| 1 | Diagnosis and management of insulinoma显示文摘Insulinomas,the most common cause of hypoglycemia related to endogenous hyperinsulinism,occur in 1-4 people per million of the general population.Common autonomic symptoms of insulinoma include diaphroresis,tremor,and palpitations,whereas neuroglycopenenic symptoms include confusion,behavioural changes,personality changes,visual disturbances,seizure,and coma.Diagnosis of suspected cases is based on standard endocrine tests,especially the prolonged fasting test.Non-invasive imaging procedures,such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,are used when a diagnosis of insulinoma has been made to localize the source of pathological insulin secretion.Invasive modalities,such as endoscopic ultrasonography and arterial stimulation venous sampling,are highly accurate in the preoperative localization of insulinomas and have frequently been shown to be superior to noninvasive localization techniques.The range of techniques available for the localization of insulinomas means thatblind resection can be avoided.Intraoperative manual palpation of the pancreas by an experienced surgeon and intraoperative ultrasonography are both sensitive methods with which to finalize the location of insulinomas.A high proportion of patients with insulinomas can be cured with surgery.In patients with malignant insulinomas,an aggressive medical approach,including extended pancreatic resection,liver resection,liver transplantation,chemoembolization,or radiofrequency ablation,is recommended to improve both survival and quality of life.In patients with unresectable or uncontrollable insulinomas,such as malignant insulinoma of the pancreas,several techniques should be considered,including administration of ocreotide and/or continuous glucose monitoring,to prevent hypoglycemic episodes and to improve quality of life. | Takehiro Okabayashi Yasuo Shima Tatsuaki Sumiyoshi Akihito Kozuki Satoshi Ito Yasuhiro Ogawa Michiya Kobayashi Kazuhiro Hanazaki | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，6： | 78 |
| 2 | Vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer:Imaging modalities,preoperative diagnosis and surgical management显示文摘Pancreatic cancer is associated with a poor prognosis,and surgical resection remains the only chance for curative therapy.In the absence of metastatic disease,which would preclude resection,assessment of vascular invasion is an important parameter for determining resectability of pancreatic cancer.A frequent error is to misdiagnose an involved major vessel.Obviously,surgical exploration with pathological examination remains the'gold standard'in terms of evaluation of resectability,especially from the point of view of vascular involvement.However,current imaging modalities have improved and allow detection of vascular invasion with more accuracy.A venous resection in pancreatic cancer is a feasible technique and relatively reliable.Nevertheless,a survival benefit is not achieved by curative resection in patients with pancreatic cancer and vascular invasion.Although the discovery of an arterial invasion during the operation might require an aggressive management,discovery before the operation should be considered as a contraindication.Detection of vascular invasion remains one of the most important challenges in pancreatic surgery.The aim of this article is to provide a complete review of the different imaging modalities in the detection of vascular invasion in pancreatic cancer. | Nicolas C Buchs Michael Chilcott Pierre-Alexandre Poletti Leo H Buhler Philippe Morel | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，7： | 29 |
| 3 | Pancreatic trauma: A concise review显示文摘Traumatic injury to the pancreas is rare and difficult to diagnose.In contrast,traumatic injuries to the liver,spleen and kidney are common and are usually identified with ease by imaging modalities.Pancreatic injuries are usually subtle to identify by different diagnostic imaging modalities,and these injuries are often overlooked in cases with extensive multiorgan trauma.The most evident findings of pancreatic injury are posttraumatic pancreatitis with blood,edema,and soft tissue infiltration of the anterior pararenal space.The alterations of post-traumatic pancreatitis may not be visualized within several hours following trauma as they are time dependent.Delayed diagnoses of traumatic pancreatic injuries are associated with high morbidity and mortality.Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of pancreatic injuries because early recognition of the disruption of the main pancreatic duct is important.We reviewed our experience with the use of various imaging modalities for diagnosis of blunt pancreatic trauma. | Uma Debi Ravinder Kaur Kaushal Kishor Prasad Saroj Kant Sinha Anindita Sinha Kartar Singh | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，47： | 26 |
