1Clinical significance of NOD2/CARD15 and Toll-like receptor 4 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms in inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), we investigated the single nucleotide poly- morphisms (SNPs) of NOD2/CARD15 (R702W, G908R and L1007fi nsC), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes (D299G and T399I) in a selected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population coming from Southern Italy. METHODS: Allele and genotype frequencies of NOD2/ CARD15 (R702W, G908R and L1007finsC) and TLR4 (D299G and T399I) SNPs were examined in 133 CD pa-tients, in 45 UC patients, and in 103 healthy controls. A genotype-phenotype correlation was performed. RESULTS: NOD2/CARD15 R702W mutation was sig-nificantly more frequent in CD (9.8%) than in controls (2.4%, P = 0.001) and in UC (2.3%, P = 0.03). No sig-nificant difference was found between UC patients and control group (P > 0.05). In CD and UC patients, no signifi cant association with G908R variant was found. L1007f insC SNP showed an association with CD (9.8%) compared with controls (2.9%, P = 0.002) and UC patients (2.3%, P = 0.01). Moreover, in CD patients, G908R and L1007finsC mutations were significantly associated with different phenotypes compared to CD wild-type patients. No association of IBD with the TLR4 SNPs was found in either cohort (allele frequencies: D299G-controls 3.9%, CD 3.7%, UC 3.4%, P > 0.05; T399I-controls 2.9%, CD 3.0%, UC 3.4%, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings confirm that, in our IBD patients selected from Southern Italy, the NOD2/ CARD15, but not TLR4 SNPs, are associated with in-creased risk of CD.Luciana Rigoli Claudio Romano Rosario Alberto Caruso Maria A Lo Presti Chiara Di Bella Vincenzo Procopio Giuseppina Lo Giudice Maria Amorini Giuseppe Costantino Maria D Sergi Caterina Cuppari Giovanna Elisa Calabrò Romina Gallizzi Carmelo Damiano Salpietro Walter Fries 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,28:8
2Serum chromogranin-A in hepatocellular carcinoma: Diagnostic utility and limits显示文摘AIM: The utility of serum alpha-fetoprotein (α-FP) for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is questionable.High serum levels of chromogranin-A (CgA) have recently been reported in HCC. Impaired hepatic, renal, and heart functions influence circulating CgA. The aim of this study was to assess sensitivity and specificity of serum CgA as a marker of HCC in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).METHODS: Serum CgA levels were measured by RIA in 339 patients of which 54 HCC, 132 LC, 45 chronic hepatitis (CH), 27 chronic heart failure (CHF), 36 chronic renal failure (CRF), 45 chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)as disease controls and in 75 healthy controls. Patients with liver disease or IBD and concomitant renal and/or heart failure were excluded. Pearson correlation, nonparametric combination test and confidence interval analysis were used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: Serum CgA above normal values (100 ng/mL)were found in 83% of HCC patients, in 48% of LC patients,in 20% of CH patients, in 33% of IBD patients, in 92% of CRF patients, in 100% of CHF patients, and in none of the healthy controls. The mean CgA values in HCC (769±1 046), in LC (249±369), in CH (87±94), in CRF (1 390±1 401), in CHF (577±539), in IBD (146±287) were significantly higher than those in healthy controls (48±18).HCC patients had higher CgA values (P<0.01) than LC,CH, and IBD patients but did not differ from those with CRF or CHF. The 95% CI for the mean (250-1 289 ng/mL)in HCC patients was selected as a CgA range and the lower value of such range was assumed as cut-off.Sensitivity and specificity of CgA, calculated in relation to the cut-off in patients with cirrhosis and HCC, were respectively 61% (CI 48-73%) and 82% (CI 75-88%).Serum α-FP values were >200 ng/mL in 21% of the HCC patients and in none of the LC patients. No significant correlation was found between α-FP and CgA in patients with HCC and in patients with cirrhosis.CONCLUSION: When HCC is suspected and α-FP is normal or <200 ng/mL, CgA serum values represent a complementary diagnostic tool, unless kidney or heart failure is present.Aldo Spadaro Antonino Ajello Carmela Morace Agata Zirilli Graziella D'arrigo Carmelo Luigiano Francesco Martino Anna Bene Domenico Migliorato Santi Turiano Oscar Ferraù Maria Antonietta Freni 2005World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,13:4
