RESUMEN
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are a group of enzymes that can hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides. It is composed of 11 gene related isozyme families (PDE1-PDE11). Due to the diversity of isozymes, PDE distribute in different cells and sub-cells, regulate different intracellular signals and become an important target in intracellular signal pathway. Studies have shown that PDE inhibitor plays an important role in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility and related gastrointestinal diseases. This article reviewed the role and research progress of PDE inhibitor in gastrointestinal tract.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of different endoscopic treatment strategies for grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ internal hemorrhoids.Methods:Clinical data of 107 internal hemorrhoid patients who received endoscopic sclerotherapy or band ligation in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively studied. Postoperative adverse events, efficacy, and satisfaction were followed up.Results:Among the 107 patients, there were 45 patients (42.06%) with grade Ⅰ, 55 (52.34%) with grade Ⅱ, and 6 (5.60%) with grade Ⅲ. At the same time, 94.39% (101/107) patients underwent other gastrointestinal endoscopic treatment. The postoperative follow-up time ranged from 3 to 25 months, with a median of 5 months. A total of 84 patients underwent routine endoscopic injection sclerotherapy, and 8 had adverse events after the surgery. The overall effective rate was 97.61% (82/84), and satisfaction rate was 95.24% (80/84). Nine underwent endoscopic foam sclerotherapy, and no postoperative adverse events were observed. The overall effective rate and the satisfaction rate were both 100.00% (9/9). Among the 11 patients undergoing endoscopic band ligation, 2 had adverse events after the surgery. The overall effective rate was 81.82% (9/11), and the satisfaction rate was 72.73% (8/11). Three patients underwent sclerotherapy combined with ligation, and 2 had postoperative adverse events. The overall effective rate was 100.00% (3/3), and the satisfaction rate was 66.67% (2/3). Sclerotherapy was generally superior to ligation in operation cost. Further subgroup analysis for grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients showed that for grade Ⅰ patients, sclerotherapy was better than band ligation in the incidence of postoperative pain ( P<0.05), and for grade Ⅱ patients, no statistically significant differences were observed in adverse events, effective rate and satisfaction rate ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Both endoscopic injection sclerotherapy and band ligation for internal hemorrhoids are safe and effective, and may not increase the risk of adverse events when simultaneously completed with other gastrointestinal endoscopic treatment.

Objective:To develop early gastric cancer (EGC) detection system of magnifying blue laser imaging (ME-BLI) model and magnifying narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) model based on deep convolutional neural network, to compare the performance differences of the two models and to explore the effects of training methods on the accuracy.Methods:The images of benign gastric lesions and EGC under ME-BLI and ME-NBI were respectively collected. A total of five data sets and three test sets were collected. Data set 1 included 2 024 noncancerous lesions and 452 EGC images under ME-BLI. Data set 2 included 2 024 noncancerous lesions and 452 EGC images under ME-NBI. Data set 3 was the combination of data set 1 and 2 (a total of 4 048 noncancerous lesions and 904 EGC images under ME-BLI and ME-NBI). Data set 4: on the basis of data set 2, another 62 noncancerous lesions and 2 305 EGC images under ME-NBI were added (2 086 noncancerous lesions and 2 757 EGC images under ME-NBI). Data set 5: on the basis of data set 3, another 62 noncancerous lesions and 2 305 EGC images under ME-NBI were added(4 110 noncancerous lesions and 3 209 EGC images under ME-NBI and ME-BLI). Test set A included 422 noncancerous lesions and 197 EGC images under ME-BLI. Test set B included 422 noncancerous lesions and 197 EGC images under ME-NBI. Test set C was the combination of test set A and B (844 noncancerous and 394 EGC images under ME-BLI and ME-NBI). Five models were constructed according to these five data sets respectively and their performance was evaluated in the three test sets. Per-lesion video was collected and used to compare the performance of deep convolutional neural network models under ME-BLI and ME-NBI for the detection of EGC in clinical environment, and compared with four senior endoscopy doctors. The primary endpoint was the diagnostic accuracy of EGG, sensitivity and specificity. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:The performance of model 1 was the best in test set A with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 76.90% (476/619), 63.96% (126/197) and 82.94% (350/422), respectively. The performance of model 2 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 86.75% (537/619), 92.89% (183/197) and 83.89% (354/422), respectively. The performance of model 3 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 86.91% (538/619), 84.26% (166/197) and 88.15% (372/422), respectively. The performance of model 4 was the best in test set B with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 85.46% (529/619), 95.43% (188/197) and 80.81% (341/422), respectively. The performance of model 5 was the best in test set B, with the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 83.52% (517/619), 96.95% (191/197) and 77.25% (326/422), respectively. In terms of image recognition of EGC, the accuracy of models 2 to 5 was higher than that of model 1, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=147.90, 149.67, 134.20 and 115.30, all P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of models 2 and 3 were higher than those of model 1, the specificity of model 2 was lower than that of model 3, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=131.65, 64.15, 207.60, 262.03 and 96.73, all P < 0.01). The sensitivity of models 4 and 5 was higher than those of models 1 to 3, and the specificity of models 4 and 5 was lower than those of models 1 to 3, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=151.16, 165.49, 71.35, 112.47, 132.62, 153.14, 176.93, 74.62, 14.09, 15.47, 6.02 and 5.80, all P<0.05). The results of video test based on lesion showed that the average accuracy of doctors 1 to 4 was 68.16%. And the accuracy of models 1 to 5 was 69.47% (66/95), 69.47% (66/95), 70.53% (67/95), 76.84% (73/95) and 80.00% (76/95), respectively. There were no significant differences in the accuracy among models 1 to 5 and between models 1 to 5 and doctors 1 to 4 (all P>0.05). Conclusions:ME-BLI EGC recognition model based on deep learning has good accuracy, but the diagnostic effecacy is sligntly worse than that of ME-NBI model. The effects of EGC recognition model of ME-NBI combined with ME-BLI is better than that of a single model. A more sensitive ME-NBI model can be obtained by increasing the number of ME-NBI images, especially the images of EGG, but the specificity is worse.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the effects of metformin on mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and oxidative stress in cell model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.@*Methods@#An in vitro cell model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease was established using 0.6 mmol/L oleic acid to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were divided into control (Con) group, oleic acid (OA) group, and metformin-low (1mmol/L) and high (10mmol/L) dose group. Oil Red O stain was used to detect intracellular lipid droplet distribution. The levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the culture supernatant were detected by assay kits. DCFH-DA method was used to detect the reactive oxygen species of HepG2 cells. Double staining flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells. Western blot was used to detect caspase-3, B-lymphocyte lymphoma-related protein, B-cell lymphoma 2, and cytochrome c protein. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the data between groups.@*Results@#Oleic acid-induced HepG2 cells were significantly increased with lipid droplets. Low and high-dose metformin had reduced intracellular lipid droplets accumulation. The effect of metformin in the high-dose group was more significant than that in the low-dose group. Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in HepG2 cells of OA group were significantly increased, which were (43.41 ± 7.11) U/L and (29.56 ± 4.11) U/L, respectively. The intracellular aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were decreased significantly after the treatment with low and high-dose metformin, which were (32.44 ± 4.08)U/L, (19.31 ± 3.03) U/L, (26.00 ± 3.11) U/L and (15.11 ± 4.11) U/L, respectively and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). DCFH-DA test results showed that the fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species in the oleic acid group was 41.21% ± 4.23%, while the fluorescence intensity of reactive oxygen species in the low and high-dose metformin groups were reduced to 27.44% ± 3.91%, and 17.55% ± 5.11%, respectively and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that the cell apoptosis rate of the OA group was significantly higher than that of the Con group (12.12% ± 0.72% vs. 3.04% ± 0.57%, P < 0.05).The apoptosis rate of HepG2 cells was significantly reduced after metformin treatment at low and high doses (8.71% ± 0.71%, 5.71% ± 0.61%, P < 0.05). Western blot results showed that compared with the Con group, the expressions of B-lymphocyte lymphoma-related protein, cytochrome c, and caspase-3 were increased in the OA group, while the B-cell lymphoma 2 were decreased (P < 0.05). The expression of B-lymphocyte lymphoma-related protein, cytochrome c, and caspase-3 protein in HepG2 cells was decreased after treatment with low and high-dose metformin, while B-cell lymphoma 2 was increased (P < 0.05).@*Conclusion@#Metformin can effectively alleviate steatosis and improve the HepG2 function in cell model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The mechanism of metformin may be related to the reduction of oxidative stress injury, the regulation of protein expression related to mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and the inhibition of cell apoptosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the clinical features of esophageal foreign body(EFB) difficult to remove by gastroscopy.Methods The clinical data of 159 patients with EFBs treated in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2013 to April 2017 were analyzed retrospectively.Among 159 cases,the EFBs were removed by gastroscopy in 101 cases(gastroscope group)and removed by non-gastroscope method in 58 cases (non-gastroscope group),including 42 cases removed by esophagoscopy and 16 cases by surgery.The general information of patients,the types of EFB,the condition of impaction,treatments and outcomes of the two groups were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in age and sex between gastroscope group and non-gastroscope group (P > 0.05).The food typeEFBs included fish bone (n =77),chicken bone (n =45),jujube seeds (n =15),food bolus (n =4);and the non-food type FEBs included spectecleslens (n =2),bottle cap (n =11),denture (n =5).More than one half of FBs were located in the upper esophagus:63.4% (64/101) in gastroscope group and 66.7% (28/42) in esophagoscope subgroup;however,EFBs were mostly located in the middle esophagus in surgery subgroup (62.5%,10/16).In gastroscope group and esophagoscope subgroup,the sharp EFBs of length-diameter > 2 cm were rare(n =4,3.9% and n =3,7.1%),but were common in the surgery group (n =9,56.3%).The EFBs were successfully removed in all patients without massive hemorrhage or death.In gastroscope group (n =101),93 cases had mucosal abrasion and bleeding,5 cases had mild active bleeding,and 1 case had esophageal fistula.In surgical removal (n =16) there were 4 cases of esophageal perforation and postoperative inflammation,3 cases of mediastinal inflammation and 2 cases of mediastinal abscess.Inesophagoscopic removal group (n =42),there were 2 cases of esophageal muscle layer abscess,1 case of esophageal fistula and 1 case of pulmonary infection.Conclusions The most common type of EFBs is of food source.Foreign bodies in the upper and middle segments of the esophagusare difficult to remove with gastroscopy.In case of a sharp foreign body embedded in the middle esophagus,surgical removal is preferred to avoid severe sequences.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the role of microRNA-490-5p (miR-490-5p) in the regulation of visceral sensitivity in rats with intestinal dysfunction.Methods The lentivirus vector system was used to construct the rno-miRNA-490-5p lentivirus expression vector.The rats were divided into normal group,diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) group,lentivirus empty vector group and the siRNA silent group and the latter three groups were model groups.The efficiency of siRNA was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The rats were gavaged with 10% India ink,and then the time of first black stool,water content of feces and threshold of expansion capacity caused abdominal elevation or back arching were calculated.The visceral sensitivity of rats after miRNA-490-5p silenced was evaluated with abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score