Chin Med J (Engl) 2024:00029330-990000000-01034. [PMID: 38602084 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000003080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there is still a lack of standardized management strategies for gastric low-grade dysplasia (LGD), which is a direct neoplastic precancerous lesion and requires specifically superficial destruction. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is expected to be an effective method for gastric LGD, but post-RFA pain may affect patients' satisfaction and compliance. The current study aimed to evaluate the value of a submucosal injection prior to RFA (SI-RFA) for postoperative pain and treatment outcomes. METHODS Between October 2014 and July 2021, gastric LGDs without risk factors (size >2 cm, unclear boundary, and abnormal microsurface and microvascularity) undergoing regular RFA and SI-RFA were retrospectively analyzed. Postoperative pain scores, wound healing, and clinical efficacy were compared. Propensity score matching, stratified analysis, and multivariable logistic regression were performed to control the confounding variables. RESULTS One hundred and ninety-seven gastric LGDs in 151 patients received regular RFA. Forty-nine gastric LGDs in 36 patients received SI-RFA. Thirty-six pairs of patients were selected for the assessment of postoperative pain by propensity score matching. Compared to regular RFA, SI-RFA significantly decreased the degree and duration of postoperative pain (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.13-0.84; P = 0.020), improved wound healing rate (80.0% [36/45] vs. 58.9% [89/151], P = 0.012), increased the complete ablation rate (91.8% [45/49] vs. 86.3% [170/197], χ2 = 1.094, P = 0.295), but correlated with higher rates of local recurrence and progression (25.6% [10/39] vs. 13.2% [18/136], χ2 = 3.471, P = 0.062; 8.3% [3/36] vs. 0.9% [1/116], P = 0.042). The multivariable logistic regression model confirmed that submucosal injection was associated with local recurrence (OR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.13-7.58; P = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Submucosal injections prior to RFA may reduce postoperative pain and scar formation while ensuring complete ablation of gastric LGD. However, local recurrence and progression should be considered seriously.

Abstract
At the end of the last century, a far-sighted 'working party' held in Sydney, Australia addressed the clinicopathological issues related to gastric inflammatory diseases. A few years later, an international conference held in Houston, Texas, USA critically updated the seminal Sydney classification. In line with these initiatives, Kyoto Global Consensus Report, flanked by the Maastricht-Florence conferences, added new clinical evidence to the gastritis clinicopathological puzzle.The most relevant topics related to the gastric inflammatory diseases have been addressed by the Real-world Gastritis Initiative (RE.GA.IN.), from disease definitions to the clinical diagnosis and prognosis. This paper reports the conclusions of the RE.GA.IN. consensus process, which culminated in Venice in November 2022 after more than 8 months of intense global scientific deliberations. A forum of gastritis scholars from five continents participated in the multidisciplinary RE.GA.IN. consensus. After lively debates on the most controversial aspects of the gastritis spectrum, the RE.GA.IN. Faculty amalgamated complementary knowledge to distil patient-centred, evidence-based statements to assist health professionals in their real-world clinical practice. The sections of this report focus on: the epidemiology of gastritis; Helicobacter pylori as dominant aetiology of environmental gastritis and as the most important determinant of the gastric oncogenetic field; the evolving knowledge on gastric autoimmunity; the clinicopathological relevance of gastric microbiota; the new diagnostic horizons of endoscopy; and the clinical priority of histologically reporting gastritis in terms of staging. The ultimate goal of RE.GA.IN. was and remains the promotion of further improvement in the clinical management of patients with gastritis.

Gastric dysplasia in random biopsies: the influence of Helicobacter pylori infection and alcohol consumption in the presence of a lesion. Scand J Gastroenterol 2024; 59:125-132. [PMID: 37872792 DOI: 10.1080/00365521.2023.2272563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric dysplasia in the absence of an endoscopically defined lesion is rare, usually either a false positive diagnosis or a previously unidentified precancerous lesion during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). AIMS Evaluate factors associated with the presence of an endoscopically visible lesion during follow-up in patients with histologic diagnosis of gastric dysplasia in random biopsies. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including patients referred to our institution for gastric dysplasia in random biopsies during Index EGD. Endoscopic evaluation was performed with a high-definition endoscope using narrow band imaging (HD EGD-0). If no lesion was detected, endoscopic surveillance (HD EGD-FU) was conducted within 6 months for high grade dysplasia (HGD) or 12 months for low grade (LGD) or indefinite for dysplasia (IFD). RESULTS From a total sample of 96 patients, 5 (5.2%) presented with an endoscopically visible lesion during HD EGD-0, while 10 lesions (10.4%) were identified during HD EGD-FU. Patients with Helicobacter pylori infection at Index EDG and with regular alcohol consumption (≥25 g/day) were 8 and 4 times more likely to have an endoscopically visible lesion on HD EGD-FU (p = 0.012 and p = 0.047). In binary logistic regression, both factors were independent predictors of the presence of gastric lesion on HD EGD-FU (OR 9.284, p = 0.009 and OR 5.025, p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS The presence of an endoscopically visible lesion after the histologic diagnosis of gastric dysplasia in random biopsies was more frequent during HD EGD-FU. H. pylori infection at Index EGD and regular alcohol consumption were significant predictors of the presence of gastric lesion on HD EGD-FU.

