| 1 | Portal vein thrombosis:Insight into physiopathology,diagnosis,and treatment显示文摘Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a relatively common complication in patients with liver cirrhosis, but might also occur in absence of an overt liver disease. Several causes, either local or systemic, might play an important role in PVT pathogenesis. Frequently, more than one risk factor could be identified; however, occasionally no single factor is discernable. Clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and imaging are helpful to provide a quick diagnosis, as prompt treatment might greatly affect a patient's outcome. In this review, we analyze the physiopathological mechanisms of PVT development, together with the hemodynamic and functional alterations related to this condition. Moreover, we describe the principal factors most frequently involved in PVT development and the recent knowledge concerning diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Finally, we analyze the implications of PVT in the setting of liver transplantation and its possible influence on patients' future prognoses. | Francesca R Ponziani Maria A Zocco Chiara Campanale Emanuele Rinninella Annalisa Tortora Luca Di Maurizio Giuseppe Bombardieri Raimondo De Cristofaro Anna M De Gaetano Raffaele Landolfi Antonio Gasbarrini | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,2: | 75 |
| 2 | Primary hepatic carcinoid:A case report and literature review显示文摘Carcinoids are tumors derived from neuroendocrine cells and often produce functional peptide hormones.Approximately 54.5% arise in the gastrointestinal tract and frequently metastasize to the liver.Primary hepatic carcinoid tumors(PHCT) are extremely rare;only 95 cases have been reported.A 65-year-old man came to our attention due to occasional ultrasound findings in absence of clinical manifestations.His previous medical history,since 2003,included an echotomography of the dishomogeneous parenchymal area but no focal lesions.A computed tomography scan performed in 2005 showed an enhanced pseudonodular-like lesion of about 2 cm.Cholangio-magnetic resonance imaging identified the lesion as a possible cholangiocarcinoma.No positive findings were obtained with positron emission tomography.Histology suggested a secondary localization in the liver caused by a low-grade malignant neuroendocrine tumor.Immunohistochemistry was positive for anti chromogranin antibodies,Ki67 antibodies and synaptophysin.Octreoscan scintigraphy indicated intense activity in the lesion.Endoscopic investigations were performed to exclude the presence of extrahepatic neoplasms.Diagnosis of PHCT was established.The patient underwent left hepatectomy,followed by hormone therapy with sandostatine LAR.Two months after surgery he had a lymph nodal relapse along the celiac trunk and caudate lobe,which was histologically confirmed.The postoperative clinical course was uneventful,with a negative follow-up for hematochemical,clinical and radiological investigations at 18 mo post-surgery.Diagnosis of PHCT is based principally on the histopathological confi rmation of a carcinoid tumor and the exclusion of a non-hepatic primary tumor.Surgical resection is the recommended primary treatment for PHCT.Recurrence rate and survival rate in patients treated with resection were 18% and 74%,respectively. | Luigi Maria Fenoglio Sara Severini Domenico Ferrigno Giovanni Gollè Cristina Serraino Christian Bracco Elisabetta Castagna Chiara Brignone Fulvio Pomero Elena Migliore Ezio David Mauro Salizzoni | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,19: | 14 |
| 3 | Endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging for re-staging rectal cancer after radiotherapy显示文摘AIM:To compare the sensitivity and specificity of two imaging techniques,endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),in patients with rectal cancer after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy. And we compared EUS and MRI data with histological fi ndings from surgical specimens. METHODS:Thirty-nine consecutive patients (51.3% Male; mean age:68.2 ± 8.9 years) with histologically confirmed distal rectal cancer were examined for staging. All patients underwent EUS and MRI imaging before and after neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy. RESULTS:After neoadjuvant chemoradiation,EUS and MRI correctly classified 46% (18/39) and 44% (17/39) of patients,respectively,in line with their histological T stage (P > 0.05). These proportions were higher for both techniques when nodal involvement was considered:69% (27/39) and 