| 1 | Management of entecavir-resistant chronic hepatitis B with adefovir-based combination therapies显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the long-term efficacy adefovir(ADV)-based combination therapies in entecavir(ETV)-resistant chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients. METHODS: F i fty CHB pat ient s wi t h genotypic resistance to ETV at 13 medical centers in South Korea were included for the analysis. All the patients received rescue therapy with the combination of ADV plus ETV(ADV/ETV,n = 23) or ADV plus lamivudine(LMV)(ADV/LMV,n = 27) for more than 12 mo. Patients were monitored at least every 3-4 mo during ADV-based combination therapy by clinical examination as well as biochemical and virological assessments. Hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA levels were measured by realtime PCR and logarithmically transformed for analysis. Cumulative rates of virologic response(VR; HBV DNA < 20 IU/m L) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method,and the difference was determined by a logrank test. Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify independent risk factors significantly associated with short-term and long-term VR,respectively.RESULTS: Baseline median HBV DNA levels were 5.53(2.81-7.63) log10 IU/m L. The most commonly observed ETV genotypic mutation sites were rt184 and rt202. Patients were treated for a median of 27(12-45) mo. Overall,cumulative VR rates at 6,12,24,and 36 mo were 26%,36%,45%,and 68%,respectively. Patients treated with the ADV/ETV combination showed higher cumulative VR rates(35%,43%,65%,and 76%,respectively) than those with the ADV/LAM combination(18%,30%,30%,and 62%,respectively; P = 0.048). In the multivariate analysis,low baseline HBV DNA levels(< 5.2 log10 IU/m L) and initial virologic response at 3 mo(IVR-3; HBV DNA < 3.3 log10 IU/m L after 3 mo) were independent predictive factors for VR. Patients with favorable predictors achieved cumulative VR rates up to 90% at 36 mo. During the same period,the cumulative incidence of virologic breakthrough was as low as 6% in patients with the both favorable predictors.CONCLUSION: If tenofovir is not available,ADV/ETV combination could be considered in ETV-resistant patients with low HBV DNA titers,and may becontinued if IVR-3 is achieved. | Hyoung Su Kim Hyung Joon Yim Myoung Kuk Jang Ji Won Park Sang Jun Suh Yeon Seok Seo Ji Hoon Kim Bo Hyun Kim Sang Jong Park Sae Hwan Lee Sang Gyune Kim Young Seok Kim Jung Il Lee Jin-Woo Lee In Hee Kim Tae Yeob Kim Jin-Wook Kim Sook-Hyang Jeong Young Kul Jung Hana Park Seong Gyu Hwang | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,38: | 13 |
| 2 | Plasma levels of acylated ghrelin in patients with functional dyspepsia显示文摘AIM:To investigate the relationship between plasma acylated ghrelin levels and the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia.METHODS:Twenty-two female patients with functional dyspepsia and twelve healthy volunteers were recruited for the study.The functional dyspepsia patients were each diagnosed based on the Rome Ⅲ criteria.Eligible patients completed a questionnaire concerning the severity of 10 symptoms.Plasma acylated ghrelin levels before and after a meal were determined in the study participants using a commercial human acylated enzyme immunoassay kit;electrogastrograms were performed for 50 min before and after a standardized 10-min meal containing 265 kcal.RESULTS:There were no significant differences in plasma acylated ghrelin levels between healthy volunteers and patients with functional dyspepsia.However,in patients with functional dyspepsia,there was a negative correlation between fasting plasma acylated ghrelin levels and the sum score of epigastric pain(r =-0.427,P = 0.047) and a positive correlation between the postprandial/fasting plasma acylated ghrelin ratio and the sum score of early satiety(r = 0.428,P =0.047).Additionally,there was a negative correlation between fasting acylated ghrelin plasma levels and fasting normogastria(%)(r =-0.522,P = 0.013).Interestingly,two functional dyspepsia patients showed paradoxically elevated plasma acylated ghrelin levels after the meal.CONCLUSION:Abnormal plasma acylated ghrelin levels before or after a meal may be related to several of the dyspeptic symptoms seen in patients with functional dyspepsia. | Yeon Soo Kim Joon Seong Lee Tae Hee Lee Joo Young Cho Jin Oh Kim Wan Jung Kim Hyun Gun Kim Seong Ran Jeon Hoe Su Jeong | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,18: | 12 |

