| 1 | Risk factors for bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric lesions显示文摘AIM:To assess risk factors for bleeding after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and to develop preventive measures.METHODS:This retrospective study was performed in a tertiary referral center.A total of 328 patients underwent ESD for 398 gastric neoplasms between July 2007 and June 2009.The main outcome was association between post-ESD bleeding and the following:age;sex;comorbidities;daily use of medicine potentially related to gastric injury/bleeding;location,size,and histological depth of lesions;ulceration;experience of operator coagulating the ulcer floor,and duration of operation.We also determined the relationship between the location of post-ESD bleeding and risk factors for hemorrhage.RESULTS:Univariate analysis revealed significant risk factors:tumor location [odds ratio(OR),2.86;95% CI:1.21-6.79,P=0.024],coagulator experience(OR,4.29;95% CI:1.43-12.86,P=0.009),and medicine potentially related to gastric injury/bleeding(OR,2.80;95% CI:1.14-6.90,P=0.039).Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed significant,independent risk factors:tumor in lower third of stomach(OR,2.47;95% CI:1.02-5.96,P=0.044),beginner coagulator(OR,3.93;95% CI:1.29-11.9,P=0.016),and medicine(OR,2.76;95% CI:1.09-6.98,P=0.032).We classif ied cases of post-ESD bleeding into two groups(bleeding at the ulcer margin vs bleeding at the center) and found that bleeding at the margin occurred more frequently with beginner coagulators compared with experts(OR,16.00;95% CI:1.22-210.59,P=0.040).CONCLUSION:Beginner coagulators,tumor in the antrum,and medicines were significant risk factors for post-ESD bleeding.Bleeding at the ulcer margin frequently occurred with beginner operators. | Yosuke Tsuji Ken Ohata Takafumi Ito Hideyuki Chiba Tomohiko Ohya Toshiaki Gunji Nobuyuki Matsuhashi | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,23: | 60 |
| 2 | Continuous regional arterial infusion therapy with gabexate mesilate for severe acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effi cacy of continuous regional arterial infusion therapy (CRAI) with gabexate mesilate and antibiotics for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: We conducted a prospective study on patients who developed SAP with or without CRAI. Out of 18 patients fulf illed clinical diagnostic criteria for SAP in Japan, 9 patients underwent CRAI, while 9 patients underwent conventional systemic protease inhibitor and antibiotics therapy (non-CRAI). CRAI was initiated within 72 h of the onset of pancreatitis. Gabexate mesilate (2400 mg/d) was continuously administered for 3 to 5 d. The clinical outcome including serum infl ammation-related parameters were examined. RESULTS: The duration of abdominal pain in the CRAI group was 1.9 ± 0.26 d, whereas that in the non-CRAI group was 4.3 ± 0.50. The duration of SIRS in the CRAI group was 2.2 ± 0.22 d, whereas that in the non- CRAI group was 3.2 ± 0.28. Abdominal pain and SIRS disappeared signifi cantly in a short period of time after the initiation of CRAI using gabexate mesilate. The average length of hospitalization signifi cantly differed between the CRAI and non-CRAI groups, 53.3 ± 7.9 d and 87.4 ± 13.9 d, respectively. During the first two weeks, levels of serum CRP and the IL6/IL10 ratio in the CRAI group tended to have a rapid decrease compared to those in the non-CRAI group. CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that CRAI using gabexate mesilate was effective against SAP. | Yoshifumi Ino Yoshiyuki Arita Tetsuro Akashi Toshinari Kimura Hisato Igarashi Takamasa Oono Masayuki Furukawa Ken Kawabe Keiichiro Ogoshi Jiro Ouchi Toshihiko Miyahara Ryoichi Takayanagi Tetsuhide Ito | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,41: | 20 |

| 4 | Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue prevents nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in non-obese mice显示文摘AIM: To investigate whether a glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) analogue inhibits nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH), which is being increasingly recognized in Asia, in non-obese mice. METHODS: A methionine-choline-deficient diet(MCD) along with exendin-4(20 μg/kg per day, ip), a GLP-1 analogue, or saline was administered to male db/db mice(non-obese NASH model). Four or eight weeks after commencement of the diet, the mice were sacrificed and their livers were excised. The excised livers were examined by histochemistry for evidence of hepatic steatosis and inflammation. Hepatic triglyceride(TG) and free fatty acid(FFA) content was measured, and the expression of hepatic fat metabolism- and inflammation-related genes was evaluated. Oxidative stress-related parameters and macrophage recruitment were also examined using immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: Four weeks of MCD feeding induced hepatic steatosis and inflammation and increased the hepatic TG and FFA content. The expression of fattyacid transport protein 4(FATP4), a hepatic FFA influxrelated gene; macrophage recruitment; and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA), an oxidative stress marker, were significantly augmented by a 4-wk MCD. The levels of hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c(SREBP-1c) m RNA(lipogenesis-related gene) and acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1(ACOX1) m RNA(β-oxidation-related gene) had decreased at 4 wk and further decreased at 8 wk. However, the level of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein m RNA(a lipid excretion-related gene) remained unchanged. The administration of exendin-4 significantly attenuated the MCD-induced increase in hepatic steatosis, hepatic TG and FFA content, and FATP4 expression as well as the MCD-induced augmentation of hepatic inflammation, macrophage recruitment, and MDA levels. Additionally, it further decreased the hepatic SREBP-1c level and alleviated the MCD-mediated inhibition of the ACOX1 m RNA level. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that GLP-1 inhibits hepatic steatosis and inflammation through the inhibition of hepatic FFA influx and oxidative stress in a non-obese NASH model. | Takaya Yamamoto Yukiomi Nakade Taeko Yamauchi Yuji Kobayashi Norimitsu Ishii Tomohiko Ohashi Kiyoaki Ito Ken Sato Yoshitaka Fukuzawa Masashi Yoneda | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,8: | 10 |
| 5 | Prospective controlled study on the effects of polyethylene glycol in capsule endoscopy显示文摘AIM:To prospectively confirm whether a small amount of polyethylene glycol(PEG)ingested after swallowing endoscopy capsule improves image quality and completion rate.METHODS:Forty-four consecutive patients referred to us for capsule endoscopy(CE)were randomized to two groups.All patients were restricted to clear fluids for 12 h before the examination.Patients in group A(22 cases)received no additional preparation,while those in group B(20 cases)ingested 500 mL of PEG within a 2 h period starting 30 min after swallowing the capsule.Clear fluids and meals were allowed 2 h and 4 h after capsule ingestion,respectively.Image quality was assessed as the percentage of visualized bowel surface area as follows:1:<25%;2:25%-49%;3:50%-74%;4:75%-89%;5:>90%.The small bowel record was divided into five segments by time,and the score for each segment was evaluated.All CE examinations were performed with the Pillcam SB capsule endoscopy sys-tem(Given Imaging Co.Ltd.,Yoqnem).RESULTS:This study ended in December 2009,because sample size was considered large enough.A total of 44 patients were enrolled.Two patients in group B were excluded from the analysis because small bowel images could not be obtained from these patients;one had a full stomach,while the other presented with a massive gastric bleed.Thus,22 patients from group A and 20 patients from group B completed the study.There was no significant difference in age(P=0.22),sex(P=0.31),and indication for CE.No significant adverse events occurred in any of the study patients.In group A,image quality deteriorated as the capsule progressed distally.However,in group B,image quality was maintained to the distal small bowel.In each of the five segments,the visibility score was significantly higher in group B than in group A(segment 1:4.3± 0.7vs 4.7±0.5,P=0.03;segment 2:4.2±0.9vs 4.8 ±0.4,P=0.01;segment 3:4.0±1.0 vs 4.6±0.7,P =0.04;segment 4:3.6±1.1 vs 4.5±0.6,P=0.003;segment 5:2.7±1.0vs 4.4±0.8,P=0.00004).Thus,the use of PEG during CE examination significantly improved image quality in all time segments,and this effect was more pronounced in the distal ileum.The completion rate to the cecum was not significantly different between groups A and B(81.8%vs 85.0%,P =0.89).There was no difference in the gastric transit time between groups(36.2±35.0 min vs 54.0±56.6 min,P=0.23),but the small bowel transit time was significantly longer in group A than in group B(246.0± 107.0 minvs 171.0±104.0 min,P=0.04).CONCLUSION:The ingestion of a small amount of PEG after the swallowing of an endoscopy capsule significantly improved CE image quality,but did not enhance the completion rate to the cecum. | Takafumi Ito Ken Ohata Akiko Ono Hideyuki Chiba Yosuke Tsuji Hajime Sato Nobuyuki Matsuhashi | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,15: | 7 |

