| 1 | Assessment of vascular invasion in gastric cancer: A comparative study显示文摘AIM: To evaluate and compare detection of lymphatic and blood vessel invasion (LVI and BVI) by hematox-ylin-eosin (HE) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in gastric cancer specimens, and to correlate with lymph node status. METHODS: IHC using D2-40 (a lymphatic endothelial marker) and CD34 (a pan-endothelial marker) was performed to study LVI and BVI in surgical specimens froma consecutive series of 95 primary gastric cancer cases. The results of the IHC study were compared with the detection by HE using McNemar test and kappa index. The morphologic features of the tumors and the presence of LVI and BVI were related to the presence of lymph node metastasis. A χ2 test was performed to obtain associations between LVI and BVI and other prognostic factors for gastric cancer. RESULTS: The detection rate of LVI was considerably higher than that of BVI. The IHC study identified eight false-positive cases and 13 false-negative cases for LVI, and 24 false-positive cases and 10 false-negative cases for BVI. The average Kappa value determined was moderate for LVI (k=0.50) and low for BVI (k=0.20). Both LVI and BVI were statistically associated with the presence of lymph node metastasis (HE: P=0.001, P=0.013, and IHC: P=0.001, P=0.019). The mor-phologic features associated with LVI were location of the tumor in the distal third of the stomach (P=0.039), Borrmann's macroscopic type (P=0.001), organ inva-sion (P=0.03) and the depth of tumor invasion (P=0.001). The presence of BVI was related only to the depth of tumor invasion (P=0.003). CONCLUSION: The immunohistochemical identification of lymphatic and blood vessels is useful for increasing the accuracy of the diagnosis of vessel invasion and for predicting lymph node metastasis. | Letícia Trivellato Gresta Ismael Alves Rodrigues-Júnior Lúcia Porto Fonseca de Castro Geovanni Dantas Cassali Mnica Maria Demas lva-res Cabral | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，24： | 8 |
| 2 | Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for early hepatocellular carcinoma: Risk factors for survival显示文摘AIM: To evaluate outcomes of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) therapy for early hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and identify survival- and recurrence-related factors. METHODS: Consecutive patients diagnosed with early HCC by computed tomography(CT) or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)(single nodule of ≤ 5 cm, or multi-(up to 3) nodules of ≤ 3 cm each) and who underwent RFA treatment with curative intent between January 2010 and August 2011 at the Instituto do Cancer do Estado de S o Paulo, Brazil were enrolled in the study. RFA of the liver tumors(with 1.0 cm ablative margin) was carried out under CT-fluoro scan and ultrasonic image guidance of the percutaneous ablation probes. Procedure-related complications were recorded. At 1-mo post-RFA and 3-mo intervals thereafter, CT and MRI were performed to assess outcomes of complete response(absence of enhancing tissue at the tumor site) or incomplete response(enhancing tissue remaining at the tumor site). Overall survival and diseasefree survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by the log rank test or simple Cox regression. The effect of risk factors on survival was assessed by the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS: A total of 38 RFA sessions were performed during the study period on 34 patients(age in years: mean, 63 and range, 49-84). The mean follow-up time was 22 mo(range, 1-33). The study population showed predominance of male sex(76%), less severe liver disease(Child-Pugh A, n = 26; Child-Pugh B, n = 8), and single tumor(65%). The maximum tumor diameters ranged from 10 to 50 mm(median, 26 mm). The initial(immediately post-procedure) rate of RFAinduced complete tumor necrosis was 90%. The probability of achieving complete response was significantly greater in patients with a single nodule(vs patients with multi-nodules, P = 0.04). Two patients experienced major complications, including acute pulmonary edema(resolved with intervention) and intestinal perforation(led to death). The 1- and 2-year overall survival rates were 82% and 71%, respectively. Sex, tumor size, initial response, and recurrence status influenced survival, but did not reach the threshold of statistical significance. Child-Pugh class and the model for end-stage liver disease score were identified as predictors of survival by simple Cox regression, but only Child-Pugh class showed a statistically significant association to survival in multiple Cox regression analysis(HR = 15; 95%CI: 3-76 mo; P = 0.001). The 1-and 2-year cumulative disease-free survival rates were 65% and 36%, respectively. CONCLUSION: RFA is an effective therapy for local tumor control of early HCC, and patients with preserved liver function are the best candidates. | Luciana Kikuchi Marcos Menezes Aline L Chagas Claudia M Tani Regiane SSM Alencar Marcio A Diniz Venncio AF Alves Luiz Augusto Carneiro D’Albuquerque Flair José Carrilho | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014，20，6： | 5 |
