Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxyntic gland neoplasm (OGN) is a rare subtype of gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence, clinicopathological features, effectiveness and safety of endoscopic treatment, as well as the prognosis of OGN. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients pathologically diagnosed with OGN at our hospital from November 1, 2019 to May 1, 2023. RESULTS A total of 36 patients with 45 lesions were identified, resulting in a disease frequency of 0.047% (36/76,832). The mean age was 55.0 ± 7.5 years, with a male-to-female ratio of about 1:1.12. Most lesions were ≤10 mm in size (84.4%), located in the upper third of the stomach (73.3%), exhibited slight elevation (75.5%), appeared whitish (55%), had dilated blood vessels on the surface (75.5%). 16 and 21 lesions were treated by precutting endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR-P) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), respectively. No significant differences were found between EMR-P and ESD in terms of en bloc resection rate (100% vs 100%, p = 1.000), complete resection rate (100% vs 90.5%, p = 0.495), and curative resection rate (93.8% vs 90.5%, p = 1.000). No complications such as bleeding and perforation were observed. No recurrence or metastasis was observed during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS OGN is a rare tumor with unique clinical, endoscopic, and pathological characteristics. EMR-P and ESD are deemed safe and effective for treating OGNs. The relatively faster and easier EMR-P seems at least non-inferior to ESD, especially for removal of smaller OGNs. The overall prognosis is favorable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of endoscopic resection (ER) in gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has not been fully elucidated. AIMS The purpose of this work was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of ER in patients with GISTs originating from the muscularis propria (MP). METHODS A total of 233 consecutive patients with gastric GISTs originating from the MP layer, who underwent ER between February 2012 and May 2023, were included in this study. Clinical characteristics, tumor features, and outcomes were recorded and compared between patients who underwent en bloc resection and piecemeal resection. RESULTS Among the 233 patients, the median size of GISTs was 12 mm (range 5-60 mm). Risk assessment categorized 190 patients as very low risk, 26 as low risk, 10 as moderate risk, and 7 as high risk. The procedures performed included endoscopic submucosal excavation (127 cases), endoscopic full-thickness resection (103 cases), and submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (3 cases). The complete and R0 resection rate was 93.1%. Complications occurred in 4.7% of cases (perioperative perforations 1.7%, perioperative bleeding 1.3%, both 0.9%), resulting in conversion to surgery in 1.3% of cases. Risk factors associated with piecemeal resection were tumor size [odds ratio (OR) 0.402, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.207-0.783; P = 0.007] and shape (OR 0.045, 95% CI 0.009-0.235; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS ER is proven to be an effective and reasonably safe approach for gastric GISTs originating from the MP. Notably, larger tumor size and irregular shape are identified as risk factors for piecemeal resection during ER procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment options, and prognosis of patients with gastric schwannoma (GS). METHODS Patients who were pathologically diagnosed with GS between April 2011 and October 2022 were enrolled. The data of clinical characteristics, pathological features, treatment options, and clinical outcomes were collected and compared between GS patients who underwent endoscopic resection (ER) and surgical resection (SR). RESULTS Of the 32 cases, 23 underwent SR and nine underwent ER. The median tumor size was significantly smaller in ER group than in SR group (12.0 vs. 40.0 mm, P < 0.001), while patients in SR group were older than those in ER group (54.5 ± 10.6 vs. 45.3 ± 10.9 years, P = 0.036). Moreover, tumors in ER group were more likely to exhibit an intraluminal pattern (100% vs. 26.1%, P < 0.001). Patients in ER group had significantly lower hospitalization cost (25859.2 ± 8623.9 vs. 44953.0 ± 13083.8 RMB, P = 0.011) than those in SR group. No differences were found between the two groups in terms of R0 resection rate, operative time, estimated blood loss, adverse events, and recurrence rate. All patients were followed up for 4-96 months (mean: 35 months; median: 23 months), during which no evidence of recurrence or metastasis was observed. CONCLUSIONS Both ER and SR are safe and effective treatment modalities for the management of GS, with ER being associated with lower medical costs compared to SR. The majority of GS are benign and do not recur, with little possibility of malignant transformation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, life-threatening inflammatory disease of gastrointestinal tissue characterized by inflammation of the gut. Recent studies have shown that gut microbiota is involved in the pathophysiology of IBD. However, it is unknown whether direct inhibition of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome regulates IBD and alters gut microbiota. METHODS Here, the NLRP3 expression was evaluated in the colon of IBD subjects. Then, we investigated the effects of NLRP3 inhibition by MCC950 on the gut microbiota and IBD-like symptoms induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). RESULTS Firstly, NLRP3 and IL-1β levels were increased in patients with IBD as compared with healthy individuals. Then, the