INTRODUCTION: Gastric cancer with fusion genes involving the Rho GTPase-activating protein domain (RhoGAP-GC) is mainly included in the genomically stable type of The Cancer Genome Atlas classification. Clinical implications and histological characteristics of RhoGAP-GC in the early phase remain unclear. METHODS: We analyzed 878 consecutive pT1b GCs for RhoGAP and its partner genes using fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. RESULTS: RhoGAP fusion was detected in 57 (6.5%) GCs. Univariate analysis revealed that female sex, middle-lower third tumor location, advanced macroscopic type, tumor diameter > 2 cm, pT1b2, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, negative EBER-ISH, and RhoGAP fusion were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM). Multivariate analysis presented RhoGAP fusion, lymphatic invasion, tumor diameter > 2 cm, advanced macroscopic type, venous invasion, and middle-lower third tumor location as independent risk factors for LNM. Notably, RhoGAP fusion had the highest odds ratio (3.92) for LNM among analyzed parameters (95% CI 2.12-7.27; p < 0.001). Compared to non-RhoGAP-GCs, RhoGAP-GCs were significantly frequent in younger females and showed the highest incidence of lymphatic invasion (56.2%) and LNM (49.1%) (p < 0.001). Histologically, microtubular architecture with pseudo-trabecular interconnection and small aggregations of tumor cells with a varied amount of cytoplasmic mucin, named "microtubular-mucocellular (MTMC) histology," was found in 93.0% (53 of 57) of RhoGAP-GCs in the intramucosal area. MTMC histology showed high sensitivity and negative predictive value (93.0% and 99.4%, respectively) for RhoGAP fusion, albeit positive predictive value is low (34.9%). CONCLUSION: RhoGAP-GC is linked to a characteristic MTMC histology and a high incidence of LNM.

OBJECTIVE: Mucosal incision-assisted biopsy (MIAB) has been introduced as an alternative to endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration for tissue sampling of subepithelial lesions. However, there have been few reports on MIAB, and the evidence is lacking, particularly in small lesions. In this case series, we investigated the technical outcomes and postprocedural influences of MIAB for gastric subepithelial lesions 10 mm or greater in size. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed cases with the intraluminal growth type of possible gastrointestinal stromal tumors, in which MIAB was performed at a single institution between October 2020 and August 2022. Technical success, adverse events, and clinical courses following the procedure were evaluated. RESULTS: In 48 MIAB cases with a median tumor diameter of 16 mm, the success rate of tissue sampling and the diagnostic rate were 96% and 92%, respectively. Two biopsies were considered sufficient for making the definitive diagnosis. Postoperative bleeding occurred in one case (2%). In 24 cases, surgery has performed a median of two months after MIAB, and no unfavorable findings caused by MIAB were seen intraoperatively. Finally, 23 cases were histologically diagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and no patients who underwent MIAB experienced recurrence or metastasis during a median observation period of 13 months. CONCLUSIONS: The data indicated that MIAB appears feasible, safe, and useful for histological diagnosis of gastric intraluminal growth types of possible gastrointestinal stromal tumors, even those of a small size. Postprocedural clinical effects were considered negligible.

Endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) was first developed to firmly close a mucosal defect following endoscopic submucosal dissection and has the potential for expanded applications. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of EHS in various clinical settings. In this single-center pilot study, 15 patients who had diseases with potential indications for EHS were prospectively recruited. Technical success, clinical success after the procedure, and severe EHS-related adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. EHS was applied for defect closure after gastric subepithelial lesion removal under laparoscopic observation (n = 9), defect closure after rectal endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) (n = 2), defect closure after thoracoscopy-assisted esophageal EFTR (n = 1), mucosal closure for gastric ulcer bleeding (n = 1), mucosal closure after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) (n = 1), and postoperative anastomotic leak (n = 1). EHS was completed without severe AEs and the clinical courses were also favorable in 13 patients (87%). The median suturing time was 61 minutes. In patients with POEM and anastomotic leak, EHS was discontinued because of the narrow lumen. In conclusion, EHS appears feasible and safe in situations.