by stimulating with different intensities of colonic dilatation.The abdominal electrical activity of rats stimulated by colonic distension was measured by BL-420F biological and functional experimental system.The change of the tension of rats isolated colon intestinal stimulated with acetylcholine chloride was also detected by BL-420F biological and functional experimental system.T test was used to compare the differences between the model groups and the normal group.One way analysis of variance was performed for multi-group comparison after miRNA-490-5p interfered.For comparison between two groups among multiple groups,least significant difference (LSD) method was used when the variance was equal,and Games-Howell method was used when the variance was unequal.Results The gastrointestinal propulsion time and the threshold of expansion capacity caused abdominal elevation or back arching of model groups were both lower than those of the normal group ((8.54±4.07) hvs (12.33±2.23) h,(0.56±0.08) mL vs (0.84±0.09) mL),and the differences were statistically significant (t =2.62 and 6.37,both P < 0.05).After distension with 0.8 mL and 1.2 mL sodium chloride solution,the AWR scores of model groups were significantly higher than those of the normal group (3.20±0.56 vs 1.20±0.45,3.73±0.46 vs 2.60±0.55),and the differences were statistically significant (t=7.20 and 4.58,both P<0.01).There was no significant difference in AWR score between the model groups and the normal group when distended with 1.6 mL sodium chloride solution (3.93 ±0.26 vs 3.80 ± 0.45) (P>0.05).After miRNA-490-5p silenced,gastrointestinal propulsion time of normal group,IBS-D group,lentivirus empty vector group and the siRNA silent group was (11.12±1.01) h,(6.23±3.17) h,(6.09 ± 2.26) h and (12.36±1.97) h,and the differences among four groups were statistically significant (F=10.55,P<0.01).The abdominal electrical activity of normal group,IBS-D group,lentivirus empty vector group and the siRNA silent group distension stimulated with 0.8 mL and 1.2 mL sodium chloride solution was (64.91 ± 10.50),(101.79 ±11.73),(80.49±1.27),(66.92±3.24) μV,and (105.09±52.40),(131.71± 16.74),(111.00±6.41) and (95.49± 4.2) μV,and the differences among four groups were statistically significant (F=16.82 and 9.14,both P<0.05).There was no significant difference in abdominal electrical activity amplitude between silenced group and normal group ((66.92±3.24) μV vs (64.91±10.49) μV and (95.49±4.22) μV vs (105.09±2.40) μV) (all P> 0.05).After distension with 1.6 mL sodium chloride solution,the abdominal electrical activity amplitudeof silenced group was lower than the other groups,and the differences were statistically significant (F=11.09,P<0.01).After adding 1∶1 000 acetylcholine chloride added,the tension of colon of normal group,IBS-D group,lentivirus empty vector group and the siRNA silent group increased by 0.71 ± 0.21,0.81±0.06,0.88±0.21 and 0.43±0.07,however there was no significant difference among the four groups (F=2.57,P =0.100).Conclusions Visceral hypersensitivity existed in rats with intestinal dysfunction.miRNA-490-5p may be involved in the regulation of visceral sensitivity.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the feasibility and application value of total enteroscopy with double balloon enteroscopy(DBE)for diagnosis and treatment of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding(OGIB). Methods The clinical and endoscopic data of patients underwent DBE for OGIB in the Department of Gastroenterology,Remin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2010 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Total enteroscopy was indicated in 36.3%(136/375)of patients. The success rate was 86.0%(117/136)and complication rate was 1.5%(2/136). Negative findings,non-small bowel lesions and small bowel lesions were detected in 44.4%(52/117), 6.8%(8/117), and 48.7%(57/117)of patients with total enteroscopy. Re-bleeding occurred in 8.9%(4/45)of patients with negative total enteroscopy,while 1 small bowel mesenchymoma and 1 gastric fundus Dieulafoy′s lesion were revealed subsequently. Re-bleeding occurred in 33.3%(5/15)of patients with incomplete enteroscopy,and 1 small bowel polyp and 1 small bowel angiectasis were revealed subsequently. Conclusion DBE can complete total enteroscopy within one day and provide important clinical information of OGIB. Non-small bowel lesions,small bowel lesion missed by DBE and potential bleeding lesions in small bowel beyond the reach of DBE should be considered in patients with negative enteroscopy.