62% (24/39). When patients were sorted into T and N subgroups,the diagnostic accuracy of EUS was better than MRI for patients withT0-T2 (44% vs 33%,P > 0.05) and N0 disease (87% vs 52%,P = 0.013). However,MRI was more accurate than EUS in T and N staging for patients with more advanced disease after radiotherapy,though these differences did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSION:EUS and MRI are accurate imaging techniques for staging rectal cancer. However,after neoadjuvant RT-CT,the role of both methods in the assessment of residual rectal tumors remains uncertain. | Gianni Mezzi Paolo Giorgio Arcidiacono Silvia Carrara Francesco Perri Maria Chiara Petrone Francesco De Cobelli Simone Gusmini Carlo Staudacher Alessandro Del Maschio Pier Alberto Testoni | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,44: | 9 |
| 4 | Clinical significance of NOD2/CARD15 and Toll-like receptor 4 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms in inflammatory bowel disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), we investigated the single nucleotide poly- morphisms (SNPs) of NOD2/CARD15 (R702W, G908R and L1007fi nsC), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes (D299G and T399I) in a selected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population coming from Southern Italy. METHODS: Allele and genotype frequencies of NOD2/ CARD15 (R702W, G908R and L1007finsC) and TLR4 (D299G and T399I) SNPs were examined in 133 CD pa-tients, in 45 UC patients, and in 103 healthy controls. A genotype-phenotype correlation was performed. RESULTS: NOD2/CARD15 R702W mutation was sig-nificantly more frequent in CD (9.8%) than in controls (2.4%, P = 0.001) and in UC (2.3%, P = 0.03). No sig-nificant difference was found between UC patients and control group (P > 0.05). In CD and UC patients, no signifi cant association with G908R variant was found. L1007f insC SNP showed an association with CD (9.8%) compared with controls (2.9%, P = 0.002) and UC patients (2.3%, P = 0.01). Moreover, in CD patients, G908R and L1007finsC mutations were significantly associated with different phenotypes compared to CD wild-type patients. No association of IBD with the TLR4 SNPs was found in either cohort (allele frequencies: D299G-controls 3.9%, CD 3.7%, UC 3.4%, P > 0.05; T399I-controls 2.9%, CD 3.0%, UC 3.4%, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings confirm that, in our IBD patients selected from Southern Italy, the NOD2/ CARD15, but not TLR4 SNPs, are associated with in-creased risk of CD. | Luciana Rigoli Claudio Romano Rosario Alberto Caruso Maria A Lo Presti Chiara Di Bella Vincenzo Procopio Giuseppina Lo Giudice Maria Amorini Giuseppe Costantino Maria D Sergi Caterina Cuppari Giovanna Elisa Calabrò Romina Gallizzi Carmelo Damiano Salpietro Walter Fries | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,28: | 8 |
| 5 | Endoscopic ultrasonography for evaluating patients with recurrent pancreatitis显示文摘Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) is still a complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in clinical practice. In up to 30% of cases of ARP, it is not possible to establish the etiology of the disease. In the other 70%, many factors play an etiological role in ARP: microlithiasis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD), pancreas divisum, hereditary pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, a choledochocele, annular pancreas, an anomalous pancreatobiliary junction, pancreatic tumors or chronic pancreatitis are diagnosed. EUS should be useful in ARP as it is sensitive for diagnosing bile duct stones, gallbladder sludge, pancreatic lesions, ductal abnormalities and chronic pancreatitis. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) appears to be diagnostic in the majority of patients with previously unexplained pancreatitis, and offers an alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) as the initial diagnostic test in patients with ARP. | Maria Chiara Petrone Paolo G Arcidiacono Pier Alberto Testoni | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,7: | 7 |