| 4 | Endoscopic removal of gastric ectopic pancreas:An initial experience with endoscopic submucosal dissection显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the therapeutic usefulness and safety of endoscopic resection in patients with gastric ectopic pancreas.METHODS:A total of eight patients with ectopic pancreas were included.All of them underwent endoscopic ultrasonography before endoscopic resection.Endo-scopic resection was performed by two methods:endo-scopic mucosal resection(EMR)by the injection-and-cut technique or endoscopic mucosal dissection(ESD).RESULTS:We planned to perform EMR in all eight cases but EMR was successful in only four cases.In the other four cases,saline spread into surrounding normal tissues and the lesions becameattened,which made it impossible to remove them by EMR.Inthose four cases,we performed ESD and removed the lesions without any complications.CONCLUSION:If conventional EMR is difficult to remove gastric ectopic pancreas,ESD is a feasible alternative method for successful removal. | Dong Yup Ryu Gwang Ha Kim Do Youn Park Bong Eun Lee Jae Hoon Cheong Dong Uk Kim Hyun Young Woo Jeong Heo Geun Am Song | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，36： | 24 |
| 5 | Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Risk factors, screening, and early detection显示文摘Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with over 38000 deaths in 2013. The opportunity to detect pancreatic cancer while it is still curable is dependent on our ability to identify and screen high-risk populations before their symptoms arise. Risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include multiple genetic syndromes as well as modifiable risk factors. Genetic conditions include hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch Syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, familial atypical multiple mole melanoma syndrome, hereditary pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and ataxia-telangiectasia; having a genetic predisposition can raise the risk of developing pancreatic cancer up to 132-fold over the general population. Modifiable risk factors, which include tobacco exposure, alcohol use, chronic pancreatitis, diet, obesity, diabetes mellitus, as well as certain abdominal surgeries and infections, have also been shown to increase the risk of pancreatic cancer development. Several largevolume centers have initiated such screening protocols, and consensus-based guidelines for screening high-riskgroups have recently been published. The focus of this review will be both the genetic and modifiable risk factors implicated in pancreatic cancer, as well as a review of screening strategies and their diagnostic yields. | Andrew E Becker Yasmin G Hernandez Harold Frucht Aimee L Lucas | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，32： | 24 |
| 6 | Pancreatic insulinoma:current issues and trends显示文摘BACKGROUND:Although insulinomas are very rare tumors, they are the most common pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.The incidence in general population is 1-4 per 1 000 000 yearly but the incidence is higher in autopsy studies. The malignancy of insulinomas is difficult to be predicted on the basis of their histological features,and the current WHO classification has been re-evaluated.This review aimed to summarize classical knowledge with current trends in the diagnosis and treatment of insulinomas. DATA SOURCES:A Medline search using terms'insulinoma', 'treatment'and'neuroendocrine tumors'was conducted. Additional references were sourced from key articles. RESULTS:Surgery is the treatment of choice for insulinoma and has an extremely high success rate.Medical treatment is also available but only for patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo surgical treatment.Preoperative localization is necessary for planning the surgical approach.Many methods exist for localization of an insulinoma and can be invasive and non-invasive.The combination of biphasic thin section helical CT and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)has an almost 100% sensitivity in localizing insulinomas.Laparoscopic ultrasound is mandatory to localize intraoperatively these tumors.EUS-guided fine needle tattoing is an alternative method of localization in case of lack of laparoscopic ultrasound. CONCLUSION:Laparoscopic resection for benign insulinomas is the procedure of choice,whereas pancreatectomy is reserved for large,potentially malignant tumors. | Dennis Vaidakis John Karoubalis Theodora Pappa George Piaditis George N Zografos | 2010 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2010，9，3： | 22 |
