| 1 | Update on hepatitis B and C virus diagnosis显示文摘Viral hepatitis B and C virus(HBV and HCV) are responsible for the most of chronic liver disease worldwide and are transmitted by parenteral route, sexual and vertical transmission. One important measure to reduce the burden of these infections is the diagnosis of acute and chronic cases of HBV and HCV. In order to provide an effective diagnosis and monitoring of antiviral treatment, it is important to choose sensitive, rapid, inexpensive, and robust analytical methods. Primary diagnosis of HBV and HCV infection is made by using serological tests for detecting antigens and antibodies against these viruses. In order to confirm primary diagnosis, to quantify viral load, to determine genotypes and resistance mutants for antiviral treatment, qualitative and quantitative molecular tests are used. In this manuscript, we review the current serological and molecular methods for the diagnosis of hepatitis B and C. | Livia Melo Villar Helena Medina Cruz Jakeline Ribeiro Barbosa Cristianne Sousa Bezerra Moyra Machado Portilho Letícia de Paula Scalioni | 2015 | World Journal of Virology2015,4,4: | 9 |
| 2 | Atrophic gastritis: Risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a Latin-American population显示文摘AIM: To study the association between atrophic gastritis (AG) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a Latin-America population. METHODS: A case-control study was performed at two reference Brazilian hospitals including patients diagnosed with advanced ESCC and dyspeptic patients who had been subjected to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, with biopsies of the gastric antrum and body.All cases with ESCC were reviewed by a single pathologist, who applied standard criteria for the diagnosis of mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and dysplasia, all classified as AG. The data on the patients' age, sex, smoking status, and alcohol consumption were collected from clinical records, and any missing information was completed by telephone interview. The association between AG and ESCC was assessed by means of univariate and multiple conditional logistic regressions. RESULTS: Most patients were male, and the median age was 59 years (range: 37-79 years) in both the ESCC and control groups. Univariate analysis showed that an intake of ethanol greater than 32 g/d was an independent risk factor that increased the odds of ESCC 7.57 times (P = 0.014); upon multiple analysis, alcohol intake of ethanol greater than 32 g/d exhibited a risk of 4.54 (P = 0.081), as adjusted for AG and smoking. Smoking was shown to be an independent risk factor that increased the odds of ESCC 14.55 times (P = 0.011) for individuals who smoked 0 to 51 packs/year and 21.40 times (P = 0.006) for those who smoked more than 51 packs/year. Upon multiple analyses, those who smoked up to 51 packs/year exhibited a risk of 7.85 (P = 0.058), and those who smoked more than 51 packs/ year had a risk 11.57 times higher (P = 0.04), as adjusted for AG and alcohol consumption. AG proved to be a risk factor that increased the odds of ESCC 5.33 times (95%CI: 1.55-18.30, P = 0.008) according to the results of univariate conditional logistic regression. CONCLUSION: There was an association by univariate conditional logistic regression between AG and ECSS in this sample of Latin-American population. | Emiliano de Carvalho Almodova Walmar Kerche de Oliveira Lucas Faria Abraho Machado Juliana Rigotto Grejo Thiago Rabelo da Cunha Wagner Colaiacovo Erika Veruska Paiva Ortolan | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,13: | 5 |
| 3 | Brazilian biosafety law and the new breeding technologies显示文摘Globally,the area of land cultivated with genetically modified(GM)crops has increased a thousand-fold over the last two decades.Although this technology has become important for food production,the regulatory frameworks that underpin these outcomes are based on a list of requirements for a risk assessment that differ from country to country.In recent years,policymakers have had the opportunity to learn from the controversies over transgenics to create effective regulatory milestones for emerging technologies,allowing them to reach their potential for a more sustainable agriculture,ensuring food security.In Brazil,Law No.11.105 of 24 March 2005 established a framework with four main organizations responsible for risk assessment and management.However,most of new breeding technologies did not exist at that time and were not considered in this law.In2016,Normative Resolution No.16 of the National Biosafety Technical Commission(CTNBio)was established to address this gap based on the evaluation of the products obtained