BACKGROUND: Tumor size impacts the technical difficulty and histological curability of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD); however, the preoperative evaluation of tumor size is often different from histological assessment. Analyzing influential factors on failure to obtain an accurate tumor size evaluation could help prepare optimal conditions for safer and more reliable ESD. AIM: To investigate the tumor size discrepancy between endoscopic and pathological evaluations and the influencing factors. METHODS: This was a retrospective study conducted at a single institution. A total of 377 lesions removed by colorectal ESD at our hospital between April 2018 and March 2022 were collected. We first assessed the difference in size with an absolute percentage of the scaling discrepancy. Subsequently, we compared the clinicopathological characteristics of the correct scaling group (> -33% and < 33%) with that of the incorrect scaling group (< -33% or > 33%), which was further subdivided into the underscaling group (-33% or less of the discrepancy) and overscaling group (33% or more of the discrepancy), respectively. As secondary outcome measures, parameters on size estimation were compared between the underscaling and correct scaling groups, as well as between the overscaling and correct scaling groups. Finally, multivariate analysis was performed in terms of the following relevant parameters on size estimation: Pathological size, location, and possible influential factors (P < 0.1) in the univariate analysis. RESULTS: The mean of absolute percentage in the scaling discordance was 21%, and 91 lesions were considered to be incorrectly estimated in size. The incorrect scaling was significantly remarkable in larger lesions (40 mm vs 28 mm; P < 0.001) and less experience (P < 0.001), and these two factors were influential on the underscaling (75 lesions; P < 0.001). Conversely, compared with the correct scaling group, 16 lesions in the overscaling group were significantly small (20 mm vs 28 mm; P < 0.001), and the small lesion size was influential on the overscaling (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Lesions indicated for colorectal ESD tended to be underestimated in large tumors, but overestimated in small ones. This discrepancy appears worth understanding for optimal procedural preparation.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: An increasing number of patients are undergoing gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with active prescriptions of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Only a few reports have described the effects of DOAC intake on postoperative bleeding. We aimed to investigate the bleeding risk associated with DOACs after gastric ESD. METHODS: Clinical studies published up to April 2022 showing bleeding rates after gastric ESD in patients taking DOACs were identified using electronic searches. The primary outcome was the rate of bleeding after gastric ESD in patients receiving DOACs compared to those not receiving antithrombotic therapy. In this meta-analysis, odds ratios (ORs) were calculated and pooled using a random effects model. The secondary outcome was the difference in the bleeding rate between patients treated with DOACs and those treated with warfarin and antiplatelet drugs. RESULTS: Seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis showed that DOACs had a higher bleeding rate than non-thrombotic therapy (17.0% vs. 3.4%; OR 5.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.33-7.54; I2 = 0%). The bleeding risk associated with DOAC administration was similar to that associated with warfarin (17.0% vs. 20.0%; OR 0.83; 95% CI 0.59-1.18; I2 = 0%), whereas it was higher than that associated with antiplatelet administration (16.9% vs. 11.0%; OR 1.63; 95% CI 1.14-2.34; I2 = 8%). CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis reveals that the bleeding risk of DOACs is higher than that of non-antithrombotics and antiplatelets, whereas it is comparable to that of warfarin. Gastric ESD in patients on anticoagulants requires careful postoperative management.

BACKGROUND: Subclinical stricture after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) makes the detection and re-ESD of metachronous lesions difficult. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of prophylactic steroid use after esophageal ESD for mucosal defects with a circumference less than 75% for the prevention of symptomatic and asymptomatic stricture. METHODS: In 80 retrospectively enrolled patients, we collected paired endoscopic images of a mucosal defects immediately after resection and a scar thereafter. After calculating circumference by image analysis software, all patients were classified into three groups in reference to mucosal defect circumference (MDC; ≤ 50%, 50-75%, ≥ 75%). Frequency of steroid use and symptomatic stricture were compared, and in < 75% MDC patients, a degree of asymptomatic stricture with or without steroid was compared by calculating a scar contraction rate (SCR). RESULTS: In the ≤ 50% (43 patients), 50-75% (27 patients) and ≥ 75% (10 patients) MDC groups, steroids were used in 12%, 59% and 100%, respectively, and symptomatic stricture occurred in 0%, 7% and 40%, respectively. In < 75% MDC patients, SCR in the steroid cohort was significantly lower than that in the nonsteroid cohort (42% vs. 65%, p = 0.002). No steroid-related adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION: Steroid use even for mucosal defects with < 75% circumference appears effective for the reduction of the risk on both symptomatic and asymptomatic stricture after esophageal ESD.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to clarify whether any risk factors including clinical characteristics, endosonographic features, and exocrine pancreatic dysfunction may be useful for a predictive factor for patients with early chronic pancreatitis. METHODS: A total of 163 consecutive patients that presented with functional dyspepsia with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities (FD-P) (n = 46), early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) (n = 47), and asymptomatic patients with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities (AP-P) (n = 70) based on the Rome III classification and the Japan Pancreatic Association were included in this study. The enrolled patients were evaluated using endosonography (EUS) and EUS elastography. The levels of the five pancreatic enzymes were measured. Pancreatic exocrine function was analyzed using N-benzoyl-l-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid (BT-PABA). RESULTS: There were no significant differences in clinical characteristics such as age, gender, body mass index, alcohol consumption, and smoking among patients with AP-P, FD-P, and ECP. The ratio of BT-PABA test less than 35% in patients with ECP was significantly (P = 0.043) higher than in AP-P patients. Elastic score was a useful tool to differentiate the FD-P group from the ECP group. The high-density cholesterol levels in patients with ECP were significantly lower than those in AP-P. In addition, the combination of total and high-density cholesterol levels, BT-PABA test, and elastic score has a higher area under the curve value (0.708) of patients with ECP than in the other groups. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of high-density cholesterol levels, elastic score, and severity of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction may be useful for a predictive factor for patients with ECP.