| 7 | Endoscopic approach through the minor papilla for the management of pancreatic diseases显示文摘AIM:To clarify the efficacy and safety of an endoscopic approach through the minor papilla for the management of pancreatic diseases.METHODS:This study included 44 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) procedures performed in 34 patients using a minor papilla approach between April 2007 and March 2012.We retrospectively evaluated the clinical profiles of the patients,the endoscopic interventions,short-term outcomes,and complications.RESULTS:Of 44 ERCPs,26 were diagnostic ERCP,and 18 were therapeutic ERCP.The most common cause of difficult access to the main pancreatic duct through the major papilla was pancreas divisum followed by distortion of Wirsung's duct.The overall success rate of minor papilla cannulation was 80%(35/44),which was significantly improved by wire-guided cannulation(P = 0.04).Endoscopic minor papillotomy(EMP) was performed in 17 of 34 patients(50%) using a needle-knife(13/17) or a pull-type papillotome(4/17).EMP with pancreatic stent placement,which was the main therapeutic option for patients with chronic pancreatitis,recurrent acute pancreatitis,and pancreatic pseudocyst,resulted in short-term clinical improvement in 83% of patients.Mild post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred as an early complication in 2 cases(4.5%).CONCLUSION:The endoscopic minor papilla approach is technically feasible,safe,and effective when the procedure is performed in a high-volume referral center by experienced endoscopists. | Nao Fujimori Hisato Igarashi Akira Asou Ken Kawabe Lingaku Lee Takamasa Oono Taichi Nakamura Yusuke Niina Masayuki Hijioka Masahiko Uchida Kazuhiro Kotoh Kazuhiko Nakamura Tetsuhide Ito Ryoichi Takayanagi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2013,5,3: | 6 |
| 8 | A novel animal model for in vivo study of liver cancer metastasis显示文摘AIM:To establish an animal model with human hepatocyte-repopulated liver for the study of liver cancer metastasis.METHODS:Cell transplantation into mouse livers was conducted using alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)-producing hu-man gastric cancer cells(h-GCCs) and h-hepatocytes as donor cells in a transgenic mouse line expressing urokinase-type plasminogen activator(uPA) driven by the albumin enhancer/promoter crossed with a severe combined immunodeficient(SCID) mouse line(uPA/SCID mice).Host mice were divided into two groups(A and B).Group A mice were transplanted with h-GCCs alone,and group B mice were transplanted with h-GCCs and h-hepatocytes together.The replacement index(RI),which is the ratio of transplanted h-GCCs and h-hepatocytes that occupy the examined area of a histological section,was estimated by measuring h-AFP and h-albumin concentrations in sera,respectively,as well as by immunohistochemical analyses of h-AFP and human cytokeratin 18 in histological sections.RESULTS:The h-GCCs successfully engrafted,repopulated,and colonized the livers of mice in group A(RI = 22.0% ± 2.6%).These mice had moderately differentiated adenocarcinomatous lesions with disrupted glandular structures,which is a characteristics feature of gastric cancers.The serum h-AFP level reached 211.0 ± 142.2 g/mL(range,7.1-324.2 g/mL).In group B mice,the h-GCCs and h-hepatocytes independently engrafted,repopulated the host liver,and developed colonies(RI = 12.0% ± 6.8% and 66.0% ± 12.3%,respectively).h-GCC colonies also showed typical adenocarcinomatous glandular structures around the h-hepatocyte-colonies.These mice survived for the full 56 day-study and did not exhibit any metastasis of h-GCCs in the extrahepatic regions during the observational period.The mice with an h-hepatocyte-repopulated liver possessed metastasized h-GCCs and therefore could be a useful humanized liver animal model for studying liver cancer metastasis in vivo.CONCLUSION:A novel animal model of human liver cancer metastasis was established using the uPA/SCID mouse line.This model could be useful for in vivo testing of anti-cancer drugs and for studying the mechanisms of human liver cancer metastasis. | Shinsuke Fujiwara Hikaru Fujioka Chise Tateno Ken Taniguchi Masahiro Ito Hiroshi Ohishi Rie Utoh Hiromi Ishibashi Takashi Kanematsu Katsutoshi Yoshizato | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,29: | 6 |
| 9 | Lysophosphatidic acid induced nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB in Panc-1 cells by mobilizing cytosolic free calcium显示文摘AIM: To clarify whether Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) activates the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in pancreatic cancer. METHODS: Panc-1, a human pancreatic cancer cell line, was used throughout the study. The expression of LPA receptors was confirmed by reverse-transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cytosolic free calcium was measured by fluorescent calcium indicator fura-2, and the localization of NF-κB was visualized by immunofluorescent method with or without various agents, which effect cell signaling. RESULTS: Panc-1 expressed LPA receptors, LPA1, LPA2 and LPA3. LPA caused the elevation of cytosolic free calcium dose-dependently. LPA also caused the nuclear translocation of NF-κB. Cytosolic free calcium was attenuated by pertussis toxin (PTX) and U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C. The translocation of NF-κB was similarly attenuated by PTX and U73122, but phorbol ester, an activator of protein kinase C, alone did not translocate NF-κB. Furthermore, the translocation of NF-κB was completely blocked by Ca2+ chelator BAPTA-AM. Thapsigargin, an endoplasmic- reticulum Ca2+-ATPase pump inhibitor, also promoted the translocation of NF-κB. Staurosporine, a proteinkinase C inhibitor, attenuated translocation of NF-κB induced by LPA. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that protein kinase C is activated endogenously in Panc-1, and protein kinase C is essential for activating NF-κB with cytosolic calcium and that LPA induces the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in Panc-1 by mobilizing cytosolic free calcium. | Yoshiyuki Arita Tetsuhide Ito Takamasa Oono Ken Kawabe Terumasa Hisano Ryoichi Takayanagi | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,28: | 5 |
| 10 | Immunological milieu in the peritoneal cavity at laparotomy for gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate the immunological repertoire in the peritoneal cavity of gastric cancer patients.METHODS:The peritoneal cavity is a compartment in which immunological host-tumor interactions can occur.However,the role of lymphocytes in the peritoneal cavity of gastric cancer patients is unclear.We observed 64 patients who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer and 11 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstones and acted as controls.Lymphocytes isolated from both peripheral blood and peritoneal lavage were analyzed for surface markers of lymphocytes and their cytokine production by flow cytometry.CD4+CD25high T cells isolated from the patient's peripheral blood were co-cultivated for 4 d with the intra-peritoneal lymphocytes,and a cytokine assay was performed.RESULTS:At gastrectomy,CCR7 -CD45RA-CD8+ef-fector memory T cells were observed in the peritoneal cavity.The frequency of CD4+CD25 high T cells in both the peripheral blood and peritoneal cavity was elevated in patients at advanced stage[control vs stage Ⅳin the peripheral blood:6.89(3.39-10.4)vs 15.34(11.37-19.31),P<0.05,control vs stageⅣin the peritoneal cavity:8.65(5.28-12.0)vs 19.56(14.81-24.32),P<0.05].On the other hand,the suppression was restored with CD4+CD25high T cells from their own peripheral blood.This study is the first to analyze lymphocyte and cytokine production in the peritoneal cavity in patients with gastric cancer.Immune regulation at advanced stage is reversible at the point of gastrectomy.CONCLUSION:The immunological milieu in the peritoneal cavity of patients with advanced gastric cancer elicited a Th2 response even at gastrectomy,but this response was reversible. | Akira Yoneda Shinichiro Ito Seiya Susumu Mitsutoshi Matsuo Ken Taniguchi Yoshitsugu Tajima Susumu Eguchi Takashi Kanematsu Yasuhiro Nagata | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,13: | 5 |
| 11 | Anticancer effect of linalool via cancer-specific hydroxyl radical generation in human colon cancer显示文摘AIM To investigate the anticancer mechanisms of the monoterpenoid alcohol linalool in human colon cancer cells.METHODS The cytotoxic effect of linalool on the human colon cancer cell lines and a human fibroblast cell line was examined using the WST-8 assay. The apoptosisinducing effect of linalool was measured using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase d UTP nickend labeling assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V. Oxidative stress was investigated by staining for diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine, which is a cellular lipid peroxidation marker, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Sixteen SCID mice xenografted with human cancer cells were randomized into 3 groups for in vivo analysis: control and low-dose and high-dose linalool groups. The control group was administered tap water orally every 3 d. The linalool treatment groups were administered 100 or 200 μg/kg linalool solution orally for the same period. All mice were sacrificed under anesthesia 21 d after tumor inoculation, and tumors and organs were collected for immunohistochemistry using an anti-4-hydroxynonenal antibody. Tumor weights were measured and compared between groups. RESULTS Linalool induced apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro, following the cancer-specific induction of oxidative stress, which was measured based on spontaneous hydroxyl radical production and delayed lipid peroxidation. Mice in the high-dose linalool group exhibited a 55% reduction in mean xenograft tumor weight compared with mice in the control group(P < 0.05). In addition, tumor-specific lipid peroxidation was observed in the in vivo model.CONCLUSION Linalool exhibited an anticancer effect via cancerspecific oxidative stress, and this agent has potential for application in colon cancer therapy. | Kenichi Iwasaki Yun-Wen Zheng Soichiro Murata Hiromu Ito Ken Nakayama Tomohiro Kurokawa Naoki Sano Takeshi Nowatari Myra O Villareal Yumiko N Nagano Hiroko Isoda Hirofumi Matsui Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,44: | 5 |
