Abstract
INTRODUCTION Available intracystic biomarkers show a limited accuracy for characterizing cystic pancreatic lesions (CPL). Glucose is an attractive alternative due to its availability, low cost and the possibility of on-site quantification by glucometry. AIM To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of on-site glucometry from samples obtained by EUS-FNA in the differential diagnosis between mucinous from non-mucinous CPL. METHODS Retrospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study of patients who underwent EUS-FNA of a CPL. A derivation and a validation cohorts were evaluated. Intracystic glucose was quantified by on-site glucometry and colorimetry in the lab. Final diagnosis was based on surgical specimens or global evaluation of clinical and imaging data, cytology and intracystic CEA. Diagnostic accuracy was based on Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) curve analysis. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between on-site and lab glucose levels was calculated. RESULTS Seventy two patients were finally analysed (40 in the derivation cohort and 32 in the validation cohort). Intracystic glucose levels by on-site glucometry was 12.3 ± 28.2 mg/dl for mucinous CPL and 103.3 ± 58.2 mg/dl for non-mucinous CPL, p < 0.001. For an optimal cut-off point of 73 mg/dl, on-site glucose had a sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive value for the diagnosis of mucinous CPL of 0.89, 0.90, 0.94, 0.82 respectively in the derivation cohort, and 1.0, 0.71, 0.91, 1.0 respectively in the validation cohort. Correlation of on-site and lab glucose quantification was very high (ICC = 0.98). CONCLUSION On-site glucometry is a feasible, accurate and reproducible method for the characterization of CPL after EUS-FNA. It shows an excellent correlation with laboratory glucose values. Registration number: 2019/612.

Abstract
The overall objective of these guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related digestive disease in adults and children. IgG4-related digestive disease can be diagnosed only with a comprehensive work-up that includes histology, organ morphology at imaging, serology, search for other organ involvement, and response to glucocorticoid treatment. Indications for treatment are symptomatic patients with obstructive jaundice, abdominal pain, posterior pancreatic pain, and involvement of extra-pancreatic digestive organs, including IgG4-related cholangitis. Treatment with glucocorticoids should be weight-based and initiated at a dose of 0.6-0.8 mg/kg body weight/day orally (typical starting dose 30-40 mg/day prednisone equivalent) for 1 month to induce remission and then be tapered within two additional months. Response to initial treatment should be assessed at week 2-4 with clinical, biochemical and morphological markers. Maintenance treatment with glucocorticoids should be considered in multi-organ disease or history of relapse. If there is no change in disease activity and burden within 3 months, the diagnosis should be reconsidered. If the disease relapsed during the 3 months of treatment, immunosuppressive drugs should be added.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) as therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) improves the survival of a selected group of patients. Unfortunately, the progressive increase in waiting time for OLT may allow tumor progression. Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been proposed as neoadjuvant therapy for HCC in patients awaiting OLT, but its safety has not been defined. PATIENTS AND METHODS During a 60-month period, 34 patients (27 men, overall mean age of 58.5 years, range 41-67) with HCC, were listed for OLT. Ultrasonography-guided PEI was delivered into 39 nodules at 117 sessions on an inpatient basis. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients before PEI. Doppler-ultrasonography was done before PEI, immediately after, and 4 weeks later. Noninvasive monitoring of arterial pressure, cardiac rate, and temperature was performed during the procedure and during a 24-hour period after each session. Pain was considered significant if analgesia was required or discontinuation of PEI necessary. Fever was defined as a temperature > or =37.5 degrees C after PEI. RESULTS Minor complications included pain in 45 sessions (38.5%), fever in 17 (14.5%), arterial hypertension in 14 (12%), hypotension in 7 (7%), and vomiting in 2 (1.7%). The major complications were segmental liver infarction (n = 3), portal branch venous thrombosis (n = 2), ascites (n = 2), and one case each of subcapsular hematoma, duodenal ulcer, pneumonia, hepatic encephalopathy, and hepatic artery thrombosis. In all cases, clinical outcomes were favorable with conservative treatment. No evidence of tumor seeding in the needle track was reported and no PEI-related mortality observed. CONCLUSIONS PEI is a safe neoadjuvant therapy for HCC on waiting list liver transplant candidates. In our series, pain and self-limited fever were the most frequent complications. Clinically significant severe complications were uncommon, and nonconservative treatments were not required.

Abstract
AIM To perform a meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy vs. antisecretory non-eradication therapy for the prevention of recurrent bleeding from peptic ulcer. METHODS A search was made of the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and several congresses for controlled clinical trials comparing the efficacy of H. pylori eradication therapy vs. antisecretory non-eradication therapy for the prevention of peptic ulcer re-bleeding. Studies with all patients taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were excluded. Extraction and quality assessment of the studies were performed by two reviewers. RESULTS In the first meta-analysis, the mean percentage of re-bleeding in the H. pylori eradication therapy group was 4.5%, compared with 23.7% in the non-eradication therapy group without long-term antisecretory therapy [odds ratio, 0.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.09-0.37; 'number needed to treat' (NNT), 5; 95% CI, 4-8]. In the second meta-analysis, the re-bleeding rate in the H. pylori eradication therapy group was 1.6%, compared with 5.6% in the non-eradication therapy group with maintenance antisecretory therapy (odds ratio, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.08-0.76; NNT, 20; 95% CI, 12-100). When only patients with successful H. pylori eradication were included, the re-bleeding rate was 1%. CONCLUSIONS The treatment of H. pylori infection is more effective than antisecretory non-eradication therapy (with or without long-term maintenance antisecretory treatment) in the prevention of recurrent bleeding from peptic ulcer. Consequently, all patients with peptic ulcer bleeding should be tested for H. pylori, and eradication therapy should be prescribed to infected patients.
