Background
Despite the improvement of medical therapies, nearly half of patients with Crohn’s disease require surgery within 10?years after diagnosis. However, intestinal resection is not curative and recurrence may occur.Aims
To evaluate post-surgical outcomes for patients with Crohn’s disease in a large monocentric cohort, and to identify variables associated with clinical and surgical relapse.Methods
Patients with Crohn’s disease who had surgery for ileal and colonic Crohn’s disease between 2004 and 2016 and on at least one-year follow-up following surgery were included.Results
One hundred ninety-three patients were included in the study. Crohn’s disease recurrence concerned 53% of patients after a median 56-month (6–158) follow-up and 29% of patients required a second surgical intervention. At logistic regression analysis, active smoking and young age at diagnosis were identified as independent risk factor for post-surgical relapse (p?=?0.01), while colonic or ileocolonic resection was recognized as a risk factor for surgical Crohn’s disease relapse (p?=?0.003).Conclusions
Post-surgery recurrence is frequent for patients with Crohn’s disease. Active smoking and young age at diagnosis are risk factors for Crohn’s disease recurrence. As compared with patients undergoing small-bowel surgery, patients with colonic resection are proner to relapse requiring a second surgical intervention. 相似文献2.

Background
Diabetes is a risk factor of fibrosis progression in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). However, only one longitudinal study exploring whether diabetes is associated with progression from non-cirrhotic liver to cirrhosis in CHC patients has been conducted.Aims
We investigated whether diabetes is associated with progression from non-cirrhotic liver to cirrhosis in non-genotype 3 CHC patients.Methods
A cohort consisting of 976 non-genotype 3 patients histologically proven to have CHC was studied. After excluding patients with biopsy-proven or ultrasound-identified cirrhosis, there were 684 patients without cirrhosis. All 684 patients underwent hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance using ultrasound every 6 months, with a median duration of follow-up evaluation of 102.4 months. During the follow-up period, 60 patients developed cirrhosis according to ultrasound findings.Results
For the subgroup of 684 patients without cirrhosis, Kaplan–Meier survival analyses showed no significantly different cumulative incidences of cirrhosis (log-rank test; P?=?0.71) among the patients with diabetes as compared to those without. However, after making adjustments for age, gender, fibrosis, steatosis, sustained virological response status, and obesity using Cox’s proportional hazard model, diabetes was found to be an independent predictor for cirrhosis (HR?=?1.9; 95% CI?=?1.05–3.43, P?=?0.03).Conclusions
Diabetes is associated with progression from non-cirrhotic liver to cirrhosis in non-genotype 3 CHC patients. 相似文献3.

Background
Data on rescue treatment of autoimmune hepatitis in patients that fail standard treatment are sparse.Aims
To report our long-term experience with mycophenolate mofetil.Methods
Retrospective study in 22 patients with autoimmune hepatitis who failed azathioprine and prednisolone due to adverse events (n?=?14, 64%), lack of remission (n?=?5, 23%) or a combination (n?=?3, 13%).Results
Mycophenolate mofetil was started at a dose of 20?mg/kg/day and increased to a maximum of 3?g/day. Follow-up was 0–6 months in 7 patients; more than 12 months in 15 (68%) and more than 24 months in 10. Normal aminotransferase levels were obtained (n?=?3) or maintained (n?=?7) in 10 patients (45%) after three to 30 weeks. 12 patients (55%) were withdrawn during the first 6 months, due to adverse events. Three patients were switched to cyclosporine and one underwent liver transplantation. Successful treatment with mycophenolate mofetil continued in 10 patients (45%) for a median of 71 months (range 20–124). Of these, one stopped prednisolone, five have a prednisolone dose <5?mg daily and four patients 5–10?mg.Conclusion
Approximately one of two patients with autoimmune hepatitis that fail standard treatment benefit from long-term maintenance with mycophenolate mofetil, especially those with previous intolerance to thiopurines, where mycophenolate mofetil is effective in two thirds. 相似文献4.

