| 1 | Expression of heat shock proteins (HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90, GRP78, GRP94) in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinomas and dysplastic nodules显示文摘AIM: Expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is frequently up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which evolves from dysplastic nodule (DN) and early HCC to advanced HCC. However, little is known about the differential expression of HSPs in multistep hepatocarcinogenesis. It was the purpose of this study to monitor the expression of HSPs in multistep hepatocarcinogenesis and to evaluate their prognostic significance in hepatitis B virus (HBV)related HCC.METHODS: Thirty-eight HCC and 19 DN samples were obtained from 52 hepatitis B surface antigen-positive Korean patients. Immunohistochemical and dot immunoblot analyses of HSP27, HSP60, HSP70, HSP90, glucoseregulated protein (GRP)78, and GRP94 were performed and their expression at different stages of HCC development was statistically analyzed.RESULTS: Expression of HSP27, HSP70, HSP90, GRP78, and GRP94 increased along with the stepwise progression of hepatocarcinogenesis. Strong correlation was found only in GRP78 (Spearman's r= 0.802). There was a positive correlation between the expressions of GRP78, GRP94, HSP90, or HSP70 and prognostic factors of HCC. Specifically, the expression of GRP78, GRP94, or HSP90 was associated significantly with vascular invasion and intrahepatic metastasis.CONCLUSION: The expressions of HSPs are commonly up-regulated in HBV-related HCCs and GRP78 might play an important role in the stepwise progression of HBVrelated hepatocarcinogenesis. GRP78, GRP94, and HSP90 may be important prognostic markers of HBV-related HCC, strongly suggesting vascular invasion and intrahepatic metastasis. | Seung Oe Lim Sung Gyoo Park Jun-Hi Yoo Young Min Park Hie-Joon Kim Kee-Taek Jang Jae Won Cho Byung Chul Yoo Gu-Hung Jung Cheol Keun Park | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,14: | 62 |

| 3 | Clinical implications of fatty pancreas:Correlations between fatty pancreas and metabolic syndrome显示文摘AIM:To investigate the clinical implications of lipid deposition in the pancreas(fatty pancreas). METHODS:The subjects of this study were 293 patients who had undergone abdominal computed tomography(CT)and sonography.Fatty pancreas was diagnosed by sonographic findings and subdivided into mild,moderate,and severe fatty pancreas groups comparing to the retroperitoneal fat echogenicity. RESULTS:Fatty pancreas was associated with higher levels for visceral fat,waist circumference,aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein,free fatty acid,γ-GTP,insulin,and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)than the control group(P<0.05).HOMAIR,visceral fat,triglyceride,and ALT also tended to increase with the degree of fat deposition in the pancreas on sonography.In a multivariate logistic regression analysis,HOMA-IR,visceral fat,and ALT level were independently related to fatty pancreas after adjustment for age,body mass index,and lipid profile.The incidence of metabolic syndrome in the fatty pancreas group was significantly higher than in the control group,and the numbers of metabolic syndrome parameters were significantly higher in the fatty pancreas group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Sonographic fatty pancrease showed higher insulin resistance,visceral fat area,triglyceride, and ALT levels than normal pancreases.Fatty pancreas also showed a strong correlation with metabolic syndrome. | Jun Seok Lee Sang Heum Kim Dae Won Jun Jee Hye Han Eun Chul Jang Ji Young Park Byung Kwan Son Seong Hwan Kim Yoon Ju Jo Young Sook Park Yong Soo Kim | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,15: | 40 |