| 4 | Temperature Distribution and Thermal Stresses in Various Conditions of Moving Heating Source during Line Heating Process显示文摘Line heating method is widely used to manufacture curved surfaces in ship building. The main factors governing the quality of the manufactured products are the moving velocity of the heating source, heating strength, and heating ways. In this study, the temperature distributions of the heated plate were investigated with the condition that the line heating process was automatic. The temperature variations were also investigated with the changes of those three variables. The numerical results showed that the peak temperature decreased as the moving velocity of the heating source increased. It also revealed that the peak temperatures changed linearly with the changes of the heating source. | Yoon Hwan Choi Yeon Won Lee Kwang Choi Deog Hee Doh Kyoung Joon Kim | 2012 | Journal of Thermal Science2012,21,1: | 10 |
| 5 | Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-delta agonist ameliorated inflammasome activation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the inflammasome activation and the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPAR)-δ agonist treatment in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) models.METHODS: Male C57BL/6J mice were classified according to control or high fat diet(HFD) with or without PPAR-δ agonist(GW) over period of 12 wk [control, HFD, HFD + lipopolysaccharide(LPS), HFD + LPS + GW group]. Hep G2 cells were exposed to palmitic acid(PA) and/or LPS in the absence or presence of GW.RESULTS: HFD caused glucose intolerance and hepatic steatosis. In mice fed an HFD with LPS, caspase-1 and interleukin(IL)-1β in the liver were significantly increased. Treatment with GW ameliorated the steatosis and inhibited overexpression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In Hep G2 cells, PA and LPS treatment markedly increased m RNA of several nucleotide-binding andoligomerization domain-like receptor family members(NLRP3, NLRP6, and NLRP10), caspase-1 and IL-1β. PA and LPS also exaggerated reactive oxygen species production. All of the above effects of PA and LPS were reduced by GW. GW also enhanced the phosphorylation of AMPK-α.CONCLUSION: PPAR-δ agonist reduces fatty acidinduced inflammation and steatosis by suppressing inflammasome activation. Targeting the inflammasome by the PPAR-δ agonist may have therapeutic implication for NAFLD. | Hyun Jung Lee Jong Eun Yeon Eun Jung Ko Eileen L Yoon Sang Jun Suh Keunhee Kang Hae Rim Kim Seoung Hee Kang Yang Jae Yoo Jihye Je Beom Jae Lee Ji Hoon Kim Yeon Seok Seo Hyung Joon Yim Kwan Soo Byun | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,45: | 9 |

| 7 | Mismatched effects of receptor interacting protein kinase-3 on hepatic steatosis and inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease显示文摘AIM To validate the effects of receptor interacting protein kinase-3(RIP3) deletion in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) and to clarify the mechanism of action.METHODS Wild-type(WT) and RIP3 knockout(KO) mice werefed normal chow and high fat(HF) diets for 12 wk. The body weight was assessed once weekly. After 12 wk, the liver and serum samples were extracted. The liver tissue expression levels of RIP3, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, protein disulfide isomerase, apolipoprotein-B, X-box binding protein-1, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c, fatty acid synthase, cluster of differentiation-36, diglyceride acyltransferase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), and interleukin-6 were assessed. Oleic acid treated primary hepatocytes from WT and RIP3 KO mice were stained with Nile red. The expression of inflammatory cytokines, including chemokine(C-X-C motif) ligand(CXCL) 1, CXCL2, and TNF-α, in monocytes was evaluated.RESULTS RIP3 KO HF diet fed mice showed a significant gain in body weight, and liver weight, liver to body weight ratio, and liver triglycerides were increased in HF diet fed RIP3 KO mice compared to HF diet fed WT mice. RIP3 KO primary hepatocytes also had increased intracellular fat droplets compared to WT primary hepatocytes after oleic acid treatment. RIP3 overexpression decreased hepatic fat content. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the expression of very-low-density lipoproteins secretion markers(microsomal triglyceride transfer protein, protein disulfide isomerase, and apolipoprotein-B) was significantly suppressed in RIP3 KO mice. The overall NAFLD Activity Score was the same between WT and RIP3 KO mice; however, RIP3 KO mice had increased fatty change and decreased lobular inflammation compared to WT mice. Inflammatory signals(CXCL1/2, TNF-α, and interleukin-6) increased after lipopolysaccharide and pancaspase inhibitor(necroptotic condition) treatment in monocytes. Neutrophil chemokines(CXCL1, and CXCL2) were decreased, and TNF-α was increased after RIP3 inhibitor treatment in monocytes.CONCLUSION RIP3 deletion exacerbates steatosis, and partially inhibits inflammation in the HF diet induced NAFLD model. | Waqar Khalid Saeed Dae Won Jun Kiseok Jang Sang Bong Ahn Ju Hee Oh Yeon Ji Chae Jai Sun Lee Hyeon Tae Kang | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,48: | 7 |
| 8 | Durability of viral response after off-treatment in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the durability in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B patients who discontinued antiviral treatment. METHODS:A total of 48 HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients who were administered nucleoside analogues and maintained virological response for ≥ 6 mo [hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA < 300 copies/mL and HBeAg seroconversion] before cessation of treatment were enrolled between February 2007 and January 2010. The criteria for the cessation of the antiviral treatment were defined as follows:(1) achievement of virological response; and (2) duration of consolidation therapy (≥ 6 mo). After treatment cessation, the patients were followed up at 3-6 mo intervals. The primary endpoint was serologic and virologic recurrence rates after withdrawal of antiviral treatment. Serologic recurrence was defined as reappearance of HBeAg positivity after HBeAg seroconversion. Virologic recurrence was defined as an increase in HBV-DNA level > 104 copies/mL after HBeAg seroconversion with previously undetectable HBV-DNA level. RESULTS:During the median follow-up period of 18.2 mo (range:5.1-47.5 mo) after cessation of antiviral treatment, the cumulative serological recurrence rate was 15 % at 12 mo. The median duration between the cessation of antiviral treatment and serologic recurrence was 7.2 mo (range:1.2-10.9 mo). Of the 48 patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis, 20 (41.6%) showed virological recurrence. The cumulative virologic recurrence rates at 12 mo after discontinuing the antiviral agent were 41%. The median duration between off-treatment and virologic recurrence was 7.6 mo (range:4.3-27.1 mo). The mean age of the virological recurrence group was older than that of the non-recurrence group (46.7 ± 12.1 years vs 38.8 ± 12.7 years, respectively; P = 0.022). Age (> 40 years) and the duration of consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) were significant predictive factors for offtreatment durability in the multivariate analysis [P = 0.049, relative risk (RR) 0.31, 95% CI (0.096-0.998) and P = 0.005, RR 11.29, 95% CI (2.054-65.12), respectively]. Patients with age (≤ 40 years) who received consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) significantly showed durability in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients (P = 0.014). These results suggest that additional treatment for more than 15 mo after HBeAg seroconversion in patients who are ≤ 40 years old may be beneficial in providing a sustained virological response. CONCLUSION:Our data suggest that HBeAg seroconversion is an imperfect end point in antiviral treatment. Long-term consolidation treatment (≥ 15 mo) in younger patients is important for producing better prognosis in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B. | Myeong Jun Song Do Seon Song Hee Yeon Kim Sun Hong Yoo Si Hyun Bae Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon Yong-Han Paik June Sung Lee Hyun Woong Lee Hyung Joon Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,43: | 7 |
