Gastrointestinal endoscopy 2024年11月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We determined the factors influencing total capsule colonoscopy, adequate cleansing, and detectability of second-generation colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) for colorectal polyps or tumors (CRTs), adverse events, and acceptability. METHODS: Among 44 Japanese hospitals, 1,006 patients with suspected or documented colorectal diseases who underwent CCE were enrolled prospectively. RESULTS: The total capsule colonoscopy rate was 86.1%. Age younger than 63 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.525), male sex (aOR, 1.496), inflammatory bowel disease (aOR, 1.889), lavage intake on Day -1 (aOR, 1.625), ≥1800 mL lavage intake on Day 0 (aOR, 0.595), prokinetics on Day 0 (aOR, 0.608), and ≥30 mL castor oil booster on Day 0 (aOR, 1.734) were significant independent predictors. The overall adequate cleansing rate was 65.5%. Constipation (aOR, 0.527), lavage intake on Day -1 (aOR, 1.822), laxative intake on Day -1 (aOR, 2.616), and ≥1900 mL lavage intake on Day 0 (aOR, 1.449) were significant independent predictors. The detection rates (95% confidence intervals) for patients with CRTs ≥6 mm and ≥10 mm were 92 (84-97) % and 89 (78-96) %, respectively. Inadequate cleansing in the ascending colon (aOR, 0.184), ≥6 mm CRT in the transverse colon (aOR, 4.703), and ≥6 mm CRT in the left-sided colon (aOR, 32.013) were significant independent predictors. CCE retention occurred in two patients (0.20%) requiring endoscopic and surgical interventions. In total, 63% of patients desired CCE for their next colonoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: CCE was relatively safe, well tolerated, and useful for detecting colorectal lesions when adequate bowel preparation was made.

Background and study aims Although esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a widely used technique, the procedure is often associated with discomfort. This study aimed to analyze painful situations, their frequency, and factors associated with patient discomfort during EGD. Patients and methods This prospective observational study included patients scheduled to undergo EGD. Seven endoscopists recruited patients scheduled for EGD screening or surveillance. Each endoscopist enrolled 20 patients, performing 10 EGD procedures using ultraslim endoscopes and 10 with standard-sized endoscopes. Data regarding painful situations and frequency were collected using specialized buttons pressed by the patients during EGD. A survey about overall discomfort was conducted after the procedure. Results We analyzed data from 140 patients. Esophageal insertion and duodenal observation were associated with the highest incidence of pressing the pain button, accounting for 59.3% and 40.7% of the cases, respectively. The factor associated with pressing the pain button during esophageal insertion was endoscopist experience (< 10 years). In contrast, younger age and female sex were the factors associated with pressing the pain button during duodenal observation. In the post-procedure survey, 63.6% of patients reported discomfort. Factors associated with patient discomfort included pressing the pain button during esophageal insertion (odds ratio [OR]: 2.84, P = 0.01) and previous painful EGD experience (OR: 2.41, P = 0.03). Concusions This study provides objective data on painful situations, their frequency, and related factors during EGD. Further research and interventions focusing on pain reduction during endoscopic procedures are warranted. The results of this study will help endoscopists manage painful situations and potentially improve skills.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy 2024年10月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurate assessment of colorectal polyp size is crucial for determining treatment and surveillance policies. However, visual estimation of lesion diameter is often inaccurate, making simple and effective educational tools essential. We aimed to evaluate the learning effects of virtual scale endoscopy (VSE). METHODS: Thirty-three endoscopists first watched pre-learning videos for SET1. They then estimated the diameters of 20 lesions and referred to instructional videos with VSE for self-study. Subsequently, they watched the post-learning videos for SET2 and estimated the lesion diameters. The error between the estimated and correct lesion sizes of both sets was compared. To evaluate longer-term learning effects, participants answered SET3 and SET4, which consisted of the same questions as SET2 and SET1, respectively, 2-3 months later without watching the instructional video for SET2. RESULTS: The error in the participants' estimation of the correct lesion diameter improved from SET1 to SET2 (34.7 mm ± 6.6 vs. 30.7 mm ± 7.7; p = 0.048), with a significant learning effect and error improvement specifically among non-experts (35.2 mm ± 5.3 vs. 30 mm ± 6.8; p = 0.028). In the SET3 and SET4, participants' errors indicated that the learning effect was well maintained (SET2 vs. SET3; 30.7 mm ± 7.7 vs. 28.6 mm ± 7.2; p = 0.1, and SET1 and SET4: 34.7 mm ± 6.6 vs. 31.7 mm ± 7.1; p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS: VSE videos are a valuable learning tool for estimating lesion diameter, particularly for novice endoscopists, both in the short- and longer-term.