| 7 | Endoscopic ultrasound guided radiofrequency ablation,for pancreatic cystic neoplasms and neuroendocrine tumors显示文摘AIM: To outline the feasibility, safety, adverse events and early results of endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)-radiofrequency ablation(RFA) in pancreatic neoplasms using a novel probe. METHODS: This is a multi-center, pilot safety feasibility study. The intervention described was radiofrequency ablation(RF) which was applied with an innovative monopolar RF probe(1.2 mm Habib EUS-RFA catheter) placed through a 19 or 22 gauge fine needle aspiration(FNA) needle once FNA was performed in patients with a tumor in the head of the pancreas. The HabibTM EUSRFA is a 1 Fr wire(0.33 mm, 0.013') with a working length of 190 cm, which can be inserted through the biopsy channel of an echoendoscope. RF power is applied to the electrode at the end of the wire to coagulate tissue in the liver and pancreas.RESULTS: Eight patients [median age of 65(range 27-82) years; 7 female and 1 male] were recruited in a prospective multicenter trial. Six had a pancreatic cysticneoplasm(four a mucinous cyst, one had intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and one a microcystic adenoma) and two had a neuroendocrine tumors(NET) in the head of pancreas. The mean size of the cystic neoplasm and NET were 36.5 mm(SD ± 17.9 mm) and 27.5 mm(SD ± 17.7 mm) respectively. The EUSRFA was successfully completed in all cases. Among the 6 patients with a cystic neoplasm, post procedure imaging in 3-6 mo showed complete resolution of the cysts in 2 cases, whilst in three more there was a 48.4% reduction [mean pre RF 38.8 mm(SD ± 21.7 mm) vs mean post RF 20 mm(SD ± 17.1 mm)] in size. In regards to the NET patients, there was a change in vascularity and central necrosis after EUS-RFA. No major complications were observed within 48 h of the procedure. Two patients had mild abdominal pain that resolved within 3 d. CONCLUSION: EUS-RFA of pancreatic neoplasms with a novel monopolar RF probe was well tolerated in all cases. Our preliminary data suggest that the procedure is straightforward and safe. The response ranged from complete resolution to a 50% reduction in size. | Madhava Pai Nagy Habib Hakan Senturk Sundeep Lakhtakia Nageshwar Reddy Vito R Cicinnati Iyad Kaba Susanne Beckebaum Panagiotis Drymousis Michel Kahaleh William Brugge | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2015，7，4： | 23 |
| 8 | Contrast-enhanced ultrasound:The evolving applications显示文摘Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)is a major breakthrough for ultrasound imaging in recent years.By using a microbubble contrast agent and contrast-specific imaging software,CEUS is able to depict the microand macro-circulation of the targeted organ,which in turn leads to improved performance in diagnosis.Due to the special dual blood supply system in the liver,CEUS is particularly suitable for liver imaging.It is evident that CEUS facilitates improvement for characterization of focal liver lesions(FLLs),detection of liver malignancy,guidance for interventional procedures,and evaluation of treatment response after local therapies.CEUS has been demonstrated to be equal to contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging for the characterization of FLLs.In addition,the applicability of CEUS has expanded to non-liver structures such as gallbladder,bile duct,pancreas,kidney,spleen,breast,thyroid,and prostate.The usefulness of CEUS in these applications is confirmed by extensive literature production.Novel applications include detecting bleeding sites and hematomas in patients with abdominal trauma,guiding percutaneous injection therapy and therefore achieving the goal of using interventional ultrasonography in managing splenic trauma,assessing the activity of Crohn’s disease,and detecting suspected endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair.Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound(US)and intracavitary use of CEUS have been developed and clinically studied.The potential use of CEUS involves sentinel lymph node detection,drug or gene delivery,and molecular imaging.In conclusion,the advent of CEUS has greatly enhanced the usefulness of US and even changed the status of US in clinical practice.The application of CEUS in the clinic is continuously evolving and it is expected that its use will be expanded further in the future. | Hui-Xiong Xu | 2009 | World Journal of Radiology2009，1，1： | 23 |
