Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated a robust correlation between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Nonetheless, no systematic analysis or visualization of relevant publications has been conducted via bibliometrics. This research, centred on 616 publications obtainable through the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), employed CiteSpace software and VOSviewer software for correlation analyses of authors, journals, institutions, countries, keywords, and citations. The findings indicate that the Public Library of Science had the highest number of publications, while the United States, China, and South Korea were the most contributory nations. Recent years have seen the mechanisms linking Metabolic Syndrome with Colorectal Cancer, including diet, obesity, insulin resistance, and intestinal flora, remain a burgeoning research area. Furthermore, bariatric surgery appears to be a promising new area of study. This paper presents the initial bibliometric and visualization analysis of research literature concerning CRC and MetS which examines research trends and hotspots.

Lin YC, Ko HJ, Yu LY, Chen MJ, Wang HY, Shih SC, Liu CC, Kuo YC, Hu KC. Interaction of Colorectal Neoplasm Risk Factors and Association with Metabolic Health Status Focusing on Normal Waist-to-Hip Ratio in Adults. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:1617. [PMID: 38730569 PMCID: PMC11082970 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16091617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the interaction between colorectal adenoma risks among asymptomatic individuals in terms of metabolic health status and obesity, and examine the normal waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in adults with colorectal adenoma risk. METHODS A cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted at MacKay Memorial Hospital involving 16,996 participants who underwent bidirectional gastrointestinal endoscopy between 2013 and 2023. The study recorded important clinicopathological characteristics, including age, body mass index and WHR, Framingham Risk Score (FRS), blood glucose level, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that elevated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), increased FRS, positive H. pylori infection, and WHR ≥ 0.9 are independent risk factors for colorectal adenoma. In examining the interaction between FRS and WHR using multivariate logistic regression to evaluate adenoma risk, the OR for the interaction term was 0.95, indicating a decline in adenoma risk when considering the interaction between these two factors. Incorporating HbA1c into the analysis, evaluating the interaction between FRS and WHR still demonstrated a statistically significant impact on adenoma risk (OR 0.96, p < 0.001). Participants with WHR < 0.9, elevated FRS, positive H. pylori infection, and increased HbA1c levels were associated with a higher risk of colorectal adenoma formation. Remarkably, the increased risk of adenoma due to rising HbA1c levels was statistically significant only for those with a WHR < 0.9. CONCLUSIONS An increase in FRS and HbA1c or a positive H. pylori infection still warrants vigilance for colorectal adenoma risk when WHR is 0.9. These factors interacted with each other and were found to have a minimal decline in adenoma risk when considering the interaction between WHR and FRS.

Tamai R, Dawit L, Lee P, Simmons OL, Ding L, Yuan L. The Association of Metabolic Risk Factors with Advanced Adenomas in Hispanic Patients. Dig Dis Sci 2024; 69:1403-1410. [PMID: 38363522 PMCID: PMC11026227 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-024-08323-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been implicated as rising risk factors for the development of colorectal cancers. A rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity among Hispanic patients in the United States may present substantially increased risk for advanced colorectal neoplasia in this population. Currently, there is very little research in this area. AIMS We sought to identify metabolic risk factors for advanced adenomas (AA) in Hispanic Americans. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from the Los Angeles General (LAG) Medical Center of asymptomatic Hispanic patients above 45 years of age who underwent their first colonoscopies following a positive screening FBT. Patient demographics, metabolic characteristics, as well as colon polyp size and histology were recorded. Polyps were classified as adenomas or AA (including both high-risk adenomas and high-risk serrated polyps). Relative risk for AA was assessed by multivariate logistical regression analyses. RESULTS Of the 672 patients in our study, 41.4% were male, 67% had adenomas, and 16% had AA. The mean BMI was 31.2 kg/m2. The mean HDL-C was 49.5 mg/dL (1.28 mmol/L) and the mean triglyceride level was 151 mg/dL. 44.6% had diabetes and 64.1% had hypertension. When comparing patients with AA to patients with no adenoma, male sex, BMI > 34.9 kg/m2, and elevated fasting triglyceride levels were associated with an increased risk of AA. FIB-4 ≥1.45 was also associated with an increased risk of AA in males. There was no significant difference in the risk of AA with diabetes, hypertension, FIB-4 score, LDL-C level, and HDL-C level. CONCLUSIONS Hispanic patients with a positive FBT were observed to have a high incidence of AA. Class II obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2), elevated triglyceride levels were identified as risk factors among males in our study. Early interventions to address these modifiable risk factors in at-risk populations, such as multi-disciplinary weight management programs for the treatment of obesity and related co-morbidities, could potentially lead to risk reduction and CRC prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection and resection of colorectal polyps by routine colonoscopy screening can be effective in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and different types of colorectal polyps in the Chinese population. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on inpatients admitted to the Gastroenterology Department of our hospital from January to December 2019. Clinical data, and colonoscopy and pathology findings of the subjects were collected. Bivariate analysis was used to assess factors associated with colorectal polyps. Significant variables from the bivariate evaluation were included in a stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis to recognize independent predictors of neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas. RESULTS The proportion of patients with DM was significantly higher in patients with neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas than in patients without polyps. Age ≥ 50 years, male gender, and a first-degree relative with a history of CRC were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas, even in non-smokers. An independent risk factor analysis that did not include a family history of CRC showed that age, gender, and alcohol consumption were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas. DM was an independent risk factor for high-risk adenomas (OR = 2.902, 95% CI = 1.221-6.899; p = 0.016) after adjusting for age, gender, alcohol consumption, and body mass index. Thus, a history of DM significantly increases the risk of high-risk adenomas. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that patients with DM, age ≥ 50 years, male gender, alcohol consumption, and a first-degree relative with a history of CRC should undergo regular endoscopic screening and colonic polypectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoprevention of colorectal neoplasia with aspirin and statins is under-investigated in Black patients. Since Black patients suffer disproportionately from colon cancer incidence and mortality compared to other populations, we investigated the utility of aspirin and statin in reducing advanced adenomatous polyp (AAP) risk in Black patients. METHODS We carried out a retrospective cohort study of screening colonoscopies performed at a large urban academic center from 1/1/2011 through 12/31/2019. We analyzed self-identified Black patients with > 1 colonoscopy and no personal history of either inflammatory bowel disease or colon cancer syndromes. Our primary endpoint was first AAP development after index colonoscopy among Black patients taking both aspirin and a statin compared to those taking one or neither medication. We used multivariate logistic regression modeling to investigate our outcomes. RESULTS We found data on chemoprophylaxis use in 560 patients. The mean observation period between index colonoscopy and AAP identification was 4 years. AAP developed in 106/560 (19%) of our cohort. We found no difference in AAP risk among Black patients taking both chemoprevention medications compared to partial or no chemoprophylaxis (20% vs 18% respectively, p = 0.49). This finding remained after adjusting for age, body mass index, and tobacco use (odds ratio 1.04, 95% CI 0.65-1.67; p = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS Short-term aspirin-statin chemoprevention did not reduce the risk of AAP development in our cohort of Black patients. Larger and long-term prospective investigations are needed to investigate the utility of chemoprophylaxis in this population. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Medicine (Baltimore) 2021; 100:e26121. [PMID: 34087861 PMCID: PMC8183717 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000026121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
ABSTRACT This community-based study aimed to elucidate whether there is a gender difference in the effect of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its individual components on an elevated risk for incident colorectal adenoma.A prospective cohort study was conducted by enrolling 59,767 subjects aged 40 years or older between 2001 and 2009 in Keelung, Taiwan, to test this hypothesis, excluding those with a prior history of colorectal cancer and those with colorectal cancer diagnosed at the first screening. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess the effect of MetS in terms of a dichotomous classification, each individual component and the number of components for males and females.Colorectal adenoma was present in 2.7% (n = 652) of male participants and 1.1% (n = 403) of female participants. The prevalence rate of MetS was 26.7% and 23.3% for males and females, respectively. The effect of MetS on colorectal adenoma was statistically significant and similar for the 2 genders, with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 1.33 (95% CI: 1.13-1.58) in males and 1.33 (95% CI: 1.06-1.66) in females after adjustment for confounders. However, MetS led to higher risk of advanced colorectal adenoma in men than in women. Regarding the effect of each component of MetS on colorectal adenoma, abnormal waist circumference and hypertriglyceridemia led to an elevated risk of colorectal adenoma in both genders. A rising risk of colorectal adenoma among females was noted in those with a moderately higher level of glycemia (100-125 mg/dL, aHR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.12-1.85). Hypertriglyceridemia and high blood pressure were associated with an increased risk of advance colorectal adenoma in males.Both male and female subjects with MetS had a higher risk of colorectal adenoma. The contributions from individual components of MetS varied by gender. These findings suggest that the possible risk reduction of colorectal adenoma through metabolic syndrome-based lifestyle modifications may differ between genders.

