Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an effective method for resecting early-stage tumors in the digestive system. To achieve a low injection pressure of the injected fluid and continuous elevation of the mucosa following injection during the ESD technique, we introduced an innovative injectable sodium-alginate-based drug-loaded microsphere (Cipro-ThSA) for ESD surgery, which was generated through an emulsion reaction involving cysteine-modified sodium alginate (ThSA) and ciprofloxacin. Cipro-ThSA microspheres exhibited notable adhesiveness, antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial properties, providing a certain level of postoperative wound protection. In vitro cell assays confirmed the decent biocompatibility of the material. Lastly, according to animal experiments involving submucosal elevation of porcine colons, Cipro-ThSA microspheres ensure surgically removable lift height while maintaining the mucosa for approximately 246% longer than saline, which could effectively reduce surgical risks while providing sufficient time for operation. Consequently, the Cipro-ThSA microsphere holds great promise as a novel submucosal injection material, in terms of enhancing the operational safety and effectiveness of ESD surgery.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastrointestinal tumors and premalignant lesions needs submucosal fluid cushion (SFC) for mucosal uplift before dissection, and wound care including wound closure and rapid healing postoperatively. Current SFC materials as well as materials and/or methods for post-ESD wound care have single treatment effect and hold corresponding drawbacks, such as easy dispersion, short duration, weak hemostasis and insufficient repair function. Thus, designing materials that can serve as both SFC materials and wound care is highly desired, and remains a challenge. Herein, we report a two-component in-situ hydrogel prepared from maleimide-based oxidized sodium alginate and sulfhydryl carboxymethyl-chitosan, which gelated mainly based on "click" chemistry and Schiff base reaction. The hydrogels showed short gelation time, outstanding tissue adhesion, favorable hemostatic properties, and good biocompatibility. A rat subcutaneous ultrasound model confirmed the ability of suitable mucosal uplift height and durable maintenance time of AM solution. The in vivo/in vitro rabbit liver hemorrhage model demonstrated the effects of hydrogel in rapid hemostasis and prevention of delayed bleeding. The canine esophageal ESD model corroborated that the in-situ hydrogel provided good mucosal uplift and wound closure effects, and significantly accelerated wound healing with accelerating re-epithelization and ECM remodeling post-ESD. The two-component in-situ hydrogels exhibited great potential in gastrointestinal tract ESD.

Abstract
As a viscous high-performance submucosal injection material (SIM) used in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), sodium alginate-based SIM (SA-SIM) was recently introduced as high-performance SIM equivalent to sodium hyaluronate-based SIM (HA-SIM) in Japan. However, a comprehensive, detailed comparison of SA and HA is yet to be performed. In this study, we precisely measured the viscoelastic properties, submucosal elevation height (SEH), and injection pressure (IP). Furthermore, we compared the outcomes of ESD using an ex vivo ESD model. There was no significant difference in SEHs between HA-SIM and SA-SIM at all post-injection times, and the IP of the SA-SIM injection was significantly higher than that of the HA-SIM injection in all conditions (P < 0.0001). The viscosity at high shear rates of SA-SIM was higher than that of HA-SIM; this result was consistent with SEH/IP measurement results. No significant difference was observed in ESD procedure time and total volume of injected SIM between HA-SIM and SA-SIM (18.1 ± 6.7 and 17.8 ± 6.0 min, P = 0.8987; 13.3 ± 5.3 and 11.6 ± 5.9 ml, P = 0.4658, respectively). Although SA-SIM was slightly more difficult to inject than HA-SIM, there was no significant difference in performance between the materials. Thus, this basic study demonstrated that SA-SIM can be used for endoscopic treatment as well as HA-SIM, and supported previous clinical research data.

Differences between two sodium hyaluronate-based submucosal injection materials currently used in Japan based on viscosity analysis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5693.