3Gastroesophageal reflux and congenital gastrointestinal malformations显示文摘Although the outcome of newborns with surgical congenital diseases(e.g.,diaphragmatic hernia;esophageal atresia;omphalocele;gastroschisis) has improved rapidly with recent advances in perinatal intensive care and surgery,infant survivors often require intensive treatment after birth,have prolonged hospitalizations,and,after discharge,may have longterm sequelae including gastro-intestinal comorbidities,above all,gastroesophageal reflux(GER).This condition involves the involuntary retrograde passage of gastric contents into the esophagus,with or without regurgitation or vomiting.It is a well-recognized condition,typical of infants,with an incidence of 85%,which usually resolves after physiological maturation of the lower esophageal sphincter and lengthening of the intra-abdominal esophagus,in the first few months after birth.Although the exact cause of abnormal esophageal function in congenital defects is not clearly understood,it has been hypothesized that common(increased intra-abdominal pressure after closure of the abdominal defect) and/or specific(e.g.,motility disturbance of the upper gastrointestinal tract,damage of esophageal peristaltic pump) pathological mechanisms may play a role in the etiology of GER in patients with birth defects.Improvement of knowledge could positively impact the long-term prognosis of patients with surgical congenital diseases.The present manuscript provides a literature review focused on pathological and clinical characteristics of GER in patients who have undergone surgical treatment for congenital abdominal malformations.Lucia Marseglia Sara Manti Gabriella D'Angelo Eloisa Gitto Carmelo Salpietro Antonio Centorrino Gianfranco Scalfari Giuseppe Santoro Pietro Impellizzeri Carmelo Romeo 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,28:3
4Role of the diet as a link between oxidative stress and liver diseases显示文摘Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen(free radicals) and the body's ability(antioxidant capacity) to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair the resulting damage. An adequate diet, characterized by daily intake of foods associated with improvementsin the total antioxidant capacity of individuals and reduced incidence of diseases related to oxidation, can modulate the degree of oxidative stress. In fact, dietderived micronutrients may be direct antioxidants, or are components of antioxidant enzymes, leading to improvement of some indicators of hepatic function. However, although their increased dietary intake might be beneficial, literature data are still controversial. This review summarizes what is known about the effects of diet nutrients on oxidative stress, inflammation and liver function. Moreover, we have analyzed:(1) the main nutritional components involved in the production and/or removal of free radicals; and(2) the role of free radicals in the pathogenesis of several hepatic diseases and related comorbidities.Teresa Arrigo Salvatore Leonardi Caterina Cuppari Sara Manti Angela Lanzafame Gabriella D'Angelo Eloisa Gitto Lucia Marseglia Carmelo Salpietro 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,2:2

18Prevalence of celiac disease in adult patients with refractory functional dyspepsia:Value of routine duodenal biopsy显示文摘AIM: To investigate the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in adult patients referred to an open access gas-troenterology clinic in the south of Italy and submitted to esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) for evaluation of refractory functional dyspepsia.METHODS: Seven hundred and twenty six consecutive dyspeptic patients (282 male, 444 female; mean age 39.6 years, range 18-75 years) with unexplained prolonged dyspepsia were prospectively enrolled. Duo-denal biopsies were taken and processed by standard staining. Histological evaluation was carried out according to the Marsh-Oberhuber criteria.RESULTS: The endoscopic findings were: normal in 61.2%, peptic lesions in 20.5%, malignancies in 0.5%, miscellaneous in 16.7%. CD was endoscopically diagnosed in 8 patients (1.1%), histologically in 15 patients (2%). The endoscopic features alone showed a sensitivity of 34.8% and specificity of 100%, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% and a negative predictive value (NPP) of 97.9%.CONCLUSION: This prospective study showed that CD has a high prevalence (1:48) in adult dyspeptic patients and suggests the routine use of duodenal biopsy in this type of patient undergoing EGD.Emiliano Giangreco Cinzia D'agate Carmelo Barbera Lidia Puzzo Giuseppe Aprile Pietro Naso Giacomo Bonanno Alessandra Nicoletti Salvatore Incarbone Giuseppe Trama Antonio Russo Francesco Paolo Russo 2008World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,45:1