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic suturing of a mucosal defect is expected to prevent postoperative bleeding after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Endoscopic suturing causes mucosal deformity, which may interfere with endoscopic surveillance thereafter. We retrospectively investigated long-term chronological changes in mucosal suturing by endoscopic suturing. METHODS: Forty-three patients who underwent endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) after gastric ESD at three institutions were enrolled. First, our hypothesis that the suturing sites healed via inflammation, disappearance of mucosal inversion, and flattening was validated. Subsequently, the duration required to reach each healing step was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 137 follow-up endoscopies were assessed, in which all cases showed the hypothesized chronological course on the suturing sites. The 95th percentiles of the duration when showing the disappearance of the inflammatory change and the inverted change were 63 days and 15.5 months after the procedure, respectively. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The data show that the mucosal deformity induced by EHS disappeared within 16 months. Endoscopic suturing is thus considered to have a negligible effect on endoscopic surveillance following the procedure.

BACKGROUND: Endocytoscopy (ECS) aids early gastric cancer (EGC) diagnosis by visualization of cells. However, it is difficult for non-experts to accurately diagnose EGC using ECS. In this study, we developed and evaluated a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based system for ECS-aided EGC diagnosis. METHODS: We constructed a CNN based on a residual neural network with a training dataset comprising 906 images from 61 EGC cases and 717 images from 65 noncancerous gastric mucosa (NGM) cases. To evaluate diagnostic ability, we used an independent test dataset comprising 313 images from 39 EGC cases and 235 images from 33 NGM cases. The test dataset was further evaluated by three endoscopists, and their findings were compared with CNN-based results. RESULTS: The trained CNN required 7.0 s to analyze the test dataset. The area under the curve of the total ECS images was 0.93. The CNN produced 18 false positives from 7 NGM lesions and 74 false negatives from 28 EGC lesions. In the per-image analysis, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were 83.2%, 76.4%, 92.3%, 93.0%, and 74.6%, respectively, with the CNN and 76.8%, 73.4%, 81.3%, 83.9%, and 69.6%, respectively, for the endoscopist-derived values. The CNN-based findings had significantly higher specificity than the findings determined by all endoscopists. In the per-lesion analysis, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the CNN-based findings were 86.1%, 82.1%, 90.9%, 91.4%, and 81.1%, respectively, and those of the results calculated by the endoscopists were 82.4%, 79.5%, 85.9%, 86.9%, and 78.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with three endoscopists, our CNN for ECS demonstrated higher specificity for EGC diagnosis. Using the CNN in ECS-based EGC diagnosis may improve the diagnostic performance of endoscopists.

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether prophylactic endoscopic closure after colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) reduces the risk of postoperative adverse events due to variability in lesion characteristics. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study using propensity score matching to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic clip closure in preventing postoperative adverse events after colorectal ESD. METHODS: This single-center retrospective cohort study included 219 colorectal neoplasms which were removed by ESD. The patients were allocated into the closure and non-closure groups, which were compared before and after propensity-score matching. Post-ESD adverse events including major and minor bleeding and delayed perforation were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: In this present study, 97 and 122 lesions were allocated to the closure and non-closure groups, respectively, and propensity score matching created 61 matched pairs. The rate of adverse events was significantly lower in the closure group than in the non-closure group (8% vs. 28%, P = 0.008). Delayed perforation occurred in two patients in the non-closure group, whereas no patient in the closure group developed delayed perforation. In contrast, there were no significant differences in other postoperative events including the rate of abdominal pain; fever, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein; and appetite loss between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Propensity score matching analysis demonstrated that prophylactic closure was associated with a significantly reduced rate of adverse events after colorectal ESD. When technically feasible, mucosal defect closure after colorectal ESD may result in a favorable postoperative course.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Noninvasive, imaging diagnosis of gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors (GIMTs) is still difficult. This study aimed to develop a novel diagnostic method of GIMTs via endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) using circularity. METHODS: In a derivation series, we retrospectively collected 50 GIMTs 2-5 cm in diameter of two institutions. After selecting one EUS still image showing the maximal area per lesion, two endoscopists who were blind to the histological diagnosis assessed circularity, a surrogate indicator of roundness (range, 0-1; 1 = a true circle), with an image-analyzing software. Median circularity of three types of GIMT was compared, and the cutoff value to differentiate a group from other groups was presented by drawing a receiver operating characteristic curve. Subsequently, we assessed the diagnostic ability of circularity in 91 GIMTs which were retrospectively collected from the other two institutions by using the optimal cutoff value presented in the derivation series. RESULTS: The circularity in leiomyomas indicated 0.70 and was significantly lower than that of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (0.89), schwannomas (0.90), and their combined group. When leiomyomas were diagnosed as the circularity of <0.8305, which was presented as the optimal cutoff value, the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in the validation series were 73.6%, 80.0%, and 72.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The data demonstrated that leiomyomas significantly exhibited more distortion than other GIMTs. That implies that the difference in shape, which is objectively determined as circularity, is useful to noninvasively discriminate leiomyomas from other GIMTs.