| 6 | Regression of liver metastases of occult carcinoid tumor with slow release Lanreotide therapy显示文摘Few clinical studies have demonstrated an anti-proliferative activity of somatostatin (SST) analogs in carcinoids. We report the case of a woman with liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumor and no evidence of the primary tumor. The liver metastases were characterized by high proliferation indes, immunoreactiviy for somatostatin receptor (SSTR) -1,2,3 and 5and positive octreoscan. Urinary 5-hydrozyindolacetic acid, serum serotonin and chromogranin A were elevated. Slow release lanretoide (SR-LAN) therapy for 3 mo controlled clinical and biochemical signs of carcinoid tumor and caused a clear-cut reduction in the diameter of two liver metastases and disappearance of another lesion, with further reduction after 6 and 18 mo. We demonstrated a Clear-cut long-lasting antioccult carcinoid with high proliferation index and immunoreactivity for SSTR-1,2,3, and 5. Immunohistochemistry for SSTRs could be a suitable method for the selection of patients with metasatic carcinoid that may benefit from SST analog therapy. | Marta Bondanelli Maria Rosaria Ambrosio Maria Chiara Zatelli Luigi Cavazzini Laura Al Jandali Rifa'y Ettore C.degli Uberti | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,13: | 7 |
| 7 | Endoscopic ultrasonography findings in autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘Endoscopic ultrasonography is an established diagnostic tool for pancreatic masses and chronic pancreatitis.In recent years there has been a growing interest in the worldwide medical community in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP),a form of chronic pancreatitis caused by an autoimmune process.This paper reviews the current available literature about the endoscopic ultrasonographic findings of AIP and the role of this imaging technique in the management of this protean disease. | Elisabetta Buscarini Stefania De Lisi Paolo Giorgio Arcidiacono Maria Chiara Petrone Arnaldo Fuini Rita Conigliaro Guido Manfredi Raffaele Manta Dario Reggio Claudio De Angelis | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,16: | 6 |
| 8 | Inflammatory bowel diseases and human reproduction:A comprehensive evidence-based review显示文摘To evaluate the effects of inflammatory bowel diseases(IBDs)on human reproduction,we reviewed the current literature using a systematic search for published studies(articles and/or abstracts)without limits for English language.We searched on Medline(through PubMed),the Institute for Scientific Information,the Web of Science and the websites for the registration of controlled trials(http://controlled-trials.com/).Bibliographies of retrieved articles,books,expert opinion review articles and reviewed bibliographies from subject experts were manually searched.Titles and abstracts were screened initially,and potential relevant articles were identified and reviewed.Whenever possible,data were analyzed by comparing IBD patients vs healthy controls,and patients with active IBDs vs those with disease in remission.The effects of IBDs on female fertility,fertility in infertile couples,pregnancy and male infertility were examined separately.Patients with IBDs in remission have normal fertility.At the moment,there is no established guideline for the preservation of fertility in women with IBD undergoing surgery.Further data are needed regarding guidelines for the management of these patients.Data regarding IBDs and infertility are currently completely lacking.Considering the prevalence of intestinal pathology in young adults of childbearing age,this field is of great scientific and clinical interest,opening up important future perspectives.Another important and as yet unexplored point is the response to treatments for infertility in patients with IBDs.In particular,the question is whether the reproductive outcomes(clinical and biological)can be influenced by the IBD of one of the partners.The goals for successful reproductive outcomes in IBD population are correct counseling and disease remission.IBDs significantly affect several reproductive aspects of human(female,male,couple)reproduction.Further data are needed to develop guidelines for the clinical management of subjects of reproductive age with IBDs. | Stefano Palomba Giuliana Sereni Angela Falbo Marina Beltrami Silvia Lombardini Maria Chiara Boni Giovanni Fornaciari Romano Sassatelli Giovanni Battista La Sala | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,23: | 6 |