Abstract
ABSTRACT 18F-FDG PET/CT may sometimes not be an ideal imaging method for gastric adenocarcinoma. Because of the unstable physiological uptake of 18F-FDG in the gastrointestinal tract and muscles, it may interfere with the detection of lesions. We present a case of gastric intramucosal adenocarcinoma detected by 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (AMAG) is associated with an increased risk of gastric neoplasms. This study aimed to systematically analyze the incidence rate of gastric cancer (GC), low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and type-1 gastric neuroendocrine tumor (gNETs) development in AMAG adults. Studies on AMAG patients reporting the incidence of gastric neoplasms was identified through a systematic search in PUBMED and EMBASE. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute quality assessment tool. Incidence rates of GC, LGD and type-1 gNETs were examined by meta-analysis. Thirteen studies met eligibility criteria. Incidence rate of gastric cancer calculated from the pooled data was 0.14% per person-year in both single-center studies and national registration studies. Meta-analysis showed a relative risk of 11.05 (95% CI: 6.39-19.11) for gastric cancer development in AMAG patients. The calculated pooled gastric LGD and type-1 gNETs incidence rates were 0.52% and 0.83% per person-year, respectively. As for experience from our center, we presented three distinctive cases of gastric neoplasm arising from the background of AMAG. This study underscores the potential for malignant transformation of precancerous lesions and reiterates the importance of careful esophagogastroduodenoscopy screening.

Abstract
Lesions diagnosed as gastric low-grade dysplasia (LGD) may be pathologically upgraded to early gastric cancer (EGC) or high-grade dysplasia (HGD) after endoscopic resection (ER). In this study, we investigated the risk factors for pathological upgrades after ER and assessed the reason for these upgrades by retrospectively analyzing ER data between January 1999 and December 2019. We enrolled patients with LGD confirmed by forceps biopsy; the patients were classified into pathologically concordant (LGD) and upgraded (HGD and EGC) groups according to the pathology of their resected specimen. To determine the risk factors for upgrade, we compared the endoscopic findings of the concordant and upgraded groups via 1:1 matched case-control design. To find the reasons for discordance, all upgraded cases were pathologically re-evaluated. Among 1,643 cases of LGD, pathological upgrades were observed in 423 (25.7%) resected specimens and EGC was found in 111 (6.7%) lesions. After matching the upgraded and concordant cases, lesion sizes exceeding 1.5 cm (odds ratio (OR): 1.8; 95% CI: 1.1-3.0), mucosal nodularity (OR: 10.8; 95% CI: 5.6-21.0), heterogeneous color (OR: 3.0; 95% CI: 1.7-5.3), presence of erosion (OR: 2.7; 95% CI: 1.8-5.3), and open-type gastric atrophy (OR: 2.9; 95% CI: 1.7-4.9) were noted to be significantly associated with upgraded pathology to EGC. Among the EGC cases, 99 (89.2%) were found to have pre-existing dysplasia. In conclusion, endoscopic evaluations should be performed because of possible pathological upgrades and co-existence of carcinomas in LGDs, especially when they exhibit surface nodularity, erosion, heterogeneous color, and large size.