| 9 | Exploring the metabolic syndrome: Nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease显示文摘After the first description of fatty pancreas in 1933,the effects of pancreatic steatosis have been poorly investigated,compared with that of the liver. However,the interest of research is increasing. Fat accumulation,associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome(Met S),has been defined as 'fatty infiltration' or 'nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease'(NAFPD). The term 'fatty replacement' describes a distinct phenomenon characterized by death of acinar cells and replacement by adipose tissue. Risk factors for developing NAFPD include obesity,increasing age,male sex,hypertension,dyslipidemia,alcohol and hyperferritinemia. Increasing evidence support the role of pancreatic fat in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus,Met S,atherosclerosis,severe acute pancreatitis and even pancreatic cancer. Evidence exists that fatty pancreas could be used as the initial indicator of 'ectopic fat deposition',which is a key element of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and/or Met S. Moreover,in patients with fatty pancreas,pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with an increased risk of intraoperative blood loss and post-operative pancreatic fistula. | Roberto Catanzaro Biagio Cuffari Angelo Italia Francesco Marotta | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，34： | 22 |
| 10 | Plasma endothelin and nitric oxide levels in patients with acute pancreatitis显示文摘Objective: To explore the changes of plasma endothelin(ET) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in patients with a-cute pancreatitis.Methods: The level of plasma ET was measured by ra-dioactive-immunoassay, and NO by spectrophotometry.Results: The levels of ET, NO and the ET/NO ratioin patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) within24 hours in hospital were all significantly higher thanthose in other groups of patients [(176±8)pg/ml,(97±11) μmol/L, and 1.83±0.12, P<0.01]. Com-pared to healthy controls(N), the levels of ET and NOin patients without pancreatitis acute abdomen (NAP)and patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) in-creased significantly (P<0.01). After appropriate treat-ment, the levels of ET and NO in the MAP groupwere lower (P<0.01). Compared with those beforetreatment, the levels of ET and NO in the SAP groupon the 3rd and 7th day in hospital dropped signifi-cantly(P<0.01).The ET/NO ratio on the 7th daywas also lower than that on admission (P<0.01).Conclusions: The malfunction of endothelial cells andthe increased ET/NO ratio may be related to the mecha-nism of pancreatic microcirculatory disturbance in pa-tients with SAP; early dynamic determination of theseparameters may help predict the prognosis of SAP. | Xiao-Hua Zeng Shi-Qin Zhu Xing-Ming Zhang Wen-Jun Luo Sheng-Wei Li From the Department of General Surgery, Second Clinical College, Chongqing University of Medical Sciences, Chongqing 400010, China | 2002 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2002，1，1： | 19 |
| 11 | Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm: Key immunohistochemical profiles for differential diagnosis显示文摘AIM To reveal better diagnostic markers for differentiating neuroendocrine tumor(NET) from solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm(SPN), focusing primarily on immunohistochemical analysis.METHODS We reviewed 30 pancreatic surgical specimens of NET(24 cases) and SPN(6 cases). We carried out comprehensive immunohistochemical profiling using 9 markers: Synaptophysin, chromogranin A, pancytokeratin, E-cadherin, progesterone receptor,vimentin, α-1-antitrypsin, CD10, and β-catenin.RESULTS E-cadherin staining in NETs, and nuclear labeling of β-catenin in SPNs were the most sensitive and specific markers. Dot-like staining of chromogranin A might indicate the possibility of SPNs rather than NETs. The other six markers were not useful because their expression overlapped widely between NETs and SPNs. Moreover, two cases that had been initially diagnosed as NETs on the basis of their morphological features, demonstrated SPN-like immunohistochemical profiles. Careful diagnosis is crucial as we actually found two confusing cases showing disagreement between the tumor morphology and immunohistochemical profiles.CONCLUSION E-cadherin, chromogranin A, and β-catenin were the most useful markers which should be employed for differentiating between NET and SPN. | Yusuke Ohara Tatsuya Oda Shinji Hashimoto Yoshimasa Akashi Ryoichi Miyamoto Tsuyoshi Enomoto Kaishi Satomi Yukio Morishita Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，38： | 19 |
| 12 | Diagnosis and treatment of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas显示文摘BACKGROUND: Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) of the pancreas is a rare exocrine pancreatic tumor. Despite the increasing recognition of the tumor in recent years, its pathogenesis and apparent therapeutic algorithm remain unclear. This study was designed to define the clinical, imaging, and pathologic features and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease. METHOD: The clinical, imaging, and pathologic findings of 9 SPT patients managed in our hospital between 2001 and 2005 were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. RESULTS: In the 9 patients aged from 14 to 68 years, 8 were female and 1 male. The mean age of these patients