The Efficacy of 480 ml Oral Sodium Sulfate for Improving Insufficient Bowel Preparation of Colonoscopy with High-Concentrated Polyethylene Glycol. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2023; 2023:6359165. [PMID: 37808965 PMCID: PMC10560111 DOI: 10.1155/2023/6359165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Oral sulfate solution (OSS) is used for bowel preparation (BP) during colonoscopy. The way of taking this agent can be used a same-day regimen (only on the day of colonoscopy) and split regimen (the day before and on the day of colonoscopy) for receiving it. In this study, we analyzed the efficacy of a same-day regimen of 480 ml OSS for insufficient bowel preparation (BP) with high-concentrated polyethylene glycol (H-PEG). Materials and Methods This multicenter retrospective study was conducted from December 2021 to December 2022 at three related institutions on patients aged ≥ 20 years with a fair or poor Aronchick score of BP with 1 l H-PEG in previous colonoscopy. All patients received a low-residual diet and 10 ml of 0.75% picosulfate sodium a day before the colonoscopy and 480 ml of OSS and ≥1 l of water 3 hours before the colonoscopy. We analyzed the rate of improvement with OSS compared to H-PEG and other efficacies, and adverse events (AE). Results We evaluated 125 cases (77 males) with an average age of 72.1 ± 8.8 years. The completion rate of 480 ml of OSS was 97.6% (122/125). The improvement rate of BP showing good or excellent score with OSS was 70.4% (88/125). Compared OSS with previous H-PEG, the insertion time (min) was 7.0 ± 4.8 vs. 8.1 ± 6.0 (p = 0.01), and the adenoma detection rates were 67.2% vs. 63.2% (p = 0.05). The cleansing time (min) was 131 ± 46 vs. 165 ± 53 (p < 0.01). The rate of AE with OSS was 10.4% (13/125). There were no significant differences about AE in age and gender. The tolerance of OSS compared with H-PEG (good/similar/bad) was 72.0%/24.8%/3.2% (amounts), 26.4%/39.2%/34.4% (taste), and 76.8%/10.4%/12.8% (overall preference), respectively. Conclusions The same-day regimen of 480 ml OSS effectively improved the insufficient BP of 1 l H-PEG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Aortic stenosis (AS) is sometimes associated with gastrointestinal bleeding, and this phenomenon is known as Heyde's syndrome. Such bleeding is most often considered to originate from gastrointestinal angiodysplasias, but the frequency and endoscopic features of such bleeding remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the frequency and endoscopic features of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia in patients with severe AS. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this multicenter, retrospective study, we evaluated consecutive patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with severe AS from May 2016 to December 2019. We extracted the data on the clinicopathological features according to the status of anemia, the proportion of patients who underwent gastrointestinal endoscopic examinations and demonstrated gastrointestinal angiodysplasia, and identified the endoscopic features associated with such patients. RESULTS In 325 patients, the rates of moderate/severe anemia (hemoglobin < 11 g/dL) were 52%. Regarding medicine, there were no significant differences between the patients with and without moderate/severe anemia. Patients were examined by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (21%), colonoscopy (12%), and balloon-assisted enteroscopy or small bowel capsule endoscopy (1.5%). Patients with moderate/severe anemia had significantly more angiodysplasia (38.3% vs. 7.7%; p < 0.0001) and active bleeding (23.4% vs. 0%; p < 0.01). Angiodysplasia was detected in 21 patients (stomach, n = 9; small intestine, n = 5, and colon, n = 10). CONCLUSIONS The results suggest, for the first time, that patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI and moderate/severe anemia frequently had gastrointestinal angiodysplasia and active bleeding throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Differentiation of colorectal cancers (CRCs) with deep submucosal invasion (T1b) from CRCs with superficial invasion (T1a) or no invasion (Tis) is not straightforward. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system to establish the diagnosis of early-stage cancers using nonmagnified endoscopic white-light images alone. METHODS From 5108 images, 1513 lesions (Tis, 1074; T1a, 145; T1b, 294) were collected from 1470 patients at 10 academic hospitals and assigned to training and testing datasets (3:1). The ResNet-50 network was used as the backbone to extract features from images. Oversampling and focal loss were used to compensate class imbalance of the invasive stage. