| 1 | Role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the utility of diffusion-weighted im-aging(DWI)in screening and differential diagnosis of benign and malignant focal hepatic lesions.METHODS:Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)ex-aminations were performed using the Signa Excite Xl Twin Speed 1.5T system(GE Healthcare,Milwaukee,WI,USA).Seventy patients who had undergone MRI of the liver [29 hepatocellular carcinomas(HCC),four cholangiocarcinomas,34 metastatic liver cancers,10 hemangiomas,and eight cysts] between April 2004 and August 2008 were retrospectively evaluated.Visu-alization of lesions,relative contrast ratio(RCR),and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)were compared between benign and malignant lesions on DWI.Su-perparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO)was administered to 59 patients,and RCR was compared pre-and post-administration.RESULTS:DWI showed higher contrast between ma-lignant lesions(especially in multiple small metastatic cancers)and surrounding liver parenchyma than did contrast-enhanced computed tomography.ADCs(mean ± SD × 10-3 mm2/s)were signif icantly lower(P < 0.05)in malignant lesions(HCC:1.31 ± 0.28 and liver me-tastasis:1.11 ± 0.22)and were signifi cantly higher in benign lesions(hemangioma:1.84 ± 0.37 and cyst:2.61 ± 0.45)than in the surrounding hepatic tissues.RCR between malignant lesions and surrounding he-patic tissues signifi cantly improved after SPIO adminis-tration,but RCRs in benign lesions were not improved.CONCLUSION:DWI is a simple and sensitive method for screening focal hepatic lesions and is useful for dif-ferential diagnosis. | Naoto Koike Akihiro Cho Katsuhiro Nasu Kazuhiko Seto Shigeyuki Nagaya Yuji Ohshima Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,46: | 38 |
| 2 | Platelets in liver disease, cancer and regeneration显示文摘Although viral hepatitis treatments have evolved over the years, the resultant liver cirrhosis still does not completely heal. Platelets contain proteins required for hemostasis, as well as many growth factors required for organ development, tissue regeneration and repair. Thrombocytopenia, which is frequently observed in patients with chronic liver disease(CLD) and cirrhosis, can manifest from decreased thrombopoietin production and accelerated platelet destruction caused by hypersplenism; however, the relationship between thrombocytopenia and hepatic pathogenesis, as well as the role of platelets in CLD, is poorly understood. In this paper, experimental evidence of platelets improving liver fibrosis and accelerating liver regeneration is summarized and addressed based on studies conducted in our laboratory and current progress reports from other investigators. In addition, we describe our current perspective based on the results of these studies. Platelets improve liver fibrosis by inactivating hepatic stellate cells, which decreases collagen production. The regenerative effect of platelets in the liver involves a direct effect on hepatocytes, a cooperative effect with liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and a collaborative effect with Kupffer cells. Based on these observations, we ascertained the direct effect of platelet transfusion on improving several indicators of liver function in patients with CLD and liver cirrhosis. However, unlike the results of our previous clinical study, the smaller incremental changes in liver function in patients with CLD who received eltrombopag for 6 mo were due to patient selection from a heterogeneous population. We highlight the current knowledge concerning the role of platelets in CLD and cancer and anticipate a novel application of platelet-based clinical therapies to treat liver disease. | Tomohiro Kurokawa Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,18: | 25 |
| 3 | Novel 3-dimensional virtual hepatectomy simulation combined with real-time deformation显示文摘AIM:To develop a novel 3-dimensional(3D) virtual hepatectomy simulation software,Liversim,to visualize the real-time deformation of the liver.METHODS:We developed a novel real-time virtual hepatectomy simulation software program called Liversim. The software provides 4 basic functions:viewing 3D models from arbitrary directions,changing the colors and opacities of the models,deforming the models based on user interaction,and incising the liver parenchyma and intrahepatic vessels based on user operations. From April 2010 through 2013,99 patients underwent virtual hepatectomies that used the conventional software program SYNAPSE VINCENT preoperatively. Between April 2012 and October 2013,11 patients received virtual hepatectomies using the novel software program Liversim; these hepatectomies were performed both preoperatively and at the same that the actual hepatectomy was performed in an operating room. The perioperative outcomes were analyzed between