| 1 | Blockade of high mobility group box-1 protein attenuates experimental severe acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To examine the effects of anti-high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) neutralizing antibody in experimental se-vere acute pancreatitis (SAP).METHODS: SAP was induced by creating closed duode-nal loop in C3H/HeN mice. SAP was induced immediately after intraperitoneal injection of anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody (200 μg). Severity of pancreatitis, organ injury (liver, kidney and lung), and bacterial translocation to pancreas was examined 12 h after induction of SAP.RESULTS: Anti-HMGB1 neutralizing antibody significant-ly improved the elevation of the serum amylase level and the histological alterations of pancreas and lung in SAP. Anti-HMGB1 antibody also significantly ameliorated the elevations of serum alanine aminotransferase and cre-atinine in SAP. However, anti-HMGB1 antibody worsened the bacterial translocation to pancreas.CONCLUSION: Blockade of HMGB1 attenuated the development of SAP and associated organ dysfunction, suggesting that HMGB1 may act as a key mediator for inflammatory response and organ injury in SAP. | Hidehiro Sawa Takashi Ueda Yoshifumi Takeyama Takeo Yasuda Makoto Shinzeki Takahiro Nakajima Yoshikazu Kuroda | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006，12，47： | 45 |
| 2 | A PERIODICALLY LOCALIZED TRAVELING WAVE STATE OF BINARY FLUID CONVECTION WITH HORIZONTAL FLOWS显示文摘In this paper, the convection structure in a rectangular channel with a horizontal flow was studied for the aspect ratio Γx=12 and the separation ratio ψ=-0.11. Our simulations were preformed by solving the hydrodynamic equations using the SIMPLE method. In the system of binary fluid convection with a horizontal flow, a Periodically Localized Traveling Wave (PLTW) state was found. It has similar behavior to classical Rayleigh-Benard convection in a binary fluid mixture, but the region and wave number of convection change periodically with time. The instability of PLTW depends on the Rayleigh number r and the intensity of horizontal flows Re for given ψ. Thus, the PLTW convection results from the competition between the horizontal flow and the counter-propagating wave near the onset of convection. | NING Li-zhong QI Xin HARADA Yoshifumi YAHATA Hideo | 2006 | Journal of Hydrodynamics2006，18，2： | 37 |
| 3 | Clinical features of gastroduodenal injury associated with long-term low-dose aspirin therapy显示文摘Low-dose aspirin(LDA) is clinically used for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events with the advent of an aging society.On the other hand,a very low dose of aspirin(10 mg daily) decreases the gastric mucosal prostaglandin levels and causes significant gastric mucosal damage.The incidence of LDAinduced gastrointestinal mucosal injury and bleeding has increased.It has been noticed that the incidence of LDA-induced gastrointestinal hemorrhage has increased more than that of non-aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID)-induced lesions.The pathogenesis related to inhibition of cyclooxygenase(COX)-1 includes reduced mucosal flow,reduced mucus and bicarbonate secretion,and impaired platelet aggregation.The pathogenesis related to inhibition of COX-2 involves reduced angiogenesis and increased leukocyte adherence.The pathogenic mechanisms related to direct epithelial damage are acid back diffusion and impaired platelet aggregation.The factors associated with an increased risk of upper gastrointestinal(GI) complications in subjects taking LDA are aspirin dose,history of ulcer or upper GI bleeding,age > 70 years,concomitant use of non-aspirin NSAIDs including COX-2-selective NSAIDs,and Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection.Moreover,no significant differences have been found between ulcer and non-ulcer groups in the frequency and severity of symptoms such as nausea,acid regurgitation,heartburn,and bloating.It has been shown that the ratios of ulcers located in the body,fundus and cardia are significantly higher in bleeding patients than the ratio of gastroduodenal ulcers in patients taking LDA.Proton pump inhibitors reduce the risk of developing gastric and duodenal ulcers.In contrast to NSAIDinduced gastrointestinal ulcers,a well-tolerated histamine H2-receptor antagonist is reportedly effective in prevention of LDA-induced gastrointestinal ulcers.The eradication of H.pylori is equivalent to treatment with omeprazole in preventing recurrent bleeding.Continuous aspirin therapy for patients with gastrointestinal bleeding may increase the risk of recurrent bleeding but potentially reduces the mortality rates,as stopping aspirin therapy is associated with higher mortality rates.It is very important to prevent LDA-induced gastroduodenal ulcer complications including bleeding,and every effort should be exercised to prevent the bleeding complications. | Junichi Iwamoto Yoshifumi Saito Akira Honda Yasushi Matsuzaki | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，11： | 29 |
