Wang N, Niu X, Li L, Tang J, Bi Y, Liu S, Han K, Cheng Y, Cai Z, Chai N, Linghu E. A new, simplified endoscopic scoring system for predicting clinical outcome in gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia: the "e-cout system". Neoplasia 2024; 56:101030. [PMID: 39047660 PMCID: PMC11318536 DOI: 10.1016/j.neo.2024.101030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The clinical outcomes of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) exhibit significant diversity, and the current reliance on endoscopic biopsy for diagnosis poses limitations in devising appropriate treatment strategies for this disease. This study aims to establish a prognostic prediction scoring system (e-Cout system) for gastric LGIN, offering a theoretical foundation for solving this clinical challenge. METHODS Retrospectively selecting 1013 cases meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria from over 300,000 cases of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of our hospital between 2000 and 2022, the cohort included 484 cases as development cohort and 529 cases for validation. Employing relevant statistical analysis, we used development cohort data to establish the e-Cout system for gastric LGIN, and further used validation cohort data to for internal validation. RESULTS In the developmental stage, based on accordant regression coefficients, we assigned point values to six risk factors for poor prognosis: 4 points for microvessel (MV) distortion, 3 points for MV thickening, 2 points for ulcer, and 1 point each for lesion size > 2cm, disease duration > 1 year, and hyperemia and redness on the lesion surface. Patients were then categorized into four risk levels: low risk (0-1 point), medium risk (2-3), high risk (4-6), and very high risk (≥7). During the validation stage, significant differences in the three different outcomes of gastric LGIN were observed across all risk levels. The probability of reversal and progression showed a significant decrease and increase, respectively, with escalating of risk levels, and these differences were statistically significant (P< 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The proposed e-Cout system holds promise in aiding clinicians to predict the probability and risk levels of different clinical outcomes in patients with gastric LGIN. This system is expected to provide an improved foundation and guidance for the selection of clinical strategies for this disease.

Abstract
Cancer represents a major global public health burden, with new cases estimated to increase from 14 million in 2012 to 24 million by 2035. Primary prevention is an effective strategy to reduce the costs associated with cancer burden. For example, measures to ban tobacco consumption have dramatically decreased lung cancer incidence and vaccination against human papillomavirus can prevent cervical cancer development. Unfortunately, the etiological factors of many cancer types are not completely clear or are difficult to actively control; therefore, the primary prevention of such cancers is not practical. In this review, we update the progress on precision therapy by targeting the whole carcinogenesis process, especially for three high-risk groups: (1) those with chronic inflammation, (2) those with inherited germline mutations, and (3) those with precancerous lesions like polyps, gastritis, actinic keratosis or dysplasia. We believe that attenuating chronic inflammation, treating precancerous lesions, and removing high-risk tissues harboring germline mutations are precision methods for cancer prevention.

BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:253.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathological results obtained from endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) do not always align with the findings of postoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Furthermore, as ESD becomes more widespread, the number of noncurative endoscopic cases increases; thus, an accurate preoperative diagnosis and an appropriate treatment method are crucial. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for postoperative pathological upgrading and noncurative resection and to gather experience in clinical and pathological diagnosis. METHODS From March 2016 to November 2023, 292 ESD specimens were collected from 262 patients with gastric mucosal lesions. Clinicopathological information, the coincidence rate of pathological diagnosis between EFB and ESD specimens, and risk factors related to noncurative resection were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The overall upgraded pathological diagnosis rate between EFB and ESD was 26.4%. The independent predictors for the upgraded group included proximal stomach lesions, lesion size > 2 cm, surface ulceration, and surface nodules. Twenty of the 235 early gastric cancer (EGC) patients underwent noncurative ESD resection. Multivariate analysis showed that undifferentiated carcinoma and tumor infiltration into the submucosa were significantly associated with noncurative resection. CONCLUSION Biopsy cannot fully represent the lesions of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN). When a suspected epithelial dysplasia is suspected, a careful endoscopic examination should be conducted to evaluate the lesion site, size, and surface characteristics to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Noncurative endoscopic resection is associated with undifferentiated carcinoma and submucosal infiltration. Clinicians must be familiar with these predictive factors for noncurative resection and select the appropriate treatment for their patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is effective in treating early gastric cancer (EGC). Its role in patients with comorbidities along with more advanced disease is unknown. We sought to evaluate this in a large Western cohort. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent ESD for EGC in a single tertiary Western endoscopy center over 10 years were prospectively analyzed. The primary outcomes were long-term overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) up to 5 years. Secondary outcomes were efficacy and serious adverse events (SAEs). RESULTS ESD for 157 cases of EGC in 149 patients was performed in an elderly and comorbid cohort with a mean age of 73.7 years and age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index of 4.2. Over a median follow-up of 51.6 months, no significant differences were found in 5-year OS (88.9% vs 77.9%, P = .290) and DFS (83.2% vs 75.1%, P = .593) between absolute indication (AI) EGC and relative indication (RI) EGC. The AI EGC cohort achieved higher en-bloc (96.3% vs 87.5%, P = .069) and R0 resection rates (93.6% vs 62.5%, P < .001) when compared with RI EGC. No significant differences were found in SAEs (7.3% vs 12.5%, P = .363). No mortality or surgical resection ensued from adverse events from ESD. CONCLUSIONS ESD safely confers DFS in poor surgical candidates with RI EGC in a large Western cohort. Patients who are elderly and/or with comorbidities or decline surgical resection may benefit from ESD and avoid the risks of surgery and its long-term sequelae.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore socio-economic factors and medical conditions that affect regular stomach cancer (SC) screening among Korean adults. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective observational study. METHODS Study subjects were 5545 adults aged ≥40 years who participated in the 2007-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and were followed up to year 2017 based on data linking to the Korean National Health Insurance Service and Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment. Socio-economic factors included sex, age, residential area, education, occupation, marital status, disability, public and private health insurance, service through local public health organizations, history of cancer except for SC, and family history of SC. Medical factors included six gastric lesions with the possibility of facilitating SC screening, including benign gastric neoplasm, chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric polyp, Helicobacter pylori infection, intestinal metaplasia, and peptic ulcers. The outcome was adherence to SC screening, which was divided into non-adherence, irregular adherence, and regular adherence. RESULTS After adjusting for the effects of socio-economic factors, multivariate ordinal logistic regression revealed that participants with a history of four types of gastric lesions were more likely to regularly participate in SC screening: chronic atrophic gastritis (odds ratio [OR] 1.567; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.276-1.923), gastric polyps (OR 1.565; 95% CI = 1.223-2.003), H. pylori infection (OR 1.637; 95% CI = 1.338-2.003), and peptic ulcer (OR 2.226; 95% CI 1.750-2.831). CONCLUSIONS To improve participation in SC screening, it is necessary to implement personalized strategies for individuals at risk for gastric cancer in addition to population-based strategies for vulnerable groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric dysplasia in the absence of an endoscopically defined lesion is rare, usually either a false positive diagnosis or a previously unidentified precancerous lesion during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). AIMS Evaluate factors associated with the presence of an endoscopically visible lesion during follow-up in patients with histologic diagnosis of gastric dysplasia in random biopsies. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including patients referred to our institution for gastric dysplasia in random biopsies during Index EGD. Endoscopic evaluation was performed with a high-definition endoscope using narrow band imaging (HD EGD-0). If no lesion was detected, endoscopic surveillance (HD EGD-FU) was conducted within 6 months for high grade dysplasia (HGD) or 12 months for low grade (LGD) or indefinite for dysplasia (IFD). RESULTS From a total sample of 96 patients, 5 (5.2%) presented with an endoscopically visible lesion during HD EGD-0, while 10 lesions (10.4%) were identified during HD EGD-FU. Patients with Helicobacter pylori infection at Index EDG and with regular alcohol consumption (≥25 g/day) were 8 and 4 times more likely to have an endoscopically visible lesion on HD EGD-FU (p = 0.012 and p = 0.047). In binary logistic regression, both factors were independent predictors of the presence of gastric lesion on HD EGD-FU (OR 9.284, p = 0.009 and OR 5.025, p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS The presence of an endoscopically visible lesion after the histologic diagnosis of gastric dysplasia in random biopsies was more frequent during HD EGD-FU. H. pylori infection at Index EGD and regular alcohol consumption were significant predictors of the presence of gastric lesion on HD EGD-FU.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastric adenoma is a precursor lesion of gastric cancer. We investigated whether the removal of gastric adenoma prevented gastric cancer incidence and its mortality. METHODS Using the linkage of nationwide databases, we assessed gastric cancer incidence and mortality among patients who had gastric adenomas removed between 2011 and 2013 in Korea. These outcomes were compared primarily with those of the Korean general population by estimating the standardized incidence and mortality ratio and secondarily with internal control subjects who did not have gastric neoplasm after esophagogastroduodenoscopy and were matched for age, sex, and calendar year by calculating hazard ratios (HR) with the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS We identified 44,405 adenoma removal patients. During a median follow-up of 8.4 years, 1,038 (2.34%) of them were given a diagnosis of gastric cancer and a total of 524 gastric cancers were expected for a standard incidence ratio of 1.98 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.84-2.13). A total of 199 deaths from gastric cancer were expected and 99 were observed for a standard mortality ratio of 0.50 (95% CI, 0.40-0.60). Compared with the nonadenoma cohort (n = 39,826), the adenoma removal patients had a higher risk of gastric cancer (HR, 2.84; 95% CI, 2.51-3.21) and associated mortality (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.19-2.31). DISCUSSION Removal of gastric adenoma resulted in lower-than-expected mortality but higher-than-expected incidence due to gastric cancer than that in the general population. Our analyses indicated the importance of follow-up strategy after removal of gastric adenoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A clinical diagnostic model of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) was developed and validated to improve the identification of precancerous lesions in gastric cancer. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1211 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and 1089 patients with LGIN admitted to the Endoscopy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from January 2016 to December 2021 was performed to record basic clinical and pathological information.A total of 1756 patients were included after screening and were divided unequally and randomly into 2 groups, one for establishing an LGIN predictive nomogram (70% of patients) and the other for external validation of the model (30% of patients). R software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The nomogram was built with 10 predictors: age, sex, lesion location, intestinal metaplasia, multiple location, lesion size, erosion, edema, surface white fur, and form. The calibration curves showed good agreement between the predicted and actual diagnoses. The C-indexes were 0.841 (95% CI: 0.820-0.863) in the training dataset, 0.833 in the internal validation dataset, and 0.842 in the external validation dataset (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P = .612), showing satisfactory stableness. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a visual mathematical model that can be used to diagnose high-risk LGIN, improve follow-up or endoscopic treatment and the detection rate of precancerous gastric cancer lesions, reduce the incidence of gastric cancer, and provide a reliable basis for the treatment of LGIN.

BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) develops from gastric precancerous lesions (GPL), and early diagnosis and treatment at the premalignant stage may achieve a higher benefit‒cost ratio with a reduced necessity for surgery. However, reliable noninvasive screening biomarkers of GPL are currently lacking. METHODS The marker genes of GPL encoding extracellular proteins were identified by bioinformatics analysis and further verified by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry assays. Serum samples were collected to measure the levels of SERPINB5, the diagnostic efficacy of which was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). Finally, the effect of SERPINB5 on the phenotypic conversion of macrophages was verified by public data and in vitro experiments. RESULTS SERPINB5 was identified as an extracellular biomarker of GPL that had good diagnostic efficacy. High expression of SERPINB5 was observed in the epithelial cells and adjacent extracellular matrix on sections of gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN). Importantly, SERPINB5 determined in serum was significantly increased in the HGIN group, and the AUC for discriminating between HGIN and chronic gastritis or low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was 0.9936 and 0.9750, respectively. Moreover, SERPINB5 expression was positively correlated with macrophage infiltration, and M1 marker NOS2 expression, but negatively correlated with M2 marker CSF1R expression. In THP-1-derived macrophages, SERPINB5 upregulated expression of M1-related cytokines TNF-α and IL-12, and M1 marker CD86, but suppressed production of M2-related cytokines TGF-β and IL-10. CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence that SERPINB5 may serve as a promising noninvasive serum biomarker for gastric HGIN screening and regulate macrophage phenotype conversion.

[PMID: 38018553 DOI: 10.1590/s0004-2803.23042023-120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric atrophy (GA) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) are early stages in the development of gastric cancer. Evaluations are based on the Updated Sydney System, which includes a biopsy of the incisura angularis (IA), and the Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment (OLGA) and Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment using Intestinal Metaplasia (OLGIM) gastric cancer risk staging systems. OBJECTIVE To compare the OLGA and OLGIM classifications with and without IA biopsy. In addition, to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and pre-neoplastic changes (GA and IM) in different biopsied regions and to identify the exclusive findings of IA. METHODS Observational, prospective, descriptive, unicentric study with 350 patients without a diagnosis of gastric cancer, who underwent upper digestive endoscopy with biopsies at Gastroclínica Itajaí, from March 2020 to May 2022. The histopathological classification of gastritis followed the Updated Sydney System, and the gastric cancer risk assessment followed the OLGA and OLGIM systems. The methodology applied evaluated the scores of the OLGA and OLGIM systems with and without the assessment of the IA biopsy. Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive measures (frequencies, percentages, mean, standard deviation, 95% confidence interval). Ranks were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis or Wilcoxon tests. To analyze the relationship between the frequencies, the bilateral Fisher’s exact test was used. Wilson’s score with continuity correction was applied to the confidence interval. RESULTS The median age was 54.7 years, with 52.57% female and 47.43% male patients. The comparison between the used biopsies protocol (corpus + antrum [CA] vs corpus + antrum + incisura angularis [CAI]) and the OLGA and OLGIM stages showed a significant decrease in both staging systems when the biopsy protocol restricted to the corpus and antrum was applied (OLGA CAI vs CA; P=0.008 / OLGIM CAI vs CA; P=0.002). The prevalence of pre-malignant lesions (GA, IM and dysplasia) of the gastric mucosa was (33.4%, 34% and 1.1%, respectively) in the total sample. The antrum region exhibited significantly higher numbers of alteration (P<0.001), except for HP infection, which was present in 24.8% of the patients. CONCLUSION Incisura angularis biopsy is important because it increased the number of cases diagnosed in more advanced stages of intestinal metaplasia and atrophy. The study had limitations, with the main one being the relatively small sample size, consisting mostly of healthy individuals, although mostly elderly.

Abstract
Introduction Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the United States. Surgery remains integral to the curative management of non-metastatic gastric cancer. However, delays to the date of surgery for gastric cancer patients are commonplace. To investigate the impact of treatment delays on gastric cancer mortality, we conducted a multivariable analysis of over 36,000 patients. Materials & methods After querying the National Cancer Database and excluding patients who did not meet inclusion criteria, our sample included 36,598 patients with stage I-III gastric cancer. We ran multivariable logistic regressions by regressing 90-day mortality on wait time. Other co-variables included sex, race, age, area of residence, comorbidities, insurance, histology, tumor grade, tumor stage, resection margins, treatment facility type, and treatment with chemotherapy. Results Our results demonstrated that each day of increased waiting time is associated with a 0.5% decrease in 90-day mortality. Other statistically significant predictors of higher 90-day mortality risk included male sex, black or white race, living in a small metropolitan or non-metropolitan area, older age, more severe comorbidities, non-private insurance, non-gastric stromal tumor cancer, non-well differentiated tumors, worse clinical stage, residual cancer, treatment at non-academic center, and no adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that patients with longer wait times until surgery do not experience worse outcomes. These results are reassuring and can be cited to alleviate patient concerns.

MiR-204-3p overexpression inhibits gastric carcinoma cell proliferation by inhibiting the MAPK pathway and RIP1/MLK1 necroptosis pathway to promote apoptosis. World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:4542-4556. [PMID: 37621755 PMCID: PMC10445008 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i29.4542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric carcinoma (GC) is the third most frequent cause of cancer-related death, highlighting the pressing need for novel clinical treatment options. In this regard, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Studies have shown that miRNAs can regulate related signaling pathways, acting as tumor suppressors or tumor promoters. AIM To explore the effect of miR-204-3p on GC cells. METHODS We measured the expression levels of miR-204-3p in GC cells using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, followed by the delivery of miR-204-3p overexpression and miR-204-3p knockdown vectors into GC cells. CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of miR-204-3p on the proliferation of GC cells, and the colony formation ability of GC cells was detected by the clonal formation assay. The effects of miR-204-3p on GC cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The BABL/c nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model using MKN-45 cells was constructed to verify the effect of miR-204-3p on the tumorigenicity of GC cells. Furthermore, the study investigated the effects of miR-204-3p on various proteins related to the MAPK signaling pathway, necroptosis signaling pathway and apoptosis signaling pathway on GC cells using Western blot techniques. RESULTS Firstly, we found that the expression of miR-204-3p in GC was low. When treated with the lentivirus overexpression vector, miR-204-3p expression significantly increased, but the lentivirus knockout vector had no significant effect on miR-204-3p. In vitro experiments confirmed that miR-204-3p overexpression inhibited GC cell viability, promoted cell apoptosis, blocked the cell cycle, and inhibited colony formation ability. In vivo animal experiments confirmed that miR-204-3p overexpression inhibited subcutaneous tumorigenesis ability in BABL/c nude mice. Simultaneously, our results verified that miR-204-3p overexpression can inhibit GC cell proliferation by inhibiting protein expression levels of KRAS and p-ERK1/2 in the MAPK pathway, as well as inhibiting protein expression levels of p-RIP1 and p-MLK1 in the necroptosis pathway to promote the BCL-2/BAX/Caspase-3 apoptosis pathway. CONCLUSION MiR-204-3p overexpression inhibited GC cell proliferation by inhibiting the MAPK pathway and necroptosis pathway to promote apoptosis of GC cells. Thus, miR-204-3p may represent a new potential therapeutic target for GC.