| 3 | Appropriateness of outpatient gastrointestinal endoscopy in a non-academic hospital显示文摘AIM:To assess the appropriate use and the diagnostic yield of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy in this subgroup of patients.METHODS:In total,789 consecutive outpatients referred for gastrointestinal(GI) endoscopy [381 for esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) and 408 for colonoscopy] were prospectively enrolled in the study.The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(ASGE) guidelines were used to assess the relationship between appropriateness and the presence of relevant endoscopic f indings.RESULTS:The overall inappropriate rate was 13.3%.The indications for EGD and colonoscopy were,respectively,appropriate in 82.7% and 82.6% of the exams,uncertain in 5.8% and 2.4% and inappropriate in 11.5% and 15%.The diagnostic yield was signif icant higher forEGDs and colonoscopies judged appropriate and uncertain when compared with those considered inappropriate(EGD:36.6% vs 36.4% vs 11.4%,P = 0.004;Colonoscopy:24.3% vs 20.0% vs 3.3%,P = 0.001).Of the 25 malignant lesions detected,all but one was detected in exams judged appropriate or uncertain.CONCLUSION:This study shows a good adherence to ASGE guidelines by the referring physicians and a significant increase of the diagnostic yield in appropriate examinations,namely in detecting neoplastic lesions.It underscores the importance that the appropriateness of the indication assumes in assuring high-quality GI endoscopic procedures. | Joo Mangualde Marie I Cremers Ana M Vieira Ricardo Freire lia Gamito Cristina Lobato Ana L Alves Fátima Augusto Ana P Oliveira | 2011 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy2011，3，10： | 2 |
| 4 | Murine model to study brain,behavior and immunity during hepatic encephalopathy显示文摘AIM:To propose an alternative model of hepatic encephalopathy(HE) in mice,resembling the human features of the disease.METHODS:Mice received two consecutive intraperitoneal injections of thioacetamide(TAA) at low dosage(300 mg/kg).Liver injury was assessed by serum transaminase levels(ALT) and liver histology(hematoxylin and eosin).Neutrophil infiltration was estimated by confocal liver intravital microscopy.Coagulopathy was evaluated using prolonged prothrombin and partial thromboplastin time.Hemodynamic parameters were measured through tail cuff.Ammonia levels were quantified in serum and brain samples.Electroencephalography(EEG) and psychomotor activity score were performed to show brain function.Brain edema was evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging.RESULTS:Mice submitted to the TAA regime developed massive liver injury,as shown by elevation of serum ALT levels and a high degree of liver necrosis.An intense hepatic neutrophil accumulation occurred in response to TAA-induced liver injury.This led to mice mortality and weight loss,which was associated with severe coagulopathy.Furthermore,TAA-treated mice presented with increased serum and cerebral levels of ammonia,in parallel with alterations in EEG spectrum and discrete brain edema,as shown by magnetic resonance imaging.In agreement with this,neuropsychomotor abnormalities ensued 36 h after TAA,fulfilling several HE features observed in humans.In this context of liver injury and neurological dysfunction,we observed lung inflammation and alterations in blood pressure and heart rate that were indicative of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.CONCLUSION:In summary,we describe a new murine model of hepatic encephalopathy comprising multiple features of the disease in humans,which may provide new insights for treatment. | Lindisley Ferreira Gomides Pedro Elias Marques Bruno Engler Faleiros Rafaela Vaz Pereira Sylvia Stella Amaral Thais Reis Lage Gustavo Henrique Souza Resende Patricia Alves Maia Guidine Giselle Foureaux Fabíola Mara Ribeiro Fabiana Paiva Martins Marco Antonio Peliky Fontes Anderson José Ferreira Remo Castro Russo Mauro Martins Teixeira Márcio Flávio Moraes Antonio Lúcio Teixeira Gustavo Batista Menezes | 2014 | World Journal of Hepatology2014，6，4： | 2 |

