| 1 | Hepatitis B virus burden in developing countries显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection has shown an intermediate or high endemicity level in low-income countries over the last five decades. In recent years, however, the incidence of acute hepatitis B and the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen chronic carriers have decreased in several countries because of the HBV universal vaccination programs started in the nineties. Some countries, however, are still unable to implement these programs, particularly in their hyperendemic rural areas. The diffusion of HBV infection is still wide in several low-income countries where the prevention, management and treatment of HBV infection are a heavy burden for the governments and healthcare authorities. Of note, the information on the HBV epidemiology is scanty in numerous eastern European and Latin-American countries. The studies on molecular epidemiology performed in some countries provide an important contribution for a more comprehensive knowledge of HBV epidemiology, and phylogenetic studies provide information on the impact of recent and older migratory flows. | Rosa Zampino Adriana Boemio Caterina Sagnelli Loredana Alessio Luigi Elio Adinolfi Evangelista Sagnelli Nicola Coppola | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，42： | 25 |
| 2 | Pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) encompasses a range of liver histology severity and outcomes in the absence of chronic alcohol use.The mildest form is simple steatosis in which triglycerides accumulate within hepatocytes.A more advanced form of NAFLD,nonalcoholic steatohepatitis,includes inflammation and liver cell injury,progressive to cryptogenic cirrhosis.NAFLD has become the most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents.The recent rise in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity likely explains the NAFLD epidemic worldwide.NAFLD is strongly associated with abdominal obesity,type 2 diabetes,and dyslipidemia,and most patients have evidence of insulin resistance.Thus,NAFLD shares many features of the metabolic syndrome(MetS),a highly atherogenic condition,and this has stimulated interest in the possible role of NAFLD in the development of atherosclerosis.Accumulating evidence suggests thatNAFLD is associated with a significantly greater overall mortality than in the general population,as well as with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease(CVD),independently of classical atherosclerotic risk factors.Yet,several studies including the pediatric population have reported independent associations between NAFLD and impaired flow-mediated vasodilatation and increased carotid artery intimal medial thickness-two reliable markers of subclinical atherosclerosis-after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors and MetS.Therefore,the rising prevalence of obesity-related MetS and NAFLD in childhood may lead to a parallel increase in adverse cardiovascular outcomes.In children,the cardiovascular system remains plastic and damage-reversible if early and appropriate interventions are established effectively.Therapeutic goals for NAFLD should address nutrition,physical activity,and avoidance of smoking to prevent not only end-stage liver disease but also CVD. | Lucia Pacifico Valerio Nobili Caterina Anania Paola Verdecchia Claudio Chiesa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，26： | 24 |
| 3 | Mediterranean diet and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is emerging as the most common chronic liver disease, and is characterized by a wide spectrum of fat-liver disorders that can result in severe liver disease and cirrhosis. Inflammation and oxidative stress are the major risk factors involved in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Currently, there is no consensus concerning the pharmacological treatment of NAFLD. However, lifestyle interventions based on exercise and a balanced diet for quality and quantity, are considered the cornerstone of NAFLD management. Mediterranean diet(MD), rich in polyunsaturated fats, polyphenols, vitamins and carotenoids, with their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, has been suggested to be effective in preventing cardiovascular risk factors. In adults, MD has also been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing the risk of metabolic syndrome. However, few studies are available on the effects of the MD in both adult and pediatric subjects with NAFLD. Thus, the aims of the present narrative review are to analyze the current clinical evidence on the impact of MD in patients with NAFLD, and to summarize the main mechanisms of action of MD components on this condition. | Caterina Anania Francesco Massimo Perla Francesca Olivero Lucia Pacifico Claudio Chiesa | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018，24，19： | 19 |
