Value of Multislice Spiral CT in Differential Diagnosis of Thick-Wall Gallbladder Carcinoma and Chronic Cholecystitis. CONTRAST MEDIA & MOLECULAR IMAGING 2022; 2022:5459779. [PMID: 35601565 PMCID: PMC9106503 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5459779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
To summarize the value of multislice spiral CT (MSCT) in the differential diagnosis of thick-wall gallbladder carcinoma (TWGC) and chronic cholecystitis (CC), the clinical data of 36 patients with TWGC and 60 patients with chronic cholecystitis who were treated in our hospital from January 2017 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the CT image features and diagnostic accuracy of the patients were summarized. Compared with the CC group, the proportions of disruption of gallbladder mucosa line, blurred gallbladder outline, high obstruction of biliary tract, lymphomegaly, adjacent invasion, peritoneal effusion, wall nodules, and the gallbladder wall thickness in the TWGC group were higher, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Thirty-four patients with TWGC and 62 patients with chronic cholecystitis were diagnosed by MSCT. The sensitivity and specificity of MSCT in diagnosing TWGC were 86.11% and 95.00%, respectively. The positive likelihood ratio was 17.222 and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.1462. The positive prediction rate was 91.18%, the negative prediction rate was 91.94%, and the correct rate was 91.67%. MSCT can show the characteristic difference between TWGC and chronic cholecystitis, which can be used for differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) in the colon and small bowel is a very rare finding. We report a case of HGM in the rectum of an 8-year-old child with a history of eosinophilic esophagitis after having a colonoscopy to evaluate for inflammatory bowel disease. The colonoscopy was normal except for rectal tissue erythema and edema. Inflammatory bowel disease has been reported in some cases of children with eosinophilic changes of the esophagus. The child had intermittent rectal bleeding thought to be due to constipation. Interestingly, when the patient was placed on a proton pump inhibitor for the treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis, the rectal bleeding decreased. After our patient ceased proton pump inhibitor therapy, he experienced a large amount of rectal bleeding. Histological findings revealed HGM in the colon/rectum. An extensive review of the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment is discussed.

Abstract
Background Triple gallbladder is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary tract that can be associated with heterotopic tissue. Gallbladder triplication results from the failure of rudimentary bile ducts to regress during embryological development, and can be difficult to distinguish from Todani type II choledochal cysts and biliary duplication cysts. Case presentation A 2-year-old patient presented to our institution with intermittent abdominal pain for 1 year. She had elevated transaminases with imaging concerning for a choledochal cyst. After assessment with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, she was diagnosed with a gallbladder multiplication and a common bile duct stricture. She underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which confirmed the diagnosis of triple gallbladder. One of the three gallbladders demonstrated heterotopic gastric mucosa on final pathology, including at the cystic duct margin. Follow up testing with a technetium 99 m scan demonstrated a subtle focus of increased activity in the right upper abdomen at the expected location of the common bile duct, concerning for the presence of residual gastric mucosa. The patient remains well without abdominal pain. Conclusions We describe the first case of heterotopic gastric mucosa in a triple gallbladder in a young patient presenting with chronic abdominal pain. We also demonstrate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in young children with triple gallbladder. Finally, we propose an interdisciplinary approach to the management of common bile duct strictures in the setting of ectopic acid secretion, involving a combination of medical management, endoscopic intervention, and possible salvage laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Abstract
The application value of image mosaic algorithm (IMA) based CT imaging technology in the analysis of pathological characteristics of gastric polyp (GP) patients was explored in this work. 588 cases of GP patients in the hospital were selected as the research objects, and CT images based on IMA were adopted for examination. The patient's basic information, image performance, and gastroscopy results were recorded. The results showed that the absolute mean bright error (AMBE) index and information entropy of the IMA are 0.0625 and 7.0385, respectively. The clinical symptoms of patients were mostly abdominal pain (21.4%), abdominal distension (15.6%), and sour regurgitation (17.8%). The common size of GP was no more than 0.5 cm, and the common type was Yamada type II. There were notable differences between single and multiple GPs of different pathological types (P < 0.05). Proliferative polyps were mostly found in the stomach and antrum, while fundus gland polyps were mostly in the stomach and fundus. There was significant difference between the growth location of the hyperplastic polyp and basal gland polyp (P < 0.05). In summary, the CT images of IMA proposed in this paper can not only realize image splicing effectively but also were superior to the traditional SIFT method in the quality of splicing image and were conducive to the analysis of the pathological characteristics of GP patients, which had significant clinical promotion value.