| 10 | Common features between neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the biliary tract and the pancreas显示文摘the bile duct system and pancreas show many similarities due to their anatomical proximity and common embryological origin.Consequently,preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the bile duct and pancreas share analogies in terms of molecular,histological and pathophysiological features.Intraepithelial neoplasms are reported in biliary tract,as biliary intraepithelial neoplasm(BilIN),and in pancreas,as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm(PanIN).Both can evolve to invasive carcinomas,respectively cholangiocarcinoma(CCA)and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC).Intraductal papillary neoplasms arise in biliary tract and pancreas.Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the biliary tract(IPNB)share common histologic and phenotypic features such as pancreatobiliary,gastric,intestinal and oncocytic types,and biological behavior with the pancreatic counterpart,the intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas(IPMN).All these neoplastic lesions exhibit similar immunohistochemical phenotypes,suggesting a common carcinogenic process.Indeed,CCA and PDAC display similar clinic-pathological features as growth pattern,poor response to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy and,as a consequence,an unfavorable prognosis.The objective of this review is to discuss similarities and differences between the neoplastic lesions of the pancreas and biliary tract with potential implications on a common origin from similar stem/progenitor cells. | Piera Zaccari Vincenzo Cardinale Carola Severi Federica Pedica Guido Carpino Eugenio Gaudio Claudio Doglioni Maria Chiara Petrone Domenico Alvaro Paolo Giorgio Arcidiacono Gabriele Capurso | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,31: | 6 |
| 11 | Hepatorenal syndrome: Update on diagnosis and treatment显示文摘Acute kidney injury(AKI) is a common complication in patients with end-stage liver disease and advanced cirrhosis regardless of the underlying cause. Hepatorenal syndrome(HRS), a functional form of kidney failure, is one of the many possible causes of AKI. HRS is potentially reversible but involves highly complex pathogenetic mechanisms and equally complex clinical and therapeutic management. Once HRS has developed, it has a very poor prognosis. This review focuses on the diagnostic approach to HRS and discusses the therapeutic protocols currently adopted in clinical practice. | Olga Baraldi Chiara Valentini Gabriele Donati Giorgia Comai Vania Cuna Irene Capelli Maria Laura Angelini Maria Ilaria Moretti Andrea Angeletti Fabio Piscaglia Gaetano La Manna | 2015 | World Journal of Nephrology2015,4,5: | 5 |
| 12 | Efficient RT-QuIC seeding activity for α-synuclein in olfactory mucosa samples of patients with Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy显示文摘Background:Parkinson’s disease(PD)is a neurodegenerative disorder whose diagnosis is often challenging because symptoms may overlap with neurodegenerative parkinsonisms.PD is characterized by intraneuronal accumulation of abnormalα-synuclein in brainstem while neurodegenerative parkinsonisms might be associated with accumulation of eitherα-synuclein,as in the case of Multiple System Atrophy(MSA)or tau,as in the case of Corticobasal Degeneration(CBD)and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy(PSP),in other disease-specific brain regions.Definite diagnosis of all these diseases can be formulated only neuropathologically by detection and localization ofα-synuclein or tau aggregates in the brain.Compelling evidence suggests that trace-amount of these proteins can appear in peripheral tissues,including receptor neurons of the olfactory mucosa(OM).Methods:We have set and standardized the experimental conditions to extend the ultrasensitive Real Time Quaking Induced Conversion(RT-QuIC)assay for OM analysis.In particular,by using human recombinantα-synuclein as substrate of reaction,we have assessed the ability of OM collected from patients with clinical diagnoses of PD and MSA to induceα-synuclein aggregation,and compared their seeding ability to that of OM samples collected from patients with clinical diagnoses of CBD and PSP.Results:Our results showed that a significant percentage of MSA and PD samples inducedα-synuclein aggregation with high efficiency,but also few samples of patients with the clinical diagnosis of CBD and PSP caused the same effect.Notably,the final RT-QuIC aggregates obtained from MSA and PD samples owned peculiar biochemical and morphological features potentially enabling their discrimination.Conclusions:Our study provide the proof-of-concept that olfactory mucosa samples collected from patients with PD and MSA possess important seeding activities forα-synuclein.Additional studies are required for(i)estimating sensitivity and specificity of the technique and for(ii)evaluating its application for the diagnosis of PD and neurodegenerative parkinsonisms.RT-QuIC analyses of OM and cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)can be combined with the aim of increasing the overall diagnostic accuracy of these diseases,especially in the early stages. | Chiara Maria Giulia De Luca Antonio Emanuele Elia Sara Maria Portaleone Federico Angelo Cazzaniga Martina Rossi Edoardo Bistaffa Elena De Cecco Joanna Narkiewicz Giulia Salzano Olga Carletta Luigi Romito Grazia Devigili Paola Soliveri Pietro Tiraboschi Giuseppe Legname Fabrizio Tagliavini Roberto Eleopra Giorgio Giaccone Fabio Moda | 2019 | Translational Neurodegeneration2019,8,1: | 5 |
