Background
The long-term management of perianal Crohn’s disease for patients on anti-TNF-α therapy remains challenging.Aim
To evaluate the long-term course and complications of patients with perianal fistulas treated with anti-TNF-α based on their clinical remission and healing on MRI.Methods
Patients were evaluated clinically and by MRI. Deep remission was defined as clinical remission associated with the absence of contrast enhancement and T2 hyperintensity on MRI. Flare-free survival, surgery and hospitalizations were compared based on the presence or not of deep remission.Results
Forty-eight consecutive patients were included with a median follow-up of 62?months after anti-TNF-α first administration. Deep remission was observed in 16 patients (33.4%). For patients in deep remission, the median time to any perianal event was 116?months (95–130) versus 42?months (8–72) in patients with pathological MRI (p?<?0.001). Sixteen patients (50%) with pathological MRI had perianal surgery versus 2 (12.5%) in the deep remission group (p?<?0.05). The mean duration of cumulative hospital stays was 0.75?±?0.52?days in the deep remission group versus 19.7?±?7.4 in the pathological group (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
Higher flare-free survival and lower rates of surgery and hospitalization were found in patients achieving deep remission. 相似文献3.

Background
In APPRECIA trial, Crohn's disease (CD) patients undergoing intestinal resection were randomized to postoperative adalimumab (ADA) or azathioprine (AZA).Aims
To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in APPRECIA trial.Methods
HRQoL was evaluated using disease-specific shortened Spanish version of the IBDQ (SIBDQ-9) and generic European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaires, completed at baseline and at weeks 24 and 52.Results
Sixty-one patients (37 ADA and 24 AZA) had evaluable data for HRQoL. Patients treated with ADA or AZA had significant improvement from baseline to weeks 24 and 52 in SIBDQ-9 and EQ-5D (p?<?0.001 and p?≤?0.006 for all comparisons, respectively). There were no differences between treatment arms in mean change in SIBDQ-9 and EQ-5D at weeks 24 and 52 vs baseline. Only patients without endoscopic recurrence had significant improvement in SIBDQ-9 (p?<?0.001) and EQ-5D (p?<?0.001) at week 52. At week 52, there was a high to moderate negative correlation between CDAI score with SIBDQ-9 score (Pearson’s r: ?0.768) and with EQ-5D index (r: ?0.644).Conclusion
HRQoL improved after intestinal resection in CD, irrespective of the postoperative therapy used (ADA or AZA). Outcomes in HRQoL were associated with prevention of endoscopic recurrence, since improvements in HRQoL were only significant in patients with endoscopic remission at 1 year. 相似文献4.

Objectives
(1) To evaluate the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of patients after colorectal stent placement and (2) to assess the safety and efficacy of the stents for the resolution of colorectal obstruction according to the insertion technique.Methods
Retrospective cohort study which included 177 patients with colonic obstruction who underwent insertion of a stent.Results
A total of 196 stents were implanted in 177 patients. Overall, the most common cause of obstruction was colorectal cancer (89.3%). Ninety-two stents (47%) were placed by radiologic technique and 104 (53%) by endoscopy under fluoroscopic guidance. Technical success rates were 95% in both groups. Clinical success rates were 77% in the radiological group and 81% in the endoscopic group (p > 0.05). The rate of complications was higher in the radiologic group compared with the endoscopic group (38% vs 20%, respectively; p = 0.006). Among patients with colorectal cancer (158), 65 stents were placed for palliation but 30% eventually required surgery. The multivariate analysis identified three factors associated with poorer long-term survival: tumor stage IV, comorbidity and onset of complications.Conclusions
Stents may be an alternative to emergency surgery in colorectal obstruction, but the clinical outcome depends on the tumor stage, comorbidity and stent complications. The rate of definitive palliative stent placement was high; although surgery was eventually required in 30%. Our study suggests that the endoscopic method of stent placement is safer than the radiologic method. 相似文献6.
Aims
To study the association of EMR’s clinical reminder use on a comprehensive set of diabetes quality metrics in U.S. office-based physicians and within solo- versus multi-physician practices. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on visits made by adults with diabetes identified from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (2012–2014).Methods
Multiple logistic regression is used to test for associations between clinical reminder use and recommended services by the American Diabetes Association.Results
Of 5508 visits, nationally representing 112,978,791 visits, 31% received HbA1c tests, 13% received urinalysis test, and <10% received retinal or foot exams. Main effects of practice size and clinical reminder use were found for HbA1c, urinalysis, and foot exams. We find no statistically significant relationship to suggest that clinical reminder use improve diabetes process guidelines for solo practices.Conclusions
Resource efforts, beyond clinical reminders, are needed to reduce gaps in primary diabetes care between solo and non-solo practices. 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
Anti-TNF therapies infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA), and golimumab (GOL) are approved for treating moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). In UC, only the switch from IFX to ADA has been investigated, reaching no more than 10–43% remission rates at 12 months.Aim
Of the present study was to investigate disease outcome after a switch from subcutaneous (SC) agents to the intravenous (IV) agent (IFX).Methods
In this retrospective multicentre study, we analysed the charts of UC patients unresponsive/intolerant or with secondary loss of response (LOR) to ADA or GOL who were switched to IFX. We evaluated clinical response and remission together with adverse events at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up.Results
Seventy-six patients were included; 38 patients started ADA and 38 started GOL for a mean therapy duration of 6?±?6 months. Indications for switch were adverse events in 3%, primary failure in 79%, and LOR in 18% of patients. Clinical remission was reached by 47%, 50%, and 77% of patients, respectively. Patients that switched for LOR did numerically, but not statistically, better than patients who switched for primary failure.Conclusions
Our data show a superior remission rate in SC to IV anti-TNF switch in UC compared to the IV to SC switch reported in literature. 相似文献9.