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the testing dataset including 403 CRCs with 1392 images. Two experts and 2 trainees read the identical testing dataset. RESULTS At a 90% cutoff for the per-lesion score, CADx showed the highest specificity of 94.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 91.3-96.6), with 59.8% (95% CI, 48.3-70.4) sensitivity and 87.3% (95% CI, 83.7-90.4) accuracy. The area under the characteristic curve was 85.1% (95% CI, 79.9-90.4) for CADx, 88.2% (95% CI, 83.7-92.8) for expert 1, 85.9% (95% CI, 80.9-90.9) for expert 2, 77.0% (95% CI, 71.5-82.4) for trainee 1 (vs CADx; P = .0076), and 66.2% (95% CI, 60.6-71.9) for trainee 2 (P < .0001). The function was also confirmed on 9 short videos. CONCLUSIONS A CADx system developed with endoscopic white-light images showed excellent per-lesion specificity and accuracy for T1b lesion diagnosis, equivalent to experts and superior to trainees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Effects of linked-color imaging (LCI) on colorectal lesion detection and colonoscopy quality remain controversial. This study compared the detection rates of adenoma and other precursor lesions using LCI vs white-light imaging (WLI) during screening, diagnostic, and surveillance colonoscopies. METHODS This randomized controlled trial was performed at 11 institutions in 4 Asian countries/regions. Patients with abdominal symptoms, a primary screening colonoscopy, positive fecal immunochemical test results, or undergoing postpolypectomy surveillance were recruited and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the LCI or high-definition WLI group. The primary outcome was adenoma detection rate (ADR). Secondary outcomes were polyp detection rate, advanced ADR, sessile serrated lesion (SSL) detection rate, and the mean number of adenomas per colonoscopy. The recommended surveillance schedule distribution after trial colonoscopy was analyzed. RESULTS Between November 2020 and January 2022, there were 3050 participants (LCI, n = 1527; WLI, n = 1523) recruited. The LCI group ADR was significantly higher than the WLI group ADR using intention-to-treat (58.7% vs 46.7%; P < .01) and per-protocol analyses (59.6% vs 46.4%; P < .01). The LCI group polyp detection rates (68.6% vs 59.5%; P < .01), SSL detection rates (4.8% vs 2.8%; P < .01), and adenomas per colonoscopy (1.48 vs 1.02; P < .01) also were significantly higher. However, the advanced ADR was not significantly different (13.2% vs 11.0%; P = .06). Significantly more patients in the LCI group had shorter recommended surveillance schedules than the WLI group (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Compared with WLI, LCI improved adenoma and other polyp detection rates, including SSLs, resulting in alteration of the recommended surveillance schedule after screening, diagnostic, and postpolypectomy surveillance colonoscopies.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: V-ATPase is highly expressed in cancer cells and has been shown to be involved in the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells, invasion of tissues, survival of cancer cells, and the formation of drug resistance. The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as V-ATPase inhibitors has been shown to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in some cancers.
Material and Method: We investigated the effect of proton pump inhibitors on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, one of the major causes of cancer mortality in Japan. First, three PPIs at various concentrations (lansoprazole, esomeprazole, and bonoprazan) and pyrimidine fluoride (5-FU), a key drug in chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, were used as basic medical agents. Human esophageal squamous cell lines, KYSE50 and KYSE70, were prepared and treated with the above drugs, and cell viability assays were performed using Cell Counting Kit 8 for 72 hours. We then performed a retrospective clinical study of 40 patients with clinical stage IV esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated with the drugs at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Hospital in Japan.
Result: In cell survival assays, PPIs showed significantly enhanced cytotoxic effects of pyrimidine fluoride on all cell lines compared with those not treated with PPIs. Clinical data showed no difference in the incidence of treatment-related adverse events between the PPI and non-PPI groups. The response rate after two courses of chemotherapy was 66.7% in the PPI group and 40.9% in the non-PPI group (p=0.102). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed improved OS in patients treated with PPIs (log rank test p=0.032), and multivariate analysis showed that PPI use was associated with a more favorable OS (p=0.009,HR 0.33,95% CI 0.12-0.76 ).
