It has been demonstrated that there may be a relationship between liver fibrosis and serum biomarkers. The aim of this study was to investigate pre- and postoral antiviral therapy levels of these biomarkers and their relationship with other fibrotic parameters in hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients. The study group comprised HCV patients who were treated with oral antiviral regimens. Prior to, and 8 months after the treatment, serum biomarkers, including transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), collagen type IV, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and hyaluronic acid levels, were examined and fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) scores were calculated at the same times. In total, 45 HCV patients (aged between 27 and 86 years) participated. Of these 20 (44.4%) were cirrhotic and 25 (55.6%) were noncirrhotic. The concentrations of YKL-40 (P = 0.01) and TGF-β (P = 0.032) after treatment were significantly higher than the pretreatment values, whereas hyaluronic acid concentrations decreased after treatment (P = 0.001). Noncirrhotic patients had significantly higher (P = 0.03) YKL-40 levels prior to therapy compared to cirrhotic patients. Median MMP-2 concentrations were higher in men than in women (P = 0.001). Prior to treatment, TGF-β, YKL-40 and collagen type IV levels were negatively correlated with Fib-4 scores, whereas only TGF-β and YKL-40 concentrations were negatively correlated with APRI scores. YKL-40, TGF β and hyaluronic acid may be markers for fibrotic change during oral therapy for HCV. In particular, TGF β concentrations correlated with fibrotic indices. However, these results should be confirmed and validated by further research. YKL-40, TGF β and hyaluronic acid may be markers for fibrotic change during oral therapy for HCV.

Current guidelines do not establish an individual scheme for surveillance colonoscopy in postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The purpose of the study was to screen possible risk factors for the development of metachronous adenoma in postoperative CRC patients and to develop a risk prediction model and verify it. Consecutive postoperative patients with CRC were enrolled from April 2007 to December 2013 as the derivation group. Baseline data of patients and clinicopathological features of the tumor were collected, logistic regression analysis was performed, and clinical model was established and was verified internally. The model was externally validated in an independent cohort (validation group) from January 2014 to October 2017 in the same hospital. A total of 734 patients were included, with average (64.6 ± 11.5) years old. The overall incidence of metachronous adenoma was 35.4%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of metachronous adenoma between the derivation group and validation group (P > 0.05). Age, diabetes mellitus, right colon cancer, moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and synchronous adenoma were independent risk factors for metachronous adenoma. The C-index of the metachronous adenoma line chart model was 0.932, and the index decreased by 0.022 after internal verification. The C-index of external validation was 0.910. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the P value of metachronous adenoma risk prediction model was 0.247. Individual surveillance strategies should be designed for postoperative patients with CRC. For high-risk patients, it is appropriate to undergo more than two colonoscopies in 36 months after operation.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 6th cause of cancer and hepatitis C (HCV) and B (HBV) viruses are the most frequent risk factors for HCC. Patients coinfected with HCV or HBV and HIV present a faster progression to liver fibrosis and higher incidence of HCC. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Decitabine.html The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival and clinical outcomes of coinfected patients with HCC comparing with non-HIV patients. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, including 267 HCC patients with HCV or HBV infection with or without HIV. The primary endpoint was overall survival. A Kaplan-Meier curve was presented to assess survival function. Clinical and radiologic variables, according to HIV status, were compared by logistic regression. Among 267 HCC patients, 25 (9.3%) were HIV-positive. In the coinfected group, patients were younger (49.8 vs 61.2 years, P < 0.001), cirrhosis was less predominant (88 vs 96.7%, P = 0.05), a smaller proportion received HCC treatment (60 vs 86.3%, P = 0.001) and the frequency of portal vein tumoral thrombosis was higher (32 vs 11.1%, P = 0.003). The overall mortality rate was higher in the HIV-positive group (92 vs 74.3%), independently of clinical and tumoral variables. Coinfected patients with HCC presented higher mortality, tumor diagnosis in a younger age, less underlying cirrhosis and a higher frequency of tumoral thrombosis. Further studies are warranted to better understand the role of HIV in hepatocarcinogenesis, in order to improve the management of those patients, particularly regarding screening programs.

The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of endosonographer experience and patient-related factors on the dose of sedation and sedation-related complications during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Our retrospective analysis included EUS investigations performed between 2015 and 2018 at our institution. Sedation-related complications were defined as cardiorespiratory instability with oxygen saturation drop below 90% or prolonged low blood pressure or bradycardia. In total, 537 EUS examinations were analyzed (37.3% interventional). The median dose of propofol and midazolam were 140 (30-570) and 3(1-7) mg, respectively. Sedation-related complications were documented in 1.8% of cases. All patients had transient, nonfatal respiratory insufficiency. Totally, 60% of the patients who developed complications were >75 years and 70% were male. The presence of cardiac and/or pulmonary comorbidities was associated with an OR = 8.77 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.8-41.7] and American Society of Anesthesiologists class III with an OR = 7.