| 4 | High circulating D-dimers are associated with ascites and hepatocellular carcinoma in liver cirrhosis显示文摘AIM: To measure plasma D-dimer levels in cirrhotic patients with and without ascites, assessing the effect of ascites resolution in D-dimer concentration. METHODS: Seventy consecutive cirrhotic patients (M = 44, F = 26, mean age 65 years, SD ± 13), observed from October 2005 to March 2006 were enrolled. Circulating D-dimer levels were measured using a latex-enhanced, immunoturbidimetric test. In patients with ascites (n = 42) the test was repeated after ascites resolution. RESULTS: Ascites was present in 42 patients (group A) and absent in 28 (group B). Group A patients had more advanced liver disease. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was diagnosed in 14 patients and was more frequent in group B. Above normal range D-dimers were found in 45/70 patients. High D-dimers were more frequent in group A than in group B (P = 0.001). High D-dimers were associated with presence of HCC (P = 0.048) only in group B. After ascites resolution, obtained in all patients, mean D-dimer values decreased in those 34 patients with high basal levels (P = 0.007), returning to normal in 17. CONCLUSION: In patients with liver cirrhosis, ascites and HCC are the main factors associated with increased fibrinolytic activity. | Aldo Spadaro Vincenza Tortorella Carmela Morace Agostino Fortiguerra Paola Composto Caterina Bonfiglio Angela Alibrandi Carmelo Luigiano Giuseppe De Caro Antonino Ajello Oscar Ferraù Maria Antonietta Freni | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，10： | 19 |
| 5 | Current concepts and future strategies in the antimicrobial therapy of emerging Gram-positive spontaneous bacterial peritonitis显示文摘Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) is the most common infection in end-stage liver disease patients.SBP is defined as an ascitic fluid infection with a polymorphonuclear leucocyte count ≥ 250/mm^3 without an evident intra-abdominal surgically treatable source.Several mechanisms contribute to SBP occurrence,including translocation of gut bacteria and their products,reduced intestinal motility provoking bacterial overgrowth,alteration of the gut's barrier function and local immune responses.Historically,Gram-negative enteric bacteria have been the main causative agents of SBP,thereby guiding the empirical therapeutic choice.However,over the last decade,a worryingly increasing prevalence of Gram-positive and multi-drug resistant(MDR) SBP has been seen.Recently,the microbiological spectrum of SBP seems to have changed in Europe due to a high prevalence of Gram-positive bacteria(48%-62%).The overall proportion of MDR bacteria is up to 22%-73% of cases.Consequently,empirical therapy based on thirdgeneration cephalosporins or amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,can no longer be considered the standard of care,as these drugs are associated with poor outcomes.Theaim of this review is to describe,with an epidemiological focus,the evidence behind this rise in Gram-positive and MDR SBP from 2000 to present,and illustrate potential targeted therapeutic strategies.An appropriate treatment protocol should include daptomycin plus ceftaroline and meropenem,with prompt stepdown to a narrower spectrum when cultures and sensitivity data are available in order to reduce both cost and potential antibiotic resistance development. | Marco Fiore Alberto Enrico Maraolo Ivan Gentile Guglielmo Borgia Sebastiano Leone Pasquale Sansone Maria Beatrice Passavanti Caterina Aurilio Maria Caterina Pace | 2017 | World Journal of Hepatology2017，9，30： | 13 |
| 6 | Consequences of Helicobacter pylori infection in children显示文摘Although evidence is emerging that the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is declining in all age groups, the understanding of its disease spectrum continues to evolve. If untreated, H. pylori infection is lifelong. Although H. pylori typically colonizes the hu-man stomach for many decades without adverse con-sequences, children infected with H. pylori can manifest gastrointestinal diseases. Controversy persists regarding testing (and treating) for H. pylori infection in children with recurrent abdominal pain, chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia, and poor growth. There is evidence of the role of H. pylori in childhood iron deficiency anemia, but the results are not conclusive. The possibility of an inverse relationship between H. pylori and gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as childhood asthma, remains a controversial question. A better understanding of the H. pylori disease spectrum in childhood should lead to clearer recommendations about testing for and treating H. pylori infection in children who are more likely to develop clinical sequelae. | Lucia Pacifico Caterina Anania John F Osborn Flavia Ferraro Claudio Chiesa | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，41： | 11 |