Background
Despite the dramatic improvement in viral eradication rates that has been reached with direct antiviral agents (DAAs), the real benefit of viral eradication after DAAs on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development is still controversial.Aim
To prospectively assess the risk of HCC occurrence and early recurrence in a large cohort of DAA-treated HCV-cirrhotic patients and to identify potential predictors of HCC development.Methods
We analyzed data prospectively collected from 1927 consecutive HCV-infected cirrhotic patients treated with DAA from January to December 2015 in 10 tertiary liver centers in Italy and followed-up for one year after therapy. 161 patients had a previous HCC.Results
38/161 subjects developed tumor recurrence during the follow-up (recurrence rate?=?24.8 per 100-year), patients with SVR had a significantly lower rate of recurrence. Lack of SVR and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were independent predictors of HCC recurrence. 50/1766 patients without a previous HCC history developed HCC during follow-up (incidence rate?=?2.4 per 100-year). Lack of SVR was the strongest predictor of HCC development. Furthermore, patients with SVR and no stigmata of portal hypertension have a lower incidence rate of HCC (1.0 per 100-year).Conclusions
SVR is associated with a significant decrease of recurrent or de novo HCC. Baseline AFP and signs of portal hypertension can help to stratify the risk of HCC. 相似文献5.

Background
Little is known about the unmet needs of physicians caring for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Aims
This study explored the practical difficulties and needs for professional updating of Italian IBD physicians.Methods
A questionnaire was distributed to 600 physicians attending IG-IBD meetings.Results
280 physicians completed the questionnaire (46.7%). On a 5-point Likert scale (from 1, strongly disagree to 5, strongly agree), they identified the most problematic issues in managing IBD patients as increasing bureaucracy (3.9), lack of extra-gastroenterological IBD expertise (3.4), lack of diagnostic techniques (3.1) and budget limitations (2.9). The most lacking techniques, ranked from 1 (greatest need) to 9 (lowest need), were: anti-drug antibody and trough level assays (2.7), device-assisted enteroscopy (3.1), exploration under anaesthesia (3.2), MR enterography (3.2), and bowel ultrasonography (3.3). About professional updating, respondents indicated (on a 5-point Likert scale) that helpful topics were practical medicine (4.3), managing difficult patients (4.1), and guidelines (4.0). The most desired modality for updating was residential courses on clinical practice (4.3).Conclusion
Several factors potentially limit the best management of IBD patients in Italy. Satisfying these unmet needs could improve care for IBD patients. 相似文献6.

Background
Sigmoid volvulus is a common cause of colonic obstruction in old and frail patients. Its standard management includes the endoscopic detorsion of the colonic loop, followed by an elective sigmoidectomy to prevent recurrence. However, these patients are often poor candidates for surgery.Aim
The aim of this study was to compare death rate between elective sigmoidectomy and conservative management following endoscopic detorsion for sigmoid volvulus.Methods
The medical records of 83 patients undergoing endoscopic detorsion of a sigmoid volvulus from 2008 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: ‘elective surgery’ and ‘no surgery’.Results
Patients in the ‘no surgery’ group (n?=?42) were older and had more loss of autonomy than in the ‘elective surgery’ group. Volvulus endoscopic detorsion was successful in 96% of patients with no complications. The median follow-up was 13 months (1 day-67 months). The death rate was 62% in the ‘no surgery’ group versus 32% in the ‘elective surgery’ group (p?=?0.02). In the ‘no surgery’ group, 23/42 of patients had volvulus recurrence. No recurrence occurred after surgery.Conclusion
Elective surgery must be planned as soon as possible after the first episode of sigmoid volvulus. In frail patients, other options must be developed. 相似文献7.

