| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | Utility of linked color imaging for endoscopic diagnosis of early gastric cancer显示文摘BACKGROUND Linked color imaging(LCI) is a method of endoscopic imaging that emphasizes slight differences in red mucosal color.AIM To evaluate LCI in diagnostic endoscopy of early gastric cancer and to compare LCI and pathological findings.METHODS Endoscopic images were obtained for 39 patients(43 lesions) with early gastric cancer. Three endoscopists evaluated lesion recognition with white light imaging(WLI) and LCI. Color values in Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage(CIE)1976 L*a*b* color space were used to calculate the color difference(ΔE) between cancer lesions and non-cancer areas. After endoscopic submucosal dissection,blood vessel density in the surface layer of the gastric epithelium was evaluated pathologically. The identical region of interest was selected for analyses of endoscopic images(WLI and LCI) and pathological analyses.RESULTS LCI was superior for lesion recognition(P < 0.0001), and ΔE between cancer and non-cancer areas was significantly greater with LCI than WLI(29.4 vs 18.6, P <0.0001). Blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions(5.96% vs4.15%, P = 0.0004). An a* cut-off of ≥ 24 in CIE 1976 L*a*b* color space identified a cancer lesion using LCI with sensitivity of 76.7%, specificity of 93.0%, and accuracy of 84.9%.CONCLUSION LCI is more effective for recognition of early gastric cancer compared to WLI as a result of improved visualization of changes in redness. Surface blood vessel density was significantly higher in cancer lesions, and this result is consistent with LCI image analysis. | Toshihisa Fujiyoshi Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Kazuhiro Furukawa Tsunaki Sawada Keiko Maeda Takeshi Yamamura Takuya Ishikawa Eizaburo Ohno Masanao Nakamura Hiroki Kawashima Masato Nakaguro Masahiro Nakatochi Yoshiki Hirooka | 2019 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2019,25,10: | 12 |
| 4 | Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration in the differentiation of type 1 and type 2 autoimmune pancreatitis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA) in the differentiation of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP).METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 47 of 56 AIP patients who underwent EUS-FNA and met the Asian diagnostic criteria.On 47 EUS-FNA specimens,we evaluated the presence of adequate material and characteristic features of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis(LPSP) and idiopathic duct-centric pancreatitis(IDCP) mentioned in the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria and examined if these findings make a contribution to the differential diagnosis of type 1 and type 2 AIP.A disposable 22-gauge needle was used for EUS-FNA.RESULTS:Adequate specimens including pancreatic tissue for differentiating AIP from cancer were obtained from 43 of 47 patients who underwent EUSFNA.EUS-FNA was performed from the pancreatic head in 21 cases,which is known to be technically difficult when performed by core biopsy;there was no significant difference in the results compared with pancreatic body-tail.Nine of 47 patients met level 1 findings of LPSP and 5 patients met level 2 findings of LPSP.No one met level 1 findings of IDCP,but 3 patients met level 2 findings of IDCP.Of 10 seronegative cases,2 cases were diagnosed with 'definitive type 1 AIP',and 3 cases were diagnosed with 'probable type 2 AIP' when considering both the level 2 histological findings and response to steroids.CONCLUSION:EUS-FNA is useful in the differentiation of type 1 and type 2 AIP,particularly in seronegative cases. | Takuya Ishikawa Akihiro Itoh Hiroki Kawashima Eizaburo Ohno Hirosh Matsubara Yuya Itoh Yosuke Nakamura Takeshi Hiramatsu Masanao Nakamura Ryoji Miyahara Naoki Ohmiya Hidemi Goto Yoshiki Hirooka | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,29: | 8 |
