| 1 | Long-term result of endoscopic Histoacryl (N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate)injection for treatment of gastric varices显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of endoscopic obliteration with Histoacryl for treatment of gastric variceal bleeding and prophylaxis.METHODS:Between January 1994 and March 2010 at SoonChunHyang University Hospital,a total of 127 patients with gastric varices received Histoacryl injections endoscopically.One hundred patients underwent endoscopic Histoacryl injections because of variceal bleeding,the other 27 patients received such injections as a prophylactic procedure.RESULTS:According to Sarin classification,56 patients were GOV1,61 patients were GOV2 and 10 patients were IGV.Most of the varices were large(F2 or F3,111 patients).The average volume of Histoacryl per each session was 1.7±1.3 cc and mean number of sessions was 1.3±0.6.(1 session-98 patients,2 sessions-25 patients,≥3 sessions-4 patients).Twenty-seven patients with high risk of bleeding(large or fundal or RCS+or Child C) received Histoacryl injection as a primary prophylactic procedure.In these patients,hepatitis B virus was the major etiology of cirrhosis,25 patients showed GOV1 or 2(92.6%)and F2 or F3 accounted for 88.9%(n=24).The rate of initial hemostasis was 98.4%and recurrent bleeding within one year occurred in 18.1%of patients.Successful hemostasis during episodes of rebleeding was achieved in 73.9%of cases.Median survival was 50 mo (95%CI 30.5-69.5).Major complications occurred in 4 patients(3.1%).The rebleeding rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or GOV2 was higher than in those with other conditions.None of the 27 subjects who were treated prophylactically experienced treatment-related complications.Cumulative survival rates of the 127 patients at 6 mo,1,3,and 5 years were 92.1%,84.2%,64.2%,and 45.3%,respectively.The 6 mo cumulative survival rate of the 27 patients treated prophylactically was 75%.CONCLUSION:Histoacryl injection therapy is an effective treatment for gastric varices and also an effective prophylactic treatment of gastric varices which carry high risk of bleeding. | Eun Jung Kang Soung Won Jeong Jae Young Jang Joo Young Cho Sae Hwan Lee Hyun Gun Kim Sang Gyune Kim Young Seok Kim Young Koog Cheon Young Deok Cho Hong Soo Kim Boo Sung Kim | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,11: | 41 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | How good is cola for dissolution of gastric phytobezoars?显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy of cola treatment for gastric phytobezoars,including diospyrobezoars.METHODS:A total of 17 patients(range:48 to 78 years) with symptomatic gastric phytobezoars treated with cola and adjuvant endoscopic therapy were reviewed.Three liters of cola lavage(10 cases) or drink(7 cases) were initially used,and then endoscopic fragmentation was done for the remnant bezoars by using a lithotripsy basket or a polypectomy snare.The overall success of dissolving a gastric phytobezoars with using three liters of cola and the clinical and endoscopic findings were compared retrospectively between four cases of complete dissolution by using only cola and 13 cases of partial dissolution with cola.RESULTS:After 3 L of cola lavage or drinking,a complete dissolution of bezoars was achieved in four patients(23.5%),while 13 cases(76.5%) were only partially dissolved.Phytobezoars(4 of 6 cases) were observed more frequently than diospyrobezoars(0 of 11) in the group that underwent complete dissolution(P = 0.006).Gender,symptom duration,size of bezoar and method of cola administration were not significantly different between the two groups.Twelve of 13 patients with residual bezoars were completely treated with a combination of cola and endoscopic fragmentation.CONCLUSION:The rate of complete dissolution with three liters of cola was 23.5%,but no case of diospyrobezoar was completely dissolved using this method.However,pretreatment with cola may be helpful and facilitate endoscopic fragmentation of gastric phytobezoars. | Beom Jae Lee Jong-Jae Park Hoon Jai Chun Ji Hoon Kim Jong Eun Yeon Yoon Tae Jeen Jae Seon Kim Kwan Soo Byun Sang Woo Lee Jae Hyun Choi Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu Young-Tae Bak | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,18: | 22 |