Non-Obese MAFLD Is Associated with Colorectal Adenoma in Health Check Examinees: A Multicenter Retrospective Study. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22115462.

Abstract
Colorectal adenoma is linked to metabolic dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has a precise definition and three subtypes, including non-obese MAFLD. We aimed to investigate the impact of MAFLD on the prevalence of colorectal adenoma by comparing it to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in health check-up examinees. This is a multicenter retrospective study. We enrolled 124 consecutive health check-up examinees who underwent colonoscopy. NAFLD and MAFLD were present in 58 and 63 examinees, respectively. Colorectal adenoma was diagnosed by biopsy. The impact of the MAFLD definition on the prevalence of colorectal adenoma was investigated by logistic regression, decision-tree, and random forest analyses. In logistic regression analysis, MAFLD was identified as the only independent factor associated with the presence of colorectal adenoma (OR 3.191; 95% CI 1.494–7.070; p = 0.003). MAFLD was also identified as the most important classifier for the presence of colorectal adenoma in decision-tree and random forest analyses (29 variable importance value). Among the three subtypes of MAFLD, non-obese MAFLD was the sole independent factor associated with the presence of colorectal adenoma (OR 3.351; 95% CI 1.589–7.262; p ≤ 0.001). Non-obese MAFLD was also the most important classifier for the presence of colorectal adenoma in decision-tree and random forest analyses (31 variable importance value). MAFLD, particularly non-obese MAFLD, is the most important factor associated with the presence of colorectal adenoma rather than NAFLD. Colonoscopy examination should be considered in patients with MAFLD, especially those who are non-obese.

Abstract
Screening mammography is used worldwide for the early detection of breast cancer in women experiencing no symptoms. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Database System (BI-RADS) is used to report mammographic findings. However, little is known about the clinical characteristics of Asian women with BI-RADS category 0, and we aimed to explore such characteristics in the context of Taiwan. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data from a single tertiary medical center. We examined the association of blood test data and estrogen exposure–related medical histories with BI-RADS reports from screening mammography of 4280 women between 1 January 2010 and 31 July 2019. The data of 4280 participants were evaluated, and they were categorized into BI-RADS category 0 (n = 413; 9.6%) and 1–5 (n = 3867; 90.4%) subgroups. In a multivariate analysis, breast surgery history and premenopausal status had a positive relationship with a category 0 status, with respective risk increases of 64% and 34% (p = 0.010 and 0.013). Hormone contraceptive use for ≥5 years was a negative independent predictor of having a category 0 status. In conclusion, breast surgery history and premenopausal status significantly increased the likelihood of individuals having incomplete mammographic findings, even when they were older than 45 years. Identifying related factors before screening mammography is helpful for clinical physicians to arrange more proper and alternative examination and obtain a definite diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Thyroid nodules (TNs) and metabolic syndrome (MS) have been individually associated with colorectal polyps. However, the potential joint relationship between them in relation to colorectal polyps has not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to validate the association of TNs/MS and colorectal polyps/adenomas and to determine the risk of colonic polyps in patients with TNs/MS. Material/Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients undergoing routine health checks in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from July 2014 to August 2017. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for colorectal polyps/adenomas after adjusting for confounding factors. Then patients were divided into 4 groups according to whether they had TNs or MS. Relative excess risks of interaction, attributable proportion, and synergy index were used to determine the additive interaction of TNs and MS on colorectal polyps/adenomas. Results A total of 4514 eligible patients were included in this study. TNs and MS were confirmed to be independent risk factors for colorectal polyps/adenomas. Compared with the group of TNs(−)/MS(−), the odds ratios of TNs(+)/MS(+) in colorectal polyps (odds ratio [OR]: 3.031, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.262–4.062, P<0.05) or adenomas (OR: 2.894, 95% CI: 2.099–3.990, P<0.05) were significantly increased, and there was an interactive additive effect between TNs and MS. Conclusions TNs and MS have an associative and superimposing effect on the increased occurrence of colorectal adenomas. Colonoscopy screening should be advocated for patients with both of these diseases.

Association between dietary sugar intake and colorectal adenoma among cancer screening examinees in Japan. Cancer Sci 2020; 111:3862-3872. [PMID: 32741012 PMCID: PMC7540999 DOI: 10.1111/cas.14596] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2020] [Revised: 06/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Although intake of highly sugary foods is considered to be a potential risk factor for colorectal cancer through hyperinsulinemia, the association of sugar intake and colorectal adenoma, a precursor lesion to most colorectal cancer, is poorly understood, particularly in Asian populations. We undertook a cross‐sectional study in a Japanese population to investigate the association between dietary sugar intake and the prevalence of colorectal adenoma. Study subjects were selected from participants who underwent magnifying colonoscopy with dye spraying as part of a cancer screening program and who responded to a self‐administered questionnaire before the colonoscopy. A total of 738 cases with colorectal adenoma and 697 controls were enrolled. Dietary intakes of glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, lactose, and total sugars (sum of these six mono‐ or disaccharides) were calculated from a food frequency questionnaire, and divided into quartiles based on the distribution among controls. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of colorectal adenoma were estimated using unconditional logistic regression models, with adjustment for potential confounding factors. Total sugar intake was not significantly associated with the prevalence of colorectal adenoma (odds ratio for the highest intake group compared to reference group = 1.18; 95% confidence interval, 0.81‐1.73; P for trend = .34). Furthermore, no statistically significant positive associations were observed for any of the six mono‐ or disaccharides. Findings were similar on additional analyses by site, size, and number of adenomas. Our findings do not support an association between high sugar intake and increased odds ratios of colorectal adenoma.