| 13 | Potential of soluble CD26 as a serum marker for colorectal cancer detection显示文摘Colorectal cancer is characterized by a low survival rate even though the basis for colon cancer development,which involves the evolution of adenomas to carcinoma,is known.Moreover,the mortality rates continue to rise in economically transitioning countries although there is the opportunity to intervene in the natural history of the adenoma–cancer sequence through risk factors,screening,and treatment.Screening in particular accounted for most of the decline in colorectal cancer mortality achieved in the USA during the period 1975-2000.Patients show a better prognosis when the neoplasm is diagnosed early.Among the variety of screening strategies,the methods range from invasive and costly procedures such as colonoscopy to more low-cost and non-invasive tests such as the fecal occult blood test(guaiac and immunochemical).As a non-invasive biological serum marker would be of great benefit because of the performance of the test,several biomarkers,including cytologic assays,DNA and mRNA,and soluble proteins,have been studied.We found that the soluble CD26(sCD26)concentration is diminished in serum of colorectal cancer patients compared to healthy donors,suggesting the potential utility of a sCD26 immunochemical detection test for early diagnosis.sCD26 originates from plasma membrane CD26 lacking its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains.Some 90%–95%of sCD26 has been associated with serum dipeptidyl peptidase IV(DPPIV)activity.DPP-IV,assigned to the CD26 cluster,is a pleiotropic enzyme expressed mainly on epithelial cells and lymphocytes.Our studies intended to validate this test for population screening to detect colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas are reviewed here. | Oscar J Cordero Monica Imbernon Loretta De Chiara Vicenta S Martinez-Zorzano Daniel Ayude Maria Paez de la Cadena F Javier Rodriguez-Berrocal | 2011 | World Journal of Clinical Oncology2011,2,6: | 5 |
| 14 | Clinical features and natural history of cryptogenic cirrhosis compared to hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To characterize natural history of cryptogenic cirrhosis(CC) and compare its clinical features and outcomes to those of hepatitis C virus(HCV)-related cirrhosis.METHODS A prospective cohort of 102 consecutive patients at their first diagnosis of CC were enrolled in this study. The clinical data and outcomes were compared to an ageand Child-pugh class-matched cohort of 110 patients with HCV-related cirrhosis. Diagnosis of cirrhosis was based on compatible clinical and laboratory parameters, ultrasound/endoscopic parameters and, whenever possible, on histological grounds and transient elastography. All cases of cirrhosis without a definite etiology were enrolled in the CC group. The parameters assessed were:(1) severity of liver disease at the time of first diagnosis;(2) liver decompensation during follow-up;(3) hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC);(4) orthotopic liver transplantation; and(5) death. The independent associated factors were evaluated by multiple logistic regression analysis, and survival and its determinants by the Kaplan-Meier model, log-rank test and Cox regression.RESULTS At the first observation, median age was 66 and 65 years and male gender was 36% and 58% for CC and HCV cirrhosis, respectively. CC showed Child-pugh class A/B/C of 47%/31%/22%, respectively. Compared to HCV cirrhosis, CC exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome(12% vs 54%, respectively), overweight/obesity, high BMI, impaired glucose tolerance, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, cardiovascular diseases, extrahepatic cancer, and gallstones. Over a median period of 42 mo of follow-up, liver decompensation, HCC development and death for CC and HCV-related cirrhosis were 60.8%, and 54.4%, 16.7% and 17.2%, 39.2% and 30%, respectively. The median survival was 60 mo for CC. Independent predictors of death were age and Childpugh class at diagnosis. CC showed an approximately twofold higher incidence of HCC in Child-pugh class A.CONCLUSION Undiagnosed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has an etiologic role in CC that is associated with a poor prognosis, early HCC development, high risk of cardiovascular disease and extrahepatic cancer. | Luca Rinaldi Fabio Nascimbeni Mauro Giordano Chiara Masetti Barbara Guerrera Annalisa Amelia Maria Chiara Fascione Stefano Ballestri Dante Romagnoli Rosa Zampino Riccardo Nevola Enrica Baldelli Natalina Iuliano Valerio Rosato Amedeo Lonardo Luigi Elio Adinolfi | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,8: | 5 |