Backgound
A significant proportion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative/anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) positive patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) undergoing rituximab-based chemotherapy (R-CT) may suffer hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation.Aims
We wanted to assess efficacy and safety of lamivudine (LMV) prophylaxis to prevent this complication.Methods
Eighty-five consecutive HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive NHL patients (71 years, 100% serum HBV DNA undetectable, 74% anti-HBs positive) received LMV coadministered with R-CT and for 18 months after the end of R-CT. Serum ALT, HBsAg, anti-HBs and HBV DNA were assessed every 4 months during and after end of LMV.Results
During 39 (2–108) months of study period, including 21 months of LMV and 27 additional months after LMV discontinuation, one patient (2%) had HBV reactivation, 31 months after stopping LMV and during administration of new immunosuppressive regimens, without LMV prophylaxis, owing to incomplete oncological response. A 50% decline of anti-HBs titers occurred in 22/63 (35%) patients, including 12 who became anti-HBs seronegative. Five (6%) patients had ALT increase during R-CT but none required R-CT discontinuation. Seventeen (20%) patients died, all for tumour progression.Conclusion
LMV prophylaxis is safe and effective in preventing HBV reactivation in HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive NHL patients receiving R-CT. 相似文献10.
Background
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) represents a devastating malignancy characterized by high mortality, and notoriously problematic to diagnose. Recently, microRNAs (miRs) have been intensively investigated due to their potential usefulness from a tumor treatment perspective.Aims
The current study was aimed to investigate whether miR-494 influences epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), tumor growth and metastasis of CCA.Methods
The regulatory miRNAs of WDHD1 in CCA expression chip were predicted, followed by determination of the miR-494 and WDHD1 expression in normal cholangiocyte tissues and CCA tissues. The related protein levels were determined. CCA cell migration, invasion, viability, and cell cycle distribution and the dosage-dependent effect of miR-494 on CCA cell growth were subsequently detected. Finally, tumorigenicity and lymph node metastasis (LNM) were measured.Results
Initially, miR-194 affected the CCA development via negatively regulating WDHD1 and miR-494 which were downregulated while WDHD1 was upregulated in CCA. In addition, miR-494 overexpression elevated E-cadherin expression while decreased expressions of WDHD1, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Twist and MMP-9. Finally, overexpressed miR-494 was observed to suppress EMT, cell viability, migration, invasion, arrest cell cycle progression, tumor formation, and LNM while accelerating cell apoptosis in vivo.Conclusion
This study indicated that miR-494 overexpression suppresses EMT, tumor formation and LNM while promoting CCA cell apoptosis through inhibiting WDHD1 in CCA. 相似文献11.

