Abstract
Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms refer to a group of diseases that are relatively rare. They can be classified into three subtypes based on their clinical and histopathological features, and there are significant differences in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis among the different subtypes. The incidence of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms has been increasing globally in recent years with the localized disease being particularly evident. Gastrointestinal endoscopy is of irreplaceable importance for the diagnosis and management of g-NENs. Endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of g-NENs. Ultrasound endoscopy can assess the depth of tumor invasion and the presence of lymphatic metastases, which is important for the development of treatment strategies. Meanwhile, for some small and low-risk lesions, endoscopic surveillance or endoscopic resection has satisfactory therapeutic results and prognosis. This means that even though the incidence has increased, advances in endoscopic techniques have allowed more patients to adopt a relatively conservative treatment strategy. However, the criteria for patients suitable for endoscopic surveillance or endoscopic resection remain controversial.

Gastric Microbiota Gender Differences in Subjects with Healthy Stomachs and Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis. Microorganisms 2023; 11:1938. [PMID: 37630498 PMCID: PMC10456958 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11081938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Gender differences and microbiota are gaining increasing attention. This study aimed to assess gender differences in gastric bacterial microbiota between subjects with healthy stomachs and those with autoimmune atrophic gastritis. This was a post hoc analysis of 52 subjects undergoing gastroscopy for dyspepsia (57.7% healthy stomach, 42.3% autoimmune atrophic gastritis). Gastric biopsies were obtained for histopathology and genomic DNA extraction. Gastric microbiota were assessed by sequencing the hypervariable regions of the 16SrRNA gene. The bacterial profile at the phylum level was reported as being in relative abundance expressed as 16SrRNA OTUs (>0.5%) and biodiversity calculated as Shannon-diversity index-H. All data were stratified for the female and male gender. Results showed that women with healthy stomachs had a higher gastric bacterial abundance and less microbial diversity compared to men. Likely due to hypochlorhydria and the non-acid intragastric environment, autoimmune atrophic gastritis seems to reset gender differences in gastric bacterial abundance and reduce biodiversity in males, showing a greater extent of dysbiosis in terms of reduced biodiversity in men. Differences between gender on taxa frequency at the phylum and genus level in healthy subjects and autoimmune atrophic gastritis were observed. The impact of these findings on the gender-specific natural history of autoimmune atrophic gastritis remains to be elucidated; in any case, gender differences should deserve attention in gastric microbiota studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients with type 1 gastric neuroendocrine neoplasia (T1gNENs) treated with different endoscopic approaches. METHODS Patients were managed with endoscopic surveillance at regular intervals. Resection was performed by forceps or cold snare in tumours < 10 mm, otherwise mucosal resection (EMR) or submucosal dissection (ESD) were done. RESULTS 127 T1gNENs, detected in 80 patients, were included. 87.4% of them were <5 mm, whereas 8.7% were 6-10 mm, 3.1% were 11-20 mm, and 0.8% was >20 mm. Ki67 <3%% was found in 85.8% tumours, whereas it was 3%-20% in the remaining 14.2% lesions. Noninterventional management (surveillance without radical resection) was performed in 15 patients (18.7%) with T1gNENs <5 mm. None of them underwent disease progression during follow-up. among the 65 patients treated by radical endoscopic resection, 37 patients (56.9%) had disease recurrence. 48.5% T1gNENs were removed by forceps, 16.8% by cold snare, 31.7% by EMR and 3% by ESD. The recurrence rate was similar among the different endoscopic techniques used. CONCLUSIONS The management of T1gNENs may be planned based on tumour size. T1gNENs < 5 mm for which the initial removal is not radical could be followed up by noninterventional endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
Background Gastritis is a superficial and prevalent inflammatory lesion that is considered a public health concern once can cause gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, especially when associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. Proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, are the most widely used drugs to treat this illness. The aim of the study was evaluate cytogenetic effects of omeprazole in stomach epithelial cells of patients with gastritis in presence and absence of H. pylori, through cytogenetic biomarkers and catalse and superoxide dismutase analysis. Methods The study included 152 patients from the Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinic of Hospital Getúlio Vargas, Teresina—Brazil, that reported continuous and prolonged omeprazole use in doses of 20, 30 and 40 mg/kg. The participants were divided into groups: (1) patients without gastritis (n = 32); (2) patients without gastritis but with OME use (n = 24); (3) patients with gastritis (n = 26); (4) patients with gastritis undergoing OME therapy (n = 26); (5) patients with gastritis and H. pylori (n = 22) and (6) patients with gastritis and H. pylori on OME therapy (n = 22). Results OME induced cytogenetic imbalance in the stomach epithelium through the formation of micronuclei (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; group 5 > 1, 2, 3; group 4 > 1, 2, 3); bridges (groups 4 and 6 > 1, 2, 3, 5 and group 2 > 3, 5); buds (groups 2,4,6 > , 1, 3, 5); binucleated cells (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; group 