| 1 | Management of cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis:Endoscopic and surgical approaches显示文摘Gallstone disease and complications from gallstones are a common clinical problem.The clinical presentation ranges between being asymptomatic and recurrent attacks of biliary pain requiring elective or emergency treatment.Bile duct stones are a frequent condition associated with cholelithiasis.Amidst the total cholecystectomies performed every year for cholelithiasis,the presence of bile duct stones is 5%-15%;another small percentage of these will develop common bile duct stones after intervention.To avoid serious complications that can occur in choledocholithiasis,these stones should be removed.Unfortunately,there is no consensus on the ideal management strategy to perform such.For a long time,a direct open surgical approach to the bile duct was the only unique approach.With the advent of advanced endoscopic,radiologic,and minimally invasive surgical techniques,however,therapeutic choices have increased in number,and the management of this pathological situation has become multidisciplinary.To date,there is agreement on preoperative management and the need to treat cholelithiasis with choledocholithiasis,but a debate still exists on how to cure the two diseases at the same time.In the era of laparoscopy and miniinvasiveness,we can say that therapeutic approaches can be performed in two sessions or in one session.Comparison of these two approaches showed equivalent success rates,postoperative morbidity,stone clearance,mortality,conversion to other procedures,total surgery time,and failure rate,but the onesession treatment is characterized by a shorter hospital stay,and more cost benefits.The aim of this review article is to provide the reader with a general summary of gallbladder stone disease in association with the presence of common bile duct stones by discussing their epidemiology,clinical and diagnostic aspects,and possible treatments and their advantages and limitations. | Pasquale Cianci Enrico Restini | 2021 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2021,27,28: | 46 |
| 2 | 颈动脉粥样硬化疾病的处理美国血管外科学会临床实践指南显示文摘美国血管外科学会(SVS)任命了一个专家委员会制定颈动脉狭窄处理的循证临床指南。在制定临床实践推荐意见过程中,该委员会使用系统评价对当前最件的证据进行了总结,采用GRADE标准对推荐意见的强度(强烈推荐为GRADEI级,一般推荐为GRADEⅡ级)和证据的质量(高、中、低和极低)进行了分级。对于轻度颈动脉狭窄患者(有症状患者狭窄程度〈50%和无症状患者狭窄程度〈60%),推荐进行最佳的内科治疗而非血管重建术(I级推荐,高质量证据)。对于有症状中到重度狭窄患者(狭窄程度≥50%),推荐行颈动脉内膜切除术(CEA)+最佳的内科治疗(I级推荐,高质量证据)。对于围手术期风险高的有症状巾到重度狭窄患者(狭窄程度≥50%),建议采用颈动脉支架置入术作为其替代治疗手段(Ⅱ级推荐,低质量证据)。对于中到重度狭窄的无症状患者(狭窄程度≥60%),只要围手术期风险较低,就推荐行CEA+内科治疗(I级推荐,高质量证据)。对于中到重度狭窄的尢症状患者(狭窄稗度≥60%),不推荐行颈动脉支架置入术(I级推荐,低质量证据)。颈动脉狭窄≥80%但存在CEA高危解剖学风险的患者可能是一个例外。 | Robert W.

