BACKGROUND: We previously demonstrated that the Kyoto classification of gastritis was useful for judging the status of Helicobacter pylori infection in a population-based screening program, and that adding H. pylori antibody test improved its accuracy (UMIN000028629). Here, we tested whether our endoscopic diagnosis of H. pylori infection status reliably estimated gastric cancer risk in the program. METHODS: Data were collected from1345 subjects who underwent endoscopic follow-up 4 years after the end of the registration. We analyzed the association of three diagnostic methods of H. pylori infection with gastric cancer detection: (1) endoscopic diagnosis based on the Kyoto classification of gastritis; (2) serum diagnosis according to the ABC method (H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen I and II); and (3) endoscopic diagnosis together with H. pylori antibody test. RESULTS: During the follow-up, 19 cases of gastric cancer were detected. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, the detection rates of cancer were significantly higher in the past or current H. pylori infection groups than in the never-infected group with all 3 methods. By the Cox proportional hazards model, the hazard ratio for cancer detection was highest in evaluation with the combined endoscopic diagnosis and the antibody test (method 3; hazard ratio 22.6, 95% confidence interval 2.99-171) among the three methods (the endoscopic diagnosis (method 1); 11.3, 2.58-49.8, and the ABC method (method 2); 7.52, 2.49-22.7). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic evaluation of H. pylori status with the Kyoto classification of gastritis, especially combined with serum anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody testing, reliably risk-stratified subjects in a population-based gastric cancer screening program.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The safety of gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in users of a P2Y12 receptor antagonist (P2Y12RA) under current guidelines has not been verified. METHODS: Patients treated by gastric ESD at Okayama University Hospital between January 2013 and December 2020 were registered. The postoperative bleeding rates of patients (group A) who did not receive any antithrombotic drugs; patients (group B) receiving aspirin or cilostazol monotherapy; and P2Y12RA users (group C) those on including monotherapy or dual antiplatelet therapy were compared. The risk factors for post-ESD bleeding were examined in a multivariate analysis of patient background, tumor factors, and antithrombotic drug management. RESULTS: Ultimately, 1,036 lesions (847 patients) were enrolled. The bleeding rates of group B and C were significantly higher than that of group A (p=0.012 and p<0.001, respectively), but there was no significant difference between group B and C (p=0.11). The postoperative bleeding rate was significantly higher in dual antiplatelet therapy than in P2Y12RA monotherapy (p=0.014). In multivariate analysis, tumor diameter ≥12 mm (odds ratio [OR], 4.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.99 to 9.31), anticoagulant use (OR, 4.03; 95% CI, 1.64 to 9.86), and P2Y12RA use (OR, 3.40; 95% CI, 1.07 to 10.70) were significant risk factors for postoperative bleeding. CONCLUSIONS: P2Y12RA use is a risk factor for postoperative bleeding in patients who undergo ESD even if receiving drug management according to guidelines. Dual antiplatelet therapy carries a higher risk of bleeding than monotherapy.