| 4 | Criteria for the diagnosis and severity stratification of acute pancreatitis显示文摘Recent diagnostic and therapeutic progress for severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)remarkably decreased the casemortality rate.To further decrease the mortality rate of SAP,it is important to precisely evaluate the severity at an early stage,and initiate appropriate treatment as early as possible.Research Committee of Intractable Diseases of the Pancreas in Japan developed simpler criteria combining routinely available data with clinical signs.Severity can be evaluated by laboratory examinations or by clinical signs,reducing the defect values of the severity factors.Moreover,the severity criteria considered laboratory/clinical severity scores and contrastenhanced computed tomography(CE-CT)findings as independent risk factors.Thus,CE-CT scans are not necessarily required to evaluate the severity of acute pancreatitis.There was no fatal case in mild AP diagnosed by the CE-CT severity score,whereas case-mortality rate in those with SAP was 14.8%.Case-mortality of SAP that fulfilled both the laboratory/clinical and the CE-CT severity criteria was 30.8%.It is recommended,therefore,to perform CE-CT examination to clarify the prognosis in those patients who were diagnosed as SAP by laboratory/clinical severity criteria.Because the mortality rate of these patients with SAP is high,such patients should be transferred to advanced medical units. | Makoto Otsuki Kazunori Takeda Seiki Matsuno Yasuyuki Kihara Masaru Koizumi Masahiko Hirota Tetsuhide Ito Keisho Kataoka Motoji Kitagawa Kazuo Inui Yoshifumi Takeyama | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，35： | 24 |
| 5 | TRANSITION OF CONVECTIVE PATTERNS IN A RECTANGULAR CELL显示文摘In this paper our interest is focussed on the behavior in the transition of the Traveling Wave (TW) convective patterns along the nonlinear branch in a rectangular cell of Γ=12 for ψ=-0.11. Our numerical simulations were performed by solving the two-dimensional hydrodynamic equations using the SIMPLE method. Three types of convection patterns appearing in the nonlinear branch of the bifurcation diagram were observed. In particular, the undulation TW state in the rectangular cell was obtained, and the hysteresis in the transition from the TW State to the Stationary Overturning Convection (SOC) was verified. | Ning Li-zhong Institute of Hydraulic Engineering, Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an 710048, China Department of Engineering, Nitto Co.

| 6 | Useful detection of CD147 (EMMPRIN) for pathological diagnosis of early hepatocellular carcinoma in needle biopsy samples显示文摘AIM:To make clear whether CD147 (EMMPRIN) expression in pathological tumor samples with a fine-needle aspiration biopsy is useful for pathological diagnosis of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS:Twenty-two patients (15 men and 7 women; median age 68 years,range 56-81 years) underwent a liver tissue biopsy in order to make a diagnosis of HCC. Paraffin-embedded liver biopsy tissue samples from 22 patients were stained with anti-CD147 antibody,murine monoclonal antibody 12C3 (MAb12C3) for immunohistochemical analysis. An immunohistochemical analysis of CD147 was performed and the degree of staining compared between tumor and non-tumor tissue. In addition,the degree of staining within tumor tissue was compared according to a number of clinicopathological variables. RESULTS:The degree of staining of CD147 was significantly higher in tumor tissues than non-tumor tissues,even in tumors less than 15 mm in diameter.The expression of this protein was significantly elevated in HCC tissue specimens from patients with a low value of serum AST and γ-GTP. | Satoshi Mamori Keisuke Nagatsuma Tomokazu Matsuura Kiyoshi Ohkawa Hiroshi Hano Masaharu Fukunaga Masato Matsushima Yoshifumi Masui Nao Fushiya Hiroshi Onoda Yasuyuki Searashi Ichiro Takagi Hisao Tajiri | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007，13，21： | 20 |