| 5 | Characteristic endoscopic findings and risk factors for cytomegalovirus-associated colitis in patients with active ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM: To identify characteristic endoscopic findings and risk factors for cytomegalovirus(CMV)-associated colitis in patients with active ulcerative colitis(UC).METHODS: A total of 149 UC patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, Nagoya University Hospital, from January 2004 to December 2013 with exacerbation of UC symptoms were enrolled in this retrospective study. All medical records, including colonoscopy results, were reviewed. CMV infection was determined by the presence of CMV antigen, CMV inclusion bodies in biopsy specimens, or positive specific immunohistochemical staining for CMV. Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for CMV colitis.RESULTS: Multivariate analysis indicated independent associations with the extent of disease(pancolitis) anduse of > 400 mg corticosteroids for the previous 4 wk. In contrast, no association was seen with sex, age at UC diagnosis, immunomodulator use, or infliximab use. Punched-out ulceration was also significantly associated with CMV infection in patients with active UC(odds ratio = 12.672, 95%CI: 4.210-38.143).CONCLUSION: Identification of a total corticosteroid dose > 400 mg for 4 wk, extensive colitis and a specific endoscopic finding of punched-out ulcer might facilitate the more rapid diagnosis and timely initiation of antiviral therapy for CMV-associated colitis in patients with active UC. | Yutaka Hirayama Takafumi Ando Yoshiki Hirooka Osamu Watanabe Ryoji Miyahara Masanao Nakamura Takeshi Yamamura Hidemi Goto | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2016,8,6: | 8 |
| 6 | In vivo histological diagnosis for gastric cancer using endocytoscopy显示文摘AIM To examine usefulness of virtual biopsy using endocytoscopy by comparing the in vivo endocytoscopic and histopathological images of gastric cancers.METHODS Endocytoscopy was performed in 30 patients with early gastric cancer. Of these, 26 patients showed well differentiated adenocarcinomas, while 4 patients showed poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas(including one signet ring cell carcinoma). Cancerous and non-cancerous areas were observed after double staining with 0.05% crystal violet and 0.1% methylene blue. The endocytoscopic images obtained were evaluated by an expert endoscopist and an expert pathologist without knowledge of patient clinical data, and endocytoscopic and histopathological diagnoses were compared.RESULTS The endocytoscopic images of the cancerous area were assessed as evaluable in 25(83.3%) and 27(90%) patients by endoscopist A and pathologist B, respectively, and those of the non-cancerous area as evaluable in 28(93.3%) and 23(76.7%) patients by the endoscopist and pathologist, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancer diagnosis using evaluable endocytoscopic images were 88.0% and 92.9%, and 90.6% by endoscopist A, and 88.9% and 91.3%, and 90.0% by pathologist B, respectively. Evaluation of the diagnostic concordance rate between the endoscopist and the pathologist by inter-observer agreement calculation revealed no significant difference between the two observers. The inter-observer agreement(κ-value) for endocytoscopic diagnosis was 0.745. CONCLUSION Endocytoscopy is useful for the differentiation of cancerous from non-cancerous gastric mucosa, making it a promising tool for virtual biopsy. | Issei Tsurudome Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Kazuhiro Furukawa Masanobu Matsushita Takeshi Yamamura Takuya Ishikawa Eizaburo Ohno Masanao Nakamura Hiroki Kawashima Osamu Watanabe Masato Nakaguro Akira Satou Yoshiki Hirooka Hidemi Goto | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,37: | 5 |

| 8 | Modified docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine for stage Ⅳ gastric cancer in Japanese patients: A feasibility study显示文摘AIM To evaluate the feasibility of chemotherapy including fluoropyrimidine, platinum and taxane with modified dosages for unresectable gastric cancer in Japanese patients.METHODS We performed a feasibility study of a modified docetaxel, cisplatin and capecitabine (DCX) regimen for stage Ⅳ gastric cancer. In particular, 30 or 40 mg/m^2 of docetaxel on day 1, 60 mg/m^2 of cisplatin on day 1, and 2000 mg/m^2 of capecitabine for 2 wk were administered every three weeks.RESULTS Three patients were treated with modified DCX(m DCX) with 30 mg/m^2 docetaxel, and five patients were treated with this regimen with 40 mg/m^2 docetaxel. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia was observed in six of the eight patients; no patients exhibited febrile neutropenia. Partial response was achieved in four of the eight patients. Three patients underwent gastrectomy, which achieved R0 resection without residual tumors in dissected lymph nodes. In one of these three patients, resected specimens revealed pathological complete response in the primary lesion and in lymph nodes.CONCLUSION m DCX was well tolerated by Japanese patients with stage Ⅳ gastric cancer. This regimen might be useful for allowing gastric cancer patients with distant lymph node metastasis to undergo conversion surgery. | Osamu Maeda Ayumu Matsuoka Ryoji Miyahara Kohei Funasaka Yoshiki Hirooka Masahide Fukaya Masato Nagino Yasuhiro Kodera Hidemi Goto Yuichi Ando | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,6: | 4 |
| 9 | A case of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract showing extensive plasma cell differentiation with prominent Russell bodies显示文摘A 73-year-old Japanese woman was hospitalized for detailed examination of nausea, diarrhea and loss of appetite. Atypical erosion in the ileum was found on endoscopy. Biopsy of this erosion showed proliferation of cells containing numerous Russell bodies. Differential diagnoses considered were Russell body enteritis, crystal-storing histiocytosis, Mott cell tumor, immunoproliferative small intestinal disease(IPSID) and mucosaassociated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma. The cells containing prominent Russell bodies showed diffuse positivity for CD79 a and CD138, but negative results for CD20, CD3, UCHL-1, CD38 and CD68. Russell bodies were diffusely positive for lambda light chain, but negative for kappa light chain, and immunoglobulin(Ig)G, Ig A and Ig M. Based on these findings, Russell body enteritis, crystal-storing histiocytosis and IPSID were ruled out. As the tumor formed no mass lesions and was restricted to the gastrointestinal tract, MALT lymphoma with extensive plasma cell differentiation was finally diagnosed. The patient showed an unexpectedly aggressive clinical course. The number of atypical lymphocytes in peripheral blood gradually increased and T-prolymphocytic leukemia(T-PLL) emerged. The patient died of T-PLL 7 mo after admission. Autopsy was not permitted. | Keita Kai Masaharu Miyahara Yasunori Tokuda Shinich Kido Masanori Masuda Yukari Takase Osamu Tokunaga | 2013 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2013,1,5: | 4 |
| 10 | 疑似小肠出血患者经胶囊内镜和双球囊肠镜检查结果的初步比较显示文摘Background and study aims: Capsule endoscopy (CE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) have been introduced as modalities for examining the entire small bowel. The aim of the present study was to assess the clinical effects of CE and DBE to consider the roles of CE and DBE and the indications for the procedures in patients with suspected small-bowel bleeding. Patients and methods: Between June 2004 and January 2005,32 patients in whom a site of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract had not been identified were enrolled in the study. Twenty-eight patients were examined with both methods. Bleeding sources were categorized as either A1 lesions (immediate hemostatic procedures required) or A2 lesions (close observation required). CE and DBE were evaluated with regard to whether or not they were capable of accessing the entire small bowel and provided a diagnosis, and the access and diagnostic rates were calculated. Results: On CE, 13 patients were diagnosed with A1 lesions and six with A2 lesions; on DBE, 11 had A1 lesions and one had an A2 lesion. The access rate for the entire small intestine on CE was 90.6% (29 of 32), significantly higher than with DBE at 62.5% (10 of 16; P < 0.05). The diagnostic rate on CE was 59.4% (19 of 32), higher than with DBE at 42.9% (12 of 28; P = 0.30), but not significantly different. Among patients with A1 lesions who were diagnosed with DBE, histological diagnoses were obtained in six of the 11, and three patients were treated. Conclusions: In many suspected small-bowel bleeding cases, CE should be selected for the initial diagnosis and DBE for treatment or histopathological diagnosis after detection of the bleeding site on | Nakamura M.