through these techniques(termed Innovative Precision Improvement Techniques in the resolution),in a case-by-case consultation system.Briefly,if the product is designated to be a GM,the developer will have to go through the biosafety requirements and will be approved only after CTNBio risk assessment.If the product is designated not to be GM(for the purposes of the legislation),then it can be registered using the existing procedures.Currently,152 GM products are commercially approved in Brazil.In 2018,CTNBio assessed the first consultation on commercial release of plants generated using the new breeding technologies and has subsequently approved six products.It is expected that many institutions would be able to participate in Brazilian and world markets,developing and introducing new biotechnological solutions and products through a more sustainable approach and without facing public disapproval,a common issue for GM crops. | Alexandre Lima NEPOMUCENO Renata FUGANTI-PAGLIARINI Maria Sueli Soares FELIPE Hugo Bruno Correa MOLINARI Edivaldo Domingues VELINI Eduardo Romano de Campos PINTO Maria Lucia Zaidan DAGLI Galdino ANDRADE FILHO Patricia Machado Bueno FERNANDES | 2020 | Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering2020,7,2: | 5 |
| 4 | Effect of rare-earth oxides on properties of silicon nitride obtained by normal sintering and sinter-HIP显示文摘This paper presented the microstructure,mechanical properties and oxidation behavior of silicon nitride obtained by both conventional sintering and sintering followed by hot isostatic pressing(HIP).Silicon nitride with additives such as 5 wt.% Al2O3 and 5 wt.% Ln2O3(Ln= La,La concentrate,Gd or La+Gd) were studied.The results revealed that Gd2O3 additions increased the formation of elongated grains of β-Si3N4,the fracture toughness and oxidation resistance.La2O3 additions led to higher densification and hardness values,while addition of La2O3 concentrate promoted the formation of materials with intermediate properties,compared to the other studied compositions.Hot isostatic pressing increased the hardness but decreased the fracture toughness of the material,mainly because it allowed residual pores to close and also reduced the average aspect ratio of β-Si3N4 grains. | Cecilia C.Guedes-Silva Flávio Machado de Souza Carvalho José Carlos Bressiani | 2012 | Journal of Rare Earths2012,30,11: | 4 |
| 5 | Propofol vs midazolam sedation for elective endoscopy in patients with cirrhosis:A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials显示文摘BACKGROUND Patients with cirrhosis frequently require sedation for elective endoscopic procedures.Several sedation protocols are available,but choosing an appropriate sedative in patients with cirrhosis is challenging.AIM To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare propofol and midazolam for sedation in patients with cirrhosis during elective endoscopic procedures in an attempt to understand the best approach.METHODS This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines.Electronic searches were performed using MEDLINE,EMBASE,Central Cochrane,LILACS databases.Only randomized control trials(RCTs)were included.The outcomes studied were procedure time,recovery time,discharge time,and adverse events(bradycardia,hypotension,and hypoxemia).The risk of bias assessment was performed using the Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias tool for randomized trials(RoB-2).Quality of evidence was evaluated by GRADEpro.The meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager.RESULTS The search yielded 3,576 records.Out of these,8 RCTs with a total of 596 patients(302 in the propofol group and 294 in the midazolam group)were included for the final analysis.Procedure time was similar between midazolam and propofol groups(MD:0.25,95%CI:-0.64 to 1.13,P=0.59).Recovery time(MD:-8.19,95%CI:-10.59 to-5.79,P<0.00001).and discharge time were significantly less in the propofol group(MD:-12.98,95%CI:-18.46 to-7.50,P<0.00001).Adverse events were similar in both groups(RD:0.02,95%CI:0-0.04,P=0.58).Moreover,no significant difference was found for bradycardia(RD:0.03,95%CI:-0.01 to 0.07,P=0.16),hypotension(RD:0.03,95%CI:-0.01 to 0.07,P=0.17),and hypoxemia(RD:0.00,95%CI:-0.04 to 0.04,P=0.93).Five studies had low risk of bias,two demonstrated some concerns,and one presented high risk.The quality of the evidence was very low for procedure time,recovery time,and adverse events;while low for discharge time.CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis based on RCTs show that propofol has shorter recovery and patient discharge time as compared to midazolam with a similar rate of adverse events.These results suggest that propofol should be the preferred agent for sedation in patients with cirrhosis. | John Alexander Lata Guacho Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de Moura Igor Braga Ribeiro Alberto Machado da Ponte Neto Shailendra Singh Marina Gammaro Baldavira Tucci Wanderley Marques Bernardo Eduardo Guimarães Hourneaux de Moura | 2020 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2020,12,8: | 4 |