4 > 1, 2, 3); (groups 2 and 3 > 1); picnoses (group 6 > 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), groups 2 and 5 > 1, 3; group 4 > 1, 2, 3, 5); cariorrexis (groups 6 and 4 > 1, 2, 3, 5; groups 2, 3, 5 > 1) and karyolysis (groups 2, 4, and 6 > 1, 3, 5; groups 3 and 5 > 1). The OME cytogenetic instability was associated with H. pylori infection, indicating clastogenic/aneugenic effects, chromosomes alterations, gene expression changes, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Conclusions The cytogenetic changescan be attributed to several mechanisms that are still unclear, including oxidative damage, as observed by increased catalase and superoxide dismutase expresion. Positive correlations between antioxidant enzymes were found with micronuclei formation, and were negative for picnoses. Thus, the continuous and prolonged omeprazole use induces genetic instability, which can be monitored through cytogenetic analyzes, as precursor for gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type I gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs) are typically managed either expectantly or endoscopically. In contrast, locoregional surgery has been recommended for patients with type III GNETs because of the risk of metastasis. This study aimed to identify predictors of outcome independent of type in a contemporary cohort of GNET patients. METHODS A single-institution retrospective cohort study of 121 patients with a pathologic diagnosis of primary GNET between January 2009 and June 2019 was performed. GNETs were designated as type 1 (n = 74) if atrophic gastritis was present, or as type III (n = 47) in the absence of atrophic gastritis. Demographic, clinical, and histopathologic factors were examined using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression to assess the impact of various factors on recurrence and overall survival. RESULTS Median follow-up for the entire cohort was 62.7 months. While there was no difference in OS in patients with different GNET types (p = 0.10), higher tumor grade (p = 0.02) and presence of nodal or distant metastases (p = 0.02) predicted worse survival on multivariable analysis. Among type III GNET patients, those with small (< 0.5 cm), grade 1 lesions ("low-risk") were less likely to develop metastases (0% versus 33%, p < 0.01) and more likely to survive (100% versus 67%, p < 0.01) at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS Size and tumor grade predict recurrence and survival in patients with GNETs irrespective of type. Small, low-grade type III GNETs are associated with minimal risk of progression and may be managed accordingly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic resection is considered the treatment of choice for type I gastric neuroendocrine neoplasia (gNEN) given its indolent behaviour; however, the favoured endoscopic technique to remove these tumours is not well established. AIMS This systematic review is aimed at investigating the best endoscopic management for type I gNEN. METHODS PubMed Central/Medline and Scopus were systematically searched for records up to August 31, 2020. RESULTS After screening the 675 retrieved records, 6 studies were selected for the final analysis. The main endoscopic resection techniques described were endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Overall, 112 gNENs were removed by EMR and 77 by ESD. Both techniques showed similar results for complete and en bloc resection (97.4% and 98.7%; 92.3% and 96.3% with ESD and EMR, respectively). ESD was associated with a higher rate of complications than EMR (11.7% vs. 5.4%), but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.17). The rates of recurrence during follow-up were 18.2% and 11.5% for EMR and ESD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS To date, there are no sufficient data showing superiority of a given endoscopic technique over others. Both ESD and EMR seem to be effective in the management of type I gNEN, with a relatively low rate of recurrence.

Abstract
Omeprazole (OME) is commonly used to treat gastrointestinal disorders. However, long-term use of OME can increase the risk of gastric cancer. We aimed to characterize the pharmacological effects of OME and to correlate its adverse effects and toxicogenetic risks to the genomic instability mechanisms and cancer-based on database reports. Thus, a search (till Aug 2019) was made in the PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect with relevant keywords. Based on the study objective, we included 80 clinical reports, forty-six in vitro, and 76 in vivo studies. While controversial, the findings suggest that long-term use of OME (5 to 40 mg/kg) can induce genomic instability. On the other hand, OME-mediated protective effects are well reported and related to proton pump blockade and anti-inflammatory activity through an increase in gastric flow, anti-inflammatory markers (COX-2 and interleukins) and antiapoptotic markers (caspases and BCL-2), glycoprotein expression, and neutrophil infiltration reduction. The reported adverse and toxic effects, especially in clinical studies, were atrophic gastritis, cobalamin deficiencies, homeostasis disorders, polyp development, hepatotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and genotoxicity. This study highlights that OME may induce genomic instability and increase the risk of certain types of cancer. Therefore, adequate precautions should be taken, especially in its long-term therapeutic strategies and self-medication practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are very heterogeneous, ranging from mostly indolent, atrophic gastritis-associated, type I neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), through highly malignant, poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (pdNECs), to sporadic type III NETs with intermediate prognosis, and various rare tumor types. Histologic differentiation, proliferative grade, size, level of gastric wall