Gastrointestinal Pathologies in Patients After Successful Renal Transplantation. Transplant Proc 2020; 52:2412-2416. [PMID: 32713818 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2020.02.121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation (KT) is the most desired and cost-effective modality of renal replacement therapy for patients with chronic kidney failure. KT protects the patient from complications that may develop during chronic dialysis. Unfortunately, evidence also suggests that KT patients are more prone to developing cancer than healthy persons. Many complications after renal transplantation can be prevented if they are detected early. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal pathologies in patients after KT. METHODS Adult patients after KT who are under the care of the Outpatient Department of Nephrology at the Medical University of Gdańsk, Poland, received alarm symptom questionnaires and referral for testing for the presence of fecal occult blood. Then, in 58 selected patients (36 men and 22 women), endoscopic examination was performed. Mean age was 57.34 ± 10.1 (range, 35-83) years. RESULTS Out of 940 patients after KT, resting under supervision of the Outpatient Department, 208 patients completed the questionnaire and 118 gave a stool sample for testing: 40 results were positive. After analyzing the questionnaires and stool results, 100 patients qualified for further investigation. The endoscopic examination had been performed so far in 58 patients and revealed gastritis and/or duodenitis in 49 patients, diverticular colon disease in 26, esophagitis in 8, colon polyps in 16, stomach polyps in 4, inflammatory bowel disease in 12, and cancers in 3. CONCLUSIONS The preliminary results indicate that patients after KT have significant risk of gastrointestinal pathologies and require detailed diagnostic endoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prediabetes is associated with a high risk of colon cancer, and abdominal obesity, which can result in the secretion of several obesity-related adipocytokines, is an independent influencing factor for colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects. However, the correlation between adipocytokine levels and colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects is unclear. This research explores the relationship between plasma adiponectin, visfatin, leptin, and resistin levels and the development of colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects. METHODS A total of 468 prediabetes subjects who underwent electronic colonoscopy examinations were enrolled in this study; there were 248 cases of colonic polyps and 220 cases without colonic mucosal lesions. Then, colonic polyps patients with prediabetes were subdivided into a single-polyp group, multiple-polyps group, low-risk polyps group, or high-risk polyps group. In addition, 108 subjects with normal glucose tolerance who were frequency matched with prediabetes subjects by sex and age were selected as the control group; 46 control subjects had polyps, and 62 control subjects were polyp-free. Plasma adiponectin, visfatin, leptin, and resistin levels were measured in all the subjects, and the related risk factors of colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects were analysed. RESULTS Plasma adiponectin levels were significantly lower in the polyps group than in the polyp-free group [normal glucose tolerance (9.8 ± 4.8 vs 13.3 ± 3.9) mg/L, P = 0.013; prediabetes (5.6 ± 3.7 vs 9.2 ± 4.4) mg/L, P = 0.007]. In prediabetes subjects, plasma adiponectin levels were decreased significantly in the multiple polyps group [(4.3 ± 2.6 vs 6.7 ± 3.9) mg/L, P = 0.031] and the high-risk polyps group [(3.7 ± 2.9 vs 7.4 ± 3.5) mg/L, P < 0.001] compared to their control groups. Plasma visfatin levels were higher in the polyps group and the multiple-polyps group than those in their control groups (P = 0.041 and 0.042, respectively), and no significant difference in plasma leptin and resistin levels was observed between these three pairs of groups (all P > 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lower levels of plasma adiponectin was a risk factor for colonic polyps, multiple colonic polyps, and high-risk colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects. CONCLUSIONS Plasma adiponectin levels are inversely associated with colonic polyps, multiple colonic polyps, and high-risk colonic polyps in prediabetes subjects. And adiponectin may be involved in the development of colon tumours in prediabetes subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) according to the number of metabolic syndrome (MetS) components. METHODS Using health checkup and insurance claims data of 6,365,409 subjects, the occurrence of CRC according to stage of MetS by sex was determined from the date of the health checkup in 2009 until December 31, 2018. RESULTS Cumulative incidence rates (CIR) of CRC in men and women was 3.9 and 2.8 per 1000 (p < 0.001), respectively. CIR of CRC for the normal, pre-MetS, and MetS groups in men was 2.6, 3.9, and 5.5 per 1000 (p < 0.001) and CIR in women was 2.1, 2.9, and 4.5 per 1000 (p < 0.001), respectively. Compared with the normal group, the hazard ratio (HR) of CRC for the pre-MetS group was 1.25 (95% CI 1.17-1.33) in men and 1.09 (95% CI 1.02-1.17) in women, and the HR of CRC for the MetS group was 1.54 (95% CI 1.43-1.65) in men and 1.39 (95% CI 1.26-1.53) in women after adjustment. CONCLUSIONS We found that MetS is a risk factor for CRC in this study. Therefore, the prevention and active management of MetS would contribute to the prevention of CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In developing countries, cancer incidence has progressively increased, becoming the second cause of mortality after cardiovascular diseases. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of malignant neoplastic disorders, especially pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. AIM The main aim of our study was to establish the prevalence of malignant neoplastic disorders in patients previously diagnosed with T2DM. Also, we have investigated the association between the components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the different types of diagnosed malignant neoplasms. METHODS We performed a retrospective, population-based cohort study of 1,027 patients with T2DM from the Center for Diabetes Treatment of the "Pius Brînzeu" Emergency Hospital in Timisoara, Romania. The patients were followed up every three or six months, depending on their antidiabetic treatment. The patients who developed malignant neoplasms were registered and referred to oncology centers. The potential risk factors for malignancies in patients with T2DM were evaluated using logistic regression adjusting for possible confounders. RESULTS The prevalence of malignant neoplastic disorders in our study group was 7.1%; more precisely, we found 2.2% colon neoplasm, 2.9% mammary neoplasm, 0.7% lymphomas, 0.6% pulmonary neoplasm, 0.3% pancreatic neoplasm, and 0.4% prostate neoplasm. The presence of malignant neoplastic disorders was associated in our cohort of patients with T2DM with higher cholesterol (237.71±47.82 vs 202.52±52.16 mg/dL; p=0.005) and triglycerides levels (215.91±52.41 vs 180.75±54.32 mg/dL; p<0.001), as well as higher body mass index (33.37±3.87 vs 28.42±3.56 kg/m2; p<0.001) and abdominal circumference (110.11±14.48 vs 98.12±15.73 cm; p<0.001). Also, we found that insulin-based treatment was an independent risk factor, the patients presenting ten times higher odds of developing malignant neoplastic disorders. CONCLUSION The prevalence of malignant neoplastic disorders in our study group was 7.1%. Also, the prevalence of malignant neoplastic disorders was higher in patients with T2DM and MetS as compared to the general population of T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Traditional serrated adenoma (TSA) is rare and known to have a malignant potential. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of TSA and compare the characteristics of synchronous conventional adenoma (AD) in patients with TSA with those of AD in patients with AD only. METHODS We reviewed medical records of 31,932 healthy subjects who underwent screening colonoscopy at a single hospital between 2012 and 2017. RESULTS TSA was observed in 116 patients (.4%). Among them, 47 patients (40.5%) had TSA only and 69 patients (59.5%) had synchronous AD. Multivariable analysis showed independent risk factors for TSA to include age ≥50 years (odds ratio [OR], 3.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.72-6.49; P < .001), hypertension (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.09-3.92; P = .026), and current smoking (OR, 2.58; 95% CI, 1.28-5.23; P = .008). There were significantly more ADs (2.5 ± 2.0 vs 1.8 ± 1.6, P = .009) and ADs were of larger size (6.7 ± 5.0 vs 5.3 ± 3.6 mm, P = .027) in TSA patients than in AD-only patients. Furthermore, advanced adenoma and high-risk adenoma were more frequently observed in TSA patients than in AD-only patients (24.2% vs 11.2%, P = .002; 43.5% vs 23.6%, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of TSA in healthy adults was .4%. Age ≥50 years, hypertension, and current smoking may be risk factors of TSA. Synchronous AD is often observed with TSA and may show more advanced features than those in AD-only patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The association of habitual behaviors with the prevalence of synchronous colorectal cancer (sCRC) is unknown. Here, we investigated whether these behaviors, which are known risk factors for colorectal polyps, may be related to sCRC risk. METHODS We enrolled 17,093 patients who underwent cancer treatment between January 1995 and December 2016 and examined the association of age, sex, familial history of hereditary colorectal cancer (CRC), and status of three common habitual behaviors (smoking and alcohol and coffee consumption) with the prevalence of sCRC. RESULTS Of the enrolled patients, 960 (5.6%) patients had sCRC. The independent risk factors for sCRC prevalence included advanced age, male sex, hereditary CRC, smoking, and daily alcohol consumption of more than one bottle (> 600 mL). Contrary to these factors, daily coffee consumption of more than one cup seemed to provide a protection from sCRC. In the Kaplan-Meier test, the significantly worse 5-year overall survival (OS) was noted in smokers with stage 0-III CRC. The effect of alcohol consumption on 5-year OS was significant in stages II and III. Compared with those without daily coffee consumption, patients with daily coffee consumption had significantly higher 5-year OS in stages I (93.0% vs. 86.4%), II (87.1% vs. 77.2%), III (71.5% vs. 61.9%), and IV (18.0% vs. 13.0%). CONCLUSIONS sCRC prevalence was significantly associated with habitual behaviors. Patients with smoking or with daily alcohol consumption of one bottle had higher sCRC prevalence than did those without these habits. Coffee consumption could be a protective factor for lowering sCRC risk.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) is an effective therapeutic tool for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). There is no available evidence on the efficacy and safety of PCSK9 inhibitors in non-cardiovascular diseases, particularly cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of PCSK9 inhibition on cancer endpoints in mice bearing colon carcinoma, using a nanoliposomal antiPCSK9 vaccine. MATERIAL AND METHODS The prepared nanoliposomal antiPCSK9 vaccine was subcutaneously inoculated in BALB/c mice four times with a biweekly interval. Two weeks after the last booster, the vaccinated and unvaccinated mice were subcutaneously inoculated with CT26 colon cancer cells into the right flank. After the tumor mass became palpable, the mice were randomly divided into three groups: (1) PBS (untreated control), (2) vaccine group, and (3) pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD; positive control) group. Body weight, tumor size and survival of mice were monitored for 50 days. RESULTS The nanoliposomal antiPCSK9 vaccine could efficiently provoke specific antibodies against PCSK9 in BALB/c mice and thereby reduced the plasma level and function of PCSK9. Tumor volume was 77% and 87.7% lower (p < 0.0001) in the vaccinated mice when compared with Doxil (liposomal doxorubicin) and control mice, respectively. Tumor size analysis showed that time to reach the endpoint of the vaccine group (47 ±11 days) was slightly but not significantly higher than PLD (46 ±2.6 days) and the control (43 ±12 days) groups. The tumor growth rates in the vaccine and PLD groups were reduced by 9.3% and 7.3, respectively, when compared with the control group. The vaccinated mice survived slightly but not significantly longer than PLD and the control mice. The median survival of the vaccine, PLD and control groups were 51, 45, and 41 days, respectively. The vaccinated mice's life was prolonged by 24.4% as compared with the control mice, while it was increased by 9.8% in the PLD group. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed that PCSK9 inhibition not only exerted no harmful effects but also could moderately inhibit tumor growth, and improve lifespan and survival in mice bearing colon cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To elucidate the bidirectional temporal relationship between elevated faecal haemoglobin (f-Hb) concentration and metabolic syndrome (MetS). DESIGN A longitudinal cohort study was conducted by utilising data on community-based periodical screening for colorectal cancer with faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and health check-up for MetS. SETTING Population-based organised integrated service screening in Keelung city, Taiwan. PARTICIPANTS We enrolled a total of 62,293 community residents aged 40-79 years. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Bidirectional outcomes of FIT-positive and MetS were measured. RESULTS The presence of MetS at baseline led to a statistically significant 31% elevated risk of being incident FIT-positive (adjusted HR, (aHR)=1.31, 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.51) whereas the effect of those with FIT-positive at baseline on incident MetS was not statistically significant (aHR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.25) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Such an effect was particularly noted for three individual components (abnormal waist circumference, higher fasting plasma glucose and lower high-density lipoprotein). CONCLUSIONS Our finding on the presence of MetS before FIT-positive based on bidirectional relationship assessment suggests the control of MetS may contribute to reducing the risk of colorectal neoplasia through the early surveillance of f-Hb. However, such a temporal epidemiological finding still needs to be verified by using other external data.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Colorectal polyps and thyroid nodules are common disorders linked to hyperinsulinemia and metabolic syndrome (Mets). The direct association between these two diseases is not clear. We aimed to analyze the prevalence of thyroid nodules in subjects with and without colorectal polyps. The secondary aim was to establish the prevalence of Mets and its parameters in both disorders and to determine if insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are common underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and five subjects with colorectal polyps (71 males, 34 females) and 68 controls (28 males, 40 females) were enrolled. The parameters of Mets together with TSH, insulin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and homeostasis model for assessment of insulin resistance levels were calculated. We performed thyroid ultrasonography in all participants. RESULTS The prevalence of Mets was similar in the colorectal polyp and control groups (37.1 vs. 37.3%, p = 0.982). The prevalence of Mets was nonsignificantly higher in subjects with a documented thyroid nodule compared to subjects without a thyroid nodule (43.0 vs. 32.6%, p = 0.205). The prevalence of thyroid nodules in subjects with colorectal polyps was significantly higher than in subjects without polyps (52.9 vs. 35.3%, p = 0.017). Compared to subjects with no colorectal polyps, we established a significant increase in the odds of having thyroid nodules (OR 2.05; 95% CI: 1.097-3.860, p = 0.017). The presence of colorectal polyps and age in the adjusted model were established to be independent risk factors for having thyroid nodules (p = 0.025 and p = 0.007, respectively). CONCLUSION These results may support the presence of other common mechanisms in the development of these two pathologies other than insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been associated with colorectal adenomas and cancer. However, MetS definitions have changed over time, leading to a heterogeneity of patients included in previous studies and a substantial inextensibility of observations across time or eastern and western populations. Our aim was to evaluate the association of 'harmonized' criteria-defined MetS and its individual components with colorectal neoplasia and cancer in a western population. METHODS In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, we prospectively evaluated consecutive outpatients who underwent open-access colonoscopy over a 3-month period. MetS was diagnosed according to the 2009 'harmonized' criteria. RESULTS Out of 5707 patients enrolled, we found 213 cancers (3.7%), 1614 polyps (28.3%), 240 nonpolypoid lesions (4.2%), 95 laterally spreading tumors (1.6%). Polyps presented histological low-grade dysplasia in 72.9% of samples, while in 9.8%, high-grade dysplasia or in situ carcinoma was present; dysplasia rates for nonpolypoid lesions were 66.2% (low-grade) and 2.9% (high-grade/in situ carcinoma), while for laterally spreading tumors, 29.6% and 37%, respectively. Overall, MetS prevalence was 41.6%. MetS correlated with both adenomas [odds ratio (OR): 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.54-2.00] and cancer (OR: 1.92, 95% CI 1.42-2.58). MetS was the only risk factor for such colonic lesions in subjects younger than 50 years. For all colonic neoplasia, we found MetS and not its individual components to be significantly associated. CONCLUSIONS MetS is risk factor for cancer and adenoma in Whites, especially when younger than 50 years. MetS patients might be considered as a high-risk population also in colorectal cancer screening programs.

