of the incidence rates, embryogenesis,growth,clinical features,risk of malignancy and the prognosis are highlighted systematically.The roles of various diagnostic modalities including ultrasound, CT,MRI,fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC), immunohistochemistry and surgery are further discussed. RESULTS:The mean age of patients with CHFC was 48± 12 years.The male/female ratio was 1.1∶1.The majority of patients with CHFC(62%)were asymptomatic,and the common mode of presentation was right upper abdominal pain.The cysts occurred in the left lobe in 51 patients, with sole location in segmentⅣin 44,and in the right lobe in 26.The average size of the cysts was 3.6±2.12 cm. The majority of the cysts were unilocular,and only 7 cases were multilocular.Cyst contents were described as viscous or mucinous in 73 patients,whereas bilious fluid was noted in 3.Large cysts having squamous carcinoma were cited in 3 patients,and 2 had extensive squamous metaplasia without malignancy.Others had benign histopathology. CONCLUSIONS:Clinicians have become increasingly aware of CHFC.Imaging alone is not diagnostic per se, but when considered in the context of the global picture does provide important clues to the diagnosis.FNAC is diagnostic by the presence of the ciliated columnar aspirate but lacks sensitivity.Infantile presentation is usually accompanied by biliary communication and mandates a different surgical approach.The demonstration of malignant transformation in 3 cases and its fatal course emphasizes the need for surgical resection in all cases once the diagnosis is made. | Sharad Sharma Amanda G.Dean Ayumi Corn Vivek Kohli Harlan I Wright Anthony Sebastian Nicolas Jabbour | 2008 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2008,7,6: | 2 |