the patients for whom SYNAPSE VINCENT was used and those for whom Liversim wasused. Furthermore,medical students and surgical residents were asked to complete questionnaires regarding the new software.RESULTS:There were no obvious discrepancies(i.e.,the emergence of branches in the portal vein or hepatic vein or the depth and direction of the resection line) between our simulation and the actual surgery during the resection process. The median operating time was 304 min(range,110 to 846) in the VINCENT group and 397 min(range,232 to 497) in the Liversim group(P = 0.30). The median amount of intraoperative bleeding was 510 m L(range,18 to 5120) in the VINCENT group and 470 m L(range,130 to 1600) in the Liversim group(P = 0.44). The median postoperative stay was 12 d(range,6 to 100) in the VINCENT group and 13 d(range,9 to 21) in the Liversim group(P = 0.36). There were no significant differences in the preoperative outcomes between the two groups. Liversim was not found to be clinically inferior to SYNAPSE VINCENT. Both students and surgical residents reported that the Liversim image was almost the same as the actual hepatectomy.CONCLUSION:Virtual hepatectomy with real-time deformation of the liver using Liversim is useful for the safe performance of hepatectomies and for surgical education. | Yukio Oshiro Hiroaki Yano Jun Mitani Sangtae Kim Jaejeong Kim Kiyoshi Fukunaga Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,34: | 23 |
| 4 | Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm: Key immunohistochemical profiles for differential diagnosis显示文摘AIM To reveal better diagnostic markers for differentiating neuroendocrine tumor(NET) from solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm(SPN), focusing primarily on immunohistochemical analysis.METHODS We reviewed 30 pancreatic surgical specimens of NET(24 cases) and SPN(6 cases). We carried out comprehensive immunohistochemical profiling using 9 markers: Synaptophysin, chromogranin A, pancytokeratin, E-cadherin, progesterone receptor,vimentin, α-1-antitrypsin, CD10, and β-catenin.RESULTS E-cadherin staining in NETs, and nuclear labeling of β-catenin in SPNs were the most sensitive and specific markers. Dot-like staining of chromogranin A might indicate the possibility of SPNs rather than NETs. The other six markers were not useful because their expression overlapped widely between NETs and SPNs. Moreover, two cases that had been initially diagnosed as NETs on the basis of their morphological features, demonstrated SPN-like immunohistochemical profiles. Careful diagnosis is crucial as we actually found two confusing cases showing disagreement between the tumor morphology and immunohistochemical profiles.CONCLUSION E-cadherin, chromogranin A, and β-catenin were the most useful markers which should be employed for differentiating between NET and SPN. | Yusuke Ohara Tatsuya Oda Shinji Hashimoto Yoshimasa Akashi Ryoichi Miyamoto Tsuyoshi Enomoto Kaishi Satomi Yukio Morishita Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,38: | 19 |
| 5 | Human platelets inhibit liver fibrosis in severe combined immunodeficiency mice显示文摘AIM:To investigate the role of human platelets in liver fibrosis.METHODS:Severe combined immunodeficiency(SCID)mice were administered CCl4and either phosphate-buffered saline(PBS group)or human platelet transfusions(hPLT group).Concentrations of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF),matrix metallopeptidases(MMP)-9,and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)in the liver tissue were compared between the PBS and the hPLT groups by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and Western blotting.The effects of a human platelet transfusion on liver fibrosis included the fibrotic area,hydroxyproline content,and-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)expression,which were evaluated by picrosirius red staining,ELISA,and immunohistochemical staining using an anti-mouse-SMA antibody,respectively.Phosphorylations of mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor(Met)and SMAD3,downstream signals of HGF and TGF-β,were compared between the two groups by Western blotting and were quantified using densitometry.Hepatocyte apoptosis was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.Furthermore,the accumulation of human platelets in the liver 2 h after platelet transfusion was compared between normal and fibrotic livers by immunohistochemical staining using an anti-human CD41 antibody.RESULTS:The fibrotic area and hydroxyproline content in the liver were both significantly lower in the hPLT group when compared to the PBS group(fibrotic area,1.7%±0.6%vs 2.5%±0.6%,P=0.03;hydroxyproline content,121±26 ng/g liver vs 156±47 ng/g liver,P=0.04).There was less α-smooth muscle actin staining in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(0.5%±0.1%vs 0.8%±0.3%,P=0.02).Hepatic