Abstract
The standardized diagnosis and management of gastric precancerous conditions and lesions are important to prevent gastric cancer. This guideline, created by 5 traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine associations, based on the current morbidity and diagnosis and treatment of gastric precancerous conditions and lesions, provides specific key points and strategies for diagnosis and treatment in the following five aspects: definition and epidemiology, diagnosis and stage, surveillance, treatment and efficacy evaluation. It is hoped that these aspects, assessed by integrating Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine and involving multidisciplinary participation, will play a guiding role in clinical diagnosis and treatment and achieve effective secondary prevention of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The natural course of gastric mild-moderate dysplasia in a country with high incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is relatively unknown. We aimed to determine the long-term cumulative incidence of and risk factors for advanced neoplasia in patients with gastric dysplasia. METHODS This was a single-center observational study including all consecutive patients diagnosed with gastric mild-moderate dysplasia between 2000 and 2017. Follow-up data were collected until December 2019. We determined the cumulative incidence of advanced neoplasia and identified risk factors with Cox regression. RESULTS A total of 3489 consecutive participants were followed for a median of 4.19 years from initial mild-moderate dysplasia diagnosis. The median surveillance interval between index endoscopy and next follow-up endoscopy was 1.08 years, and more than half of patients had at least 3 surveillance gastroscopies. During the study period, the majority of participants did not show disease progression, either with dysplasia not detected (51.4%) or with persistent dysplasia (46.1%). There were 88 (2.9%) patients (5.13 per 1000 patient-years) who progressed to advanced neoplasia within a median of 4.3 years. The annual incidence of advanced neoplasia and GC were 0.43% and 0.26%, respectively, within 5 years of mild-moderate dysplasia diagnosis. Increasing age, male sex, moderate dysplasia, dysplasia detected in fundus or cardia at index endoscopy, and persistent Helicobacter pylori infection during follow-up were independent risk factors for developing advanced neoplasia. CONCLUSIONS Even in a country with high incidence of GC, the majority of patients with gastric mild-moderate dysplasia did not experience disease progression in the long term. Intensified surveillance during the first 5 years after mild-moderate dysplasia detection is suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic biopsy can underestimate gastric malignancies as low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN). Definitively diagnosed LGIN would progress. This study aimed to evaluate predictive factors to identify malignancies misdiagnosed as LGIN by biopsy and LGIN at high risk of progression. METHODS The clinical records of patients diagnosed with gastric LGIN by endoscopic biopsy who underwent at least two endoscopies during the first year of follow-up between 2007 and 2017 were retrospectively collected. Three endoscopists reviewed photographs of the initial endoscopy, described lesion characteristics, and made endoscopic diagnoses. Logistic regression was used to analyze predictors to identify malignancies underestimated as LGIN. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of these predictors. Patient clinical outcomes of follow-up >1 year were collected. Kaplan-Meier estimates with log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to analyze predictors of progression. RESULTS Overall, 48 of 182 (26.4%) patients were proven to have malignancies. A single lesion, a large lesion size, and marked intestinal metaplasia (IM) were independent predictors of initially misdiagnosed malignancies. The area under the curve of these predictors was 0.871, with a sensitivity of 68.7% and specificity of 92.5%. Twelve of 98 patients (12.2%) progressed during the 33-month median follow-up period. A whitish appearance, irregular margins, marked IM, and histological diagnosis of LGIN more than twice within the first year were predictors for progression. CONCLUSIONS Lesions diagnosed as LGIN by biopsy with marked IM and other predictors above should be prudently treated for high potential to be malignancies or progress. Endoscopic follow-up with repeated biopsies within the first year is recommended.

RNA-Seq Analysis Reveals Dendrobium officinale Polysaccharides Inhibit Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Cancer through PER3 and AQP4. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:3036504. [PMID: 34721627 PMCID: PMC8550840 DOI: 10.1155/2021/3036504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Purpose There has been mounting evidence that Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides (DOP), a traditional Chinese medicine, are a potential candidate treatment for N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine- (MNNG-) induced precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC). However, the underlying mechanisms have not been adequately addressed. Method We utilized RNA-Seq analysis to investigate possible molecular targets and then used Venn software to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Further, we analyzed these DEGs with core analysis, upstream analysis, and interaction network analysis by IPA software and validated the DEGs by real-time PCR and Western blot. Result 78 DEGs were identified from the normal control group (CON), the PLGC model group (MOD), and the DOP-treated group (DOP) by the Venn software. Further analysis of these DEGs, including core analysis, upstream analysis, and interaction network analysis, was performed by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). The main canonical pathways involved were SPINK1 Pancreatic Cancer Pathway (-log (P value) = 4.45, ratio = 0.0667) and Circadian Rhythm Signaling (-log (P value) = 2.33, ratio = 0.0606). Circadian Rhythm Signaling was strongly upregulated in the model group versus the DOP group. CLOCK was predicted to be strongly activated (z-score = 2.236) in upstream analysis and induced the downstream PER3. In addition, the relative mRNA expression levels of seven DEGs (CD2AP, ECM1, AQP4, PER3, CMTM4, ESRRG, and KCNJ15) from RT-PCR agreed with RNA-Seq data from MOD versus CON and MOD versus DOP groups. The gene and protein expression levels of PER3 and AQP4 were significantly downregulated in the PLGC model and significantly increased by DOP treatment (9.6 g/kg). Conclusions These findings not only showed DOP inhibits PLGC development by upregulating the PER3 and AQP4 gene and protein expression but also suggested that its mechanism of action involved modulating the Circadian Rhythm Signaling pathway.

Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:682713. [PMID: 34594214 PMCID: PMC8476751 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.682713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 07/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Seeking novel and effective therapies for gastric precancerous lesions (GPL) is crucial to reducing the incidence of gastric cancer. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) is a major ginsenoside in ginseng and has been proved to possess multiple bioactivities. However, whether GRb1 could protect against GPL and the underlying mechanisms have not been explored. Methods: We evaluated the effects of GRb1 on gastric precancerous lesions in rats on macroscopic, microscopic and ultramicroscopic levels. Then, an antibody array was employed to screen differential expression proteins (DEPs). Validation for the targeting DEP and investigation for the possible mechanism was conducted using immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, TUNEL apoptosis assay, immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Results: GRb1 was found to reverse intestinal metaplasia and a portion of dysplasia in the MNNG-induced GPL rats. The antibody array assay revealed seven DEPs in GPL rats as compared to control rats (5 DEPs were up-regulated, while two DEPs were down-regulated). Among the DEPs, β-catenin, beta-NGF and FSTL1 were significantly down-regulated after GRb1 administration. Our validation results revealed that enhanced protein expression and nuclear translocation of β-catenin were present in animal GPL samples. In addition, analysis of human gastric specimens demonstrated that β-catenin up-regulation and nuclear translocation were significantly associated with advanced GPL pathology. GRb1 intervention not only decreased protein expression and nuclear translocation of β-catenin, but interfered with β-catenin/TCF4 interaction. Along with this, declined transcriptional and protein expression levels of downstream target genes including c-myc, cyclin D1 and Birc5 were observed in GRb1-treated GPL rats. Conclusion: GRb1 is capable of preventing the occurrence and progression of GPL, which might be contributed by diminishing protein expression and nuclear translocation of β-catenin and interfering with β-catenin/TCF4 interaction.

Construction and Validation of a Novel Prognostic Signature for Intestinal Type of Gastric Cancer. DISEASE MARKERS 2021; 2021:5567392. [PMID: 34422135 PMCID: PMC8376432 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5567392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background Intestinal type of gastric cancer (IGC) is the largest subtype of gastric cancer (GC) by Lauren classification. The purpose of this present study was to construct a prognostic signature for IGC patients, based on the high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and IGC tissues, to improve and enhance the prognostic accuracy. Methods The microarray datasets and associated clinical characteristics of HGD and IGC were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Based on the differential expression analysis between HGD and IGC, the prognostic-related differential expression genes (DEGs) were identified in a training set by univariate COX regression analysis. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to construct an optimal prognostic signature. The enrichment analysis was performed by using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA). The performance of the nomogram was assessed by the calibration curve and concordance index (C-index). The results were validated by using a testing set. Results We identified 35 prognostic-related DGEs in the training set. The nine-gene signature was established by LASSO analysis. The nine-gene signature was an independent risk factor in both the training and testing sets. The areas under the curve (AUC) values of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were 0.733 and 0.700 for the training and testing sets, respectively. In GSEA analysis, the gene expression in high-risk group was enriched in hedgehog signaling, epithelial mesenchymal transition, and angiogenesis. The nomogram for IGC showed good performance with C-index of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.76-0.86) and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.63-0.77) in the training and testing sets, respectively. Conclusion We identified and verified a nine-gene signature for the prognostic prediction of IGC patients, which might identify subgroups of IGC patients and select more suitable therapeutic options.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is one kind of gastric cancer with a high incidence rate and mortality. It is essential to study the etiology of GAC and provide theoretical guidance for the prevention and treatment of GAC. Bioinformatics was used via differential expression analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, gene set enrichment analysis, and a training support vector machine (SVM) model to construct a TSIX/mir-320a/Rad51 network as the research index of GAC disease. On the basis of CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology, the present study utilizes the Cation lipid-assisted PEG-6-PLGA polymer nanoparticle (CLAN) drug carrier system to prepare the target knock-out TSIX drug with CRISPR/CaS9 nucleic acid. Knocking down lncRNA TSIX restored the suppression role of miR-320a on Rad51 and inhibited the Rad51 expression. Simultaneously, this ceRNA network activated the ATF6 signaling pathway after endoplasmic reticulum stress to promote GAC cells' apoptosis and inhibit the disease. TSIX/miR-320a/Rad51 network may be a potential biological target of GAC disease and provides a new strategy for treating GAC disease.
