| 2 | Effect of pronase as mucolytic agent on imaging quality of magnifying endoscopy显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy of premedication with pronase,a proteolytic enzyme,in improving imagequality during magnifying endoscopy.METHODS:The study was of a blinded,randomized,prospective design.Patients were assigned to groups administered oral premedication of either pronase and simethicone(Group A)or simethicone alone(Group B).First,the gastric mucosal visibility grade(1-4)was determined during conventional endoscopy,and then a magnifying endoscopic examination was conducted.The quality of images obtained by magnifying endoscopy at the stomach and the esophagus was scored from1 to 3,with a lower score indicating better visibility.The endoscopist used water flushes as needed to obtain satisfactory magnifying endoscopic views.The main study outcomes were the visibility scores during magnifying endoscopy and the number of water flushes.RESULTS:A total of 144 patients were enrolled,and data from 143 patients(M:F=90:53,mean age 57.5 years)were analyzed.The visibility score was significantly higher in the stomach following premedication with pronase(73%with a score of 1 in Group A vs 49%in Group B,P<0.05),but there was no difference in the esophagus visibility scores(67%with a score of 1in Group A vs 58%in Group B).Fewer water flushes[mean 0.7±0.9 times(range:0-3 times)in Group A vs 1.9±1.5 times(range:0-6 times)in Group B,P<0.05]in the pronase premedication group did not affect the endoscopic procedure times[mean 766 s(range:647-866 s)for Group A vs 760 s(range:678-854 s)for Group B,P=0.88].The total gastric mucosal visibility score was also lower in Group A(4.9±1.5 vs 8.3±1.8in Group B,P<0.01).CONCLUSION:The addition of pronase to simethicone premedication resulted in clearer images during magnifying endoscopy and reduced the need for water flushes. | Gwang Ha Kim Yu Kyung Cho Jae Myung Cha Sun-Young Lee Il-Kwun Chung | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 21 |
| 3 | Anemia after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer:Long-term follow-up observational study显示文摘AIM:To identify the incidence and etiology of anemia after gastrectomy in patients with long-term follow-up after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.METHODS:The medical records of those patients with early gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2006 and October 2007 were reviewed.Patients with anemia in the preoperative workup,cancer recurrence,undergoing systemic chemotherapy,with other medical conditions that can cause anemia,or treated during follow up with red cell transfusions or supplements for anemia were excluded.Anemia was defined by World Health Organization criteria(Hb < 12 g/dL in women and < 13 g/dL in men).Iron deficiency was defined as serum ferritin < 20 g/dL.Vitamin B12 deficiency was defined as serum vitamin B 12 < 200 pg/mL.Iron deficiency anemia was defined as anemia with concomitant iron deficiency.Anemia from vitamin B 12 deficiency was defined as megaloblastic anemia(mean cell volume > 100 fL) with vitamin B 12 deficiency.The profile of anemia over 48 mo of follow-up was analyzed.RESULTS:One hundred sixty-one patients with gastrectomy for early gastric cancer were analyzed.The incidence of anemia was 24.5% at 3 mo after surgery and increased up to 37.1% at 48 mo after surgery.The incidence of iron deficiency anemia increased during the follow up and became the major cause of anemia at 48 mo after surgery.Anemia of chronic disease and megaloblastic anemia were uncommon.The incidence of anemia in female patients was significantly higher than in male patients at 12(40.0% vs 22.0%,P = 0.033),24(45.0% vs 25.0%,P = 0.023),36(55.0% vs 28.0%,P = 0.004),and 48 mo(52.0% vs 31.0%,P = 0.022) after surgery.Patients with total gastrectomy showed significantly higher incidence of anemia than patients with subtotal gastrectomy at 48 mo after surgery(60.7% vs 31.3%,P = 0.008).The incidence of iron deficiency was significantly higher in female patients than in male patients at 6(35.4% vs 13.3%,P = 0.002),12(45.8% vs 