expression levels of mouse HGF and MMP-9were significantly higher in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(HGF,109±13 ng/g liver vs 88±22 ng/g liver,P=0.03;MMP-9,113%±7%/GAPDH vs 92%±11%/GAPDH,P=0.04).In contrast,the concentration of mouse TGF-β in the liver tissue was significantly lower in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(22±5ng/g liver vs 39±6 ng/g liver,P=0.02).Phosphorylation of Met was more prevalent in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(37%±4%/GAPDH vs 20%±8%/GAPDH,P=0.03).Phosphorylation of SMAD3was weaker in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(60%±12%/GAPDH vs 84%±12%/GAPDH,P=0.1),although this difference was not significant.Furthermore,a lower rate of hepatocyte apoptosis was observed in the hPLT group than in the PBS group(5.9%±1.7%vs 2.9%±2.1%,P=0.02).Significant human platelet accumulation was observed in the fibrotic liver tissues,whereas few platelets accumulated in the normal liver.CONCLUSION:Human platelets inhibit liver fibrosis in SCID mice.Increased concentration of HGF in the liver suppresses hepatic stellate cell activation,induces MMPs,and inhibits hepatocyte apoptosis. | Kazuhiro Takahashi Soichiro Murata Kiyoshi Fukunaga Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,32: | 17 |
| 6 | Nasogastric tube syndrome induced by an indwelling long intestinal tube显示文摘The nasogastric tube(NGT) has become a frequently used device to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms. Nasogastric tube syndrome(NTS) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of an indwelling NGT. NTS is characterized by acute upper airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. We report a case of a 76-year-old man with NTS, induced by an indwelling long intestinal tube. He was admitted to our hospital for treatment of sigmoid colon cancer. He underwent sigmoidectomy to release a bowel obstruction, and had a long intestinal tube inserted to decompress the intestinal tract. He presented acute dyspnea following prolonged intestinal intubation, and bronchoscopy showed bilateral vocal cord paralysis. The NGT was removed immediately, and tracheotomy was performed. The patient was finally discharged in a fully recovered state. NTS be considered in patients complaining of acute upper airway obstruction, not only with a NGT inserted but also with a long intestinal tube. | Naoki Sano Masayoshi Yamamoto Kentaro Nagai Keiichi Yamada Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,15: | 11 |
| 7 | Quantitative evaluation of long-term liver repopulation and the reconstitution of bile ductules after hepatocellular transplantation显示文摘AIM: The treatment of liver disease is severely limited by a shortage of donor livers. In trying to address this growing problem, hepatocellular transplantation (HTx) has received much attention as an alternative to whole organ transplant.However, the expansion of transplanted cells is at low level,and the reconstitution of functional liver tissue is limited by this cellular property. We set up an animal model to better understand cell dose effect and the kinetics of liver repopulation following HTx.METHODS: Dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ (DPPIV)-deficient rats treated with retrorsine and subjected to partial hepatectomy were infused with DPPIV-positive hepatocytes. Rats were injected with varying numbers of donor hepatocytes down to 100 cells low, and liver repopulation was examined at different time points up to 20 mo long. Repopulation was assessed by computer-aided quantitative detection.RESULTS: Transplanted hepatocytes underwent multiple rounds of proliferation and stably repopulated the injured livers after 20 mo and at all cell doses. Transplanted cells divided 14 times within the 3-mo time period following infusion, and the liver repopulation reached a plateau between 3 and 20 mo. Approximately 90% replacement occurred. Donor-derived cells also reconstituted the bile ductules of the recipients.CONCLUSION: The ability of transplanted hepatocytes to fully reconstitute injured livers strongly supports further investigation into the clinical potential of HTx. Additionally,the observation that transplanted hepatocytes also form components of the biliary system suggests that these cells may have bi-potential property of the stem cells. | Yun-Wen Zheng Nobuhiro Ohkohchi Hideki Taniguchi | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,39: | 9 |