Endoscopic resection of gastric low-grade dysplasia with high risk factors is associated with decreased advanced neoplasia: a single-center retrospective cohort study. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-09968-x. [PMID: 36890418 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-09968-x] [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: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The natural course of gastric low-grade dysplasia (LGD) remains unclear, and there are inconsistent management recommendations among guidelines and consensus. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the incidence of advanced neoplasia in patients with gastric LGD and identify the related risk factors. METHODS Cases of biopsy demonstrated LGD (BD-LGD) at our center from 2010 to 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Risk factors related to histological progression were identified, and outcomes of patients based on risk stratification were evaluated. RESULTS Ninety-seven (23.0%) of 421 included BD-LGD lesions were diagnosed as advanced neoplasia. Among 409 superficial BD-LGD lesions, lesion in the upper third of the stomach, H. pylori infection, larger size, and narrow band imaging (NBI)-positive findings were independent risk factors of progression. NBI-positive lesions and NBI-negative lesions with or without other risk factors had 44.7%, 1.7%, and 0.0% risk of advanced neoplasia, respectively. Invisible lesions, visible lesions (VLs) without a clear margin, and VLs with a clear margin and size ≤ 10 mm, or > 10 mm had 4.8%, 7.9%, 16.7%, and 55.7% risk of advanced neoplasia, respectively. In addition, endoscopic resection decreased the risk of cancer (P < 0.001) and advanced neoplasia (P < 0.001) in patients with NBI-positive lesions, but not in NBI-negative patients. Similar results were found in patients with VLs with clear margin and size > 10 mm. Moreover, NBI-positive lesions had higher sensitivity and lower specificity for predicting advanced neoplasia than VLs with a clear margin and size > 10 mm determined by white-light endoscopy (97.6% vs. 62.7%, P < 0.001; and 63.0% vs. 85.6%, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Progression of superficial BD-LGD is associated with NBI-positive lesions, as well as with VLs with a clear margin (size > 10 mm) if NBI is unavailable, and selective resection of those lesions offers benefits for patients by decreasing the risk of advanced neoplasia.

Short Telomere Lesions with Dysplastic Metaplasia Histology May Represent Precancerous Lesions of Helicobacter pylori-Positive Gastric Mucosa. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043182.

Abstract
Gastric cancers are strongly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, with intestinal metaplasia characterizing the background mucosa in most cases. However, only a subset of intestinal metaplasia cases proceed to carcinogenesis, and the characteristics of high-risk intestinal metaplasia that link it with gastric cancer are still unclear. We examined telomere reduction in five gastrectomy specimens using fluorescence in situ hybridization, and identified areas with localized telomere loss (outside of cancerous lesions), which were designated as short telomere lesions (STLs). Histological analyses indicated that STLs were characteristic of intestinal metaplasia accompanied by nuclear enlargement but lacking structural atypia, which we termed dysplastic metaplasia (DM). A review of gastric biopsy specimens from 587 H. pylori-positive patients revealed 32 cases of DM, 13 of which were classified as high-grade based on the degree of nuclear enlargement. All high-grade DM cases exhibited a telomere volume reduced to less than 60% of that of lymphocytes, increased stemness, and telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression. Two patients (15%) exhibited low levels of p53 nuclear retention. After a 10-year follow-up, 7 (54%) of the high-grade DM cases had progressed to gastric cancer. These results suggest that DM is characterized by telomere shortening, TERT expression, and stem cell proliferation, and high-grade DM is a high-grade intestinal metaplasia that likely represents a precancerous lesion of gastric cancer. High-grade DM is expected to effectively prevent progression to gastric cancer in H. pylori-positive patients.

Abstract
Background Endoscopically visible gastric neoplastic lesions (GNLs), including early gastric cancer and intraepithelial neoplasia, should be accurately diagnosed and promptly treated. However, a high rate of missed diagnosis of GNLs contributes to the potential risk of the progression of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for the diagnosis and segmentation of GNLs under magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in patients with suspected superficial lesions. Methods ME-NBI images of patients with GNLs in two centers were retrospectively analysed. Two convolutional neural network (CNN) modules were developed and trained on these images. CNN1 was trained to diagnose GNLs, and CNN2 was trained for segmentation. An additional internal test set and an external test set from another center were used to evaluate the diagnosis and segmentation performance. Results CNN1 showed a diagnostic performance with an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of 90.8%, 92.5%, 89.0%, 89.4% and 92.2%, respectively, and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.928 in the internal test set. With CNN1 assistance, all endoscopists had a higher accuracy than for an independent diagnosis. The average intersection over union (IOU) between CNN2 and the ground truth was 0.5837, with a precision, recall and the Dice coefficient of 0.776, 0.983 and 0.867, respectively. Conclusions This CAD system can be used as an auxiliary tool to diagnose and segment GNLs, assisting endoscopists in more accurately diagnosing GNLs and delineating their extent to improve the positive rate of lesion biopsy and ensure the integrity of endoscopic resection.

Abstract
Chronic gastritis (CG) is a widespread and frequent disease, mainly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, which is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer. Virtual chromoendoscopy improves the endoscopic diagnostic efficacy, which is essential to establish the most appropriate therapy and to enable cancer prevention. Artificial intelligence provides algorithms for the diagnosis of gastritis and, in particular, early gastric cancer, but it is not yet used in practice. Thus, technological innovation, through image resolution and processing, optimizes the diagnosis and management of CG and gastric cancer. The endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis improves the diagnosis and management of this disease, but through the analysis of the most recent literature, new algorithms can be proposed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterized by high risks of colonic and extracolonic tumors. Recent studies have suggested a rising risk for gastric cancer (GC). We sought to define the spectrum of premalignant gastric polyps in FAP, focusing on high-grade dysplasia (HGD). METHODS The gastric phenotypes of 118 patients diagnosed with FAP or attenuated FAP in our Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancer Registry were retrospectively reviewed. To analyze the clinical features associated with the diagnosis of HGD, we established an age- and sex-matched control group of FAP patients from our cohort without gastric HGD in a 4:1 ratio. RESULTS The spectrum and frequency of gastric polyps in individuals with FAP included fundic gland polyps (67.9%), hyperplastic polyps/foveolar hyperplasia (19.6%), tubular adenomas (15.2%), foveolar adenomas (10.7%), and pyloric gland adenomas (6.3%). Ten patients (8.9%) exhibited gastric HGD at a mean age of 55 ± 13 years, and HGD was seen in all polyp types. When compared with control subjects, HGD was associated with a high diversity of gastric polyp histology, prior low-grade dysplasia, severe gastric polyposis, and prior Whipple surgery (P = 2.0E-5, .003, .024, and .04, respectively). Two patients (1.7%) with HGD were diagnosed with GC. However, the remaining 8 patients with HGD have been under surveillance for an average of 5.8 ± 4.5 years without progression to GC. CONCLUSIONS Gastric HGD in FAP may be more common than previously appreciated. The natural history of HGD is variable, and most patients with HGD do not appear to progress to GC.