| 6 | A combined computational pipeline to detect circular RNAs in human cancer cells under hypoxic stress显示文摘Hypoxia is associated with several diseases,including cancer.Cells that are deprived of adequate oxygen supply trigger tran-scriptional and post-transcriptional responses,which control cellular pathways such as angiogenesis,proliferation,and metabolic adaptation.Circular RNAs(circRNAs)are a novel class of mainly non-coding RNAs,which have been implicated in multiple cancers and attract increasing attention as potential biomarkers.Here,we characterize the circRNA signatures of three different cancer cell lines from cervical(HeLa),breast(MCF-7),and lung(A549)cancer under hypoxia.In order to reliably detect circRNAs,we integrate available tools with custom approaches for quantification and statistical analysis?Using this consolidated computational pipeline,we identify?12000 circRNAs in the three cancer celUines.Their molecular characteristics point to an involvement of complementary RNA sequences as well as trans-acting factors in circRNA biogenesis,such as the RNA-binding protein HNRNPC-Notably,we detect a number of circRNAs that are more abundant than their linear counterparts.In addition,64 circRNAs significantly change in abundance upon hypoxia,in most cases in a cell type-specific manner.In summary,we present a comparative circRNA profiling in human cancer cell lines,which promises novel insights into the biogenesis and function of circRNAs under hypoxic stress. | Antonella Di Liddo Camila de Oliveira Freitas Machado Sandra Fischer Stefanie Ebersberger Andreas WHeumliller Julia EWeigand Michaela Muller-McNicoll Kathi Zarnack | 2019 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2019,11,10: | 3 |
| 7 | Sex-specific effects of Eugenia punicifolia extract on gastric ulcer healing in rats显示文摘AIM To evaluate the sex-specific effects of a hydroalcoholic extract from Eugenia punicifolia(HEEP) leaves on gastric ulcer healing.METHODS In this rat study involving males, intact(cycling) females, and ovariectomized females, gastric ulcers were induced using acetic acid. A vehicle, lansoprazole, or HEEP was administered for 14 d after ulcer induction. Body weight was monitored throughout the treatment period. At the end of treatment, the rats were euthanized and the following in vivo and in vitro investigations were performed: macroscopic examination of the lesion area and organ weights, biochemical analysis, zymography, and evaluation of protein expression levels. Additionally, the concentration-dependent effect of HEEP was evaluated in terms of subacute toxicity and cytotoxicity.RESULTS Compared to the vehicle, HEEP demonstrated a great healing capacity by substantially reducing the ulcerative lesion area in males(52.44%), intact females(85.22%), and ovariectomized females(65.47%), confirming that HEEP accelerates the healing of acetic acidinduced gastric lesions and suggesting that this effect is modulated by female sex hormones. The antiulcer effect of HEEP was mediated by prostaglandin E2 only in male rats. Overall, the beneficial effect of HEEP was the highest in intact females. Notably, HEEP promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(intact vs ovariectomized females) and decreased the expression of Caspase-8 and Bcl-2(intact female vs male or ovariectomized female). Additionally, HEEP enhanced fibroblast proliferation and migration into a wounded area in vitro, confirming its healing effect. Finally, no sign of subacute toxicity or cytotoxicity of HEEP was observed.CONCLUSION In gastric ulcers, HEEP-induced healing(modulated by female sex hormones; in males, mediated by prostaglandin) involves extracellular matrix remodeling, with gastric mucosa cell proliferation and migration. | Larissa Lucena Périco Vinícius Peixoto Rodrigues Rie Ohara Gabriela Bueno Vania Vasti Alfieri Nunes Raquel Cássia dos Santos Ana Carolina Lima Camargo Luis Antuio Justulin Joior Sérgio Faloni de Andrade Viviane Miranda Bispo Steimbach Luísa Mota da Silva Lúcia Regina Machado da Rocha Wagner Vilegas Catarina dos Santos Clélia Akiko Hiruma-Lima | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,38: | 3 |