| 4 | Human NK cells: surface receptors, inhibitory checkpoints, and translational applications显示文摘NK cells play important roles in innate defenses against viruses and in the control of tumor growth and metastasis.The regulation/induction of NK cell function is mediated by an array of activating or inhibitory surface receptors.In humans,major activating receptors involved in target cell killing are the natural cytotoxicity receptors(NCRs)and NKG2D.Activating receptors recognize ligands that are overexpressed or expressed de novo upon cell stress,viral infection,or tumor transformation.The HLA-class I-specific inhibitory receptors,including KIRs recognizing HLA-class I allotypic determinants and CD94/NKG2A recognizing the class-Ib HLA-E,constitute a fail-safe mechanism to avoid unwanted NK-mediated damage to healthy cells.Other receptors such as PD-1,primarily expressed by activated T lymphocytes,are important inhibitory checkpoints of immune responses that ensure T-cell tolerance.PD-1 also may be expressed by NK cells in cancer patients.Since PD-1 ligand(PD-L1)may be expressed by different tumors,PD-1/PD-L1 interactions inactivate both T and NK cells.Thus,the reliable evaluation of PD-L1 expression in tumors has become a major issue to select patients who may benefit from therapy with mAbs disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interactions.Recently,NKG2A was revealed to be an important checkpoint controlling both NK and T-cell activation.Since most tumors express HLA-E,mAbs targeting NKG2A has been used alone or in combination with other therapeutic mAbs targeting PD-1 or tumor antigens(e.g.,EGFR),with encouraging results.The translational value of NK cells and their receptors is evidenced by the extraordinary therapeutic success of haploidentical HSCT to cure otherwise fatal high-risk leukemias. | Simona Sivori Paola Vacca Genny Del Zotto Enrico Munari Maria Cristina Mingari Lorenzo Moretta | 2019 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2019,16,5: | 33 |
| 5 | Giant appendiceal mucocele: Report of a case and brief review显示文摘Mucocele of the appendix is a rare lesion, characterized by distension of the lumen due to accumulation of mucoid substance. This disease is often asymptomatic and pre-operative diagnosis is rare. If untreated, one type of mucocele may rupture producing a potentially fatal entity known as pseudomyxoma peritonei. The type of surgical treatment is related to the dimensions and to histology of the mucocele. Appendectomy is used for simple mucocele or for cystadenoma. Right hemi-colectomy is recommended for cystadenocarcinoma. In this paper, we report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a mobile, painless mass in the right lower quadrant of abdomen caused by a giant appendiceal mucocele. Imaging showed a large, tubular,cystic structure extending below from the inferior wall of the cecum. Surgery revealed a giant retro-cecal appendix measuring 17 cm in length and 4 cm in diameter. The final pathologic diagnosis was mucocele caused by mucinous cystadenoma. | Bernardino Rampone Franco Roviello Daniele Marrelli Enrico Pinto | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,30: | 23 |
| 6 | Incidence of gallstone disease in Italy:Results from a multicenter,population-based Italian study (the MICOL project)显示文摘AIM:To evaluate gallstone incidence and risk factors in a large population-based study. METHODS: Gallstone incidence and risk factors, were evaluated by structured questionnaire and physical examination, respectively, in 9611 of 11 109 (86.5%) subjects who were gallstone-free at the cross-sectional study. RESULTS: Six centers throughout Italy enrolled 9611 subjects (5477 males, 4134 females, aged 30-79 years), 9517 of whom were included into analysis: 424 subjects (4.4%) had gallstones and 61 (0.6%) had been cholecystectomized yielding a cumulative incidence of 0.67% per year (0.66% in males, 0.81% in females). Increasing age, a high body mass index (BMI), a history of diabetes, peptic ulcer and angina, and low cholesterol and high triglyceride levels were identifi ed as risk factors in men while, in females, the only risk factors were increasing age and a high BMI.Increasing age and pain in the right hypocondrium in men and increasing age in females were identifi ed as predictors of gallstones. Pain in the epigastrium/ right hypocondrium was the only symptom related to gallstones; furthermore, some characteristics of pain (forcing to rest, not relieved by bowel movements) were significantly associated with gallstones. No correlation was found between gallstone characteristics and clinical manifestations, while increasing age in men and increasing age and BMI in females were predictors of pain. CONCLUSION:Increasing age and BMI represent true risk factors for gallstone disease (GD); pain in the right hypocondrium and/or epigastrium is confi rmed as the only symptom related to gallstones. | Davide Festi Ada Dormi Simona Capodicasa Tommaso Staniscia Adolfo F Attili Paola Loria Paolo Pazzi Giuseppe Mazzella Claudia Sama Enrico Roda Antonio Colecchia | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,34: | 23 |