at diagnosis was 30 years. Initially, 8 patients complained of vague abdominal pain and one patient had pancreatic mass detected incidentally by abdominal CT. The levels of blood and urine amylase and tumor markers were all within the normal range. B-US, CT and MRI demonstrated that tumors were well encapsulated and contained some degree of internal hemorrhage or cystic degeneration. The mean transverse diameter of these tumors was 5.4 cm (range, 2-10.5 cm). The tumors were located at the head (2 patients), body (2), body and tail junction (4), and tail (1) of the pancreas. Surgical procedures included pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, and enucleation. Histological examination showed solidified cystic areas and papillary protrusions. Two malignant tumors demonstrated retroperitoneal metastases and vascular invasion. Follow-up for 2.5 years on average showed that one patient died of tumor recurrence at 10 months and the rest were alive. CONCLUSIONS: SPT exhibits unique clinical and pathologic features and is readily diagnosed by its characteristic imaging and histological appearance. Surgical resection of the primary tumor and metastases is the treatment of choice. | Hao Zhang, Ting-Bo Liang, Wei-Lin Wang, Yan Shen, Guo-Ping Ren and Shu-Sen Zheng Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery , and Department of Pathology, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou 310003, China | 2006 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2006，5，3： | 18 |
| 13 | Adenocarcinoma arising from heterotopic pancreas at the third portion of the duodenum显示文摘A 62-year-old Japanese man presented to our hospital with a history of weight loss of 6 kg in 4 mo. Imaging examinations revealed a tumor located on the third portion of the duodenum with stenosis. We suspected duodenal carcinoma and performed pancreas-preserving segmental duodenectomy. Adenocarcinoma arising from a heterotopic pancreas at the third portion of the duodenum was finally diagnosed by immunohistochemical staining. Malignant transformation in the duodenum arising from a heterotopic pancreas is extremely rare; to our knowledge, only 13 cases have been reported worldwide, including the present case. The most common location of malignancy is the proximal duodenum at the first and descending portion. Herein, we describe the first case of adenocarcinoma arising from a heterotopic pancreas, which was located in the third portion of the duodenum, with a review of the literature. | Nobutada Fukino Takatsugu Oida Kenji Mimatsu Youichi Kuboi Kazutoshi Kida | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，13： | 17 |
| 14 | Magnetic resonance imaging for local complications of acute pancreatitis: A pictorial review显示文摘Acute pancreatitis is a common disease characterized by sudden upper abdominal pain and vomiting. Alcoholism and choledocholithiasis are the most common factors for this disease. The choice of treatment for acute pancreatitis might be affected by local complications, such as local hemorrhage in or around the pancreas, and peripancreatic infection or pseudoaneurysm. Diagnostic imaging modalities for acute pancreatitis have a significant role in confirming the diagnosis of the disease, helping detect the extent of pancreatic necrosis, and for diagnosing local complications. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) might be indicated in acute pancreatitis for detecting and characterizing local complications of acute pancreatitis that involve necrotic, hemorrhagic, infectious, vascular, and pseudocyst disorders. The general MRI sequences for pancreatitis require the combined use of T1-weighted, T2-weighted sequences, and magnetic resonance chol-angiopancreatography. For imaging of pancreatic necrosis, the combination of T1-weighted and T2-weighted findings with dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging gives a comprehensive evaluation of the extent of necrosis and full range of inflammatory extension. For imaging of infectious complications, dynamic contrast-enhanced examinations might help differentiate pancreatic cellulitis or abscesses, from pancreatic fluid collection or simple pseudocysts. For vascular abnormalities, the combination of cross-sectional pancreatic parenchyma imaging with MRA represents a single diagnostic modality for the full evaluation of peripancreatic artery and vein involvement, such as arterial pseudoaneurysms and venous thromboses. The purpose of this pictorial review is to examine the MRI appearances of various local complications of acute pancreatitis and to discuss the practical setup of MRI in local complications of acute pancreatitis. | Xiao, Bo Zhang, Xiao-Ming Tang, Wei Zeng, Nan-Lin Zhai, Zhao-Hua | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，22： | 17 |