RESUMEN
Objective To assess the value of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in etiological diagnosis of small bowel ulcer.Methods The clinical and endoscopic data of patients undergoing DBE at the Department of Gastroenterology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2010 to January 2016 were reviewed.For patients with small bowel ulcer revealed by DBE, the etiologic diagnosis was retrospectively analyzed.Results One hundred and three patients with small bowel ulcer were included in the analysis.The initial diagnosis based on morphology of ulcer was Crohn's disease (58.3%, 60/103), intestinal tuberculosis (18.4%,19/103), etiology unknown (24.3%, 25/103).The final diagnosis comprehensively based on pathology, clinical data and disease outcome was Crohn's disease (44.7%,46/103), intestinal tuberculosis (18.4%,19/103), lymphoma (3.8%,4/103), eosinophils enteritis (1.9%,2/103), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug enteritis (1.9%,2/103), adenocarcinoma (1.0%,1/103), stroma tumor (1.0%,1/103),ischemic enteritis (1.0%,1/103), vascular malformation (1.0%,1/103), Henoch-Schonlein purpura (1.0%,1/103), etiology unknown (24.3,25/103).The accurate diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate for Crohn's disease by DBE were 73.3%(44/60)and 10.0%(6/60).The accurate diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate for intestinal tuberculosis by DBE were 14/18 and 2/18.Conclusion There are diversity and complexity in etiologic diagnosis of small bowel ulcer.The diagnosis should be based on the comprehensive analysis of morphology of ulcer, endoscopic and surgical pathology and clinical data.Follow up of small bowel ulcer by DBE may provide important information for etiologic diagnosis.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the patterns of change in serum triglyceride (TG) during the clinical course of acute pancreatitis (AP) and its clinical relevance.Methods Eighty one consecutive cases of AP were retrospectively reviewed.Based on their TG levels on admission,the patients were divided into high TG group (TG ≥ 11.3 mmol/L),median TG group (5.65 ≤ TG < 11.3 mmol/L) and low TG group (TG < 5.65 mmoL/L).They were additionally categorized into different treatment groups depending upon whether they received hemopurification,lipid lowering drugs or fat emulsions parenteral nutrition,and no special treatment group.The clinical characteristics and the patterns of change in TG were analyzed.Results The mean age of high,median,low TG group was (40 ± 10),(40 ±8),(51 ± 13) years old,and the difference among the high,median TG group and low TG group was statistically significant (P < 0.01),but there was no significant difference between high and median TG group.In terms of sex,history of diabetes,hypertension,hypertriglyceridemia,acute pancreatitis,smoking and drinking,predisposing factors,disease onset season,severity of AP and hospitalization length,there was no significant difference among the 3 groups.Within the first 48h of admission,the TG levels of high and median TG group decreased significantly,and the percent of decline was (33.77 ± 26.57) %,(43.46 ± 17.76) % in the first day,and it was (66.33 ± 17.20) %,(57.50 ± 2.70) % in the second day,then it gradually decreased,but maintained a slightly higher level than normal.In contrast,no trend of decrease in TG during hospitalization was observed in low TG group.The patterns of change in TG in patients receiving hemopurification or lipid-lowering drugs were similar to those without special treatment.Fat emulsions parenteral nutrition exerted no significant influence on TG level in patients of low TG in no special treatment group.Of the patients without special treatment,the TG and total serum cholesterol level was positively correlated,while there was no correlation with other parameters.Conclusions The patterns of change in TG during the clinical course of AP vary with the patients' TG level on admission.If the decrease of TG does not reach 1/3 with routine treatment within the first 48 h,hemopurification therapy may be considered;for patients with TG < 5.65 mmol/L,fat emulsions parenteral nutrition treatment can be accepted.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene has been implicated in the development of alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC) in East Asians. However, the results are inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations between the ALDH2 polymorphism and the risk of ALC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Relevant studies were retrieved by searching PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang and Veipu databases up to January 10, 2015. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using either the fixed- or random effects model. RESULTS: A total of twelve case-control studies included 1003 cases and 2011 controls were included. Overall, the ALDH2 polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of ALC (*1/*2 vs. *1/*1: OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.61-0.99). However, in stratification analysis by country, we failed to detect any association among Chinese, Korean or Japanese populations. CONCLUSION: The pooled evidence suggests that ALDH2 polymorphism may be an important protective factor for ALC in East Asians.