Esophageal submucosal hematoma is a rare disease mainly caused by mechanical stimulation to the esophageal wall. We reported a case of esophageal submucosal hematoma after transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) which was performed during cardiovascular surgery. The stimuli of TEE insertion under general anesthesia and the perioperative use of multiple antithrombotic agents were considered as a possible cause. This is the first report of esophageal submucosal hematoma related to TEE, and endoscopic ultrasonography should be carefully performed in patients, particularly at bleeding tendency and without consciousness.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Surgery is recommended in early gastric cancer (EGC) after noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), although observation can be an alternative. We aimed to develop a tailor-made treatment strategy for noncurative EGCs by comparing the lymph node metastasis risk (LNMR) and the surgical risk. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 485 patients with differentiated-type, noncurative EGCs removed by ESD and classified them into two groups: a surgery-preferable group and an observation-preferable group, according to the clinical courses. Subsequently, LNMR and surgery-related death risk were assessed using a published scoring system and a risk calculator for gastrectomy, respectively. Finally, we investigated the optimal cutoff value of the risk difference (LNMR minus surgery-related death risk) to efficiently allocate these cases into either of two groups, surgery-preferable or observation-preferable. RESULTS: In 485 patients (surgery in 322, observation in 163), 57 and 428 patients were classified into the surgery-preferable group and the observation-preferable group, respectively. The optimal cutoff value of the risk difference (LNMR minus surgery-related death risk) to allocate the cases to the two preferable groups was 7.85 with the highest area under the curve (0.689). When cases with >7.85 LNMR over the surgery-related death risk were allocated into the surgery-preferable group and vice versa, the discriminability was 73.2%, which was sufficiently higher than that in the clinical decision (44.5%). CONCLUSION: Personalized comparison of LNMR and surgery-related death risk is helpful to provide a favorable treatment option for each patient with EGCs after noncurative ESD.

Prevention of postoperative anastomotic leakage in rectal surgery is still required. This study investigated the feasibility of endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) on rectal anastomosis ex vivo. By using isolated porcine colon, we prepared ten anastomoses 6-10 cm from the virtual anus. Then, we sutured anastomoses intraluminally by EHS, which involved a continuous suturing method in 5 cases and a nodule suturing method with extra corporeal ligation in 5 cases. Completeness of suturing, number of stitches, procedure time and presence of stenosis were investigated. Furthermore, the degree of stenosis was compared between the two suturing methods. In all cases, EHS were successfully completed. The median number of stitches and procedure time was 8 and 5.8 min, respectively. Stenosis was created in all continuous suturing cases whereas none was seen in nodule suturing cases. The shortening rate was significantly greater in the continuous suturing method than in the nodule suturing method. Intraluminal reinforcement of rectal anastomosis by EHS using nodule suturing with extra corporeal ligation is feasible without stenosis, which may be helpful as a countermeasure against possible postoperative anastomotic leakage in rectal surgery.

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) visualization offers better depth recognition than two-dimensional (2D) imaging, thus helping to provide more useful information. We compared 3D and 2D endoscopy with regard to endoscopic recognition and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) marking for superficial gastric neoplasia. METHODS: ESD marking was performed on half of a neoplasia margin under 2D observation and the on other half under 3D observation for 28 gastric lesions (26 early gastric cancers and 2 adenomas). The accuracy of ESD marking was evaluated based on the distance between the pathological and endoscopic neoplasia margins measured on histology sections of ESD specimens. The technical ease of ESD marking and endoscopic lesion recognition (lesion morphology, lesion extent, and comprehensive endoscopic cognition) were assessed using visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires. RESULTS: The mean distance between the pathological and endoscopic margins under 3D observation (1.03 ± 0.80 mm) was significantly (p = 0.002) shorter than that under 2D observation (1.94 ± 1.96 mm). The VAS for technical ease of ESD marking under 3D observation was significantly better (p < 0.01) than that under 2D observation. The VAS for all aspects of endoscopic recognition under 3D observation was significantly better (p < 0.01) than under 2D observation. CONCLUSIONS: 3D flexible endoscopy achieved more accurate endoscopic recognition and ESD marking for superficial gastric neoplasia than a 2D approach in a clinical setting of ESD.