animal experiment showed that NLRP3 inhibition by MCC950 significantly attenuated IBD-like symptoms such as diarrhea and colonic inflammation in DSS-induced mice. In addition, NLRP3 inhibition inhibited NLRP3/ASC/caspase-1/IL-1β signaling pathway in the colon, which was over-activated by DSS. Furthermore, MCC950 increased the abundance of phylum Firmicutes, decreased the abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes, and increased the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, indicating that the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome could regulate the abundance of intestinal flora. According to correlation analysis, NLRP3 might produce its functional role in the regulation of oxidation indicators by changing the gut microbiota composition, especially the phylum Bacteroidota, genus Lactobacillus and species Lactobacillus reuteri. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition attenuates IBD-like symptoms by regulating gut microbiota, and provides a basis for the clinical application of NLRP3 as a target for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Autoimmune gastritis (AIG) is a prominent risk factor for pernicious anemia (PA) and gastric neoplasia. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of AIG patients in China, with a focus on those who had positive anti-intrinsic factor antibodies (AIFA). METHODS A total of 103 AIG patients who were diagnosed between January 2018 and August 2022 were reviewed in a large academic tertiary teaching hospital. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of AIFA, and their serologic and histopathological characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS The mean age of the 103 AIG patients was 54.16±11.92 years (range 23-79), with 69 (66.99%) being women. AIFA were present in 28.16% of patients. Patients with AIFA-positive had a higher risk of PA than those with AIFA-negative, as demonstrated by a larger mean corpuscular volume (MCV), lower hemoglobin level, and lower vitamin B-12 level (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in gastric histopathology, gastrin level, and pepsinogen level when patients were divided into AIFA-positive and AIFA-negative group. Of the 103 cases, 34 (33.01%) were concomitant with other autoimmune diseases, with autoimmune thyroid diseases being the most common (25.24%, 26/103). Thyroid peroxidase antibody, which accounted for 45.45% (25/55), was the most prevalent thyroid antibody, followed by anti-thyroglobulin antibody (34.55%, 19/55), thyroid stimulating antibody (12.73%, 7/55), and thyrotropin receptor antibody (3.64%, 2/55). CONCLUSION This study highlights the increased risk of severe anemia in AIFA-positive AIG patients, particularly for PA. Clinicians should consider the presence of AIFA as a warning sign for PA and prioritize early diagnosis and appropriate treatment to prevent serious complications.

Abstract
Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is an indicator of heart failure, and it is controversial whether patients with reduced preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction can benefit from heart valve surgery. We aimed to assess the differences in clinical characteristics after surgery in patients with different grades of reduced preoperative LVEF to guide clinical management. Methods A total of 100 heart valve disease patients with low LVEF (≤50%) who had undergone valve surgery in the Department of Cardiology. The patients were divided into three groups according to their LVEF measured by echocardiography before surgery, with LVEF ≤40% as group A, 40%< LVEF ≤45% as group B, and 45%< LVEF ≤50% as group C. Clinical characteristics such as postoperative LVEF values, oxygenation index, liver function and inflammatory index, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) utilization rate, and mortality were compared among the three groups of patients. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative baseline data between the three groups of patients (P>0.05). The clinical outcomes of patients in group A (n=28) were similar to those of patients in groups B (n=39) and C (n=33) (P>0.05). The vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS), postoperative ventilator use time, length of stay in the care unit, IABP use rate, and mortality rate on the first postoperative day were higher in group A. By comparing the preoperative and postoperative (within 48 hours and 3 months after surgery) cardiac echocardiograms of the three groups, we learned that LVEF increased, LV end-systolic internal diameter and LV end-diastolic internal diameter decreased, and ventricular remodeling improved after surgery compared with the preoperative period (P<0.05). The postoperative improvement was more obvious in group A than in groups B and C. Three months after surgery, LVEF increased to 55%, the LV end-systolic internal diameter decreased to 39 mm, and the LV end-diastolic internal diameter decreased to about 55 mm in each group (P>0.05). Conclusions Patients with heart valve disease and low LVEF should be actively treated with heart valve surgery, which can significantly improve the patient's left ventricular reverse remodeling and cardiac function, thereby facilitating survival.