16.8%,P < 0.001),18(52.1% vs 22.3%,P < 0.001),24(60.4% vs 20.9%,P < 0.001),36(62.5% vs 29.2%,P < 0.001),and 48 mo(66.7% vs 34.7%,P = 0.001) after surgery.CONCLUSION:Anemia was frequent after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer,with iron deficiency being the major cause.Evaluation for anemia including iron status should be performed after gastrectomy and appropriate iron replacement should be considered. | Chul-Hyun Lim Sang Woo Kim Won Chul Kim Jin Soo Kim Yu Kyung Cho Jae Myung Park In Seok Lee Myung-Gyu Choi Kyo-Young Song Hae Myung Jeon Cho-Hyun Park | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,42: | 18 |
| 4 | Efforts to increase image quality during endoscopy:The role of pronase显示文摘Clear visualization of the gastrointestinal mucosal surface is essential for thorough endoscopy. An unobstructed assessment can reduce the need for additional timeconsuming manipulations such as frequent washing and suction,which tend to prolong total procedure time. However,mucus,foam,and bubbles often hinder clear visibility during endoscopy. Premedication with pronase,a compound of mixed proteolytic enzymes,has been studied in order to improve mucosal visibility during endoscopy. Although its effects differ according to the location in the stomach,premedication with pronase 10 to 20 min before endoscopy significantly improves mucosal visibility without affecting the accuracy of Helicobacter pylori identification. The effects of pronase as premedication also extend to chromoendoscopy,narrow-band imaging,magnifying endoscopy,and endoscopic ultrasonography. In addition,endoscopic flushing with pronase during endoscopy may improve the quantity and the quality of a biopsy to some degree. Although improved mucosal visibility does not necessarily improve clinical outcomes,premedication with pronase may be helpful for increasing the detection rate of early cancers. | Gwang Ha Kim Yu Kyung Cho Jae Myung Cha Sun-Young Lee Il-Kwun Chung | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2016,8,5: | 13 |
| 5 | Severe acute pancreatitis due to tamoxifen-induced hypertriglyceridemia with diabetes mellitus显示文摘The side effects of tamoxifen are generally mild, including the effect on lipoprotein metabolism. However, there are few cases of severe tamoxifen induced hypertriglyceridemia. Hypertriglyceridemia is a marked risk factor for acute pancreatitis and approximately 2% to 5% of cases of acute pancreatitis are related to drugs. We report on tamoxifen-induced hypertriglyceridemia and acute pancreatitis in a 40 years old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus occurred by dexamethasone. She was treated with insulin infusion and fenofibrate, and goserelin acetate was started instead of tamoxifen after discharge from the hospital. Also, probable pathogenic hypotheses about the correlation between tamoxifen and dexamethasone induced type 2 diabetes mellitus on severe acute pancreatitis are provided. Clinicians should take care of risks of severe acute pancreatitis on using tamoxifen, especially for patients with dexamethasone induced diabetes mellitus. These individuals should undergo pre-post tamoxifen lipid screening and careful history taking of drugs, including dexamethasone. | Young Ae Kim Sol Lee Ji Woong Jung Yu Jin Kwon Gyeong Bok Lee Dong Gue Shin Sang Su Park Jin Yun Yong-Seog Jang Dong Hui Cho | 2014 | Chinese Journal of Cancer Research2014,26,3: | 12 |
| 6 | Association of chronic viral hepatitis B with insulin resistance显示文摘AIM:To investigate the relationship between chronic viral hepatitis B(CVHB) and insulin resistance(IR) in Korean adults.METHODS:A total of 7880 adults(3851 men,4029 women) who underwent a comprehensive medical examination were enrolled in this study.Subjects diagnosed with either diabetes mellitus,or any other disorder that could influence their insulin sensitivity,were rejected.Anthropometry,metabolic risk factors,hepatitis B surface antigen,hepatitis B surface antibody,hepatitis B core antibody,fasting plasma glucose and insulin were measured for all subjects.Homeostasis model assessment(HOMA),quantitative insulin check index(QUICKI),and Mf fm index were used for determining insulin sensitivity.Each participant was categorized into a negative,recovery,or CVHB group.To compare variables between groups,a t-test and/or one-way analysis of variance were used.Partial correlation coefficients were computed to present the association between insulin resistance and other variables.Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the independent association between CVHB and IR.RESULTS:The mean age of men and women were 48.9 and 48.6 years,respectively.Subjects in the CVHB group had significantly higher waist circumference [(86.0 ± 7.7 cm vs 87.3 ± 7.8 cm,P = 0.004 in men),(78.3 ± 8.6 cm vs 80.5 ± 8.5 cm,P < 0.001 in women)],cystatin C [(0.96 ± 0.15 mg/dL vs 1.02 ± 0.22 mg/dL,P < 0.001 in men),(0.84 ± 0.15 mg/dL vs 0.90 ± 0.16 mg/dL,P < 0.001 in women)],fasting insulin [(5.47 ± 3.38 U/mL vs 6.12 ± 4.62 U/mL,P < 0.001 in men),(4.57 ± 2.82 U/mL vs 5.06 ± 3.10 U/mL,P < 0.001 in women)] and HOMA index [(1.24 ± 0.86 vs 1.43 ± 1.24,P < 0.001 in men),(1.02 ± 0.76 vs 1.13 ± 0.87,P = 0.033 in women)] compared to control group.The HOMA index revealed a positive correlation with body mass index(BMI)(r = 0.378,P < 0.001),waist circumference(r =0.356,P < 0.001),percent body fat(r = 0.296,P < 0.001),systolic blood pressure(r = 0.202,P < 0.001),total cholesterol(r = 0.134,P < 0.001),triglycerides(r = 0.292,P < 0.001),cystatin C(r = 0.069,P < 0.001) and uric acid(r = 0.142,P < 0.001).The QUICKI index revealed a negative correlation with BMI(r =-0.254,P < 0.001),waist circumference(r = 0-0.243,P < 0.001),percent body fat(r =-0.217,P < 0.001),systolic blood pressure(r =-0.132,P < 0.001),total cholesterol(r =-0.106,P < 0.001),triglycerides(r =-0.205,P < 0.001),cystatin C(r =-0.044,P < 0.001) and uric acid(r =-0.096,P < 0.001).For subjects identified with IR,the odds ratio of an accompanying diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B was 1.534(95% CI:1.158-2.031,HOMA index criteria) or 1.566(95% CI:1.124-2.182,QUICKI criteria) after adjustment for age,gender,BMI,and amount of alcohol consumption.CONCLUSION:Our study demonstrates that CVHB is associated with IR.CVHB may need to be monitored for occurrence of IR and diabetes mellitus. | Jeong Gyu Lee Sangyeoup Lee Yun Jin Kim Byung Mann Cho Joo Sung Park Hyung Hoi Kim JaeHun Cheong Dong Wook Jeong Yu Hyun Lee Young Hye Cho Mi Jin Bae Eun Jung Choi | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,42: | 10 |
| 7 | Timing of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy does not influence short-term outcomes in patients with acute variceal bleeding显示文摘AIM To examine the association between the timing of endoscopy and the short-term outcomes of acute variceal bleeding in cirrhotic patients.METHODS This retrospective study included 274 consecutive patients admitted with acute esophageal variceal bleeding of two tertiary hospitals in Korea. We adjusted confounding factors using the Cox proportional hazards model and the inverse probability weighting(IPW) method. The primary outcome was the mortality of patients within 6 wk.RESULTS A total of 173 patients received urgent endoscopy(i.e., ≤ 12 h after admission), and 101 patients received nonurgent endoscopy(> 12 h after admission). The 6-wk mortality rate was 22.5% in the urgent endoscopy group and 29.7% in the non-urgent endoscopy group, and there was no significant difference between the two groups before(P = 0.266) and after IPW(P = 0.639). The length of hospital stay was statistically different between the urgent group and non-urgent group(P = 0.033); however, there was no significant difference in the inhospital mortality rate between the two groups(8.1% vs 7.9%, P = 0.960). In multivariate analyses, timing of endoscopy was not associated with 6-wk mortality(hazard ratio, 1.297; 95% confidence interval, 0.806-2.089; P = 0.284).CONCLUSION In cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding, the timing of endoscopy may be independent of short-term mortality. | Jeong-Ju Yoo Young Chang Eun Ju Cho Ji Eun Moon Sang Gyune Kim Young Seok Kim Yun Bin Lee Jeong-Hoon Lee Su Jong Yu Yoon Jun Kim Jung-Hwan Yoon | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,44: | 8 |
