| 1 | Clinical implications of fatty pancreas:Correlations between fatty pancreas and metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM:To investigate the clinical implications of lipid deposition in the pancreas(fatty pancreas). METHODS:The subjects of this study were 293 patients who had undergone abdominal computed tomography(CT)and sonography.Fatty pancreas was diagnosed by sonographic findings and subdivided into mild,moderate,and severe fatty pancreas groups comparing to the retroperitoneal fat echogenicity. RESULTS:Fatty pancreas was associated with higher levels for visceral fat,waist circumference,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein,free fatty acid,γ-GTP,insulin,and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)than the control group(P<0.05).HOMAIR,visceral fat,triglyceride,and ALT also tended to increase with the degree of fat deposition in the pancreas on sonography.In a multivariate logistic regression analysis,HOMA-IR,visceral fat,and ALT level were independently related to fatty pancreas after adjustment for age,body mass index,and lipid profile.The incidence of metabolic syndrome in the fatty pancreas group was significantly higher than in the control group,and the numbers of metabolic syndrome parameters were significantly higher in the fatty pancreas group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Sonographic fatty pancrease showed higher insulin resistance,visceral fat area,triglyceride, and ALT levels than normal pancreases.Fatty pancreas also showed a strong correlation with metabolic syndrome. | Jun Seok Lee Sang Heum Kim Dae Won Jun Jee Hye Han Eun Chul Jang Ji Young Park Byung Kwan Son Seong Hwan Kim Yoon Ju Jo Young Sook Park Yong Soo Kim | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,15: | 40 |
| 2 | Efficacy and safety of 0.4 percent sodium hyaluronate for endoscopic submucosal dissection of gastric neoplasms显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate solution(SH) in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) of gastric neoplasms.METHODS:A prospective multicenter randomized,double blind,controlled trial was designed and utilized in this study.A total of 76 patients with 5-20 mm sized gastric neoplasms were enrolled at three academic hospitals in South Korea from June 2011 to October 2011.Patients were randomly assigned to the 0.4% sodium hyaluronate or control groups.All lesions underwent endoscopic ESD.ESD was performed with 0.4%SH and normal saline(NS) solution for submucosal injection.Efficacy was assessed using en bloc resection and the number of additional injections.Secondary evaluation variables were the volume of injection material,steepness of mucosal elevation,bleeding rate,procedural time and operator satisfaction.Finally,the safety was assessed by analyzing adverse events during the study.RESULTS:The usefulness rate in the 0.4%SH group and the controlled group had statistically significant difference under intention to treat(ITT) analysis(90.91% vs 61.11% P = 0.0041).Under per protocol(PP),the usefulness rate is statistically significant different(93.10% vs 61.76%,P = 0.0036).The difference in volume of the solution injected between 0.4%SH group and the controlled group and NS group was also statistically significant under intention to treat and per protocol analysis(ITT:0.03 ± 0.02 mL vs 0.06 ± 0.03 mL,P = 0.0003,PP:0.03 ± 0.02 mL vs 0.06 ± 0.03 mL,P = 0.0004).Satisfaction above the grade good was significantly higher in the SH group under intention to treat and per protocol analysis(ITT:90.91% vs 61.11%,P = 0.0041,PP = 93.11% vs 61.77%,P = 0.0022).Adverse events above grade 3 were not noticed in either group.All adverse events were treated and were judged as not associated with the submucosal injection solutions.CONCLUSION:0.4%SH solution is a safe and effective agent that doesn't cause any significant adverse events and is useful for submucosal injection during ESD. | Young Dae Kim Jun Lee Ju Yeon Cho Seok Won Kim Seong Hwan Kim Young Kwan Cho Jin Seok Jang Ji Sun Han Joo Young Cho | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,20: | 26 |
