Almost 50% of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) patients progressed from Barrett's esophagus (BE). EAC is often diagnosed at late stages and is related to dismal prognosis. However, there are still no effective methods for stratification and therapy in BE and EAC. Two public datasets (GSE26886 and GSE37200) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between BE and EAC. Then, a series of bioinformatics analyses were performed to explore potential biomarkers associated with BE-EAC. 27 up- and 104 down-regulated genes were observed between GSE26886 and GSE37200. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the DEGs were highly involved in tumorigenesis. Subsequently, Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) were performed to explore the potential genes related to BE-EAC, which were validated in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and 5 up-regulated genes (MYO1A, ACE2, COL1A1, LGALS4, and ADRA2A) and 3 down-regulated genes (AADAC, RAB27A, and P2RY14) were found in EAC. Meanwhile, ADRA2A and AADAC could contribute to EAC pathogenesis and progression. MYO1A, ACE2, COL1A1, LGALS4, ADRA2A, AADAC, RAB27A, and P2RY14 could be potential novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in BE-EAC.
Objective To compare the performance of gastroenterologists major in western medicine in diagnosing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types of functional dyspepsia (FD), postprandial distress (PDS) and epigastric pain syndromes (EPS) based on the main symptoms, with that of traditional TCM practitioners in outpatient services. Methods Patients with PDS or EPS were enrolled in the study from six tertiary referral centers between January 2016 and December 2017. Their symptoms were first diagnosed by medical doctors, and then by the TCM practitioners. The diagnostic agreement between the gastroenterologists and the TCM practitioners was calculated. The patients' data and their types of FD syndrome were collected and analyzed. Results In total 160 patients, including 81 with PDS and 79 with EPS were enrolled. The total diagnostic consistency rate between the gastroenterologists and TCM practitioners was 86.3%, while that of PDS and EPS was 85.2% and 87.3%, respectively. The most common type of PDS diagnosed by TCM practitioners was liver-stomach disharmony syndrome (33.3%), spleen deficiency and qi-stagnation syndrome (33.3%), while that for EPS was liver-stomach disharmony syndrome (36.7%). Conclusions Gastroenterologists had a high diagnostic agreement about the types of FD syndromes based on differential diagnosis of the main symptoms, compared with TCM practitioners. This may aid gastroenterologists in selecting Chinese medicine for FD-based on syndrome differentiation.
PURPOSE:Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) including Chinese patent medicine has been widely used to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Syndrome differentiation is the essence of TCM. However, the diagnostic ability of gastroenterologists to detect TCM syndromes in IBS in China remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of gastroenterologists to diagnose the TCM syndromes of IBS based on modified simple criteria compared with TCM practitioners.METHODS:Patients meeting the Rome III criteria for IBS-D or IBS-C were recruited from six tertiary referral centers between January 2016 and December 2017. After learning the diagnosis criteria of the TCM syndromes in IBS, gastroenterologists first diagnosed the syndromes of the enrolled patients. Subsequently, the patients were diagnosed by TCM practitioners. The rate of agreement between the gastroenterologists and TCM practitioners was analyzed. In addition, demographic data and the distribution of TCM syndrome types in IBS were also analyzed.RESULTS:A total of 178 patients (93 males and 85 females), including 131 patients with IBS-D and 47 patients with IBS-C, were enrolled in this study. The rate of agreement of the syndrome diagnosis between the gastroenterologists and TCM practitioners was 84.3%. The diagnosis consistency rates among IBS-D patients and IBS-C patients were 87.0% and 76.5%, respectively. The most common TCM syndrome type in IBS-D patients was liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome (27.5%), followed by spleen-yang deficiency syndrome (19.8%). Dryness and heat in intestine syndrome was the most common TCM syndrome in IBS-C patients (57.4%).CONCLUSIONS:Gastroenterologists had good diagnostic agreement with TCM practitioners for diagnosing TCM syndrome types in IBS after learning the diagnostic criteria. This knowledge can aid gastroenterologists in selecting suitable Chinese patent medicine to treat IBS.

Jackhammer (hypercontractile) esophagus presents with dysphagia and chest pain. Current treatments are limited. We describe a 60-year-old man who presented with dysphagia, chest pain and heartburn for a period of 1 year. His workup showed Barrett’s esophagus on endoscopy and high-resolution manometry demonstrated jackhammer esophagus with esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction. The patient was treated with proton pump inhibitor and nifedipine but without resolution of his symptoms. He was followed up to assess the efficacy of treatment with deanxit (flupentixol + melitracen). Dysphagia and chest pain resolved during the therapeutic trial and efficacy was maintained on maintenance treatment without troublesome side effects.