invasion, and local or distant metastases are used as prognostic markers. However, their value remains to be tailored to specific gastric NENs. METHODS Series of type I NETs (n = 123 cases), type III NETs (n = 34 cases), and pdNECs (n = 43 cases) were retrospectively collected from four pathology centers specializing in endocrine pathology. All cases were characterized clinically and histopathologically. During follow-up (median 93 months) data were recorded to assess disease-specific patient survival. RESULTS Type I NETs, type III NETs, and pdNECs differed markedly in terms of tumor size, grade, invasive and metastatic power, as well as patient outcome. Size was used to stratify type I NETs into subgroups with significantly different invasive and metastatic behavior. All 70 type I NETs < 0.5 cm (micro-NETs) were uneventful. Ki67-based grading proved efficient for the prognostic stratification of type III NETs; however, grade 2 (G2) was not associated with tumor behavior in type I NETs. Although G3 NETs (2 type I and 9 type III) had a very poor prognosis, it was found that patient survival was longer with type III G3 NETs compared to pdNECs. CONCLUSIONS Given the marked, tumor type-related behavior differences, evaluation of gastric NEN prognostic parameters should be tailored to the type of neoplastic disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the presentation, treatment and outcome of patients with type 1 gastric carcinoid tumours. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records and re-evaluated histopathological specimens of 26 patients with type 1 gastric carcinoids treated at a single tertiary referral centre from 1993 to 2013, with median time of follow-up 52.5 months (IQR 90.8). RESULTS Seven patients (27%) had single tumours and 19 patients (73%) multiple tumours at the time of diagnosis. The median number of tumours and median diameter of largest tumour were 2.5 (IQR 3.2) and 6.0 mm (IQR 9.5) respectively. Median serum gastrin was 321.0 pmol/l (IQR 604.0) and median serum chromogranin A 7.7 nmol/l (IQR 5.3). Three patients had metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis and two developed metastases during follow-up. Patients with metastatic disease had larger primary tumours than the others (20.0 mm (IQR 28.5) vs. 5.0 mm (IQR 5.5), p = 0.04). There was a positive correlation between age and tumour size (r = 0.44, p = 0.03) and between serum chromogranin A and serum gastrin at diagnosis (r = 0.76, p = 0.001). Patients were either treated with surgery (n = 8 (31%)), a long-acting somatostatin analogue and/or gastrin receptor antagonist (n = 10 (39%)) for a period of time, or were observed without treatment (n = 8 (31%) with close endoscopic follow up. CONCLUSIONS Although gastric carcinoids have an overall good prognosis, a significant proportion develops metastatic disease. As partial and total gastrectomy is associated with major side effects, treatment with long-acting a somatostatin analogue or gastrin antagonist should be considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs) are rare and classified into three types by disease etiology and typical behavior. METHODS The aim was to describe outcomes after GNET resection at a single institution from 2000 to 2014, stratified by tumor type. Given the small patient number, P-values were not assigned. RESULTS Of 22 patients, 12 patients (55%) had Type 1, none (0%) had Type 2, and 10 (45%) had Type 3 tumors. Compared to Type 3, Type 1 patients were younger (mean age: 52 vs. 59 years) with similar rates of endoscopic resection (25% vs. 20%). Type 1 GNETs often had multiple tumors (60% vs. 10%) and were not poorly differentiated (0% vs. 11%). Only 33% of Type 1 had nodal metastases compared to 71% of Type 3. Type 1 GNETs presented with metastatic disease less often (17% vs. 40%). Three year recurrence-free survival was 33% for Type 1 compared to 86% for Type 3. Disease-specific survival at 3-years was 100% and 75% for Types 1 and 3, respectively. CONCLUSION Type 1 GNETs are often indolent and multifocal without nodal involvement, but have high recurrence risk. Type 3 is more aggressive with increased nodal involvement; nodal evaluation should be routinely performed. Determination of GNET type is paramount to treating patients with this rare disease. J.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been associated with high accuracy for the identification of gastric malignant lesions. This study aimed to investigate for the first time the endoscopic NBI appearances of type 1 gastric carcinoids in a consecutive series of patients with atrophic gastritis. METHODS Seven consecutive patients (five women, median age 61 years) with atrophic gastritis and polypoid type 1 gastric carcinoids were included. After white-light examination, gastric antrum and body were examined by NBI for the examination of polyps and lesions. Digital images of polyps from recorded videos were extracted and reviewed for NBI features. RESULTS Fifteen polypoid type 1 gastric microcarcinoids (median size 3 mm) were detected in the seven patients; four patients had synchronous lesions. Nine (60%) lesions showed a tubulovillous and six lesions (40%) showed an irregular mucosal pattern; a regular circular pattern was never observed. A light-blue crest was observed on six (40%) lesions. The vascular pattern was irregular in eight (53.3%) microcarcinoids. All six type 1 gastric carcinoids with an irregular mucosal pattern showed an irregular vascular pattern without light-blue crest. Of the nine carcinoids with a tubulovillous mucosal pattern, two had an irregular and seven had a regular vascular pattern. CONCLUSION Polypoid type 1 gastric microcarcinoids always show an abnormal NBI mucosal surface pattern, but no specific features to distinguish them from other intraepithelial lesions such as intestinal metaplasia, adenomas, or low-grade and high-grade dysplasia are observed. Thus, target biopsies to diagnose the pathological nature of the lesion are advocated.
