Development and application of an artificial intelligence-assisted endoscopy system for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection: a multicenter randomized controlled study.

Background: The early diagnosis and treatment of Heliobacter pylori (H.pylori) gastrointestinal infection provide significant benefits to patients. We constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on an endoscopic system to diagnose H.

ZO-1 and IL-1RAP Phosphorylation: Potential Role in Mediated Brain-Gut Axis Dysregulation in Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like Stressed Mice.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder often exacerbated by stress, influencing the brain-gut axis (BGA). BGA dysregulation, disrupted intestinal barrier function, altered visceral sensitivity and immune imbalance defects underlying IBS pathogenesis have been emphasized in recent investigations. Phosphoproteomics reveals unique phosphorylation details resulting from environmental stress.

Gd-modified Mn-Co oxides derived from layered double hydroxides for improved catalytic activity and HO/SO tolerance in NH-SCR of NO reaction.

Metal oxides derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are expected to obtain low-temperature denitrification (de-NO) catalysts with high catalytic activity and HO/SO tolerance in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH. In current work, we successfully prepared Gd-modified Mn-Co metal oxides derived from Gd-modified Mn-Co LDHs. The resultant Gd-modified Mn-Co metal oxides exhibit excellent catalytic activity and high HO/SO tolerance in the NH-SCR de-NO reaction.

Prediction of Esophageal Stricture after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection in Patients with Early Esophageal Cancer.

Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) treatment of early esophageal cancer is effective and safe. It is currently the first-line treatment for early esophageal cancer. However, a common side effect is the development of esophageal strictures after ESD.

Downregulation of lncRNA NEAT1 Relieves Caerulein-Induced Cell Apoptosis and Inflammatory Injury in AR42J Cells Through Sponging miR-365a-3p in Acute Pancreatitis.

Mounting evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs exert a critical regulatory role in acute pancreatitis. The present study aimed to explore the role of lncRNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) in acute pancreatitis (AP) that was induced by caerulein in rat pancreatic acinar cells (AR42J). The potential target sites of lncRNA NEAT1 and miR-365a-3p were predicted using starBase and were confirmed using dual-luciferase reporter assay.

Effect of sodium butyrate regulating IRAK1 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1) on visceral hypersensitivity in irritable bowel syndrome and its mechanism.

The current study aimed to investigate the effects of sodium butyrate on the level of colonic protein IRAK1 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) models as well as revealing the relationship between IRAKI level and visceral sensitivity during the progression of IBS. IBS symptoms were induced using TNBS (2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid) in mice and using IL-33 in HT-29 cells, which were then hanlded with sodium butyrate (100 mM for each mice and 0.05 M for HT-29 cells).

High dose PPI-amoxicillin dual therapy for the treatment of infection: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Background: resistance to amoxicillin remains rare in many regions. Proton pump inhibitor-amoxicillin-containing high dose dual therapy (HDDT) has been proposed to treat infection. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of PPI-amoxicillin HDDT for treatment of infection in comparison with other regimens.

Comparison of Polyethylene Glycol versus Lactulose Oral Solution for Bowel Preparation prior to Colonoscopy.

Objective: This study was conducted to compare a lactulose oral solution with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) formulation for colonoscopy preparation using the following metrics: quality of cleansing, colonoscopy outcomes, patient/physician satisfaction, and patient tolerability.

Methods: The enrolled patients were randomly divided into two groups and received a single 2 L dose of either PEG (PEG group) or lactulose (Lac group). The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) was used for assessing the cleansing quality of the bowel preparations.
