1Comparative study of outcomes following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in morbidly obese patients: A case control study显示文摘AIM To compare the impact of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy(LSG) on weight loss and obesity related comorbidities over two year follow-up via case control study design.METHODS Forty patients undergoing LRYGB, who completed their two year follow-up were matched with 40 patients undergoing LSG for age, gender, body mass index and presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Data of these patients was retrospectively reviewed to compare the outcome in terms of weight loss and improvement in comorbidities, i.e., T2 DM, hypertension(HTN), obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS), hypothyroidism and gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).RESULTS Percentage excess weight loss(EWL%) was similar in LRYGB and LSG groups at one year follow-up(70.5% vs 66.5%, P = 0.36) while it was significantly greater for LRYGB group after two years as compared to LSG group(76.5% vs 67.9%, P = 0.04). The complication rate after LRYGB and LSG was similar(10% vs 7.5%,P = 0.99). The median duration of T2 DM and mean number of oral hypoglycemic agents were higher in LRYGB group than LSG group(7 years vs 5 years and 2.2 vs 1.8 respectively, P < 0.05). Both LRYGB and LSG had significant but similar improvement in T2 DM, HTN, OSAS and hypothyroidism. However, GERD resolved in all patients undergoing LRYGB while it resolved in only 50% cases with LSG. Eight point three percent patients developed new-onset GERD after LSG.CONCLUSION LRYGB has better outcomes in terms of weight loss two years after surgery as compared to LSG. The impact of LRYGB and LSG on T2 DM, HTN, OSAS and hypothyroidism is similar. However, LRYGB has significant resolution of GERD as compared to LSG.Harshit Garg Pratyusha Priyadarshini Sandeep Aggarwal Samagra Agarwal Rachna Chaudhary 2017World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2017,9,4:7
2Hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of Bombax ceiba flowers against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats显示文摘Aim:The flowers of Bombax ceiba are traditionally used as home remedy in the treatment of jaundice and spleen enlargement.The present work investigated the effect of aqueous extract of flowers of Bombax ceiba(BCAE)on experimentally induced hepatotoxicity in rats to substantiate its traditional use as hepatoprotective agent.Methods:Hepatotoxicity was induced in rats by carbon tetrachloride(CCl_(4))treatment;at the same time vehicle or BCAE(250 or 500 mg/kg)or silymarin(25 mg/kg)were administered daily orally for seven days.Hepatotoxicity was assessed by estimating the activities of marker enzymes and by histological studies.The antioxidant effect of BCAE was assessed by measuring amount of antioxidant phytochemicals(total phenolics and flavonoids),and DPPH free radical scavenging assay of the extract.Results:BCAE treatment significantly prevented the CCl_(4)-induced elevations in levels of glutamate oxaloacatate transaminase,glutamic pyruvic transaminase,alkaline phosphatase,bilirubin,and triglycerides,and decreased the total protein levels.Treatment with BCAE attenuated the CCl_(4)-induced cytotoxic damage to liver.BCAE exhibited presence of antioxidant phytochemicals and showed scavanging action on DPPH radicals.The hepatoprotective effect of BCAE was comparable to that of the standard antioxidant hepatoprotective agent,silymarin.These findings indicated that BCAE showed hepatoprotective effect against CCl_(4)-induced hepatotoxicity and exhibited in vitro antioxidant effects.Conclusion:Bombax ceiba flowers exhibited hepatoprotective effect which may be attributed to antioxidant potential.This study also validated their traditional medicinal use in liver disorders.Manish M.Wanjari Rachna Gangoria Yadu Nandan Dey Sudesh N.Gaidhani Narendra K.Pandey Ankush D.Jadhav 2016Hepatoma Research2016,2,1:3
3Evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants and low molecular weight heparin in gastrointestinal cancer-associated venous thromboembolism显示文摘BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal cancer(GICA)is associated with a higher incidence of venous thromboembolism(VTE)compared to other solid tumors,moreover,recurrent VTE and major bleeding(MB)complications during anticoagulation treatment have an associated increase rate.GICA-VTE remains a challenging clinical scenario with MB concerns for utilization of direct oral anticoagulants(DOAC),especially with active cancer therapies.AIM To evaluate patient risk factors,effectiveness(VTE)and safety(MB)of DOACs and low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)in patients with active GICA-VTE.METHODS A retrospective chart review of patients receiving DOACs and LMWH with GICA and symptomatic or incidental VTE treated at comprehensive cancer center from November 2013 to February 2017 was performed.Inclusion criteria included active GI cancer diagnosed at any stage or treatment+/-6 mo of VTE diagnosis,whom were prescribed 6 mo or more of DOACs or LMWH.The Chi-squared test was used for overall and the Fisher exact test for pairwise comparisons of the proportions of patients experiencing recurrent VTE and MB events.Odds ratios were used to compare the relative odds of the occurrence of the outcome given exposure to the risk factor.RESULTS A total of 144 patients were prescribed anticoagulation,in which 106 fulfilled inclusion criteria apixaban(27.3%),rivaroxaban(34.9%)and enoxaparin(37.7%),and 38 were excluded.Patients median age was 66.5 years at GICA diagnosis and 67 years at CAVTE event,with 62%males,80%Caucasian,70%stage IV,pancreatic cancer(40.5%),30%Khorana Score(≥3 points),and 43.5%on active chemotherapy.Sixty-four percent of patients completed anticoagulation therapy(range 1 to 43 mo).Recurrent VTE at 6 mo was noted in 7.5%(n=3),6.8%(n=2)and 2.7%(n=1)of patients on enoxaparin,apixaban and rivaroxaban,respectively(all P=NS).MB at 6 mo were 5%(n=2)for enoxaparin,6.8%(n=2)for apixaban and 21.6%(n=8)for rivaroxaban(overall P=0.048;vs LMWH P=0.0423;all other P=NS).Significant predictors of a primary or secondary outcome for all anticoagulation therapies included:Active systemic treatment(OR=5.1,95%CI:1.3-19.3),high Khorana Score[≥3 points](OR=5.5,95%CI:1.7-17.1),active smoker(OR=6.7,95%CI:2.1-21.0),pancreatic cancer(OR=6.8,95%CI:1.9-23.2),and stage IV disease(OR=9.9,95%CI:1.2-79.1).CONCLUSION Rivaroxaban compared to apixaban and enoxaparin had a significantly higher risk of MB on GICA-VTE patients with equivocal efficacy.Alejandro Recio-Boiles Sumana Veeravelli Jessica Vondrak Hani M Babiker Aaron J Scott Rachna T Shroff Hitendra Patel Emad Elquza Ali McBride 2019World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2019,11,10:3