| 16 | Tumors and new endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapies显示文摘With the advent of linear echoendoscopes, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become more operative and a new field of oncological application has been opened up. From tumor staging to tissue acquisition under EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration, new operative procedures have been developed on the principle of the EUS-guided puncture. A hybrid probe combining radiofrequency with cryotechnology is now available, to be passed through the operative channel of the echoendoscope into the tumor to create an area of ablation. EUS-guided fine-needle injection is emerging as a method to deliver anti-tumoral agents inside the tumor. Ethanol lavage, with or without paclitaxel, has been proposed for the treatment of cystic tumors in non-resectable cases and complete resolution has been recorded in up to 70%-80%. Many other chemical or biological agents have been investigated for the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma: activated allogenic lymphocyte culture (Cytoimplant), a replication-deficient adenovirus vector carrying the tumor necrosis factor-α gene, or an oncolytic attenuated adenovirus (ONYX-015). The potential advantage of treatment under EUS control is the real-time imaging guidance into a deep target likethe pancreas which is extremely difficult to reach by a percutaneous approach. To date there are no randomized controlled trials to confirm the real clinical benefits of these treatments compared to standard therapy so it seems wise to reserve them only for experimental protocols approved by ethics committees. | Silvia Carrara Maria Chiara Petrone Pier Alberto Testoni Paolo Giorgio Arcidiacono | 2013 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2013,5,4: | 4 |
| 17 | Comparison of PM_(10) concentrations and metal content in three different sites of the Venice Lagoon: An analysis of possible aerosol sources显示文摘The Venice Lagoon is exposed to atmospheric pollutants from industrial activities, thermoelectric power plants, petrochemical plants, incinerator, domestic heating, ship traffic, glass factories and vehicular emissions on the mainland. In 2005, construction began on the mobile dams (MOSE), one dam for each channel connecting the lagoon to the Adriatic Sea as a barrier against high tide. These construction works could represent an additional source of pollutants. PM 10 samples were taken on random days between 2007 and 2010 at three different sites: Punta Sabbioni, Chioggia and Malamocco, located near the respective dam construction worksites. Chemical analyses of V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Mo, Cd, Sb, Tl and Pb in PM 10 samples were performed by Inductively coupled plasma-quadrupole mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS) and results were used to identify the main aerosol sources. The correlation of measured data with meteorology, and source apportionment, failed to highlight a contribution specifically associated to the emissions of the MOSE construction works. The comparison of the measurements at the three sites showed a substantial homogeneity of metal concentrations in the area. Source apportionment with principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) showed that a four principal factors model could describe the sources of metals in PM 10 . Three of them were assigned to specific sources in the area and one was characterised as a source of mixed origin (anthropogenic and crustal). A specific anthropogenic source of PM 10 rich in Ni and Cr, active at the Chioggia site, was also identified. | Daniele Contini Franco Belosi Andrea Gambaro Daniela Cesari Angela Maria Stortini Maria Chiara Bove | 2012 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2012,24,11: | 4 |