Conclusion: In the chemotherapy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, the use of PPIs may enhance the cytotoxic effect of the key drug, pyrimidine fluoride, while ensuring safety, and may lead to better therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
•This study aimed to assess the learning curve effect on patient's clinical outcome for EESD. Retrospective observational study, enrolling patients that underwent EESD from 2009 to 2021, divided in 2 groups. Mean procedure time was 111.8 min and 103.6 min for T1 and T2, respectively (P=0.004). The learning curve in esophageal ESD could be overcomed effectively and safely by an adequately trained Western endoscopist. Background - Esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (EESD) is a complex and time-consuming procedure at which training are mainly available in Japan. There is a paucity of data concerning the learning curve to master EESD by Western endoscopists. Objective - This study aimed to assess the learning curve effect on patient's clinical outcome for EESD. Methods - This is a retrospective observational study. Enrolling patients that underwent EESD from 2009 to 2021. The analysis was divided into two periods; T1: case 1 to 49 and T2: case 50 to 98. The following features were analyzed for each group: patients and tumors characteristics, en-bloc, complete and curative resection rates, procedure duration and adverse events rate. Results - Ninety-eight EESD procedures were performed. Mean procedure time was 111.8 min and 103.6 min for T1 and T2, respectively (P=0.004). En bloc resection rate was 93.8% and 97.9% for T1 and T2, respectively (P=0.307). Complete resection rate was 79.5% and 85.7% for T1 and T2, respectively (P=0.424). Curative resection rate was 65.3% and 71.4% for T1 and T2, respectively (P=0.258). Four patients had complications; three during T1 period and one during T2 period. Overall mortality rate: 0%. Conclusion - The esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection could be performed effectively and safely by an adequately trained Western endoscopist.

Abstract
Colonic mucus layers protect intestinal tissues against intestinal bacteria. We investigated the effects of dietary fiber and its metabolites on mucus production in the colonic mucosa. Mice were fed a partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG)-containing diet and a fiber-free diet (FFD). The colon mucus layer, fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels, and gut microbiota were evaluated. Mucin 2 (MUC2) expression was assessed in SCFA-treated LS174T cells. The role of AKT in MUC2 production was investigated. The mucus layer in the colonic epithelium was significantly increased in the PHGG group compared with that in the FFD group. In the PHGG group, an increase in Bacteroidetes in the stool was observed, and fecal acetate, butyrate, propionate, and succinate levels were significantly increased. However, MUC2 production was significantly increased only in succinate-stimulated LS174T cells. The succinate-induced MUC2 production was associated with AKT phosphorylation. Succinate mediated the PHGG-induced increase in the colon mucus layer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION SOUTEN (KANEKA Co., Tokyo, Japan) is a unique snare with a disk tip. We analyzed the efficacy of precutting endoscopic mucosal resection with SOUTEN (PEMR-S) for colorectal lesions. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 57 lesions of 10-30 mm treated with PEMR-S at our institution from 2017 to 2022. The indications were lesions that were difficult for standard EMR due to size, morphology, and poor elevation by injection. Various therapeutic results of PEMR-S such as en bloc resection, procedure time, and perioperative hemorrhage were analyzed, and the results of 20 lesions of 20-30 mm with PEMR-S were compared to those of lesions with standard EMR (2012-2014) using propensity score matching. Additionally, the stability of the SOUTEN disk tip was analyzed in a laboratory experiment. RESULTS The polyp size was 16.5 ± 4.2 mm and the non-polypoid morphology rate was 80.7%. Histopathological diagnosis included 10 sessile-serrated lesions, 43 low-grade and high-grade dysplasias, and 4 T1 cancers. After matching, the en bloc resection and histopathological complete resection rates of lesions of 20-30 mm between PEMR-S and standard EMR (90.0% vs. 58.1%, p = 0.03 and 70.0% vs. 45.0%, p = 0.11). The procedure time (min) was 14.8 ± 9.7 and 9.7 ± 8.3 (p < 0.01). The en bloc resection (%) and procedure time of expert/non-expert were 89.7/85.7 (p = 0.96) and 6.1 ± 2.2/18.5 ± 7.2 (p < 0.01). The perioperative bleeding and hemostasis success rates with SOUTEN were 43.9% and 96.0%. In the experiment, the SOUTEN disk tip was fixed stably compared to other EMR snares. CONCLUSIONS PEMR-S achieved high en bloc resection of colorectal lesions of 20-30 mm though it leaded to long procedure time.