Drugs - real world outcomes 2024年10月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Because vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition has been suggested to improve immune cell function in the cancer microenvironment, we examined whether using ramucirumab (RAM) before nivolumab usage is more effective in advanced gastric cancer. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective observational study. We analyzed patients who received nivolumab monotherapy as the third-line regimen for unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer between October 2017 and December 2022. They were divided into the RAM (RAM-treated) group and the non-RAM (non-treated) group according to the RAM usage in the second-line regimen. The primary outcome was to compare the overall survival after nivolumab administration in the third-line regimen between the RAM and non-RAM groups. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients were included in the present study: 42 patients in the RAM group and ten patients in the non-RAM group. The median overall survival was significantly longer in the RAM group than in the non-RAM group (8.5 months vs 6.9 months, p < 0.05). In the RAM group, patients without peritoneal metastasis had significantly better median overall survival than those with peritoneal metastasis (23.8 months vs 7.7 months, p = 0.0033). Multivariate Cox-proportional hazards analyses showed that the presence of peritoneal metastasis (hazard ratio, 2.4; 95% confidence interval 1.0-5.7) alone was significantly associated with overall survival in the RAM group. CONCLUSIONS: The use of RAM prior to nivolumab monotherapy may contribute to prolonged survival in patients with gastric cancer, especially those without peritoneal metastasis.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: As the population ages, the number of elderly patients with superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is increasing. We aimed to clarify the indications for endoscopic resection (ER) in late-elderly patients with ESCC in terms of life expectancy. METHODS: Patients aged ≥75 years who underwent ER for ESCC at our institution from January 2005 to December 2018 were enrolled. Clinical data, including the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS), Charlson comorbidity index, and prognostic nutritional index (PNI), were collected at the time of ER. The main outcome measure was overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Two hundred eight consecutive patients were enrolled. The patients' median age was 78 years (range, 75-89 years). The 5-year follow-up rate was 88.5% (median follow-up period, 6.6 years). The 5-year OS rate was 79.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72.2-84.8), and 5-year net survival standardized for age, sex, and calendar year was 1.04 (95% CI, 0.98-1.09). In the multivariate analysis, an ASA-PS of 3 (hazard ratio, 2.45; 95% CI, 1.16-5.17) and PNI of <44.0 (hazard ratio, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.38-5.40) were independent prognostic factors. When neither of these factors was met, the 5-year OS rate was 87.8% (95% CI, 80.0-92.9), and 5-year net survival was 1.08 (95% CI, 1.02-1.14). CONCLUSIONS: ER for ESCC in late-elderly patients may improve life expectancy. ER is recommended in patients with a good ASA-PS and PNI.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, is effective at treating acid-related gastrointestinal disorders but has been linked to gastric mucosal redness, a novel condition. This report describes two cases of vonoprazan-associated mucosal redness. Case 1 involved a 73-year-old woman who developed longitudinal erythema and mild mucosal changes after starting vonoprazan seven years ago. Case 2 involved a 70-year-old man who exhibited significant erythema and atrophic gastritis after seven months of treatment. In both cases, the pathological findings included hemorrhage in the superficial mucosa, highlighting that microhemorrhage may be the corresponding pathological finding for vonoprazan-associated mucosal redness.