Abstract
To investigate sex differences in the associations among metabolic syndrome, obesity, adipose tissue-related biomarkers, and colorectal adenomatous polyps, a cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted on 489 consecutive individuals who underwent their first colonoscopy at 3 hospitals. Plasma concentrations of adiponectin and leptin, as well as homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance were also evaluated. The presence and number of adenomatous polyps, including advanced adenoma, were higher in men than in women. Metabolic syndrome was a risk factor for adenomatous polyps in both sexes. Large waist circumference was an independent risk factor for adenomatous polyps in men, and high BMI and large waist circumference were risk factors for adenomatous polyps in women. Interestingly, low BMI was associated with large adenomatous polyps (≥10 mm) and advanced adenoma, and waist-hip ratio was involved in proximal adenomatous polyp development only in women. In contrast, the highest quartile of leptin concentration had a 3.67-fold increased adenomatous polyp risk compared with the lowest quartile only in men. These results indicate that regarding colorectal pathogenesis, sex differences were identified in obesity but not in metabolic syndrome. Visceral obesity and a high serum leptin level may be risk factors for colorectal adenomatous polyp development in Japanese men.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) play a carcinogenic role in variety of cancers and influence the prognosis of cancer patients both systemically and hormonally. Methods: The data of clinicopathologic features and MetS of 808 gastric cancer patients and 1,146 randomly healthy controls were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Higher TG level, lower HDL-C level and higher hypertension frequency were observed in all gastric cancer patients when compared with healthy controls. While, gastric cancer patients had greater waist circumference only in females. Among three definitions of MetS, the MetS identified by the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS) was associated with the most significant increasing risk of gastric cancer. Comparing all gastric cancer patients with healthy controls, OR of gastric cancer was enhanced by various individual components of the MetS, including higher TG level, lower HDL-C level, hypertension and diabetes; In male subgroup, OR of gastric cancer was enhanced by higher BMI, hypertension and diabetes; In females, OR of gastric cancer was enhanced by lower HDL-C, hypertension and diabetes. MetS was associated with poor differentiated carcinoma, more advanced pathological T, N stage and TNM stage of gastric cancer. Conclusion: The presence of MetS and its components were increased in gastric cancer, especially in gastric cancer patients with poor differentiation and advanced stage, which implies that metabolic disorder may play an important role in the development of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most cases of colorectal cancer develop via an adenoma to carcinoma sequence. Gallbladder polyps share some risk factors with colorectal polyps. Little is known about the relationship between gallbladder diseases and different status of colorectal polyps by gender. This study was to investigate the association of gallbladder stones and polyps with colorectal adenomas by gender in a Taiwanese population. METHODS A total of 7066 eligible subjects who underwent a total colonoscopy as a part of health check-up between January 2001 and August 2009 were recruited. Colonoscopic findings were classified into polyp-free, non-neoplastic polyps and colorectal adenomas. Gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps were diagnosed based on ultrasonographic findings. RESULTS There was a significant difference in the status of colon polyps between subjects with and without gallbladder polyps. However, the status of colon polyps was not significantly different between subjects with or without gallbladder stones. After adjusting obesity, fasting plasma glucose, and other variables, there was a positive relationship between gallbladder polyps and colorectal adenomas (odds ratio [OR]: 1.396, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.115-1.747) but not non-neoplastic polyps in all subjects. In men, gallbladder polyps (OR: 1.560, 95% CI: 1.204-2.019) and gallbladder stones (OR: 1.465, 95% CI 1.081-1.984) were positively associated with colorectal adenomas. In women, neither gallbladder polyps nor gallbladder stones were significantly related to colon polyps. CONCLUSIONS Both gallbladder polyps and gallbladder stones were associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenomas in men but not in women. Gender difference was significant for the association between gallbladder lesions and colorectal polyps.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing medical and public health problem worldwide. Many digestive diseases are related to obesity. In this article, the current state of our knowledge of obesity-related digestive diseases, their pathogenesis, and the medical and metabolic consequences of weight reduction are discussed. Obesity-related digestive diseases include gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal cancer, colon polyp and cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis C-related disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, gallstone, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer. Although obesity-related esophageal diseases are associated with altered mechanical and humoral factors, other obesity-related digestive diseases seem to be associated with obesity-induced altered circulating levels of adipocytokines and insulin resistance. The relationship between functional gastrointestinal disease and obesity has been debated. This review provides a comprehensive evaluation of the obesity-related digestive diseases, including pathophysiology, obesity-related risk, and medical and metabolic effects of weight reduction in obese subjects.