Abstract
The environmental stability of human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) on the surface of human skin and the effectiveness of disinfectant against HCoV-OC43, which are important to prevent contact transmission, have not been clarified in previous studies. Using previously generated models, we evaluated HCoV-OC43 stability and disinfection effectiveness. Then we compared the results with those for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The median survival time of HCoV-OC43 on the surface of human skin was 24.6 h (95% confidence interval, 19.7 to 29.6 h), which was higher than that of SARS-CoV-2 (10.8 h). Although the in vitro disinfectant effectiveness evaluation showed that HCoV-OC43 has a higher ethanol resistance than SARS-CoV-2, HCoV-OC43 on the skin surface was completely inactivated by a minimum of 50% ethanol within 5 s (the log reduction values were >4.0). Moreover, 1.0% chlorhexidine gluconate and 0.2% benzalkonium chloride showed relatively high disinfectant effectiveness, and the log reduction values when these disinfectants were applied for 15 s were >3.0. HCoV-OC43 is highly stable on the skin surface, which may increase the risk of contact transmission. Although HCoV-OC43 has relatively high ethanol resistance, appropriate hand hygiene practices with current alcohol-based disinfectants sufficiently reduce the risk of contact transmission. IMPORTANCE This study revealed the environmental stability of HCoV-OC43 and disinfectant effectiveness against HCoV-OC43, which had not been demonstrated in previous studies. HCoV-OC43 is highly stable on the surface of human skin, with a survival time of approximately 25 h. High stability of HCoV-OC43 may increase the risk of contact transmission. Furthermore, the in vitro disinfectant effectiveness evaluation showed that HCoV-OC43, which is classified as an envelope virus, has a relatively high ethanol resistance. This finding suggests that disinfectant effectiveness may vary greatly depending on the virus and that each virus targeted for infection control should be evaluated individually. HCoV-OC43 on the skin surface was rapidly inactivated by 50% ethanol, which suggests that appropriate hand hygiene practices with current alcohol-based disinfectants can sufficiently reduce the risk of HCoV-OC43 contact transmission.

Abstract
Small intestinal lipomas are rare, but may cause obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The endoscopic unroofing technique excises only the upper third of the lipoma and allows both histological confirmation and complete treatment with minimal risk of perforation. We present a rare case of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding caused by a jejunal lipoma. A 75-year-old man on antiplatelet therapy presented to our department with melena and anemia. Computed tomography revealed he had a 45-mm jejunal submucosal tumor with fat attenuation. Endoscopic resection using an endoscopic unroofing technique with double balloon enteroscopy was successfully performed. The tumor was confirmed to be a lipoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely used treatment for early gastrointestinal cancer. However, colon ESD remains challenging. Previous studies on colon ESD using the traction method used a small sample, single-center design, providing insufficient evidence of this procedure's efficacy. We thus aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the traction method in colon ESD in this multicenter randomized trial. METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized, two-arm controlled trial at 10 facilities in Japan. A 1:1 allocation was conducted for the conventional ESD (C-ESD) and traction ESD (T-ESD) groups. The primary end-point was ESD procedure time. RESULTS We included 128 C-ESD and 123 T-ESD cases from April 2020 to August 2021. The median procedure times for C-ESD and T-ESD were 61 (40-100) and 53 (40-76) min (P = 0.18), respectively, and no significant differences were observed between the groups. Subgroup analysis showed that the median procedure times for patients with a lesion diameter of ≥30 mm in the C-ESD and T-ESD groups were 89 (57-80) and 69 (50-104) min (P = 0.05), respectively, and for nonexpert operators were 81 (62-120) and 64 (52-109) min (P = 0.07), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The traction method did not contribute to a significantly shortened ESD procedure time. However, this method may be useful when the tumor diameter is large or if the procedure is conducted by nonexpert endoscopists.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An endoscopic system using 5-color light-emitting diodes (LEDs) (EVIS X1; Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan), which includes texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI), has been released. In this study, we analyzed the effects of TXI on the visibility of non-polypoid colorectal lesions and its diagnostic accuracy. METHODS We reviewed 101 non-polypoid lesions from 26 patients observed with white light imaging (WLI), narrow band imaging (NBI), and TXI. One representative image of each mode was evaluated by 6 endoscopists using a polyp visibility score of 4 (excellent) to 1 (poor). We calculated the color difference (CD) values for each lesion in the three modes. For tumor characteristics, one representative image of TXI and NBI magnification was evaluated by 3 experts according to a NBI classification. RESULTS The least squares means [95% confidence interval] of polyp visibility score of TXI (3.42 [3.06-3.77]) was significantly higher than that of WLI (2.85 [2.49-3.20], p < 0.001) but not that of NBI (3.33 [2.98-3.69], p = 0.258). The CD value of TXI (13.3 ± 6.3) was higher than that of WLI (9.7 ± 6.0, p < 0.001) but not that of NBI (13.1 ± 6.8, p = 0.81). For sessile serrated lesions, the CD value of TXI (11.1 ± 4.4) tended to be lower than that of NBI (12.6 ± 6.0, p = 0.07). The diagnostic accuracy and confidence level of magnification for NBI were significantly better than those for TXI (87.1 vs. 80.5%, p = 0.027, 87.5 vs. 62.7%, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION TXI showed better visibility than WLI in terms of the endoscopist's score and CD value and may improve polyp detection.