Objective
Osteoarthritis causes severe pain and disability in joints, one of the most prevalent involved joints is the knee joint. There are several therapeutics ways to control pain and disability, but almost none of them are definite treatment. In this article, we tried to reveal the effect of weight loss on improving symptoms of knee osteoarthritis as an effective and permanent therapeutic approach.Methods
We chose 62 patients with grade 1–2 (mild to moderate) knee osteoarthritis and divided them equally into case and control groups. Patients should not had used NSAIDs at least for 6 months before study initiation. Symptoms severity was measured by WOMAC and VAS questionnaires before and after 3 months follow up. Weight and BMI were recorded too. Case group was suggested to have weight loss diet of less fat and carbohydrates and control group did not have any limitation.Results
Comparison of variables’ average of case and control groups was not logistically meaningful at the initiation and after the end of the study. But there was a meaningful correlation between variables’ changes and lifestyle change in both groups, especially in WOMAC and VAS scores. All variables in case group had statistically meaningful differences between their amounts at the beginning and after the end of the study, on the contrary of the control group.Conclusion
In the comparison of our study with similar studies in the world. We deduced that weight loss can improve symptoms of knee osteoarthritis even in short time weight loss diet (3 months).Trial registration number

Setting
Community based five pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) surveys among adults.Objectives
Estimate sensitivity and specificity of screening tools for PTB and sputum microscopy.Methods
For each survey site, we estimated sensitivity and specificity of different screening criteria and microscopy against culture; pooled estimates were obtained using Random Effects Model.Results
Sensitivity of cough alone, screening for any symptom (persistent cough ≥2 weeks, fever or chest pain ≥1 month, hemoptysis), any symptom or history of anti-TB treatment (h/o ATT) were 56.2%, 66% and 71.2% respectively; specificities were 95.3%, 93.8% and 92.7% respectively.X-ray when used alone for primary screening had sensitivity and specificity of 76.6% and 97.3% respectively. When used along with screening for cough, these figures were 94.3% and 93.1%, and 100% and 97.3% when used with any symptom and h/o ATT. When used for secondary screening, sensitivity and specificity of X-ray was 66.8% and 87.8% respectively after primary screening for cough, 65.0% and 89.8% after screening for any symptom, and 67.1% and 86.7% when used after screening for any symptom or h/o ATT.Pooled sensitivity and specificity of smear was 46.2% and 99.3% respectively.Conclusion
Program managers may use these estimates while evaluating algorithms for active case finding. 相似文献13.

Background
Few studies on the age of resolution of Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) induced by solid foods are available. In particular, for FPIES induced by egg, the mean age of tolerance acquisition reported in the literature ranges from 42 to 63 months.Objective
We have assessed whether the age of tolerance acquisition in acute egg FPIES varies depending on whether the egg is cooked or raw.Methods
We conducted a retrospective and multicentric study of children with diagnosis of acute egg FPIES seen in 10 Italian allergy units between July 2003 and October 2017. The collected data regarded sex, presence of other allergic diseases, age of onset of symptoms, kind and severity of symptoms, cooking technique of the ingested egg, outcome of the allergy test, age of tolerance acquisition.Results
Sixty-one children with acute egg FPIES were enrolled, 34 (56%) males and 27 (44%) females. Tolerance to cooked egg has been demonstrated by 47/61 (77%) children at a mean age of 30.2 months. For 32 of them, tolerance to raw egg has been demonstrated at a mean age of 43.9 months. No episodes of severe adverse reaction after baked egg ingestion have been recorded.Conclusions
It is possible to perform an OFC with baked egg, to verify the possible acquisition of tolerance, at about 30 months of life in children with acute egg FPIES. 相似文献14.

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15.

