Background: Missed early gastric cancer (MEGC) is prevalent during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which is the first-line recommended strategy for detecting early gastric cancer (EGC). Hence, we explored the risk factors for MEGC and different types of MEGC, based on the endoscopic resected population.

Methods: This retrospective, case-control study was conducted at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital (NJDTH).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is recognized as the most aggressive and fatal malignancy. A previous study reported that PDAC patients who exhibit elevated levels of DDX3X have a poor prognosis and low overall survival rate. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

Here we reported a particular case of MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) that had only one rare heterozygous variant, but some particular clinical manifestations contributed to occur in this male patient by only one defective MUTYH allele were worth of further investigation. We reported a case of MAP. It is about a 33-year-old man with chief complaints of hematochezia who had multiple polyps that were found in his colon via colonoscopy.

Introduction: Colonoscopy is currently considered as one of the principal techniques to diagnose the colorectal diseases. Admittedly, qualified bowel preparation before colonoscopy is a premise for high-quality examination. Lower quality bowel preparation might seriously impede visualization of the intestinal mucosa, resulting in missed and misdiagnosed intestinal lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • - Esophageal basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare and diverse type of cancer that shows different patterns of differentiation, making systematic analysis difficult, particularly regarding submucosal gland differentiation (SGD).
  • - In a study analyzing 152 cases of esophageal BSCC, researchers categorized them into three groups (pure, mixed, borderline) and found that the pure group had fewer issues like lymph node metastasis and better overall survival rates, although not significantly so.
  • - The findings suggest that SGD is a positive factor for patients, while the presence of squamous differentiation in mixed cases is negative; improved classification could enhance patient management strategies.

Background And Aims: Perforation is a common complication during endoscopic resection (ER) of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGISTs) associated with secondary infections, sepsis, hospitalization time and cost. However, the risk factors of perforation remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for perforation during ER of gGISTs.

Introduction: A modified cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (mEMR-C), introduced in this study, was a novel variation of the standard EMR. We aimed to compare the outcomes of mEMR-C and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for the treatment of small (≤20 mm) intraluminal gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (gGISTs).

Methods: This retrospective study included 43 patients who underwent mEMR-C and 156 patients who received ESD at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital.

Background And Aims: Currently sedation is a common practice in colonoscopy to reduce pain of patients and improve the operator satisfaction, whereas its impact on examination quality, especially adenoma detection rate (ADR) is still controversial. Thus, we aimed to investigate the association of sedation with ADR.

Methods: Consecutive patients receiving colonoscopy between January 2017 and January 2020 at the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing, China, were collected.

Background And Aims: It is crucial to accurately determine malignant biliary strictures (MBSs) for early curative treatment. This study aimed to develop a real-time interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) system to predict MBSs under digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC).

Methods: A novel interpretable AI system called MBSDeiT was developed consisting of 2 models to identify qualified images and then predict MBSs in real time.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers analyzed 128 cases of intermediate-risk gastric GISTs, finding that the endoscopic group had smaller tumors, shorter surgery times, fewer complications, and reduced hospital stays compared to the surgical group.
  • * Results showed no recurrences or deaths in the endoscopy group during follow-up, and the data suggested that imatinib adjuvant treatment did not significantly benefit patients after endoscopic resection.

Introduction: High risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in gastric papillary adenocarcinoma causes endoscopists to worry about the suitability of endoscopic resection for early gastric papillary adenocarcinoma (EPAC). We compared risk factors and attempted to establish a scoring system to stratify LNM risk in patients with EPAC.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 2,513 patients with early gastric carcinoma (EGC) who underwent radical resection in 4 tertiary hospitals in China.

Background: Diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) under narrow band imaging endoscopy (NBI) is dependent on expertise and skills. We aimed to elucidate whether artificial intelligence (AI) could diagnose EGC under NBI and evaluate the diagnostic assistance of the AI system.

Methods: In this retrospective diagnostic study, 21,785 NBI images and 20 videos from five centers were divided into a training dataset (13,151 images, 810 patients), an internal validation dataset (7057 images, 283 patients), four external validation datasets (1577 images, 147 patients), and a video validation dataset (20 videos, 20 patients).

Background And Aim: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is the most established diagnostic method for pancreatic tissue. Rapid on-site evaluation by a trained endoscopist (self-ROSE) can improve the diagnostic accuracy. This research is aimed to analyze the application value of self-ROSE for EUS-FNA in solid pancreatic lesions.

Background: We aimed to develop a deep learning-based segmentation system for rapid on-site cytopathology evaluation (ROSE) to improve the diagnostic efficiency of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) biopsy.

Methods: A retrospective, multicenter, diagnostic study was conducted using 5345 cytopathological slide images from 194 patients who underwent EUS-FNA. These patients were from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital (109 patients), Wuxi People's Hospital (30 patients), Wuxi Second People's Hospital (25 patients), and The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (30 patients).

Objective: More than one-third of chronic pancreatitis patients will eventually develop diabetes, recently classified as post-chronic pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-C). This study was aimed to investigate the pancreatic and gut hormone responses to a mixed meal test in PPDM-C patients, compared with non-diabetic chronic pancreatitis (CP), and type 2 diabetes patients or healthy controls.

Design And Methods: Sixteen patients with PPDM-C, 12 with non-diabetic CP as well as 10 with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls were recruited.

Background And Aims: With the increasing incidence of small GI stromal tumors (GISTs), endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) and cap-assisted EFTR (EFTR-C) have been suggested as 2 effective resection methods. We aimed to compare the outcomes of EFTR and EFTR-C for the treatment of small (≤1.5 cm) gastric GISTs.

Introduction: This study aims to construct a real-time deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) system to diagnose early esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) with white light imaging endoscopy.

Methods: A total of 4,002 images from 1,078 patients were used to train and cross-validate the DCNN model for diagnosing early ESCC. The performance of the model was further tested with independent internal and external validation data sets containing 1,033 images from 243 patients.

Background: Our study aims to analyze the association between Lauren's classification and gastric adenocarcinoma prognosis using comprehensive statistical analyses.

Methods: According to the selection criteria, patients were included from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression, propensity score matching, and a multivariate competing risk model were used to investigate the association between Lauren's classification and prognosis.

Background: We aimed to develop and validate a real-time deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) system for detecting early gastric cancer (EGC).
