1Resolution of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis by rosuvastatin monotherapy in patients with metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of rosuvastatin monotherapy on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH). At present there is no effective treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or its advanced form NASH.METHODS: This prospective study included 20 biopsy proven patients with NASH, metabolic syndrome(Met S) and dyslipidaemia. Biochemical parameters of the blood of the patients and an ultrasonography of the liver were performed at baseline. Then patients receivedlifestyle advice and were treated for a 12 mo period with rosuvastatin(10 mg/d) monotherapy. Patients were re-evaluated during the study at 3 mo intervals, during which biochemical parameters of the blood were measured including liver enzymes. A repeat biopsy and ultrasonography of the liver were performed at the end of the study in all 20 patients. Changes in liver enzymes, fasting plasma glucose, serum creatinine, serum uric acid(SUA), high sensitivity C reactive protein(hs CRP) and lipid profile were assessed every 3 mo. The primary endpoint was the resolution of NASH and the secondary endpoints were the changes in liver enzyme and lipid values.RESULTS: The repeat liver biopsy and ultrasonography showed complete resolution of NASH in 19 patients, while the 20 th, which had no improvement but no deterioration either, developed arterial hypertension and substantial rise in triglyceride levels during the study, probably due to changes in lifestyle including alcohol abuse. Serum alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase were normalised by the 3rd treatment month(ANOVA P < 0.001), while alkaline phosphatase activities by the 6th treatment month(ANOVA, P = 0.01). Fasting plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin were significantly reduced(P < 0.001). Lipid values were normalised by the 3rd treatment month. No patient had Met S by the 9th treatment month. Body mass index and waist circumference remained unchanged during the study. Thus, changes in liver pathology and function should be attributed solely to rosuvastatin treatment. A limitation of the study is the absence of a control group.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that rosuvastatin monotherapy could ameliorate biopsy proven NASH and resolve Met S within 12 mo. These effects and the reduction of fasting plasma glucose and SUA levels may reduce the risk of vascular and liver morbidity and mortality in NASH patients. These findings need confirmation in larger studies.Konstantinos Kargiotis Vasilios G Athyros Olga Giouleme Niki Katsiki Evangelia Katsiki Panagiotis Anagnostis Chrysoula Boutari Michael Doumas Asterios Karagiannis Dimitri P Mikhailidis 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,25:18
2Management of patients with hepatitis B in special populations显示文摘The development of effective nucleos(t)ide analogs(NAs)against hepatitis B virus(HBV)has improved the outcome of patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB).This review updates issues related to the management of CHB patients included in special populations.Entecavir(ETV)and tenofovir(TDF)represent the currently recommended first-line NAs in patients with HBV decompensated cirrhosis.The combination of HBV immunoglobulin(usually for a finite duration)and NA is considered the standard of care for prophylaxis against HBV recurrence after liver transplantation.TDF is the best choice for hemodialysis patients and in patients with chronic kidney disease with nucleoside resistance.ETV and telbivudine are the preferred options in na?ve renal transplant recipients and with low viremia levels,respectively.All hepatitis B surface antigen(HBs Ag)-positive candidates should be treated with NAs before renal transplantation to achieve undetectable HBV DNA at the time of transplantation.Conventional interferon or NAs can also be used in children,on the basis of well-established therapeutic indication.Pregnant women at high risk of perinatal transmission could be treated with lamivudine,telbivudine or TDF in the last trimester of pregnancy.HBs Ag-positive patients under immunosuppression should receive NA preemptively(regardless of HBV DNA levels)up to 12 mo after its cessation.In HBs Ag negative,anti-HBc positive patients under immunosuppression,further studies are needed to form a final conclusion;however,it seems that anti-HBV prophylaxis is justified in such patients with hematological diseases and/or for those receiving rituximab-containing regimens,regardless of their antiHBs or serum HBV DNA status.Evangelos Cholongitas Konstantinos Tziomalos Chrysoula Pipili 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,6:11