Abstract
In Japan, two 0.4% sodium hyaluronate (HA)-based submucosal injection materials (SIMs) are currently used in endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD): MucoUp (HA-Mc) and Ksmart (HA-Ks). HA-Mc and HA-Ks have the same concentration and are, thus, construed by most endoscopists to have no difference. Nevertheless, visual observation conveys the impression that HA-Ks have a higher viscosity than HA-Mc, suggesting that HA-Ks performs better than HA-Mc. This study aimed to examine the differences between HA-Mc and HA-Ks. HA-Ks exhibited higher viscosity due to greater weight-average molecular weight compared with HA-Mc. HA-Ks had significantly greater submucosal elevation height (SEH) than HA-Mc; the SEH of HA-Ks-80% (80% dilution of HA-Ks) was the same as that of HA-Mc. The ESD procedure time was significantly shorter with HA-Ks than with HA-Mc (15.2 ± 4.1 vs. 19.5 ± 5.9; P = 0.049). The total injection volume for HA-Ks was significantly lower than that for HA-Mc (10.8 ± 3.6 vs. 14.4 ± 4.6; P = 0.045). However, no significant difference in these items was observed between HA-Mc and HA-Ks-80%. HA-Mc and HA-Ks were considered to be almost the same. Nonetheless, HA-Ks exhibited higher viscosity and SIM performance than HA-Mc. HA-Ks-80% had almost the same performance as HA-Mc. Thus, understanding SIM performance and characteristics requires a focus on the viscosity of SIMs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Next-generation submucosal injection materials (SIMs) with higher performance and flexibility than the current SIMs (eg, 0.4% sodium hyaluronate solution [HA]) are expected to improve the outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) but are difficult to develop. We developed a next-generation SIM by devising a 2-solution-type SIM comprising 2.0% calcium chloride solution (Ca) and 0.4% sodium alginate solution (SA) and evaluated its performance. METHODS Viscoelasticity, submucosal elevation height, and injection pressure of HA, SA, and the next-generation SIM were measured. Outcomes of ESDs on pseudo-lesions in ex vivo porcine stomach/colon models were compared. RESULTS The dramatic increase in SA viscoelasticity with the addition of Ca facilitated the formation of highly viscous submucosal cushions that can be controlled by endoscopists. The submucosal elevation height of the next-generation SIM was significantly higher than that of HA or SA with the same injection pressure. The ESD procedure time using the next-generation SIM was significantly shorter than that using HA or SA (14.2 ± 6.1 vs 29.2 ± 9.1 minutes, P = .0004, or 14.2 ± 6.1 vs 29.1 ± 5.9 minutes, P <.0001). Furthermore, the total injection volume for the next-generation SIM was considerably lower than that for HA or SA (7.0 ± 0.9 vs 17.2 ± 3.4 mL, P <.0001, or 7.0 ± 0.9 vs 16.2 ± 2.9 mL, P <.0001). CONCLUSIONS We developed an ideal next-generation SIM that achieved high performance and high flexibility in ex vivo models. Our findings warrant further investigations in a patient population.

Abstract
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a common procedure to treat early and precancerous gastrointestinal lesions. Via submucosal injection, a liquid cushion is created to lift and separate the lesion and malignant part from the muscular layer where the formed indispensable space is convenient for endoscopic incision. Saline is a most common submucosal injection liquid, but the formed liquid pad lasts only a short time, and thus repeated injections increase the potential risk of adverse events. Hydrogels with high osmotic pressure and high viscosity are used as an alternate; however, with some drawbacks such as tissue damage, excessive injection resistance, and high cost. Here, we reported a nature derived hydrogel of gelatin-oxidized alginate (G-OALG). Based on the rheological analysis and compare to commercial endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) solution (0.25% hyaluronic acid, HA), a designed G-OALG hydrogel of desired concentration and composition showed higher performances in controllable gelation and injectability, higher viscosity and more stable structures. The G-OALG gel also showed lower propulsion resistance than 0.25% HA in the injection force assessment under standard endoscopic instruments, which eased the surgical operation. In addition, the G-OALG hydrogel showed good in vivo degradability biocompatibility. By comparing the results acquired via ESD to normal saline, the G-OALG shows great histocompatibility and excellent endoscopic injectability, and enables create a longer-lasting submucosal cushion. All the features have been confirmed in the living both pig and rat models. The G-OALG could be a promising submucosal injection agent for esophageal ESD. Injectable gel with controlled viscosity.

Abstract
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are two techniques used in the resection of gastrointestinal mucosal polyps. The aim of this work is the development and evaluation of an innovative polymeric solution containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose and hyaluronic acid. For this purpose, several mixtures of these two main components, as well as other components such as fructose, citric acid, and zinc, are evaluated in terms of physicochemical and microbiological properties, rheological behavior, extensibility, syringeability, and stability at different storage conditions. Furthermore, the potential production of mucosal elevation and duration is also studied by an ex vivo model using porcine stomach and colon. Results show that the developed polymeric solutions possess optimal values of pH, from 4.58 to 6.63, for their use in the gastrointestinal tract. The formulations exhibit both Newtonian and pseudoplastic behaviors with different viscosity values as a function of their composition. All formulations exhibit high stability properties and no bacterial or fungal growth is detected. MCS01 and MCS05 are the polymeric solutions with the best syringeability results. In this line, MCS05 is the formulation that provides the highest, 2.20 ± 0.18 cm and 1.40 ± 0.11 cm, and longest-lasting, for more than 120 min, elevation effect on porcine submucosal stomach and colon tissues, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that polymeric solution MCS05 might be considered as a promising tool for use in human EMR and ESD.