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Neurotensin is a gut-brain peptide with both inhibitory and excitatory actions on the colonic musculature; our objective was to understand the implications of this for motor patterns occurring in the intact colon of the rat. METHODS: The effects of neurotensin with concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 nM were studied in the intact rat colon in vitro, by investigating spatio-temporal maps created from video recordings of colonic motility before and after neurotensin. RESULTS: Low concentration of neurotensin (0.1-1 nM) inhibited propagating long distance contractions and rhythmic propagating motor complexes; in its place a slow propagating rhythmic segmental motor pattern developed. The neurotensin receptor 1 antagonist SR-48692 prevented the development of the segmental motor pattern. Higher concentrations of neurotensin (10 nM and 100 nM) were capable of restoring long distance contraction activity and inhibiting the segmental activity. The slow propagating segmental contraction showed a rhythmic contraction—relaxation cycle at the slow wave frequency originating from the interstitial cells of Cajal associated with the myenteric plexus pacemaker. High concentrations given without prior additions of low concentrations did not evoke the segmental motor pattern. These actions occurred when neurotensin was given in the bath solution or intraluminally. The segmental motor pattern evoked by neurotensin was inhibited by the neural conduction blocker lidocaine. CONCLUSIONS: Neurotensin (0.1-1 nM) inhibits the dominant propulsive motor patterns of the colon and a distinct motor pattern of rhythmic slow propagating segmental contractions develops. This motor pattern has the hallmarks of haustral boundary contractions.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of electrocoagulation syndrome after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients with colorectal lesions.Methods Clinical data of 145 patients with colorectal mucosal lesions undergoing ESD in People's Hospital of Wuhan University between September 2010 and September 2015 were retrospectively studied.Results Among 45 patients,post endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome (PEECS) was developed in 32 cases (22%).The median age in PEECS group was higher (t =-5.783,P =0.000),the median lesion size was larger(t =-5.590,P =0.000),the median length of hospital stay was longer (t =-6.841,P =0.000) than those in non-PEECS group.Univariate regression analysis showed PEECS was associated with the age,lesion size,lesion location,length of hospital stay,malignant tumor,polyps type,resection modality.Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the development of electrocoagulation syndrome were age >65 year (OR =1.123,95% CI:1.013-1.244,P =0.027),lesion size > 3.5 cm (OR =1.173,95% CI:1.015-1.357,P =0.031),malignant tumor (OR =3.498,95 % CI:1.460-8.379,P =0.005),hospital stay > 10 d (OR =2.480,95% CI:1.346-4.569,P =0.004),non-rectal lesions (OR =12.612,95% CI:3.446-46.157,P =0.000).Conclusion Attention should be paid for colorectal lesion patients with high risk of PEECS,when endoscopic submucosal dissection is performed.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Several endoscopic resection therapies have been applied for the treatment of rectal carcinoid tumors. However, there is currently no consensus regarding the optimal strategy. We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) or modified EMR (m-EMR) versus endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of rectal carcinoid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase and CNKI were searched up to the end of January 2014 in order to identify all studies on the effects of EMR (or m-EMR) and ESD on rectal carcinoid tumors. RESULTS: A total of fourteen studies involving 782 patients were included. The pooled data suggested a significantly higher rate of pathological complete resection among patients treated with ESD or m-EMR than those treated with EMR [odds ratio (OR)=0.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.25-0.71; OR=0.10, 95% CI: 0.03-0.33, respectively], while there was no significant difference between the m-EMR group and ESD group (OR=1.19, 95% CI: 0.49-2.86); The procedure time of ESD was longer than EMR or m-EMR groups [mean differences (MD)=-11.29, 95% CI: -14.19 - -8.38, MD= -10.90, 95% CI: -18.69 - -3.11, respectively], but it was insignificance between the EMR and m-EMR groups. No significant differences were detected among the treatment groups with regard to complications or recurrence. CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that treatment of rectal carcinoid tumors with ESD or m-EMR is superior to EMR, and the efficacy of m-EMR is equivalence to ESD treatment. However, more well-designed studies are needed to confirm these findings.