早期胃癌ESD非治癒切除症例は「内視鏡的根治度(eCura)C-2症例」と呼ばれ、原則的に追加外科手術が推奨されている。一方、高齢で複数併存疾患を有するいわゆる手術ハイリスク症例では、無治療経過観察も選択肢となる。eCuraC-2症例かつ手術ハイリスクの場合、追加治療方針の決定には病変側因子(病理結果から推測されるリンパ節転移リスク)と患者側因子(年齢や併存疾患から予測される手術リスクおよび非胃癌死を含む生命予後)の両者を考慮する必要がある。現在、病変側因子についてはリンパ節転移リスクを予測するスコアリングシステムが提案され、また患者側因子に関してもさまざまな予後予測指標の有用性や侵襲性の低い術式が模索されている。近い将来、ESD非治癒切除症例における病変側因子と患者側因子の両者を包括的にとらえた、治療方針決定のアルゴリズムの登場が期待される。(著者抄録)

内視鏡診療における鎮静の使用頻度は年々上昇しており、外来内視鏡においても例外ではない。これまでの全国調査で、前処置においては鎮静・鎮痛薬に関連する偶発症が最も多いことがわかっている。そうした背景をふまえ2013年に「内視鏡診療における鎮静に関するガイドライン」が作成され、それから7年後の2020年には第2版が作成されるに至った。このガイドラインにおいて、安全に内視鏡検査・治療を遂行するための標準的な指針が示されている。鎮静下内視鏡では中等度の鎮静が至適とされるが、検査数や安全性が求められる外来内視鏡においては、鎮静深度を浅めに設定する必要がある。この微妙な調整を行うためには使用する薬剤のそれぞれの特徴を理解し、患者背景に応じた薬剤の選択など、より細かなマネジメントが求められる。鎮静の安心・安全な運用のために、個々の患者の希望、年齢、合併症、社会的状況、施設の事情によって柔軟に対応する必要がある。(著者抄録)

BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) technology has been used in many fields, including flexible endoscopy. We evaluated the usefulness of 3D visualization for endoscopically diagnosing superficial gastric neoplasia. METHODS: Twelve participants (4 novices, 4 trainees and 4 experts) evaluated two-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopic still images of 28 gastric neoplasias, obtained before ESD with white-light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI). Assessments of the delineation accuracy of tumor extent and tumor morphology under 2D and 3D visualization were based on the histopathological diagnosis of ESD specimens. Participants answered visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires (0-10, worst to best) concerning the (a) ease of recognition of lesion morphology, (b) lesion extent and (c) comprehensive endoscopic cognition under 2D and 3D visualization. The endpoints were the accuracy of tumor extent and morphology type and the degree of confidence in assessing (a)-(c). RESULTS: The delineation accuracy of lesion extent [mean (95% confidence interval)] with WLI under 3D visualization [60.2% (56.1-64.3%)] was significantly higher than that under 2D visualization [52.3% (48.2-56.4%)] (P < 0.001). The accuracy with NBI under 3D visualization [70.3% (66.8-73.7%)] was also significantly higher than that under 2D visualization [64.2% (60.7-67.4%)] (P < 0.001). The accuracy of the morphology type with NBI under 3D visualization was significantly higher than that under 2D visualization (P = 0.004). The VAS for all aspects of endoscopic recognition under 3D visualization was significantly better than that under 2D visualization (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Three-dimensional visualization can enhance the diagnostic quality for superficial gastric tumors.

Since the prevention of early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) into chronic pancreatitis might be critical for the reduction of pancreatic cancer, we tried to clarify the pathophysiology of ECP patients, focusing on ECP patients without alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. 27 ECP patients without alcoholic chronic pancreatitis and 33 patients with functional dyspepsia with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities (FD-P) were enrolled in this study. Diagnosis of ECP was made when imaging findings showed the presence of more than 2 out of 7 endoscopic ultrasound features. Duodenal degranulated eosinophils and glucagon-like peptide 1 producing cells were estimated by immunostaining. There were no significant differences in characteristics and psychogenic factors between ECP and FD-P patients. Interestingly, endoscopic ultrasound score in ECP patients significantly improved, albeit clinical symptoms in ECP patients showed no improvement at one year follow up. The extent of migration of duodenal degranulated eosinophils in FD-P patients was significantly higher compared to that in ECP patients. The levels of elastase-1 and trypsin in ECP patients with improved endoscopic ultrasound features were significantly reduced by the treatment. Further studies will be needed to clarify whether clinical symptoms and endoscopic ultrasound features in ECP patients without alcoholic chronic pancreatitis were improved in longer follow up study.