| 7 | Efficacy of long term cyclic administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin in symptomatic,uncomplicated colonic diverticular disease显示文摘AIM: To comparatively evaluate the long term efficacy of Rifaximin and dietary fibers in reducing symptoms and/or complication frequency in symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease. METHODS: 307 patients (118 males, 189 females, age range: 40-80 years) were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to: Rifaximin (400 mg bid for 7 d every month) plus dietary fiber supplementation (at least 20 gr/d) or dietary fiber supplementation alone. The study duration was 24 mo; both clinical examination and symptoms’ questionnaire were performed every two months. RESULTS: Both treatments reduced symptom frequency, but Rifaximin at a greater extent, when compared to basal values. Symptomatic score declined during both treatments, but a greater reduction was evident in the Rifaximin group (6.4 ± 2.8 and 6.2 ± 2.6 at enrollment, P = NS, 1.0 ± 0.7 and 2.4 ± 1.7 after 24 mo, P < 0.001, respectively). Probability of symptom reduction was higher and complication frequency lower (Kaplan-Meyer method) in the Rifaximin group (P < 0.0001 and 0.028, respectively). CONCLUSION: In patients with symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease, cyclic administration of Rifaximin plus dietary fiber supplementation is more effective in reducing both symptom and complication frequency than simple dietary fiber supplementation. Long term administration of the poorly absorbed antibiotic Rifaximin is safe and well tolerated by the patients,confirming the usefulness of this therapeutic strategy in the overall management of diverticular disease. | Antonio Colecchia Amanda Vestito Francesca Pasqui Giuseppe Mazzella Enrico Roda Francesca Pistoia Giovanni Brandimarte Davide Festi | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,2: | 21 |
| 8 | Pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma:The state of the art显示文摘Pancreatic metastases are rare,with a reported incidence varying from 1.6%to 11%in autopsy studies of patients with advanced malignancy.In clinical series,the frequency of pancreatic metastases ranges from 2%to 5%of all pancreatic malignant tumors.However,the pancreas is an elective site for metastases from carcinoma of the kidney and this peculiarity has been reported by several studies.The epidemiology,clinical presentation,and treatment of pancreatic metastases from renal cell carcinoma are known from singleinstitution case reports and literature reviews.Thereis currently very limited experience with the surgical resection of isolated pancreatic metastasis,and the role of surgery in the management of these patients has not been clearly defined.In fact,for many years pancreatic resections were associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality,and metastatic disease to the pancreas was considered to be a terminal-stage condition.More recently,a significant reduction in the operative risk following major pancreatic surgery has been demonstrated,thus extending the indication for these operations to patients with metastatic disease. | Roberto Ballarin Mario Spaggiari Nicola Cautero Nicola De Ruvo Roberto Montalti Cristina Longo Anna Pecchi Patrizia Giacobazzi Giuseppina De Marco Giuseppe D’Amico Giorgio Enrico Gerunda Fabrizio Di Benedetto | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,43: | 21 |
| 9 | Updates on abdominal desmoid tumors显示文摘Desmoid tumor is a monoclonal, f ibroblastic proliferation arising in musculoaponeurotic structures. This connective tissue hyperplasia inf iltrates locally, recurs frequently after resection but does not metastasize. Abdominal desmoid occurs sporadically, in association with some familial syndromes and often represents a clinical dilemma for surgeons. The enigmatic biology and anatomical location of abdominal desmoids make treatment recommendations diff icult. This distinct pathological entity is reviewed with a specif ic focus on aetiology and management. | Bernardino Rampone Corrado Pedrazzani Daniele Marrelli Enrico Pinto Franco Roviello | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,45: | 20 |