3A case of hepatocellular carcinoma arising within large focal nodular hyperplasia with review of the literature显示文摘Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a relatively rare benign hepatic tumor, usually presenting as a solitary lesion; however, multiple localizations have also been described. The association of FNH with other hepatic lesions, such as adenomas and haemangiomas has been reported by various authors. We herein report a case of a hepatocellular carcinoma arising within a large focal nodular hyperplasia, in a young female patient.Theodoros Petsas Athanasios Tsamandas Irene Tsota Dionisios Karavias Chrysoula Karatza Vassilios Vassiliou Dimitrios Kardamakis 2006World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,40:10
4Μanagement of patients with hepatitis B and C before and after liver and kidney transplantation显示文摘New nucleos(t)ide analogues(NAs) with high genetic barrier to hepatitis B virus(HBV) resistance(such as entecavir, tenofovir) have improved the prognosis of patients with HBV decompensated cirrhosis and have prevented HBV recurrence after liver transplantation(LT). NAs are considered the most proper approach for HBV infection in patients under renal replacement therapy but their doses should be adjusted according to the patient's creatinine clearance. In addition, physi-cians should be aware of the potential nephrotoxicity. However, patients with chronic hepatitis C and decom-pensated cirrhosis can receive only one therapeutic option before LT, as well as for Hepatitis C virus(HCV) recurrence after LT, which is the combination of sub-cutaneous Peg-IFN and ribavirin. Generally, therapy for HCV after renal transplantation should be avoided. Although the optimal antiviral therapy for HCV infec-tion has not been established, attention has turned to a new, oral direct acting antiviral treatment which marks a promising strategy in prognosis and in amelioration of these diseases.Chrysoula Pipili Evangelos Cholongitas 2014World Journal of Hepatology2014,6,5:5
5Improved bowel preparation increases polyp detection and unmasks significant polyp miss rate显示文摘AIM: To retrospectively compare previous-day vs splitdose preparation in terms of bowel cleanliness and polyp detection in patients referred for polypectomy. METHODS: Fifty patients underwent two colonoscopies: one diagnostic in a private clinic and a second for polypectomy in a University Hospital. The latter procedures were performed within 12 wk of the index ones. Examinations were accomplished by two experienced endoscopists, different in each facility. Twenty-seven patients underwent screening/surveillance colonoscopy, while the rest were symptomatic. Previous day bowel preparation was utilized initially and splitdose for polypectomy. Colon cleansing was evaluated using the Aronchick scale. We measured the number of detected polyps, and the polyp miss rates per-polyp.RESULTS: Excellent/good preparation was reported in 38 cases with previous-day preparation(76%) vs 46 with split-dose(92%), respectively(P = 0.03). One hundred and twenty-six polyps were detected initially and 169 subsequently(P < 0.0001); 88 vs 126 polyps were diminutive(P < 0.0001), 25 vs 29 small(P = 0.048) and 13 vs 14 equal or larger than 10 mm. The miss rates for total, diminutive, small and large polyps were 25.4%, 30.1%, 13.7% and 6.6%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that split-dose preparation was significantly associated(OR, P) with increased number of polyps detected overall(0.869, P < 0.001), in the right(0.418, P = 0.008) and in the left colon(0.452, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Split-dose preparation improved colon cleansing, enhanced polyp detection and unmasked significant polyp miss rates.Ioannis S Papanikolaou Athanasios D Sioulas Nektarios Magdalinos Iosif Beintaris Lazaros-Dimitrios Lazaridis Dimitrios Polymeros Chrysoula Malli George D Dimitriadis Konstantinos Triantafyllou 2015World Journal of Clinical Cases2015,3,10:4
6Interferon-free regimens in patients with hepatitis C infection and renal dysfunction or kidney transplantation显示文摘Treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD) and chronic hepatitis C(CHC) differs from that used in the general CHC population mostly when glomerular filtration rate(GFR) is below 30 m L/min, as sofosbuvir, the backbone of several current regimens, is officially contraindicated. Given that ribavirin free regimens are preferable in CKD, elbasvir/grazoprevir is offered in CHC patients with genotype 1 or 4 and ombitasvir/paritaprevir and dasabuvir in genotype 1b for 12 wk. Although regimens containing peginterferon with or without ribavirin are officially recommended for patients with CKD and genotype 2, 3, 5, 6, such regimens are rarely used because of their low efficacy and the poor safety and tolerance profile. In this setting, especially in the presence of advanced liver disease, sofosbuvirbased