| 12 | Fractalkine and TGF-β1 levels reflect the severity of chronic pancreatitis in humans显示文摘AIM: To clarify whether serum chemokine and cytokine levels can become useful biological and functional markers to assess the severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP). This study aimed at clarifying whether serum chemokine and cytokine levels can become useful biological and functional markers to assess the severity of CP. METHODS: Serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1), and soluble type fractalkine (s-fractalkine) concentrations were examined in patients with CP (n = 109) and healthy controls (n = 116). Severity of disease was classified in patients with CP by a staging system. Relationships between stage-specifi c various clinical factors and serum MCP-1, TGF-β1, and s-fractalkine levels were investigated. Furthermore, 57 patients with non-alcoholic CP were similarly evaluated in order to exclude in? uence of alcohol intake. RESULTS: Patients with CP showed signifi cant higher levels of serum TGF-β1 and s-fractalkine, but not MCP-1, compared to the controls. Serum TGF-β1 in the severe stage and s-fractalkine in the mild and thesevere stage of CP significantly increased compared to those of controls. However, it was observed that both TGF-β1 and s-fractalkine levels were affected by alcohol intake. In patients with non-alcoholic CP, serum TGF-β1 showed significant increase in the moderate stage of CP, and serum s-fractalkine revealed signifi cant increase in the early stage of CP. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the measurement of serum F-fractalkine is useful to diagnose early-stage CP. Moreover, the combined determination of both, s-fractalkine and TGF-β1, in human sera may be helpful in evaluating the severity status of CP. | Mikihiko Yasuda Tetsuhide Ito Takamasa Oono Ken Kawabe Toyoma Kaku Hisato Igarashi Taichi Nakamura Ryoichi Takayanagi | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,42: | 4 |
| 13 | Chemoradiotherapy with twice-weekly administration of low-dose gemcitabine for locally advanced pancreatic cancer显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer utilizing low dose gemcitabine as a radiation sensitizer administered twice weekly. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of chemoradiotherapy utilizing gemcitabine administered twice weekly at a dose of 40 mg/m2. After that, maintenance systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine, at a dose of 1000 mg/m2, was administered weekly for 3 wk with 1-wk rest until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity developed. RESULTS: Eighteen patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer were enrolled. Three of those patients could not continue with the therapy; one patient had interstitial pneumonia during radiation therapy and two other patients showed liver metastasis or peritoneal metastasis during an early stage of the therapy. The median survival was 15.0 mo and the overall 1-year survival rate was 60%, while the median progression-free survival was 8.0 mo. The subgroup which showed the reduction of tumor development, more than 50% showed a tendency for a better prognosis; however, other parameters including age, gender and performance status did not correlate with survival. The median survival of the groups that died of liver metastasis and peritoneal metastasis were 13.0 mo and 27.7 mo, respectively.CONCLUSION: Chemoradiotherapy with low-dose gemcitabine administered twice weekly could be effective to patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer; however, patients developing liver metastases had a worse prognosis. Another chemoradiotherapy strategy might be needed for those patients, such as administrating one or two cycles of chemotherapy initially, followed by chemoradiotherapy for the cases with no distant metastases. | Hisato Igarashi Tetsuhide Ito Ken Kawabe Terumasa Hisano Yoshiyuki Arita Toyoma Kaku Ryoichi Takayanagi | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,34: | 3 |