| 4 | Anemia after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer:Long-term follow-up observational study显示文摘AIM:To identify the incidence and etiology of anemia after gastrectomy in patients with long-term follow-up after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer.METHODS:The medical records of those patients with early gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative gastrectomy between January 2006 and October 2007 were reviewed.Patients with anemia in the preoperative workup,cancer recurrence,undergoing systemic chemotherapy,with other medical conditions that can cause anemia,or treated during follow up with red cell transfusions or supplements for anemia were excluded.Anemia was defined by World Health Organization criteria(Hb < 12 g/dL in women and < 13 g/dL in men).Iron deficiency was defined as serum ferritin < 20 g/dL.Vitamin B12 deficiency was defined as serum vitamin B 12 < 200 pg/mL.Iron deficiency anemia was defined as anemia with concomitant iron deficiency.Anemia from vitamin B 12 deficiency was defined as megaloblastic anemia(mean cell volume > 100 fL) with vitamin B 12 deficiency.The profile of anemia over 48 mo of follow-up was analyzed.RESULTS:One hundred sixty-one patients with gastrectomy for early gastric cancer were analyzed.The incidence of anemia was 24.5% at 3 mo after surgery and increased up to 37.1% at 48 mo after surgery.The incidence of iron deficiency anemia increased during the follow up and became the major cause of anemia at 48 mo after surgery.Anemia of chronic disease and megaloblastic anemia were uncommon.The incidence of anemia in female patients was significantly higher than in male patients at 12(40.0% vs 22.0%,P = 0.033),24(45.0% vs 25.0%,P = 0.023),36(55.0% vs 28.0%,P = 0.004),and 48 mo(52.0% vs 31.0%,P = 0.022) after surgery.Patients with total gastrectomy showed significantly higher incidence of anemia than patients with subtotal gastrectomy at 48 mo after surgery(60.7% vs 31.3%,P = 0.008).The incidence of iron deficiency was significantly higher in female patients than in male patients at 6(35.4% vs 13.3%,P = 0.002),12(45.8% vs 16.8%,P < 0.001),18(52.1% vs 22.3%,P < 0.001),24(60.4% vs 20.9%,P < 0.001),36(62.5% vs 29.2%,P < 0.001),and 48 mo(66.7% vs 34.7%,P = 0.001) after surgery.CONCLUSION:Anemia was frequent after gastrectomy for early gastric cancer,with iron deficiency being the major cause.Evaluation for anemia including iron status should be performed after gastrectomy and appropriate iron replacement should be considered. | Chul-Hyun Lim Sang Woo Kim Won Chul Kim Jin Soo Kim Yu Kyung Cho Jae Myung Park In Seok Lee Myung-Gyu Choi Kyo-Young Song Hae Myung Jeon Cho-Hyun Park | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,42: | 18 |
| 5 | Tenofovir rescue therapy for chronic hepatitis B patients after multiple treatment failures显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF) for chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients after multiple failures.METHODS:A total of 29 CHB patients who had a suboptimal response or developed resistance to two or more previous nucleoside/nucleotide analogue(NA) treatments were included.Study subjects were treated with TDF alone(n = 13) or in combination with lamivudine(LAM,n = 12) or entecavir(ETV,n = 4) for ≥ 6 mo.Complete virologic response(CVR) was defined as an achievement of serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA level ≤ 60 IU/mL by real-time polymerase chain reaction method during treatment.Safety assessment was based on serum creatinine and phosphorus level.Eleven patients had histories of LAM and adefovir dipivoxil(ADV) treatment and 18 patients were exposed to LAM,ADV,and ETV.Twenty-seven patients(93.1%) were hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg) positive and the mean value of the baseline serum HBV DNA level was 5.5 log IU/mL ± 1.7 log IU/mL.The median treatment duration was 16 mo(range 7 to 29 mo).RESULTS:All the patients had been treated with LAM and developed genotypic and phenotypic resistance to it.Resistance to ADV was present in 7 patients and 10 subjects had a resistance to ETV.One patient had a resistance to both ADV and ETV.The cumulative probabilities of CVR at 12 and 24 mo of TDF containing treatment regimen calculated by the Kaplan Meier method were 86.2% and 96.6%,respectively.Although one patient failed to achieve CVR,serum HBV DNA level decreased by 3.9 log IU/mL from the baseline and the last serum HBV DNA level during treatment was 85 IU/mL,achieving near CVR.No patients in this study showed viral breakthrough or primary non-response during the follow-up period.The cumulative probability of HBeAg clearance in the 27 HBeAg positive patients was 7.4%,12%,and 27% at 6,12,and 18 mo of treatment,respectively.Treatment efficacy