| 4 | Real time shear wave elastography in chronic liver diseases:Accuracy for predicting liver fibrosis,in comparison with serum markers显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the correlation between liver stiffness measurement(LSM)by real-time shear wave elastography(SWE)and liver fibrosis stage and the accuracy of LSM for predicting significant and advanced fibrosis,in comparison with serum markers.METHODS:We consecutively analyzed 70 patients with various chronic liver diseases.Liver fibrosis was staged from F0 to F4 according to the Batts and Ludwig scoring system.Significant and advanced fibrosis was defined as stage F≥2 and F≥3,respectively.The accuracy of prediction for fibrosis was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic curves.RESULTS:Seventy patients,15 were belonged to F0-F1 stage,20 F2,13 F3 and 22 F4.LSM was increased with progression of fibrosis stage(F0-F1:6.77±1.72,F2:9.98±3.99,F3:15.80±7.73,and F4:22.09±10.09,P<0.001).Diagnostic accuracies of LSM for prediction of F≥2 and F≥3 were 0.915(95%CI:0.824-0.968,P<0.001)and 0.913(95%CI:0.821-0.967,P<0.001),respectively.The cut-off values of LSM for prediction of F≥2 and F≥3 were 8.6kPa with 78.2%sensitivity and 93.3%specificity and10.46 kPa with 88.6%sensitivity and 80.0%specificity,respectively.However,there were no significant differences between LSM and serum hyaluronic acid and typeⅣcollagen in diagnostic accuracy.CONCLUSION:SWE showed a significant correlation with the severity of liver fibrosis and was useful and accurate to predict significant and advanced fibrosis,comparable with serum markers. | Jae Yoon Jeong Tae Yeob Kim Joo Hyun Sohn Yongsoo Kim Woo Kyoung Jeong Young-Ha Oh Kyo-Sang Yoo | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,38: | 19 |

| 6 | Prognostic significance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳcolorectal cancer显示文摘AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR) in patients with colorectal cancer(CRC).METHODS Between April 1996 and December 2010, medical records from a total of 1868 patients with CRC were retrospectively reviewed. The values of simple inflammatory markers including NLR and PLR in predicting the long-term outcomes of these patients were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models.RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 46 mo(interquartile range, 22-73). The estimation of NLR and PLR was based on the time of diagnosis. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, high NLR (≥ 3.0) and high PLR(≥ 160) were independent risk factors predicting poor long-term outcomes in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ CRC. However, high NLR and high PLR were not prognostic factors in patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ CRC.CONCLUSION In this study, we identified that high NLR (≥ 3.0) and high PLR (≥ 160) are useful prognostic factors to predict long-term outcomes in patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ CRC. | Jae Hyun Kim Jun Yeop Lee Hae Koo Kim Jin Wook Lee Sung Gyu Jung Kyoungwon Jung Sung Eun Kim Won Moon Moo In Park Seun Ja Park | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,3: | 16 |
| 7 | Prevalence of clonorchiasis in patients with gastrointestinal disease: A Korean nationwide multicenter survey显示文摘AIM: To investigate prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, and the relation of the infection to hepatobiliary diseases in 26 hospitals in Korea.METHODS: Consecutive patients who had been admitted to the Division of Gastroenterology with gastrointestinal symptoms were enrolled from March to April 2005. Of those who had been diagnosed with clonorchiasis, epidemiology and correlation between infection and hepatobiliary diseases were surveyed by questionnaire.RESULTS: Of 3080 patients with gastrointestinal diseases, 396 (12.9%) had clonorchiasis and 1140 patients (37.2%) had a history of eating raw freshwater fish. Of those with a history of raw freshwater fish ingestion, 238 (20.9%) patients had clonorchiasis. Cholangiocarcinoma was more prevalent in C. sinensis-infected patients than non-infected patients [34/396 (8.6%) vs 145/2684 (5.4%), P = 0.015]. Cholangiocarcinoma and clonorchiasis showed statistically significant positive cross-relation (P = 0.008). Choledocholithiasis, cholecystolithiasis, cholangitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and biliary pancreatitis did not correlate with clonorchiasis.CONCLUSION: Infection rate of clonorchiasis was still high in patients with gastrointestinal diseases in Korea, and has not decreased very much during the last two decades. Cholangiocarcinoma was related to clonorchiasis, which suggested an etiological role for the parasite. | Ho Gak Kim Jimin Han Myung-Hwan Kim Kyu Hyun Cho Im Hee Shin Gwang Ha Kim Jae Seon Kim Jin Bong Kim Tae Nyeun Kim Tae Hyeon Kim Tae Hyo Kim Jae Woo Kim Ji Kon Ryu Young-Soo Moon Jong Ho Moon Sung Jae Park Chan Guk Park Sung-Jo Bang Chang Heon Yang Kyo-Sang Yoo Byung Moo Yoo Kyu Taek Lee Dong Ki Lee Byung Seok Lee Sang Soo Lee Seung Ok Lee Woo Jin Lee Chang Min Cho Young-Eun Joo Gab Jin Cheon Young Woo Choi Jae Bok Chung Yong Bum Yoon | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,1: | 15 |