| 8 | Evaluation of esophageal function in patients with esophageal motor abnormalities using multichannel intraluminal impedance esophageal manometry显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the functional aspect of esophageal motility in healthy subjects and in patients who were referred for esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal impedance-esophageal manometry (MII-EM), and to assess the clinical utility of MII-EM. METHODS: From September 2003 to January 2004, we performed the MII-EM on healthy volunteers and all the patients who were referred for esophageal function testing. Each patient received 10 liquid and 10 viscous swallows. We analyzed the results, the impedance and the manometric findings. Some of the subjects had additional ambulatory 24-h pH study performed to diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). RESULTS: Among 89 studied subjects, the MII-EM findings showed normal esophageal motility in 50 (56.17%), ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) in 17 (19.10%), nutcracker esophagus in 7 (7.86%), achalasia in 4 (4.49%), and scleroderma esophagus in 11 (12.35%) cases. The completeness and the speed of bolus transit were in the order of nutcracker esophagus, normal manometry and IEM. Some of the swallows showing normal manometry and IEM had incomplete transit. In the achalasia and scleroderma esophagus, almost all the swallows had incomplete transit. The body amplitudes were higher for the swallows with complete transit than for the swallows with incomplete transit. There was not a significant difference in the manometric and impedance findings between the subjects with and without GERD. CONCLUSION: MII-EM is a useful tool in assessing theesophageal function in the patients having esophageal motility abnormality. The primary factors influencing the bolus transit are the amplitude of the esophageal body and normal peristalsis. | Yu Kyung Cho Myung-Gyu Choi Jae Myung Park Jung Hwan Oh Chang Nyol Paik Joon Wook Lee In Seok Lee Sang Woo Kim In-Sik Chung | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,39: | 8 |
| 9 | Influence of haze pollution on water-soluble chemical species in PM2.5 and size-resolved particles at an urban site during fall显示文摘To investigate the influence of haze on the chemical composition and formation processes of ambient aerosol particles,PM_(2.5) and size-segregated aerosol particles were collected daily during fall at an urban site of Gwangju,Korea.During the study period,the total concentration of secondary ionic species(SIS) contributed an average of 43.9% to the PM_(2.5) ,whereas the contribution of SIS to the PM_(2.5) during the haze period was 62.3%.The NO_3 and SO^(2-)_4 concentrations in PM_(2.5) during the haze period were highly elevated,being 13.4 and 5.0 times higher than those during non-haze period,respectively.The PM,NO^-_3,SO^(2-)_4,oxalate,water-soluble organic carbon(WSOC),and humic-like substances(HULIS) had tri-modal size distributions peaks at 0.32,1.0,and 5.2 μm during the non-haze and haze periods.However,during the non-haze period they exhibited dominant size distributions at the condensation mode peaking at 0.32 μm,while on October 21 when the heaviest haze event occurred,they had predominant droplet mode size distributions peaking at 1.00 μm.Moreover,strong correlations of WSOC and HULIS with SO^(2-)_4,oxalate,and K+at particle sizes of < 1.8 μm indicate that secondary processes and emissions from biomass burning could be responsible for WSOC and HULIS formations.It was found that the factors affecting haze formation could be the local stable synoptic conditions,including the weak surface winds and high surface pressures,the long-range transportation of haze from eastern China and upwind regions of the Korean peninsula,as well as the locally emitted and produced aerosol particles. | Geun-Hye Yu Yan Zhang Sung-Yong Cho Seungshik Park | 2017 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2017,29,7: | 7 |