| 8 | Treatment of high-grade dysplasia and intramucosal carcinoma using radiofrequency ablation or endoscopic mucosal resection + radiofrequency ablation: Meta-analysis and systematic review显示文摘BACKGROUND The progression of Barrett's esophagus(BE) to early esophageal carcinoma occurs sequentially; the metaplastic epithelium develops from a low-grade dysplasia to a high-grade dysplasia(HGD), resulting in early esophageal carcinoma and,eventually, invasive carcinoma. Endoscopic approaches including resection and ablation can be used in the treatment of this condition.AIM To compare the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) vs endoscopic mucosal resection(EMR) + RFA in the endoscopic treatment of HGD and intramucosal carcinoma.METHODS In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review included studies comparing the two endoscopic techniques(EMR + RFA and RFA alone) in the treatment of HGD and intramucosal carcinoma in patients with BE. Our analysis included studies involving adult patients of any age with BE with HGD or intramucosal carcinoma. The studies compared RFA and EMR + RFA methods were included regardless of randomization status.RESULTS The seven studies included in this review represent a total of 1950 patients, with742 in the EMR + RFA group and 1208 in the RFA alone group. The use of EMR +RFA was significantly more effective in the treatment of HGD [RD 0.35(0.15,0.56)] than was the use of RFA alone. The evaluated complications(stenosis,bleeding, and thoracic pain) were not significantly different between the two groups.CONCLUSION Endoscopic resection in combination with RFA is a safe and effective method in the treatment of HGD and intramucosal carcinoma, with higher rates of remission and no significant differences in complication rates when compared to the use of RFA alone. | Mileine Valente de Matos Alberto Machado da Ponte-Neto Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de Moura Ethan Dwane Maahs Dalton Marques Chaves Elisa Ryoka Baba Edson Ide Rubens Sallum Wanderley Marques Bernardo Eduardo Guimar?es Hourneaux de Moura | 2019 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2019,11,3: | 2 |
| 9 | 氮素改变辣椒初级代谢和薄壁组织厚度调控比叶面积研究显示文摘比叶面积(SLA)是影响植物光截获和光利用效率的关键性状,常常影响植物的生长和产量。SLA是解释不同植物在不同环境下生长差异的一个关键性状。光照和氮素供应都是决定SLA的重要因素。为了更好地了解辐照度和氮素对辣椒(Capsicum chinense)SLA的影响,研究对两个中国辣椒商品种(Biquinho和Habanero)的初级代谢产物和形态特征进行了分析。两种基因型辣椒的SLA随着遮阴而增加,但随氮供应量的增加而下降;在氮素供应由缺乏到充足的范围内Habanero品种的SLA表现稳定。相关分析表明,高氮供应导致SLA降低是因为氨基酸、蛋白质和淀粉含量的调节,从而影响叶片密度。此外,在中度缺氮到充足供氮范围内,两种基因型辣椒的SLA表现出响应差异,Biquinho和Habanero分别在栅栏和海绵状薄壁组织上表现出差异。总之,结果表明,SLA对氮供应的反应是由某些代谢物含量和依赖于基因型的影响叶片厚度及密度的薄壁组织变化平衡调节的。 | Lucas de ávila Silva Rebeca P.Omena-Garcia Jorge A.Condori-Apfata Paulo Mafra de Almeida Costa Natália Machado Silva Fábio M.Da Matta Agustin Zsogon Wagner L.Araújo Edgard A.de Toledo Picoli Ronan Sulpice Adriano Nunes-Nesi 沈凌峰 吉雪花(译) | 2021 | 辣椒杂志2021,,3: | 2 |
| 10 | Extramedullary plasmocytoma associated with a massive deposit of amyloid in the duodenum显示文摘We report a rare case of extramedullary plasmocytoma associated with a massive deposit of amyloid in the duodenum.A 72-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital presenting with a 3-mo history of epigastric pain, vomiting and weight loss.On computed tomography(CT) a wall thickening of the fourth part of the duodenum was observed.Multiple biopsies obtained from the lesion showed inflltration of plasma cells and lymphocytes, but they were not conclusive.The patient underwent resection of the lesion and, on histopathological examination, the lesion consisted of a dense and diffuse inflltrate of plasma cells and a few admixed lymphocytes with reactive follicles extending to the muscular propria.An extensive deposition of amyloid was also observed.Immunohistochemical stains revealed that a few plasmacytoid cells showed λ light chain staining, though most were κ light chain positive.These cells also were positive for CD138 and CD56 but negative for CD20 and CD79.The flndings were consistent with extramedullary plasmocytomaassociated with a massive deposit of amyloid in duodenum.A subsequent workup for multiple myeloma was completely negative.The patient showed no signs of local recurrence or dissemination of the disease after 12 mo follow-up.Because of the association of plasmocytoma and amyloidosis, the patient must be followed up because of the possible systemic involvement of the neoplasm and amyloidosis in future. | Fabiana Pirani Carneiro Maria de Nazareth Machado Sobreira Lívia Bravo Maia Alesso Cervantes Sartorelli Luiz Eduardo de Almeida Prado Franceschi Mauro Brito Brando Bárbara Wosnjuk Calaca Fernando Silva Lustosa Joo Vieira Lopes | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,28: | 2 |