Objective The characteristics of gastric cancer in patients with atrophic mucosa and no apparent history of Helicobacter pylori eradication have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, this study examined the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer in these patients. Methods We retrospectively examined the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of gastric cancer in patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection. Patients or Materials We divided the patients into 2 groups: those with gastric atrophy and no history of eradication (group A; n =102) and those with a history of eradication (group B; n =161). In group A, patients were further divided into mild atrophy (group C) and severe atrophy (group D) groups, while group B was further divided into those who underwent eradication treatment >5 years ago (group E) and those who underwent eradication 1-5 years ago (group F). Results Group A comprised significantly older individuals (75±8.0 vs. 71±7.5 years old, p <0.001) with a higher frequency of elevated gastric cancer than group B (32.4% vs. 17.4%, p =0.006). Compared with group E, group A was older and had a greater incidence of elevated gastric cancer. The incidence of gastric cancer in the U or M region was lower in group C than in group D. Conclusion Gastric cancer in patients with gastric atrophy and no history of eradication was associated with an older age and higher frequency of elevated-type morphology than in those with a history of eradication.

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A submucosal injection solution is used to assist in endoscopic surgery. The high viscosity of current solutions makes them difficult to inject. In the present study, we developed an extremely low-viscosity, easy-to-use submucosal injection solution using phosphorylated pullulan (PPL). METHODS: The PPL solutions were prepared at different concentrations, and their viscosities were measured. The mucosal elevation capacity was evaluated using excised porcine stomachs. Controls included 0.4% sodium hyaluronate (SH), 0.6% sodium alginate (SA), and saline. To evaluate the practicality, the catheter injectability of 0.7% PPL was measured, and EMR and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) were performed using the stomach and colorectum of live pigs. As controls, 0.4% SH and saline were used. RESULTS: The PPL solutions were of extremely low viscosity compared to the solutions of 0.4% SH and 0.6% SA. Nevertheless, the mucosal elevation capacity of PPL solutions for up to 0.7% concentration was similar to that of 0.4% SH, and 0.7% PPL was less resistant to catheter infusion than 0.4% SH and 0.6% SA. In live pig experiments with endoscopic mucosal resection and ESD, snaring after submucosal injection of 0.7% PPL was easier than with 0.4% SH, ESD with 0.7% PPL produced less bubble formation than with 0.4% SH, and the procedure time tended to be shorter with 0.7% PPL than with 0.4% SH because of the shorter injection time. CONCLUSIONS: The PPL solution is an innovative and easy-to-use submucosal injection solution.

Several features of drug-induced mucosal alterations have been observed in the upper gastrointestinal tract, i.e., the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. These include pill-induced esophagitis, desquamative esophagitis, worsening of gastroesophageal reflux, chemotherapy-induced esophagitis, proton pump inhibitor-induced gastric mucosal changes, medication-induced gastric erosions and ulcers, pseudomelanosis of the stomach, olmesartan-related gastric mucosal inflammation, lanthanum deposition in the stomach, zinc acetate hydrate tablet-induced gastric ulcer, immune-related adverse event gastritis, olmesartan-asso-ciated sprue-like enteropathy, pseudomelanosis of the duodenum, and lanthanum deposition in the duodenum. For endoscopists, acquiring accurate knowledge regarding these diverse drug-induced mucosal alterations is crucial not only for the correct diagnosis of these lesions but also for differential diag-nosis of other conditions. This minireview aims to provide essential information on drug-induced mucosal alterations observed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, along with representative endoscopic images.