| 9 | Outcome of transarterial chemoembolization-based multi-modal treatment in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To investigate the efficacy and safety of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)-based multimodal treatment in patients with large hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).METHODS:A total of 146 consecutive patients were included in the analysis,and their medical records and radiological data were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS:In total,119 patients received TACE-based multi-modal treatments,and the remaining 27 received conservative management.Overall survival(P<0.001)and objective tumor response(P=0.003)were significantly better in the treatment group than in the conservative group.After subgroup analysis,survival benefits were observed not only in the multi-modal treatment group compared with the TACE-only group(P=0.002)but also in the surgical treatment group compared with the loco-regional treatment-only group(P<0.001).Multivariate analysis identified tumor stage(P<0.001)and tumor type(P=0.009)as two independent pre-treatment factors for survival.After adjusting for significant pre-treatment prognostic factors,objective response(P<0.001),surgical treatment(P=0.009),and multi-modal treatment(P=0.002)were identified as independent post-treatment prognostic factors.CONCLUSION:TACE-based multi-modal treatments were safe and more beneficial than conservative management.Salvage surgery after successful downstaging resultedin long-term survival in patients with large,unresectable HCC. | Do Seon Song Soon Woo Nam Si Hyun Bae Jin Dong Kim Jeong Won Jang Myeong Jun Song Sung Won Lee Hee Yeon Kim Young Joon Lee Ho Jong Chun Young Kyoung You Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,8: | 7 |
| 10 | Protective effects of electroacupuncture on acetylsalicylic acid-induced acute gastritis in rats显示文摘AIM: To investigate the protective effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)-induced ulceration in rats. METHODS: We randomly divided 72 rats into three groups including control (administered with distilled water), ASA group (administered 100 mg/kg ASA) and EA group (administered EA + 100 mg/kg ASA). Each rat was fasted for 18 to 24 h before experimentation, and lesion scores, gastric acidity, cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 mRNA levels, and total nitric oxide (NO) concentration were measured. RESULTS: The lesion scores of the EA group were significantly lower than those of the ASA group. Gastric acidity of the ASA and EA groups was reduced compared to the control group. COX-1 and -2 mRNA levels were significantly increased in the EA group as compared to the control and ASA groups, and NO levels were also significantly increased in the EA group as compared to the ASA group. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that EA-mediated protection against ASA-induced ulceration in rats may occur via gastric defense components. | Hye Suk Hwang Kyung-Ju Han Yeon Hee Ryu Eun Jin Yang Yoo Sung Kim Sang Yong Jeong Young-Seop Lee Myeong Soo Lee Sung Tae Koo Sun-Mi Choi | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,8: | 7 |
| 11 | Does immunohistochemical staining have a clinical impact in early gastric cancer conducted endoscopic submucosal dissection?