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the potential role of exogenous hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) and ATP-sensitive po-tassium ( KATP ) channels in chronic stress-induced colonic hypermotility.METHODS:Male Wistar rats were divided into water avoidance stress ( WAS) group and sham WAS ( SWAS) group.Organ bath recordings were used to test the contrac-tile activity of colonic strips.The effects of H2 S donor NaHS and pretreatment with glibenclamide on the contractions of co-lonic smooth muscle were studied and the IC50 of NaHS was calculated.The localization and expression of the subunits of KATP channels were determined by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.RESULTS:WAS increased contractile activity of colonic strips.NaHS concentration-dependently inhibited the spontaneous contractions of strips from the SWAS and WAS rats.The IC50 of NaHS for longitudinal muscle ( LM) and circular muscle ( CM) of the WAS rats was 0.2033 mmol/L and 0.1438 mmol/L, significantly lower than those of the SWAS rats.Glibenclamide significantly in-creased the IC50 of NaHS for LM and CM from the SWAS and WAS rats.In both SWAS and WAS rat colon, Kir6.1, Kir6.2 and SUR2B were expressed on the plasma membrane of the smooth muscle cells.WAS treatment resulted in up-reg-ulation of the expression of Kir6.1 and SUR2B in the colon devoid of mucosa and submucosa.CONCLUSION: The in-creased expression of Kir 6.1 and SUR2B in colonic smooth muscle cells may be a defensive response to chronic WAS.H2 S donors may have potential clinical effect on treating chronic stress-induced colonic hypermotility.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the association between patatin-like phospholipase domaincontaining protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene rs738409 polymorphism and the susceptibility of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods Data bases were comprehensively searched to retrace all the related studies on the association between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and susceptibility.Of NAFLD,the pooled OR with 95% CI of the association between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and NAFLD susceptibility were performed using different genetic models.Subgroup analysis based on the source of population and sensitivity analysis was performed to detect the stability of results.Results 28 original studies with 6 216 patients and 8 218 controls were involved in the final combination of data.Findings from the meta-analyses showed that there were strong associations between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and the susceptibility of NAFLD,under different genetic model comparisons [GG vs.CC:OR=2.42,95%CI:1.83-3.21,P<0.001 ;CG vs.CC:OR=1.28,95%CI:1.15-1.43,P<0.001 ; CG+GG vs.CC:OR=1.31,95%CI:1.17-1.46,P< 0.001 ; GG vs.CC + GC:OR=2.26,95%CI:1.76-2.90,P<0.001].Similar results were found in both Asian and Caucasian populations.Conclusion Results from the Meta-analysis strongly suggested that there appeared significant association between PNPLA3 gene rs738409 polymorphism and the susceptibility of NAFLD.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the clinical features of sentinel polyps (rectal polyps with proximal colon carcinoma) and its correlation with proximal colon carcinoma.Methods From January 2003 to December 2013,the clinical features of 963 hospitalized patients with rectal polyps were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the patient with colon carcinoma,the clinical data of rectal polyps patients were divided into pure polyps group (n=855) and sentinel polyps group (n 108).The characteristics under endoscopy,clinical pathological features,treatment and prognosis of the two groups were observed.Chi square test was performed for differences comparison between groups.Results The length of stay in hospital of 963 patients was from four to 33 days,the average age was (49.7 ± 9.4) years,and the majority of the patients were male (n=610,63.3%).A total of 785 patients (81.5%) had non-specific abdominal symptoms,such as frequency or habit change of defecation,hematochezia,abdominal pain,abdominal distension.The relatives within three generation of 78 patients (8.1 %) were diagnosed with tumor and some relatives of the patients diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (2.2%,21/963).The positive rate of tumor marker of sentinel polyps group was higher (69.4%,75/ 108) than that of pure polyps group (6.8%,58/855; x2 =316.285,P<0.01).The proximal colon carcinoma of patients with sentinel polyps appeared as neoplasma with circumferential growth,there was no specific appearance between distal rectal polyps and proximal colon carcinoma.When compared with pure polyps group,most polyps of sentinel polyps group were in maximum diameter over 1 cm (61.1% (66/108) vs 46.9% (401/855)),multi polyps (n>5,38.9% (42/108) vs 11.8% (101/855)) and adenomatous polyp (83.3% (90/108) vs 35.6%(304/855),x2=7.752,55.595 and 90.544,all P< 0.01).Majority of the proximal colon carcinoma with rectal polyps was papillary adenocarcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma which was account for 75.9% (82/108).Some were mucinous carcinoma and signet ring cell carcinoma.Most of the proximal colon carcinoma with rectal polys did not penetrate the serosa layer (Duk A-+Duk B,59.3%,64/108) and with little distant metastasis (Duke D,17.6%,19/ 108).Ninty-five point six percent (817/855) of patients with pure polyps underwent endoscopic treatment and all of them were cured and discharged.Forty-one point seven percent (45/108) of patients of sentinel polyps group accepted the radical operation and 19.4% (21/108) received endoscopic submucosal dissection.Conclusions If multiple,maximum diameter over 1 cm and adenomatous rectal polyps were detected under colon endoscope,the possibility of carcinogenesis of the polyps or the proximal colon should be awared.If the endoscope is difficult to go further or the patient can not tolerate the whole colon examination,the patient should be followed up in short-term and complete the whole colon examination.
