    查看更多>>摘要:Biliary ductal changes are a common radiological finding in patients with portal hypertension,however only a small percentage of patients (5%-30%) develop symptomatic bile duct obstruction.The exact pathogenesis is not clear,but an involvement of factors such as bile duct compression by venous collaterals,ischemia,and infection is accepted by most authors.Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was used to define and diagnose this condition,magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography is currently the investigation of choice for diagnosing this condition.Treatment is indicated only for symptomatic cases.Portosystemic shunts are the treatment of choice for symptomatic portal biliopathy.In the majority of patients,the changes caused by biliopathy resolve after shunt surgery,however,15%-20% patients require a subsequent bilio-enteric bypass or endoscopic management for persistent biliopathy.There is a role for endoscopic therapy in patients with bile duct stones,cholangitis or when portosystemic shunt surgery is not feasible.

    查看更多>>摘要:Cholangiopathies are a group of diseases primarily or secondarily affecting bile duct cells,and result in cholangiocyte proliferation,regression,and/or transformation.Their etiopathogenesis may be associated with a broad variety of causes of different nature,which includes genetic,neoplastic,immune-associated,infectious,vascular,and drug-induced alterations,or being idiopathic.miRNAs,small non-coding endogenous RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression,have been associated with pathophysiological processes in different organs and cell types,and are postulated as potential targets for diagnosis and therapy.In the current manuscript,knowledge regarding the role of miRNAs in the development and/or progression of cholangiopathies has been reviewed and the most relevant findings in this promising field of hepatology have been highlighted.

    查看更多>>摘要:Biliary strictures are considered indeterminate when basic work-up,including transabdominal imaging and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with routine cytologic brushing,are non-diagnostic.Indeterminate biliary strictures can easily be mischaracterized which may dramatically affect patient's outcome.Early and accurate diagnosis of malignancy impacts not only a patient's candidacy for surgery,but also potential timely targeted chemotherapies.A significant portion of patients with indeterminate biliary strictures have benign disease and accurate diagnosis is,thus,paramount to avoid unnecessary surgery.Current sampling strategies have suboptimal accuracy for the diagnosis of malignancy.Emerging data on other diagnostic modalities,such as ancillary cytology techniques,single operator cholangioscopy,and endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration,revealed promising results with much improved sensitivity.

    查看更多>>摘要:Microscopic colitis may be defined as a clinical syndrome,of unknown etiology,consisting of chronic watery diarrhea,with no alterations in the large bowel at the endoscopic and radiologic evaluation.Therefore,a definitive diagnosis is only possible by histological analysis.The epidemiological impact of this disease has become increasingly clear in the last years,with most data coming from Western countries.Microscopic colitis includes two histological subtypes [collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC)] with no differences in clinical presentation and management.Collagenous colitis is characterized by a thickening of the subepithelial collagen layer that is absent in LC.The main feature of LC is an increase of the density of intra-epitll lial lymphocytes in the surface epithelium.A number of pathogenetic theories have been proposed over the years,involving the role of luminal agents,autoimmunity,eosinophils,genetics (human leukocyte antigen),biliary acids,infections,alterations of pericryptal fibroblasts,and drug intake; drugs like ticlopidine,carbamazepine or ranitidine are especially associated with the development of LC,while CC is more frequently linked to cimetidine,non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs and lansoprazole.Microscopic colitis typically presents as chronic or intermittent watery diarrhea,that may be accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain,weight loss and incontinence.Recent evidence has added new pharmacological options for the treatment of microscopic colitis:the role of steroidal therapy,especially oral budesonide,has gained relevance,as well as immunosuppressive agents such as azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine.The use of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents,infliximab and adalimumab,constitutes a new,interesting tool for the treatment of microscopic colitis,but larger,adequately designed studies are needed to confirm existing data.

    Management strategies of Barrett's esophagus

    查看更多>>摘要:Barrett's esophagus is a condition resulting from chronic gastro-esophageal reflux disease with a documented risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma.Current strategies for improved survival in patients with Barrett's adenocarcinoma focus on detection of dysplasia.This can be obtained by screening programs in high-risk cohorts of patients and/or endoscopic biopsy surveillance of patients with known Barrett's esophagus (BE).Several therapies have been developed in attempts to reverse BE and reduce cancer risk.Aggressive medical management of acid reflux,lifestyle modifications,antireflux surgery,and endoscopic treatments have been recommended for many patients with BE.Whether these interventions are cost-effective or reduce mortality from esophageal cancer remains controversial.Current treatment requires combinations of endoscopic mucosal resection techniques to eliminate visible lesions followed by ablation of residual metaplastic tissue.Esophagectomy is currently indicated in multifocal high-grade neoplasia or mucosal Barrett's carcinoma which cannot be managed by endoscopic approach.

    查看更多>>摘要:AIM:To gain insights into the molecular action of erlotinib in pancreatic cancer (PC) cells.METHODS:Two PC cell lines,BxPC-3 and Capan-1,were treated with various concentrations of erlotinib,the specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor U0126,and protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitor XIV.DNA synthesis was measured by 5-bromo2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assays.Expression and phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and downstream signaling molecules were quantified by Western blot analysis.The data were processed to calibrate a mathematical model,based on ordinary differential equations,describing the EGFRmediated signal transduction.RESULTS:Erlotinib significantly inhibited BrdU incorporation in BxPC-3 cells at a concentration of 1 μmol/L,whereas Capan-1 cells were much more resistant.In both cell lines,MEK inhibitor U0126 and erlotinib attenuated DNA synthesis in a cumulative manner,whereas the AKT pathway-specific inhibitor did not enhance the effects of erlotinib.While basal phosphorylation of EGFR and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) did not differ much between the two cell lines,BxPC-3 cells displayed a more than five-times higher basal phospho-AKT level than Capan-1 cells.Epidermal growth factor (EGF) at 10 ng/mL induced the phosphorylation of EGFR,AKT and ERK in both cell lines with similar kinetics.In BxPC-3 cells,higher levels of phospho-AKT and phospho-ERK (normalized to the total protein levels) were observed.Independent of the cell line,erlotinib efficiently inhibited phosphorylation of EGFR,AKT and ERK.The mathematical model successfully simulated the experimental findings and provided predictions regarding phosphoprotein levels that could be verified experimentally.CONCLUSION:Our data suggest basal AKT phosphorylation and the degree of EGF-induced activation of AKT and ERK as molecular determinants of erlotinib efficiency in PC cells.