| 10 | A GLP-1 analog lowers ER stress and enhances protein folding to ameliorate homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction显示文摘Hyperhomocysteinemia(HHcy)is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and increases mortality in type 2 diabetic patients.HHcy induces endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress and oxidative stress to impair endothelial function.The glucagon-like peptide 1(GLP-1)analog exendin-4 attenuates endothelial ER stress,but the detailed vasoprotective mechanism remains elusive.The present study investigated the beneficial effects of exendin-4 against HHcy-induced endothelial dysfunction.Exendin-4 pretreatment reversed homocysteine-induced impairment of endothelium-dependent relaxations in C57BL/6 mouse aortae ex vivo.Four weeks subcutaneous injection of exendin-4 restored the impaired endothelial function in both aortae and mesenteric arteries isolated from mice with diet-induced HHcy.Exendin-4 treatment lowered superoxide anion accumulation in the mouse aortae both ex vivo and in vivo.Exendin-4 decreased the expression of ER stress markers(e.g.,ATF4,spliced XBP1,and phosphorylated eIF2α)in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),and this change was reversed by cotreatment with compound C(CC)(AMPK inhibitor).Exendin-4 induced phosphorylation of AMPK and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in HUVECs and arteries.Exendin-4 increased the expression of endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase(ERO1α),an important ER chaperone in endothelial cells,and this effect was mediated by AMPK activation.Experiments using siRNA-mediated knockdown or adenoviral overexpression revealed that ERO1αmediated the inhibitory effects of exendin-4 on ER stress and superoxide anion production,thus ameliorating HHcy-induced endothelial dysfunction.The present results demonstrate that exendin-4 reduces HHcy-induced ER stress and improves endothelial function through AMPK-dependent ERO1αupregulation in endothelial cells and arteries.AMPK activation promotes the protein folding machinery in endothelial cells to suppress ER stress. | Chak Kwong Cheng Jiang-Yun Luo Chi Wai Lau William Chi-shing Cho Chi Fai Ng Ronald Ching Wan Ma Xiao Yu Tian Yu Huang | 2021 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2021,42,10: | 6 |

| 15 | Time-dependent effect of combination therapy with erythropoietin and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in a mouse model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury显示文摘Erythropoietin (EPO) and granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) are likely to play broad roles in the brain. We investigated the effects of combination therapy with EPO and G-CSF in hypoxicischemic brain injury during the acute, subacute, and chronic phases. A total of 79 C57BL/6 mice with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury were randomly assigned acute (days 1–5), subacute (days 11–15) and chronic (days 28–32) groups. All of them were treated with G-CSF (250 μg/kg) and EPO (5 000 U/kg) or saline daily for 5 consecutive days. Behavioral assessments and immunohistochemistry for angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and astrogliosis were performed with an 8-week follow-up. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) was also measured by Western blot analysis. The results showed that the combination therapy with EPO and G-CSF in the acute phase significantly improved rotarod performance and forelimb-use symmetry compared to the other groups, while subacute EPO and G-CSF therapy exhibited a modest improvement compared with the chronic saline controls. The acute treatment significantly increased the density of CD31+ (PECAM-1) and α-smooth muscle actin+vessels in the frontal cortex and striatum, increased BrdU+/PSA-NCAM+neurogenesis in the subventricular zone, and decreased astroglial density in the striatum. Furthermore, acute treatment significantly increased the HIF-1 expression in the cytosol and nucleus, whereas chronic treatment did not change the HIF-1 expression, consistent with the behavioral outcomes. These results indicate that the induction of HIF-1 expression by combination therapy with EPO and G-CSF synergistically enhances not only behavioral function but also neurogenesis and angiogenesis while decreasing the astroglial response in a timedependent manner. | Ji Hea Yu Jung Hwa Seo Jong Eun Lee Ji Hoe Heo Sung-Rae Cho | 2014 | Neuroscience Bulletin2014,30,1: | 4 |