of TDF containing regimen was not statistically different according to the presence of specific HBV mutations.History of prior exposure to specific antiviral agents did not make a difference to treatment outcome.Treatment efficacy of TDF was not affected by combination therapy with LAM or ETV.No patient developed renal toxicity and no cases of hypophosphatemia associated with TDF therapy were observed.There were no other adverse events related to TDF therapy observed in the study subjects.CONCLUSION:TDF can be an effective and safe rescue therapy in CHB patients after multiple NA therapy failures. | Yu Jin Kim Dong Hyun Sinn Geum-Youn Gwak Moon Seok Choi Kwang Cheol Koh Seung Woon Paik Byung Chul Yoo Joon Hyeok Lee | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,47: | 16 |

| 7 | Relationship between diversion colitis and quality of life in rectal cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigated the incidence of diversion colitis(DC) and impact of DC symptoms on quality of life(QoL) after ileostomy reversal in rectal cancer.METHODS:We performed a prospective study with 30 patients who underwent low anterior resection and the creation of a temporary ileostomy for the rectal cancer between January 2008 and July 2009 at the Department of Surgery,Korea University Anam Hospital.The participants totally underwent two rounds of the examinations.At first examination,endoscopies,tissue biopsies,and questionnaire survey about the symptom were performed 3-4 mo after the ileostomy creations.At second examination,endoscopies,tissue biopsies,and questionnaire survey about the symptom and QoL were performed 5-6 mo after the ileostomy reversals.Clinicopathological data were based on the histopathological reports and clinical records of the patients.RESULTS:At the first examination,all of the patients presented with inflammation,which was mild in 15(50%) patients,moderate in 11(36.7%) and severe in 4(13.3%) by endoscopy and mild in 14(46.7%) and moderate in 16(53.3%) by histology.At the second examination,only 11(36.7%) and 17(56.7%) patients had mild inflammation by endoscopy and histology,respectively.There was no significant difference in DC grade between the endoscopic and the histological findings at first or second examination.The symptoms detected on the first and second questionnaires were mucous discharge in 12(40%) and 5(17%) patients,bloody discharge in 5(17%) and 3(10%) patients,abdominal pain in 4(13%) and 2(7%) patients and tenesmus in 9(30%) and 5(17%) patients,respectively.We found no correlation between the endoscopic or histological findings and the symptoms such as mucous discharge,bleeding,abdominal pain and tenesmus in both time points.Diarrhea was detected in 9 patients at the second examination;this number correlated with the severity of DC(0%,0%,66.7%,33.3% vs 0%,71.4%,23.8%,4.8%,P = 0.001) and the symptom-related QoL(r =-0.791,P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:The severity of DC is related to diarrhea after an ileostomy reversal and may adversely affect QoL. | Dong Nyoung Son Dong Jin Choi Si Uk Woo Jin Kim Bo Ra Keom Chul Hwan Kim Se Jin Baek Seon Hahn Kim | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,4: | 14 |
| 8 | Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation for the removal of bile duct stones显示文摘Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation(EPLBD)with endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST)has been widely used as the alternative to EST along with endoscopic mechanical lithotripsy(EML)for the removal of large or difficult bile duct stones.Furthermore,EPLBD without EST was recently introduced as its simplified alternative technique.Thus,we systematically searched PubMed,Medline,the Cochrane Library and EMBASE,and analyzed all gathered data of EPLBD with and without EST,respectively,by using a single standardized definition,reviewing relevant literatures,published between 2003and June 2013,where it was performed with largediameter balloons(12-20 mm).The outcomes,including the initial success rate,the rate of needs for EML,and the overall success rate,and adverse events were assessed in each and compared between both of two procedures:'EPLBD with EST'and'EPLBD without EST'.A total of 2511 procedures from 30 published articles