| 11 | Parathyroid ultrasonography and bone metabolic profile of patients on dialysis with hyperparathyroidism显示文摘AIM To evaluate the parathyroid ultrasonography and define parameters that can predict poor response to treatment in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to renal failure.METHODS This cohort study evaluated 85 patients with chronic kidney disease stage V with parathyroid hormone levels above 800 pg/mL. All patients underwent ultrasonography of the parathyroids and the following parameters were analyzed: Demographic characteristics(etiology of chronic kidney disease, gender, age, dialysis vintage, vascular access, use of vitamin D), laboratory(calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase, bone alkaline phosphatase), and the occurrence of bone changes, cardiovascular events and death. The χ~2 test were used to compare proportions or the Fisher exact test for small sample frequencies. Student t-test was used to detect differences between the two groups regarding continuous variables.RESULTS Fifty-three patients(66.4%) had parathyroid nodules with higher levels of parathyroid hormone, calcium and phosphorus. Sixteen patients underwent parathyroidectomy and had higher levels of phosphorus and calcium × phosphorus product(P = 0.03 and P = 0.006, respectively). They also had lower mortality(32% vs 68%, P = 0.01) and lower incidence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events(27% vs 73%, P = 0.02). Calcium × phosphorus product above 55 mg^2/dL^2 [RR 1.48(1.06, 2.08), P = 0.03], presence of vascular calcification [1.33(1.01, 1.76), P = 0.015] and previous occurrence of vascular events [RR 2.25(1.27, 3.98), P < 0.001] were risk factors for mortality in this population. There was no association between the occurrence of nodules and mortality.CONCLUSION The identification of nodules at ultrasonography strengthens the indication for parathyroidectomy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to renal failure. | Cláudia Ribeiro Maria Goretti Moreira Guimaraes Penido Milena Maria Moreira Guimaraes Marcelo de Sousa Tavares Bruno das Neves Souza Anderson Ferreira Leite Leonardo Martins Caldeira de Deus Lucas Joséde Campos Machado | 2016 | World Journal of Nephrology2016,5,5: | 2 |
| 12 | Genetic ancestry analysis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients from Brazil and Portugal显示文摘AIM:To study the association between genetic ancestry,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) metabolic characteristics in two cohorts of patients,from Brazil and Portugal. METHODS:We included 131 subjects from Brazil [(n = 45 with simple steatosis(S. Steatosis) and n = 86 with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)] and 90 patients from Portugal(n = 66,S. Steatosis; n = 24,NASH). All patients had biopsy-proven NAFLD. In histologic evaluation NAFLD activity score was used to assess histology and more than 5 points defined NASH in this study. Patients were divided into two groups according to histology diagnosis:simple steatosis or non-alcoholic statohepatitis. Genetic ancestry was assessed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Seven ancestry informative markers(AT3-I/D,LPL,Sb19.3,APO,FYNull,PV92,and CKMM) with the greatest ethnicgeographical differential frequencies(≥ 48%) were used to define genetic ancestry. Data were analyzed using R PROJECTS software. Ancestry allele frequencies between groups were analyzed by GENEPOP onlineand the estimation of genetic ancestry contribution was evaluated by ADMIX-95 software. The 5% alpha-error was considered as significant(P < 0.05). RESULTS:In the Brazilian sample,NASH was significantly more frequent among the elderly patients with diabetes(NASH 56 ± 1.1 years old vs S. Steatosis 51 ± 1.5 years old,P = 3.7 x 10-9),dyslipidemia(NASH 63% vs S. Steatosis 37%,P = 0.009),higher fasting glucose levels(NASH 124 ± 5.2 vs S. Steatosis 106 ± 5.3,P = 0.001) and Homeostatic Model of Assessment index > 2.5 [NASH 5.3(70.8%) vs S. Steatosis 4.6(29.2%) P = 0.04]. In the Portuguese study population,dyslipidemia was present in all patients with NASH(P = 0.03) and hypertension was present in a larger percentage of subjects in the S. Steatosis group(P = 0.003,respectively). The genetic ancestry contribution among Brazilian and Portuguese individuals with NASH was similar to those with S. Steatosis from each cohort(Brazilian cohort:P = 0.75; Portuguese cohort:P = 0.97). Nonetheless,the genetic ancestry contribution of the Brazilian and Portuguese population were different,and a greater European and Amerindian ancestry contribution was detected in the Portuguese population while a higher African genetic ancestry contribution was observed in Brazilian population of both NASH and S. Steatosis groups.CONCLUSION:There was no difference between the genetic ancestry contribution among Brazilian and Portuguese individuals with NASH and S. Steatosis from each cohort. | Lourianne Nascimento Cavalcante Jose Tadeu Stefano Mariana V Machado Daniel F Mazo Fabiola Rabelo Kiyoko Abe Sandes Flair Jose Carrilho Helena Cortez-Pinto Andre Castro Lyra Claudia P de Oliveira | 2015 | World Journal of Hepatology2015,7,10: | 2 |