Objective Although the characteristics of Helicobacter pylori infection have been extensively reported, there is a lack of consensus regarding its characteristics in young adults. The present study examined the endoscopic and histological characteristics of young adults who underwent eradication therapy for H. pylori infection. Methods We examined the H. pylori infection status of first-year students at Okayama University School of Medicine and Dentistry between 2014 and 2020. A total of 152 (6.8%) students who were positive for H. pylori antibody or pepsinogen tests were enrolled in the study. Among them, 107 students underwent endoscopy, and their biopsy samples were investigated. Seventy-five students were diagnosed with H. pylori infections. Results Of 75 H. pylori-positive patients, 57 (76.0%) had endoscopic atrophic gastritis, and 42 (56.0%) had histological atrophy. A few patients had severe atrophic gastritis. All 65 patients who underwent an eradication assessment were successfully treated. After successful eradication, 26 patients underwent endoscopic follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 32.9 months. A histological evaluation revealed that gastric antrum atrophy had subsided in 11 of 14 patients, and atrophy in the lesser curvature of the gastric body had subsided in 7 of 8 patients. Conclusion More than half of young adults with H. pylori infection had atrophic gastritis. We found mild atrophy in young adults, which subsided shortly after eradication treatment. This study provides a foundation for future studies to evaluate the validity of eradication therapy in preventing gastric cancer in patients.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Anticoagulant users with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) sometimes suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) and have difficulty continuing the medication. Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been developed for such situations. We aimed to clarify the clinical significance of a history of GIB in comparison to other factors in patients who had undergone LAAC. METHODS: From October 2019 to September 2023, patients with NVAF who underwent LAAC at our hospital were enrolled. We investigated the percentage of patients with a history of GIB who underwent LAAC and compared the incidence of post-LAAC bleeding in these patients compared to those with other factors. RESULTS: A total of 45 patients were included. There were 19 patients (42%) with a history of GIB who underwent LAAC. In a Kaplan-Meier analysis, the cumulative incidence of bleeding complications after LAAC was significantly higher in patients with a history of GIB in comparison to patients with other factors. There were eight cases of post-LAAC bleeding in total, and seven cases had GIB. CONCLUSIONS: We need to recognize that GIB is a significant complication in patients who undergo LAAC. The management of GIB by gastroenterologists is essential to the success of LAAC.

A Japanese female patient underwent a living lung transplant at age 29 and has been on immunomodulatory drug therapy since then. At age 52, she presented with sudden hematochezia. Despite abdominal computed tomography scan, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and colonoscopy, no definitive source of bleeding was identified. Considering the possibility of small bowel bleeding, video capsule endoscopy was performed, which revealed a suspected ulcerative lesion in the jejunum. Subsequent per-oral double-balloon endoscopy confirmed the presence of an ulcerative lesion in the jejunum. A potential pathological diagnosis of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) was considered based on endoscopic biopsy specimens from the jejunal lesion. However, before the pathologic biopsy results were available, the patient experienced small intestinal perforation, necessitating emergency partial resection. Pathologic examination revealed a dense proliferation of medium-to-large atypical lymphocytes with neutrophilic infiltration in the perforated area of the small intestinal wall. Immunostaining showed lymphoid cells positive for CD20 but negative for CD3. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) -encoded RNA was detected by in situ hybridization, and Ki-67 staining demonstrated a higher percentage of positive cells. Consequently, an EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, developed as PTLD, was diagnosed. Complete remission was achieved with a reduced immunomodulatory drug dosage and rituximab therapy. She has been alive for 8 months postoperatively without recurrence. This case suggests that PTLD should be considered in assessing patients presenting with abdominal symptoms following organ transplantation.

BACKGROUND: Non-esophageal eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorder (non-EoE-EGID) is a rare disease in which eosinophils infiltrate parts of the gastrointestinal tract other than the esophagus; however, the number of patients with non-EoE-EGID has been increasing in recent years. Owing to its chronic course with repeated relapses, it can lead to developmental delays due to malnutrition, especially in pediatric patients. No established treatment exists for non-EoE-EGID, necessitating long-term systemic corticosteroid administration. Although the efficacy of dupilumab, an anti-IL-4/13 receptor monoclonal antibody, for eosinophilic esophagitis, has been reported, only few reports have demonstrated its efficacy in non-EoE EGIDs. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old boy developed non-EoE-EGID with duodenal ulcers, with chicken eggs as the trigger. He was successfully treated with an egg-free diet, proton pump inhibitors, and leukotriene receptor antagonists. However, at age 15, he developed worsening upper abdominal pain and difficulty eating. Blood analysis revealed eosinophilia; elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate; and elevated levels of C-reactive protein, total immunoglobulin E, and thymic and activation-regulated chemokines. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a duodenal ulcer with marked mucosal eosinophilic infiltration. Gastrointestinal symptoms persisted even after starting systemic steroids, making it difficult to reduce the steroid dose. Subcutaneous injection of dupilumab was initiated because of comorbid atopic dermatitis exacerbation. After 3 months, the gastrointestinal symptoms disappeared, and after 5 months, the duodenal ulcer disappeared and the eosinophil count decreased in the mucosa. Six months later, systemic steroids were discontinued, and the duodenal ulcer remained recurrence-free. The egg challenge test result was negative; therefore, the egg-free diet was discontinued. Blood eosinophil count and serum IL-5, IL-13, and eotaxin-3 levels decreased after dupilumab treatment. The serum levels of IL-5 and eotaxin-3 remained within normal ranges, although the blood eosinophil counts increased again after discontinuation of oral prednisolone. CONCLUSIONS: Suppression of IL-4R/IL-13R-mediated signaling by dupilumab may improve abdominal symptoms and endoscopic and histologic findings in patients with non-EoE-EGID, leading to the discontinuation of systemic steroid administration and tolerance of causative foods.

Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a convenient and minimally invasive method widely used to evaluate the small intestine. However, especially in the distal ileum, visualization of the intestinal mucosa is frequently hampered by the remaining intestinal contents, making it difficult to detect critical lesions. Although several studies have reported on the efficacy of bowel preparation before SBCE, no standardized protocol has been established. Herein, we determined the optimal preparation method for better visualization of the distal ileum using SBCE. We retrospectively analyzed 259 consecutive patients who had undergone SBCE between July 2009 and December 2019, divided into three groups: Group A (no preparation except overnight fasting), Group B (ingestion of 1-2 L polyethylene glycol 4 h before colonoscopy after overnight fasting and performing SBCE immediately after colonoscopy), and Group C (ingestion of 0.9 L magnesium citrate [MC] before SBCE after overnight fasting). The visibility of the intestinal mucosa in the first 10 min and at the last 10 min during the period of observation of the distal ileum was examined using a scoring system and compared. The visibility of the images captured by SBCE was assessed based on the scoring of the degree of bile/chyme staining, residual fluid and debris, brightness, bubble reduction, and visualized mucosa. The status of intestinal collapse was also assessed. In the first 10 min of observation of the distal ileum, no significant differences were detected among the groups. In the last 10 min, significantly better images were acquired in Group C in terms of bile/chyme staining, brightness, bubble reduction, and visualized mucosa. Bowel preparation using a low-dose MC solution 2 h before SBCE provided significantly higher-quality images of the distal ileum. Further optimization, such as the timing of initiating the preparation, is necessary to determine the optimal regimen for bowel preparation prior to SBCE.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The PillCam patency capsule (PC) without a radio frequency identification tag was released to preclude retention of the small bowel capsule endoscope (CE) in Japan in 2012. We conducted a multicenter study to determine tag-less PC-related adverse events (AEs). METHODS: We first conducted a retrospective survey using a standardized data collection sheet for the clinical characteristics of PC-related AEs among 1096 patients collected in a prospective survey conducted between January 2013 and May 2014 (Cohort 1). Next, we retrospectively investigated additional AEs that occurred before and after Cohort 1 within the period June 2012 and December 2014 among 1482 patients (Cohort 2). RESULTS: Of the 2578 patients who underwent PC examinations from both cohorts, 74 AEs occurred among 61 patients (2.37%). The main AEs were residual parylene coating in 25 events (0.97%), PC-induced small bowel obstruction, suspicious of impaction, in 23 events (0.89%), and CE retention even after patency confirmation in 10 events (0.39%). Residual parylene coating was significantly associated with Crohn's disease (P < 0.01). Small bowel obstruction was significantly associated with physicians with less than 1 year of experience handling the PC and previous history of postprandial abdominal pain (P < 0.01 and P < 0.03, respectively). CE retention was ascribed to erroneous judgment of PC localization in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale multicenter study provides evidence supporting the safety and efficiency of a PC to preclude CE retention. Accurate PC localization in patients without excretion and confirmation of previous history of postprandial abdominal pain before PC examinations is warranted (UMIN000010513).

A Japanese woman presented with gastric antral ulcers accompanied by erosion and edema, demonstrating a chronic pattern of improvement and recurrence for more than six years. The patient had no relevant treatment history, and Helicobacter pylori infection was ruled out. Other potential etiologies contributing to gastric ulcers were eliminated on the basis of endoscopic biopsy and blood laboratory findings. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with idiopathic gastric antral ulcer. This disease is often overlooked, and the chronological endoscopic images provided in this report can be used as a reference.