| 7 | Continuous regional arterial infusion therapy with gabexate mesilate for severe acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effi cacy of continuous regional arterial infusion therapy (CRAI) with gabexate mesilate and antibiotics for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS: We conducted a prospective study on patients who developed SAP with or without CRAI. Out of 18 patients fulf illed clinical diagnostic criteria for SAP in Japan, 9 patients underwent CRAI, while 9 patients underwent conventional systemic protease inhibitor and antibiotics therapy (non-CRAI). CRAI was initiated within 72 h of the onset of pancreatitis. Gabexate mesilate (2400 mg/d) was continuously administered for 3 to 5 d. The clinical outcome including serum infl ammation-related parameters were examined. RESULTS: The duration of abdominal pain in the CRAI group was 1.9 ± 0.26 d, whereas that in the non-CRAI group was 4.3 ± 0.50. The duration of SIRS in the CRAI group was 2.2 ± 0.22 d, whereas that in the non- CRAI group was 3.2 ± 0.28. Abdominal pain and SIRS disappeared signifi cantly in a short period of time after the initiation of CRAI using gabexate mesilate. The average length of hospitalization signifi cantly differed between the CRAI and non-CRAI groups, 53.3 ± 7.9 d and 87.4 ± 13.9 d, respectively. During the first two weeks, levels of serum CRP and the IL6/IL10 ratio in the CRAI group tended to have a rapid decrease compared to those in the non-CRAI group. CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that CRAI using gabexate mesilate was effective against SAP. | Yoshifumi Ino Yoshiyuki Arita Tetsuro Akashi Toshinari Kimura Hisato Igarashi Takamasa Oono Masayuki Furukawa Ken Kawabe Keiichiro Ogoshi Jiro Ouchi Toshihiko Miyahara Ryoichi Takayanagi Tetsuhide Ito | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，41： | 20 |
| 8 | β-cell dysfunction: Its critical role in prevention and management of type 2 diabetes显示文摘Type 2 diabetes(T2DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Although, in contrast to type 1 diabetes, insulin resistance is assumed to be a major pathophysiological feature of T2 DM, T2 DM never develops unless β-cells fail to compensate insulin resistance. Recent studies have revealed that a deficit of β-cell functional mass is an essential component of the pathophysiology of T2 DM, implying that β-cell deficit is a common feature of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. β-cell dysfunction is present at the diagnosis of T2 DM and progressively worsens with disease duration. β-cell dysfunction is associated with worseningof glycemic control and treatment failure; thus, it is important to preserve or recover β-cell functional mass in the management of T2 DM. Since β-cell regenerative capacity appears somewhat limited in humans, reducing β-cell workload appears to be the most effective way to preserve β-cell functional mass to date, underpinning the importance of lifestyle modification and weight loss for the treatment and prevention of T2 DM. This review summarizes the current knowledge on β-cell functional mass in T2 DM and discusses the treatment strategy for T2 DM. | Yoshifumi Saisho | 2015 | World Journal of Diabetes2015，6，1： | 20 |
| 9 | Neoadjuvant treatment for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma显示文摘Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma are types of esophageal cancer, one of the most aggressive malignant diseases. Since both histological types present entirely different diseases with different epidemiology, pathogenesis and tumor biology, separate therapeutic strategies should be developed against each type. While surgical resection remains the dominant therapeutic intervention for patients with operable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC), alternative strategies are actively sought to reduce the frequency of post-operative local or distant disease recurrence. Such strategies are particularly sought in the preoperative setting. Currently, the optimal management of resectable ESCC differs widely between Western and Asian countries(such as Japan). While Western countries focus on neoadjuvant or definitive chemoradiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment in Japan. Importantly, each country and region has established its own therapeutic strategy from the results of local randomized control trials. This review discusses the current knowledge, available data and information regarding neoadjuvant treatment for operable ESCC. | Yoshifumi Baba Masayuki Watanabe Naoya Yoshida Hideo Baba | 2014 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2014，6，5： | 17 |