| 8 | Programmed death ligand-1 expression and its prognostic role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma显示文摘AIM To investigate the expression and prognostic role of programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1) in locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).METHODS A total of 200 patients with ESCC who underwent radical esophagectomy with standard lymphadenectomy as the initial definitive treatment in Seoul National University Hospital from December 2000 to April 2013 were eligible for this analysis. Tissue microarrays were constructed by collecting tissue cores from surgical specimens, and immunostained with antibodies directed against PD-L1, p16, and c-Met. Medical records were reviewed retrospectively to assess clinical outcomes. Patients were divided into two groups by PD-L1 status, and significant differences in clinicopathologic characteristics between the two groups were assessed. RESULTS Tumor tissues from 67 ESCC patients(33.5%) were PDL1-positive. Positive p16 expression was observed in 21 specimens(10.5%). The H-score for c-Met expression was ≥ 50 in 42 specimens(21.0%). Although PDL1-positivity was not significantly correlated with any clinical characteristics including age, sex, smoking/alcoholic history, stage, or differentiation, H-scores for c-Met expression were significantly associated with PDL1-positivity(OR = 2.34, 95%CI: 1.16-4.72, P = 0.017). PD-L1 expression was not significantly associated with a change in overall survival(P = 0.656). In contrast, the locoregional relapse rate tended to increase(P = 0.134), and the distant metastasis rate was significantly increased(HR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.01-2.79, P = 0.028) in patients with PD-L1-positive ESCC compared to those with PD-L1-negative ESCC.CONCLUSION PD-L1 expression is positively correlated with c-Met expression in ESCC. PD-L1 may play a critical role in distant failure and progression of ESCC. | Ryul Kim Bhumsuk Keam Dohee Kwon Chan-Young Ock Miso Kim Tae Min Kim Hak Jae Kim Yoon Kyung Jeon In Kyu Park Chang Hyun Kang Dong-Wan Kim Young Tae Kim Dae Seog Heo | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,37: | 14 |
| 9 | Safety and efficacy of tenofovir in chronic hepatitis B-related decompensated cirrhosis显示文摘AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) as a first-line therapy in decompensated liver disease. METHODS We enrolled 174 chronic hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis patients treated with 300 mg/d TDF at six Korean centers. Of the 174 cirrhosis patients, 57 were assigned to the decompensated cirrhosis group and 117 were assigned to the compensated cirrhosis group. We followed the patients for 12 mo and evaluated clinical outcomes, including biochemical, virological, and serological responses. We also evaluated changes in hepatic and renal function and compared the decompensated and compensated cirrhosis groups. RESULTS The 1-year complete virological response(CVR) and Hepatitis B e antigen(HBe Ag) seroconversion were seen in 70.2% and 14.2% in the decompensated cirrhosis group, respectively. The rates of HBe Ag seroconversion/loss and ALT normalization at month 12 were similar in both groups. TDF treatment was also effective for decreasing the level of hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA in both groups, but CVR was higher in the compensated group(88.9% vs 70.2%, P = 0.005). Tenofovir treatment for 12 mo resulted in improved Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP) and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD) scores in decompensated group(P < 0.001). Of the 57 decompensated patients, 39(68.4%) achieved CTP class A and 27(49.1%) showed improvement in the CTP score of 2 points after 12 mo of TDF. The observed rate of confirmed 0.5 mg/d L increases in serum levels of creatinine in the decompensated and compensated cirrhosis group were 7.0% and 2.5%, respectively(P < 1.000).CONCLUSION TDF therapy in decompensated cirrhosis patients was effective for decreasing HBV DNA levels and improving hepatic function with relatively lower CVR than in compensated cirrhosis. Thus, physicians should carefully monitor not only renal function but also treatment responses when using TDF in decompensated cirrhosis patients. | Soon Kyu Lee Myeong Jun Song Seok Hyun Kim Byung Seok Lee Tae Hee Lee Young Woo Kang Suk Bae Kim Il Han Song Hee Bok Chae Soon Young Ko Jae Dong Lee | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,13: | 14 |