| 17 | Simultaneous follow-up of mouse colon lesions by colonoscopy and endoluminal ultrasound biomicroscopy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the potential use of colonoscopy and endoluminal ultrasonic biomicroscopy(eUBM)to track the progression of mouse colonic lesions.METHODS:Ten mice were treated with a single azoxy-methane intraperitoneal injection(week 1)followed by seven days of a dextran sulfate sodium treatment in their drinking water(week 2)to induce inflammationassociated colon tumors.eUBM was performed simultaneously with colonoscopy at weeks 13,17-20 and21.A 3.6-F diameter 40 MHz mini-probe catheter was used for eUBM imaging.The ultrasound mini-probe catheter was inserted into the accessory channel of a pediatric flexible bronchofiberscope,allowing simultaneous acquisition of colonoscopic and eUBM images.During image acquisition,the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and kept in a supine position over a stainless steel heated surgical waterbed at 37℃.Both eUBM and colonoscopic images were captured and stored when a lesion was detected by colonoscopy or when the eUBM image revealed a modified colon wall anatomy.During the procedure,the colon was irrigated with water that was injected through a flush port on the mini-probe catheter and that acted as the ultrasound coupling medium between the transducer and the colon wall.Once the acquisition of the last eUBM/colonoscopy section for each animal was completed,the colons were fixed,paraffin-embedded,and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.Colon images acquired at the first time-point for each mouse were compared with subsequent eUBM/colonoscopic images of the same sites obtained in the following acquisitions to evaluate lesion progression.RESULTS:All 10 mice had eUBM and colonoscopic images acquired at week 13(the first time-point).Two animals died immediately after the first imaging acquisition and,consequently,only 8 mice were subjected to the second eUBM/colonoscopy imaging acquisition(at the second time-point).Due to the advanced stage of colonic tumorigenesis,5 animals died after the second time-point image acquisition,and thus,only three were subjected to the third eUBM/colonoscopy imaging acquisition(the third time-point).eUBM was able to detect the four layers in healthy segments of colon:the mucosa(the first hyperechoic layer moving away from the mini-probe axis),followed by the muscularis mucosae(hypoechoic),the submucosa(the second hyperechoic layer)and the muscularis externa(the second hypoechoic layer).Hypoechoic regions between the mucosa and the muscularis externa layers represented lymphoid infiltrates,as confirmed by the corresponding histological images.Pedunculated tumors were represented by hyperechoic masses in the mucosa layer.Among the lesions that decreased in size between the first and third time-points,one of the lesions changed from a mucosal hyperplasia with ulceration at the top to a mucosal hyperplasia with lymphoid infiltrate and,finally,to small signs of mucosal hyperplasia and lymphoid infiltrate.In this case,while lesion regression and modification were observable in the eUBM images,colonoscopy was only able to detect the lesion at the first and second time-points,without the capacity to demonstrate the presence of lymphoid infiltrate.Regarding the lesions that increased in size,one of them started as a small elevation in the mucosa layer and progressed to a pedunculated tumor.In this case,while eUBM imaging revealed the lesion at the first time-point,colonoscopy was only able to detect it at the second time-point.All colonic lesions(tumors,lymphoid infiltrate and mucosal thickening)were identified by eUBM,while colonoscopy identified just76%of them.Colonoscopy identified all of the colonic tumors but failed to diagnose lymphoid infiltrates and increased mucosal thickness and failed to differentiate lymphoid infiltrates from small adenomas.During the observation period,most of the lesions(approximately67%)increased in size,approximately 14%remained unchanged,and 19%regressed.CONCLUSION:Combining eUBM with colonoscopy improves the diagnosis and the follow-up of mouse colonic lesions,adding transmural assessment of the bowel wall. | Rossana C Soletti Kelly Z Alves Marcelo AP de Britto Dyanna G de Matos Mnica Soldan Helena L Borges Joo C Machado | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,44: | 1 |
