Article Synopsis
  • - A 75-year-old man with a history of liver issues was hospitalized for black stool, revealing both esophageal varices and superficial esophageal cancer during an endoscopy.
  • - The treatment involved first addressing the variceal bleeding through esophageal solitary venous dilatation (ESVD) and endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS), followed by successful endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the cancer.
  • - The combination of these endoscopic treatments proved effective without complications, demonstrating a successful strategy for managing cases of esophageal varices alongside early esophageal cancer.

Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are involved in regulation of the incidence and development of several hepatic diseases. Thus manipulating miRNAs may be a promising therapeutic strategy against these entities. In this study hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) were transfected with hsa-miR-9 or anti-hsa-miR-9, treated with tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), or subjected to treatment with TMP and hsa-miR-9 transfection (combined treatment group).

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) versus abdominal computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing small bowel diseases among 70 patients.
  • DBE detected a higher diagnostic yield of 57.1% compared to 31.4% for CT, with no complications reported during the procedures.
  • The combination of DBE and CT did not significantly increase diagnostic accuracy beyond DBE alone, but both methods were noted to complement each other in examining small bowel conditions.