| 10 | Prognostic value of inflammation-based markers in patients with pancreatic cancer administered gemcitabine and erlotinib显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the value of systemic inflammationbased markers as prognostic factors for advanced pancreatic cancer(PC). METHODS: Data from 82 patients who underwent combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and erlotinib for PC from 2011 to 2014 were collected retrospectively. Data that included the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the C-reactive protein(CRP)-to-albumin(CRP/Alb) ratio were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors associated with progression-free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS). RESULTS: The univariate analysis demonstrated the prognostic value of the NLR(P = 0.049) and the CRP/Alb ratio(P = 0.047) in relation to PFS, and a positiverelationship between an increase in inflammation-based markers and a poor prognosis in relation to OS. The multivariate analysis determined that an increased NLR(hazard ratio = 2.76, 95%CI: 1.33-5.75, P = 0.007) is an independent prognostic factor for poor OS. There was no association between the PLR and the patients' prognoses in those who had received chemotherapy that comprised gemcitabine and erlotinib in combination. The Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test determined significantly worse outcomes in relation to PFS and OS in patients with an NLR > 5 or a CRP/Alb ratio > 5.CONCLUSION: Systemic inflammation-based markers, including increases in the NLR and the CRP/Alb ratio, may be useful for predicting PC prognoses. | Jae Min Lee Hong Sik Lee Jong Jin Hyun Hyuk Soon Choi Eun Sun Kim Bora Keum Yeon Seok Seo Yoon Tae Jeen Hoon Jai Chun Soon Ho Um Chang Duck Kim | 2016 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2016,8,7: | 12 |

| 12 | Genetically confirmed Wilson disease in a 9-month old boy with elevations of aminotransferases显示文摘Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport caused by alteration of the adenosine triphosphatase 7B gene. It is rare to diagnose WD below the age of three years. Molecular genetic testing is one of the most important diagnostic methods and may confirm the diagnosis in equivocal cases. We report a case of a 9-mo old boy with WD who presented as chronic hepatitis. Genetic analysis showed compound heterozygotes of p.G1186S and c.4006delA. | Joo Whee Kim Jong Hyun Kim Jeong Kee Seo Jae Sung Ko Ju Young Chang Hye Ran Yang Kyung Hoon Kang | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,3: | 11 |
| 13 | Endoscopic features suggesting gastric cancer in biopsy-proven gastric adenoma with high-grade neoplasia显示文摘AIM:To elucidate the endoscopic features that predict the cancer following endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)in patients with high-grade neoplasia(HGN).METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients who underwent ESD of gastric neoplasms from January 2007 to September 2010.ESD was performed in 555 cases involving 550 patients.A total of 112 lesions from 110 consecutive patients were initially diagnosed as HGN without cancer by forceps biopsy,and later underwent ESD.We classified lesions into two groups according to histologic discrepancies between the biopsy and ESD diagnosis.Gastric adenoma in the final diagnosis by ESD specimens were defined as adenoma group.Lesions with coexisting cancer after ESD were defined as cancer group.RESULTS:The mean age was 65.3 years,and 81 patients were male.There was no significant difference in the age or gender distribution between the adenoma(n=52)and cancer(n=60)groups.Thirty-six of these lesions(32.1%)showed histologic concordance between the forceps biopsy and ESD specimens,16(14.3%)showed a downgraded histology(low-grade neoplasia),and 60(53.6%)showed an upgraded histology(cancer).A red color change of the mucosal surface on endoscopy was found in 27/52(51.9%)of cases in the adenoma group and in 46/60(76.7%)of cases in the cancer group(P=0.006).Ulceration of the mucosal surface on endoscopy was found in 5(9.6%)of 52 lesions in the adenoma group and in 17(28.3%)of 60 lesions in the cancer group(P=0.013).In the multivariate analysis,a reddish surface color change and mucosal ulceration were significant predictive factors correlated with cancer after ESD of the HGN by forceps biopsy.CONCLUSION:HGN with a red color change or mucosal ulceration correlated with the presence of gastric cancer.These finding may help to guide the diagnosis and treatment. | Jung Ho Kim Yoon Jae Kim Jungsuk An Jong Joon Lee Jae Hee Cho Kyoung Oh Kim Jun-Won Chung Kwang An Kwon Dong Kyun Park Ju Hyun Kim | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,34: | 10 |