| 10 | Acute pancreatitis successfully diagnosed by diffusion-weighted imaging: A case report显示文摘Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is an established diagnostic method of acute stroke. The latest advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology have greatly expanded the utility of DWI in the examination of various organs. Recent studies have revealed the usefulness of DWI for imaging of the liver, kidney, ovary, and breast. We report a patient with acute pancreatitis detected by DWI and discussed the efficacy of DWI in diagnosing acute pancreatitis. A 50-year old man presented with a primary complaint of abdominal pain. We performed both DWI and computed tomography (CT) for this patient. The signal intensity in a series of DWI was measured and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were calculated to differentiate inflammation from normal tissue. Two experienced radiologists evaluated the grade of acute pancreatitis by comparing the CT findings. Initially, the pancreas and multiple ascites around the pancreas produced a bright signal and ADC values were reduced on DWI. As the inflammation decreased, the bright signal faded to an iso-signal and the ADC values returned to their normal level. There was no difference in the abilities of DWI and CT images to detect acute pancreatitis. However, our case indicates that DWI can evaluate the manifestations of acute pancreatitis using no enhancement material andhas the potential to replace CT as a primary diagnostic strategy for acute pancreatitis. | Satoshi Shinya Takamitsu Sasaki Yoshifumi Nakagawa Zhang Guiquing Fumio Yamamoto Yuichi Yamashita | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，35： | 16 |
| 11 | Diagnostic evaluation of acute pancreatitis in two patients with hypertriglyceridemia显示文摘We present two diagnostically challenging cases of acute pancreatitis with hypertriglyceridemia accompanied with chylomicronemia caused with a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase and with the presence of type V hyperlipidemia.Both cases suffered from acute abdomen following the ingestion of fatty food and revealed the increase in parameters of inflammation without significant elevation of serum amylase levels. The imaging examination of ultrasonography could not detect significant findings of acute pancreatitis and a computer tomography scan eventually confirmed the findings of acute pancreatitis. Both cases responded to a low fat diet and administration of a cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, exhibiting a relief of abdominal symptoms. As in the present cases with acute abdomen following the ingestion of fatty food, the identification of serum hypertriglyceridemia and an abdominal computer tomography scan might be useful in establishing the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and in developing the therapeutic regimen, when hypertriglyceridemia interferes with the evaluation of pancreatic enzyme activities and ultrasound examination provides poor pancreatic visualization. | Yoshifumi Okura KozoHayashi TetsujiShingu GoroKajiyama Yoshiyuki Nakashima Keijiro Saku | 2004 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2004，10，24： | 12 |
| 12 | Small-bowel mucosal injuries in low-dose aspirin users with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding显示文摘AIM: To investigate the clinical differences between small intestinal injuries in low-dose aspirin(LDA) users and in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(NSAID) users who were examined by capsule endoscopy(CE) for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding(OGIB). METHODS: A total of 181 patients who underwent CE for OGIB were included in this study. Based on clinical records, laboratory data such as hemoglobin levels, major symptoms, underlying diseases, the types and duration of LDA and NSAID use, and endoscopic characteristics of CE were reviewed.RESULTS: Out of a total of 45 cases of erosive lesions, 27 cases were taking LDA or NSAIDs(7 were on NSAIDs, 9 were on LDA alone, 9 were on LDA and thienopyridine, and 2 were on LDA and warfarin).The prevalence of ulcers or erosion during chronic use of LDA, LDA and the anti-platelet drug thienopyridine (clopidogrel or ticlopidine), and NSAIDs were 64.3%, 80.0%, and 75.0%, respectively. Erosive lesions were observed predominantly in chronic LDA users, while ulcerative lesions were detected mainly in NSAID users. However, concomitant use of thienopyridine such as clopidogrel with LDA increased the proportion of ulcers. The erosive lesions were located in the whole of the small intestine(jejunum and ileum), whereas ulcerative lesions were mainly observed in the ileum(P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our CE findings indicate that chronic LDA users and NSAID users show different types and locations of small-bowel mucosal injuries. The concomitant use of anti-platelet drugs with LDA tends to exacerbate the injuries from LDA-type to NSAID-type injuries. | Junichi Iwamoto Yuji Mizokami Yoshifumi Saito Koichi Shimokobe Akira Honda Tadashi Ikegami Yasushi Matsuzaki | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，36： | 9 |