Background
The current definitions and etiologies of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are clearly very different between East and West.Aims
This study aimed to develop an effective prognostic nomogram for acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF) as defined by the Asia Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL).Methods
The nomogram was based on a retrospective study of 573 patients with ACHBLF, defined according to the APASL, at the Beijing Ditan Hospital. The results were validated using a bootstrapped approach to correct for bias in two external cohorts, including an APASL ACHBLF cohort (10 hospitals, N?=?329) and an EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort (Renji Hospital, N?=?300).Results
Multivariate analysis of the derivation cohort for survival analysis helped identify the independent factors as age, total bilirubin, albumin, international normalized ratio, and hepatic encephalopathy, which were included in the nomogram. The predictive value of nomogram was the strongest compared with CLIF-C ACLF, MELD and MELD-Na and similar to COSSH-ACLF in both the derivation and prospective validation cohorts with APASL ACHBLF, but the CLIF-C ACLF was better in the EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort.Conclusions
The proposed nomogram could accurately estimate individualized risk for the short-term mortality of patients with ACHBLF as defined by APASL. 相似文献8.

Background
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.Aim
The study is aimed at updating the clinical and epidemiological profile of chronic HBV infection in Italy.Methods
A cross-sectional multicenter prospective study enrolled consecutive HBsAg positive patients seen in 73 Italian centers in the period 2012–2015. Individual patient data were collected using an electronic platform and analyzed using standard statistical methods.Results
Among 2877 HBsAg positive individuals (median age 49.8?years, 68% males), 27% were non-Italian natives (NINs); 20% had chronic infection, 58.5% chronic hepatitis and 21.5% cirrhosis. Among NINs, age was younger, male gender was less prevalent and liver disease less advanced than in Italians (all p?<?0.0001). HBeAg positive cases were 23.6% among NINs vs 8.2% in Italians (p?<?0.0001); HDV coinfections 11.1% vs 7.3% (p?=?0.006) and HCV coinfections 2.3% vs 4.2% (p?=?0.017), respectively. Anti-HDV or anti-HCV antibodies were detected more frequently in patients with cirrhosis. Fifty percent of NINs with cirrhosis were aged below 45?years.Conclusion
The study offers an insight into the evolving burden of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in the near future and highlights new territories for public health interventions. 相似文献9.

Background
Data about the outcomes after adalimumab dose de-escalation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are scarce.Objectives
To assess the outcomes after adalimumab dose de-escalation, and to identify potential factors associated with failure.Methods
Retrospective, observational study including all IBD patients who had undergone adalimumab dose de-escalation to 40?mg every three weeks across seven GETAID centers, between June 2011 and September 2017. Failure of adalimumab dose de-escalation was defined as the need for treatment re-escalation, discontinuation of adalimumab, or clinical, biochemical and/or morphologic disease relapse.Results
Fifty-six patients were identified (n?=?46 Crohn’s disease, n?=?10 ulcerative colitis). Median (IQR) duration of follow-up after adalimumab dose de-escalation was 15.9 (7.9–30.6) months. Adalimumab dose de-escalation was a failure in 21/56 (37.5%) patients and successful in 35/56 (62.5%) patients. Median (IQR) time until failure was 8.9 (4.6–15.6) months. At multivariate analysis, inactive disease at magnetic resonance imaging and/or endoscopy in the year before adalimumab dose de-escalation decreased the risk of failure with a factor five (P?=?0.02).Conclusions
Adalimumab dose de-escalation to 40?mg every three weeks is possible in almost two thirds of IBD patients. Objective morphologic signs of active disease should be ruled out before considering a de-escalation strategy with adalimumab. 相似文献10.

Background
Digestive diseases imply a substantial burden for health care systems. Effectiveness of specialized gastroenterology care has been demonstrated in a few real life surveys.Aims
To perform an in-depth analysis of Hospital Discharge Records (HDRs) of patients admitted for digestive diseases (DDs) from all Italian regions over the years 2010–2014.Methods
Data on National HDRs were provided by the Italian Health Ministry.Results
During the years 2010–2014, a mean of 949,830 patients with DDs were admitted to hospital per year, representing 10.0% of all admissions in Italy. Only 7.4% of patients with DDs were admitted to Gastroenterology units due to the limited number of the specialty-focused beds (3.4/100,000 inhabitants). DDs urgent admissions in Gastroenterology units represented 33% of admissions. The mean length of stay was 8.1?days in Gastroenterology units, as opposed to 8.3 in other units. Mortality rate for DDs altogether, for urgent admissions, and for urgent admissions with bleeding were 2.2%, 1.7%, 2.2% in Gastroenterology units, and 3.1%, 3.9%, 3.5% in other units, respectively. DDs admissions were appropriate in 81.3% in Gastroenterology units as opposed to 66.6% in all other units.Conclusions
Gastroenterology units offer a better specific care in terms of length of hospital stay and mortality even for patients admitted for emergent conditions. 相似文献11.

