RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Serum globulin is an inflammation marker. To date, no evidence regarding the association between serum globulin and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis has been reported. AIMS: We evaluated the association between serum globulin and endoscopic activity in patients with ulcerative colitis. METHODS: Serum globulin was divided into tertiles based on the distribution of study subjects (low globulin, ≤ 2.7 g/dl (reference); moderate globulin, 2.7-3.1 g/dl; and high globulin, > 3.1 g/dl). A single endoscopic specialist evaluated the endoscopic findings, and mucosal healing was based on Mayo endoscopic subscore. RESULTS: A total of 277 patients with ulcerative colitis were included in the study. Serum globulin was independently positively associated with diminished or absent vascular markings [moderate: adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.70 (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.82-7.88) and high: adjusted OR 2.40 (95%CI: 1.20-4.94), p for trend = 0.005]. A similar positive association between globulin and erosion was found [high: adjusted OR 2.00 (95%CI: 1.05-3.86)]. Serum globulin was independently inversely associated with mucosal healing [moderate: adjusted OR 0.37 (95%CI: 0.18-0.73) and high: adjusted OR 0.31 (95%CI: 0.14-0.64), p for trend = 0.001] and adjusted partial mucosal healing [moderate: OR 0.51 (95%CI: 0.26-0.98), p for trend = 0.048]. The inverse association between globulin and mucosal healing was significant in the low but not the high C-reactive protein group. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with ulcerative colitis, serum globulin was significantly positively associated with endoscopic activity, and was significantly inversely associated with mucosal healing, especially in the low C-reactive protein group.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mucosal healing (MH) has been indicated as the therapeutic goal for ulcerative colitis (UC). Platelet count is known as an inflammation evaluation. However, the association between platelet count and MH among patients with UC is still scarce. We therefore assessed this issue among Japanese patients with UC. METHODS: The study subjects consisted of 345 Japanese patients with UC. Platelet count was divided into quartiles on the basis of the distribution of all study subjects (low, moderate, high, and very high). Several endoscope specialists were responsible for evaluating MH and partial MH, which was defined as a Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 and 0-1, respectively. Estimations of crude odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for partial MH and MH in relation to platelet count were performed using logistic regression analysis. Age, sex, CRP, steroid use, and anti-Tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) preparation were selected a priori as potential confounding factors. RESULTS: The percentage of partial MH and MH were 63.2 and 26.1%, respectively. Moderate and very high was independently inversely associated with partial MH (moderate: OR 0.40 [95%CI 0.19-0.810], very high: OR 0.37 [95%CI 0.17-0.77], p for trend = 0.034). Similarly, moderate, high, and very high were independently inversely associated with MH (moderate: OR 0.37 [95% CI 0.18-0.73], high: OR 0.41 [95% CI 0.19-0.83], and very high: OR 0.45 [95% CI 0.21-0.94], p for trend = 0.033) after adjustment for confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with UC, platelet count was independently inversely associated with MH.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although the outcomes of pancreatic cancer have been improved by gemcitabine, the changes in its characteristics and long-term outcomes within the gemcitabine era remain unclear. This study was conducted to identify clinical characteristics of pancreatic cancer patients within the gemcitabine era. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed at 10 centers for 1,248 consecutive patients who were ever considered to have a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer between 2001 and 2010. Data collected included demographics, diagnosis date, clinical stage, treatment, and outcome 1,082 patients met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed further. The chi-square test, Student's t-test, and Mann-Whitney U-test were used for statistical analysis. Outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression. Differences in survival analyses were determined using the log-rank test. RESULTS: The distribution of clinical stages was: I, 2.2% II, 3.4% III, 13% IVa, 27% and IVb, 55%. Chemotherapy alone was administered to 42% of patients and 17% underwent resection. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 39%, 13%, and 6.9%, respectively. The median survival time was 257 days, but differed considerably among treatments and clinical stages. Demographics, distribution of clinical stage, and cause of death did not differ between groups A (2001-2005, n=406) and B (2006-2010, n=676). However, group B included more patients who underwent chemotherapy (P<0.0001) and fewer treated with best supportive care (P=0.0004), mirroring improvements in this group's long-term outcomes (P=0.0063). Finally, factors associated with long-term outcomes derived from multivariate analysis were clinical stage (P<0.0001), location of the tumor (P=0.0294) and treatments (surgery, chemotherapy) (<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Long-term outcomes in pancreatic cancer has improved even within the gemcitabine era, suggesting the importance of offering chemotherapy to patients previously only considered for best supportive care. Most patients are still diagnosed at an advanced stage, making clinical strategy development for diagnosing pancreatic cancer at earlier stages essential.

RESUMO

The clinical efficacy and safety of irinotecan plus infusional fluorouracil/l-leucovorin (FOLFIRI) in patients with fluoropyrimidine-resistant metastatic colorectal cancer were studied retrospectively. 20 patients were treated with FOLFIRI at our hospital between October 2003 and November 2005. The objective overall response rate was 28% (5/18; 95% confidence interval, 9.7-54%). The disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) was 61%. The most frequent grade 3 to 4 adverse event was neutropenia, and it was seen in 50%. Non-hematological toxicities were mild. The median survival time was 11 months. The 1-year survival rate was 34%. This study showed the activity and safety of FOLFIRI in practice.
