1. Abstract 1.1. Aims: Restoration of immune responses is considered as a com- plementary approach to Nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUC) therapy for chronic Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. Antiviral immunity is negatively regulated by the Programmed cell Death-1 (PD-1)/Pro- grammed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis. In the present study, soluble PD-L1 (sPD-L1), which represents the amount …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Our previous study indicated that STZ-induced diabetes led to colonic PDGFR α+ cell proliferation accompanied by slow colonic transit in mice, however, the mechanism is unclear. 1.2. Aims: This study was designed to investigate whether protein as e-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) mediates PDGFR α+ cell proliferation. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6205

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Despite promising short-term results, revision from Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) can be required due to either inadequate weight loss or weight regain (IWL/WR), or de novo complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastric stenosis. 1.2. Objectives: To report surgical outcomes in converting SG to RYGBP …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: We have assessed an approach, enabling an endoscopist together with surgical assistance to perform endoscopic sutures based on minimally-invasive principles. 1.2. Aim: Assessment of a new suturing-system in the gastrointestinal tract. http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.6202

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a pan global health problem, has already effected one-third of the world popula- tion. India harbours around 40 million HBV carriers, thus account- ing for 10–15% share of total pool of HBV carriers of the world. Every year over 100,000 Indians die due to illnesses related …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Previous studies reported that Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is associated with gallbladder stone disease (GSD). The study aimed to detect the key factors influencing the formation of new-onset GSD among the NAFLD patients. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.51301

1. Abstract 1.1. Objective: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a big complication of severe complication “ascites” in patients with cirrhosis. There are three clinical forms of SBP (1982) – latent, classical and fulminant. Classic symptoms of peritonitis in SBP are usually absent. Diagnosis of SBP is established if polymorphonuclears (PMNs) in ascitic fluid are >250/mm3 …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a big complication of liver cirrhosis with ascites. Ascitic Fluid Total Protein (AFTP) is still used to determine the risk of SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites. There are single reports of the role of serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) in the diagnosis of SBP. 1.2. Aim: …

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: This study aimed to investigate whether pancreatic secondary signs on contrast-enhanced dynamic CT are really specific for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas. 1.2. Methods: A retrospective review of dynamic CT findings was performed for 93 patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinomas and with any secondary CT signs. Among these 93 patients with secondary …