| 7 | Parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomies for benign or border-line tumors of the pancreas显示文摘Standard pancreatic resections, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, or total pancreatectomy, result in an important loss of normal pancreatic parenchyma and may cause impairment of exocrine and endocrine function. Whilst these procedures are mandatory for malignant tumors, they seem to be too extensive for benign or border-line tumors, especially in patients with a long life expectancy. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in parenchyma-sparing pancreatic surgery with the aim of achieving better functional results without compromising oncological radicality in patients with benign, border-line or low-grade malignant tumors. Several limited resections have been introduced for isolated or multiple pancreatic lesions, depending on the location of the tumor: central pancreatectomy, duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection with or without segmental duodenectomy, inferior head resection, dorsal pancreatectomy, excavation of the pancreatic head, middle-preserving pancreatectomy, and other multiple segmental resections. All these procedures are technically feasible in experienced hands,with very low mortality, although with high morbidity rate when compared to standard procedures. Pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function is better preserved with good quality of life in most of the patients, and tumor recurrence is uncommon. Careful patient selection and expertise in pancreatic surgery are crucial to achieve the best results. | Cosimo Sperti Valentina Beltrame Anna Caterina Milanetto Margherita Moro Sergio Pedrazzoli | 2010 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2010，2，6： | 11 |

| 9 | Bone health in diabetes and prediabetes显示文摘Bone fragility has been recognized as a complication of diabetes,both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D),whereas the relationship between prediabetes and fracture risk is less clear.Fractures can deeply impact a diabetic patient’s quality of life.However,the mechanisms underlying bone fragility in diabetes are complex and have not been fully elucidated.Patients with T1D generally exhibit low bone mineral density (BMD),although the relatively small reduction in BMD does not entirely explain the increase in fracture risk.On the contrary,patients with T2D or prediabetes have normal or even higher BMD as compared with healthy subjects.These observations suggest that factors other than bone mass may influence fracture risk.Some of these factors have been identified,including disease duration,poor glycemic control,presence of diabetes complications,and certain antidiabetic drugs.Nevertheless,currently available tools for the prediction of risk inadequately capture diabetic patients at increased risk of fracture.Aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of bone health and the mechanisms responsible for increased susceptibility to fracture across the spectrum of glycemic status,spanning from insulin resistance to overt forms of diabetes.The management of bone fragility in diabetic patient is also discussed. | Silvia Costantini Caterina Conte | 2019 | World Journal of Diabetes2019，10，8： | 10 |
| 10 | Clinical significance of hepatitis B surface antigen mutants显示文摘Hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection is a major public health problem in many countries, with nearly 300 million people worldwide carrying HBV chronic infection and over 1 million deaths per year due to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Several hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag) mutations have been described, most frequently due to a single amino acid substitution and seldom to a nucleotide deletion. The majority of mutations are located in the S region, but they have also been found in the pre-S1 and pre-S2 regions. Single amino acid substitutions in the major hydrophilic region of HBs Ag, called the 'a' determinant, have been associated with immune escape and the consequent failure of HBV vaccination and HBs Ag detection, whereas deletions in the pre-S1 or pre-S2 regions have been associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. This review article will focus on the HBs Ag mutants and their biological and clinical implications. | Nicola Coppola Lorenzo Onorato Carmine Minichini Giovanni Di Caprio Mario Starace Caterina Sagnelli Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015，7，27： | 9 |
| 11 | Does heart rate variability correlate with long-term prognosis in myocardial infarction patients treated by early revascularization?显示文摘AIM To assess the prevalence of depressed heart rate variability(HRV) after an acute myocardial infarction(MI),and to evaluate its prognostic significance in the present era of immediate reperfusion.METHODS Time-domain HRV(obtained from 24-h Holter recordings) was assessed in 326 patients(63.5 ± 12.1 years old; 80% males),two weeks after a complicated MI treated by early reperfusion: 208 ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients(in which reperfusion wassuccessfully obtained within 6 h of symptoms in 94% of cases) and 118 non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI) patients(percutaneous coronary intervention was performed within 24 h and successful in 73% of cases). Follow-up of the patients was performed via telephone interviews a median of 25 mo after the index event(95%CI of the mean 23.3-28.0). Primary endpoint was occurrence of all-cause or cardiac death; secondary end-point was occurrence of major clinical events(MCE,defined as mortality or readmission for new MI,new