[Objective] This aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of external somatization symptoms and anxiety of the patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS).[Methods]All 91 IBS patients accepted the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15)and IBS Symptom Severity Scale(IBS-SSS)evaluation.All their clinical data were collected to analyze the correlation of IBS somatization symptoms and anxiety.[Results] About 52.7 % (48 of 91),76.9 % (70/91) of the IBS patients suffer from anxiety,external intestinal symptoms.The scores of SAS was 50.01 ± 12.45,the PHQ-15 scores was 9.37±5.66,and the IBS-SSS scores was 206.96±88.97.This study showed that gastrointestinal symptoms were positively related to both somatization symptoms and anxiety.Somatization symptoms were also positively related to anxiety.Meanwhile,backache,muscles ache,fatigue and sleep problems were the risk factors for anxiety.[Conclusion]External somatization symptoms and anxiety are common in IBS patients.The two symptoms are not only positively related to each other,but also related to gastrointestinal symptoms.During the therapies of IBS patients,both alleviating anxiety and relieving somatization symptoms should also be conducted synchronously.
Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyspepsia and the relationship between dyspepsia,psychological and social factors among the college students in Naning city,and to improve the prevention and treatment of dyspepsia in this region.Methods Rome Ⅲ diagnostic questionnaire for adult dyspepsia,Chinese college student mental health scale (CCSMHS),Chinese college student psychological stress scale (CCSPSS),Chinese college student adaptation scale (CCSAS) and Chinese college student personality scale (CCSPS) were performed through interview survey in 2 580 Nanning college students.Chi square test and rank sum test were used to compared differences between groups.Correlation analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and Logisitic regression analysis.Results A total of 2 520 qualified Rome m questionnaires were recovered.The prevalence of dyspepsia in Nanning college students was 5.36%(135/2 520).The most common appearance of dyspepsia in college students were dislike of drinking tea (86.96%(100/115) vs 79.10%(1 605/2 029)),dislike of pickled food (85.22%(98/115) vs 76.29%(1 548/2 029)) and missing meals (40.87%(47/115) vs 30.31%(615/2 029)),the differences were statistically significant (x2 =4.122,4.860,5.685;all P<0.05),while the dyspepsia was not related with drinking,smoking and taking raw,cold or spicy food (all P>0.05).The results of multifactor regression analysis showed that the prevalence of dyspepsia was not correlated with diet.Among the twelve dimensions of psychological health,the somatization,anxiety,depression,low self-esteem,social withdrawal,sexual psychology,paranoia,force,dependency,psychotic tendencies of dyspepsia group were significantly higher than those with non-dyspepsia group (x2 =16.981,21.805,12.520,13.539,6.998,6.154,15.013,9.457,10.715,4.260,all P<0.05).Among the seven dimensions of psychological stress,study pressure and development pressure were negative life events,and their of dyspepsia group were significantly higher than those with non-dyspepsia group (x2 =6.216,Fisher exact probability test,both P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in the seven personality,such as active,outgoing,tenacity,rigorous,altruism,affectionate and easy-going (all P>0.05).Among the seven dimensions of adaptation,the adaptation to campus life,emotion and career choice of dyspepsia group were significantly lower than those with non-dyspepsia group (x2 =8.223,8.148,5.713,all P<0.05).While there was no statistically significant difference between two groups in the other four dimensions of adaption,such as relationships,learning,ego and satisfaction (all P>0.05).The results of Logistic regression analysis in psychological health,stress and adaption of dyspepsia group and non-dyspepsia group indicated that dyspepsia was associated with somatization (odds ration (OR) =1.610,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.012-2.559),anxiety (OR=1.955,95%CI 1.216-3.142) and the study pressure (OR=2.159,95%CI 1.106-4.213).The results of Pearson correlation analysis in study pressure,somatization and anxiety of dyspepsia group showed that both somatization and anxiety were correlated with study stress in dyspepsia group (r=0.314,0.323;both P<0.05).Conclusions Dyspepsia is a common symptom in Nanning college students.Students with dyspepsia have different degrees of psychological problems which are mostly anxiety and somatization.And study stress as a negative event is the major stress factor.