| 11 | Chemotherapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma in the sorafenib age显示文摘The kinase inhibitor sorafenib is the only systemic therapy proven to have a positive effect on survival of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).After development of sorafenib and its introduction as a therapeutic agent used in the clinic,several critical questions have been raised.Clinical parameters and biomarkers predicting sorafenib efficacy are the most important issues that need to be elucidated.Although it is difficult to know the responders in advance using conventional characteristics of patients,there are specific serum cytokines and/or gene amplification in tumor tissues that have been reported to predict efficacy of sorafenib.Risk and benefits of continuation of sorafenib beyond radiological progression is another issue to consider because no other standard therapy for advanced HCC as yet exists.In addition,effectiveness of the expanded application of sorafenib is still controversial,although a few studies have shed some light on combinational treatment with sorafenib for intermediate-stage HCC.Recently,over 50 relevant drugs have been developed and are currently under investigation.The efficacy of some of these drugs has been extensively examined,but none have demonstrated any superiority over sorafenib,so far.However,there are several drugs that have shown efficacy for treatment after sorafenib failure,and these are proceeding to further studies.To address these issues and questions,we have done extensive literature review and summarize the most current status of therapeutic application of sorafenib. | Koji Miyahara Kazuhiro Nouso Kazuhide Yamamoto | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,15: | 3 |
| 12 | Double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for patients who underwent liver operation: A retrospective study显示文摘BACKGROUND Double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (DB-ERC) is widely performed for biliary diseases after reconstruction in gastrointestinal surgery,but there are few reports on DB-ERC after hepatectomy or living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).AIM To examine the success rates and safety of DB-ERC after hepatectomy or LDLT METHODS The study was performed retrospectively in 26 patients (45 procedures) who underwent hepatectomy or LDLT (liver operation:LO group) and 40 control patients (59 procedures) who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (control group).The technical success (endoscope reaching the choledochojejunostomy site),diagnostic success (performance of cholangiography),therapeutic success(completed interventions) and overall success rates,insertion and procedure(completion of DB-ERC) time,and adverse events were compared between these groups.RESULTS There were no significant differences between LO and control groups in the technical [93.3%(42/45) vs 96.6%(57/59),P=0.439],diagnostic [83.3%(35/42) vs83.6%(46/55),P=0.968],therapeutic [97.0%(32/33) vs 97.7%(43/44),P=0.836],and overall [75.6%(34/45) vs 79.7%(47/59),P=0.617] success rates.The median insertion time (22 vs 14 min,P <0.001) and procedure time (43.5 vs 30 min,P=0.033) were significantly longer in the LO group.The incidence of adverse events showed no significant difference [11.1%(5/45) vs 6.8%(4/59),P=0.670].CONCLUSION DB-ERC after liver operation is safe and useful but longer time is required,so should be performed with particular care. | Ryo Nishio Hiroki Kawashima Masanao Nakamura Eizaburo Ohno Takuya Ishikawa Takeshi Yamamura Keiko Maeda Tsunaki Sawada Hiroyuki Tanaka Daisuke Sakai Ryoji Miyahara Masatoshi Ishigami Yoshiki Hirooka Mitsuhiro Fujishiro | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,10: | 3 |
| 13 | Azathioprine is essential following cyclosporine for patients with steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate long-term prognosis following cyclosporine treatment by examining the rate of surgery avoidance among cyclosporine responders.METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed clinical records for 29 patients diagnosed with severe steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis in our hospital from August 1997 to August 2008 and treated with cyclosporine by continuous intravenous infusion.All patients were treated with intravenous corticosteroids for more than 5 d prior to cyclosporine therapy.Administration was continued for up to 21 d under serum monitoring to maintain cyclosporine levels between 400 and 600 ng/mL.Clinical activity was assessed before and after cyclosporine therapy using the clinical activity index score,with a reduction of ≥ 5 considered to indicate a response.Among responders,we defined cases not requiring surgery for more than 5 years as exhibiting long-term efficacy of cyclosporine.Factors considered to be possibly predictive of long-term efficacy of cyclosporine were sex,age,disease duration,clinical activity index score,C-reactive protein level,hemoglobin level,disease extent,endoscopic findings,and clinical