| 3 | Comparison of the efficacy and safety of sedation between dexmedetomidine-remifentanil and propofol-remifentanil during endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of sedation protocols for endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) between dexmedetomidine-remifentanil and propofolremifentanil.METHODS: Fifty-nine patients scheduled for ESD were randomly allocated into a dexmedetomidineremifentanil(DR) group or a propofol-remifentanil(PR) group. To control patient anxiety, dexmedetomidine or propofol was infused to maintain a score of 4-5 on the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale. Remifentanil was infused continuously at a rate of 6 μg/kg per hour in both groups. The ease of advancing the scope into the throat, gastric motility grading, and satisfaction of the endoscopist and patient were assessed. Hemodynamic variables and hypoxemic events were compared to evaluate patient safety.RESULTS: Demographic data were comparable between the groups. The hemodynamic variables and pulse oximetry values were stable during the procedure in both groups despite a lower heart rate in the DR group. No oxygen desaturation events occurred in either group. Although advancing the scope into the throat was easier in the PR group('very easy' 24.1% vs 56.7%, P = 0.010), gastric motility was moresuppressed in the DR group('no + mild' 96.6% vs 73.3%, P = 0.013). The endoscopists felt that the procedure was more favorable in the DR group('very good + good' 100% vs 86.7%, P = 0.042), whereas patient satisfaction scores were comparable between the groups. En bloc resection was performed 100% of the time in both groups, and the complete resection rate was 94.4% in the DR group and 100% in the PR group(P = 0.477). CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil were comparable to propofol and remifentanil during ESD. However, the endoscopists favored dexmedetomidine perhaps due to lower gastric motility. | Namo Kim Young-Chul Yoo Sang Kil Lee Hyunzu Kim Hyang Mi Ju Kyeong Tae Min | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,12: | 25 |

| 5 | Colonoscopy evaluation after short-term anti-tuberculosis treatment in nonspecific ulcers on the ileocecal area显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the eff icacy of colonoscopy follow-up after short-term anti-tuberculosis treatment in patients with nonspecific ulcers on ileocecal areas being suspicious of tuberculous colitis. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed the colonoscopic fi ndings before and after short term anti- tuberculosis treatment in 18 patients with nonspecifi c ulcers on the ileocecal area and compared them with 7 patients of confi rmed tuberculous colitis by acid-fast bacilli or caseating granuloma on colonic biopsy. RESULTS: Mean duration for short-term follow- up was 107.3 d with combined chemotherapy containing isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide. Seven patients with tuberculous colitis showed complete healing of active ulcers after short- term medication. After short-term anti-tuberculosis treatment, follow-up colonoscopy findings devided 18 patients with nonspecific ulcers into two groups by ulcer state. One is the 'suspicious tuberculous colitis group' showing healing of ulcers and erosions and another is the 'suspicious inflammatory bowel disease group' showing active ulcers with or without aggravation of the lesion. Finally, all 9 of the 'suspicious tuberculous colitis group' were diagnosed as tuberculous colitis showing no recurrence of ulcers after termination of 9 mo of anti-tuberculosis medication. Patients of the 'suspicious inflammatorybowel disease group' were f inally diagnosed as Crohn's disease or nonspecifi c colonic ulcers during long-term follow up. CONCLUSION: Follow-up colonoscopy shows a healing stage ulcer or scarring change without an active ulcer with just 2 mo to 3 mo of medication in patients with tuberculous colitis. Colonoscopy follow-up after short term anti-tuberculosis trial in patients with nonspecif ic ulcers on the ileocecal area is valuable in making early differential diagnosis of tuberculous colitis. | Young Sook Park Dae Won Jun Seong Hwan Kim Han Hyo Lee Yun Ju Jo Moon Hee Song Nam In Kim Jun Seok Lee | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,32: | 14 |
