Background: Research data from patient reports indicate that the least bearable part of colonoscopy is the administration of laxatives for bowel preparation.

Aim: To observe the intestinal cleansing efficacy and safety of sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate and to discuss the patients' experiences due to the procedure.

Methods: Subjects hospitalized in the International Medical Center Ward of Peking University International Hospital, Beijing, China, from April 29 to October 29, 2020, for whom the colonoscopy was planned, were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • A 48-year-old woman experienced abdominal pain, diarrhea, and difficulties with bowel movements for over a year, leading to multiple hospital visits and an initial misdiagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Advanced imaging techniques and a discovery regarding her use of a drug, Qingdai pill, revealed that she actually suffered from ischemic or toxic bowel disease with stenosis in the sigmoid colon.
  • After undergoing laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy, her symptoms were resolved, and the case emphasizes the importance of recognizing drug-induced conditions to prevent misdiagnosis, as well as the role of certain medical procedures in accurately diagnosing bowel issues.

Objective: Optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation remains controversial. The present study is an assessment of efficacy and safety of short-term (≤6 months) DAPT after DES implantation in patients with coronary artery disease, especially in important subgroups.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for randomized, controlled trials comparing short-term and long-term (>6 months) DAPT after DES implantation.

The value of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has not yet been fully defined. We aimed to systematically evaluate the influence of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on survival and complete cytoreduction after debulking surgery in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) patients. We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing NAC and primary debulking surgery (PDS) in AEOC patients.

We aimed to investigate how 5-FU-PLA-O-CMC-NP (5-FPOCN) inhibits the proliferation of the SW480 colon cancer cell line. Following the treatment of cell line SW480 with 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 μg/ml 5-FPOCN or 5-fluorouracil (fluorouracil, 5-Fu) for 0, 24, 48, or 72, the rate of cell was tested by the tetrazolium assay (MTT).

The aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays important roles in the initial development of colon cancer. Sulindac is a commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. We demonstrated the effects of sulindac on growth inhibition, apoptosis induction, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling suppression in human colon cancer cells.

Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of diagnosing gastric antral lesions in routine clinical practice using magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) as a real-time diagnosing technique.

Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing upper endoscopy were selected for the study. In each patient, the mucosa of the gastric antrum was observed by M-NBI, and the gastric microstructure was categorized into five types (A-E).