were included in EPLBD with EST,while a total of413 procedures from 3 published articles were included in EPLBD without EST.In the results of outcomes,the overall success rate was 96.5%in EPLBD with EST and97.2%in EPLBD without EST,showing no significant difference between both of them.The initial success rate(84.0%vs 76.2%,P<0.001)and the success rate of EPLBD without EML(83.2%vs 76.7%,P=0.001)was significantly higher,while the rate of use of EML was significantly lower(14.1%vs 21.6%,P<0.001),in EPLBD with EST.The rate of overall adverse events,pancreatitis,bleeding,perforation,other adverse events,surgery for adverse events,and fatal adverse events were 8.3%,2.4%,3.6%,0.6%,1.7%,0.2%and 0.2%in EPLBD with EST and 7.0%,3.9%,1.9%,0.5%,0.7%,0%and 0%in EPLBD without EST,respectively,showing no significant difference between both of them.In conclusion,recent accumulated results of EPLBD with or even without EST suggest that it is a safe and effective procedure for the removal of large or difficult bile duct stones without any additional risk of severe adverse events,when performed under appropriate guidelines. | Jin Hong Kim Min Jae Yang Jae Chul Hwang Byung Moo Yoo | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,46: | 12 |
| 9 | Preoperative colonoscopy through the colonic stent in patients with colorectal cancer obstruction显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the feasibility of a preoperative colonoscopy through a self-expendable metallic stent(SEMS)and to identify the factors that affect complete colonoscopy.METHODS:A total of 48 patients who had SEMS placement because of acute malignant colonic obstruction underwent preoperative colonoscopy.After effective SEMS placement,patients who showed complete resolution of radiological findings and clinical signs of acute colon obstruction underwent a standard bowel preparation.Preoperative colonoscopy was then performed using a standard colonoscope.If the passage of colonoscope was not feasible gastroscope was used.After colonoscopy,cecal intubation time,grade of bowel preparation,tumor location,stent location,presence of synchronous polyps or cancer,damage to colonoscopy and bleeding,and stent migration after colonoscopy were recorded.RESULTS:Complete evaluation with colonoscope was possible in 30 patients(62.5%).In this group,adenoma was detected in 13 patients(43.3%).The factors that affected complete colonoscopy were also analyzed:Tumor location at an angle;stent placement at an angle;and stent expansion diameter,which affected complete colonoscopy significantly.However in multivariate analysis,stent expansion diameter was the only significant factor that affected complete colonoscopy.Complete evaluation using additional gastroscope was feasible in 42 patients(87.5%).CONCLUSION:Preoperative colonoscopy through the colonic stent using only conventional colonoscope was unfavorable.The narrow expansion diameter of the stent may predict unfavorable outcome.In such a case,using small caliber scope should be considered and may expect successful outcome. | Jin Su Kim Kang Moon Lee Sang Woo Kim Eun Jung Kim Chul Hyun Lim Seong Taek Oh Myung Gyu Choi Kyu Yong Choi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,30: | 11 |

| 11 | Effect of focal laser photocoagulation in eyes with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy显示文摘AIM:To report the effect of focal laser photocoagulation on both the severity of hard exudates(HEs) and the rate of disease progression in eyes with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR).METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 33 patients(60 eyes) who had been diagnosed with mild to moderate NPDR between January 2006 and December 2012.The patients were divided into 2 groups:Group A(38 eyes in 20 patients treated using focal laser photocoagulation) and Group B(treated without laser photocoagulation).We also reviewed the best corrected visual acuity measurements,and the fundus photographs taken at both baseline and follow-up visits. RESULTS: In Group A,HE severity grade had decreased significantly from baseline to the final visit(P <0.05),but this was not the case in Group B(P =0.662).The cumulative probabilities of retinopathy progression at 5y were 26% in Group A and 30% in Group B.KaplanMeier survival curves showed no significant difference between the groups with regard to retinopathy progression(P =0.805).CONCLUSION: Focal laser photocoagulation reduced the levels of HEs in eyes with mild to moderate NPDR.However,the treatment was not able to decelerate the progression of DR. | Seong Hun Jeong Jung Il Han Sung Won Cho Dong Won Lee Chul Gu Kim Tae Gon Lee Jong Woo Kim | 2016 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2016,9,10: | 10 |