| 6 | Low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field pretreated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells promote the regeneration of crush-injured rat mental nerve显示文摘Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) have been shown to promote the regeneration of injured peripheral nerves. Pulsed electromagnetic field(PEMF) reportedly promotes the proliferation and neuronal differentiation of BMSCs. Low-frequency PEMF can induce the neuronal differentiation of BMSCs in the absence of nerve growth factors. This study was designed to investigate the effects of low-frequency PEMF pretreatment on the proliferation and function of BMSCs and the effects of low-frequency PEMF pre-treated BMSCs on the regeneration of injured peripheral nerve using in vitro and in vivo experiments. In in vitro experiments, quantitative DNA analysis was performed to determine the proliferation of BMSCs, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect S100(Schwann cell marker), glial fibrillary acidic protein(astrocyte marker), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor(neurotrophic factors) m RNA expression. In the in vivo experiments, rat models of crush-injured mental nerve established using clamp method were randomly injected with low-frequency PEMF pretreated BMSCs, unpretreated BMSCs or PBS at the injury site(1 × 106 cells). Di I-labeled BMSCs injected at the injury site were counted under the fluorescence microscope to determine cell survival. One or two weeks after cell injection, functional recovery of the injured nerve was assessed using the sensory test with von Frey filaments. Two weeks after cell injection, axonal regeneration was evaluated using histomorphometric analysis and retrograde labeling of trigeminal ganglion neurons. In vitro experiment results revealed that low-frequency PEMF pretreated BMSCs proliferated faster and had greater m RNA expression of growth factors than unpretreated BMSCs. In vivo experiment results revealed that compared with injection of unpretreated BMSCs, injection of low-frequency PEMF pretreated BMSCs led to higher myelinated axon count and axon density and more Di I-labeled neurons in the trigeminal ganglia, contributing to rapider functional recovery of injured mental nerve. These findings suggest that low-frequency PEMF pretreatment is a promising approach to enhance the efficacy of cell therapy for peripheral nerve injury repair. | NaRi Seo Sung-Ho Lee Kyung Won Ju JaeMan Woo BongJu Kim SoungMin Kim Jeong Won Jahng Jong-Ho Lee | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,1: | 11 |
| 7 | Endoscopic features suggesting gastric cancer in biopsy-proven gastric adenoma with high-grade neoplasia显示文摘AIM:To elucidate the endoscopic features that predict the cancer following endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)in patients with high-grade neoplasia(HGN).METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent ESD of gastric neoplasms from January 2007 to September 2010.ESD was performed in 555 cases involving 550 patients.A total of 112 lesions from 110 consecutive patients were initially diagnosed as HGN without cancer by forceps biopsy,and later underwent ESD.We classified lesions into two groups according to histologic discrepancies between the biopsy and ESD diagnosis.Gastric adenoma in the final diagnosis by ESD specimens were defined as adenoma group.Lesions with coexisting cancer after ESD were defined as cancer group.RESULTS:The mean age was 65.3 years,and 81 patients were male.There was no significant difference in the age or gender distribution between the adenoma(n=52)and cancer(n=60)groups.Thirty-six of these lesions(32.1%)showed histologic concordance between the forceps biopsy and ESD specimens,16(14.3%)showed a downgraded histology(low-grade neoplasia),and 60(53.6%)showed an upgraded histology(cancer).A red color change of the mucosal surface on endoscopy was found in 27/52(51.9%)of cases in the adenoma group and in 46/60(76.7%)of cases in the cancer group(P=0.006).Ulceration of the mucosal surface on endoscopy was found in 5(9.6%)of 52 lesions in the adenoma group and in 17(28.3%)of 60 lesions in the cancer group(P=0.013).In the multivariate analysis,a reddish surface color change and mucosal ulceration were significant predictive factors correlated with cancer after ESD of the HGN by forceps biopsy.CONCLUSION:HGN with a red color change or mucosal ulceration correlated with the presence of gastric cancer.These finding may help to guide the diagnosis and treatment. | Jung Ho Kim Yoon Jae Kim Jungsuk An Jong Joon Lee Jae Hee Cho Kyoung Oh Kim Jun-Won Chung Kwang An Kwon Dong Kyun Park Ju Hyun Kim | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,34: | 10 |