Abstract
Background Colorectal adenomas are known as precursors for the majority of colorectal carcinomas. While weight gain during adulthood has been identified as a risk factor for colorectal cancer, the association is less clear for colorectal adenomas. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to quantify the evidence on this association. Methods We searched Medline up to September 2016 to identify observational (prospective, cross-sectional and retrospective) studies on weight gain during adulthood and colorectal adenoma occurrence and recurrence. We conducted meta-analysis on high weight gain versus stable weight, linear and non-linear dose-response meta-analyses to analyze the association. Summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were estimated using a random effects model. Results For colorectal adenoma occurrence, the summary OR was 1.39 (95% CI: 1.17-1.65; I2: 43%, N = 9 studies, cases = 5507) comparing high (midpoint: 17.4 kg) versus stable weight gain during adulthood and with each 5 kg weight gain the odds increased by 7% (2%-11%; I2: 65%, N = 7 studies). Although there was indication of non-linearity (Pnon-linearity < 0.001) there was an increased odds of colorectal adenoma throughout the whole range of weight gain. Three studies were identified investigating the association between weight gain and colorectal adenoma recurrence and data were limited to draw firm conclusions. Conclusions Even a small amount of adult weight gain was related to a higher odds of colorectal adenoma occurrence. Our findings add to the benefits of weight control in adulthood regarding colorectal adenoma occurrence, which might be relevant for early prevention of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Korea, the incidence of colorectal cancer has increased and obesity is on a rising trend because of a Westernized lifestyle in men. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between metabolic health status, as well as BMI, and the incidence of colorectal cancer. DESIGN This was a prospective cohort study. SETTINGS The study was conducted with the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. PATIENTS A total of 408,931 Korean adults without cancer at baseline were followed up until 2013 (mean follow-up, 9 y). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data at baseline were collected and categorized. The presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia was defined using the criteria of previous studies. The incidence of colorectal cancer was also defined according to the International Classification of Disease, 10 Revision, codes and the claim data on endoscopy with biopsy. RESULTS During the follow-up, 5108 new cases of colorectal cancer occurred. Being underweight (<18.5 kg/m) reduced the risk for colorectal cancer among women (adjusted HR = 0.646 (95% CI, 0.484-0.863)), whereas high BMI significantly increased the risk in men and in the elderly. Obesity (≥25 kg/m), diabetes mellitus, and hypertension were identified as risk factors for colorectal cancer in men but not for women. Although metabolically unhealthy nonobese men had a higher risk for colorectal cancer than metabolically healthy nonobese men (adjusted HR = 1.114 (95% CI, 1.004-1.236)), the risk was lower than that in the obese men. LIMITATIONS The study population consisted of people who underwent health examinations, thus there could be selection bias. CONCLUSIONS In Korean adults, obesity contributes to the incidence of colorectal cancer with a sex difference. Nonobese but metabolically unhealthy men are considered to be a high-risk group for colorectal cancer, but obesity itself is more important in colorectal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the clinical utility of biological age (BA) measurement in screening colonoscopy for the detection of colorectal adenomas in the average-risk population.
METHODS A consecutive series of asymptomatic subjects aged ≥ 30 years who underwent colonoscopy in routine check-ups were enrolled. Colorectal adenoma was classified according to size, number, and location. BAs were calculated using the MEDIAGETM Biological Age Measurement System.
RESULTS A total of 2696 subjects were investigated (1876 men and 820 women). The mean chronological age (CA) was 46.0 years and the mean BA was 44.7 years. Metabolic syndrome (MS) was diagnosed in 218 subjects (8.1%). The prevalence of overall colorectal adenoma was 23.1% (622/2,696). When the subjects were divided into four groups based on BA (≤ 39 years; 40-49 years; 50-59 years; ≥ 60 years), the prevalence of colorectal adenoma was increased as BA increased (P < 0.001). Colorectal adenoma located in the proximal colon was more prevalent in the BA-dominant group (BA-CA ≥ 5 years) than the CA-dominant group (CA-BA ≥ 5 years) (P = 0.034). When the subjects were categorized into four groups according to MS and age gap between BA and CA, the incidence of colorectal adenoma increased with MS and BA-dominance (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Measurement of BA may help to assess the risk of colorectal adenoma in screening colonoscopy.

Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the prognostic significance of metabolic syndrome (MS) in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) using various MS criteria in Novosibirsk population.
Materials and Methods. The study was designed as nested case-control. Baseline population cohort (9360 men, women aged 4569) was examined in the HAPIEE project and followed-up during 11 years. The cases included all subjects, who had CRC during 11-year follow-up according to the Register of Cancer (n=99, M-52, M-47). The matched control group (2/1) was selected from HAPIEE cohort (n=198, m-104, w-94). The prospective study of CRC was supported by RSF. MS criteria were determined in accordance to VNOK (2009), IDF (2005), NCEP ATP III (2001). Statistical package SPSS v.11.0 was used. Logistic regression was used to estimate the association between MS and risk of CRC.
Results. Women with glucose levels 6.1 mmol/l had 3 times higher 11-year risk of CRC then those with glucose 6.1 mmol/l (OR=3.11;
95%CI:1.237.87, VNOK, 2009; OR=3.20; 95%CI:1.278.08, NCEP ATP III, 2001). Blood pressure (BP) 130/85 mmHg was associated with decreased risk of CRC in women and in both sexes, but the relationship became insignificant after controlling for antihypertensive treatment. Other components of the MS were not significantly associated with CRC risk.
Conclusions. In studied sample the 11-year risk of developing CRC was significantly increased in women with elevated glucose levels. The negative relationship between elevated BP and the risk of CRC in women and both sexes became insignificant when adjusted for antihypertensive treatment; this finding requires further exploration.

