BACKGROUND:Gastric oxyntic gland adenoma is a rare neoplasm often misdiagnosed as a hyperplastic or fundic gland polyp due to nonspecific endoscopic features and the limitations of superficial biopsies, leading to diagnostic delays. CASE SUMMARY:In 2020, a gastroscopy of a 47-year-old man revealed a 0.5 cm lesion that was diagnosed as a hyperplastic polyp by superficial biopsy. By 2022, the lesion had enlarged to 1.0 cm exhibiting firmness, bleeding tendency, and disrupted submucosal layers on endoscopic ultrasound. Repeat biopsies again suggested hyperplasia. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed, confirming the diagnosis of gastric oxyntic gland adenoma. Additional surgical resection confirmed negative margins, and no recurrence at the three-year postoperative follow-up. However, endoscopic ultrasound revealed localized thickening (1.2 mm) of the muscularis mucosae at the gastric lesser curvature, likely representing post-procedural fibrosis. The patient was clinically asymptomatic, and was advised to continue annual endoscopic monitoring. CONCLUSION:This case highlights the necessity of deep biopsy or complete resection for diagnosis. We recommend long-term endoscopic surveillance post-resection and heightened clinical vigilance to mitigate misdiagnosis risks.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of stone extraction with a single peroral choledochoscopy system under direct visualization and conventional X-ray endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for non-difficult common bile duct stones.Methods:A total of 164 patients with common bile duct stones who underwent stone extraction by using the single peroral choledochoscopy system under direct visualization (the observation group, n=82) and conventional X-ray endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (the control group, n=82) from January 2018 to April 2022 in Dongfang Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were enrolled. The observation group was directly selected from the database, while the control group was randomly matched by age stratification with baseline data validated. The success rates of intubation, stone removal, postoperative complication incidence, and radiation exposure between the two groups were compared. Results:There was no significant difference between the baseline data of the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05). The number of patients with detected stones≥2 in the observation group and the control group were 59 (71.95%) and 37 (45.12%) respectively with significant difference ( χ 2=12.16, P=0.001). The success rates of bile duct intubation in the observation group and the control group were both 100.00% (82/82). The success rates of stone extraction were 98.78% (81/82) and 100.00% (82/82) respectively with no significant difference ( P>0.05). The one-time stone removal rates of the two groups were 93.90% (77/82) and 92.68% (76/82) respectively with no significant difference ( χ2=0.10, P=0.755). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05). The amount of intraoperative ray exposure volume in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group [10.20 (6.69, 18.94) mGy VS 15.41 (10.70, 22.77) mGy, U=2 462.00, P=0.003]. Conclusion:The efficacy and safety of stone extraction with single peroral choledochoscopy system under direct visualization are comparable to those of traditional X-ray ERCP for non-difficult common bile duct stones, but it can significantly reduce the intraoperative ray exposure volume during therapeutic ERCP stone extraction.

BackgroundHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly invasive disease with a high mortality rate. Our previous study found that Chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) as an endogenous metabolite can enhance the anti-tumor effect. Sorafenib has limited overall efficacy as a first-line agent in HCC, and combined with CDCA may improve its efficacy. MethodsHepG2 cells and Balb/c nude mice were used respectively for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Flow cytometry, Western blotting, HE and immunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence were used to study the effects of CDCA combined with sorafenib on HepG2 cell growth and apoptosis-related proteins. Magnetic bead coupling, protein profiling and magnetic bead immunoprecipitation were used to find the targets of CDCA action. The effect of CDCA on EGFR/Stat3 signaling pathway was further verified by knocking down Stat3 and EGFR. Finally, fluorescence confocal, and molecular docking were used to study the binding site of CDCA to EGFR. ResultsIn this study, we found that CDCA enhanced the effect of sorafenib in inhibiting the proliferation, migration and invasion of HepG2 cells. Magnetic bead immunoprecipitation and protein profiling revealed that CDCA may enhance the effect of sorafenib by affecting the EGFR/Stat3 signaling pathway. Further results from in vitro and in vivo gene knockdown experiments, confocal experiments and molecular docking showed that CDCA enhances the efficacy of sorafenib by binding to the extracellular structural domain of EGFR. ConclusionThis study reveals the mechanism that CDCA enhances the inhibitory effect of sorafenib on HepG2 cell growth in vitro and in vivo, providing a potential new combination strategy for the treatment of HCC.