| 11 | Biopathologic features and clinical significance of micrometatasis in the lymph node of early gastric cancer显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the biopathologic features and clinical significance of nodal micrometastasis(MI) in early gastric cancer(EGC).METHODS: Among 1022 EGC patients who underwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy of D1 + β or more from March 2001 to December 2005 at the Korean National Cancer Center, available nodal metastasis was found in 90 p T1N1 patients. Nodal metastasis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry(IHC) with cytokeratin and patients were classified into MI and macrometastasis(MA) groups based on the main tumor burden according to the 6th International Union Against Cancer/American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system; the main tumor burden with a diameter of greater than 0.2 mm but no greater than 2 mm as MI, and greater than 2 mm as MA of the representative metastatic node. Proliferative and apoptotic activities of the primary tumor and the nodal metastasis were measured by IHC with Ki-67 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase d UTP nick end labeling, respectively. Biopathologic and clinical features of the patients were analyzed and compared between MI and MA groups. Patients with recurrence were compared with those without recurrence to identify risk factors for recurrence.RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients showed MI and the other 53 patients revealed MA in the lymph node; the incidence of patients with MI and MA was 41.1% and 58.9%. The main tumor burden was 0.9 and 4.6 mm in the representative metastatic node, respectively. Japanese N2 stations were more frequently involved in MA group(20.9%) than in MI group(10.3%) butthe difference was not statistically different(P = 0.338). Proliferative and apoptotic activities of MI were decreased than those of MA(26.7% vs 40.5%, P = 0.004 and 1.0% vs 3.0%, P < 0.001, respectively). However, nodal MI in the current study showed a relatively high proliferative activity and an equivalent apoptotic activity compared to other cancers in the previously published studies. Recurrence was observed in 6 patients during the mean follow up period of 87.6 ± 26.2 mo. The recurrence was significantly associated with the presence of MA(P = 0.041) and lymphovascular invasion of the primary tumor(P = 0.032).CONCLUSION: Lymphadenectomy of D1 + β or more might be necessary in patients with MI in sentinel node to prevent recurrence by clearing MI involving Japanese N2 station. | Min Jung Jo Ji Yeon Park Joon Seon Song Myeong-Cherl Kook Keun Won Ryu Soo-Jeong Cho Jun Ho Lee Byung-Ho Nam Eun Kyung Hong Il Ju Choi Young-Woo Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,2: | 9 |
| 12 | 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 |
| 13 | Risk factors for local recurrence after en bloc endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer显示文摘AIM: To investigate factors related to recurrence following en bloc resection using endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) in patients with early gastric cancer(EGC). METHODS: A total of 1121 patients(1215 lesions) who had undergone ESD for gastric neoplasia between April 2003 and May 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Data from 401 patients(415 lesions) were analyzed, following the exclusion of those who underwent piecemeal resection, with deep resection margin invasion or lateral margin infiltration, and diagnosed with benign lesions. RESULTS: Local recurrence after en bloc ESD was found in 36 cases(8.7%). Unclear resection margins, long procedure times, and narrow safety margins were identified as risk factors for recurrence. Lesions located in the upper third of the stomach showed a higher rate of recurrence than those located in the lower third of the stomach(OR = 2.9, P = 0.03). The probability of no recurrence for up to 24 mo was 79.9% in those with a safety resection margin ≤ 1 mm and 89.5% in those with a margin > 1 mm(log-rank test, P = 0.03). CONCLUSION: Even in cases in which en bloc ESD is performed for EGC, local recurrence still occurs. To reduce local recurrences, more careful assessment will be needed prior to the implementation of ESD in casesin which the tumor is located in the upper third of the stomach. In addition, clear identification of tumor boundaries as well as the securing of sufficient safety resection margins will be important. | Ju Yup Lee Kwang Bum Cho Eun Soo Kim Kyung Sik Park Yoo Jin Lee Yoon Suk Lee Byoung Kuk Jang Woo Jin Chung Jae Seok Hwang | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2016,8,7: | 8 |