Abstract
Aspirin has been shown to prevent the onset of colorectal adenoma and cancer. This study aimed to identify patient characteristics and blood chemistry factors related to the effect of aspirin. A total of 231 men and 59 women who participated in our previous randomized clinical study in 2007-2009 using aspirin or placebo (J-CAPP study) were analyzed. Interaction of aspirin with age at entry, body mass index (BMI), alcohol intake, blood biochemistry, and nutrients calculated from a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire were analyzed on the basis of the presence of adenomas 2 years later. Our study showed that suppression of adenoma by aspirin was not affected by age or BMI. Among men, significant suppression of adenoma by aspirin was seen with triglyceride (TG) <167 mg/dL (P = 0.02), total cholesterol (T-cho) ≥220 mg/dL (P = 0.01), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ≥60 mg/dL (P < 0.01), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ≥140 mg/dL (P = 0.01), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <30 IU/L (P = 0.01), alanine aminotransferase <30 IU/L (P = 0.04), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase <60 IU/L (P = 0.04). In addition, the interaction was significant with TG ≥/<167 mg/dL (P = 0.02), T-cho ≥/<220 mg/dL (P = 0.03), HDL ≥/<60 mg/dL (P = 0.02), LDL ≥/<140 mg/dL (P = 0.03), and AST ≥/<30 IU/L (P = 0.01). Daily nutrient intake associated with aspirin was <2,000 mg sodium (P = 0.06) and ≥850 μg retinol equivalent (P = 0.05) among men, indicating a marginal effect on adenoma suppression. No significant differences were detected among women due to the small sample size. In conclusion, lipid metabolism and liver function were correlated with the suppressive effect of aspirin on the recurrence of colorectal adenoma. PREVENTION RELEVANCE Aspirin has been shown to prevent the onset of colorectal adenoma and cancer, and its effect modifications have been analyzed. Lipid metabolism and liver function were correlated with the suppressive effect of aspirin on the recurrence of colorectal adenoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In light-emitting diode (LED) and laser colonoscopy, linked color imaging (LCI) superiority to white-light imaging (WLI) for polyp detection is shown separately. We analyzed the noninferiority of LCI between LED and laser colonoscopy and that of WLI (LECOL study). METHODS We prospectively collected nonpolypoid lesions with WLI and LCI using LED and laser colonoscopy from January 2021 to August 2021. All images were evaluated randomly by 12 endoscopists (six nonexperts and six experts in three institutions) using the polyp visibility score: 4, excellent; 3, good; 2, fair; and 1, poor. The comparison score (LED better/similar/laser better) for redness and brightness was evaluated for WLI and LCI pictures of each lesion. RESULTS Finally, 63 nonpolypoid lesions were evaluated, and the mean polyp size was 24.5 ± 13.4 mm. Histopathology revealed 13 serrated lesions and 50 adenomatous/cancerous lesions. The mean polyp visibility scores of LCI pictures were significantly higher than those of WLI in the LED (3.35 ± 0.85 vs. 3.08 ± 0.91, P < 0.001) and the laser (3.40 ± 1.71 vs. 3.05 ± 0.97, P < 0.001) group, and the noninferiority of LCI pictures between LED and laser was significant (P < 0.001). The comparison scores revealed that the evaluation of redness and brightness (LED better/similar/laser better) were 26.8%/40.1%/33.1% and 43.5%/43.5%/13.0% for LCI pictures (P < 0.001) and 20.6%/44.3%/35.1% and 60.3%/31.7%/8.0% for WLI pictures (P < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION The noninferiority of polyp visibility with WLI and LCI in LED and laser colonoscopy was shown. WLI and LCI of LED tended to be brighter and less reddish than those of laser.