| 14 | Clinical outcomes of ampullary neoplasms in resected margin positive or uncertain cases after endoscopic papillectomy显示文摘BACKGROUND Endoscopic papillectomy(EP) for benign ampullary neoplasms could be a lessinvasive alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy(PD). There are some problems and limitations with EP. The post-EP resection margins of ampullary tumors are often positive or uncertain because of the burning effect of EP. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP remain unknown.AIM To investigate the clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP.METHODS Between January 2007 and October 2018, all patients with ampullary tumors who underwent EP at Kobe University Hospital were included in this study. The indications for EP were as follows: adenoma, as determined by preoperative endoscopic biopsy, without bile/pancreatic duct extension, according to endoscopic ultrasound or intraductal ultrasound. The clinical outcomes of resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP were retrospectively investigated.RESULTS Of the 45 patients, 29 were male, and 16 were female. The mean age of the patients was 65 years old. Forty-one patients(89.5%) underwent en bloc resection,and 4 patients(10.5%) underwent piecemeal resection. After EP, 33 tumors were histopathologically diagnosed as adenoma, and 12 were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. The resected margins were positive or uncertain in 24 patients(53.3%). Of these cases, 15 and 9 were diagnosed as adenoma and adenocarcinoma, respectively. Follow-up observation was selected for all adenomas and 5 adenocarcinomas. In the remaining 4 adenocarcinoma cases,additional PD was performed. Additional PD was performed in 4 cases, and residual carcinoma was found after the additional PD in 1 of these cases. In the follow-up period, local tumor recurrence was detected in 3 cases. Two of these cases involved primary EP-diagnosed adenoma. The recurrent tumors were also adenomas detected by biopsy. The remaining case involved primary EPdiagnosed adenocarcinoma. The recurrent tumor was also an adenocarcinoma.All of the recurrent tumors were successfully treated with argon plasma coagulation(APC). There was no local or lymph node recurrence after the APC.The post-APC follow-up periods lasted for 57.1 to 133.8 mo. No ampullary tumor-related deaths occurred in all patients.CONCLUSION Resected margin positive or uncertain cases after EP could be managed by endoscopic treatment including APC, even in cases of adenocarcinoma. EP could become an effective less-invasive first-line treatment for early stage ampullary tumors. | Arata Sakai Masahiro Tsujimae Atsuhiro Masuda Takao Iemoto Shigeto Ashina Kohei Yamakawa Takeshi Tanaka Shunta Tanaka Yasutaka Yamada Ryota Nakano Yu Sato Manabu Kurosawa Takuya Ikegawa Seiji Fujigaki Takashi Kobayashi Hideyuki Shiomi Yoshifumi Arisaka Tomoo Itoh Yuzo Kodama | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，11： | 9 |
| 15 | Factors correlating with acoustic radiation force impulse elastography in chronic hepatitis C显示文摘AIM: To investigate the factors other than fibrosis stage correlating with acoustic radiation force impulse(ARFI) elastograpy in chronic hepatitis C. METHODS: ARFI elastograpy was performed in 108 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C who underwent a liver biopsy. The proportion of fibrosis area in the biopsy specimens was measured by computerassisted morphometric image analysis. RESULTS: ARFI correlated significantly with fibrosis stage(β = 0.1865, P < 0.0001) and hyaluronic acid levels(β = 0.0008, P = 0.0039) in all patients by multiple regression analysis. Fibrosis area correlated significantly with ARFI by Spearman's rank correlation test but not by multiple regression analysis. ARFI correlated significantly with body mass index(BMI)(β =-0.0334, P = 0.0001) in F 0 or F 1, with γ-glutamyltranspeptidase levels(β = 0.0048, P = 0.0012) in F 2, and with fibrosis stage(β = 0.2921, P = 0.0044) and hyaluronic acid levels(β = 0.0012, P = 0.0025) in F 3 or F 4. The ARFI cutoff value was 1.28 m/s for F ≥ 2, 1.44 m/s for F ≥ 3, and 1.73 m/s for F 4. CONCLUSION: ARFI correlated with fibrosis stage and hyaluronic acid but not with inflammation. ARFI was affected by BMI, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, and hyaluronic acid in each fibrosis stage. | Toru Nishikawa Senju Hashimoto Naoto Kawabe Masao Harata Yoshifumi Nitta Michihito Murao Takuji Nakano Yuko Mizuno Hiroaki Shimazaki Toshiki Kan Kazunori Nakaoka Yuka Takagawa Masashi Ohki Naohiro Ichino Keisuke Osakabe Kentaro Yoshioka | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，5： | 7 |