| 14 | Long term outcome of antiviral therapy in patients with hepatitis B associated decompensated cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To investigate survival rate and incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in patients with decompensated cirrhosis in the antiviral era.METHODS We used the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment. Korea's health insurance system is a public single-payer system. The study population consisted of 286871 patients who were prescribed hepatitis B antiviral therapy for the first time between 2007 and 2014 in accordance with the insurance guidelines.Overall, 48365 antiviral treatment-na?ve patients treated between 2008 and 2009 were included, and each had a follow-up period ≥ 5 years. Data were analyzed for the 1 st decompensated chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and treatment-na?ve patients(n = 7166). RESULTS The mean patient age was 43.5 years. The annual mortality rates were 2.4%-19.1%, and 5-year cumulative mortality rate was 32.6% in 1^(st) decompensated CHB treatment-na?ve subjects. But the annual mortality rates sharply decreased to 3.4%(2.4%-4.9%, 2-5 year) after one year of antiviral treatment. Incidence of HCC at first year was 14.3%, the annual incidence of HCC decreased to 2.5%(1.8%-3.7%, 2-5 year) after one year. 5-year cumulative incidence of HCC was 24.1%. Recurrence rate of decompensated event was 46.9% at first year, but the annual incidence of second decompensation events in decompensated CHB treatment-na?ve patients was 3.4%(2.1%-5.4%, 2-5 year) after one year antiviral treatment. 5-year cumulative recurrence rate of decompensated events was 60.6%. Meanwhile, 5-year cumulative mortality rate was 3.1%, and 5-year cumulative incidence of HCC was 11.5% in compensated CHB treatment-na?ve patients.CONCLUSION Long term outcome of decompensated cirrhosis treated with antiviral agent improved much, and incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality sharply decreased after one year treatment. | Young-Cheol Ju Dae-Won Jun Jun Choi Waqar Khalid Saeed Hyo-Young Lee Hyun-Woo Oh | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,40: | 8 |
| 15 | Exophytic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the stomach in an adult woman:A rare cause of hemoperitoneum显示文摘Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the stomach in adults is extremely rare, with unpredictable prognosis. We present a 55-year-old woman with a gastric IMT. She experienced sudden abdominal pain 4 d previously. Physical examination showed mild abdominal tenderness in the hypogastrium, but no palpable abnormal abdominal mass. Abdominal CT showed a mass of approximately 8 cm in the gastrocolic ligament. On laparoscopic exploration, unexpected hemoperitoneum of approximately 1.5 L of blood was found, and an exophytic gastric mass of approximately 10 cm, appeared from the anterior wall of the gastric body along the greater curvature. Laparoscopy further showed that non-clotting blood in the abdominal cavity seemed to be from the gastric tumor. After conversion to open surgery for more precise evaluation of the cause of hemoperitoneum and the large friable tumor, gastric wedge resection, including the tumor, was conducted. The final diagnosis was consistent with IMT that originated from the gastric wall. | Seong-Heum Park Jong-Han Kim Byung Wook Min Tae Jin Song Gil Soo Son Seung Joo Kim Sang Woo Lee Hwan-Hoon Chung Ju Han Lee Jun Won Um | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,1: | 8 |
| 16 | Optimal culture conditions for the generation of natural killer cell-induced dendritic cells for cancer immunotherapy显示文摘Dendritic cell(DC)-based vaccines continue to be considered an attractive tool for cancer immunotherapy.DCs require an additional signal from the environment or other immune cells to polarize the development of immune responses toward T helper 1(Th1)or Th2 responses.DCs play a role in natural killer(NK)cell activation,and NK cells are also able to activate and induce the maturation of DCs.We investigated the types of NK cells that can induce the maturation and enhanced function of DCs and the conditions under which these interactions occur.DCs that were activated by resting NK