Abstract
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for colorectal neoplasia. Yet, the associations of both metabolic and obesity status with metachronous colorectal neoplasia remain unclear. We conducted a cohort study of 9,331 adults who underwent screening colonoscopy and surveillance colonoscopy. Participants were classified as metabolically healthy if they had no metabolic syndrome component. Participants were categorized into four groups according to body mass index and metabolic status: metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO; n = 2,745), metabolically abnormal non-obese (MANO; n = 3,267), metabolically healthy obese (MHO; n = 707), and metabolically abnormal obese (MAO; n = 2,612). MAO individuals [n = 159 advanced colorectal neoplasia (AN) cases, 6.1%] and MANO individuals (n = 167 AN cases, 5.1%) had a higher incidence of AN compared with MHNO individuals (n = 79 AN cases, 2.9%). In a multivariable model, the risk of metachronous AN was higher in MANO (hazard ratio [HR] 1.43, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12–1.84) and MAO (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.18–1.96) than in MHNO. In contrast, the risk of metachronous AN was not significantly elevated in MHO. In subgroup analyses, with or without adenoma at baseline, MAO was a risk group for metachronous AN, and MHO was not. Our findings suggest that metabolic unhealthiness is a significant predictor for metachronous AN.

Abstract
Colon cancer is a multifactorial disease associated with a variety of lifestyle factors. Alterations in the gut microbiota and the intestinal metabolome are noted during colon carcinogenesis, implicating them as critical contributors or results of the disease process. Diet is a known determinant of health, and as a modifier of the gut microbiota and its metabolism, a critical element in maintenance of intestinal health. This review summarizes recent evidence demonstrating the role and responses of the intestinal microbiota during colon tumorigenesis and the ability of dietary bioactive compounds and probiotics to impact colon health from the intestinal lumen to the epithelium and systemically. We first describe changes to the intestinal microbiome, metabolome, and epithelium associated with colon carcinogenesis. This is followed by a discussion of recent evidence indicating how specific classes of dietary bioactives, prebiotics, or probiotics affect colon carcinogenesis. Lastly, we briefly address the prospects of using multiple 'omics' techniques to integrate the effects of diet, host, and microbiota on colon tumorigenesis with the goal of more fully appreciating the interconnectedness of these systems and thus, how these approaches can be used to advance personalized nutrition strategies and nutrition research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The beneficial effect of kidney transplantation in patients requiring continuous renal replacement therapy owing to chronic kidney disease is well known and accepted. Kidney transplantation protects the patient from complications that may develop during chronic dialysis. Unfortunately, there is also evidence that kidney transplant patients are more prone to developing cancer than healthy persons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal pathologies in patients after kidney transplantation. METHODS Adult patients after kidney transplantation, who are under the care of the Outpatient Department of Nephrology in Gdańsk, received alarm symptom questionnaires and referral for testing for the presence of fecal occult blood. Then, in 45 selected patients (29 men and 16 women) endoscopic examination was performed. Mean age was 57.6 ± 10.1 (range, 35-83) years. RESULTS Out of ∼940 patients after kidney transplantation, resting under supervision of outpatient department, 181 patients completed the questionnaire and 100 gave a stool sample for testing: 32 results were positive. After analyzing the questionnaires and stool results, 88 patients were qualified for further investigation. The endoscopic examination had been performed so far in 45 patients and revealed gastritis and/or duodenitis in 33 patients, diverticular colon disease in 18, esophagitis in 8, colon polyps in 14, stomach polyps in 3, inflammatory bowel disease in 7, and cancers in 3. CONCLUSIONS The preliminary results indicate that patients after kidney transplantation have significant risk of gastrointestinal pathologies and require detailed diagnostic endoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Current guidelines recommend colon cancer screening for persons aged over 50 years. However, there are few data on colorectal cancer screening in 40- to 49-year-olds. This study assessed the prevalence and risk factors of colorectal neoplasms in 40- to 49-year-old Koreans. METHODS We analyzed the results of screening colonoscopies of 6680 persons 40-59 years of age (2206 aged 40-49 and 4474 aged 50-59 years). RESULTS The prevalence of overall and advanced neoplasms in the 40- to 49-year age group was lower than in the 50- to 59-year age group (26.7% and 2.4% vs 37.8% and 3.5%, respectively). However, the prevalence of overall and advanced neoplasms increased to 39.1% and 5.4%, respectively, in 45- to 49-year-old individuals with metabolic syndrome. In the 40- to 49-year age group, age, current smoking, and metabolic syndrome were associated with an increased risk of advanced neoplasms (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.30; OR 3.12, 95% CI 1.20-8.12; and OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.09-3.67, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Individuals aged 40-49 years had a lower prevalence of colorectal neoplasms than those aged 50-59 years, but some 40- to 49-year-olds showed a similar prevalence to those aged 50-59 years. Age, current smoking habits, and metabolic syndrome are associated with an increased risk of advanced neoplasms in subjects aged 40-49 years. Further studies are needed to stratify the risks of colon cancer and guide targeted screening in persons younger than 50 years old.

Abstract
Aim. Our study aims to determine possible association between biopsy-proven nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hyperplastic polyps (HP) of the colon. Methods. A retrospective cohort observational study. All subjects underwent screening colonoscopy within two years. Data were extracted from the patient charts including demographic, anthropometric measurement, vital signs, underlying diseases, medical therapy, laboratory data, results of the liver biopsy with degree of fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity, the colonoscopy report, and the pathological report of the extracted polyp. Results. A total of 223 patients were included in our study, 123 patients with biopsy-proven NASH and 100 patients without NASH who served as the control group matched for age. 14 colonic adenomas (11% of patients) were found in the NASH group compared with 16 adenomas (16% of patients) found in the control group (P = 0.9). 28 HPs were found in the NASH group (22.7%) compared with only 8 HPs in the control group (8%) (P < 0.05). 21 from the 28 (75%) HPs diagnosed in the NASH group were observed in the high degree fibrosis patients (Fibrosis Stages 3 and 4), 6 HPs (21%) were associated with Fibrosis Stages 1 and 2, and single HP (4%) was associated with Fibrosis Stage 0. Conclusions. Our study showed an association between biopsy-proven steatohepatitis and the burden of hyperplastic polyp. The severity of hepatic fibrosis may play important role in the increased occurrence of HPs.

Abstract
Strong evidence suggests that lipid metabolism (LM) has an essential role in tumor growth to support special energetic and structural requirements of tumor cells. Recently, overexpression of LM-related genes, apolipoproteins related to metabolic syndrome, and ACSL/SCD network involved in fatty acid activation have been proposed as prognostic markers of colon cancer (CC). Furthermore, activation of this latter lipid network has been recently demonstrated to confer invasive and stem cell properties to tumor cells promoting tumor aggressiveness and patient relapse. With the aim of elucidating whether any genetic variation within these genes could influence basal expression levels and consequent susceptibility to relapse, we genotype, in 284 CC patients, 57 polymorphisms located in the 7 genes of these lipid networks previously associated with worse clinical outcome of CC patients (ABCA1, ACSL1, AGPAT1, APOA2, APOC1, APOC2 and SCD), some of them related to CC aggressiveness. After adjusting with clinical confounding factors and multiple comparisons, an association between genotype and disease-free survival (DFS) was shown for rs8086 in 3'-UTR of ACSL1 gene (HR 3.08; 95% CI 1.69-5.63; adjusted p = 0.046). Furthermore, the risk T/T genotype had significantly higher ACSL1 gene expression levels than patients carrying C/T or C/C genotype (means = 5.34; 3.73; 2.37 respectively; p-value (ANOVA) = 0.019), suggesting a functional role of this variant. Thus, we have identified a "risk genotype" of ACSL1 gene that confers constitutive high levels of the enzyme, which is involved in the activation of fatty acids through conversion to acyl-CoA and has been recently related to increased invasiveness of tumor cells. These results suggest that rs8086 of ACSL1 could be a promising prognostic marker in CC patients, reinforcing the relevance of LM in the progression of CC.