| 15 | Update on pathogenesis and clinical management of acute pancreatitis显示文摘Acute pancreatitis (AP), defined as the acute nonbacterial inflammatory condition of the pancreas, is derived from the early activation of digestive enzymes found inside the acinar cells, with variable compromise of the gland itself, nearby tissues and other organs. So, it is an event that begins with pancreatic injury, elicits an acute inflammatory response, encompasses a variety of complications and generally resolves over time. Different conditions are known to induce this disorder, although the innermost mechanisms and how they act to develop the disease are still unknown. We summarize some well established aspects. A phase sequence has been proposed: etiology factors generate other conditions inside acinar cells that favor the AP development with some systemic events; genetic factors could be involved as susceptibility and modifying elements. AP is a disease with extremely different clinical expressions. Most patients suffer a mild and limited disease, but about one fifth of cases develop multi organ failure, accompanied by high mortality. This great variability in presentation, clinical course and complications has given rise to the confusion related to AP related terminology. However, consensus meetings have provided uniform definitions, including the severity of the illness. The clinical management is mainly based on the disease′s severity and must be directed to correct the underlying predisposing factors and control the inflammatory process itself. The first step is to determine if it is mild or severe. We review the principal aspects to be considered in this treatment, as reflected in several clinical practice guidelines. For the last 25 years, there has been a global increase in incidence of AP, along with many advances in diagnosis and treatment. However, progress in knowledge of its pathogenesis is scarce. | Dulce M Cruz-Santamaría Carlos Taxonera Manuel Giner | 2012 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2012，3，3： | 16 |
| 16 | MRI-determined fat content of human liver,pancreas and kidney显示文摘AIM:To assess and correlate the lipid content of various organs in obese subjects and in persons with a normal body weight.METHODS:Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and a previously validated gradient echo magnetic resonance imaging method with Dixon's two point technique were used in this study to quantify fat in liver,pancreas as well as kidney.RESULTS:In 36 volunteers with body mass index(BMI) ranging from 20.0 to 42.9 kg/m2,the median fat content of liver,pancreas and kidney was 2.3%(interquartile range:0.2%-7.8%),2.7%(1.0%-6.5%) and 0.7%(0.1%-1.4%),respectively.BMI and subcutaneous fat correlated significantly with liver and pancreas fat content.We show for the first time the significant correlation of liver and pancreas fat content in healthy controls(r = 0.43,P < 0.01).These observations are related to body weight as measured by BMI and the amount of subcutaneous fat.Kidney fat content is very low and correlates with none of the other fat depots.CONCLUSION:Renal lipid accumulation,unlike the coupled accumulations of fat in liver and pancreas,is not observed in obese subjects.Unlike suggestions made in previous studies,renal lipid accumulation appears not to be involved in the pathogenesis of renal disease in humans. | Paul E Sijens Mireille A Edens Stephan JL Bakker Ronald P Stolk | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010，16，16： | 14 |
| 17 | Diffusion-weighted imaging of pancreatic cancer显示文摘Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) is a reliable and accurate imaging method for the evaluation of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC). Diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) is a relatively recent technological improvement that expanded MRI capabilities, having brought functional aspects into conventional morphologic MRI evaluation. DWI can depict the random diffusion of water molecules within tissues(the so-called Brownian motions). Modifications of water diffusion induced by different factors acting on the extracellular and intracellular spaces, as increased cell density, edema, fibrosis, or altered functionality of cell membranes, can be detected using this MR sequence. The intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) model is an advanced DWI technique that consent a separate quantitative evaluation of all the microscopic random motions that contribute to DWI, which are essentially represented by molecular diffusion and blood microcirculation(perfusion). Technological improvements have made possible the routine use of DWI during abdominal MRI study. Several authors have reported that the addition of DWI sequence can be of value for the evaluation of patients with PDAC, especially improving the staging; nevertheless, it is still unclear whether and how DWI could be helpful for identification, characterization, prognostic stratification and follow-up during treatment. The aim of this paper is to review up-to-date literature data regarding the applications of DWI and IVIM to PDACs. | Riccardo De Robertis Paolo Tinazzi Martini Emanuele Demozzi Flavia Dal Corso Claudio Bassi Paolo Pederzoli Mirko D'Onofrio | 2015 | World Journal of Radiology2015，7，10： | 14 |
