    T cell immunopathogenesis and immunotherapeutic strategies for chronic hepatitis B virus infection

    查看更多>>摘要:Hepatitis B is caused by the host immune response and T cells play a major role in the immunopathogenesis.More importantly,T cells not only destroy hepatocytes infected by hepatitis B virus (HBV),but also control HBV replication or eradicate HBV in a noncytolytic manner.Therefore,analysis of T cell immune response during acute and chronic HBV infection is important to develop a strategy for successful viral control,which could lead to immunotherapy for terminating persistent HBV infection.There have been many attempts at immunotherapy for chronic HBV infection,and some have shown promising results.High viral load has been shown to suppress antiviral immune responses and immunoinhibitory signals have been recently elucidated,therefore,viral suppression by nucleos(t)ide analogs,stimulation of antiviral immune response,and suppression of the immunoinhibitory signals must be combined to achieve desirable antiviral effects.

    查看更多>>摘要:Hyperplastic polyps have traditionally been considered not to have malignant potential.New pathological classification of serrated polyps and recent discoveries about the serrated pathway of carcinogenesis have revolutionized the concepts and revitalized the research in this area.Until recently,it has been thought that most colorectal cancers arise from conventional adenomas via the traditional tumor suppressor pathway initiated by a mutation of the APC gene,but it has been found that this pathway accounts for only approximately 70%-80%of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases.The majority of the remaining colorectal cancer cases follow an alternative pathway leading to CpG island methylator phenotype carcinoma with BRAF mutation and with or without microsatellite instability.The mechanism of carcinomas arising from this alternative pathway seems to begin with an activating mutation of the BRAF oncogene.Serrated polyposis syndrome is a relatively rare condition characterized by multiple and/or large serrated polyps of the colon.Clinical characteristics,etiology and relationship of serrated polyposis syndrome to CRC have not been clarified yet.Patients with this syndrome show a high risk of CRC and both sporadic and hereditary cases have been described.Clinical criteria have been used for diagnosis and frequent colonoscopy surveillance should be performed in order to prevent colorectal cancer.In this review,we try to gather new insights into the molecular pathogenesis of serrated polyps in order to understand their possible clinical implications and to make an approach to the management of this syndrome.

    Globus pharyngeus: A review of its etiology, diagnosis and treatment

    查看更多>>摘要:Globus is a persistent or intermittent non-painful sensation of a lump or foreign body in the throat.It is a commonly encountered clinical condition that is usually long-lasting,difficult to treat,and has a tendency to recur.Furthermore,due to the uncertain etiology of globus,it remains difficult to establish standard investigation and treatment strategies for affected patients.As a first step for managing globus,careful history taking and nasolaryngoscopy are essential.Given the benign nature of the condition and the recent notion that gastroesophageal reflux disease is a major cause of globus,empirical therapy with a high dose of proton pump inhibitors is reasonable for patients with typical globus.If patients are nonresponsive to this therapy,definitive assessments such as endoscopy,multichannel intraluminal impedance/pH monitoring,and manometry should be considered.Speech and language therapy,anti-depressants,and cognitive-behavioral therapy can be helpful in patients whose symptoms persist despite negative investigations.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive mosapride citrate for bowel preparation before colonoscopy.METHODS:We conducted a randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled study with mosapride in addition to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-electrolyte solution.Of 250 patients undergoing colonoscopy,124 were randomized to receive 2 L PEG plus 15 mg of mosapride citrate (mosapride group),and 126 received 2 L PEG plus placebo (placebo group).Patients completed a questionnaire reporting the acceptability and tolerability of the bowel preparation process.The efficacy of bowel preparation was assessed by colonoscopists using a 5-point scale based on Aronchick's criteria.The primary end point was optimal bowel preparation rates (scores of excellent/good/fair vs poor/inadequate).RESULTS:A total of 249 patients were included in the analysis.In the mosapride group,optimal bowel preparation rates were significantly higher in the left colon compared with the placebo group (78.2% vs 65.6%,P < 0.05),but not in the right colon (76.5% vs 66.4%,P =0.08).After excluding patients with severe constipation,there was a significant difference in bowel preparation in both the left and right colon (82.4% vs 66.7%,80.8% vs 67.5%,P < 0.05,P < 0.01).The incidence of adverse events was similar in both groups.Among the subgroup who had previous colonoscopy experience,a significantly higher number of patients in the mosapride group felt that the current preparation was easier compared with patients in the placebo group (34/72 patients vs 24/74 patients,P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:Mosapride citrate may be an effective and safe adjunct to PEG-electrolyte solution that leads to improved quality of bowel preparation,especially in patients without severe constipation.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To determine the utility of endoscopic ultrasoundguided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) with a fully covered self-expandable metal stent for managing malignant biliary stricture.METHODS:We collected data from 13 patients who presented with malignant biliary obstruction and underwent EUS-BD with a nitinol fully covered selfexpandable metal stent when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) fails.EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CD) and EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HG) was performed in 9 patients and 4 patients,respectively.RESULTS:The technical and functional success rate was 92.3% (12/13) and 91.7% (11/12),respectively.Using an intrahepatic approach (EUS-HG,n =4),there was mild peritonitis (n =1) and migration of the metal stent to the stomach (n =1).With an extrahepatic approach (EUS-CD,n =10),there was pneumoperitoneum (n =2),migration (n =2),and mild peritonitis (n =1).All patients were managed conservatively with antibiotics.During follow-up (range,1-12 mo),there was re-intervention (4/13 cases,30.7%) necessitated by stent migration (n =2) and stent occlusion (n =2).CONCLUSION:EUS-BD with a nitinol fully covered self-expandable metal stent may be a feasible and effective treatment option in patients with malignant biliary obstruction when ERCP fails.