regimens are often used, despite sofosbuvir contraindication. It seems to have good overall safety with only 6% or 3.4% of CKD patients to discontinue therapy or develop serious adverse events without drug discontinuation. In addition, sustained virological response(SVR) rates with sofosbuvir based regimens in CKD patients appear to be comparable with SVR rates in patients with normal renal function. Treatment recommendations for kidney transplant recipients are the same with those for patients with CHC, taking into consideration potential drug-drug interactions and baseline GFR before treatment initiation. This review summarizes recent data on the current managementof CHC in CKD patients highlighting their strengths and weaknesses and determining their usefulness in clinical practice.Evangelos Cholongitas Chrysoula Pipili George V Papatheodoridis 2017World Journal of Hepatology2017,9,4:3
7Melena:A rare complication of duodenal metastases from primary carcinoma of the lung显示文摘Small bowel metastases from primary carcinoma of the lung are very uncommon and occur usually in patients with terminal stage disease. These metastases are usually asymptomatic, but may present as perforation, obstruction, malabsorption, or hemorrhage. Hemorrhage as a first presentation of small bowel metastases is extremely rare and is related to very poor patient survival. We describe a case of a 61- year old patient with primary adenocarcinoma of the lung, presenting with melena as the first manifestation of small bowel metastasis. Both primary tumor and metastatic lesions were diagnosed almost simultaneously. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed with a colonoscope revealed active bleeding from a metastatic tumor involving the duodenum and the proximal jejunum. Histological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy specimen strongly supported the diagnosis of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, suggesting that small bowel metastases from primary carcinoma of the lung occur usually in patients with terminal disease and rarely produce symptoms. Gastrointestinal bleeding from metastatic small intestinal lesions should be included in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal blood loss in a patient with a known bronchogenic tumor.Chrysoula Kostakou Lubna Khaldi Andrew Flossos Andreas N Kapsoritakis Spiros P Potamianos 2007World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,8:2
8Interferon-free regimens for the treatment of hepatitis C virus in liver transplant candidates or recipients显示文摘The goal of therapy in chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection is sustained virological response(SVR) which reflects HCV eradication. Treatment against HCV has dramatically improved with the recent availability of direct-acting antivirals(DAAs) including sofosbuvir, simeprevir, daclatasvir, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir, paritaprevir/ombitasvir and dasabuvir. Carefully selected combinations of these DAAs offer the potential for highly effective all-oral safe regimens even for patients with decompensated cirrhosis or liver transplant(LT) recipients. Like all current protease inhibitors, simeprevir and paritaprevir should not be used in patients with Child C cirrhosis, while sofosbuvir and ledipasvir/sofosbuvir should not be given in patients with severe renal impairment and glomerular filtration rate less than 30 m L/min. Drug-drug interactions may still occur with the current DAAs particularly in postLT patients, in whom simeprevir should not be coadministered with cyclosporine and dose adjustments of calcineurin inhibitors are required in case of regimens including the ritonavir boosted paritaprevir. Phase Ⅱ clinical trials and real life cohort studies have shown that sofosbuvir based combinations are safe and can achieve improvements of clinical status, high SVR rates and even prevention of post-LT HCV recurrence in patients with decompensated cirrhosis or LT-candidates. In the post-LT setting, sofosbuvir based regimens and the combination of paritaprevir/ombitasvir and dasabuvir have been reported to be safe and achieve high SVR rates, similar to those in non-transplantpatients, being effective even in cases with cholestatic fibrosing hepatitis. Ongoing clinical trials and rapidly emerging real life data will further clarify the safety and efficacy of the new regimens in these settings.Evangelos Cholongitas Chrysoula Pipili George Papatheodoridis 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,32:2