Pretreatment with Lactobacillus fermentum XY18 Relieves Gastric Injury Induced by HCl/Ethanol in Mice via Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms. DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2021; 14:5721-5734. [PMID: 33408461 PMCID: PMC7779313 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s280429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Aim Lactobacillus fermentum XY18 (LF-XY18) is a bacterial strain with satisfactory antioxidant properties in vitro that we previously isolated from Xinjiang yogurt. This article will explore the preventive effect of LF-XY18 on acute gastric injury and provide the basis for the innovative development and application of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Methods Kunming mice underwent gastric injury induced by hydrochloric acid and ethanol. LF-XY18 isolated from yogurt in Xinyuan County in the Yili region of Xinjiang was subsequently administered intragastrically to mice for 2 weeks to explore the mechanism of LF-XY18 in preventing gastric injury via its antioxidant effects. Results There was decreased gastric juice volume, gastric injury area, and formation of gastric mucosal lesions in the LF-XY18 mice as compared to those in the control mice, while LF-XY18 prevented the decrease in the gastric juice pH value in mice. Compared with the gastric injury model group mice, LF-XY18 reduced the serum levels of motilin, substance P, interleukin-6, interleukin-12, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interferon-γ but increased the serum levels of somatostatin and vasoactive intestinal peptide. The activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione, and nitric oxide were increased in the gastric tissue of the LF-XY18 mice compared with the control mice, but malondialdehyde activity was decreased in the LF-XY18 mice. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis illustrated that in the gastric tissue of LF-XY18 mice, the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of occludin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF receptor, vascular EGF, inhibitor kappa-B-α, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, endothelial nitric oxide synthase, cuprozinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase, and catalase was stronger than that in the control mice, but the mRNA expression of activated B cells (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2 was weaker than in the control mice. Conclusion These results indicate that LF-XY18 has a potential role in the prevention of gastric injury through antioxidant effects, and a high concentration (1.0 × 109 CFU/kg b.w.) of LF-XY18 has a stronger anti-gastric injury effect than a low concentration (1.0 × 108 CFU/kg b.w.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative differentiation between neoplastic and nonneoplastic gallbladder polyps, and the subsequent indication for cholecystectomy remains a clinical dilemma. The current 1 cm size threshold for neoplasia is unspecific. The aim of this study was to improve diagnostic work-up for gallbladder polyps using sonographic and MRI characteristics of neoplastic and nonneoplastic polyps. METHODS A prospective, exploratory study including patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallbladder polyp(s) was conducted. Patients underwent targeted transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) and MRI. Outcomes were sensitivity and specificity for polyp diagnosis, and the radiological characteristics of neoplastic and nonneoplastic polyp types. Histopathology after cholecystectomy was used as reference standard. RESULTS Histopathology demonstrated gallbladder polyps in 20/27 patients (74%): 14 cholesterol polyps, three adenomyomatosis, two adenomas and one gastric heterotopia. Sensitivity of polyp identification were 72% (routine TAUS) and 86% (targeted TAUS and MRI). Both adenomas were identified as neoplastic on targeted TAUS and MRI. Sonographic presentation as multiple, pedunculated polyps, either heterogeneous or with hyperechoic foci, or as single polyps containing cysts were limited to nonneoplastic polyps. On MRI hyperintense polyps on T1-weighted image were cholesterol polyps. An adenoma with high-grade dysplasia showed foci of decreased ADC values. We propose a checklist for polyp evaluation by targeted TAUS and a flowchart for radiological work-up of gallbladder polyps. CONCLUSIONS The presented checklist and flowchart could aid diagnostic work-up for gallbladder polyps compared to current routine ultrasound, by elimination of nonneoplastic polyps and ultimately improve treatment decision for patients with gallbladder polyps.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to explore the preventive and treatment effects of Hunan insect tea polyphenols (HITPs) on gastric injury in mice induced by HCl/ethanol and to investigate their molecular mechanisms of action. Both HITPs and ranitidine inhibited the formation and further deterioration of gastric mucosal lesions, reduced the secretion of gastric juice, and raised gastric juice pH compared to the control. The HITPs-H treated group had lower serum levels of motilin, substance P, and endothelin than the control group, but they had higher serum levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide and somatostatin. Mice treated with HITPs had lower serum levels of cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interferon-γ than the control group. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were higher in the gastric tissues of HITP-treated mice, but the malondialdehyde content was lower. Quantitative PCR analysis indicated that the mRNA expression of occludin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), EGF receptor (EGFR), vascular EGF (VEGF), inhibitor kappaB-α, cuprozinc-superoxide dismutase, manganese-superoxide dismutase, GSH-Px, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, and endothelial NOS increased significantly in the gastric tissues of HITP-treated mice. However, the activated B cell, inducible NOS, cyclooxygenase-2, TNF-α, IL-1 beta, and IL-6 mRNA expression levels in the HITPs group were lower than those in the control group. The protective effect of a high concentration (200 mg per kg bw) of HITPs on gastric injury induced by HCl/ethanol was stronger than that of a low concentration (100 mg per kg bw) of HITPs. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed that the HITPs contained cryptochlorogenic acid, (-)-epicatechin gallate, and isochlorogenic acid C. Taken together, our findings indicate that the HITPs played a role in the prevention of gastric damage. The antioxidant effect of the HITPs contributed to their potential value in the prevention and treatment of gastric injury. HITPs have broad prospects as biologically active substances for food development.

Abstract
It is universally known and accepted that the development of a certain type of tissue outside its usual location, like in the gastrointestinal tract, can occur. This is a relatively common situation in the upper region of the gastrointestinal tract. However, the development of gastric mucosa in the gallbladder is a rare find. The following is the case of a 22-year-old male with an 18 mm gallbladder polyp, who electively underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, having been diagnosed at a histopathological level with heterotopic gastric mucosa in the gallbladder. This brief article also aims to provide a reflection on the possible evolution of neoplasms from this histological change, based on the doubts raised in literature.

Abstract
Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) is defined as the presence of gastric mucosa outside of the stomach, which is documented by histologic finding. HGM is typically a solitary lesion; however, in our Case Report, the patient presented with multilocus HGM, an uncommon form in which the small bowel is extensively involved. We report a unique case of multilocus HGM mimicking very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic inflammation, and stricturing in a newborn patient. Histologic findings from the ileocecal specimen revealed multiple ulcers surrounded by chronic inflammation. Subsequently, a Technetium-99m pertechnetate scan demonstrated an increased tracer uptake in the remaining ileum. This radiologic finding, in combination with the discovery of gastric mucosa within the remainder of resected ileal specimen, led to the diagnosis of HGM. Omeprazole was initiated, and the patient is now asymptomatic without further gastrointestinal bleeding. Increased awareness of this rare disease and performing a Technetium-99m pertechnetate early can correctly diagnose HGM and prevent disease complication.