cells in the presence of inflammatory cytokines exhibited increased expression of several costimulatory molecules and an enhanced ability to produce IL-12p70.NK cell-stimulated DCs potently induced Th1 polarization and exhibited the ability to generate tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses.Our data demonstrate that functional DCs can be generated by coculturing immature DCs with freshly isolated resting NK cells in the presence of Toll-like receptor agonists and proinflammatory cytokines and that the resulting DCs effectively present antigens to induce tumor-specific T-cell responses,which suggests that these cells may be useful for cancer immunotherapy. | Thanh-Nhan Nguyen-Pham Deok-Hwan Yang Truc-Anh Thi Nguyen Mi-Seon Lim Cheol Yi Hong Mi-Hyun Kim Hyun Ju Lee Youn-Kyung Lee Duck Cho Soo-Young Bae Jae-Sook Ahn Yeo-Kyeoung Kim Ik-Joo Chung Hyeoung-Joon Kim Je-Jung Lee | 2012 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2012,9,1: | 8 |
| 17 | Survival analysis following early surgical success in intermittent exotropia surgery显示文摘AIM:To assess the consecutive recurrence following early success of intermittent exotropia surgery and to determine the clinical factors that affect the survival.METHODS:One hundred and thirty-five patients who underwent intermittent exotropia surgery and experienced early surgical success[≤5 prism diopters(PD)esophoria(E)to≤10 PD exophoria(X)on the postoperative sixth month]were enrolled in this study.Their consecutive survival on the postoperative first year,second year and third year and at the last visit of fourth year or more,and the factors that might affect their survival,were analyzed.The final surgical outcomes after the postoperative fourth year were also investigated by dividing the patients into the success group(≤5 PD E to≤10 PD X)and the failure group(>5 PD esodeviation or>10 PD exodeviation)RESULTS:The survival rates from the Kaplan-Meier analysis were 97.78%,92.89%,83.70%and 50.49%on the postoperative first,second and third years and fourth year or more,respectively.None of the clinical factors was determined to have affected the survival.The amount of the exodrift was largest(2.29 PD)between the first year and the second year,and smallest(1.47 PD)between the fourth year and the last visit.Sixty-three patients had their final visit after the postoperative fourth year,and 29 of them were in the failure group.Twentyfive patients in the failure group had an intermittent exotropia(IXT)of<20 PD with good to fair distant fusion;two had an IXT of<20 PD with poor distant fusion;one had an IXT of≥20 PD with fair distant fusion;and another had delayed-onset consecutive esotropia.The exodeviation on the postoperative sixth month was smaller in the success group than in the failure group(2.81 PD vs 5.86 PD,P=0.012).The reoperation rate for recurrent IXT was 3.7%.CONCLUSION:The survival rate steadily decreases with the exodrift,but the amount of the exodrift decreases with long-term follow-up.The final outcomes demonstrate favorable results via surgical success or small-angle IXT with good fusion in most of the patients.A smaller deviation on the postoperative sixth month is associated with long-term survival. | Joo Yeon Lee Sung Ju Ko Sung Uk Baek | 2014 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2014,7,3: | 8 |
| 18 | Effect of gadolinium incorporation on optical characteristics of YNbO_4:Eu^(3+) phosphors for lamp applications显示文摘Eu3+-doped (Y,Gd)NbO4 phosphor was synthesized by solid-state reaction for possible application in cold cathode fluorescent lamps. A broad absorption band with peak maximum at 272 nm was observed which was due to the charge transfer between Eu3+ ions and neighboring oxygen anions. A deep red emission at the peak wavelength of 612 nm was observed which could be attributed to the 5D0→7F2 transition in Eu3+ ions. The highest luminance for Y1-x-yGdyNbO4:Eux3+ under 254 nm excitation was achieved at Eu3+ concentration of 18 mol.% (x=0.18) and Gd3+ concentration of 8.2 mol.% (y=0.082). The luminance of Y0.738Gd0.082NbO4:Eu3+0.18 was higher than that of a typical commercial phosphor Y2O3:Eu3+ and the CIE chromaticity coordinate was (0.6490, 0.3506), which was deeper than that of Y2O3:Eu3+. The particle size of the synthesized phosphors was controlled by the NaCl flux and particle size as high as 8 μm with uniform size distribution of particles was obtained. | Sung Hwan Choi G.