Objective This study was to evaluate the efficacy of antimicrobial step-down therapy versus conventional antimicrobial therapy in the treatment of patients with sepsis. Methods Between September 2020 and September 2021, 65 patients with sepsis treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital were recruited and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either conventional antimicrobial therapy (sulbactam plus cefoperazone) (control group) or antimicrobial step-down therapy (imipenem/cilastatin) (observation group). The results of drug sensitivity tests and clinical effects were evaluated comprehensively after 3-5 d of treatment, downgraded, and upgraded, or maintenance treatment was administered for 10 d. Outcome measures included clinical and laboratory indices and treatment efficacy. Results Antimicrobial step-down therapy resulted in a significantly higher efficacy and lower levels of white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein (CRP) versus conventional antimicrobial therapy (P < 0.05). The patients given antimicrobial step-down therapy showed a significantly shorter duration of antimicrobial drug administration, temperature recovery, time of respiratory support, and ICU stays versus conventional antimicrobial therapy (P < 0.05). Conclusion Antimicrobial step-down therapy contributes to the mitigation of inflammatory responses in patients with sepsis and shortens the duration of antimicrobial drug use and ICU stay versus conventional antimicrobial therapy. The reliability of the conclusions can be further increased if multicenter and large sample clinical observations can be conducted, which is the direction of endeavor for future clinical studies.

Expression of SASP, DNA Damage Response, and Cell Proliferation Factors in Early Gastric Neoplastic Lesions: Correlations and Clinical Significance. Pathol Oncol Res 2022; 28:1610401.

Abstract
The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) pathway has recently been identified in the suppression and promotion of cancers. However, its practical role in carcinogenesis remains to be comprehensively elucidated. Here, we describe an investigation analysing SASP activity and its correlations with DNA damage response (DDR), genomic mutations, and cell proliferation in gastric carcinogenesis among 30 cases with available endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) specimens of early neoplastic lesions (including low-grade dysplasia [LGD], high-grade dysplasia [HGD], and intramucosal carcinoma). The positive cells of senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining and cGAS, STING, interferon-regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) expression levels using immunostaining were elevated in HGD and in cancers. Similarly, increased expression of the Fanconi anemia group D2 (FANCD2) protein, tumour suppressor p53 binding protein 1 (TP53BP1), and replication protein A (RPA2) (i.e., primary DDR factors) was detected in HGD and in cancers; these increased expression levels were closely correlated with high expression of Ki67 and minichromosome maintenance complex component 7 (MCM7) proteins. Moreover, genomic mutations in TP53 gene were detected in 56.67% of the evaluated cases (17/30) using next-generation sequencing, and positive staining was verified in HGD and in cancers. Statistical analysis revealed that cell proliferation closely correlated with the expression of DDR factors, of which TP53BP1 was positively associated with SASP factors and IRF3 was positively correlated with cell proliferation. In addition, an analysis evaluating clinical features demonstrated that STAT6-positive cases showed a longer progression-free survival time than STAT6-negative cases. Our evaluation, conducted using a limited number of specimens, suggests SASP may be prevalent in early gastric neoplastic lesions and could be activated by accelerated cell proliferation-induced DDR. The clinical significance of SASP still needs to be determined.

Manpixiao Decoction Halted the Malignant Transformation of Precancerous Lesions of Gastric Cancer: From Network Prediction to In-Vivo Verification. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:927731. [PMID: 35991884 PMCID: PMC9389883 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.927731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Manpixiao decoction (MPX), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, is mainly used to improve the gastric mucosal pathology and stomach discomfort in patients with gastric precancerous lesions. Precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (PLGC) refers to intestinal metaplasia and/or dysplasia based on gastric mucosal atrophy. Effective prevention and treatment of PLGC is of great significance to reduce the incidence of gastric cancer. Because of the complexity of the etiology and pathogenesis of PLGC, there is no unified and effective treatment plan in western medicine. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has shown obvious advantages in the treatment of PLGC and the prevention of its further progression to gastric cancer, relying on its multi-approach and multi-target comprehensive intervention characteristics. This study is designed to examine the protective effect of MPX against PLGC and further to reveal the engaged mechanism via integrating network pharmacology and in vivo experimental evidence. Network pharmacology results demonstrated that inflammation, immune responses, and angiogenesis might be associated with the efficacy of MPX in the treatment of PLGC, in which the PI3K-Akt, cellular senescence, P53 and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum were involved. Then, we established a rat model of PLGC using a combination of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), sodium salicylate, irregular fasting, and ranitidine, and observed the effects after MPX treatment. Our result showed that MPX improved the pathological condition of gastric mucosa in PLGC rats and reduced the incidence of gastric cancer. Next, the analysis of serum inflammatory cytokines showed that MPX reduced the inflammation-related cytokines (such as IL-1α, IL-7, CSF-1, and CSF-3) in the serum. Additionally, MPX also had a regulation effect on the “protein/protein phosphorylation-signaling pathway” network in the core region of the PLGC rats. It is showed that MPX can inhibit the phosphorylation of PI3K-AKT, and downregulates the EGFR, β-catenin, and N-cadherin protein levels. These results indicate that MPX halted the PLGC progression through inhibiting EGFR-PI3K-AKT related epithelial-mesenchymal transition process.

Abstract
BackgroundChronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) can progress to gastric cancer (GC) thus requiring endoscopic surveillance. Here, we analyze various aspects of CAG progression, time, and mucosal background, to guide reasonable surveillance.MethodsCAG patients with three or more endoscopies from 2010–2021 were included. All cases were analyzed for rate and time of progression, and cases with operative link on gastritis assessment (OLGA) staging, operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) staging, and Kimura-Takemoto classification were further analyzed. Additional investigation of guideline-defined low-risk patients by reviewing endoscopy in the short-term (1–2 years) after baseline identified several patients as high-risk.ResultsNinety-seven (10.4%) of the 929 CAG patients progressed to low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), or GC, during the observation period of 36–129 months (median 53, IQR=24), including 75 (8.1%) cases of LGIN, eight (0.9%) of HGIN, and 14 (1.5%) of GC. Among 170 patients with OLGA/OLGIM at baseline, two (2/2, 100%) GC cases occurred in patients with OLGA/OLGIM III and IV. Of the 236 patients with Kimura-Takemoto classification at baseline, 5/7 (71.4%) cases of GC occurred in patients with C3–O3. Ten, 11, and 25 patients classified as low-risk on the European, British, and Chinese Guidelines, underwent additional endoscopy within 1–2 years, resulting in three (30.0%), four (36.4%), and eight (32.0%) patients being classified as high-risk on these guidelines, respectively.ConclusionA minority of CAG patients can progress to GC. OLGA/OLGIM III and IV staging are closely associated with progression. Disease-associated risk may be underestimated in one-third of patients classified as low-risk by initial endoscopy.

Association Between Family History of Gastric Cancer and the Risk of Gastric Cancer and Adenoma: A Nationwide Population-Based Study. Am J Gastroenterol 2022; 117:1255-1263. [PMID: 35613561 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A family history of gastric cancer (GC) is a well-known risk factor for GC. However, the association between family history of GC and the risk of GC and gastric adenoma according to the affected family members is unclear. METHODS We analyzed the data of participants aged ≥40 years who underwent national GC screening between 2013 and 2014. Participants with and without a family history of GC among first-degree relatives were matched by age and sex in a 1:4 ratio. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.9 years, 0.96% and 0.46% of 896,721 participants with a family history of GC and 0.65% and 0.32% of 3,586,884 participants without a family history of GC developed GC and gastric adenoma, respectively. A family history of GC among any first-degree relative was a risk factor for GC (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.48, 95% confidence interval 1.45-1.52) and gastric adenoma (HR 1.44, 95% confidence interval 1.39-1.50). The HRs for GC and gastric adenoma were higher in participants with a family history of GC in parents and siblings (2.26 and 2.19, respectively) than in those with a family history of GC in parents only (1.40 and 1.41, respectively) or siblings only (1.59 and 1.47, respectively). The HRs for GC in participants with vs without a family history of GC were 1.62, 1.55, and 1.42 in the 40-49, 50-59, and ≥60 years' age groups of participants, respectively. Similarly, the HRs for gastric adenoma increased with decreasing age of participants. DISCUSSION A family history of GC was a risk factor for both GC and gastric adenoma. The risk of GC and gastric adenoma of the participants was higher when both parents and siblings had GC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has a good prognosis, if detected at an early stage. The intestinal subtype of GC follows a stepwise progression to carcinoma, which is treatable with early detection and intervention using high-quality endoscopy. Premalignant lesions and gastric epithelial polyps are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Surveillance of patients with premalignant gastric lesions may aid in early diagnosis of GC, and thus improve chances of survival. An expert professional workgroup was formed to summarise the current evidence and provide recommendations on the management of patients with gastric premalignant lesions in Singapore. Twenty-five recommendations were made to address screening and surveillance, strategies for detection and management of gastric premalignant lesions, management of gastric epithelial polyps, and pathological reporting of gastric premalignant lesions.

