Article Synopsis
- Achalasia is a rare disorder affecting the esophagus, linked to immune system issues that aren't fully understood yet.
- The research used Mendelian randomization and genome-wide association studies to find connections between cytokine levels and achalasia, focusing on key cytokines and their effects on the lower esophageal sphincter.
- Findings indicated that specific cytokines (Eotaxin, MIP1b, SeSelectin, TRAIL) are linked to achalasia and could be potential targets for drug development, with particular roles for TNFSF10 monocytes and IL1RN macrophages in the disease's inflammatory processes.*
Background And Aims: Increased reports on endoscopic resection (ER) of esophageal giant subepithelial lesions (g-SELs) have emerged in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, technical difficulty, and safety through our single-center experience.
Methods: Seventy-five patients with g-SELs undergoing endoscopic resection were included in the training set.
Background And Aims: Stenosis after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has a high incidence, and muscular injury is an important risk factor for esophageal stenosis. Hence, this study aimed to classify muscular injury degrees and investigate their association with postoperative stenosis.
Methods: This retrospective study included 1033 patients with esophageal mucosal lesions treated with ESD between August 2015 and March 2021.