| 12 | Ischemic colitis associated with intestinal vasculitis: Histological proof in systemic lupus erythematosus显示文摘I schemic colitis is an uncommon complication in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In previously reported cases of colitis caused by SLE, intestinal vasculitis is implicated as the causative process, but is rarely confirmed histologically. We described a case of a 32-year-old man with increased activity of SLE, who presented with hematochezia and abdominal pain due to ischemic colitis with small vessel vasculitis which was proven by sigmoidoscopic biopsy. The clinical course of the patient was improved after steroid and conservative management. | Jeong Rok Lee Chang Nyol Paik Jin Dong Kim Woo Chul Chung Kang-Moon Lee | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,22: | 10 |

| 14 | Dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex PCR using tissue samples in rapid urease test in the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether tissue samples processed by the rapid urease test(RUT)kit are suitable for dualpriming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction(DPO-PCR)to detect Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori).METHODS:A total of 54 patients with specific gastrointestinal symptom were enrolled in this study.During endoscopy,gastric biopsy specimens were taken for histology,RUT,and DPO-PCR.DPO-PCR was performed on gastric biopsy samples and tissue samples that were analyzed by RUT at 2 separate institutes.In detecting H.pylori,the concordance rate of the DPO-PCR tests between the tissue samples that had been submitted to RUT and the gastric biopsy samples was investigated.RESULTS:H.pylori co-occurred with 76.0%(19/25)of gastric ulcers,64.3%(9/14)of duodenal ulcers,and 33.3%(4/12)of gastritis cases.H.pylori infection was found in 100%(3/3)of the patients with both gastric and duodenal ulcers.Overall,H.pylori was detected in 35 of 54(64.8%)patients.The diagnostic sensitivities of histology,RUT,and DPO-PCR were85.7%(30/35),74.3%(26/35),and 97.1%(34/35),respectively(P=0.02).The positive predictive value(PPV)of DPO-PCR was 94.4%,whereas the negative predictive value(NPV)was 94.7%.In the rapid urease test(CLOtest)-negative cases,the frequency of positive DPO-PCR and histologic results was 20.0%(7/35).The concordance rate of the DPO-PCR tests between the tissue samples from the RUT kit and the gastric biopsy samples was 94.4%(51/54).The rate of DPOPCR and silver stain positivity in the RUT-negative cases was 20.0%(7/35).CONCLUSION:In diagnosing H.pylori infection,DPO-PCR can be performed on tissue samples that have been processed by the RUT kit.Particularly,in patients with RUT-negative results,DPO-PCR on these tissue samples could be helpful in detecting of H.pylori infection. | Woo Chul Chung Sung Hoon Jung Jung Hwan Oh Tae Ho Kim Dae Young Cheung Byung Wook Kim Sung Soo Kim Jin Il Kim Eun Young Sin | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,21: | 10 |
| 15 | Pretreated quercetin protects gerbil hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons from transient cerebral ischemic injury by increasing the expression of antioxidant enzymes显示文摘Quercetin(QE; 3,5,7,3′,4′-pentahydroxyflavone), a well-known flavonoid, has been shown to prevent against neurodegenerative disorders and ischemic insults. However, few studies are reported regarding the neuroprotective mechanisms of QE after ischemic insults. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of QE on ischemic injury and the expression of antioxidant enzymes in the hippocampal CA1 region of gerbils subjected to 5 minutes of transient cerebral ischemia. QE was pre-treated once daily for 15 days before ischemia. Pretreatment with QE protected hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons from ischemic injury, which was confirmed by neuronal nuclear antigen immunohistochemistry and Fluoro-Jade B histofluorescence staining. In addition, pretreatment with QE significantly increased the expression levels of endogenous antioxidant enzymes Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase, Mn superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons of animals with ischemic injury. These findings demonstrate that pretreated QE displayed strong neuroprotective effects against transient cerebral ischemia by increasing the expression of antioxidant enzymes. | Bai Hui Chen Joon Ha Park Ji Hyeon Ahn Jeong Hwi Cho In Hye Kim Jae Chul Lee Moo-Ho Won Choong-Hyun Lee In Koo Hwang Jong-Dai Kim Il Jun Kang Jun Hwi Cho Bich Na Shin Yang Hee Kim Yun Lyul Lee Seung Min Park | 2017 | Neural Regeneration Research2017,12,2: | 9 |
| 16 | Overview of single-port laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancers: Past, present, and the future显示文摘Single-port laparoscopic surgery(SPLS)is implemented through a tailored minimal single incision through which a number of laparoscopic instruments access.Introduction of operation-customized port system,utilization of a camera without a separate external light,and instruments with different lengths has brought the favorable environment for SPLS.However,performing SPLS still creates several hardships compared to multiport laparoscopic surgery;a single-port system inevitably leads to clashing of surgical instruments due to crowding.To overcome such difficulties,investigators has developed novel concepts and maneuvers,including the concept of inverse triangulation and the maneuvers of pivoting,spreading out dissection,hanging suture,and transluminal traction.The final destination of SPLS is expected to be a completely seamless operation,maximizing the minimal invasiveness.Specimen extraction through the umbilicus can undermine cosmesis by inducing a larger incision.Therefore,hybrid laparoscopic technique,which combined laparoscopic surgical technique with natural orifice specimen extraction(NOSE)-i.e.,transvaginal or transanal route-,has been developed.SPLS and NOSE seemed to be the best combination in pursuit of minimal invasiveness.In the near future,robotic SPLS with natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery’s way of specimen extraction seems to be pursued.It is expected to provide a completely or nearly complete seamless operation regardless of location of the lesion in the abdomen. | Say-June Kim Byung-Jo Choi Sang Chul Lee | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,4: | 9 |
| 17 | Optic radiation injury in patients with aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a preliminary diffusion tensor imaging report显示文摘Visual field defect is one of the various clinical manifestations in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH). Little is known about the pathogenic mechanism of visual field defect in SAH. In the current study, we investigated the diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) finding of the optic radiation in patients with SAH following rupture of a cerebral artery aneurysm. We recruited 21 patients with aneurismal SAH(12 males, 9 females, mean age, 52.67 years; range, 41–68 years) who showed no definite lesion along the visual pathway. Twenty-one age-and sex-matched normal control subjects were also recruited. DTI data were acquired at an average of 5.9 weeks(range: 3–12 weeks) after onset and reconstruction of the optic radiation was performed using DTI-Studio software. The fractional anisotropy value, apparent diffusion coefficient value,and fiber number of the optic radiation were measured. The fractional anisotropy value of the optic radiation was significantly decreased, and the apparent diffusion coefficient value was significantly increased, in patients with aneurismal SAH than in normal control subjects. However, there was no significant difference in the fiber number of the optic radiation between patients with aneurismal SAH and normal control subjects. The decrement of fractional anisotropy value and increment of apparent diffusion coefficient value of the optic radiation in patients with aneurismal SAH suggest optic radiation injury. Therefore, we recommend a thorough evaluation for optic radiation injury in patient with aneurismal SAH. | Sung Ho Jang Chul Hoon Chang Young Jin Jung Seong Ho Kim Jeong Pyo Seo | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,3: | 9 |