revascularization,episodes of heart failure or stroke). Possible correlations between HRV parameters(mainly the standard deviation of all normal RR intervals,SDNN),clinical features(age,sex,type of MI,history of diabetes,left ventricle ejection fraction),angiographic characteristics(number of coronary arteries with critical stenoses,success and completeness of revascularization) and long-term outcomes were analysed.RESULTS Markedly depressed HRV parameters were present in a relatively small percentage of patients: SDNN < 70 ms was found in 16% and SDNN < 50 ms in 4% of cases. No significant differences were present between STEMI and NSTEMI cases as regards to their distribution among quartiles of SDNN(χ~2 =1.536,P = 0.674). Female sex and history of diabetes maintained a significant correlation with lower values of SDNN at multivariate Cox regression analysis(respectively: P = 0.008 and P = 0.008),while no correlation was found between depressed SDNN and history of previous MI(P = 0.999) or number of diseased coronary arteries(P = 0.428) or unsuccessful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)(P = 0.691). Patients with left ventricle ejection fraction(LVEF) < 40% presented more often SDNN values in the lowest quartile(P < 0.001). After > 2 years from infarction,a total of 10 patients(3.1%) were lost to follow-up. Overall incidence of MCE at follow-up was similar between STEMI and NSTEMI(P = 0.141),although all-cause and cardiac mortality were higher among NSTEMI cases(respectively: 14% vs 2%,P = 0.001; and 10% vs 1.5%,P = 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for all-cause mortality and for cardiac deaths did not reveal significant differences between patients with SDNN in the lowest quartile and other quartiles of SDNN(respectively: P = 0.137 and P = 0.527). Also the MCE-free survival curves were similar between the group of patients with SDNN in the lowest quartile vs the patients of the other SDNN quartiles(P = 0.540),with no difference for STEMI(P = 0.180) or NSTEMI patients(P = 0.541). By the contrary,eventsfree survival was worse if patients presented with LVEF < 40%(P = 0.001).CONCLUSION In our group of patients with a recent complicated MI,abnormal autonomic parameters have been found with a prevalence that was similar for STEMI and NSTEMI cases,and substantially unchanged in comparison to what reported in the pre-primary-PCI era. Long-term outcomes did not correlate with level of depression ofHRV parameters recorded in the subacute phase of the disease,both in STEMI and in NSTEMI patients. These results support lack of prognostic significance of traditional HRV parameters when immediate coronary reperfusion is utilised. | Leonida Compostella Nenad Lakusic Caterina Compostella Li Van Stella Truong Sabino Iliceto Fabio Bellotto | 2017 | World Journal of Cardiology2017，9，1： | 9 |
| 12 | T1-weighted dual-echo MRI for fat quantification in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM:To determine in obese children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in assessing liver fat concentration.METHODS:A case-control study was performed.Cases were 25 obese children with biopsy-proven NAFLD.Controls were 25 obese children matched for age and gender,without NAFLD at ultrasonography and with normal levels of aminotransferases and insulin.Hepatic fat fraction (HFF) by MRI was obtained using a modification of the Dixon method.RESULTS:HFF ranged from 2% to 44% [mean,19.0% (95% CI,15.1-27.4)] in children with NAFLD,while in the controls this value ranged from 0.08% to 4.69% [2.0% (1.3-2.5),P < 0.0001].HFF was highly correlated with histological steatosis (r=0.883,P < 0.0001) in the NAFLD children.According to the histological grade of steatosis,the mean HFF was 8.7% (95% CI,6.0-11.6) for mild,21.6% (15.3-27.0) for moderate,and 39.7% (34.4-45.0) for severe fatty liver infiltration.With a cutoff of 4.85%,HFF had a sensitivity of 95.8% for the diagnosis of histological steatosis ≥ 5%.All control children had HFF lower than 4.85%;thus,the specificity was 100%.After 12 mo,children with weight loss displayed a significant decrease in HFF.CONCLUSION:MRI is an accurate methodology for liver fat quantification in pediatric NAFLD. | Lucia Pacifico Michele Di Martino Carlo Catalano Valeria Panebianco Mario Bezzi Caterina Anania Claudio Chiesa | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011，17，25： | 9 |