A non-neoplastic epithelium (NE) often appears in gastric cancer (GC). We explored the histological features of NE in comparison between HP-eradicated and HP-infected GCs. We enrolled 40 HP-eradicated and 40 HP-infected GCs matched by size, macroscopic and histological type. NE was classified into full gland type and surface type; the former was a non-neoplastic gland isolated within cancer, and the latter was NE on the surface of the cancer. Surface type was additionally divided into NE at the cancer margin (marginal surface type) and NE inside cancer (internal surface type). The primary endpoints were the frequency and the length ratio (the ratio to cancer length) of NE. The secondary endpoints were the relationships between NE and clinicopathological factors, including endoscopic findings of a gastritis-like appearance (GLA), reddish depressed lesion (RDL), and white nodular mucosa (WNM). The frequency and length ratio of the internal surface type in HP-eradicated GCs were significantly higher (82.5% vs 50%, P = 0.005) and larger (11.6 ± 10.6 vs 4.2 ± 9.9, P < 0.001) than those in HP-infected GCs, and the increase was more significant according to the passage of time since HP eradication. The frequency and length ratio of marginal surface type and full gland type were not significantly different between the two groups, but the coexistence of internal surface and full gland types was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The frequencies of GLA, RDLs, and WNM in HP-eradicated GCs were significantly higher than those in HP-infected GCs. GLA-positive GCs were covered more widely by internal surface type than GLA-negative GCs (13.3% vs. 6.6%, P = 0.003). Various types of NE were noted in gastric cancer, and the internal surface type of NE was shown to be significantly linked to HP-eradicated cancer and GLA.

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal muscular sampling is useful in the histological assessment of functional gastrointestinal disorders. We devised a new sampling method to obtain a large volume of muscle tissues and then investigated the feasibility and safety of endoscopic muscular resection with a ligation device in an in vivo porcine model. METHODS: After establishing a submucosal tunnel, a rubber band was placed on the muscle tissue by sucking the exposed muscle layer. Thereafter, the established pseudopolyp was removed using an electrocautery snare, and the entry site of the submucosal tunnel was closed endoscopically. This procedure was performed at three sites in the esophagus and stomach of two pigs. The technical success, histology, and survival rate on postoperative day 7 were examined postoperatively. RESULTS: We successfully completed the mentioned procedure in 11 of the 12 sites (92%), without the occurrence of severe adverse events. The median diameters of obtained tissues from the esophagus and stomach, respectively, were 5 mm and 10 mm. Histologically, both the inner and outer muscle layers were included in all specimens. The postprocedural course was found uneventful in both pigs during the observatory period. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic muscular resection using a ligation device enabled us to obtain large and thick muscle tissue samples. This approach may facilitate more precise histological assessments of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

With advancements in the development of flexible endoscopes and endoscopic devices and the increased demand for minimally invasive treatments, the indications of therapeutic endoscopy have been expanded. Methods of endoscopic treatment used for tissue removal, hemostasis, and dilatation are as follows. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is considered the gold standard curative method for removal of gastrointestinal node-negative neoplasms, regardless of their size or the presence of ulcer formation. Laparoscopic endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS), which incorporates ESD, was introduced for removal of lesions in deeper layers. Another technique is endoscopic full-thickness resection, which is challenging without the assistance of laparoscopy. In terms of hemostasis, management of iatrogenic bleeding after endoscopic treatment is an important issue. Shielding methods and suturing techniques have been introduced for large mucosal defects after ESD, and their efficacy has been investigated clinically. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a new alternative surgical approach for minimally invasive treatment of esophageal achalasia. Furthermore, endoscopic fundoplication after POEM was devised to prevent post-POEM gastroesophageal reflux disease. Many endoscopic treatments, including ESD, LECS, and POEM, have been introduced in Japan. With the aging of the population, more attention will be directed toward therapeutic endoscopy for elderly patients, because it is less invasive. Development of endoscopic treatments with expanded indications is expected.

BACKGROUND: An appropriate traction of the target lesion is a key for a safe and secure ESD procedure. We proposed the flexible traction method (F-trac) which provided an optimal traction using an endoscopic hand-suturing (EHS) and investigated the usefulness of this technique for gastric ESD in-vivo porcine model. METHODS: In the F-trac method, a lesion was suspended by pulling proximal side of endoscope which was connected to the contralateral side with a barbed suture using the EHS technique just before starting the submucosal dissection. A single endoscopist performed conventional ESD (C-ESD) and F-trac ESD alternately for a total of ten simulating lesions of 3 cm in diameter in a live porcine stomach. The pig was rotated so that each lesion was positioned in the direction of the gravity. The procedure time, technical accuracy, adverse events, and the number of additional injection to the submucosal layer during dissection were evaluated. RESULTS: The total ESD procedure time in the F-trac group was significantly shorter than in C-ESD group (19.0 min vs. 30.6 min, p = 0.039). There were no significant differences between both groups in muscular layer damage, sample damage, perforation, and intraoperative bleeding. The number of additional injection in the F-trac group was significantly fewer than that in C-ESD group (0 times vs. 4.4 times, p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS: In gastric ESD, F-trac might be useful for shortening the total procedure time. This method can facilitate optimal traction without disturbing the endoscopic visualization and the movement of endoscope.