Introduction
Upper gastroscopy in patients with cirrhosis often reveals non-specific lesions, which are usually oriented as portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). However, the diagnosis of PHG can be difficult, both from an endoscopic and histological point of view. The study of CD34 expression, which enhances the endothelial cells of the microvasculature, could help the differential diagnosis. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the correlation between endoscopy and histology in the diagnosis of PHG and to assess the utility of CD34 in the diagnosis of PHG.Material and methods
The results of immunostaining with CD34 gastric fundus biopsies from 100 cirrhotic patients and 20 controls were compared with the endoscopic images.Results
The correlation between the histology and the endoscopic diagnosis of PHG was very low (kappa = 0.15). In addition, the measurement of the diameter of the gastric vessels enhanced by the use of immunohistochemical staining (CD34) did not show good correlation with the endoscopic diagnosis (p = .26) and did not provide relevant information for the histological diagnosis of PHG either.Discussion
The correlation between histology and endoscopy is low for the diagnosis of PHG. The use of immunostaining for CD34 does not seem to improve the diagnostic yield of the histological study. 相似文献16.
Objective
To assess the impact of providing integrated psycho-socio-economic support to drug resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) patients on the treatment outcome under programmatic conditions.Study design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
An urban district TB centre in India under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme.Participants
A cohort of 123 patients who started DRTB treatment between June 2010 and May 2013.Methods
Patients started on treatment for DRTB between June 2010 and May 2013 who were provided with the integrated support package for at least 3 months formed the supported group while the other patients of the cohort formed the non-supported group. The treatment outcomes and sputum culture conversion rates were compared between the two groups.Results
The supported group consisted of 60 patients and the non-supported group of 63 patients. The treatment success rate was found to be significantly higher in the supported group (65% vs 46.03%; p = 0.0349). Support duration was significantly associated with lower incidence of death [HR 0.876, 95% CI 0.811–0.947; p = 0.0009] and loss to follow up [OR: 0.752, 95% CI 0.597–0.873; p = 0.0023]. The treatment failure rate was higher in the supported group (16.66% vs 4.76%) with 60% of the failures in the supported group occurring after 24 months of compliant treatment. There was no significant association found between support duration and treatment failure or sputum culture conversion.Conclusion
Integrated support seems to significantly increase the treatment success rate and improve survival and treatment adherence of DRTB patients. However, early diagnosis and effective pharmacotherapy are crucial for reducing treatment failures. 相似文献17.
Introduction
Chikungunya virus infection causes arthralgia and arthritis in the acute phase of the disease but, in more than half of the cases, musculoskeletal manifestations can be prolonged over time and, in some cases, become chronic. Although polyarthralgia is the most frequent chronic manifestation, forms with polyarthritis, tenosynovitis and enthesopathy are also common.Objective
To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with persistent articular manifestations after infection with the Chikungunya virus.Patients
Report of 3 cases of chronic arthritis after infection with chikungunya virus diagnosed at outpatient care in a university hospital of Catalonia, all of them imported after exposure in areas of epidemic infection between 2013-2015.Results
All three patients had inflammatory joint pain for more than one year after acute disease (3, 2 and 1 years, respectively). In all cases, it appeared as polyarthritis with involvement of small joints of hands and feet (pseudorheumatoid arthritis-like). Laboratory tests showed a slight elevation of acute phase reactants, and analyses for immune markers were negative. Two of the patients required treatment with glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine. The course led to slow clinical improvement, but only one of them came to be completely asymptomatic.Conclusion
In the differential diagnosis of chronic polyarthritis, Chikungunya virus disease should also be considered in areas in which it is not endemic. 相似文献18.

Background
Biologics against tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) have dramatically changed the management of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). In pivotal clinical trials, golimumab showed efficacy as induction and maintenance therapy in anti-TNF naïve UC patients. However, confirmatory data on effectiveness in the real world setting are needed.Aim
to summarize recent evidence on the effectiveness of golimumab in observational real-world studies.Methods
A literature search was conducted using Medline, Embase, and congresses databases for English language articles or abstracts on the effectiveness of golimumab published between January 1, 2014 and May 15, 2018. Pooled short-term (6–14 weeks) and mid- and long-term (24–54 weeks) clinical response and remission rates were calculated.Results
24 abstracts were included; of those 8 were published full-text articles and 16 were abstracts from medical conferences. Overall, pooled short-term clinical response and remission rates were 59.3% (range 35–85.5%; 13 studies; 1429 patients) and 35.9% (range 14–51.7%; 9 studies; 666 patients), respectively. Pooled mid- and long-term clinical response and remission rates were 60.3% (range 37.1–89.5%; 4 studies; 356 patients) and 39.2% (range 12–84%; 8 studies; 822 patients), respectively.Conclusions
Results: of observational studies confirm that golimumab is an effective therapy for UC in clinical practice. 相似文献19.

Objective
To assess the general public’s level of knowledge on diabetes mellitus (DM) and identify related sources of information in Cameroon.Study design
This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2015 in two health facilities in Yaoundé and Edéa.Methods
We included consenting adults, except health professionals. The level of knowledge on DM was evaluated on 24 points corresponding to 24 questions addressing either DM definition, signs and symptoms, risk factors or complications.Results
Overall, 1524 persons (40.2% males) were included. Almost 99% of respondents had already heard of DM, but only 16.3% had ever received education on DM. The median score for the global knowledge was 79% (IQR 67–88). A person in the close entourage (71.3%) or a health professional (58.8%) constituted the major sources of information; school (13.3%) and media (television (23.6%), newspaper/magazine (10.0%), radio (9.6%) and internet (6.8%) were less common. Younger ages (<45 years), lower levels of education, semi-urban residency, were independently associated with a lower level of knowledge on DM.Conclusions
The general public’s level of knowledge on DM may be satisfactory, though needing to be improved. Schools and media should be capitalized to educate people on DM, targeting especially young adults and the less educated. 相似文献20.