| 8 | Current trends in three-dimensional visualization and real-time navigation as well as robot-assisted technologies in hepatobiliary surgery显示文摘With the continuous development of digital medicine,minimally invasive precision and safety have become the primary development trends in hepatobiliary surgery.Due to the specificity and complexity of hepatobiliary surgery,traditional preoperative imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging cannot meet the need for identification of fine anatomical regions.Imaging-based three-dimensional(3D)reconstruction,virtual simulation of surgery and 3D printing optimize the surgical plan through preoperative assessment,improving the controllability and safety of intraoperative operations,and in difficult-to-reach areas of the posterior and superior liver,assistive robots reproduce the surgeon’s natural movements with stable cameras,reducing natural vibrations.Electromagnetic navigation in abdominal surgery solves the problem of conventional surgery still relying on direct visual observation or preoperative image assessment.We summarize and compare these recent trends in digital medical solutions for the future development and refinement of digital medicine in hepatobiliary surgery. | Yun Wang Di Cao Si-Lin Chen Yu-Mei Li Yun-Wen Zheng Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2021 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2021,13,9: | 8 |

| 10 | Excessive portal flow causes graft failure in extremely small-for-size liver transplantation in pigs显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effects of a portocaval shunt on the decrease of excessive portal flow for the prevention of sinusoidal microcirculatory injury in extremely smallfor-size liver transplantation in pigs.METHODS: The right lateral lobe of pigs, i.e. the 25%of the liver, was transplanted orthotopically. The pigs were divided into two groups: graft without portocaval shunt (n = 11) and graft with portocaval shunt (n=11).Survival rate, portal flow, hepatic arterial flow, and histological findings were investigated.RESULTS: In the group without portocaval shunt, all pigs except one died of liver dysfunction within 24 h after transplantation. In the group with portocaval shunt,eight pigs survived for more than 4 d. The portal flow volumes before and after transplantation in the group without portocaval shunt were 118.2±26.9 mL/min/100 g liver tissue and 270.5±72.9 mL/min/100 g liver tissue,respectively. On the other hand, in the group with portocaval shunt, those volumes were 124.2±27.8 mL/min/100 g liver tissue and 42.7±32.3 mL/min/100 g liver tissue, respectively (P<0.01). As for histological findings in the group without portocaval shunt, destruction of the sinusoidal lining and bleeding in the peri-portal areas were observed after reperfusion, but these findings were not recognized in the group with portocaval shunt.CONCLUSION: These results suggest that excessive portal flow is attributed to post transplant liver dysfunction after extreme small-for-size liver transplantation caused by sinusoidal microcirculatory injury. | Hong-Sheng Wang Nobuhiro Ohkohchi Yoshitaka Enomoto Masahiro Usuda Shigehito Miyagi Takeshi Asakura Hiroo Masuoka Takashi Aiso Keisuke Fukushima Tomohiro Narita Hideyuki Yamaya Atsushi Nakamura Satoshi Sekiguchi Naoki Kawagishi Akira Sato Susumu Satomi | 2005 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2005,11,44: | 8 |
| 11 | Three-dimensional imaging identified the accessory bile duct in a patient with cholangiocarcinoma显示文摘The development of diagnostic imaging technology, such as multidetector computed tomography(MDCT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP), has made it possible to obtain detailed images of the bile duct. Recent reports have indicated that a 3-dimensional(3D) reconstructed imaging system would be useful for understanding the liver anatomy before surgery. We have investigated a novel method that fuses MDCT and MRCP images. This novel system easily made it possible to detect the anatomical relationship between the vessels and bile duct in the portal hepatis. In this report, we describe a very rare case of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma associated with an accessory bile duct from the caudate lobe connecting with the intrapancreatic bile duct. We were unable to preoperatively detect this accessory bile duct using MDCT and MRCP. However, prior to the second operation, we were able to clearly visualise the injured accessory bile duct using our novel 3D imaging modality. In thisreport, we suggest that this imaging technique can be considered a novel and useful modality for understanding the anatomy of the portal hepatis, including the hilar bile duct. | Ryoichi Miyamoto Yukio Oshiro Shinji Hashimoto Keisuke Kohno Kiyoshi Fukunaga Tatsuya Oda Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,32: | 6 |