BACKGROUND: To determine whether central and in vitro administration of urocortin 2 (Ucn 2) affected intestinal inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated rat models and macrophage cell lines and acotiamide modified mucosal inflammation in this model. METHODS: Rats were divided into four groups. LPS-stimulated group (n = 4); LPS- and urocortin 2-treated group (n = 4); LPS- and acotiamide-treated group (n = 4); and LPS-, urocortin 2-, and acotiamide-treated group (n = 4). CD68-, CCR2-, and corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor type 2 (CRHR2)-positive cells were assessed by immunostaining. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity was measured. TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-4 levels were measured by ELISA method. Gastric emptying and small intestinal transit time were determined using Evans blue. KEY RESULTS: Central administration of Ucn 2 significantly aggravated infiltrations of CD68- and CCR2-positive cells in the intestinal mucosa of LPS-stimulated rat models compared to those in LPS treatment alone. Interestingly, acotiamide treatment significantly reduced the migrations of both CD68- and CCR2-positive cells in the jejunum of central Ucn 2-treated LPS-stimulated rat models. Acotiamide significantly reduced the expression levels of IkB-α phosphorylation in LPS- and MCP-1-stimulated NR8383 cells. Central administration of Ucn 2 significantly delayed gastric emptying. In contrast, Ucn 2 stimulation significantly reduced TNF-α and IL-6 productions in LPS-stimulated NR8383 cells and astressin B reversed the inhibition of TNF-α production in stimulated NR8383 cells. Acotiamide (30 μmol/L) significantly reduced TNF-α and IL-6 productions in LPS- and MCP-1-stimulated NR8383 cells. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: Central and in vitro treatments of Ucn 2 affected intestinal inflammatory responses, respectively, and acotiamide improved them.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Three-dimensional (3D) flexible endoscopy, a new imaging modality that provides a stereoscopic view, can facilitate endoscopic hand suturing (EHS), a novel intraluminal suturing technique. This ex-vivo pilot study evaluated the usefulness of 3D endoscopy in EHS. METHODS: Four endoscopists (two certified, two non-certified) performed EHS in six sessions on a soft resin pad. Each session involved five stitches, under alternating 3D and two-dimensional (2D) conditions. Suturing time (sec/session), changes in suturing time, and accuracy of suturing were compared between 2D and 3D conditions. RESULTS: The mean suturing time was shorter in 3D than in 2D (9.8±3.4 min/session vs. 11.2±5.1 min/session) conditions and EHS was completed faster in 3D conditions, particularly by non-certified endoscopists. The suturing speed increased as the 3D sessions progressed. Error rates (failure to grasp the needle, failure to thread the needle, and puncture retrial) in the 3D condition were lower than those in the 2D condition, whereas there was no apparent difference in deviation distance. CONCLUSION: 3D endoscopy may contribute to increasing the speed and accuracy of EHS in a short time period. Stereoscopic viewing during 3D endoscopy may help in efficient skill acquisition for EHS, particularly among novice endoscopists.

内視鏡技術の進歩に伴い、拡大内視鏡や画像強調内視鏡によって映し出される画像の質が向上するとともに病変の検出能も向上しており、さらには病変の詳細な観察も可能となっている。拡大内視鏡および画像強調内視鏡による知見が集積されるにつれて、癌・非癌の鑑別や病変の境界認識だけでなく、癌の組織型や深達度などの質的診断が可能となっている。内視鏡画像技術は内視鏡観察法の分類によって5つに分類されるが、そのなかの一つである画像強調内視鏡の亜分類である光デジタル法は、演算的画像強調処置を行うことで消化管粘膜の粘膜表面の血管や微細構造が認識しやすくなり、内視鏡診断に有用である。拡大内視鏡や画像強調内視鏡は現在の内視鏡診断の鍵であり、それらに関する知識や技術は現在の内視鏡医にとって必須のものとなっている。また超拡大内視鏡も臨床応用されており、今後optical biopsyとして期待される。(著者抄録)

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common disease that can markedly impair quality of life. In the 2016 Rome IV criteria, a diagnosis of FD requires the presence of bothersome FD symptoms. In 2009, a new diagnosis, early chronic pancreatitis (ECP), was proposed as a means to facilitate early treatment of chronic pancreatitis and prevent progression to chronic pancreatitis. Although chronic pancreatitis was reported to be a cause of dyspepsia, data on the relation between ECP and FD patients are limited. We therefore investigated differences between ECP patients and FD patients in the percentages of those with severe epigastric pain, early satiety, and postprandial abdominal fullness. Several studies reported an association between the cause of chronic pancreatitis and endosonographic features. In addition, endosonography was useful for distinguishing ECP patients from FD patients with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities. Thus, we compared endosonographic characteristics in these patient groups. Future studies should attempt to determine why selected FD patients with pancreatic enzyme abnormalities develop ECP.