显示文摘AIM: To evaluate clinicopathologic parameters and the clinical significance related lymphovascular invasion (LVI) by immunohistochemical staining (IHCS) in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS: Between May 2005 and May 2010, a total of 348 lesions from 321 patients (mean age 63 ± 10 years, men 74.6%) with early gastric cancer (EGC) who met indication criteria after ESD were analyzed retrospectively. The 348 lesions were divided into the absolute (n = 100, differentiated mucosal cancer without ulcer ≤ 20 mm) and expanded (n = 248) indica-tion groups after ESD. The 248 lesions were divided into four subgroups according to the expanded ESD indication. The presence of LVI was determined by factor Ⅷ-related antigen and D2-40 assessment. We compared LVI IHCS-negative group with LVI IHCSpositive in each group. RESULTS: LVI by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HES) and IHCS were all negative in the absolute group, while was observed in only the expanded groups. The positive rate of LVI by IHCS was higher than that of LVI by HES (n = 1, 0.4% vs n = 11, 4.4%, P = 0.044). LVI IHCS-positivity was observed when the cancer invaded to the mucosa 3 (M3) or submucosa 1 (SM1) levels, with a predominance of 63.6% in the subgroup that included only SM1 cancer (P < 0.01). In a univariate analysis, M3 or SM1 invasion by the tumor was significantly associated with a higher rate of LVI by IHCS, but no factor was significant in a multivariate analysis. There were no cases of tumor recurrence or metastasis during the median 26 mo follow-up. CONCLUSION: EGCs of the absolute group are immunohistochemically stable. The presence of LVI may be carefully examined by IHCS in an ESD expanded indication group with an invasion depth of M3 or greater. | Seong Ran Jeon Joo Young Cho Gene Hyun Bok Tae Hee Lee Hyun Gun Kim Won Young Cho So Young Jin Yeon Soo Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,33: | 6 |
| 12 | Assessment of scoring systems for acute-on-chronic liver failure at predicting short-term mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis显示文摘AIM To assess the performance of proposed scores specific for acute-on-chronic liver failure in predicting shortterm mortality among patients with alcoholic hepatitis.METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 264 patients with clinically diagnosed alcoholic hepatitis from January to December 2013 at 21 academic hospitals in Korea. The performance for predicting short-term mortality was calculated for Chronic Liver FailureSequential Organ Failure Assessment(CLIF-SOFA), CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score(CLIF-C OFs), Maddrey'sdiscriminant function(DF), age, bilirubin, international normalized ratio and creatinine score(ABIC), Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score(GAHS), model for end-stage liver disease(MELD), and MELD-Na.RESULTS Of 264 patients, 32(12%) patients died within 28 d. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of CLIF-SOFA, CLIF-C OFs, DF, ABIC, GAHS, MELD, and MELD-Na was 0.86(0.81-0.90), 0.89(0.84-0.92), 0.79(0.74-0.84), 0.78(0.72-0.83), 0.81(0.76-0.86), 0.83(0.78-0.88), and 0.83(0.78-0.88), respectively, for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-SOFA had no statistically significant differences for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-C OFs was superior to that of DF, ABIC, and GAHS, while comparable to that of MELD and MELD-Na in predicting 28-d mortality. A CLIF-SOFA score of 8 had 78.1% sensitivity and 79.7% specificity, and CLIF-C OFs of 10 had 68.8% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity for predicting 28-d mortality.CONCLUSION CLIF-SOFA and CLIF-C OF scores performed well, with comparable predictive ability for short-term mortality compared to the commonly used scoring systems in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. | Hee Yeon Kim Chang Wook Kim Tae Yeob Kim Do Seon Song Dong Hyun Sinn Eileen L Yoon Young Kul Jung Ki Tae Suk Sang Soo Lee Chang Hyeong Lee Tae Hun Kim Jeong Han Kim Hyung Joon Yim Sung Eun Kim Soon Koo Baik Byung Seok Lee Jae Young Jang Young Seok Kim Sang Gyune Kim Jin Mo Yang Joo Hyun Sohn Heon Ju Lee Seung Ha Park Eun Hee Choi Dong Joon Kim Korean Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Study Group | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,41: | 5 |