9Erectile dysfunction in chronic kidney disease:From pathophysiology to management显示文摘Chronic kidney disease(CKD) is encountered in millions of people worldwide,with continuously rising incidence during the past decades,affecting their quality of life despite the increase of life expectancy in these patients.Disturbance of sexual function is common among men with CKD,as both conditions share common pathophysiological causes,such as vascular or hormonal abnormalities and are both affected by similar coexisting comorbid conditions such as cardiovascular disease,hypertension and diabetes mellitus.The estimated prevalence of erectile dysfunction reaches 70% in end stage renal disease patients.Nevertheless,sexual dysfunction remains under-recognized and under-treated in a high proportion of these patients,a fact which should raise awareness among clinicians.A multifactorial approach in management and treatment is undoubtedly required in order to improve patients' quality of life and cardiovascular outcomes.Eirini Papadopoulou Anna Varouktsi Antonios Lazaridis Chrysoula Boutari Michael Doumas 2015World Journal of Nephrology2015,4,3:2
10Adrenal insufficiency in patients with decompensated cirrhosis显示文摘Adrenal reserve depletion and overstimulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal(HPA) axis are causes for adrenal insufficiency(AI) in critically ill individuals. Cirrhosis is a predisposing condition for AI in cirrhotics aswell. Both stable cirrhotics and liver transplant patients(early and later after transplantation) have been reported to present AI. The mechanisms leading to reduced cortisol production in cirrhotics are the combination of low cholesterol levels(the primary source of cortisol), the increased cytokines production that overstimulate and exhaust HPA axis and the destruction of adrenal glands due to coagulopathy. AI has been recorded in 10%-82% cirrhotics depending on the test used to evaluate adrenal function and in 9%-83% stable cirrhotics. The similarity of those proportions support the assumption that AI is an endogenous characteristic of liver disease. However, the lack of a gold standard method for AI assessment and the limitation of precise thresholds in cirrhotics make difficult the recording of the real prevalence of AI. This review aims to summarize the present data over AI in stable, critically ill cirrhotics and liver transplant recipients. Moreover, it provides information about the current knowledge in the used diagnostic tools and the possible effectiveness of corticosteroids administration in critically ill cirrhotics with AI.Apostolos KA Karagiannis Theodora Nakouti Chrysoula Pipili Evangelos Cholongitas 2015World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,8:2
11Renal dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis: Where do we stand?显示文摘Patients with cirrhosis and renal failure are high-risk patients who can hardly be grouped to form precise instructions for diagnosis and treatment. When it comes to evaluate renal function in patients with cirrhosis,determination of acute kidney injury(AKI),chronic kidney disease(CKD) or AKI on CKD should be made. First it should be excluded the prerenal causes of AKI. All cirrhotic patients should undergo renal ultrasound for measurement of renal resistive index in every stage of liver dysfunction and urine microscopy for differentiation of all causes of AKI. If there is history of dehydration on the ground of normal renal ultrasound and urine microscopy the diuretics should be withdrawn and plasma volume expansion should be tried with albumin. If the patient does not respond,the correct diagnosis is HRS. In case there is recent use of nephrotoxic agents or contrast media and examination shows shock,granular cast in urinary sediment and proteinuria above 0.5 g daily,acute tubular necrosis is the prominent diagnosis. Renal biopsy should be performed when glomerular filtration rate is between 30-60 mL/min and there are signs of parenchymal renal disease. The acute renalfunction is preferable to be assessed with modified AKIN. Patients with AKIN stage 1 and serum creatinine ≥ 1.5 mg/dL should be at close surveillance. Management options include hemodynamic monitoring and management of fluid balance and infections,potentially driving to HRS. Terlipressin is the treatment of choice in case of established HRS,administered until there are signs of improvement,but not more than two weeks. Midodrine is the alternative for therapy continuation or when terlipressin is unavailable. Norepinephrine has shown similar effect with terlipressin in patients being in Intensive Care Unit,but with much lower cost than that of terlipressin. If the patient meets the requirements for transplantation,dialysis and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt are the bridging therapies to keep the transplant candidate in the best clinical status. The present review clarifies the latest therapeutic modalities and the proposed recommendations and algorithms in order to be applied in clinical practice.Chrysoula Pipili Evangelos Cholongitas 2014World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2014,5,3:2