Abstract Background: Gastric hyperplastic polyp commonly arises in the abnormal background mucosa, including autoimmune gastritis, also known as type A gastritis. There are no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stages of the disease, which makes it easy to be misdiagnosed and missed, and has a potential risk of malignant transformation over time.Case presentation: In 2020, a 67-year-old woman was admitted for review 6 years after gastric adenoma resection. Upper endoscopy revealed multiple lobulated polyps in the gastric body, which was histologically diagnosed as gastric adenomatous polyp as before. Interestingly, we discovered that the patient had undergone multiple polypectomies at the same part, which was inconsistent with the pathogenesis of adenomatous polyp. Then we did histological examination and revealed that partial epithelial hyperplasia and dysplasia, and the neoplastic areas were interlaced with normal mucosa. We further found that the background diagnosis was autoimmune gastritis. These results supported the diagnosis of neoplastic transformation of gastric hyperplastic polyp, not gastric adenomatous polyp. With the doubt of possible be misdiagnosed, we reviewed the medical history. Retrospective analysis in 2014, 2015 and 2016 confirmed the presence of autoimmune gastritis. Unfortunately, serological tests were not performed and no special treatment was done. Fortunately, the correct diagnosis was eventually confirmed as neoplastic transformation of gastric hyperplastic polyp in a context of autoimmune gastritis in 2020, which enables patients to receive normal treatment and monitoring, and avoids further deterioration of the disease. Conclusions: The purpose of this case report is to increase clinical awareness of neoplastic transformation of gastric hyperplastic polyp in a context of autoimmune gastritis, and hope promise for early diagnosis and treatment.
Significant proof suggests an essential role played by the bile microbiota in biliary diseases. This study retrospectively analyzed the differences in biliary microbes among patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA), distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA), pancreatic cancer (PC), and cholelithiasis (CH). Bile samples were obtained from 53 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and the bile microbiota was analyzed through 16S rRNA gene analysis and next-generation sequencing. Based on the results of linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe), the top three biomarkers for pCCA at the genus level were Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, and Halomonas; for dCCA were Streptococcus, Prevotella, and Halomonas; and for PC were Pseudomonas, Chloroplast, and Acinetobacter. The top five genera in the pCCA, dCCA, and PC groups showed predictive values with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of 91.56%, 95.56%, and 96.59%, respectively. The PICRUSt2 analysis outcomes displayed the diversities of fifteen pathways between the CH and pCCA groups, 22 pathways between the CH and dCCA groups, and eighteen pathways between the CH and PC groups. As this pilot study identified specific microbial bile markers for patients with CH, pCCA, dCCA, and PC, the clinical implications are vast. Further study focusing on distinct bacterial populations in bile will help differentiate biliary diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of transient elastography (TE) in the staging of hepatic fibrosis in patients with autoimmune liver disease (ALD). MethodsPubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases were searched for English and Chinese articles on TE in the staging of hepatic fibrosis in ALD published from January 2000 to January 2021. Two reviewers independently performed data extraction for the articles included, and QUADAS2 was used for quality assessment. The bivariate mixed effects model in Stata 15.0 software was used to perform the Meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 11 articles were included, with 1041 patients in total. In the diagnosis of significant hepatic fibrosis (F≥2), TE had a pooled sensitivity of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.75-0.86), a specificity of 0.87(95%CI: 0.79-0.92), and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.91(95%CI: 0.88-0.93); in the diagnosis of advanced hepatic fibrosis (F≥3), TE had a pooled sensitivity of 0.81(95%CI: 0.74-0.87), a sensitivity of 0.90(95%CI: 0.85-0.93), and an AUC of 0.92(95%CI: 0.90-0.94); in the diagnosis of early-stage liver cirrhosis (F4), TE had a pooled sensitivity of 0.87(95%CI: 0.74-0.93), a specificity of 0.93(95%CI: 0.87-0.97), and an AUC of 0.96(95%CI: 0.94-0.97). ConclusionTE has a good diagnostic value in evaluating significant liver fibrosis, advanced liver fibrosis, and early-stage liver cirrhosis in patients with ALD, especially with a relatively high diagnostic accuracy for early-stage liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of epinephrine in preventing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP).Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on epinephrine for preventing PEP from inception to October 10, 2020 were searched in databases including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, VIP Information Network, China National Knowledge Infrastructure,WanFang Data,and clinical trial registration platforms including ClinicalTrials.gov,WHO International Clinical Trial Registration Platform. Literature was screened independently by two reviewers, data were extracted and the risk of bias of included studies were assessed. The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3.Results:A total of 410 papers were retrieved and 8 RCTs involving 4 208 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the saline group, the epinephrine could reduce the incidence of PEP ( RR=0.29,95% CI:0.16-0.50, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the therapeutic effect between group epinephrine and group indomethacin ( RR=0.17,95% CI:0.02-1.39, P=0.100) or group indomethacin combined with epinephrine and group indomethacin ( RR=1.15,95% CI:0.61-2.16, P=0.670). Conclusion:Local spraying of epinephrine on the duodenal papilla can reduce the incidence of PEP compared with normal saline. But the epinephrine or combination of indomethacin and epinephrine fails to reveal any benefit over indomethacin alone in preventing PEP.