| 13 | Hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the prognostic factors and efficacy of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombosis. METHODS: Fifty hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) were treated using hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) via a subcutaneously implanted port. The epirubicin-cisplatin-5-fluorouracil (ECF) chemotherapeutic regimen consisted of 35 mg/m 2 epirubicin on day 1, 60 mg/m 2 cisplatin for 2 h on day 2, and 500 mg/m 2 5-fluorouracil for 5 h on days 1-3. The treatments were repeated every 3 or 4 wk. RESULTS: Three (6%) of the 50 patients achieved a complete response (CR), 13 (26%) showed partial responses (PR), and 22 (44%) had stable disease (SD).The median survival and time to progression were 7 and 2 mo, respectively. After 2 cycles of HAIC, CR was achieved in 1 patient (2%), PR in 10 patients (20%) and SD in 26 patients (52%). Significant pre-treatment prognostic factors were a tumor volume of < 400 cm 3 (P = 0.01) and normal levels of protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist (PIVKA)-Ⅱ (P = 0.022). After 2 cycles of treatment, disease control (CR + PR + SD) (P = 0.001), PVTT response (P = 0.003) and α-fetoprotein reduction of over 50% (P = 0.02) were independent factors for survival. Objective response (CR + PR), disease control, PVTT response, and combination therapy during the HAIC were also significant prognostic factors. Adverse events were tolerable and successfully managed. CONCLUSION: HAIC may be an effective treatment modality for advanced HCC with PVTT in patients with tumors < 400 cm 3 and good prognostic factors. | Do Seon Song Si Hyun Bae Myeong Jun Song Sung Won Lee Hee Yeon Kim Young Joon Lee Jung Suk Oh Ho Jong Chun Hae Giu Lee Jong Young Choi Seung Kew Yoon | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,29: | 5 |
| 14 | Anxiety and depression propensities in patients with acute toxic liver injury显示文摘AIM:To investigate anxiety and depression propensities in patients with toxic liver injury.METHODS:The subjects were divided into three groups:a healthy control group(Group 1,n=125),an acute non-toxic liver injury group(Group 2,n=124),and a group with acute toxic liver injury group caused by noncommercial herbal preparations(Group 3,n=126).These three groups were compared and evaluated through questionnaire surveys and using the Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale(HADS),Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI),Beck Depression Inventory(BDI),and the hypochondriasis scale.RESULTS:The HADS anxiety subscale was 4.9±2.7,5.0±3.0 and 5.6±3.4,in Groups 1,2,and 3,respectively.The HADS depression subscale in Group 3 showed the most significant score(5.2±3.2,6.4±3.4 and 7.2±3.4in Groups 1,2,and 3,respectively)(P<0.01 vs Group 1,P<0.05 vs Group 2).The BAI and BDI in Group 3showed the most significant score(7.0±6.3 and 6.9±6.9,9.5±8.6 and 8.8±7.3,10.7±7.2 and 11.6±8.5in Groups 1,2,and 3,respectively)(BAI:P<0.01 vs Group 1,P<0.05 vs Group 2)(BDI:P<0.01 vs Group1 and 2).Group 3 showed a significantly higher hypochondriasis score(8.2±6.0,11.6±7.5 and 13.1±6.5in Groups 1,2,and 3,respectively)(P<0.01 vs Group 1,P<0.05 vs Group 2).CONCLUSION:Psychological factors that present vulnerability to the temptation to use alternative medicines,such as herbs and plant preparations,are important for understanding toxic liver injury. | Jeong Ill Suh Jeong Kyu Sakong Kwan Lee Yong Kook Lee Jeong Bae Park Dong Joon Kim Yeon Seok SeoDepartment of Internal Medicine Korea University Anam Hospital Korea University College of Medicine Seoul 136-705 South Korea Jae Dong Lee Soon Young Ko Byung Seok Lee Seok Hyun Kim Byung Seok Kim Young Seok Kim Heon Ju Lee In Hee Kim Joo Hyun Sohn Tae Yeob Kim Byung Min Ahn | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,47: | 5 |
| 15 | Combined exercise improves gastrointestinal motility in psychiatric in patients显示文摘AIM To examine the effect of combined exercise on colonic transit time(CTT) in admitted psychiatric patients. METHODS Over a 6-mo period, consecutive in patients with mental illness were recruited from the Somang Hospital Psychiatry Unit. A combined exercise program that included 60 min per day of exercise 3 d per week for 12 wk was performed. Physical fitness and CTT of the patients were measured twice before and twice after the exercise program. CTT was measured using a multiple marker technique with a radio-opaque marker. Changes in the exercising patients' CTT and weight-,cardiovascular-and fitness-related parameters were statistically assessed.RESULTS After the 12-wk combined exercise intervention, decreased intestinal transit time was observed