4Cholangiocarcinoma: a review of the literature and future directions in therapy显示文摘Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are a group of rare cancers with an incidence of about 1.26 per 100,000 people. The disease reflects one of three different subtypes: intrahepatic, perihilar or hilar and distal cholangiocarcinoma. The preferred modality of definitive therapy is surgical resection with or without adjuvant therapy, however the majority of patients with this disease do not present at an early stage. Some efforts to improve survival rates have come in the form of offering neoadjuvant therapy prior to surgical resection or liver transplantation. Some new protocols are in the process of development for neoadjuvant therapy. Despite advancements in locally advanced or borderline resectable lesions, most patient present at an advanced stage. The mainstay of treatment for advanced stage disease is chemotherapy regardless of location. The mainstay of treatment in fit patients is the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin. The addition of nab-paclitaxel to this backbone is currently being evaluated in phase III trial. In addition, the role of targeted therapy is currently being studied extensively through multiple different mutational pathways including isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1), fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERBB2 (HER2/neu). CCA remains a significant challenge in medicine, however recent studies have shown that there is significant interest in advancing therapy in the form of neoadjuvant, adjuvant and palliative intent treatment.Ritika Halder Akshay Amaraneni Rachna T.Shroff 2022Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2022,11,4:2

6Novel biomarkers and the future of targeted therapies in cholangiocarcinoma:a narrative review显示文摘Background and Objectives:Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly aggressive and heterogenous group of biliary malignancies arising from any site in the biliary tree,comprising 15%of all primary liver cancers.The nature of the disease and nonspecific presentation leads to late diagnosis and ultimately poor outcomes for patients.Combination gemcitabine and cisplatin has been the standard of care for cholangiocarcinoma(CCA)since 2010,with a median overall survival of 11.7 months.The five-year survival for CCA remains 5-10%,revealing a clear need for improved treatment options.Methods:This targeted review highlights the role of next generation sequencing in CCA and the clinically relevant tumor biomarkers that have become the focus of therapeutic development.Key Content and Findings:These tumor biomarkers or actionable mutations hold the potential to enable earlier diagnosis,provide prognostic information,and guide treatment decisions for patients with CCA.Specifically,the FGFR2 fusion and IDH1 mutation have shown considerable promise in development of targeted therapies.Clinical trials with inhibitors targeting FGFR2 fusion and IDH1 mutation have created expectations that these drugs will soon enter clinical practice.Other biomarkers including KRAS and B-raf protooncogenes,Her2/neu genes,and BRCA1 and 2 tumor-suppressor genes have also been touted as potential targets for future therapies,with early data showing promise for new drug development.Conclusions:The discovery of these actionable mutations and identification of targeted therapies have challenged the notion of a“one-size fits all”for treatment of CCA,and generated optimism that these novel treatments will soon be available for patients with CCA.Nishant Munugala Shishir K.Maithel Rachna T.Shroff 2022Hepatobiliary Surgery and Nutrition2022,11,2:2
7A rabbit model of non- cirrhotic portal hypertension by repeated injections of E. coli through indwelling cannulation of the gastrosplenic vein显示文摘BACKGROUND: Non-cirrhotic portal hypertension is acommon cause of portal hypertension in developing coun-tries. To understand its etiopathogenesis we developed ananimal model by repeated portal endotoxemia inducedthrough the gastrosplenic vein.METHODS: Twenty-nine rabbits (1.5-2.0 kg) were divid-ed into control (group n = 13) and experimental ( groupn = 16) groups. Heat killed E. coli were injected throughan indwelling cannula into the gastrosplenic vein in pre-sensitized animals. The animals were sacriflced at 1, 3 and6 months.RESULTS: The mean portal pressure in group animalswas significantly (P < 0. 05) higher than in group at 1(17.5 ±3.4 vs 10.4±2.2 mmHg), 3 (17.8±1.3 vs7.2 +3.6mmHg), and 6 (19.8±3.1 vs 10.3±4.8 mmHg) months.Similarly, the mean splenic weight in group was signifi-cantly greater than in group (P <0.05). Histopathologi-cally, the spleen showed medullary congestion, hemosid-rin-laden macrophages and mild fibrosis. Histologically,the liver had normal parenchyma with mild portal lympho-cytic infiltrates and kupffer cell hyperplasia. No significantanomalies were detected by liver function tests.CONCLUSIONS: The rabbit model showed significantsplenomegaly with a persistent increase in portal pressureand mild fibrosis without hepatic parenchymal injury, quiteakin to non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis as seen in humans. Re-current intra-abdominal infection may play an importantrole in the pathogenesis of non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis.Swati Omanwar Moattar R. Rizvi Rachna Kathayat Brij K. Sharma Giryesh K.