| 19 | Mismatched effects of receptor interacting protein kinase-3 on hepatic steatosis and inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM To validate the effects of receptor interacting protein kinase-3(RIP3) deletion in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) and to clarify the mechanism of action.METHODS Wild-type(WT) and RIP3 knockout(KO) mice werefed normal chow and high fat(HF) diets for 12 wk. The body weight was assessed once weekly. After 12 wk, the liver and serum samples were extracted. The liver tissue expression levels of RIP3, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, protein disulfide isomerase, apolipoprotein-B, X-box binding protein-1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, fatty acid synthase, cluster of differentiation-36, diglyceride acyltransferase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), and interleukin-6 were assessed. Oleic acid treated primary hepatocytes from WT and RIP3 KO mice were stained with Nile red. The expression of inflammatory cytokines, including chemokine(C-X-C motif) ligand(CXCL) 1, CXCL2, and TNF-α, in monocytes was evaluated.RESULTS RIP3 KO HF diet fed mice showed a significant gain in body weight, and liver weight, liver to body weight ratio, and liver triglycerides were increased in HF diet fed RIP3 KO mice compared to HF diet fed WT mice. RIP3 KO primary hepatocytes also had increased intracellular fat droplets compared to WT primary hepatocytes after oleic acid treatment. RIP3 overexpression decreased hepatic fat content. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression of very-low-density lipoproteins secretion markers(microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, protein disulfide isomerase, and apolipoprotein-B) was significantly suppressed in RIP3 KO mice. The overall NAFLD Activity Score was the same between WT and RIP3 KO mice; however, RIP3 KO mice had increased fatty change and decreased lobular inflammation compared to WT mice. Inflammatory signals(CXCL1/2, TNF-α, and interleukin-6) increased after lipopolysaccharide and pancaspase inhibitor(necroptotic condition) treatment in monocytes. Neutrophil chemokines(CXCL1, and CXCL2) were decreased, and TNF-α was increased after RIP3 inhibitor treatment in monocytes.CONCLUSION RIP3 deletion exacerbates steatosis, and partially inhibits inflammation in the HF diet induced NAFLD model. | Waqar Khalid Saeed Dae Won Jun Kiseok Jang Sang Bong Ahn Ju Hee Oh Yeon Ji Chae Jai Sun Lee Hyeon Tae Kang | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,48: | 7 |
| 20 | Individual having a parent with early-onset gastric cancer may need screening at younger age显示文摘AIM: To evaluate whether individuals with gastric cancer(GC) are diagnosed earlier if they have firstdegree relatives with GC.METHODS: A total of 4282 patients diagnosed with GC at National Cancer Center Hospital from 2002 to 2012 were enrolled in this retrospective study. We classified the patients according to presence or absence of first-degree family history of GC and compared age at diagnosis and clinicopathologic characteristics. In addition, we further classified patients according to specific family member with GC(father, mother, sibling, or offspring) and compared age at GC diagnosis among these patient groups. Baseline characteristics were obtained from a prospectively collected database. Information about the family member's age at GC diagnosis was obtained by questionnaire.RESULTS: A total of 924 patients(21.6%) had a firstdegree family history of GC. The mean age at GC diagnosis in patients having paternal history of GC was 54.4 ± 10.4 years and was significantly younger than in those without a first-degree family history(58.1 ± 12.0 years, P < 0.001). However, this finding was not observed in patients who had an affected mother(57.2 ± 10.0 years) or sibling(62.2 ± 9.8 years). Among patients with family member having early-onset GC(< 50 years old), mean age at diagnosis was 47.7 ± 10.3 years for those with an affected father, 48.6 ± 10.4 years for those with an affected mother, and 57.4 ± 11.5 years for those with an affected sibling. Thus, patients with a parent diagnosed before 50 years of age developed GC 10.4 or 9.5 years earlier than individuals without a family history of GC(both P <0.001).CONCLUSION: Early-onset GC before age of 50 was associated with parental history of early-onset of GC. Individual having such family history need to start screening earlier. | Hee-Won Kwak Il Ju Choi Chan Gyoo Kim Jong Yeul Lee Soo-Jeong Cho Bang Wool Eom Hong Man Yoon Jungnam Joo Keun Won Ryu Young-Woo Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,15: | 7 |