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the relationship between germline rare variants of bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) protein family-encoding genes and susceptibility to cancer in some regions of China. Methods: Capturing probes were designed for bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2), BRD3 and BRD4 genes, and Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform was used to conduct targeted sequencing of genomic DNA of peripheral blood leukocytes from 1 673 patients with cancer and 1 661 individuals without cancer recruited between October 2015 and July 2018 from Chinese PLA General Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, People's Hospital of Macheng City, Hubei Province and Geneplus-Beijing Co. Ltd. Mutation detection and analysis were carried out according to the genome analysis toolkit (GATK) best practice guidelines, ANNOVAR and VEP software were used for annotation, and germline rare variants in BET family were screened. To determine potential pathogenic germline rare variants, clinical and experimental evidence was obtained from the ClinVar database and SIFT and Polyphen-2 softwares were used to predict pathogenicity. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the difference of the carrying rate of variants in the case group and the control group, and multivariate regression analysis was performed with the SKAT software with sex and age used as covariates. Results: Among the 1 673 cancer patients, 911 were males and 762 were females, with the mean age was (57.9±11.7) years. There were 1, 111 cases (66.4%) of lung cancer, 266 cases (15.9%) of colorectal cancer, 186 cases of breast cancer (11.1%), and 110 cases (6.6%) of esophagus or gastric cancer. In the same period 1, 661 non-tumor control individuals were recruited, including 821 males and 840 females, with the mean age was (44.5±13.9) years. It was observed that there were 4 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene carried by 17 patients with cancer, 5 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD3 gene and 8 potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD4 gene. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in cancer patients was 1.02% (17/1 673), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0 (0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 4.81-+∞, P<0.001]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD3 gene in cancer patients was 0.24% (4/1 673), and the difference was not statistically significant compared with controls without cancer [0.12% (2/1 661); OR=1.99, 95%CI: 0.46-10.47, P=0.690]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD4 gene in cancer patients was 0.18% (3/1 673), and the difference was not statistically significant compared with controls without cancer [0.36% (6/1 661); OR=0.50, 95%CI: 0.14-2.08, P=0.340]. Furthermore, the dataset of whole exome sequencing of Chinese individuals in "Huabiao Project" was used as an additional control, and the rate of carrying BRD2 rare variants in cancer patients was 17/3 346 (0.51%), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0.07% (3/4 154); OR=7.07, 95%CI: 2.32-22.83, P<0.001]. Among the 17 patients carrying 4 potentially pathogenic germline rare variants of BRD2 gene, 9 were patients with lung cancer, 6 were patients with colorectal cancer, 1 was patient with breast cancer, and 1 was patients with esophagus or gastric cancer. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in lung cancer patients was 0.81 (9/1 111), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0(0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 3.95-+∞,P<0.001]. The carrying rate of potential pathogenic germline rare variants in BRD2 gene in patients with colorectal cancer was 2.26% (6/266), significantly higher than that in controls without cancer [0(0/1 661); OR=+∞, 95%CI: 9.03-+∞, P<0.001]. Wilcoxon rank-sum test results showed that patients with colorectal cancer carrying BRD2 rare variants had an earlier age at diagnosis [(47.0±7.4) vs (57.2±12.1) years old, P=0.017]. Conclusions: BRD2 gene may be served as a candidate genetic susceptibility gene for lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Carrying BRD2 potential pathogenic germline rare variants is associated with higher risk of lung cancer and colorectal cancer, and with earlier age of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a rare hamartomatous nodule of the liver, which has recently been described as a new category of hepatic nodular cystic lesion. Most of them are benign. The imaging findings are similar to those of many other hepatic cystic lesions, but MCBH also has some notable features, such as large cysts, smooth cyst walls, and lack of communication with the hepatic duct. Due to the non-specific radiology, preoperative diagnosis is difficult, and is usually diagnosed by postoperative pathology. Complete resection is the best treatment option, and the postoperative prognosis is good.
CASE SUMMARY When the patients have MCBH, the symptoms may not very typical, and they require a combination of imaging and pathology for diagnosis. Under normal circumstances, the prognosis of MCBH is good. However, in patients with MCBH, more cases need to be observed for verification.
CONCLUSION When the patients have MCBH, the symptoms may not very typical, and they require a combination of imaging and pathology for diagnosis. Under normal circumstances, the prognosis of MCBH is good. However, in patients with MCBH, more cases need to be observed for verification.

Abstract
A 47-year-old man with idiopathic mesenteric phlebosclerosis presented to our hospital because of a 2-month history of diarrhea and edema of both lower limbs. Contrastenhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a 2-cm mass of mixed density in the ascending colon. On coloscopy, a solid, ulcerated, semi-pedunculated, lobulated protruding mass of 3.5×3.5×1.5 cm was observed and removed with hot snare polypectomy. Histologic examination demonstrated a hamartomatous polyp with normal epithelium and an inflammatory infiltrate with dilated, mucus-filled cystic glands in the lamina propria, indicating a juvenile polyp.
