Background: The gastroscopic examination is a preferred method for the detection of upper gastrointestinal lesions. However, gastroscopic examination has high requirements for doctors, especially for the strict position and quantity of the archived images. These requirements are challenging for the education and training of junior doctors.

The present study demonstrated that miR-153 expression was markedly decreased in GC, including GC cell lines and culture medium, GC tissues, and serum samples, based on reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, and this was further confirmed by fluorescence hybridization. Transfection with miR-153 mimics inhibited proliferation and migration, and promoted apoptosis in GC cells.

However, the potential prognostic role of JAM3 in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. The purpose of this research was to gauge JAM3 expression and methylation as potential biomarkers for GC patient survival.

A total of 3141 samples was included in this study, including 773 cases in the GC group and 2368 cases in the healthy physical examination group.

The aim of this research is to assess whether the use of sedation can help improve the detection rate of UGI EC and precancerous lesions. The second objective is to evaluate its potential influencing factors.

Introduction: Conventional gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy reports written by physicians are time consuming and might have obvious heterogeneity or omissions, impairing the efficiency and multicenter consultation potential. We aimed to develop and validate an image recognition-based structured report generation system (ISRGS) through a multicenter database and to assess its diagnostic performance.
Methods: First, we developed and evaluated an ISRGS combining real-time video capture, site identification, lesion detection, subcharacteristics analysis, and structured report generation.

Background & Goals: We observed that the number of colorectal polyps found intraoperatively was often higher than that encountered preoperatively during elective colonoscopic polypectomy. To evaluate whether more polyps can be detected when they are purposely sought than when they are routinely examined during colonoscopy.
Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing colonoscopy were randomized into groups A and B.

Goals: The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and computed tomography (CT) in predicting the maneuvers for therapeutic endoscopy for gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (SMTs).
Methods: Patients with SMTs, who were scheduled for endoscopic resection, were randomized to preoperative performance of both EUS and CT (group A) or EUS only (group B). The following data were collected: therapeutic maneuvers, duration of procedure, dose of propofol, resected lesion size, and complications.
Goals: To examine the benefits and feasibility of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in tandem for distal obstructive jaundice.
Materials And Methods: From September 2007 to August 2012, patients with suspected distal obstructive jaundice were randomized to single-session EUS-ERCP (group A), EUS, and ERCP in different sessions (group B), and an ERCP-only procedure (group C). Data were prospectively collected on the following parameters: ERCP-avoided, duration of procedure, the dose of propofol, complications, and diagnostic yield.