Comparison of Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation and Argon Plasma Coagulation in Patients with Gastric Low-Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia: A Large-Scale Retrospective Study. Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 2022:2349940. [PMID: 35782636 PMCID: PMC9242788 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2349940] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) is a precancerous lesion of gastric cancer. Endoscopic therapies represented by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) have been applied to treat gastric LGIN in recent years. However, no comparative study examining the effectiveness and safety profiles of RFA and APC has been reported. METHODS A single-center, large-scale, retrospective study, including 73 and 50 patients treated with RFA and APC, respectively, was conducted in the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from October 2015 to October 2020, with a two-year follow-up. Effectiveness, complications, operative factors, and other data were assessed. RESULTS At 2 years of follow-up, cure, relapse, recurrence, and progression rates were 90.4%, 9.6%, 9.6%, and 2.7% in the RFA group, respectively, versus 90%, 10%, 12%, and 4% in the APC group, respectively, with no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all p > 0.05). However, the mean lesion size was significantly larger in the RFA group (2.6 ± 1.0 cm) than in the APC group (1.5 ± 0.6 cm) (p < 0.001); there was also a significant difference in the composition ratio of large lesions between the two groups (p < 0.001). No serious postoperative complications showed in either group, and the abdominal pain was the most common symptom in the short term after surgery. CONCLUSIONS RFA and APC are both safe and effective destructive therapies for gastric LGIN. RFA is more suitable for flat and large lesions, while APC is more suitable for small lesions, especially those with slight local uplift or depression. An intraoperative submucosal injection is expected to be an effective method for relieving postoperative abdominal pain.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been reported in the treatment of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN). However, its efficacy and prognostic risk factors have not been well analyzed.
AIM To explore the efficacy and prognostic risk factors of RFA for gastric LGIN in a large, long-term follow-up clinical study.
METHODS The clinical data of 271 consecutive cases from 198 patients who received RFA for treatment of gastric LGIN at the Chinese PLA General Hospital from October 2014 to October 2020 were reviewed in this retrospective study. Data on operative parameters, complications, and follow-up outcomes including curative rates were recorded and analyzed.
RESULTS The curative rates of endoscopic RFA for gastric LGIN at 3 mo, 6 mo, and 1-5 years after the operation were 93.3%, 92.8%, 91.5%, 90.3%, 88.5%, 85.7%, and 83.3%, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and disease duration > 1 year had a significant effect on the curative rate (P < 0.001 and P = 0.013, respectively). None of patients had bleeding, perforation, infection, or other serious complications after RFA, and the main discomfort was postoperative abdominal pain.
CONCLUSION RFA was safe and effective for gastric LGIN during long-term follow-up. H. pylori infection and disease course > 1 year may be the main risk factors for relapse of LGIN after RFA.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma develops after stepwise progression from normal mucosa through to adenocarcinoma most commonly after being triggered by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. As disease is often diagnosed late, the prognosis for gastric adenocarcinoma is poor. Identifying pre-malignant mucosal lesions such as atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia is one strategy adopted by clinicians to reduce cancer related mortality. Surveillance of high-risk individuals and endoscopic resection of dysplastic lesions is recommended by international and UK guidelines. The early detection and endoscopic management reduce the need for invasive surgery. The advancement of image enhanced endoscopy technology, endoscopic training, risk stratification and histological assessment has proven pivotal to the management of pre-malignant lesions. In this review we outline the development of a high-risk stomach, endoscopic assessment and review practical guidelines on identifying pre-malignant gastric mucosa.

Abstract
Aim.The clinical guidelines are intended to supplement specialty decision-making for improved aid quality in patients with gastritis and duodenitis though acknowledging the latest clinical evidence and principles of evidencebased medicine.Key points.Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of stomach mucosa, with a separate definition of acute and chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is a cohort of chronic diseases uniting a typical morphology of persistent inflammatory infiltration, impaired cellular renewal with emergent intestinal metaplasia, atrophy and epithelial dysplasia of gastric mucosa. Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) or high-resolution OGDS with magnified or non-magnified virtual chromoendoscopy, including targeted biopsy for atrophy and intestinal metaplasia grading and neoplasia detection, are recommended to verify gastritis and duodenitis, precancer states and/or gastric mucosal changes. All chronic gastritis patients positive for H. рylori should undergo eradication therapy as aetiological and subsidiary for gastric cancer prevention. Chronic gastritis patients with symptoms of dyspepsia (epigastric pain, burning and congestion, early satiety), also combined with functional dyspepsia, are recommended proton pump inhibitors, prokinetics, rebamipide and bismuth tripotassium dicitrate in symptomatic treatment. With focal restricted intestinal metaplasia, follow-up is not required in most cases, mainly when advanced atrophic gastritis is ruled out in high-quality endoscopy with biopsy. However, a familial history of gastric cancer, incomplete intestinal metaplasia and persistent H. pylori infection render endoscopy monitoring with chromoendoscopy and targeted biopsy desirable once in three years. Patients with advanced atrophic gastritis should have high-quality endoscopy every 3 years, and once in 1–2 years if complicated with a familial history of gastric cancer.Conclusion.The recommendations condense current knowledge on the aetiology and pathogenesis of gastritis and duodenitis, as well as laboratory and instrumental diagnostic techniques, main approaches to aetiological H. pylori eradication and treatment of dyspeptic states.

Abstract
Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs in circulating exosomes are a new class of promising cancer biomarkers; however, their expression in exosomes derived from gastric high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (GHGIN) has not been reported. In the present study, differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs were analyzed in the peripheral blood collected from 5 patients with GHGIN and 5 healthy donors using high-throughput sequencing. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed on 6 randomly selected DE lncRNAs to validate the reliability of the sequencing results. The potential roles of the DE lncRNAs in GHGIN were investigated using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. A total of 25,145 lncRNAs were identified in all the samples and 83 DE lncRNAs were further screened, including 76 upregulated and 7 downregulated DE lncRNAs. GO and KEGG analyses predicted that the DE lncRNAs played notable roles in ‘protein/macromolecule glycosylation’, ‘regulation of protein ubiquitination’, ‘renin-angiotensin system’ and ‘MAPK signaling pathways’. A lncRNA-micro (mi)RNA-mRNA interaction network was constructed and used to perform association analyses. It was found that 83 lncRNAs were abnormally expressed in GHGIN, with some potential functions associated with gastric cancer. Furthermore, the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction network indicated that 7 DE lncRNAs may play a notable role in the occurrence and development of GHGIN. The results of the present study showed the expression profiles of lncRNAs in human GHGIN, elucidated some of the molecular changes associated with GHGIN and improved the understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying GHGIN and gastric cancer.

Gastric Adenoma: A High Incidence Rate of Developing Carcinoma and Risk of Metachronous Gastric Cancer according to Long-Term Follow-Up. Digestion 2021; 102:878-886. [PMID: 33839721 DOI: 10.1159/000515213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gastric adenomas are histologically defined as benign epithelial tumors. While some of them remain adenomas for a long time, others progress to carcinomas. However, long-term outcomes of such cases are not entirely clear. Here, we explored the risk factors and incidence of developing carcinoma from gastric adenoma as well as metachronous gastric cancer. METHODS This study was conducted at a facility that adopted a follow-up strategy for gastric adenoma. Lesions histologically diagnosed as gastric intestinal-type adenomas between January 2004 and December 2016 were analyzed. Clinicopathological data were collected from patients' medical records, and histological changes from adenoma to carcinoma during endoscopic follow-up and risk factors of cancer development were evaluated. RESULTS This study involved 409 lesions from 376 patients. The analysis of the development of gastric cancer from adenoma and metachronous gastric cancer was ultimately performed for 282 lesions from 258 patients and 269 lesions from 246 patients, respectively, due to different follow-up periods. The 5-year rate of carcinoma development was 34.0%. Risk factors for carcinoma development upon multivariate analysis were lesion size ≥15 mm and morphological depression. All cases with both factors developed gastric carcinoma, and 50.5% of those with either factor developed carcinoma within 5 years. Gastric adenoma was accompanied by metachronous gastric cancer in 1.5% of the patients annually. The only risk factor for metachronous gastric carcinoma was primary adenoma progressing to carcinoma during the follow-up period. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Given the high rate of carcinoma development in patients with risk factors, resection of gastric adenoma should be considered during the initial examination. Careful observation and follow-up should also be conducted to detect not only changes in the primary adenoma but also the occurrence of metachronous carcinoma, especially in cases of adenoma progressing to carcinoma.