Background
We aimed to identify the main determinants of long-term overall survival (OS), including virologic control, and recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on cirrhosis.Methods
Cirrhotic patients treated by RFA for HCC within Milan criteria were included. Associations between patient features and events were estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method with the log rank test and using uni/multivariate Cox models.Results
389 cirrhotic patients (Child–Pugh A 86.6%, 473 tumors) were included. OS was 79.8%, 42.4% and 16%, and overall tumor recurrence 45%, 78% and 88% at 2, 5 and 10 years, respectively. In multivariate analysis, age, Child–Pugh, GGT, HCC near major vessels, esophageal varices, alkaline phosphatase and HBV predicted OS. Gender, ALT, AFP and alcohol intake were associated with tumor recurrence. Multinodular HCC (19.5%) was associated with risk of tumor recurrence outside Milan criteria. HBV patients had longer OS than other patients (P?=?0.0059); negative HBV PCR at RFA was associated with decreased tumor recurrence (P?=?0.0157). Using time-dependent analysis in HCV patients, a sustained virologic response was associated with increased OS (124.5 months) compared to other patients (49.2 months, P?<?0.001).Conclusion
Virologic response and severity of underlying liver disease were the main determinants of long-term OS after RFA for HCC developing on cirrhosis. 相似文献13.

Introduction
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) is the main cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly, hence the importance to establish the prevalence of nasopharyngeal colonization by different Sp serotypes in adults.Methods
from December 2009 to June 2010, nasopharyngeal cultures were taken from adults living in rural communities in Mexico for the isolation and serotyping of Sp by the Quellung reaction. Penicillin and ceftriaxone susceptibility tests were performed by the microdilution method.Results
two hundred and thirty-six adults over 50 years old, were included. The prevalence of colonization by Sp was 21.6%. The most frequent serotypes were 19A (21%), 6A (13%), 6B and 11A (11%). All isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone, and 52.8% of the isolates showed penicillin minimal inhibitory concentrations ≥0.12 mg/L.Conclusion
this is the first study analyzing the nasopharyngeal colonization by Sp in adults in Mexico. Serotypes not included in any of the pneumococcal vaccines were frequently identified. 相似文献15.

Background and aims
Lynch syndrome (LS) is associated with an increased risk of small bowel tumors but routine screening is not recommended in international guidelines. The aim of our study was to determinate the prevalence of duodenal tumors in a French cohort of LS patients.Methods
Patients carrying a germline pathogenic variant in a MMR gene, supported by our local network, in which at least one upper endoscopy had been performed, were included. We registered the occurrence of duodenal lesions in those patients.Results
154 LS patients were identified including respectively 85 MSH2 and 41 MLH1 mutated patients respectively. Seven out of 154 (4.5%) had at least one duodenal lesion. Median age at diagnosis was 58 years (range: 49–73). The twelve lesions locations were: descending duodenum (n?=?7), genu inferius (n?=?2), duodenal bulb (n?=?1), ampulla (n?=?1), fourth duodenum (n?=?1). Three lesions were invasive adenocarcinomas. The incidence rate of duodenal lesions in patients with MSH2 or MLH1 pathogenic variants was respectively 7.1% (6 out of 85) and 2.4% (1 out of 41) emphasizing a trend toward increased risk of developing duodenal lesion in MSH2 mutated patients: OR: 5.17, IC95% (0.8–60.07), p?=?0.1307.Conclusion
Regarding this high prevalence rate, especially in MSH2 patients, regular duodenal screening during upper endoscopy should be considered in routine in LS patients. 相似文献16.