| 19 | Cytoskeleton reorganization and ultrastructural damage induced by gliadin in a three-dimensional in vitro model显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the interplay between gliadin and LoVo cells and the direct effect of gliadin on cytoskeletal patterns.METHODS: We treated LoVo multicellular spheroids with digested bread wheat gliadin in order to investigate their morphology and ultrastructure (by means of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy), and the effect of gliadin on actin (phalloidin fluorescence)and the tight-junction protein occludin and zonula occluden-1.RESULTS: The treated spheroids had deep holes and surface blebs, whereas the controls were smoothly surfaced ovoids. The incubation of LoVo spheroids with gliadin decreased the number of intracellular actin filaments, impaired and disassembled the integrity of the tight-junction system.CONCLUSION: Our data obtained from an 'in vivolike' polarized culture system confirm the direct noxious effect of gliadin on the cytoskeleton and tight junctions of epithelial cells. Unlike two-dimensional cell culture systems, the use of multicellular spheroids seems to provide a suitable model for studying cell-cell interactions. | Ersilia Dolfini Leda Roncoroni Luca Elli Chiara Fumagalli Roberto Colombo Simona Ramponi Fabio Forlani Maria Teresa Bardella | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,48: | 3 |
| 20 | Endoscopic ultrasound diagnostic gain over computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholang-iopancreatography in defining etiology of idiopathic acute pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND About 10%-30%of acute pancreatitis remain idiopathic(IAP)even after clinical and imaging tests,including abdominal ultrasound(US),contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CECT)and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP).This is a relevant issue,as up to 20%of patients with IAP have recurrent episodes and 26%of them develop chronic pancreatitis.Few data are available on the role of EUS in clarifying the etiology of IAP after failure of one or more cross-sectional techniques.AIM To evaluate the diagnostic gain after failure of one or more previous crosssectional exams.METHODS We retrospectively collected data about consecutive patients with AP and at least one negative test between US,CECT and MRCP,who underwent linear EUS between January 2017 and December 2020.We investigated the EUS diagnostic yield and the EUS diagnostic gain over different combinations of these crosssectional imaging techniques for the etiologic diagnosis of AP.Types and frequency of EUS diagnosis were also analyzed,and EUS diagnosis was compared with the clinical parameters.After EUS,patients were followed-up for a median of 31.5 mo to detect cases of pancreatitis recurrence.RESULTS We enrolled 81 patients(63%males,mean age 61±18,23%with previous cholecystectomy,17%with recurrent pancreatitis).Overall EUS diagnostic yield for AP etiological diagnosis was 79%(20%lithiasis,31%acute on chronic pancreatitis,14%pancreatic solid or cystic lesions,5%pancreas divisum,5%autoimmune pancreatitis,5%ductal abnormalities),while 21%remained idiopathic.US,CECT and MRCP,taken alone or in combination,led to AP etiological diagnosis in 16(20%)patients;among the remaining 65 patients,49(75%)obtained a diagnosis at EUS,with an overall EUS diagnostic gain of 61%.Sixty-eight patients had negative US;among them,EUS allowed etiological diagnosis in 59(87%).Sixty-three patients had a negative CECT;among them,47(74%)obtained diagnosis with EUS.Twenty-four had a negative MRCP;among them,20(83%)had EUS diagnosis.Twenty-one had negative CT+MRCP,of which 17(81%)had EUS diagnosis,with a EUS diagnostic gain of 63%.Patients with biliary etiology and without previous cholecystectomy had higher median values of alanine aminotransferase(154 vs 25,P=0.010),aspartate aminotransferase(95 vs 29,P=0.018),direct bilirubin(1.2 vs 0.6,P=0.015),gammaglutamyl transpeptidase(180 vs 48,P=0.006)and alkaline phosphatase(150 vs 72,P=0.015)Chronic pancreatitis diagnosis was more frequent in patients with recurrent pancreatitis at baseline(82%vs 21%,P<0.001).During the follow-up,AP recurred in 3 patients,one of which remained idiopathic.CONCLUSION EUS is a good test to define AP etiology.It showed a 63%diagnostic gain over CECT+MRCP.In suitable patients,EUS should always be performed in cases of IAP.Further prospective studies are needed. | Stefano Mazza Biagio Elvo Clara Benedetta Conti Andrea Drago Maria Chiara Verga Sara Soro Annalisa De Silvestri Fabrizio Cereatti Roberto Grassia | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2022,14,6: | 3 |