| 16 | A new index for non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis显示文摘AIM:To construct and evaluate a new non-invasive fibrosis index for assessment of the stage of liver f ibrosis. METHODS:A new f ibrosis index (Fibro-Stiffness index) was developed in 165 of 285 patients with chronic hepatitis C, and was validated in the other 120 patients where liver biopsy was performed. Its usefulness was compared with liver stiffness (LS) measured by FibroScan, the aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index, the Forns index and the FibroIndex. RESULTS: The Fibro-Stiffness index consists of LS,platelet count and prothrombin time. The values of the Fibro-Stiffness index differed signif icantly between neighboring f ibrosis stages except F0-F1. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curves of the Fibro-Stiffness index for prediction of F≥2 (0.90), F≥ 3 (0.90) and F= 4(0.92) in the estimation group and those for F≥ 3 (0.93) and F =4 (0.97) in the validation group were the highest among the 5 methods examined. The accuracy of the Fibro-Stiffness index had highest values for F≥2, F≥3 and F=4 in both the estimation and validation groups. The diagnostic performance for F= 4 was improved by a combination of the Fibro-Stiffness index with serum hyaluronic acid level. CONCLUSION: The Fibro-Stiffness index was constructed and validated. It showed superior diagnostic performance to other indices for F ≥ 2,3 and 4. | Naohiro Ichino Keisuke Osakabe Toru Nishikawa Hiroko Sugiyama Miho Kato Shiho Kitahara Senju Hashimoto Naoto Kawabe Masao Harata Yoshifumi Nitta Michihito Murao Takuji Nakano Yuko Arima Hiroaki Shimazaki Koji Suzuki Kentaro Yoshioka | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，38： | 7 |
| 17 | Usefulness of urinary trypsinogen-2 and trypsinogen activation peptide in acute pancreatitis:A multicenter study in Japan显示文摘BACKGROUND Rapid urinary trypsinogen-2 dipstick test and levels of urinary trypsinogen-2 and trypsinogen activation peptide(TAP) concentration have been reported as prognostic markers for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.AIM To reconfirm the validity of all these markers in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis by undertaking a multi-center study in Japan.METHODS Patients with acute abdominal pain were recruited from 17 medical institutions in Japan from April 2009 to December 2012. Urinary and serum samples were collected twice, at enrollment and on the following day for measuring target markers. The diagnosis and severity assessment of acute pancreatitis were assessed based on prognostic factors and computed tomography(CT) Grade of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare criteria.RESULTS A total of 94 patients were enrolled during the study period. The trypsinogen-2 dipstick test was positive in 57 of 78 patients with acute pancreatitis(sensitivity,73.1%) and in 6 of 16 patients with abdominal pain but without any evidence of acute pancreatitis(specificity, 62.5%). The area under the curve(AUC) score of urinary trypsinogen-2 according to prognostic factors was 0.704, which was highest in all parameter. The AUC scores of urinary trypsinogen-2 and TAP according to CT Grade were 0.701 and 0.692, respectively, which shows higher than other pancreatic enzymes. The levels of urinary trypsinogen-2 and TAP were significantly higher in patients with extended extra-pancreatic inflammation as evaluated by CT Grade.CONCLUSION We reconfirmed urinary trypsinogen-2 dipstick test is useful as a marker for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Urinary trypsinogen-2 and TAP may be considered as useful markers to determine extra-pancreatic inflammation in acute pancreatitis. | Hiroaki Yasuda Keisho Kataoka Yoshifumi Takeyama Kazunori Takeda Tetsuhide Ito Toshihiko Mayumi Shuji Isaji Tetsuya Mine Motoji Kitagawa Seiki Kiriyama Junichi Sakagami Atsushi Masamune Kazuo Inui Kenji Hirano Ryukichi Akashi Masamichi Yokoe Yoshio Sogame Kazuichi Okazaki Chie Morioka Yasuyuki Kihara Shigeyuki Kawa Masao Tanaka Akira Andoh Wataru Kimura Isao Nishimori Junji Furuse Isao Yokota Tooru Shimosegawa | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019，25，1： | 7 |