| 18 | MicroRNAs:a new ray of hope for diabetes mellitus显示文摘Diabetes mellitus has become one of the most common chronic diseases,thereby posing a major challenge to global health.Characterized by high levels of blood glucose(hyperglycemia),diabetes usually results from a loss of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas,leading to a deficiency of insulin(type 1 diabetes),or loss of insulin sensitivity(type 2 diabetes).Both types of diabetes have serious secondary complications,such as microvascular abnormalities,cardiovascular dysfunction,and kidney failure.Various complex factors,such as genetic and environmental factors,are associated with the pathophysiology of diabetes.Over the past two decades,the role of small,single-stranded noncoding microRNAs in various metabolic disorders,especially diabetes mellitus and its complications,has gained widespread attention in the scientific community.Discovered first as an endogenous regulator of development in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans,these small RNAs post-transcriptionally suppress mRNA target expression.In this review,we discuss the potential roles of different microRNAs in diabetes and diabetes-related complications. | Munish Kumar Sayantan Nath Himanshu K Prasad G D Sharma Yong Li | 2012 | Protein & Cell2012，3，10： | 14 |
| 19 | Ultrasonography in diagnosing chronic pancreatitis: New aspects显示文摘The course and outcome is poor for most patients with pancreatic diseases.Advances in pancreatic imaging are important in the detection of pancreatic diseases at early stages.Ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool has made,virtually speaking a technical revolution in medical imaging in the new millennium.It has not only become the preferred method for first line imaging,but also,increasingly to clarify the interpretation of other imaging modalities to obtain efficient clinical decision.We review ultrasonography modalities,focusing on advanced pancreatic imaging and its potential to substantially improve diagnosis of pancreatic diseases at earlier stages.In the first section,we describe scanning techniques and examination protocols.Their consequences for image quality and the ability to obtain complete and detailed visualization of the pancreas are discussed.In the second section we outline ultrasonographic characteristics of pancreatic diseases with emphasis on chronic pancreatitis.Finally,new developments in ultrasonography of the pancreas such as contrast enhanced ultrasound and elastography are enlightened. | Georg Dimcevski Friedemann G Erchinger Roald Havre Odd Helge Gilja | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，42： | 12 |
| 20 | Effects of disease severity and necrosis on pancreatic dysfunction after acute pancreatitis显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the effects of disease severity and necrosis on organ dysfunctions in acute pancreatitis(AP).METHODS:One hundred and nine patients treated as AP between March 2003 and September 2007 with at least 6 mo follow-up were included.Patients were classified according to severity of the disease,necrosis ratio and localization.Subjective clinical evaluation and fecal pancreatic elastase-Ⅰ(FPE-Ⅰ)were used for exocrine dysfunction evaluation,and oral glucose tolerance test was completed for endocrine dysfunction.The correlation of disease severity,necrosis ratio and localization with exocrine and endocrine dysfunction were investigated.RESULTS:There were 58 male and 51 female patients,and mean age was 56.5±15.7.Of the patients,35.8%had severe AP(SAP)and 27.5%had pancreatic necrosis.Exocrine dysfunction was identified in 13.7%of the patients[17.9%were in SAP,11.4%were in mild AP(MAP)]and 34.7%of all of the patients had endocrine dysfunction(56.4%in SAP and 23.2%in MAP).In patients with SAP and necrotizing AP(NAP),FPE-Ⅰlevels were lower than the others(P<0.05 and0.001 respectively)and in patients having pancreatic head necrosis or near total necrosis,FPE-1 levels were lower than 200μg/g stool.Forty percent of the patients who had undergone necrosectomy developed exocrine dysfunction.Endocrine dysfunction was more significant in patients with SAP and NAP(P<0.001).All of the patients in the necrosectomy group had endocrine dysfunction.CONCLUSION:Patients with SAP,NAP,pancreatic head necrosis and necrosectomy should be followed for pancreatic functions. | Gokhan Garip Emre Sarandl Ekrem Kaya | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，44： | 12 |