| 15 | Clinical advantages of single port laparoscopic hepatectomy显示文摘AIM To evaluate the clinical advantages of single-port laparoscopic hepatectomy(SPLH) compare to multiport laparoscopic hepatectomy(MPLH).METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 246 patients who underwent laparoscopic liver resection between January 2008 and December 2015 at our hospital. We divided the surgical technique into two groups; SPLH and MPLH. We performed laparoscopic liver resection for both benign and malignant disease. Major hepatectomy such as right and left hepatectomy was also done with sufficient disease-free margin. The operative time, the volume of blood loss, transfusion rate, and the conversion rate to MPLH or open surgery was evaluated. The post-operative parameters included the meal start date after operation, the number of postoperative days spent in the hospital, and surgical complications was also evaluated.RESULTS Of the 246 patients, 155 patients underwent SPLH and 91 patients underwent MPLH. Conversion rate was 22.6% in SPLH and 19.8% in MPLH(P = 0.358). We performed major hepatectomy, which was defined as resection of more than 2 sections, in 13.5% of patients in the SPLH group and in 13.3% of patients in the MPLH group(P = 0.962). Mean operative timewas 136.9 ± 89.2 min in the SPLH group and 231.2 ± 149.7 min in the MPLH group(P < 0.001). The amount of blood loss was 385.1 ± 409.3 m L in the SPLH group and 559.9 ± 624.9 m L in the MPLH group(P = 0.016). The safety resection margin did not show a significant difference(0.84 ± 0.84 cm in SPLH vs 1.04 ± 1.22 cm in MPLH, P = 0.704). Enteral feeding was started earlier in the SPLH group(1.06 ± 0.27 d after operation) than in the MPLH group(1.63 ± 1.27 d)(P < 0.001). The mean hospital stay after operation was non-significantly shorter in the SPLH group than in the MPLH group(7.82 ± 2.79 d vs 7.97 ± 3.69 d, P = 0.744). The complication rate was not significantly different(P = 0.397) and there was no major perioperative complication or mortality case in both groups. CONCLUSION Single-port laparoscopic liver surgery seems to be a feasible approach for various kinds of liver diseases. | Jae Hyun Han Young Kyoung You Ho Joong Choi Tae Ho Hong Dong Goo Kim | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,3: | 9 |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | Expression of protein S100A4 is a predictor of recurrence in colorectal cancer显示文摘AIM: To investigate the prognostic significance of S100A4 expression in colorectal cancer and its correlation with expression of E-cadherin and p53. METHODS: A cohort of archival formalin-fixed paraff inembedded specimens was selected from 127 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical resection between April 2000 and March 2004 at the Department of Surgery, Korea University Guro Hospital. The expression of protein S100A4 was evaluated according to the proportion of positively stained cancer cells. In each case, three core biopsies with a diameter of 2 mm were punched out and positioned in a recipient paraff in array block. Four-μm sections of these tissue array blocks were used for immunohistochemical analysis of protein S100A4, E-cadherin, and p53. Clinicopathological data were based on the original histopathologic reports and clinical records of patients. RESULTS: In normal colorectal mucosa, protein S100A4 immunoreactivity was clearly absent in both cytoplasm and nucleus. However, positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 was detected in 45 (35.4%) of the tumor cases. There was no significant association between positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 and clinicopathological parameters such as tumor differentiation or TNM stage, and also no correlation between the reactivity and E-cadherin or p53 expression. However, positive immunoreactivity of protein S100A4 was found to be associated with tumor recurrence (P = 0.004), and was also associated with significantly worse overall survival in the Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis (P = 0.044). After adjustment for tumor differentiation, tumor depth and nodal status, however, it failed to achieve statistical significance (P = 0.067). CONCLUSION: The expression of protein S100A4 is associated with tumor recurrence and poor overall survival in patients with colorectal cancer. | Jung Myun Kwak Hyun Joo Lee Seon Hahn Kim Han Kyeom Kim Young Jae Mok Young Tae Park Jong Sang Choi Hong Young Moon | 2010 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2010,16,31: | 8 |