多彩な背景胃粘膜に生ずる胃癌は多様性に富み、適切な内視鏡診断をするためには背景粘膜と組織型・肉眼型の関係を理解する必要がある。Helicobacter pylori未感染胃癌は7つの類型がある。すなわち、(1)胃体部～穹窿部胃底腺粘膜に生じる4つの類型である。(a)扁平隆起様腺窩上皮型胃癌、(b)ラズベリー様腺窩上皮型胃癌、(c)胃底腺型胃癌、(d)胃カルチノイドと、(2)幽門腺境界近傍の胃底腺粘膜に生じる(e)純系印環細胞癌、さらに(3)幽門輪近傍の胃幽門腺に生じる(f)高分化型管状腺癌、(4)食道胃接合部粘膜に生じる(g)噴門部癌の7つである。Helicobacter pylori関連胃癌(現感染・既感染胃癌)は腸上皮化生粘膜に生じる分化型腺癌と胃底腺領域に生じる未分化型腺癌が基本である。既感染胃癌では隆起型が減少し、陥凹が浅く、全般に平坦化する。(1)同色調で平坦な分化型腺癌、(2)地図状発赤・斑状発赤に類似する分化型腺癌、といった周囲粘膜との相違が乏しい類型があり、除菌後の内視鏡では留意を要する。(著者抄録)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To determine whether serum acylated ghrelin levels were associated with anxiety, clinical symptoms, depressive status, quality of life, gastric motility and endoscopic findings based on Kyoto classification in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. METHODS: We enrolled three groups, FD patients (n = 15) with high levels of acylated ghrelin, FD patients (n = 33) with normal levels of acylated ghrelin and FD patients (n = 35) with low levels of acylated ghrelin. There was no significant differences in the positivity of Helicobacter pylori infection among the three groups. Clinical symptoms were evaluated by Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and FD symptoms based on Rome III classification. Acylated ghrelin levels were measured by ELISA methods. Depressive status, anxiety, sleep disturbance were respectively asscessed by Self-rating questionnaire for depression (SRQ-D) score, STAI-state/-trait, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores. Endoscopic findings were evaluated based on Kyoto classification. RESULTS: Body Mass Index (BMI) in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin was significantly higher (p<0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with high and normal levels of acylated ghrelin. SRQ-D scores in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin was significantly lower (p = 0.008 and p<0.001, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with high and normal levels of acylated ghrelin. Scoring of gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, xanthoma and mucus based on Kyoto classification in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin were significantly higher (p<0.001, p = 0.0077, p = 0.036 and p = 0.0063, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with more than low levels of acylated ghrelin. CONCLUSION: Acylated ghrelin levels were associated with BMI, depressive status, and endoscopic findings based on Kyoto classification in FD patients.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Three-dimensional (3D) rigid endoscopy has been clinically introduced in surgical fields to enable safer and more accurate procedures. To explore the feasibility of 3D flexible endoscopy, we conducted a study comparing 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D visions for the performance of esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS: Six endoscopists (3 experts and 3 trainees) performed ESD of target lesions in isolated porcine esophagus using a prototype 3D flexible endoscope under 2D or 3D vision. Study endpoints were procedure time, speed of mucosal incision and submucosal dissection, number of technical adverse events (perforation, muscle layer damage, and sample damage), and degree of sense of security, fatigue, and eye strain. RESULTS: Procedure time and speed of mucosal incision/submucosal dissection were equivalent for 2D and 3D visions in both experts and trainees. The number of technical adverse events using 2D vision (mean [standard deviation], 3.5 [4.09]) tended to be higher than that using 3D vision in trainees (1.33 [2.80]; P = .06). In experts, 2D and 3D visions were equivalent. The degree of sense of security using 3D vision (3.67 [0.82]) was significantly higher than that using 2D vision (2.67 [0.52]) in trainees (P = .04), but was equivalent in experts. The degree of eye strain using 3D vision (3.00 [0.00]) was significantly higher than that using 2D vision (2.17 [0.41]) in trainees, but was equivalent in experts. CONCLUSIONS: 3D vision improves the sense of security during ESD and may reduce technical errors, especially in trainees, indicating the feasibility of a clinical trial of ESD under 3D vision.

＜文献概要＞接触型光学超拡大内視鏡であるECS(endocytoscopy system)はリアルタイムに生体粘膜細胞を観察でき,生検病理診断に匹敵しうる内視鏡診断を実現するoptical biopsyを可能とする.腺管構造異型と細胞異型に相当するECS所見を高度ECS異型と定義し,高度ECS異型陽性を癌診断基準とすると,早期胃癌診断感度は約90%,特異度は90～100%と高い診断能を有する.生検は患者・病変因子などで実施困難な場合があり,またsampling error・瘢痕形成によるESDへの悪影響・医療コスト増大などの課題もある.このため,ECSによるoptical biopsyのみで生検を省略するアプローチは有益な臨床応用となりえる.胃粘膜では生体染色が不良でECS観察が困難な症例が1割あるなどの課題はあるものの,ECSの発展普及が期待される.