Background and aim
The histologic discrepancies between preoperative endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) specimens sometimes confuse the endoscope operator. This study aimed to analyze the limitation of the biopsy-based diagnosis before ESD and to evaluate which factors affect the discordant pathologic results between EFB and ESD.Methods
A total of 1427 patients, who were diagnosed with gastric adenoma by EFB, were enrolled. Cancer confirmed on EFB was excluded (n?=?513). We retrospectively reviewed cases and compared histologic diagnoses in the biopsy sample with the final diagnosis in the endoscopically resected specimen.Results
The diagnosis was upgraded (from low-grade dysplasia to high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma, or from high-grade dysplasia to adenocarcinoma) in 328 cases (23.0%), concordant in 944 (66.1%), and downgraded (from high-grade dysplasia to low-grade dysplasia or non-neoplasia, or from low-grade dysplasia to non-neoplasia) in 155 (10.9%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that surface ulceration and depressed lesions were associated with significant risk factors for upgrading. Age younger than 60 years and size <1?cm were associated with significant factors for downgrading.Conclusions
Careful endoscopic observation should consider size, ulceration, and depression to ensure accurate diagnosis when a gastric neoplasm is suspected. 相似文献17.
Background
Treatment of thrombocytopenia with thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPORAs) seems to be associated with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). We performed a meta-analysis of the trials carried out in this clinical setting to assess if such association is detectable.Methods
We performed a meta-analysis with studies that compared the effect of TPORAS vs placebo in patients with CLD and thrombocytopenia.Results
Four studies, including 1953 patients, reported the incidence of PVT in patients with CLD and thrombocytopenia treated with TPORAs or placebo. No significant difference was found for incidence of PVT in patients treated with TPORAs compared with placebo (O.R.: 2.8; 95% C.I., 0.97–8.16; p?=?0.055). A significant association between PVT and TPORAs was observed only in patients treated with eltrombopag (O.R.: 3.8; 95% C.I., 1.14–13.2; p?=?0.03). Three studies, including 514 patients who were undergoing an elective invasive procedure, analyzed the incidence of PVT in TPORAs—treated patients with CLD and thrombocytopenia; no significant difference was found for incidence of PVT in patients treated with TPORAs compared with placebo (O.R.: 2.6; 95% C.I., 0.6–11.6; p?=?0.212). A significant difference was found for incidence of arterial and venous thrombo-embolic events in CLD patients treated with eltrombopag compared with placebo-treated patients (O.R.: 3.4; 95% C.I., 1.5–7.7; p?=?0.003).Conclusion
The results of this meta-analysis show that TPORAs are not associated with PVT in CLD patients even in the case of surgical procedure. PVT risk seems to be associated only with eltrombopag use. 相似文献18.

Background
Gastric cancer is sometimes complicated by obstructive jaundice. However, ERCP may be challenging in patients who have advanced gastric cancer, or recurrent gastric cancer after surgical resection that is complicated by obstructive jaundice. In such cases, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) is considered. Recently, EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has been developed. We conducted a retrospective study to compare the efficacy of EUS-BD and PTBD in patients with obstructive jaundice due to gastric cancer.Methods
Patients with gastric cancer complicated with obstructive jaundice who were contraindicated for standard ERCP were enrolled.Results
A total of 47 consecutive patients were enrolled during the study period. The technical success rates of PTBD and EUS-BD were 88.9% (16/18) and 96.7% (29/30), respectively (P?=?0.64). The stent patency period, including patient death was equivalent between the two groups (EUS-BD vs. PTBD: 188.4?days vs. 200.9 days, P?=?0.974). Time to stent dysfunction in the EUS-BD group (391.1 days) was not significantly different as compared to that in the PTBD group (398.1?days) (P?=?0.78). Adverse events were relatively severe in the PTBD group.Conclusions
Given the relative severity of adverse events in the PTBD group, EUS-BD might be the procedure of choice for gastric cancer patients with contraindications by inability to perform ERCP. 相似文献19.