RESUMEN
Objective To study whether matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP)-1562C/T (rs3918242) and MMP-2-1306C/T (rs243865) were associated with the susceptibility on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the interactions between the two factors and central obesity.Methods Genotypes of 545 patients and 636 subjects with NAFLD under control were examined by polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Unconditional logistic regression (ULR) was performed to assess the NAFLD risk.The geneenvironment interactions on the risk of NAFLD were explored by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) and ULR methods.Results Results from the case-control analysis indicated that there was an increased risk of developing NAFLD for MMP-9 rs3918242 (TT/CT) genotype carriers,when compared with the non-carriers (CC),with OR=1.67,95% CI:1.32-2.12,P=0.001;Adjusted OR=1.65,95%CI:1.31-2.01 (P=0.008).However,risk reduction of NAFLD was found when MMP-2 rs243865 (TT/CT) genotype carriers compared with the non-carriers (CC),with OR=0.68,95%CI:0.53-0.86,P=0.001;with adjusted OR=0.66,95%CI:0.49-0.90 (P=0.007).Data from the GMDR showed that gene-environment interaction among rs3918242 and central obesity on the risk of NAFLD might be significant (P=0.001).By using the ULR method,subjects as central obesity-positive but with genotype CT/TT,appeared having 4.50 (95% CI:2.78-7.17,P =0.007) times risk of NAFLD,when compared to the central obesity-negative subjects with genotype CC after adjusting for the covariates.Conclusion MMP-9 rs3918242,MMP-2 rs243865 were associated with risk of NAFLD while both rs3918242 and central obesity showing synergistic effects on the risk of the NAFLD.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effects of alpha-lipoic acid on urinary albumin excretion in the patients with early diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods:Totally 103 patients with early DN were randomly divided into the control group (n=59) and the treat-ment group ( n=44 ) . The two groups were both treated with dietary control and hypoglycemic drugs. The patients in the treatment group were given alpha-lipoic acid 450 mg·d-1 by intravenous infusion for 10 days on the basis of the initial therapy. The levels of HbA1c, BP, lipids, urinary 8-OHdG, urinary MCP-1 and urinary albumin were determined. Results:Compared with those in the con-trol group, urinary 8-OHdG, MCP-1 and urinary albumin were decreased significantly after alpha-lipoic acid treatment. The changes in HbA1c, BP and lipids were not significant. Conclusion:Aalpha-lipoic acid can decrease urinary albumin and 8-OHdG by lowering the expression of ROS and MCP-1.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the predictive factors of acute pancreatitis for patients with gallstone.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with gallstones who were admitted to Department of Gastroenterology,People's Hospital of Wuhan University were selected,the gallbladder size,number and size of gallstones,common bile duct stones were determined by imaging study.Then the patients were grouped according to the complication of acute pancreatitis.Results Sixty-one cases of acute pancreatitis occurred out of 118 patients.The gallbladder size of 74 patients was normal,and among them 49(66.2%) developed acute pancreatitis; the gallbladder size of 44 patients was increased or decreased,and among them 12(27.3%)developed AP.Thirty-one patients had a single gallstone,and 11 (35.5%) developed AP; while 87 patients had multiple gallstones,and 50 (57.5%) was complicated with AP.Among patients with AP,11 patients had a single gallstone,and the size of the gallstone in the 8 patients (72.7%) was ≥10 mm; while 50 patients had multiple gallstones,and the size of the gallstone in the 41 patients (82.0%) was < 10 mm.Nineteen patients were complicated with common bile duct stones,and 17 (89.5%) developed AP; while 99 patients were not complicated with common bile duct stones,and 44 (44.4%) developed AP.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =16.758,P =0.000 ; x2 =4.425,P =0.029 ; x2 =13.434,P =0.001 ; x2 =12.994,P =0.000).Conclusions Acute biliary pancreatitis is associated with gallstones.The size of gallbladder,size and number of gallstone,as well as the presence of common bile duct stones are related to the development of AP.