course.RESULTS: Cyclosporine was not discontinued due to side effects in any patient.Nineteen(65.5%) of 29 patients were considered responders.A statistically significant(P = 0.004) inverseas sociation wa s observed between an endoscopic finding of 'mucosal bleeding' and responsive cases.Fifteen(9 males,6 females) of these 19 patients were followed for 5 years or more,of whom 9(60%) exhibited long-termefficacy of cyclosporine.Of the 10 non-responders,9(90%) underwent surgery within 6 mo of cyclosporine therapy.None of the following factors had a significant impact on the long-term efficacy of cyclosporine: sex,age,duration of disease,clinical activity index score,C-reactive protein level,hemoglobin level,extent of disease,endoscopic findings,or clinical course.In contrast,a significant association was observed for maintenance therapy with azathioprine after cyclosporine therapy(P = 0.0014).CONCLUSION: Maintenance therapy with azathioprine might improve the long-term efficacy of continuously infused cyclosporine for severe steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis patients. | Nobuyuki Miyake Takafumi Ando Kazuhiro Ishiguro Osamu Maeda Osamu Watanabe Yutaka Hirayama Keiko Maeda Kazuhiro Morise Masanobu Matsushita Kazuhiro Furukawa Kohei Funasaka Masanao Nakamura Ryoji Miyahara Naoki Ohmiya Hidemi Goto | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,1: | 3 |
| 14 | Clinical utility of a new endoscopic scoring system for Crohn's disease显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the clinical value of the newly modified Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease(m SES-CD).METHODS:Seventy-six Crohn's disease(CD) patients who underwent transanal double balloon endoscopy(DBE) in our hospital between 2003 and 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. DBE is defined as small intestinal endoscopy using two attached balloons. We included patients with stenosis which hampered passage of the scope and those who underwent DBE with observation for at least 80 cm from the ileocecal valve. Our new m SES-CD assesses the endoscopic activity of two consecutive small intestinal segments located 0-40 cm and 40-80 cm from the ileocecal valve by DBE,in addition to the activity of four colorectal segments. To compare the usefulness of m SES-CD with SES-CD,we similarly divided the patients into two groups according to total m SES-CD score(low disease activity group,< 4; high disease activity group,≥ 4). The clinical value of m SES-CD in predicting clinical outcome in patients with CD was evaluated using the occurrence of surgery after DBE as an endpoint.RESULTS:Median age of the 76 CD patients was 36 years(range,16-71). Thirty-nine patients had stenosis which hampered passage of the DBE to 80 cm on the proximal side from the ileocecal valve. Median evaluable length of small intestine by DBE was 80 cm(range,3-200). A total of 74 patients had one or more small intestinal lesions detected by DBE,of which 62(83.8%) were within 80 cm of the ileocecal valve on the proximal side. Only two patients(2.7%) with proximal-side lesions more than 80 cm from the ileocecal valve did not have lesions within 80 cm. Patients with high m SES-CD scores showed significantly shorter surgeryfree survival than those with low scores(P < 0.05). In contrast,surgery-free survival did not significantly differ between the low and high SES-CD groups(P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis by a Cox proportional hazards model identified m SES-CD as an independent factor for surgery-free survival.CONCLUSION:m SES-CD is useful in evaluating the risk of surgery-free survival in patients with CD. | Kazuhiro Morise Takafumi Ando Osamu Watanabe Masanao Nakamura Ryoji Miyahara Osamu Maeda Kazuhiro Ishiguro Yoshiki Hirooka Hidemi Goto | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,34: | 2 |

| 17 | Decreased accumulation of ultrasound contrast in the liver of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis rat model显示文摘AIM:To investigate the diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) using contrast ultrasonography in the NASH rat model.METHODS:The liver in methionine choline-deficient diet(MCDD) rats,a NASH model constructed by feeding an MCDD,was examined by contrast ultrasonography at weeks 2,4,8,12 and 16,with late phase images of contrast ultrasonography(Kupffer imaging) in which contrast enhancement was achieved by incorporation of a contrast agent by Kupffer cells(KCs),and images were compared to those in rats taking a regular chow.RESULTS:Decrease in contrast enhancement was observed first in MCDD rats at week 2.KCs were counted based on immunohistochemistry,but their numbers were not reduced and it was assumed that attenuation of contrast enhancement was attributable to reduced phagocytic activity of the KCs.CONCLUSION:It is suggested that clinical application of contrast ultrasonography may be valuable for noninvasive diagnosis of NASH. | Yuki Miyata Takeo Miyahara Fuminori Moriyasu | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,37: | 2 |