| 13 | Long-term durable response to lenalidomide in a patient with hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma显示文摘Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma(EH)is a rare tumor arising from the vascular endothelial cells of soft tissue or visceral organs.The most common visceral site is the liver,where it is often involved in a multifocal man-ner known as hepatic EH(HEH).Surgical resection with curative intent represents the gold standard therapy.When surgery is not feasible,or in cases of metastatic disease,no standard medical treatment is currently indicated.In small series,drugs with anti-angiogenic activity(such as bevacizumab,sorafenib,thalidomide,and lenalidomide)have been proposed with promising results.We describe a 73-year-old man with multifocal non-resectable HEH treated with lenalidomide.Disease status was evaluated by abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance every four months.The patient was treated for a total of 39 mo with prolonged disease stabilization and,at the time of writing,is still under treatment with a good tolerance profile.During a short period of treatment discontinuation,the disease showed slight progression that immediately resolved after the reintroduction of lenalidomide.Lenalidomide may represent a valid treatment option for HEH due to its anti-angiogenic and antineoplastic activities.This preliminary result merits further study in a large series. | Maria Caterina Pallotti Margherita Nannini Claudio Agostinelli Simona Leoni Valerio Di Scioscio Anna Mandrioli Cristian Lolli Maristella Saponara Stefano Pileri Luigi Bolondi Guido Biasco Maria Abbondanza Pantaleo | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，22： | 9 |
| 14 | Nosocomial spontaneous bacterial peritonitis antibiotic treatment in the era of multi-drug resistance pathogens: A systematic review显示文摘AIM To systematically review literature upon aetiology of nosocomial spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(N-SBP) given the rising importance of multidrug-resistant(MDR) bacteria.METHODS A literature search was performed on MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases from 2000 to 15 th of November 2016, using the following search strategy: 'spontaneous' AND 'peritonitis'.RESULTS The initial search through electronic databases retrieved 2556 records. After removing duplicates, 1958 records remained. One thousand seven hundred and thirty-five of them were excluded on the basis of the screening of titles and abstract, and the ensuing number of remaining articles was 223. Of these records, after careful evaluation, only 9 were included in the qualitative analysis. The overall proportion of MDR bacteria turned out to be from 22% to 73% of cases across the studies.CONCLUSION N-SBP is caused, in a remarkable proportion, by MDR pathogens. This should prompt a careful re-assessment of guidelines addressing the treatment of this clinical entity. | Marco Fiore Alberto Enrico Maraolo Ivan Gentile Guglielmo Borgia Sebastiano Leone Pasquale Sansone Maria Beatrice Passavanti Caterina Aurilio Maria Caterina Pace | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017，23，25： | 9 |
| 15 | 关于在稳固的肿瘤的癌症干细胞的想法显示文摘 Cancer chemotherapy efficacy is frequently impaired by either intrinsic or acquired tumor resistance.A fundamental problem in cancer research is identifying the cell type that is capable of sustaining neoplastic growth and its origin from normal tissue cells.In recent years,the cancer stem cell(CSC) theory has changed the classical view of tumor growth and therefore the therapeutic perspective.Overcoming intrinsic and acquired resistance of cancer stem/progenitor cells to current clinical treatments represents a major challenge in treating and curing the most aggressive and metastatic cancers.On the other hand,the identification of CSCs in vivo and in vitro relies on specific surface markers that should allow the sorting cancer cells into phenotypically distinct subpopulations.In the present review,recent papers published on CSCs in solid tumors(breast,prostate,brain and melanoma) are discussed,highlighting critical points such as the choice of markers to sort CSCs and mouse models to demonstrate that CSCs are able to replicate the original tumor.A discussion of the possible role of aldehyde dehydrogenase and CXCR6 biomarkers as signaling molecules in CSCs and normal stem cells is also discussed.The author believes that efforts have to be made to investigate the functional and biological properties of putative CSCs in cancer.Developing diagnostic/prognostic tools to follow cancer development is also a challenge.In this connection it would be useful to develop a multidisciplinary approach combining mathematics,physics and biology which merges experimental approaches and theory.Biological models alone are probably unable to resolve the problem completely. | Caterina AM La Porta | 2012 | World Journal of Stem Cells2012，4，3： | 8 |
| 16 | Clinical 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 | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，28： | 8 |
| 17 | Chronic functional constipation is strongly linked to vitamin D deficiency显示文摘BACKGROUND Few studies have examined intestinal motility disorders, which are disabling conditions associated with chronic functional constipation, whose pathogenesis is actually not well-defined.AIM To investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and functional chronic constipation associated to intestinal motility disorders.METHODS We performed a prospective case-control study, from May-June to November2017. Glucose/lactulose breath tests, radiopaque markers(multiple capsule techniques) and wireless motility capsule analysis were used to assess colonicand oro-cecal transit time, after excluding small-intestinal bacterial overgrowth condition. Then, we measured 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in patients with intestinal motility disorders