| 11 | Partially defatted black soldier fly larva meal inclusion in piglet diets: effects on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility,blood profile, gut morphology and histological features显示文摘Background:The aim of this trial was to investigate the effects of different inclusion levels of a partially defatted black soldier fly (BSF,Hermetia illucens L.) larva meal on the growth performance,nutrient digestibility,blood profile,gut morphology and histological features of piglets.A total of 48 newly weaned piglets were individually weighed (initial body weight (IBW):6.1 ± 0.16 kg) and randomly allocated to 3 dietary treatments (4 boxes as replicates/treatment and 4 animals/box).BSF larva meal was included at increasing levels (0% [BSF0],5% [BSFS] and 10% [BSF10]) in isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets formulated for two feeding phases:Ⅰ (from d 1 to d 23) and Ⅱ (from d 24 to d 61).The weight gain (WG),average daily gain (ADG),average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were calculated for each feeding phase and for the whole trial.The haematochemical parameters and nutrient digestibility of the piglets were also evaluated.A total of 3 piglets per box were slaughtered on d 61 and the slaughtered piglets were submitted to morphometric investigations and histopathological examinations.Results:No overall significant differences were observed for growth performance (P > 0.05),except for the ADFI of phase Ⅱ,which showed a linear response to increasing BSF meal levels (P < 0.05,maximum for the BSF10 group).Dietary BSF meal inclusion did not significantly influence the blood profile,except as far as monocytes and neutrophils are concerned,and these showed a linear and quadratic response,respectively,to increasing BSF meal levels (P < 0.05,maximum for the BSF10 and BSF5 groups,respectively).On the other hand,the nutrient digestibility,gut morphology and histological features were not affected by dietary BSF meal inclusion (P > 0.05).Conclusions:The obtained results show that a partially defatted BSF larva meal can be used as a feed ingredient in diets for weaned piglets without negatively affecting their growth performance,nutrient digestibility,blood profile,gut morphology or histological features. | Ilaria Biasato Manuela Renna Francesco Gai Sihem Dabbou Marco Meneguz Giovanni Perona Silvia Martinez Ana Cristina Barroeta Lajusticia Stefania Bergagna Luca Sardi Maria Teresa Capucchio Enrico Bressan Andrea Dama Achille Schiavone Laura Gasco | 2019 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2019,10,3: | 19 |
| 12 | Performance of liver stiffness measurements by transient elastography in chronic hepatitis显示文摘AIM:To compare results of liver stiffness measurements by transient elastography(TE) obtained in our patients population with that used in a recently published meta-analysis.METHODS:This was a single center cross-sectional study.Consecutive patients with chronic viral hepatitis scheduled for liver biopsy at the outpatient ward of our Infectious Diseases Department were enrolled.TE was carried out by using FibroScan(Echosens,Paris,France).Liver biopsy was performed on the same day as TE,as day case procedure.Fibrosis was staged according to the Metavir scoring system.The diagnostic performance of TE was assessed by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve analysis.RESULTS:Two hundred and fifty-two patients met the inclusion criteria.Six(2%) patients were excluded due to unreliable TE measurements.Thus,246(171 men and 75 women) patients were analyzed.One hundred and ninety-five(79.3%) patients had chronic hepatitis C,41(16.7%) had chronic hepatitis B,and 10(4.0%) were coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus.ROC curve analysis identified optimal cut-off value of TE as high as 6.9 kPa forF ≥ 2;7.9 kPa forF ≥ 3;9.6 kPa for F = 4 in all patients(n = 246),and as high as 6.9 kPa for F ≥ 2;7.3 kPa for F ≥ 3;9.3 kPa for F = 4 in patients with hepatitis C(n = 195).Cut-off values of TE obtained by maximizing only the specificity were as high as 6.9 kPa for F ≥ 2;9.6 kPa for F ≥ 3;12.2 kPa for F = 4 in all patients(n = 246),and as high as 7.0 kPa forF ≥ 2;9.3 kPa forF ≥ 3;12.3 kPa forF = 4 in patients with hepatitis C(n = 195).CONCLUSION:The cut-off values of TE obtained in this single center study are comparable to that obtained in a recently published meta-analysis that included up to 40 studies. | Giovanna Ferraioli Carmine Tinelli Barbara Dal Bello Mabel Zicchetti Raffaella Lissandrin Gaetano Filice Carlo Filice Elisabetta Above Giorgio Barbarini Enrico Brunetti Willy Calderon Marta Di Gregorio Roberto Gulminetti Paolo Lanzarini Serena Ludovisi Laura Maiocchi Antonello Malfitano Giuseppe Michelone Lorenzo Minoli Mario Mondelli Stefano Novati Savino FA Patruno Alessandro Perretti Gianluigi Poma Paolo Sacchi Domenico Zanaboni Marco Zaramella | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,1: | 18 |