Abstract
Gastric dysplasia signifies the presence of atypical cells in the gastric mucosa, which have not invaded beyond the lamina propria, and it rarely leads to tissue growth large enough to cause gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) to the gastric contents. However, GOO is commonly observed as a first clinical manifestation of advanced invasive gastric cancer in developing countries where patients seek medical care late. The present case highlights the treatment journey of a young woman who presented to us with features of GOO. Her endoscopic and radiological findings revealed a nodular gastric antral thickening causing GOO. An endoscopic biopsy showed features of dysplasia. She underwent distal gastrectomy following discussion in a multidisciplinary tumour board. Histopathological examination of the gastrectomy specimen confirmed dysplasia without any invasion beyond lamina. To the best of our knowledge, this is perhaps the first report of dysplasia of the stomach presenting as GOO.

Abstract
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early identification of precancerous lesions has been shown to minimize the incidence of GI cancers and substantiate the vital role of screening endoscopy. However, unlike GI cancers, precancerous lesions in the upper GI tract can be subtle and difficult to detect. Artificial intelligence techniques, especially deep learning algorithms with convolutional neural networks, might help endoscopists identify the precancerous lesions and reduce interobserver variability. In this review, a systematic literature search was undertaken of the Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Embase, with an emphasis on the deep learning-based diagnosis of precancerous lesions in the upper GI tract. The status of deep learning algorithms in upper GI precancerous lesions has been systematically summarized. The challenges and recommendations targeting this field are comprehensively analyzed for future research.

Abstract
Radical resection with or without adjuvant chemotherapy is a common option for stage II and III colorectal cancer. Few reports exist regarding gastric tumorigenesis, including gastric cancer, gastric intraepithelial neoplasia, and gastric stromal tumor, in patients who received this protocol as the standard treatment for colorectal cancer. We present two cases of gastric tumorigenesis in patients with colorectal cancer following radical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy. Both patients underwent gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy for their gastric tumors; neither patient developed recurrence up to 2 years after treatment. These cases indicate that patients should be monitored closely for gastric tumorigenesis after treatment for colorectal cancer. Early detection and active surgical treatment can provide satisfactory results for colorectal cancer followed by gastric tumorigenesis. Long-term follow-up and regular examinations, especially gastroscopy, are necessary to detect gastric tumorigenesis after colorectal cancer. The focus on monitoring colorectal cancer alone in colorectal cancer patients should be changed to include a broader range of cancers in addition to precancers and other tumors, such as gastric stromal tumor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was performed to compare the differences between preoperative endoscopic biopsy (PEB) and postoperative pathological examination (PPE) for diagnosis of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN). METHODS From September 2016 to July 2019, 188 consecutive patients with GIN at Yuyao People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The 188 patients had 218 GIN lesions. All patients underwent PEB and either endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgical treatment. PPE was performed on pathological tissues that had been surgically removed. RESULTS Among 138 cases of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) diagnosed by PEB, 46 were upgraded to high-grade dysplasia (HGD), 20 were upgraded to early gastric cancer (EGC), and 2 were downgraded to inflammation after PPE. Among 42 cases of HGD, 23 were upgraded to EGC, 2 were downgraded to LGD, and 2 were downgraded to inflammation after PPE. Among 38 cases of EGC, 1 was downgraded to HGD and 2 were downgraded to LGD after PPE. The original diagnosis was maintained after the operation in 120 cases of GIN. CONCLUSION Biopsy did not fully reflect the lesions of GIN. Biopsy review should be actively performed, and the lesions should be clarified by endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgery.

Abstract
Background and Aim There are no globally approved, distinguishing criteria enabling the classification of gastric adenomas and intramucosal carcinomas for differential diagnosis of noninvasive neoplasia (NIN). Methods Next‐generation sequencing of 50 cancer‐related genes was undertaken on 68 pathologically diagnosed microdissected gastric neoplasms (25 adenomas, 27 intramucosal carcinomas, and 16 submucosal carcinomas) obtained during endoscopic submucosal dissection. Findings from magnifying endoscopy with narrow‐band imaging (M‐NBI) of 52 NINs (the 25 adenomas and 27 intramucosal carcinomas) were compared with these data. Results Among all 68 neoplasms, the most frequently mutated genes were APC (76% in adenoma, 11.1% in intramucosal carcinoma, and 0% in submucosal carcinoma; P < 0.001) and TP53 in intramucosal and submucosal carcinomas (8% in adenoma, 48.1% in intramucosal carcinoma, and 75% in submucosal carcinoma; P < 0.001). Dividing the NIN neoplasms into five groups according to their mutational status (A1: APC mutation, A2: APC + α mutation, B: APC + TP53 mutation, C: TP53 mutation, D: no mutation in either APC or TP53) resulted in almost identical diagnoses by pathology and M‐NBI for groups A1 (12/13, 92%), C (12/13, 92%), and D (16/17, 94%) but not for groups A2 (3/7, 43%) or B (0/2, 0%). This finding implies that NINs with the APC + α mutation have carcinoma‐like endoscopic features despite most being judged as adenomas by pathology. Conclusion A diagnosis of NINs by pathology or M‐NBI in the subset of gastric tumors classified by cancer‐related mutations is not completely identical, suggesting the possible additional role of M‐NBI in diagnosing NINs. Further studies are needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Introducción. Para establecer una frecuencia de seguimiento como método de tamización en cáncer gástrico, se propone la endoscopia en pacientes mayores de 35 años con síntomas de dispepsia, y en pacientes mayores de 40 años con alto riesgo. La demora en la realización de la primera endoscopia en la vida de un paciente incrementa el riesgo de no detectar lesiones premalignas ni cáncer potencialmente prevenible.
Los objetivos de nuestro estudio fueron describir el número de pacientes mayores de 40 años con endoscopia de primera vez y evaluar la presencia de lesiones premalignas y malignas del estómago en pacientes sin tamización.
Métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de base de datos. Se describieron hallazgos de informes de histopatología en pacientes mayores de 40 años (lesiones premalignas y malignas).

Abstract
AIMS Gastric dysplasia is a risk factor for synchronous and subsequent gastric carcinoma. Distinguishing gastric dysplasia from reactive changes is subject to interobserver disagreement and is a frequent reason for expert consultation. We previously used assessment of surface cell polarity (the 'four lines') as a key feature to decrease equivocal diagnoses in Barrett oesophagus. In the current study, we examined for the presence or absence of the four lines in gastric dysplasia and reactive gastropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study includes all (n = 91) in-house biopsies with at least gastric dysplasia from the surgical pathology archives of two academic institutions during a 5-year period from 2008 to 2012. A reactive gastropathy group (n = 60) was created for comparison. RESULTS The dysplasia/neoplasia group was comprised of 14 biopsies of gastric foveolar-type dysplasia, 59 of intestinal-type dysplasia, 14 with dysplasia in fundic gland polyps, three pyloric gland adenomas and one oxyntic gland adenoma. Loss of surface cell polarity was seen in all 88 dysplasia cases with evaluable surface epithelium. All 57 reactive gastropathy cases with evaluable surface epithelium showed intact surface cell polarity except in focal areas directly adjacent to erosions in 17 cases, where the thin wisp of residual surface mucin could not be appreciated on haematoxylin and eosin. CONCLUSION Surface cell polarity (the four lines) was lost in all gastric dysplasia biopsies with evaluable surface epithelium and maintained in all biopsies of reactive gastropathy. Caution should be taken in using this feature adjacent to erosions in reactive gastropathy.