How significant is the association between metabolic syndrome and prevalence of colorectal neoplasia? World J Gastroenterol 2016; 22:8103-11. [PMID: 27688652 PMCID: PMC5037079 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v22.i36.8103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2016] [Revised: 07/15/2016] [Accepted: 08/05/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been rising in developed countries. The association between these two diseases has been widely studied and reported. Less evidence is available about the relationship between MS and CRC precancerous lesions (adenomatous polyps, adenomas). The aim of this paper is to present an overview of our scientific understanding of that topic and its implication in clinical practice. One of the principal goals of current CRC secondary prevention efforts is to detect and remove the precancerous lesions in individuals with an average CRC risk to prevent the development of invasive cancer. MS is not currently considered a high-risk CRC factor and is therefore not included in the guidelines of organized screening programs. However, in light of growing scientific evidence, the approach to patients with MS should be changed. Metabolic risk factors for the development of adenomas and cancers are the same - obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus type 2. Therefore, the key issue in the near future is the development of a simple scoring system, easy to use in clinical practice, which would identify individuals with high metabolic risk of colorectal neoplasia and would be used for individual CRC secondary prevention strategies. Currently, such scoring systems have been published based on Asian (Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening Score; APCS) and Polish populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although metabolic factors such as obesity and hyperlipidemia were reported to be associated with high prevalence of colorectal neoplasm (CRN), their influence on the occurrence of CRN at surveillance colonoscopy has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between metabolic factors and the risk of CRN at the time of surveillance colonoscopy. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 1792 asymptomatic subjects (average 52.1 years, 1233 male) who underwent screening and follow-up surveillance colonoscopies. Fasting glucose level, fasting insulin level, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), lipid profile, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and colonoscopic findings at the time of baseline screening were analyzed to find any associations with the occurrence of CRN at the time of surveillance colonoscopy. RESULTS The median interval between screening and surveillance colonoscopies was 3.34 years. The 3- and 5-year cumulative CRN incidences were 22.3% and 54.8%, respectively. Several metabolic factors such as hypertension, waist circumference, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and triglyceride were associated with the occurrence of CRN in univariate analysis. Age, current alcohol drinker status, and high-risk colonoscopy findings at baseline remained independent risk factors for CRN occurrence in multivariate analysis. High waist circumference was also an independent risk factor (hazard ratio 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.04; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Metabolic factors, especially waist circumference, affect CRN occurrence at the time of surveillance colonoscopy. The surveillance colonoscopy interval may be optimized based on metabolic factors and screening colonoscopy findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS An association between serum uric acid and cancer risk has been noted over the past few decades. There is ongoing debate about whether hyperuricemia represents an independent risk factor for colorectal neoplasm. We investigated the association between serum uric acid and prevalence of colorectal adenoma considering numerous confounding factors. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed with individuals who underwent a routine health check-up examination, including a screening colonoscopy and blood chemistry. The association between serum uric acid and prevalence of colorectal adenoma was estimated from the results of a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Of the 1,066 participants, 402 had colorectal adenoma (37.7%). In univariate models, the prevalence of colorectal adenoma was higher in participants in the fourth quartile uric acid level, compared to those in the first quartile uric acid level (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.17-2.42; p=0.004). However, no significant association was detected between serum uric acid and prevalence of colorectal adenoma in multiple logistic regression analysis. A number of metabolic syndrome components exhibited a strong association with the prevalence of colorectal adenoma in the multivariate model (OR, 3.46 for highest vs. lowest; 95% CI, 1.30-9.20; p=0.021). Moreover, serum uric acid was strongly associated with metabolic syndrome-associated variables, including waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein. CONCLUSIONS Uric acid is not an independent risk factor for colorectal adenoma but is a risk indicator for metabolic syndrome-related colorectal adenoma.

Abstract
It is unclear whether dyslipidemia is associated with risk of colorectal neoplasia. The incidence of both conditions is increasing in Asia, motivating a number of new studies from this region. We performed a systematic literature search of Asian colonoscopy-based studies that collected blood lipid concentrations at the time of endoscopy. Persons found to have colorectal adenoma were considered cases, and those found to be adenoma-free were considered controls. Seventeen studies published between 2000 and 2014 met inclusion criteria, collectively enrolling 17,387 cases and 30,427 controls. Mean differences and adjusted odds ratios were summarized with random-effects meta-analyses. Compared with controls, cases had higher total cholesterol (mean difference (MD) = 2.4 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.2, 4.6), higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (MD = 1.3 mg/dL, 95% CI: 0.1, 2.6), higher triglyceride (MD = 16.4 mg/dL, 95% CI: 11.2, 21.5), and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (MD = -2.1 mg/dL, 95% CI: -2.7, -1.6) concentrations. Based on adjusted odds ratios, associations for 40-mg/dL-higher triglyceride levels (odds ratio = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.21) and 10-mg/dL-higher HDL cholesterol levels (odds ratio = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.92, 1.00) achieved statistical significance. Persons with adenoma were more likely to have unfavorable cholesterol profiles at the time of colonoscopy than those without adenoma. The most convincing evidence for an association between dyslipidemia and colorectal neoplasia was observed for hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There have been inconsistent results published regarding the relationship between dyslipidaemia and an increased risk of colorectal neoplasia (CRN), including colorectal adenoma (CRA) and colorectal cancer (CRC). We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between dyslipidaemia and CRN. DESIGN We identified studies by performing a literature search using PubMed, EMBASE and the Science Citation Index through October 2013. SETTING We analysed thirty-three independent studies reporting the association between CRN and at least one of the selected lipid components, including total cholesterol (TC), TAG, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). SUBJECTS CRN cases (n 21 809) were identified. RESULTS Overall, people with high levels of serum TAG (risk ratio (RR)=1.08; 95% CI 1.05, 1.12, P<0.00001) and LDL-C (RR=1.07; 95% CI 1.00, 1.14, P=0.04) presented an increased prevalence of CRN. Subgroup analyses revealed that high levels of serum TC (RR=1.04; 95% CI 1.01, 1.09, P=0.02), TAG (RR=1.06; 95% CI 1.03, 1.10, P=0.0009) and LDL-C (RR=1.11; 95% CI 1.04, 1.19, P=0.003) increased the risk of CRA but not of CRC. No association between serum HDL-C and risk for CRN (including CRA and CRC) was observed. CONCLUSIONS Both TAG and LDL-C were significantly associated with an increasing prevalence of CRN. High levels of serum TC, TAG and LDL-C were positively associated with CRA but not with CRC. No significant association was observed between levels of serum HDL-C and CRN.