in all CTTs of the exercise group, including the right CTT(exercise: 15.6 ± 15.2 vs 9.2 ± 11.9, control: 13.1 ± 10.4 vs 10.9 ± 18.7), left CTT(exercise: 19.7 ± 23.5 vs 10.4 ± 13.2, control: 19.2 ± 19.0 vs 16.9 ± 19.8), recto-sigmoid CTT(exercise: 14.3 ± 16.7 vs 6.7 ± 7.9, control: 15.0 ± 14.4 vs 19.3 ± 30.3), and total colonic transit time(TCTT)(exercise: 50.2 ± 38.1 vs 27.1 ± 28.0, control: 47.4 ± 34.6 vs 47.3 ± 47.3). After the 12-wk combined exercise period, TCTT was significantly shortened in the exercise group compared with that in the control group. In addition to eating habits, water intake, and fiber intake, the increased physical activity level as a result of the 12-wk combined exercise program reduced the CTT. | Bong Kil Song Yeon Soo Kim Hee Soo Kim Jung-Woo Oh On Lee Joon-Sik Kim | 2018 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2018,6,8: | 5 |

| 17 | Risk factors of biliary intervention by imaging after livingdonor liver transplantation显示文摘AIM:To determine the risk factors of biliary intervention using magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) after living donor liver transplantation(LDLT).METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled 196 patients who underwent right lobe LDLT between 2006 and 2010 at a single liver transplantation center. Direct duct-to-duct biliary anastomosis was performed in all 196 patients. MRCP images routinely taken 1 mo after LDLT were analyzed to identify risk factors for biliary intervention during follow-up, such as retrograde cholangiopancreatography or percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. Two experienced radiologists evaluated the MRCP findings, including the anastomosis site angle on three-dimensional images, the length of the filling defect on maximum intensity projection, bile duct dilatation, biliary stricture, and leakage.RESULTS: Eighty-nine patients underwent biliary intervention during follow-up. The anastomosis site angle [hazard ratio(HR) = 0.48; 95% confidence interval(CI), 0.30-0.75, P < 0.001], a filling defect in the anastomosis site(HR = 2.18, 95%CI: 1.41-3.38,P = 0.001), and biliary leakage(HR = 2.52, 95%CI: 1.02-6.20, P = 0.048) on MRCP were identified in the multivariate analysis as significant risk factors for biliary intervention during follow-up. Moreover, a narrower anastomosis site angle(i.e., below the median angle of 113.3°) was associated with earlier biliary intervention(38.5 ± 4.2 mo vs 62. 1 ± 4.1 mo, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis comparing biliary intervention-free survival according to the anastomosis site angle revealed that lower survival was associated with a narrower anastomosis site angle(36.3% vs 62.0%, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION: The biliary anastomosis site angle in MRCP after LDLT may be associated with the need for biliary intervention. | Soon Kyu Lee Jong Young Choi Dong Myung Yeo Young Joon Lee Seung Kew Yoon Si Hyun Bae Jeong Won Jang Hee Yeon Kim Dong Goo Kim Young Kyoung You | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,7: | 4 |
| 18 | Tacrolimus for children with refractory nephrotic syndrome:a one-year prospective,multicenter,and open-label study of Tacrobell®,a generic formula显示文摘Background:Cyclosporine A and tacrolimus(TAC)are often used as a second-line treatment for children with refractory nephrotic syndrome(NS).This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tacrobell®,a locally produced generic form of TAC.Methods:This study was a one-year prospective,open-label,single-arm,multicenter trial.Fourty-four children with steroid-dependent NS(SDNS)and 33 children with steroid-resistant NS(SRNS)were enrolled.The primary endpoints were defined as the remission rates,whereas the secondary endpoints were recognized as the duration of remission and adverse effects of TAC.Results:After one-year treatment,34(77.3%)of the 44 patients with SDNS were in complete remission,and 6(13.6%)were in partial remission.Nineteen(43.2%)patients did not relapse during the study;for those who did relapse,the mean duration of remission was 4.6±2.9 months.The number of relapse episodes during the study period(0.90 per patient-year)was significantly lower than that in