| 13 | Measuring reliability under epistemic uncertainty:Review on non-probabilistic reliability metrics显示文摘In this paper,a systematic review of non-probabilistic reliability metrics is conducted to assist the selection of appropriate reliability metrics to model the influence of epistemic uncertainty.Five frequently used non-probabilistic reliability metrics are critically reviewed,i.e.,evidencetheory-based reliability metrics,interval-analysis-based reliability metrics,fuzzy-interval-analysisbased reliability metrics,possibility-theory-based reliability metrics(posbist reliability) and uncertainty-theory-based reliability metrics(belief reliability).It is pointed out that a qualified reliability metric that is able to consider the effect of epistemic uncertainty needs to(1) compensate the conservatism in the estimations of the component-level reliability metrics caused by epistemic uncertainty,and(2) satisfy the duality axiom,otherwise it might lead to paradoxical and confusing results in engineering applications.The five commonly used non-probabilistic reliability metrics are compared in terms of these two properties,and the comparison can serve as a basis for the selection of the appropriate reliability metrics. | Kang Rui ZhangQingyuan Zeng Zhiguo Enrico Zio Li Xiaoyang | 2016 | Chinese Journal of Aeronautics2016,29,3: | 18 |
| 14 | Resective surgery for liver tumor: a multivariate analysis of causes and risk factors linked to postoperative complications显示文摘BACKGROUND: In spite of accurate selection of patients eligible for resection, and although advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management have greatly contributed to reducing the rate of perioperative deaths, stress must be placed on reducing the postoperative complication rates reported to be still as high as 50%. This study was designed to analyze the causes and foreseeable risk factors linked to postoperative morbidity on the grounds of data derived from a single-center surgical population. METHODS: From September 1989 to March 2005, 287 consecutive patients, affected either with HCC or liver metastasis, had liver resection at our department. Among the HCC series we recorded 98 patients (73.2%) in Child- Pugh class A, 32 (23.8%) in class B and 4 in class C (3%). In 104 colorectal metastases, 71% were due to colon cancer, 25% rectal, 3% sigmoid, and 1% anorectal. In 49 non-colorectal metastases, 22.4% were derived from breast cancer, 63.2% gastrointestinal tumors (excluding colon) and 14.4% other cancers. We performed 80 wedge resections, 77 bisegmentectomies and/or left lobectomies, 74 segmentectomies, 22 major hepatectomies, 20 left hepatectomies, and 14 trisegmentectomies. RESULTS: The in-hospital mortality rate in this series was 4.5%, and the morbidity rate was 47.7%, because of pleural effusion (30%), hepatic abscess (25%), hepatic insufficiency (19%), ascites (10%), hemoperitoneum (10%), or biliary fistula (6%). The variables associated with the technical aspects of the surgical procedure thatwere responsible for the complications were: a Pringle maneuver length more than 20 minutes (P=0.001); the type of liver resection procedure, including major hepatectomy (P=0.02), left hepatectomy (P=0.04), trisegmentectomy (P=0.04), bisegmentectomy and/or left lobectomy (P=0,04); and a blood transfusion of more than 600 ml (P=0.04). CONCLUSION: The evaluation of causes and foreseeable risk factors linked to postoperative morbidity during the planning of surgical treatment should play the same role as other factors weighed in the selection of patients eligible for liver resection. | Enrico Benzoni Dario Lorenzin Umberto Baccarani Gian Luigi Adani Alessandro Favero Alessandro Cojutti Fabrizio Bresadola Alessandro Uzzau | 2006 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2006,5,4: | 17 |
| 15 | Genomic and genetic alterations influence the progression of gastric cancer显示文摘Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancerrelated deaths worldwide, although the incidence has gradually decreased in many Western countries. Two main gastric cancer histotypes, intestinal and diffuse, are recognised. Although most of the described genetic alterations have been observed in both types, different genetic pathways have been hypothesized. Genetic and epigenetic events, including 1q loss of heterozygosity (LOH), microsatellite instability and hypermethylation, have mostly been reported in intestinal-type gastric carcinoma and its precursor lesions, whereas 17p LOH, mutation or loss of E-cadherin are more often implicated in the development of diffuse-type gastric cancer.In this review, we summarize the sometimes contradictory findings regarding those markers which influence the progression of gastric adenocarcinoma. | Stefania Nobili Lorenzo Bruno Ida Landini Cristina Napoli Paolo Bechi Francesco Tonelli Carlos A Rubio Enrico Mini Gabriella Nesi | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,3: | 17 |