Gastroenterology 2020; 159:1444-1458.e15.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Activity of nuclear factor κB transcription factors and signaling via signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) are frequently altered in gastric cancer cells. Mice lacking NFKB1 (Nfkb1-/- mice) develop invasive gastric cancer, and their gastric tissues have increased levels of cytokines, such as interleukin (IL) 6, IL22, IL11, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), as well as increased activation of STAT1. We investigated whether these cytokines were required for STAT1 activation in gastric tissues of mice and critical for gastric tumorigenesis. METHODS We crossed Nfkb1-/- mice with Il6-/-, Il22-/-, Il11Rα-/-, and Tnf-/- mice. Stomach tissues from compound mutant mice were analyzed by histology, immunoblotting, and RNA sequencing. Lymphoid, myeloid, and epithelial cells were isolated from stomachs, and the levels of cytokines were determined by flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS Nfkb1-/- mice developed gastritis, oxyntic atrophy, gastric dysplasia, and invasive tumors, whereas Nfkb1-/-Stat1-/- mice did not, even when followed for as long as 2 years. The levels of Il6, Il11, Il22, and Tnf messenger RNA were increased in the body and antrum of the stomachs from Nfkb1-/- mice, from 3-6 months of age. However, Nfkb1-/-Il6-/-, Nfkb1-/-Il22-/-, and Nfkb1-/-Il11Rα-/- mice still developed gastric tumors, although the absence of IL11 receptor (IL11R) significantly reduced development of invasive gastric tumors. Stomachs from Nfkb1-/-Tnf-/- mice exhibited significantly less gastritis and oxyntic atrophy and fewer tumors than Nfkb1-/- mice. This correlated with reduced activation of STAT1 and STAT3 and fewer numbers of T cells and B cells infiltrating the gastric body. Loss of STAT1 or TNF significantly reduced expression of PD-L1 on epithelial and myeloid (CD11b+) cells in the gastric mucosa of Nfkb1-/- mice-indeed, to the levels observed on the corresponding cells from wild-type mice. CONCLUSIONS In studies of gastric tumor development in knockout mice, we found that loss of NFKB1 causes increased expression of TNF in the stomach and thereby drives activation of STAT1, resulting in an inflammatory immune response and the development of gastric cancer. IL11R appears to be required for the progression of gastric tumors to the invasive stage. These findings suggest that inhibitors of TNF, and possibly also inhibitors of IL11/IL11Rα, might be useful in the treatment of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Almost all East Asian strains and 60% of Western H. pylori strains are of cagA +. The infected patients develop a more pronounced inflammation with ulceration of stomach, and also are under a higher risk of development of cancer.Objective: to improve the informative value of dysplasia diagnosis by combining white light endoscopy with chromoscopy, supplemented by target brush biopsy with cytological examination.Methods and materials: for the period from 2016 to 2018, the study included 41 patients undergoing examination and treatment of chronic gastritis. The analyzed cases included 16 (39%) men and 25 (61%) women. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 86 years. All patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, chromoendoscopy with 0.5% methylene blue, brush biopsy (scraping with a nylon brush). At least two brush preparations were obtained: body of the stomach, antrum, scraping was also made on the surface of erosions and areas of atypical structure of the epithelium. Brush preparations were sent for cytological examination. Results: esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed erosions in 37 (90.2%) patients, in 6 cases (14.6%) among them spontaneous bleeding was determined. In 23 (56%) patients visual signs of atrophic gastritis were noted. Cylindrical epithelium of the intestinal type was revealed in 25 patients (61%) using methylene blue.The cytological examination of the brush preparation showed proliferation of the integumentary epithelium with signs of mild dysplasia in all cases, intestinal metaplasia was revealed in 27 patients (65.8%), H. Pylori was confirmed in 38 patients (92.6%).Conclusion: chromoscopy and brush biopsy are simple and affordable methods, and their integration into routine endoscopy increases the informative value of the study, namely, allows detection of precancerous lesions of mucosa.

Abstract
Background: Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a common malignant tumor. Recently, it has been found that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important role in cancer. In this paper, we investigated the effects and mechanism of lncRNA GASL1 in GC cells. Methods: GASL1 level in GC cells was up-regulated via cell transfection. Cell proliferation, migration, invasion were detected by CCK-8, BrdU, Transwell assays and western blot. In addition, the regulation of GASL1 on microRNA (miR)-106a level was detected using RT-qPCR and the binding between GASL1 and miR-106a was confirmed by bioinformatic prediction and luciferase reporter assay. The effects of overexpressing miR-106a on GASL1-regulated GC cell behaviors were further explored. Moreover, western blot also was used to detect the pathway-related proteins. Results: Overexpression of GASL1 decreased the viability and BrdU levels. Meanwhile, CyclinD1 level was decreased while p53 and p21 levels were strengthened by overexpression of GASL1. On cell metastasis, up-regulation of GASL1 decreased cell migration, invasion and related proteins matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and Vimentin levels. Meanwhile, silencing GASL1 exerted opposite effects on GC cells. Moreover, GASL1 negatively regulated and targeted miR-106a. Up-regulation of miR-106a weakened the functions of GASL1 in cell proliferation and metastasis. Besides, GASL1 decreased the relate-protein levels of PI3K/AKT and ras/raf/MEK/ERK pathways while miR-106a weakened these changes. ConclusionGASL1 restrained GC cell proliferation and metastasis and blocked PI3K/AKT and ras/raf/MEK/ERK pathways by sponging miR-106a.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is precancerous with a worldwide prevalence of 25%. Eradicating Helicobacter pylori prevented about half of gastric cancers; failure to prevent the rest was attributed to GIM. GIM is irreversible and often extensive. There is no treatment. Existing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is designed to treat early gastric cancer of usually <2 cm. We designed a two-endoscope technique of EMR for extensive lesions such as GIM. METHODS Forty patients with histologically confirmed moderate to severe GIM (operative link on GIM [OLGIM] classification) received the treatment in a daycare center. Chromoendoscopy with methylene blue was first performed to indicate the GIM. Submucosal saline injections were used to lift the stained mucosa to form multiple safety cushions, which were transformed into artificial polyps by suction and ligation, using a cap familiar to gastroenterologists for ligation of esophageal varices. EMRs were then achieved by snare polypectomy. By rotating two gastroscopes, one was designated to perform lift and snare and the other to perform suction and ligation; cycles of lift-ligate-snare were performed until all stained mucosa was removed. Assessment chromoendoscopy with ≥seven biopsies was performed at 6 months. RESULTS A total of 227 EMRs were performed, with a median of 3.5 per patient. Bleeding was uncommon and minimal. Gastric perforation ascribable to loss of a safety cushion occurred in one patient. Chromoendoscopy at 6 months in 36 willing patients showed no recurrence of GIM. CONCLUSION The two-endoscope technique of EMR for GIM was essentially safe and effective, with no recurrence at 6 months. It could be performed by endoscopists with standard skills.

Abstract
Aim Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In-depth research of precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma (PLGC) with malignant transformation potential is a key measure to prevent the development of gastric carcinoma. Recently, calycosin has been shown to have anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo. The molecular mechanism by which calycosin affects PLGC, however, has not yet been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect and mechanism of calycosin in N‐methyl‐Nʹ‐nitro‐N‐nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced PLGC rats. Methods The effects of calycosin in the gastric mucosa of rats with PLGC were evaluated using histopathology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For further characterization, the expression levels of integrin β1, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), p-NF-κB, DARPP-32 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were determined by Western blot assay and immunohistochemistry. Results Hematoxylin–eosin and high iron diamine–Alcian blue–periodic acid-Schiff (HID-AB-PAS) staining showed that intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia were significantly ameliorated in the calycosin intervention groups compared with the model group. Further, TEM results showed that calycosin intervention tempered microvascular abnormalities and cell morphology of primary and parietal cells in PLGC tissues. The results suggested that calycosin had gastro-protective effects in MNNG-induced PLGC rats. Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the increased protein expression levels of NF-κB, p-NF-κB, DARPP-32 and STAT3 in the model group were downregulated by calycosin. The upregulation of integrin β1 expression induced by MNNG was decreased in the calycosin groups. Conclusion Collectively, calycosin protected against gastric mucosal injury in part via regulation of the integrin β1/NF-κB/DARPP-32 pathway and suppressed the expression of STAT3 in PLGC. The elucidation of this effect and mechanism of calycosin in PLGC provides a potential therapeutic strategy for treatment of gastric precancerous lesions.

