AbstractBackground and Aims: Interferon regulatory factor‐1 (IRF‐1) is a
transcription factor with antiviral, proinflammatory and tumor suppressor
properties. We examined the role of IRF‐1 in dextran sulfate sodium colitis, a
murine model of inflammatory bowel disease, to determine if absence of the gene
would protect against colitis.Methods: C57BL/6J mice with a targeted disruption
of IRF‐1 and w... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical usefulness of subgrouping of patients with non‐cardiac chest pain according to characteristic symptoms in KoreaJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 320-325 - 2007

AbstractBackground: Non‐cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a heterogeneous disorder.
There is controversy about the associations between symptoms and causes in NCCP
patients. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical
usefulness of subgrouping according to characteristic symptoms in NCCP
patients.Patients and Methods: Fifty‐eight patients were classified into two
groups, as patients... hiện toàn bộ
Cystic fibrosis: An update for clinicians. Part 1: Nutrition and gastrointestinal complicationsJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 29 Số 7 - Trang 1344-1355 - 2014
Wolfram Haller, Oren Ledder, Peter Lewindon, Richard Couper, Kevin Gaskin, Mark Oliver
AbstractDuring three decades, the demographics of cystic fibrosis (CF) has
undergone a significant change. Advances in nutritional and pulmonary management
allow the vast majority of patients reaching adulthood today. With increasing
survival, new and previously less common aspects of CF are encountered by the
clinician expanding the concept of CF as a multisystem disease. The first part
of this t... hiện toàn bộ
Des‐γ‐carboxyprothrombin, α‐fetoprotein and AFP‐L3 in patients with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinomaJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 23 Số 10 - Trang 1541-1548 - 2008
Francisco Durazo, Lawrence M. Blatt, William Corey, Jinpiao Lin, Steven Han, Sammy Saab, Ronald W. Busuttil, Myron J. Tong
AbstractBackground and Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common
complication in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Detection of HCC at an
early stage is critical for a favorable clinical outcome. The study aim was to:
(i) compare the levels of des‐γ‐carboxyprothrombin (DCP), α‐fetoprotein (AFP)
and AFP‐L3 in HCC patients and in chronic viral hepatitis patients without HCC;
(ii) define ... hiện toàn bộ
Expression of the caudal‐type homeodomain transcription factor CDX2 is related to clinical outcome in biliary tract carcinomaJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 389-394 - 2007
Yu‐Ting Chang, Chiun Hsu, Yung‐Ming Jeng, Ming‐Chu Chang, Shu‐Chen Wei, Jau–Min Wong
AbstractBackground and Aim: The caudal‐type homeodomain transcriptional factor
CDX2, a member of the caudal‐related homeobox gene family, plays a crucial role
in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the gut. Recent
studies have reported that expression of CDX2 was an independent marker of
outcome in patients with resected adenocarcinoma of ampulla of Vater, gastric
cancer, ... hiện toàn bộ
Diabetes is an independent risk factor for peptic ulcer bleeding: A nationwide population‐based cohort studyJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 28 Số 8 - Trang 1295-1299 - 2013
Yen‐Ling Peng, Hsin‐Bang Leu, Jiing‐Chyuan Luo, Chin‐Chou Huang, Ming‐Chih Hou, Han‐Chieh Lin, Fa‐Yauh Lee
AbstractBackground and AimsDiabetic patients reportedly have a higher incidence
of peptic ulcer disease. The aim of this study was to investigate if type II
diabetic patients have higher risk of developing peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) and
to identify possible risk factors of PUB in diabetic patients.MethodsUsing the
National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, records of 5699 type II

Clinical association between non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease and the development of hypertensionJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 29 Số 11 - Trang 1926-1931 - 2014
Jae‐Hong Ryoo, Young Ju Suh, Ho Cheol Shin, Yong Kyun Cho, Joong‐Myung Choi, Sung Keun Park
AbstractBackground and AimNon‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is getting
an increasing attention for its clinical implications on cardiovascular disease
(CVD). However, epidemiologic data are not so evident to sustain the causative
association between NAFLD and hypertension, the major cause of CVD. Accordingly,
we designed this study to investigate the clinical association between NAFLD and

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
Byung‐Joo Park, Yoon Jun Kim, Donghee Kim, Won Kim, Yeon-Ji Jung, Jung‐Hwan Yoon, Chung Y. Kim, Young M. Cho, Se H Kim, Kyoung Bun Lee, Ja June Jang, Hyo S. Lee
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 study was to evaluate the relation between
hepatic steatos... hiện toàn bộ
Predicting mortality in patients with cirrhosis of liver with application of neural network technologyJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Australia) - Tập 18 Số 9 - Trang 1054-1060 - 2003
Rupa Banerjee, Ananya Das, Uday C. Ghoshal, Madhumita Sinha
AbstractBackground: Prediction of mortality from cirrhosis is important in
planning optimal timing of liver transplantation and other interventions. We
evaluated the role of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which uses non‐linear
statistics for pattern recognition in predicting one‐year liver disease‐related
mortality using information available during initial clinical
evaluation.Methods: The... hiện toàn bộ