| 16 | Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis显示文摘A large body of experimental and clinical data supports the notion that inflammation in acute pancreatitis has a crucial role in the pathogenesis of local and systemic damage and is a major determinant of clinical severity.Thus,research has recently focused on molecules that can regulate the inflammatory processes,such as phosphoinositide 3-kinases(PI3Ks),a family of lipid and protein kinases involved in intracellular signal transduction.Studies using genetic ablation or pharmacologic inhibitors of different PI3 K isoforms,in particular the class I PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ,have contributed to a greater understanding of the roles of these kinases in the modulation of inflammatory and immune responses.Recent data suggest that PI3 Ks are also involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis.Activation of the PI3K signaling pathway,and in particular of the class IB PI3Kγ isoform,has a significant role in those events which are necessary for the initiation of acute pancreatic injury,namely calcium signaling alteration,trypsinogen activation,and nuclear factor-κB transcription.Moreover,PI3Kγ is instrumental in modulating acinar cell apoptosis,and regulating local neutrophil infiltration and systemic inflammatory responses during the course of experimental acute pancreatitis.The availability of PI3 K inhibitors selective for specific isoforms may provide new valuable therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical course of this disease.This article presents a brief summary of PI3 K structure and function,and highlights recent advances that implicate PI3 Ks in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. | Enrico Lupia Luca Pigozzi Alberto Goffi Emilio Hirsch Giuseppe Montrucchio | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,41: | 15 |
| 17 | Impact of mechanical circulatory support and immunomodulation therapy on outcome of patients with fulminant myocarditis: Chinese registry of fulminant myocarditis显示文摘Dear Editor,Patients presenting with acute myocarditis and sudden hemodynamic instability (termed fulminant myocarditis [FM]) still have a high mortality and need for heart transplantation, up to 28% at 60 days.1,2,3 Recent scientific statements and expert opinion consensus suggests early use of temporary mechanical circulatory supports (t-MCS).3,4 Specifically, Chinese scientific statement proposed an extensive use of t-MCS combined with immunoregulatory therapy (IT),4 although formal trials are lacking. We present a multicenter, retrospective study to compare the outcome of patients who were treated with t-MCS and IT vs. patients who didn’t receive these treatments. We included patients with the diagnosis of FM based on the presence of viral prodromal signs/symptoms followed by acute onset of severe heart failure (HF) without other relevant differential diagnosis or pre-existing cardiac disorders. Patients who received both t-MCS and IT during hospitalization were classified as t-MCS+IT group. | Ning Zhou Yuhua Zhao Jiangang Jiang Lan Shen Junming Li Jing Wan Xueping Ma Jing Zhang Enrico Ammirati Dao Wen Wang | 2021 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2021,6,11: | 14 |
| 18 | Oxidative damage in the progression of chronic liver disease to hepatocellular carcinoma:An intricate pathway显示文摘The histo-pathologic and molecular mechanisms leading to initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)are still ill-defined;however,there is increasing evidence that the gradual accumulation of mutations,genetic and epigenetic changes which occur in preneoplastic hepatocytes results in the development of dysplastic foci,nodules,and finally,overt HCC.As well as many other neoplasias,liver cancer is considered an'inflammatory cancer',arising from a context of inflammation,and characterized by inflammation-related mechanisms that favor tumor cell survival,proliferation,and invasion.Molecular mechanisms that link inflammation and neoplasia have been widely investigated,and it has been well established that inflammatory cells recruited at these sites with