Objective: To introduce the WHO 2000 diagnostic criteria of biopsy of colorectal intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma and to enhance diagnostic accuracy and avoid overdiagnosis and underdiagnosis.
Method: The postoperative pathological examination and preoperative biopsy in 56 patients diagnosed as colorectal intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma before operation from January 2001 to October 2005 were compared retrospectively.
Results: Among the 56 cases, 16 patients were diagnosed by preoperative biopsy as carcinoma in situ, intramucosal carcinoma and adenocarcinoma, but according to the new standard, of them 14 cases should be revised to be higher grade colorectal intraepithelial neoplasia.
Conclusions: Strictly adhere to the new WHO criteria, colorectal intraepithelial neoplasia and carcinoma can be diagnosed properly, but for the cases that submucosal muscular layer would not presented in biopsy, the diagnosis should be made by combining clinical findings and various examination results so as to avoid underdiagnosis and delay of treatment.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density is both a prognostic and a predictive factor in colorectal cancer (CRC). Whether the heterogeneity of TIL density across the tumor plays an important role in the clinical outcome of CRC is not well known. Adjuvant chemotherapy-treated patients with stage III CRC were analyzed for survival according to TIL density and density heterogeneity, which were determined on CD8-immunostained slides using a machine learning method and by calculating the Simpson evenness index, respectively.

Oat beta-glucans (OBGs) are known for their beneficial effects on gut health, including anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two doses (1% or 3% /) of dietary low-molar-mass OBG supplementation on colorectal cancer (CRC) development, immune cell profiles, intestinal barrier protein expression, and microbiota composition in a rat model of CRC induced by azoxymethane (AOM). Microbiome analysis revealed significant differences between the control and CRC groups.

Female reproduction comes at great expense to energy metabolism compensated by extensive organ adaptations including intestinal size. Upon mating, endocrine signals orchestrate a 30% net increase of absorptive epithelium. Mating increases production of the steroid hormone Ecdysone released by the Drosophila ovaries that stimulates intestinal stem cell (ISC) divisions.

Experimental Design: We screened 47 cases of MeC from Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital cohort.

For pedunculated colon polyps, en bloc resection with inclusion of the polyp stalk is necessary to yield an accurate histologic staging. This can be challenging in cases of a large polyp and/or broad stalk using conventional snare resection. We evaluated the feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for large pedunculated polyps with broad stalks.
