Abstract The management of primary and secondary malignant liver tumors poses a great challenge to clinicians. Although surgical resection is the gold‐standard treatment, most patients have unresectable malignant liver tumors. Over the past decade, various modalities of loco‐regional therapy have gained much interest. Among them, thermal ablative therapy, including ...... hiện toàn bộ
Visceral adipose tissue area is an independent risk factor for hepatic steatosisJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 23 Số 6 - Trang 900-907 - 2008

AbstractBackground and Aim: Recent data indicate that hepatic steatosis is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and obesity (especially central body fat distribution). There have been few studies on the correlation between biopsy‐proven hepatic steatosis and the above factors in a disease‐free population. The aim of the present st...... hiện toàn bộ
Chewing gum reduces postoperative ileus following abdominal surgery: A meta‐analysis of 17 randomized controlled trialsJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 28 Số 7 - Trang 1122-1132 - 2013

AbstractBackground and AimChewing gum proposal has been used in surgery to reduce postoperative ileus for more than 10 years; however, the efficacy remains imprecise. The aim of this study was to accurately assess whether the use of the chewing gum could reduce duration of postoperative ileus following the abdominal surgery.... hiện toàn bộ
Biopsy site for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancerJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 469-474 - 2009

AbstractBackground: Helicobacter pylori eradication is recommended in post‐gastric cancer resection, but premalignant changes may prevent the detection of H. pylori. The aim of this study was to determine appropriate biopsy site for detecting H. pylori in gastr...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of Helicobacter pylori CagA diversity on gastric mucosal damage: An immunohistochemical study of East‐Asian‐type CagAJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 688-693 - 2011

AbstractBackground and Aims: Recently, we successfully produced an anti‐East‐Asian‐type CagA‐specific antibody called α‐EAS Ab, which is specifically immunoreactive only with East‐Asian‐type CagA but not Western‐type CagA. In this study, the correlations between Helicobacter pylori CagA protein diversity and gastri...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of gut‐derived bacterial toxins and free radicals in alcohol‐induced liver injuryJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 13 Số S1 - 1998

Previous research from this laboratory using a continuous enteral ethanol (EtOH) administration model demonstrated that Kupffer cells are pivotal in the development of EtOH‐induced liver injury. When Kupffer cells were destroyed using gadolinium chloride (GdCl3) or the gut was sterilized with polymyxin B and neomycin, early inflammation due to EtOH was blocked. Anti‐tu...... hiện toàn bộ
New simple prognostic score for primary biliary cirrhosis: Albumin‐bilirubin scoreJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 30 Số 9 - Trang 1391-1396 - 2015

AbstractBackground and AimSerum albumin and bilirubin are the most significant independent prognostic factors to predict hepatic events in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of a new prognostic score, the a...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of recombinant HCV antigen in the serodiagnosis of hepatitis C virus infection: Significant improvement in HCV antibody detection as compared with the first generation HCV C100‐3 ELISA and the synthetic peptide EIA testsJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 8 Số S1 - 1993

AbstractHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection can be detected by using immunoassay techniques that measure reactivity to viral protein antigens. In this study seven discreet proteins derived from HCV genomic coding sequences have been expressed, purified and characterized. Six proteins represent the structural regions of the core (C22‐3), the envelope (E1 and E2), and ...... hiện toàn bộ