| 12 | Influence of Kupffer cells and platelets on ischemia-reperfusion injury in mild steatotic liver显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effect of mild steatotic liver on ischemia-reperfusion injury by focusing on Kupffer cells (KCs) and platelets. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into a normal liver group (N group) and a mild steatotic liver group (S group) induced by feeding a choline-deficient diet for 2 wk. Both groups were subjected to 20 min of warm ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. The number of labeled KCs and platelets in sinusoids and the blood perfusion in sinusoids were observed by intravital microscopy (IVM), which was performed at 30, 60 and 120 min after reperfusion. To evaluate serum alanine aminotransferase as a marker of liver deterioration, blood samples were taken at the same time as IVM.RESULTS: In the S group, the number of platelets adhering to KCs decreased significantly compared with the N group (120 after reperfusion; 2.9±1.1 cells/acinus vs 4.8±1.2 cells/acinus, P<0.01). The number of KCs in sinusoids was significantly less in the S group than in the N group throughout the observation periods (before ischemia, 19.6±3.3 cells/acinus vs 28.2±4.1 cells/acinus, P<0.01 and 120 min after reperfusion, 29.0±4.3 cells/acinus vs 40.2±3.3 cells/acinus, P<0.01). The blood perfusion of sinusoids 120 min after reperfusion was maintained in the S group more than in the N group. Furthermore, elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase was lower in the S group than in the N group 120 min after reperfusion (99.7±19.8 IU/L vs 166.3±61.1 IU/L, P=0.041), and histological impairment of hepatocyte structure was prevented in the S group. CONCLUSION: Ischemia-reperfusion injury in mild steatotic liver was attenuated compared with normal liver due to the decreased number of KCs and the reduction of the KC-platelet interaction. | Koichi Ogawa Tadashi Kondo Takafumi Tamura Hideki Matsumura Kiyoshi Fukunaga Tatsuya Oda Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,9: | 6 |
| 13 | Complete response to multidisciplinary therapy in a patient with primary gastric choriocarcinoma显示文摘Primary gastric choriocarcinoma is a rapidly growing neoplasm with an average survival of several months in untreated patients.Gastrectomy with lymph node dissection followed by chemotherapy is the treatment of choice.Regimens used for gastric adenocarcinoma are usually selected.However,median survival remains less than six months.In this case report,we describe a case of primary gastric choriocarcinoma with a clinical complete response to multidisciplinary treatment including surgery,chemotherapy,and radiofrequency ablation(RFA).The patient was originally referred for general malaise.Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated a large tumor occupying the fornix,and total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection was performed.Seven days later,multiple liver metastatic recurrences with high serum levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG) were recognized.Chemotherapy with a gonadal choriocarcinoma regimen consisting of etoposide,methotrexate,actinomycin D,cyclophosphamide,and vincristine(EMA/CO),was initiated.After three cycles,serum β-hCG decreased markedly and the tumors disappeared.Six months later,multiple lung metastatic recurrences were found.After one cycle of EMA/CO,only one nodule remained.Computed tomography-guided RFA was performed for this oligometastatic tumor.The patient has been alive with no evidence of disease for 10 years after the initial diagnosis.To the best of our knowledge,this patient with recurrent primary gastric choriocarcinoma has achieved the longest survival.The present case is the first report of choriocarcinoma metastatic to the lung successfully treated with RFA.From our retrospective analysis of recurrent or unresectable primary gastric choriocarcinoma,we propose that gonadal choriocarcinoma regimens can be considered as first-line for primary gastric choriocarcinoma. | Kazuhiro Takahashi Shigeki Tsukamoto Ken Saito Nobuhiro Ohkohchi Katsu Hirayama | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,31: | 6 |
| 14 | Thrombocytopenia after liver transplantation:should we care?显示文摘Transient thrombocytopenia is a common phenomenon after liver transplantation. After liver transplantation(LT), platelet count decreases and reaches a nadir on postoperative days 3-5, with an average reduction in platelet counts of 60%; platelet count recovers to preoperative levels approximately two weeks after LT. The putative mechanisms include haemodilution, decreased platelet production, increased sequestration, medications, infections, thrombosis, or combination of these processes. However, the precise mechanisms remain unclear. The role of platelets in liver transplantation has been highlighted in recent years, and particular attention has been given to their effects beyond hemostasis and thrombosis. Previous studies have demonstrated that perioperative thrombocytopenia causes poor graft regeneration, increases the incidence of postoperative morbidity, and deteriorates the graft and decreases patient survival in both the short and long term after liver transplantation. Platelet therapies to increase perioperative platelet counts, such as thrombopoietin, thrombopoietin receptor agonist, platelet transfusion, splenectomy, and intravenous immunoglobulin treatment might have a potential for improving graft survival, however clinical trials are lacking. Further studies are warranted to detect direct evidence on whether thrombocytopenia is the cause or result of poor-graft function and postoperative complications, and to determine who needs platelet therapies in order to prevent postoperative complications and thus improve post-transplant outcomes. | Kazuhiro Takahashi Shunji Nagai Mohamed Safwan Chen Liang Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,13: | 5 |