| 16 | The Impacts of Simulated Microgravity on Rat Brain Depended on Durations and Regions显示文摘Objective To explore the dynamic impacts of simulated microgravity(SM) on different vital brain regions of rats. Methods Microgravity was simulated for 7 and 21 days, respectively, using the tail-suspension rat model. Histomorphology, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines and the expression of some key proteins were determined in hippocampus, cerebral cortex and striatum. Results 21-day SM decreased brain derived neurotrophic factor and induced neuron atrophy in the cerebral cortex. Strong oxidative stress was triggered at day 7 and the oxidative status returned to physiological level at day 21. Inflammatory cytokines were gradually suppressed and in striatum, the suppression was regulated partially through c-Jun/c-Fos. Conclusion The results revealed that the significant impacts of SM on rat brain tissue depended on durations and regions, which might help to understand the health risk and to prevent brain damage for astronauts in space travel. | CHEN Bo ZHANG Yu Shi LI George CHO Jun-Lae DENG Yu Lin LI Yu Juan | 2019 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2019,32,7: | 4 |
| 17 | Effect of two different doses of intravitreal bevacizumab with temporal retina-sparing laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity显示文摘This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between two different doses of intravitreal bevacizumab(IVB) injection with temporal retina-sparing laser(TRSL) photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity(ROP). We retrospectively evaluated 22 eyes of ROP infants who underwent IVB combined with partial TRSL for stage 3+ zone I or posterior zone II ROP. Laser photocoagulation was applied on the avascular retina, sparing two-discdiameter width temporal avascular area anterior to ridge. A half dose(0.625 mg) or minimal dose(0.25 mg) of IVB was conducted. Four eyes in minimal dose group were retreated with IVB and laser photocoagulation on the spared retina. Of those 4 retreated eyes, three developed preretinal hemorrhage around the ridge after the first treatment, resulting in fibrotic macular dragging. A half dose of IVB may be more effective than a minimal dose with partial TRSL for ROP. Preretinal hemorrhage may be a harbinger of poor prognosis. | A Young Choi Hochan Cho Yu Cheol Kim | 2018 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2018,11,1: | 3 |
| 18 | A pilot study of single-use endoscopy in screening acute gastrointestinal bleeding显示文摘AIM:To investigate the feasibility of a single-use endoscopy as an alternative procedure to nasogastric lavage in patients with acute gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding.METHODS:Patients who presented with hematemesis,melena or hematochezia were enrolled in this study.EG scan and conventional esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) were subsequently performed.Active bleeding was defined as blood in the stomach,and inactive bleeding was defined as coffee ground clots and clear fluid in the stomach.The findings were recorded and compared.RESULTS:Between January and March,2011,13 patients that presented with hematemesis(n = 4),melena(n = 6),or bleeding from a previous nasogastric feeding tube(n = 3),were enrolled in this study.In 12 patients with upper GI bleeding,the EG scan device revealed that 7 patients had active bleeding and 5 patients had inactive bleeding,whereas conventional EGD revealed that 8 patients had active bleeding and 4 patients had inactive bleeding.The sensitivity and specificity of the EG scan device was 87.5% and 100% for active bleeding,with conventional EGD serving as a reference.No complication were reported during the EG scan procedures.CONCLUSION:The EG scan is a feasible device for screening acute upper GI bleeding.It may replace nasogastric lavage for the evaluation of acute upper GI bleeding. | Jae Hee Cho Hee Man Kim Sangheun Lee Yu Jin Kim Ki Jun Han Hyeon Geun Cho Si Young Song | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 3 |