Abstract
Cholecystectomy is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, but little is known about the relationship between gallbladder disease and colorectal adenoma. Gallbladder polyps and colorectal neoplasia (CRN) share several risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which might account for their association. In this study, we investigated whether asymptomatic patients with gallbladder disease are at increased risk of CRN and identified the factors to their association. The study population consisted of 4,626 consecutive, asymptomatic individuals drawn from a prospective health check-up cohort who underwent both ultrasonography and colonoscopy screening. The prevalence of CRNs in patients with gallbladder polyps or gallstones was significantly higher than that in the control group (32.1% vs. 26.8%; P = 0.032, 35.8% vs. 26.9%; P = 0.020). A multivariate regression analysis showed that gallbladder polyps were an independent risk factor for CRN [adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.03-1.62] whereas gallstones were not (adjusted OR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.79-1.63). The adjusted OR for the risk of CRN was 1.12 for gallbladder polyps < 5 mm (95% CI, 0.85-1.46) and 1.79 for gallbladder polyps ≥ 5 mm (95% CI, 1.15-2.77). The prevalence of CRN increased with increasing polyp size (P trend = 0.022). Our results suggest that colorectal neoplasia is significantly related to gallbladder polyps, especially those ≥ 5 mm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Colorectal adenoma and coronary atherosclerosis have similar risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between colorectal adenoma and coronary artery calcification (CAC), which is used as a surrogate marker for coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 398 Koreans (290 males, mean age of 56.8 ± 8.1 years) who underwent CAC scoring by multi-slice computed tomography and colonoscopy on the same day as the screening examination. The CAC scores were divided into the following three categories according to severity: absent (CAC score = 0), mild (0 < CAC score ≤ 100), and moderate-to-severe CAC (CAC score > 100). RESULTS Colorectal adenoma was detected in 149 (37.4%) subjects and was significantly associated with a CAC score of >0 (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.05-2.64, P = 0.032), including both mild (OR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.06-3.03, P = 0.029) and moderate-to-severe CAC (OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.05-3.63, P = 0.035), in multivariate analysis after adjusting for age, gender and other risk factors. The proportion of subjects with colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma progressively increased with increasing CAC score (colorectal adenoma 28.9%-54.1%, P for trend < 0.001; advanced adenoma 7.0%-16.4%, P for trend = 0.026). CONCLUSION Colorectal adenoma is related to coronary artery calcification independent of traditional risk factors for asymptomatic Koreans. The prevalence of advanced adenoma is more common in individuals with severe coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome (MS) and colorectal cancer and adenomas in a Western country, where the incidence of MS is over 27%. METHODS This was a prospective study between March 2013 and March 2014. MS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-ATP III. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, metabolic risk factors, and colonoscopic pathologic findings were assessed in patients with MS (group 1) who underwent routine colonoscopy at our department. This data was compared with consecutive patients without metabolic syndrome (group 2), with no differences regarding sex and age. Patients with incomplete colonoscopy, family history, or past history of colorectal neoplasm were excluded. Informed consent was obtained and the ethics committee approved this study. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and χ(2) test, with a P value ≤ 0.05 being considered statistically significant. RESULTS Of 258 patients, 129 had MS; 51% males; mean-age 67.1 years (50-87). Among the MS group, 94% had high blood pressure, 91% had increased waist circumference, 60% had diabetes, 55% had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, 50% had increased triglyceride level, and 54% were obese [body mass index (BMI) 30 kg/m(2)]. 51% presented 4 criteria of MS. MS was associated with increased prevalence of adenomas (43% vs 25%, P = 0.004) and colorectal cancer (13% vs 5%, P = 0.027), compared with patients without MS. MS was also positively associated with multiple (≥ 3) adenomas (35% vs 9%, P = 0.024) and sessile adenomas (69% vs 53%, P = 0.05). No difference existed between location (P = 0.086), grade of dysplasia (P = 0.196), or size (P = 0.841) of adenomas. In addition, no difference was found between BMI (P = 0.078), smoking (P = 0.146), alcohol consumption (P = 0.231), and the presence of adenomas. CONCLUSION MS is positively associated with adenomas and colorectal cancer. However, there is not enough information in western European countries to justify screening in patients with MS. To our knowledge, no previous study has evaluated this association in Portuguese patients.

Abstract
AIMS The existence of other primary tumors during the treatment of esophageal cancer patients has been an important issue. Our aim is to investigate the prevalence and management of colorectal neoplasia (CRN) in surgically treated esophageal cancer patients. METHODS Between 2002 and 2008, 93 patients with esophageal cancer were surgically treated. Seventy-three patients underwent subtotal esophagectomy and 20 underwent lower esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. Colonoscopy was available for detecting CRN before and after surgery. RESULTS Eighty-nine (95.7%) of the 93 patients were screened by colonoscopy preoperatively or within a year from the operation. Thirty-nine patients (43.8%) with CRN were synchronously identified: adenoma in 34 (38.2%) and adenocarcinoma in 5 patients (5.6%). Eleven adenomas with high grade-dysplasia and 8 adenomas with low grade-dysplasia were removed endoscopically. Three superficial adenocarcinomas were endoscopically removed before surgery, and 2 adenocarcinomas were surgically removed. Seventy-four patients (83.1%) were followed using colonoscopy, and 11 subsequent CRN, including 2 superficial adenocarcinomas, were endoscopically detected in 8 patients (10.8%). The size of esophageal cancer was larger in the patients with than without CRN (p = 0.036). The body mass index in esophageal cancer patients with CRN tended to be higher than in those without CRN (p = 0.065). CONCLUSIONS We noted that esophageal cancer is frequently associated with synchronous and/or metachronous colorectal cancer and adenomas. Colonoscopy is useful to detect and manage CRN before and after esophagectomy, although a few limitations exist.

Abstract
PURPOSE Abnormalities in lipid levels have been associated with colorectal neoplasm risk; however, few studies have adjusted for use of cholesterol-lowering medications. The objective of this study was to determine the association of plasma lipid levels with adenoma risk while accounting for statin medication use. METHODS We included 254 subjects with advanced adenoma, 246 with single small adenoma, 179 with multiple small adenoma cases, and 403 control participants in the Tennessee Colorectal Polyp Study who also had plasma lipid measurements performed. Data on the use of statin medications were available for 83.4% of these participants. The association between plasma lipids and adenoma risk was evaluated using logistic regression models. RESULTS Participants in the highest quartile of HDL cholesterol (range 52-106 mg/dl) had an adjusted odds ratio of 0.49 (95% CI 0.23, 1.07), 0.35 (95% CI 0.13, 0.91), and 0.22 (95% CI 0.09, 0.54) for single small, multiple small, and advanced adenomas compared to the lowest quartile (range 12-34 mg/dl), respectively. Participants with the highest quartile of triglyceride levels (range 178-721 mg/dl) had an adjusted odds ratio of 2.40 (95% CI 1.26, 4.55), 1.67 (95% CI 0.66, 4.23), and 2.79 (95% CI 1.25, 6.23) for single small, multiple small, and advanced adenoma, respectively, compared to the lowest quartile (range 40-84 mg/dl). When restricted to individuals with known statin medication use, adjusting for statin use did not appreciably affect these results. CONCLUSION We found a direct association between triglyceride plasma levels and an inverse association between plasma HDL cholesterol levels and adenoma risk. Both effects were not appreciably changed when accounting for the regular use of statin medication.

Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) may affect prognosis of the patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Objectives: This study was aimed to design a model and to examine the prognostic effect of MetS on survival time in the patients with CRC.
Patients and Methods: Data were collected from 1127 cases of CRC from Cancer Registry Center of the Research Institute of Gastroenterology and Liver Disease, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. In this cohort study, patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of MetS. We tested the prognostic value of MetS in the patients by Cox proportional hazard modeling.
Results: Mean ± standard deviation of the patients’ age at diagnosis in MetS group and non-MetS group was 56 ± 13 years old and 53 ± 15 years old respectively. Tumor stage as an independent variable affected CRC survival. The mean survival time of the MetS and non-MetS groups was 23 and 27 months respectively. Independent variables like tumor stage (hazard ratio [HR], 1.76; 95% CI, 0.29–0.90) and educational level (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.23–0.97) had significant effect on CRC survival and MetS (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.52–1.5), tumor size (HR, 1.390; 95% CI, 1.237–1.560), family history, age, gender, and smoking had non-significant effect on CRC survival.
Conclusion: MetS could be a prognostic factor for survival in the patients with CRC. The results suggested that effect of MetS was not significant.

Abstract
Studies have recently suggested that metabolic syndrome and its components increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Both diseases are increasing in most countries, and the genetic association between them has not been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to assess the association between genetic risk factors of metabolic syndrome or related conditions (obesity, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus type 2) and clinical outcome in stage II colorectal cancer patients. Expression levels of several genes related to metabolic syndrome and associated alterations were analysed by real-time qPCR in two equivalent but independent sets of stage II colorectal cancer patients. Using logistic regression models and cross-validation analysis with all tumour samples, we developed a metabolic syndrome-related gene expression profile to predict clinical outcome in stage II colorectal cancer patients. The results showed that a gene expression profile constituted by genes previously related to metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with clinical outcome of stage II colorectal cancer patients. This metabolic profile was able to identify patients with a low risk and high risk of relapse. Its predictive value was validated using an independent set of stage II colorectal cancer patients. The identification of a set of genes related to metabolic syndrome that predict survival in intermediate-stage colorectal cancer patients allows delineation of a high-risk group that may benefit from adjuvant therapy and avoid the toxic and unnecessary chemotherapy in patients classified as low risk. Our results also confirm the linkage between metabolic disorder and colorectal cancer and suggest the potential for cancer prevention and/or treatment by targeting these genes.