We report here a case of a 62-year-old woman with multiple gastric enterochromaffin-like cell neuroendocrine tumor caused by hypergastrinemia due to parietal cell dysfunction that was successfully treated with somatostatin analogue. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed several G1 neuroendocrine tumors, 10 mm in diameter, in the body of the stomach. No evidence of autoimmune gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, neuroendocrine neoplasia type 1, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome was identified. The pattern of immunohistochemical staining of the background gastric mucosa was suggestive of parietal cell dysfunction. She was treated with long-acting release octreotide acetate. Complete response was confirmed after 9 months and was maintained for 22 months.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Duodenal ulcer bleeding has a higher risk of mortality than bleeding from other portions of the gastrointestinal tract. AIMS65 is an effective risk-scoring system to predict prognosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and can be easily calculated without endoscopic findings. In this study, we investigate the usefulness of AIMS65 to predict prognosis of patients with duodenal ulcer bleeding. METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-five patients with endoscopically diagnosed duodenal ulcer bleeding at Kurashiki Central hospital from July 2007 to June 2017 were studied. We compared AIMS65, Glasgow Blatchford score (GBS), admission Rockall, and full Rockall scoring systems for predicting in-hospital mortality by calculating area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS: In-hospital mortality due to duodenal ulcer bleeding occurred in 17 (6.7%). Scores of all scoring systems were significantly higher in patients with in-hospital mortality than in patients without it. AUROC values for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.83 in AIMS65, 0.74 in GBS, 0.76 in admission Rockall score, and 0.82 in full Rockall score, a statistically insignificant difference among the systems. In AIMS65, score more than or equal to 2 was an optimal value to predict in-hospital mortality, with sensitivities of 88.2% and specificities of 59.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: AIMS65 predicted in-hospital mortality of patients with duodenal ulcer bleeding as accurately as did other scoring systems. Given its simplicity of calculation, AIMS65 may be a more clinically practical system in the management of bleeding duodenal ulcer patients.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We have started a new population-based endoscopic gastric cancer screening program in Kurashiki city with consideration of Helicobacter pylori infection status based on endoscopic features. We aimed to verify the feasibility of this attempt in a prospective case-registration study (UMIN000028629). METHODS: Data were collected from 1784 subjects without past eradication of H. pylori and who underwent endoscopic gastric cancer screening in Kurashiki Central Hospital Preventive Healthcare Plaza from September 2017 to June 2018. Endoscopic judgment of H. pylori infection status was made according to the Kyoto classification of gastritis. For comparison, a combination serum test of anti-H. pylori antibody and pepsinogen I and II, the ABC method, was used. RESULTS: The endoscopic diagnoses were nongastritis, 1215 (68.1%); active or inactive gastritis, 469 (26.3%); and undefined, 23 (1.3%). With the ABC method as a reference standard, the false-negative rate of the endoscopic judgment for H. pylori infection was 16.3% (95% confidence interval: 13.1%-20.0%). Most false-negative cases were of Group B in the ABC method, which is considered gastritis with mild mucosal atrophy. Antibody titers in this population were mostly in the weak-positive range but clinically significant elevation of the antibody suggesting current infection was observed in some cases. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic diagnosis of H. pylori infection status in a population-based gastric cancer screening program is mostly reliable, but false-negative results may occur, especially in patients with mild gastric atrophy. To avoid this limitation, we recommend adding H. pylori antibody test to the program.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) of small colorectal polyps is widely used. However, the technique is still troubled by insufficient resection depth, which may prevent precise pathologic evaluation. In this study, we investigated whether submucosal injection of saline solution helps to achieve deeper resection in CSP. METHODS: The study was a single-center, prospective, randomized trial. Patients with small (3- to 10-mm diameter) nonpedunculated adenomatous or sessile serrated colorectal polyps were randomly allocated to either conventional CSP (C-CSP) or CSP with submucosal injection (CSP-SI). Primary outcome was the rate of complete muscularis mucosae (MM) resection, defined by the proportion of MM under the tumor more than 80% of the tumor's horizontal dimension. Secondary outcomes were the rates of negative lateral and vertical margins, fragmentation of resected specimens, conversion to hot snare mucosal resection, intraprocedural bleeding, delayed bleeding, and perforation. RESULTS: Two hundred fourteen patients were randomly assigned to the CSP-SI (n = 107) or C-CSP (n = 107) group. The rate of complete MM resection was 43.9% in the CSP-SI group and 53.3% in the C-CSP group, a statistically insignificant difference. The rates of negative lateral margin and vertical margin (42.3% and 56.7%, respectively) in the CSP-SI group were significantly lower than those (58% and 76%) in the C-CSP group (P = .03 and P = .006, respectively). There was no polypectomy-related major bleeding or perforation. CONCLUSIONS: Saline solution injection into the submucosa did not improve the resection depth of CSP of small colorectal polyps, and the method resulted in lower rates of negative lateral and vertical margins of resected lesions. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000037980.).