| 18 | Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography for assessment of lymph node metastases in pancreatobiliary carcinoma显示文摘AIM: To assess the usefulness of contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography(CH-EUS) for lymph node metastasis in pancreatobiliary carcinoma.METHODS: All patients suspected of pancreatobiliary carcinoma with visible lymph nodes after standard EUS between June, 2009 and January, 2012 were enrolled.In the primary analysis, patients with successful EUSfine needle aspiration(FNA) were included. The lymph nodes were assessed by several standard EUS variables(short and long axis lengths, shape, edge characteristic and echogenicity), color Doppler EUS variable [central intranodal blood vessel(CIV) presence] and CH-EUS variable(heterogeneous/homogeneous enhancement patterns). The diagnostic accuracy relative to EUSFNA was calculated. In the second analysis, N-stage diagnostic accuracy of CH-EUS was compared with EUS-FNA in patients who underwent surgical resection.RESULTS: One hundred and nine patients(143 lymph nodes) fulfilled the criteria. The short axis cutoff ≥ 13 mm predicted malignancy with a sensitivity and specificity of 72% and 85%, respectively. These values were 72% and 63% for the long axis cut-off ≥ 20 mm, 62% and 75% for the round shape variable, 81% and 30% for the sharp edge variable, 66% and 61% for the hypoechogenicity variable, 70% and 72% for the CIV-absent variable, and 83% and 91% for the heterogeneous CH-EUS-enhancement variable, respectively. CH-EUS was more accurate than standard and color Doppler EUS, except the short axis cut-off. Notably, three patients excluded because of EUS-FNA failure were correctly N-staged by CH-EUS.CONCLUSION: CH-EUS complements standard and color Doppler EUS and EUS-FNA for assessment of lymph node metastases. | Takeshi Miyata Masayuki Kitano Shunsuke Omoto Kumpei Kadosaka Ken Kamata Hajime Imai Hiroki Sakamoto Naoshi Nisida Yogesh Harwani Takamichi Murakami Yoshifumi Takeyama Yasutaka Chiba Masatoshi Kudo | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，12： | 7 |

| 20 | Efficacy of endoluminal gastroplication in Japanese patients with proton pump inhibitor-resistant,non-erosive esophagitis显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy,safety,and long-term outcomes of endoluminal gastroplication(ELGP) in patients with proton pump inhibitor(PPI)-resistant,nonerosive reflux disease(NERD).METHODS:The subjects were NERD patients,diagnosed by upper endoscopy before PPI use,who had symptoms such as heartburn or reflux sensations two or more times a week even after 8 wk of full-dose PPI treatment.Prior to ELGP,while continuing full-dose PPI medication,patients' symptoms and quality of life(QOL) were assessed using the questionnaire for the diagnosis of reflux disease,the frequency scale for symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease(FSSG),gastrointestinal symptoms rating scale,a 36-item short-form.In addition,24-h esophageal pH monitoring or 24-h intraesophageal pH/impedance(MII-pH) monitoring was performed.The Bard EndoCinch TM was used for ELGP,and 2 or 3 plications were made.After ELGP,all acid reducers were temporarily discontinued,and medication was resumed depending on the development and severity of symptoms.Three mo after ELGP,symptoms,QOL,pH or MII-pH monitoring,number of plications,and PPI medication were evaluated.Further,symptoms,number of plications,and PPI medication were evaluated 12 mo after ELGP to investigate long-term effects.RESULTS:The mean FSSG score decreased significantly from before ELGP to 3 and 12 mo after ELGP(19.1 ± 10.5 to 10.3 ± 7.4 and 9.3 ± 9.9,P < 0.05,respectively).The total number of plications decreased gradually at 3 and 12 mo after ELGP(2.4 ± 0.8 to 1.2 ± 0.8 and 0.8 ± 1.0,P < 0.05,respectively).The FSSG scores in cases with no remaining plications and in cases with one or more remaining plications were 4.4 and 2.7,respectively,after 3 mo,and 2.0 and 2.8,respectively,after 12 mo,showing no correlation to plication loss.On pH monitoring,there was no difference in the percent time pH < 4 from before ELGP to 3 mo after.Impedance monitoring revealed no changes in the number of reflux episodes or the symptom index for reflux events from before ELGP to 3 mo after,but the symptom sensitivity index decreased significantly 3 mo after ELGP(16.1 ± 12.9 to 3.9 ± 8.3,P < 0.01).At 3 mo after ELGP,6 patients(31.6%) had reduced their PPI medication by 50% or more,and 11 patients(57.9%) were able to discontinue PPI medication altogether.After 12 mo,3 patients(16.7%) were able to reduce the amount of PPI medication by 50% or more,and 12 patients(66.7%) were able to discontinue PPI medication altogether.A high percentage of cases with remaining plications had discontinued PPIs medication after 3 mo,but there was no difference after 12 mo.No serious complications were observed in this study.CONCLUSION:ELGP was safe,resulted in significant improvement in subjective symptoms,and allowed less medication to be used over the long term in patients with PPI-refractory NERD. | Kentaro Tokudome Yasushi Funaki Makoto Sasaki Shinya Izawa Yasuhiro Tamura Akihito Iida Naotaka Ogasawara Toshihiro Konagaya Yoshifumi Tokura Kunio Kasugai | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012，18，41： | 5 |