Analysis of factors associated with local recurrence after endoscopic resection of gastric epithelial dysplasia: a retrospective study. BMC Gastroenterol 2020; 20:148.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are widely used techniques for the treatment of gastric epithelial dysplasia. Previous studies have compared the clinical outcome of endoscopic resection for early gastric cancer, but few studies have focused on gastric dysplasia alone. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term prognosis following endoscopic procedures for gastric epithelial dysplasia, investigate differences in local recurrence rates according to the treatment modality, and identify risk factors associated with local recurrence. Methods In this retrospective study, local recurrence rates and risk factors associated with local recurrence were compared between 599 patients who underwent EMR and 306 who underwent ESD for gastric epithelial dysplasia from January 2011 to December 2015. Results The en bloc resection rate (32.2% vs. 100%, p < 0.001) and complete resection rate (94.8% vs. 99.0%, p = 0.003) were significantly lower in the EMR group than in the ESD group. The local recurrence rate was significantly lower in the ESD group (1.3%) than in the EMR group (4.2%; p = 0.026). There was a significantly increased risk of local recurrence, regardless of lesion location or histologic grade, in patients with lesions > 2 cm (p = 0.002) or red in color (p = 0.03). The ESD group had a significantly lower local recurrence rate, with a higher complete resection rate, than that in the EMR group (p < 0.05). In the case of recurrence after endoscopic resection, most of the recurred lesions were removed through additional endoscopic procedures; there was no difference between the two groups (p = 0.153). Conclusions The complete resection rate was significantly higher, and the local recurrence rate was significantly lower, in patients with gastric epithelial dysplasia treated with ESD. Therefore, ESD should be considered the preferred treatment in patients with lesions > 2 cm or showing redness due to an increased risk of local recurrence and EMR may be possible for low-grade dysplasia that is less than 2 cm without surface changes such as redness, depression and nodularity.

Abstract
Gastric precancerous lesions (GPLs) are an essential precursor in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer, known to be one of the most common and lethal cancers worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a positive prospect for the prevention and therapy of GPL owing to several advantages including a definite curative effect, fewer side effects compared to other treatments, multiple components, and holistic regulation. Despite these characteristic advantages, the mechanisms of TCM in treating GPL have not been fully elucidated. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge with respect to herbal formulations and the therapeutic mechanisms of TCM active ingredients for GPL. This paper elaborates on the mechanisms of TCM underlying the prevention and treatment of GPL, specifically those that are linked to anti-H. pylori, anti-inflammation, antiproliferation, proapoptotic, antioxidation, antiglycolytic, and antiangiogenesis effects.

Abstract
Background/Aims The rate of nonneoplastic pathology (NNP) after endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric epithelial neoplasia (GEN) has been reported to be 3%–7%. However, to date, the associations of pretreatment characteristics with NNP have not been identified. The aim of this study was to develop a predictive model for NNP after ER. Methods Among 817 patients who underwent ER for GEN, factors associated with NNP were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses. Weighted points considering the β coefficient were allocated to each variable that was significant in the multivariate analysis. The predictive score was calculated by the total points. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated for the predictive score. Results The rate of NNP was 8.8%. After multivariate analysis, poor demarcation from the background, no ulceration, a flat appearance, and low-grade dysplasia were significant factors predictive of NNP. One point each was allocated for no ulcer, flat appearance, and low-grade dysplasia. Two points were allocated for poor demarcation from the background. The predictive score ranged from 0 to 5 points. Patients were categorized as being at low risk (0, 1, or 2 points) or high risk (3, 4, or 5 points) for NNP. The AUROC was 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.77 to 0.88; p<0.01). With a cutoff value of 2.5, the sensitivity and specificity of the score for predicting NNP were 0.72 and 0.84, respectively. Conclusions We developed a model to predict NNP after ER. Endoscopic re-biopsy or re-evaluation by pathologists is strongly recommended for the high-risk group.

[PMID: 32062113 PMCID: PMC7016345 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2020.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Revised: 12/26/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Anemia & Weight Regain are possible signs of Gastrogastric fistula post RYGB. Preventive Gastrectomy is indicated in presence of Dysplasia in the Gastric Remnant. Orogastric Tube Stapling can be immediately detected or discovered years after RYGB. A series of protocols should be respected to avoid Orogastric Tube Stapling.
Background Gastro-Gastric Fistula is a rare but potentially serious complication of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Orogastric tube stapling is an adverse bariatric surgery iatrogenic complication that surgeons should be aware of and that has rarely been described. Clinical case A 51-year-old patient, operated in our University Hospital Center of a Gastric Bypass 3 years ago, presented on consultation with anemia and weight regain (BMI 36). An upper Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy showed a Gastro-Gastric Fistula and visualized the tip of a Faucher tube fixed in the blind pouch and an erosive ulceration on the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Multiple biopsies showed a low-grade dysplasia in the remnant stomach. A subtotal gastrectomy was performed with refashioning of the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Discussion Anemia and weight regain, with or without the association of marginal ulcers are the most common signs of Gastro-Gastric Fistula after Gastric Bypass (1–6%). Surgical treatment remains the standard of care and should be tailored to the size and location of the fistula and the status of the gastrojejunal anastomosis. Orogastric tube perioperative complications are rare occurrences during bariatric surgery and not reported at a later stage. They can be associated with significant morbidity. Prevention strategies must be taken and standardized to prevent such events. Conclusion The surgical option remains the standard of treatment and can be performed safely in Gastro-Gastric Fistula Type II. Orogastric tube accidental complications should be identified preferably perioperatively and measures of prevention should be implied to avoid such events.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasias in the digestive tract and is the result of premalignant lesion progression in the majority of cases. Opportune detection of those lesions is relevant, given that timely treatment offers the possibility of cure. There is no consensus in Mexico on the early detection of gastric cancer, and therefore, the Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología brought together a group of experts and produced the "Mexican consensus on the detection and treatment of early gastric cancer" to establish useful recommendations for the medical community. The Delphi methodology was employed, and 38 recommendations related to early gastric cancer were formulated. The consensus defines early gastric cancer as that which at diagnosis is limited to the mucosa and submucosa, irrespective of lymph node metástasis. In Mexico, as in other parts of the world, factors associated with early gastric cancer include Helicobacter pylori infection, a family history of the disease, smoking, and diet. Chromoendoscopy, magnification endoscopy, and equipment-based image-enhanced endoscopy are recommended for making the diagnosis, and accurate histopathologic diagnosis is invaluable for making therapeutic decisions. The endoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer, whether dissection or resection of the mucosa, should be preferred to surgical management, when similar oncologic cure results can be obtained. Endoscopic surveillance should be individualized.

Muc5ac null mice are predisposed to spontaneous gastric antro-pyloric hyperplasia and adenomas coupled with attenuated H. pylori-induced corpus mucous metaplasia. J Transl Med 2019; 99:1887-1905. [PMID: 31399638 PMCID: PMC6927550 DOI: 10.1038/s41374-019-0293-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Revised: 06/04/2019] [Accepted: 06/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and is strongly associated with chronic Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection. The ability of Hp to closely adhere to the gastric surface protective mucous layer containing mucins (MUC in humans and Muc in animals), primarily Muc5ac, is integral in the stepwise pathogenesis from gastritis to cancer. To probe the role of Muc5ac in Hp-induced gastric pathology, Muc5ac-/- and Muc5ac+/+ (WT) mice were experimentally infected with Hp Sydney strain (SS1). At 16 weeks and 32 weeks post infection (wpi), groups of mice were euthanized and evaluated for the following: gastric histopathological parameters, immunohistochemical expression of mucins (Muc5ac, Muc1, Muc2), Trefoil factor family proteins (Tff1 and Tff2), Griffonia (Bandeiraea) simplicifolia lectin II (GSL II) (mucous metaplasia marker) and Clusterin (Spasmolytic Polypeptide Expressing Metaplasia (SPEM) marker), Hp colonization density by qPCR and gastric cytokine mRNA levels. Our results demonstrate that Muc5ac-/- mice developed spontaneous antro-pyloric proliferation, adenomas and in one case with neuroendocrine differentiation; these findings were independent of Hp infection along with strong expression levels of Tff1, Tff2 and Muc1. Hp-infected Muc5ac-/- mice had significantly lowered gastric corpus mucous metaplasia at 16 wpi and 32 wpi (P = 0.0057 and P = 0.0016, respectively), with a slight reduction in overall gastric corpus pathology. GSII-positive mucous neck cells were decreased in Hp-infected Muc5ac-/- mice compared to WT mice and clusterin positivity was noted within metaplastic glands in both genotypes following Hp infection. Additionally, Hp colonization densities were significantly higher in Muc5ac-/- mice compared to WT at 16 wpi in both sexes (P = 0.05) along with a significant reduction in gastric Tnfα (16 wpi-males and females, P = 0.017 and P = 0.036, respectively and 32 wpi-males only, P = 0.025) and Il-17a (16 wpi-males) (P = 0.025). Taken together, our findings suggest a protective role for MUC5AC/Muc5ac in maintaining gastric antral equilibrium and inhibiting Hp colonization and associated inflammatory pathology.