and we further evaluated the influence of intestinal motility disorders on psychological symptoms/quality of life using validated questionnaires, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Quality of life(IBS-QOL), the Short Form Health Survey 12, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale 14(HADS-14 A and HADS-14 D).RESULTS We enrolled 86 patients with chronic functional constipation associated to intestinal motility disorders and 86 matched healthy subjects. Patients with intestinal motility disorders had lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels(P < 0.001), and they showed a significant impairment of all health-related quality of life and psychological tests(IBS-QOL, Short Form Health Survey 12-Physical Component Summary, Short Form Health Survey 12-Mental Component Summary, HADS-14 A and HADS-14 D), as compared to the control group(P < 0.001), which significantly correlated with low vitamin D levels(r =-0.57, P < 0.001; r = 0.21, P = 0.01; r =-0.48, P < 0.001; r =-0.57, P < 0.001; r =-0.29, P < 0.001, respectively). At multivariate analysis vitamin D low levels remained a significant independent risk factor for the occurrence of intestinal motility disorder(odds ratio = 1.19; 95% confidence interval: 1.14-1.26, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency, anxiety and depression symptoms are commonly associated with chronic functional constipation induced by intestinal motility disorders. Vitamin D serum levels should be routinely measured in these patients. | Alba Panarese Francesco Pesce Piero Porcelli Giuseppe Riezzo Palma Aurelia Iacovazzi Carla Maria Leone Massimo De Carne Caterina Mammone Rinaldi Endrit Shahini | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，14： | 8 |

| 19 | Cancer stem cells in colorectal cancer from pathogenesis to therapy: Controversies and perspectives显示文摘Colorectal cancer remains one of the most common and lethal malignancies worldwide despite the use of various therapeutic strategies.A better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for tumor initiation and progression is essential for the development of novel,more powerful therapies.The traditional,so-called'stochastic model'of tumor development,which assumes that each cancer cell is tumorigenic,has been deeply challenged during the past decade by the identification of cancer stem cells(CSCs),a biologically distinct subset of cells within the bulk of tumor mass.This discovery led to the development of the hierarchical model of tumorigenesis which assumes that only CSCs have the ability to initiate tumor growth,both at primary and metastatic sites.This model implies that the elimination of all CSCs is fundamental to eradicate tumors and that failure to do so might be responsible for the occurrence of relapses and/or metastases frequently observed in the clinical management of colorectal cancer patients.Identification and isolation of CSCs is essential for a better understanding of their role in the tumorigenetic process and for the development of CSC-specific therapies.Several methods have been used for this purpose and many efforts have been focused on the identification of specific CSC-surface markers.This review provides an overview of the proposed roles of CSC in human colorectal tumorigenesis focusing on the most important molecules identified as CSC-specific markers in colorectal cancer and on the potential strategies for the development of CSC-targeted therapy. | Caterina Fanali Donatella Lucchetti Marisa Farina Maddalena Corbi Valerio Cufino Achille Cittadini Alessandro Sgambato | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，4： | 7 |
| 20 | Role of occult hepatitis B virus infection in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘The development of sensitive assays to detect small amounts of hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA has favored the identification of occult hepatitis B infection(OBI), a virological condition characterized by a low level of HBV replication with detectable levels of HBV DNA in liver tissue but an absence of detectable surface antigen of HBV(HBs Ag) in serum. The gold standard to diagnose OBI is the detection of HBV DNA in the hepatocytes by highly sensitive and specific techniques, a diagnostic procedure requiring liver tissue to be tested and the use of non-standardized non-commercially available techniques. Consequently, in everyday clinical practice, the detection of anti-hepatitis B core antibody(antiHBc) in serum of HBs Ag-negative subjects is used as a surrogate marker to identify patients with OBI. In patients with chronic hepatitis C(CHC), OBI has been identified in nearly one-third of these cases. Considerable data suggest that OBI favors the increase of liver damage and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in patients with CHC. The data from other studies, however, indicate no influence of OBI on the natural history of CHC, particularly regarding the risk of developing HCC. | Nicola Coppola Lorenzo Onorato Mariantonietta Pisaturo Margherita Macera Caterina Sagnelli Salvatore Martini Evangelista Sagnelli | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，42： | 7 |