| 15 | Anticancer effect of linalool via cancer-specific hydroxyl radical generation in human colon cancer显示文摘AIM To investigate the anticancer mechanisms of the monoterpenoid alcohol linalool in human colon cancer cells.METHODS The cytotoxic effect of linalool on the human colon cancer cell lines and a human fibroblast cell line was examined using the WST-8 assay. The apoptosisinducing effect of linalool was measured using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase d UTP nickend labeling assay and flow cytometry with Annexin V. Oxidative stress was investigated by staining for diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine, which is a cellular lipid peroxidation marker, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Sixteen SCID mice xenografted with human cancer cells were randomized into 3 groups for in vivo analysis: control and low-dose and high-dose linalool groups. The control group was administered tap water orally every 3 d. The linalool treatment groups were administered 100 or 200 μg/kg linalool solution orally for the same period. All mice were sacrificed under anesthesia 21 d after tumor inoculation, and tumors and organs were collected for immunohistochemistry using an anti-4-hydroxynonenal antibody. Tumor weights were measured and compared between groups. RESULTS Linalool induced apoptosis of cancer cells in vitro, following the cancer-specific induction of oxidative stress, which was measured based on spontaneous hydroxyl radical production and delayed lipid peroxidation. Mice in the high-dose linalool group exhibited a 55% reduction in mean xenograft tumor weight compared with mice in the control group(P < 0.05). In addition, tumor-specific lipid peroxidation was observed in the in vivo model.CONCLUSION Linalool exhibited an anticancer effect via cancerspecific oxidative stress, and this agent has potential for application in colon cancer therapy. | Kenichi Iwasaki Yun-Wen Zheng Soichiro Murata Hiromu Ito Ken Nakayama Tomohiro Kurokawa Naoki Sano Takeshi Nowatari Myra O Villareal Yumiko N Nagano Hiroko Isoda Hirofumi Matsui Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,44: | 5 |

| 18 | Evaluation of safety for hepatectomy in a novel mouse model with nonalcoholic-steatohepatitis显示文摘AIM To investigate whether the liver resection volume in a newly developed nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) model influences surgical outcome.METHODS For establishment of a NASH model, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 4 wk, administered CCl_4 for the last 2 wk, and administered T0901317 for the last 5 d. We divided these mice into two groups: A 30% partial hepatectomy(PH) of NASH liver group and a 70% PH of NASH liver group. In addition, a 70% PH of normal liver group served as the control. Each group was evaluated for survival rate, regeneration, apoptosis, necrosis and DNA expression after PH.RESULTS In the 70% PH of NASH group, the survival rate was significantly decreased compared with that in the control and 30% PH of NASH groups(P < 0.01). 10 of 32 mice in the NASH 70% PH group died within 48 h after PH. Serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST) levels and total bilirubin(T-Bil) in the NASH 70% PH group were significantly higher than the levels in the other two groups(AST: P < 0.05, T-Bil: P < 0.01). In both PH of NASH groups, signaling proteins involved in regeneration were expressed at lower levels than those in the control group(P < 0.01). The 70% PH of NASH group also exhibited a lower number of Ki-67-positive cells and higher rates of apoptosis and necrosis than the NASH 30% PH group(P < 0.01). In addition, DNA microarray assays showed differences in gene expression associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.CONCLUSION The function of the residual liver is impaired in fatty liver compared to normal liver. A larger residual volume is required to maintain liver functions in mice with NASH. | Yusuke Ozawa Takafumi Tamura Yohei Owada Yoshio Shimizu Akira Kemmochi Katsuji Hisakura Takashi Matsuzaka Hitoshi Shimano Hiroko Isoda Nobuhiro Ohkohchi | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,15: | 2 |