| 18 | H pylori eradication:A randomized prospective study of triple therapy with or without ecabet sodium显示文摘AIM: To investigate whether adding ecabet sodium to the standard triple therapy for H pylori infection improve eradication rate. METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-seven H pylori-infected patients were randomly assigned to standard triple therapy (group A, n = 129) or triple therapy plus ecabet sodium (group B, n = 128). Successful eradication was defined as a negative 13C-urea breath test 6-8 wk after completion of treatment. RESULTS: After completion of therapy, 194/257 patients showed negative 13C-urea breath test results. According to intention-to-treat analysis, the infection was eradicated in 93/129 (72.1%) patients in group A and 101/128 (78.9%) in group B (P = 0.204). Per-protocol analysis showed successful eradication in 93/118 (78.8%) patients from group A and 101/114 (88.6%) from group B (P = 0.044). There were no significant differences in the side effects experienced by the patients in the two treatment groups. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the addition of ecabet sodium improves the efficacy of the standard triple therapy for H pylori. | Hyung Wook Kim Gwang Ha Kim Jong Yun Cheong Ung Suk Yang Seung Keun Park Chul Soo Song Dae Hwan Kang Geun Am Song | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,6: | 9 |
| 19 | Trends in the incidence of cryptorchidism and hypospadias of registry-based data in Korea: a comparison between industrialized areas of petrochemical estates and a non-industrialized area显示文摘这研究试图在朝鲜在 cryptorchidism 和 hypospadias 的全国性的发生代表最近的趋势,并且决定是否有在发生的空间异质的证据。发生在一张人口在实时出生以后在开始的 4 年期间作为最新诊断的病人(男性) 的数字被计算,全国地并且地区性(一个非工业化的区域(Chuncheon ) 和石油化学的房地产(Yeocheon 和 Ulsan )) ,在 2000 和 2005 之间。为新病人的数据(分子) 从国家健康保险评论机构被获得,并且为居民登记人口的数据(分母) 从国家统计办公室。在 2000 和 2005 之间, cryptorchidism 和 hypospadias 的国家发生每 10 从 5.01 ~ 17.43 有一个增加的趋势; 000 个人并且从 1.40 ~ 3.28 每 10 000 个人分别地。cryptorchidism 的发生在 Yeocheon 是显著地更高的(在整个学习时期) 并且在 Ulsan (2001, 2002, 2004 和 2005 ) 比国家发生,而在 Chuncheon 的发生在 2001 和 2002 是显著地更低的。因为盒子的小数字,每年并且地区性比较 hypospadias 的率是困难的。在结论, cryptorchidism 的发生最近在朝鲜增加了。石油化学的房地产, Yeocheon 和 Ulsan,比国家发生有 cyptorchidism 的显著地更高的发生,它建议进一步的学习被需要在异例的发生获得趋势的一个更精确的评价并且证实在 petrochemicals 和异例之间的协会。 | Sae Chul Kim Su Kyoung Kwon Yeon Pyo Hong | 2011 | Asian Journal of Andrology2011,13,5: | 9 |
| 20 | High level of preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is a poor survival predictor in gastric cancer显示文摘AIM:To assess the clinical significance and the prognostic value of preoperative serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA 19-9)level in gastric cancer.METHODS:Between January 2005 and December2006,1960 patients underwent surgery for histologically confirmed gastric cancer.Of these,163 patients had elevated serum levels of CA 19-9 preoperatively,and1628 patients had normal serum levels of CA 19-9 preoperatively.For this study,325 patients were selected from the group of 1628 patients by age,sex,and cancer stage to serve as controls.Statistically significant differences in survival rates were calculated using the log-rank test.A P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant and was determined using SAS software.RESULTS:The baseline characteristics showed some differences between the two groups with regard to histology.Overall survival(OS)in the elevated and nonelevated group was 37.90 and 68.67 mo,respectively(P<0.001).N stage(P=0.001)was a significant predictor of disease-free survival by multivariate analysis.Also,N stage(P<0.001),and the presence of peritoneal metastasis(P<0.001)remained independent factors in predicting OS by multivariate analysis.Additionally,preoperative serum CA 19-9 levels were significantly associated with OS in univariate(P=0.009)and multivariate(P=0.021)analyses.CONCLUSION:Serum CA 19-9 can be considered an independent prognostic factor in predicting OS in patients anticipating surgery for gastric cancer. | A Ra Choi Jun Chul Park Jie-Hyun Kim Sung Kwan Shin Sang Kil Lee Yong Chan Lee Jae Bock Chung | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,32: | 8 |