| 19 | Effects of feeding a diet containing Gymnema sylvestre extract: attenuating progression of obesity in C57BL/6J mice显示文摘Objective: To investigate the effect of Gymnema sylvestre extract(GS) on initial anti-obesity, liver injury, and glucose homeostasis induced by a high-fat diet(HFD). Methods: The dry powder of GS was extracted with methanol, and gymnemic acid was identified by high performance liquid chromatography as deacyl gymnemic acid. Male C57BL/6J mice that fed on either a normal diet, normal diet containing 1 g/kg GS(CON+GS) HFD, or HFD containing 1.0 g/kg GS(HFD+GS) for 4 weeks were used to test the initial anti-obesity effect of GS. Body weight gain and food intake, and serum levels about lipid and liver injury markers were measured. Histopathology of adipose tissue and liver stained with hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) and oil-red O were analyzed. After 4 weeks of GS extract feeding, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test(IPGTT) was performed. Results: The methanol extracts of GS exerted significant anti-obesity effects in HFD+GS group. They decreased body weight gain, a lower food and energy efficiency ratio, and showed lower serum levels of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low-density lipoprotein(LDL)-cholesterol, very-low density lipoprotein(VLDL)-cholesterol and leptin compared with the HFD group. The decreases of abdominal as well as epididymal fat weight and adipocyte hypertrophy, lipid droplets in liver, and serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST) and alanine transaminase(ALT) were also observed. The CON+GS group showed an effect of glucose homeostasis compared to the CON group. Conclusions: This study shows that GS provide the possibility as a key role in an initial anti-obesity effects feeding with a HFD. | Hyeon-Jeong Kim Seong-Ho Hong Seung-Hee Chang Sanghwa Kim Ah Young Lee Yoonjeong Jang Orkhonselenge Davaadamdin Kyeong-Nam Yu Ji-Eun Kim Myung-Haing Cho | 2016 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2016,9,5: | 3 |
| 20 | Fucoidan protects hepatocytes from apoptosis and inhibits invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma by up-regulating p42/44 MAPK-dependent NDRG-1/CAP43显示文摘Fucoidan is a traditional Chinese medicine suggested to possess anti-tumor effects.In this study the anti-metastatic effects of fucoidan were investigated in vitro in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cells(Huh-7 and SNU-761) under normoxic and hypoxic conditions and in vivo using a distant liver metastasis model involving injection of MH134 cells into spleen via the portal vein.Its ability to protect hepatocytes against bile acid(BA)-induced apoptosis was investigated in primary hepatocytes.Fucoidan was found to suppress the invasion of HCC cells through up-regulation of p42/44 MAPKdependent NDRG-1/CAP43 and partly,under normoxic conditions,through up-regulation of p42/44MAPK-dependent VMP-1 expression.It also significantly decreased liver metastasis in vivo.As regards its hepatoprotective effect,fucoidan decreased BA-induced hepatocyte apoptosis as shown by the attenuation of caspase-8,and-7 cleavages and suppression of the mobilization of caspase-8 and Fas associated death domain(FADD) into the death-inducing signaling complex.In summary,fucoidandisplays inhibitory effects on proliferation of HCC cells and protective effects on hepatocytes.The results suggest fucoidan is a potent suppressor of tumor invasion with hepatoprotective effects. | Yuri Cho Jung-Hwan Yoon Jeong-ju Yoo Minjong Lee Dong Hyeon Lee Eun Ju Cho Jeong-Hoon Lee Su Jong Yu Yoon Jun Kim Chung Yong Kim | 2015 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2015,5,6: | 3 |