Abstract
Mesalamine is a key drug in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) for both induction and maintenance therapy. On the other hand, it is known that there are some cases of mesalamine intolerance that are difficult to distinguish from symptoms due to aggravation of UC. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical characteristic of mesalamine intolerance in UC. A retrospective, observational study was conducted. We enrolled 31 patients who were diagnosed as mesalamine intolerance between April 2015 to March 2020. We examined clinical features, time to onset, drug types of mesalamine, DLST positive rate, colonoscopy findings, disease activity, and clinical course after diagnosis. The average dose of mesalamine was 3.69 g and DLST-positive was 57.1%. Within the first 2 weeks from the start of mesalamine, 51.6% showed symptoms of intolerance. The serum CRP level was relatively high at ≥10.0 mg/dl in 53.6% of the cases. There was no difference in clinical background, symptoms, or laboratory findings between patients with DLST-positive and negative. In this study, we clarified the clinical characteristics of mesalamine intolerant patients, and found no difference in the clinical background or success rate of desensitization therapy between positive and negative DLST cases.

Abstract
Background/Aims Several studies have assessed the effect of cool temperature on colonic peristalsis. Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) is a temperature-sensitive ion channel activated by mild cooling expressed in the colon. We examined the antispasmodic effect of cool temperature on colonic peristalsis in a prospective, randomized, single-blind trial and based on the video imaging and intraluminal pressure of the proximal colon in rats and TRPM8-deficient mice. Methods In the clinical trial, we randomly assigned a total of 94 patients scheduled to undergo colonoscopy to 2 groups: the mildly cool water (n = 47) and control (n = 47) groups. We used 20 mL of 15°C water for the mildly cool water. The primary outcome was the proportion of subjects with improved peristalsis after treatment. In the rodent proximal colon, we evaluated the intraluminal pressure and performed video imaging of the rodent proximal colon with cool water administration into the colonic lumen. Clinical trial registry website (Trial No. UMIN-CTR; UMIN000030725). Results In the randomized controlled trial, after treatment, the proportion of subjects with no peristalsis with cool water was significantly higher than that in the placebo group (44.7% vs 23.4%; P < 0.05). In the rodent colon model, cool temperature water was associated with a significant decrease in colonic peristalsis through its suppression of the ratio of peak frequency (P < 0.05). Cool temperature-treated TRPM8-deficient mice did not show a reduction in colonic peristalsis compared with wild-type mice. Conclusion For the first time, this study demonstrates that cool temperature-dependent suppression of colonic peristalsis may be associated with TRPM8 activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent progress in ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment has been remarkable, and various medications have been applied. However, some patients with UC are refractory to treatment and convert to surgery. AIM To investigate the role of colonic mucosal Wnt-5a expression in the pathogenesis of UC and the effect of bioactive Wnt-5a peptide on colitis in mice. METHODS Wnt-5a peptide was intraperitoneally administered to mice every day from the beginning of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment. The severity of colitis was evaluated based on body weight change, colonic length, and histological scores. Colonic mucosal TNF-α and KC mRNA expression levels were measured. This study included 70 patients with UC in clinical remission. Wnt-5a, TNFα, and IL-8 mRNA expression in the rectal mucosa were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction using biopsy materials. Wnt-5a mRNA expression levels were compared between patients who relapsed and those in remission. We examined the correlation of Wnt-5a expression with TNF-α and IL-8 expression. RESULTS Wnt-5a peptide significantly attenuated the severity of DSS-induced colitis. Moreover, mucosal TNF-α and KC mRNA expression were significantly suppressed by Wnt-5a peptide treatment. Wnt-5a mRNA levels were significantly lower in patients with subsequent relapse than in those who remained in remission. Mucosal Wnt-5a was inversely correlated with TNF α and IL-8 expression. CONCLUSION Wnt-5a peptide suppressed colitis in mice, and decreased Wnt-5a expression was strongly associated with relapse in patients with UC. Wnt-5a may have an inhibitory effect on mucosal inflammation in UC, and Wnt-5a peptide could be a new therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