| 18 | Evaluation of prognostic factors on recurrence after curative resections for hepatocellular carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To select appropriate patients before surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),especially those with advanced tumors.METHODS:From January 2000 to December 2012,we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 298 patients who had undergone surgical resections for HCC with curative intent at our hospital.We evaluated preoperative prognostic factors associated with histologic grade of tumor,recurrence and survival,especially the findings of pre-operative imaging studies such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography(PETCT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).And then,we established a scoring system to predict recurrence and survival after surgery dividing the patients into two groups based on a tumor size of 5 cm.RESULTS:Of the 298 patients,129(43.3%)developed recurrence during the follow-up period.The 5 year disease free survival and overall survival were 47.0%and58.7%respectively.In multivariate analysis,a serum alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)level of>100 ng/m L and a standardized uptake value(SUV)of PET-CT of>3.5 were predictive factors for histologic grade of tumor,recurrence,and survival.Tumor size of>5 cm and a relative enhancement ratio(RER)calculated from preoperative MRI were also significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis.We established a scoring system to predict prognosis using AFP,SUV,and RER.In those with tumors of>5 cm,it showed predicted both recurrence(P=0.005)and survival(P=0.001).CONCLUSION:The AFP,tumor size,SUV and RER are useful for prognosis preoperatively.An accurate prediction of prognosis is possible using our scoring system in large size tumors. | Jae Hyun Han Dong Goo Kim Gun Hyung Na Eun Young Kim Soo Ho Lee Tae Ho Hong Young Kyoung You | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,45: | 8 |
| 19 | Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm caused by acute idiopathic pancreatitis显示文摘Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm(HAP) is a very rare disease but in cases of complication,there is a very high mortality.The most common cause of HAP is iatrogenic trauma such as liver biopsy,transhepatic biliary drainage,cholecystectomy and hepatectomy.HAP may also occur with complications such as infections or inflammation associated with septic emboli.HAP has been reported rarely in patients with acute pancreatitis.As far as we are aware,there is no report of a case caused by acute idiopathic pancreatitis,particularly.We report a case of HAP caused by acute idiopathic pancreatitis which developed in a 61-year-old woman.The woman initially presented with acute pancreatitis due to unknown cause.After conservative management,her symptoms seemed to have improved.But eight days after admission,abdominal pain abruptly became worse again.Abdominal computed tomography(CT) was rechecked and it detected a new HAP that was not seen in a previous abdominal CT.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) was performed because of a suspicion of hemobilia as a cause of aggravated abdominal pain.ERCP confirmed hemobilia by observing fresh blood clots at the opening of the ampulla and several filling defects in the distal common bile duct on cholangiogram.Without any particular treatment such as embolization or surgical ligation,HAP thrombosed spontaneously.Three months after discharge,abdominal CT demonstrated that HAP in the left lateral segment had disappeared. | Yeon Hwa Yu Joo Hyun Sohn Tae Yeob Kim Jae Yoon Jeong Dong Soo Han Yong Cheol Jeon Min Young Kim | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,18: | 8 |
| 20 | Risk factors of organ failure in cholangitis with bacteriobilia显示文摘AIM: To identify the risk factors for organ failure(OF) in cholangitis with bacteriobilia.METHODS: This study included 182 patients with acute cholangitis who underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage between January 2005 and April 2013. We conducted a retrospective analysis of comprehensive clinical and laboratory data.RESULTS: There were 24 cases(13.2%) of OF and five deaths(2.7%). Bile culture was positive for microbial growth in 130 out of 138(94.2%) patients. In multivariate analysis of 130 patients with positivebile cultures, significant predictive factors for OF were the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase(ESBL) organisms in blood cultures, pre-existing renal dysfunction, and choledocholithiasis as an etiology, with odds ratios of 15.376, 6.319, and 3.573, respectively. We developed a scoring system with a regression coefficient of each significant variable. The OF score was calculated using the following equation:(2.7 × ESBL organisms in blood cultures) +(1.8 × pre-existing renal dysfunction) +(1.3 × choledocholithiasis). This scoring system for predicting OF was highly specific(99.1%) and had a positive predictive value of 86.2%.CONCLUSION: ESBL organisms in blood cultures, preexisting renal dysfunction, and choledocholithiasis are risk factors for OF in cholangitis with bacteriobilia. The OF scoring system may aid clinicians to identify a poor prognosis group. | Jae Min Lee Sang Hyub Lee Kwang Hyun Chung Jin Myung Park Ban Seok Lee Woo Hyun Paik Joo Kyung Park Ji Kon Ryu Yong-Tae Kim | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,24: | 8 |