| 14 | Contrast uptake in primary hepatic angiosarcoma on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in the hepatobiliary phase显示文摘Primary hepatic angiosarcoma is the most common malignant mesenchymal tumor of the liver. It has a poor prognosis and various appearances on magnetic resonance(MR) images. We report a case of hepatic angiosarcoma with a characteristic appearance on gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MR imaging in the hepatobiliary phase. A 72-year-old man was admitted with a complaint of abdominal pain. Gd-EOBDTPA-enhanced MR imaging revealed a liver tumor that showed slight hyperintensity in the hepatobiliary phase. These findings suggested Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake in the tumor. An autopsy revealed the solid proliferation and sinusoidal spreading of hepatic angiosarcoma cells. Immunohistochemistry indicated that the tumor was negative for OATP1B3. Gd-EOB-DTPA uptake in the liver tumor in the hepatobiliary phase suggested sinusoidal tumor invasion with residual normal hepatocytes. | Manabu Hayashi Satoshi Kawana Hirofumi Sekino Kazumichi Abe Naoki Matsuoka Masahito Kashiwagi Ken Okai Yukiko Kanno Atsushi Takahashi Hiroshi Ito Yuko Hashimoto Hiromasa Ohira | 2018 | World Journal of Hepatology2018,10,1: | 3 |
| 15 | Inverted Meckel's diverticulum preoperatively diagnosed using double-balloon enteroscopy显示文摘An inverted Meckel's diverticulum is a rare gastrointestinal congenital anomaly that is difficult to diagnose prior to surgery and presents with anemia, abdominal pain, or intussusception. Here, we report the case of 57-year-old men with an inverted Meckel's diverticulum, who was preoperatively diagnosed using doubleballoon enteroscopy. He had repeatedly experienced epigastric pain for 2 mo. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed intestinal wall thickening in the pelvis. Double-balloon enteroscopy via the anal route was performed for further examination, which demonstrated an approximately 8-cm, sausage-shaped, submucosal tumor located approximately 80 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. A small depressed erosion was observed at the tip of this lesion. Forceps biopsy revealed heterotopic gastric mucosa. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with an inverted Meckel's diverticulum, and single-incision laparoscopic surgery was performed. This case suggests that an inverted Meckel's diverticulum should be considered as a differential diagnosis for a submucosal tumor in the ileum. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy with forceps biopsy facilitate a precise diagnosis of this condition. | Kosuke Takagaki Satoshi Osawa Tatsuhiro Ito Moriya Iwaizumi Yasushi Hamaya Hiroe Tsukui Takahisa Furuta Hidetoshi Wada Satoshi Baba Ken Sugimoto | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,17: | 2 |

| 19 | Novel serine/threonine kinase 11 gene mutations in PeutzJeghers syndrome patients and endoscopic management显示文摘AIM:To explore mutations in serine/threonine kinase 11(STK11) gene in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome(PJS) with gastrointestinal(GI) hamartomatous polyps.METHODS:Six Japanese PJS patients in 3 families were enrolled in this study.Each of the cases had hamartomatous polyposis in the gastrointestinal tract,including the small intestine,along with mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation.Narrow-band imaging(NBI)-magnification endoscopy was employed to detect microvascular and microsurface irregularities in the GI lesions.NBI magnification findings could be classified into three groups(type A,type B,or type C).Endoscopic polypectomy was performed using double-balloon enteroscopy or colonoscopy.Genomic DNA was extracted from a whole blood sample from each subject.All of the coding exons of STK11 gene,its boundary regions,and the promoter region containing the polymorphic regions were amplified by polymerase chain reaction,and direct sequencing was performed to assess the germline mutations.RESULTS:NBI-magnification endoscopic observation could detect the abnormalities in microvessels and microsurface structures of GI polyps.Overall,we found 5 cases of type A and one case without the examination for the gastric polyps,while there were 4 cases of type B and 2 case of type A for the colorectal polyps.Seventy-nine small-bowel and 115 colorectal polyps over 27 sessions for each were resected endoscopically without significant complications.The only delayed complication included the occurrence of bleeding in a case,and this was successfully managed with hemoclips.Resected polyps contained no malignant components.Based on mutation analysis,all 3 cases in Family I exhibited the +658C>T nonsense mutation in exon 5,which resulted in the production of a truncated protein(Q220X).In Family II,a case had-252C>A and-193C>A in the promoter region.In Family III,a case was found to have the +1062C>G(F342L) mutation in exon 8.CONCLUSION:We found two novel mutations of STK11 in association with PJS.Endoscopic polypectomy of GI polyps in PJS patients appears to be useful to prevent emergency laparotomies and reduce the cancer risk. | Hiroyuki Yajima Hajime Isomoto Hiroaki Nishioka Naoyuki Yamaguchi Ken Ohnita Tatsuki Ichikawa Fuminao Takeshima Saburo Shikuwa Masahiro Ito Kazuhiko Nakao Kazuhiro Tsukamoto Shigeru Kohno | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2013,5,3: | 2 |