ongoing inflammatory activity release chemokines that enhance the production of reactive oxygen species.The latter,in turn,probably have a major pathogenic role in the continuum starting from hepatitis followed by chronic inflammation,and ultimately leading to cancer.The relationship amongst chronic liver injury,free radical production,and development of HCC is explored in the present review,particularly in the light of the complex network that involves oxidative DNA damage,cytokine synthesis,telomere dysfunction,and microRNA regulation. | Romilda Cardin Marika Piciocchi Marina Bortolami Andromachi Kotsafti Luisa Barzon Enrico Lavezzo Alessandro Sinigaglia Kryssia Isabel Rodriguez-Castro Massimo Rugge Fabio Farinati | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,12: | 14 |
| 19 | Far lateral lumbar disc herniation part 1: Imaging, neurophysiology and clinical features显示文摘Far lateral lumbar disc herniations(FLLDH)represent a separate category of disc pathology which includes both intraforaminal and extraforaminal lumbar disc herniations,that are characterized by a peculiar clinical presentation,diagnostic and treatment modalities as compared to the more frequent median and paramedian disc hernias.Surgical treatment often represents the only effective weapon for the cure of this disease and over the years different approaches have been developed that can reach the region of the foramen or external to it,with different degrees of invasiveness.The diagnosis is more demanding and still underestimated as it requires a more detailed knowledge in the spine anatomy and dedicated radiological studies.Computerized tomography and in particular magnetic resonance imaging are the appropriate tools for the diagnosis of FLLDH.Despite the widespread use of these diagnostic tests,many cases of FLLDH are overlooked due to insufficiently detailed radiological examinations or due to the execution of exams not focused to the foraminal or the extraforaminal region.Neurophysiological studies represent a valid aid in the diagnostic classification of this pathology and in some cases they can facilitate the differential diagnosis with other types of radiculopathies.In the present study,a comprehensive review of the clinical presentation,epidemiology,radiological study and the neurophysiological aspects is presented. | Luigi Valentino Berra Andrea Di Rita Federico Longhitano Enrico Mailland Paolo Reganati Alessandro Frati Antonio Santoro | 2021 | World Journal of Orthopedics2021,12,12: | 14 |
| 20 | Effects of music and music therapy on mood in neurological patients显示文摘Mood disorder and depressive syndromes represent a common comorbid condition in neurological disorders witha prevalence rate that ranges between 20% and 50% of patients with stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Notwithstanding, these conditions are often under-diagnosed and under-treated in the clinical practice and negatively affect the functional recovery, the adherence to treatment, the quality of life, and even the mortality risk. In addition, a bidirectional association between depression and neurological disorders may be possible being that depressive syndromes may be considered as a risk factor for certain neurological diseases. Despite the large amount of evidence regarding the effects of music therapy(MT) and other musical interventions on different aspects of neurological disorders, no updated article reviewing outcomes such as mood, emotions, depression, activity of daily living and so on is actually available; for this reason, little is known about the effectiveness of music and MT on these important outcomes in neurological patients. The aim of this article is to provide a narrative review of the current literature on musical interventions and their effects on mood and depression in patients with neurological disorders. Searching on Pub Med and Psyc Info databases, 25 studies corresponding to the inclusion criteria have been selected; 11 of them assess the effects of music or MT in Dementia, 9 explore the efficacy on patients with Stroke, and 5 regard other neurological diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/motor neuron disease, Chronic quadriplegia, Parkinson's Disease, and Acquired Brain dysfunctions. Selected studies are based on relational and rehabilitative music therapy approaches or concern music listening interventions. Most of the studies support the efficacy of MT and other musical interventions on mood, depressive syndromes, and quality of life on neurological patients. | Alfredo Raglio Lapo Attardo Giulia Gontero Silvia Rollino Elisabetta Groppo Enrico Granieri | 2015 | World Journal of Psychiatry2015,5,1: | 13 |