| 8 | Simultaneous follow-up of mouse colon lesions by colonoscopy and endoluminal ultrasound biomicroscopy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the potential use of colonoscopy and endoluminal ultrasonic biomicroscopy(eUBM)to track the progression of mouse colonic lesions.METHODS:Ten mice were treated with a single azoxy-methane intraperitoneal injection(week 1)followed by seven days of a dextran sulfate sodium treatment in their drinking water(week 2)to induce inflammationassociated colon tumors.eUBM was performed simultaneously with colonoscopy at weeks 13,17-20 and21.A 3.6-F diameter 40 MHz mini-probe catheter was used for eUBM imaging.The ultrasound mini-probe catheter was inserted into the accessory channel of a pediatric flexible bronchofiberscope,allowing simultaneous acquisition of colonoscopic and eUBM images.During image acquisition,the mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and kept in a supine position over a stainless steel heated surgical waterbed at 37℃.Both eUBM and colonoscopic images were captured and stored when a lesion was detected by colonoscopy or when the eUBM image revealed a modified colon wall anatomy.During the procedure,the colon was irrigated with water that was injected through a flush port on the mini-probe catheter and that acted as the ultrasound coupling medium between the transducer and the colon wall.Once the acquisition of the last eUBM/colonoscopy section for each animal was completed,the colons were fixed,paraffin-embedded,and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.Colon images acquired at the first time-point for each mouse were compared with subsequent eUBM/colonoscopic images of the same sites obtained in the following acquisitions to evaluate lesion progression.RESULTS:All 10 mice had eUBM and colonoscopic images acquired at week 13(the first time-point).Two animals died immediately after the first imaging acquisition and,consequently,only 8 mice were subjected to the second eUBM/colonoscopy imaging acquisition(at the second time-point).Due to the advanced stage of colonic tumorigenesis,5 animals died after the second time-point image acquisition,and thus,only three were subjected to the third eUBM/colonoscopy imaging acquisition(the third time-point).eUBM was able to detect the four layers in healthy segments of colon:the mucosa(the first hyperechoic layer moving away from the mini-probe axis),followed by the muscularis mucosae(hypoechoic),the submucosa(the second hyperechoic layer)and the muscularis externa(the second hypoechoic layer).Hypoechoic regions between the mucosa and the muscularis externa layers represented lymphoid infiltrates,as confirmed by the corresponding histological images.Pedunculated tumors were represented by hyperechoic masses in the mucosa layer.Among the lesions that decreased in size between the first and third time-points,one of the lesions changed from a mucosal hyperplasia with ulceration at the top to a mucosal hyperplasia with lymphoid infiltrate and,finally,to small signs of mucosal hyperplasia and lymphoid infiltrate.In this case,while lesion regression and modification were observable in the eUBM images,colonoscopy was only able to detect the lesion at the first and second time-points,without the capacity to demonstrate the presence of lymphoid infiltrate.Regarding the lesions that increased in size,one of them started as a small elevation in the mucosa layer and progressed to a pedunculated tumor.In this case,while eUBM imaging revealed the lesion at the first time-point,colonoscopy was only able to detect it at the second time-point.All colonic lesions(tumors,lymphoid infiltrate and mucosal thickening)were identified by eUBM,while colonoscopy identified just76%of them.Colonoscopy identified all of the colonic tumors but failed to diagnose lymphoid infiltrates and increased mucosal thickness and failed to differentiate lymphoid infiltrates from small adenomas.During the observation period,most of the lesions(approximately67%)increased in size,approximately 14%remained unchanged,and 19%regressed.CONCLUSION:Combining eUBM with colonoscopy improves the diagnosis and the follow-up of mouse colonic lesions,adding transmural assessment of the bowel wall. | Rossana C Soletti Kelly Z Alves Marcelo AP de Britto Dyanna G de Matos Mnica Soldan Helena L Borges Joo C Machado | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，44： | 1 |