the preceding year(2.8 per patientyear).After treatment for 3 and 6 months,12(36.4%)of the 33 patients with SRNS were in remission,and after treatment for 12 months,the number of patients had increased to 13(39.4%).The mean time to achieve remission was 4.0±3.2 months.After remission(duration,3.7±2.7 months),12(54.5%)of 22 patients relapsed.The fasting blood glucose and blood pressure levels during the therapy were similar to those at the time of study entry.Conclusions:Treatment with Tacrobell®was effective and safe for children with refractory NS.The efficacy of this generic form of TAC was better than that of the original TAC formula. | Eun Mi Yang Sang Taek Lee Hyun Jin Choi Hee Yeon Cho Joo Hoon Lee Hee Gyung Kang Young Seo Park Hae Il Cheong Il-Soo Ha | 2016 | World Journal of Pediatrics2016,12,1: | 4 |
| 19 | Butein effects in colitis and interleukin-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 expression显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effects of butein on inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9), andcolitis in interleukin(IL)-10-/- mice.METHODS: To synchronize colitis, 8- to 10-wk-old IL-10-/- mice were fed pellet-chow containing piroxicam for 2 wk. Subsequently, phosphate-buffered saline or butein(1 mg/kg per day, ip) was injected for 4 wk. Histologic scores, inflammatory cytokines, MMP-9 and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p STAT3) expressions were analyzed in IL-10-/- mice and in Colo 205 cells.RESULTS: Butein reduced the colonic inflammatory score by > 50%. Expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, interferon(IFN)-γ and MMP-9 were decreased in the colons of mice exposed to butein, whereas other inflammatory cytokines(IL-17 A, IL-21 and IL-22) were unchanged. Immunohistochemical staining for p STAT3 and MMP-9 was significantly decreased in the buteintreated groups compared with the controls. Butein inhibited IL-6-induced activation of STAT3 in Colo 205 cells.CONCLUSION: Butein ameliorated colitis in IL-10-/-mice by regulating IL-6/STAT3 and MMP-9 activation. | Sehe Dong Lee Jung Wan Choe Beom Jae Lee Myoung Hee Kang Moon Kyung Joo Ji Hoon Kim Jong Eun Yeon Jong-Jae Park Jae Seon Kim Young-Tae Bak | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,2: | 3 |
| 20 | Combined 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy and clear corneal phacoemulsification for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair显示文摘AIM: To assess the outcomes of combined 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy and clear corneal phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRD) repair.METHODS: This was a retrospective, consecutive,noncomparative, interventional case series of 30 eyes of30 patients who underwent combined sutureless vitrectomy and clear corneal cataract surgery for the repair of RRD. The principal outcome measures were primary anatomical success rate, reasons for redetachment, final visual acuity, and surgical complications.RESULTS: Primary reattachment was achieved in 27eyes(90.0%). The reasons for redetachment(3 eyes, 10%)were incomplete laser retinopexy, persistent chronic subretinal fluid, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy,respectively. The logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution visual acuity(mean±SD) improved from 0.76±0.74 preoperatively to 0. 21 ± 0. 37 6 months' postoperatively(P <0.0001). Postoperative hypotony was not detected,but 1 eye( 3. 3 %) had increased intraocular pressure(30 mm Hg) with spontaneous resolution. No endophthalmitis developed during follow-up. Macular pucker was detected in 3 eyes(10.0%).· CONCLUSION: Combined 23-gauge sutureless vitrectomy and clear corneal phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation for RRD repair was proven safe and effective. It may provide not only the known advantages of conventional combined surgery, but also additional advantages such as less conjunctival fibrosis and the maintenance of stable intraocular pressure with low risks of postoperative hypotony and intraocular pressure elevation. | Hoseok Moon Hee Jin Sohn Dea Yeong Lee Jong Yeon Lee Dong Heun Nam | 2015 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2015,8,1: | 2 |