We present water vapor vertical distributions on Mars retrieved from 3.5 years of solar occultation measurements by Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which reveal a strong contrast between aphelion and perihelion water climates. In equinox periods, most of water vapor is confined into the low-middle latitudes. In aphelion periods, water vapor sublimated from the northern polar cap is confined into very low altitudes-water vapor mixing ratios observed at the 0-5 km lower boundary of measurement decrease by an order of magnitude at the approximate altitudes of 15 and 30 km for the latitudes higher than 50°N and 30-50°N, respectively. The vertical confinement of water vapor at northern middle latitudes around aphelion is more pronounced in the morning terminators than evening, perhaps controlled by the diurnal cycle of cloud formation. Water vapor is also observed over the low latitude regions in the aphelion southern hemisphere (0-30°S) mostly below 10-20 km, which suggests north-south transport of water still occurs. In perihelion periods, water vapor sublimated from the southern polar cap directly reaches high altitudes (>80 km) over high southern latitudes, suggesting more effective transport by the meridional circulation without condensation. We show that heating during perihelion, sporadic global dust storms, and regional dust storms occurring annually around 330° of solar longitude (L S) are the main events to supply water vapor to the upper atmosphere above 70 km.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This is the first report from a multicenter prospective cohort study of colorectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET), the C-NET STUDY, conducted to assess the long-term outcomes of the enrolled patients. This report aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological features of the enrolled patients and lesions. METHODS Colorectal NET patients aged 20-74 years were consecutively enrolled and followed up at 50 institutions. The baseline characteristics and clinicopathological findings at enrollment and treatment were assessed. RESULTS A total of 495 patients with 500 colorectal NETs were included. The median patient age was 54 years, and 85.3% were asymptomatic. The most frequent lesion location was the lower rectum (88.0%); 99.4% of the lesions were clinically diagnosed to be devoid of metastatic findings, and 95.4% were treated with endoscopic resection. Lesions < 10 mm comprised 87.0% of the total, 96.6% had not invaded the muscularis propria, and 92.6% were classified as WHO NET grade 1. Positive lymphovascular involvement was found in 29.2% of the lesions. Its prevalence was high even in small NETs with immunohistochemical/special staining for pathological assessment (26.4% and 40.9% in lesions sized < 5 mm and 5-9 mm, respectively). Among 70 patients who underwent radical surgery primarily or secondarily, 18 showed positive lymph node metastasis. CONCLUSIONS The characteristics of real-world colorectal NET patients and lesions are elucidated. The high positivity of lymphovascular involvement in small NETs highlights the necessity of assessing the clinical significance of positive lymphovascular involvement based on long-term outcomes, which will be examined in later stages of the C-NET STUDY.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed bleeding (DB) rarely occurs after cold snare polypectomy (CSP) for colorectal polyps, but no large-scale studies have investigated this. The present study evaluated the rate, characteristics, and risk factors of DB of CSP. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study at 10 Japanese institutions. A total of 18,007 patients underwent CSP for colorectal polyps ≤ 10 mm in size from March 2015 to September 2019, and cases of DB (DB group) were analyzed for the rate, antithrombotic drugs, polyp size, morphology, location, and risk factors. As a control, 269 non-bleeding cases (non-DB group) with 606 polyps who underwent CSP at the same 10 facilities in the 2-week study period were extracted. RESULTS We analyzed 26 DB cases with 28 lesions, and the total DB rate was 0.14% (26/18,007). The DB group had significantly higher rates of using antiplatelets (42.3% vs. 13.0%, p < 0.001) and anticoagulants (19.2% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.002), and significantly higher rates of polyp size ≥ 5 mm (67.9% vs. 45.2%, p = 0.015), rectal lesion (25.0% vs. 6.6%, p = 0.003), and polypoid lesion (89.3% vs. 55.3%, p < 0.001) than the non-DB group. A multivariate analysis (odds ratio; 95% confidence interval) for patient characteristics showed antiplatelet use (4.521; 1.817-11.249, p = 0.001) and anticoagulant use (7.866; 20.63-29.988, p = 0.003) as independent risk factors for DB. Polyp size ≥ 5 mm (3.251; 1.417-7.463, p = 0.005), rectal lesion (3.674; 1.426-9.465, p = 0.007), and polypoid lesion (7.087; 20.81-24.132, p = 0.002) were also risk factors for lesion characteristics. CONCLUSIONS The rate of DB was 0.14% and antithrombotic drug use, polyp size, location, and morphology were related to it.
