Background And Aims: ORISE (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass, USA) is a viscous gel used for submucosal injection. We noted anecdotally that ORISE is associated with submucosal distortion of EMR scars at follow-up.

Methods: We blindly reviewed photographs of 30 consecutive EMR scars at follow-up after resections using ORISE and 30 resections using other agents. Distortion was scored on a scale of 0 (no submucosal distortion) to 5 (overt submucosal distortion).

Results: The median submucosal distortion score at follow-up in ORISE cases was 3 (range, 0-5) versus 0 (range, 0-2) with other fluids (P < .001, Mann-Whitney U test) by 1 reviewer and 3 (range, 0-5) versus 2 (range, 0-5), respectively, by a second reviewer (P = .018). The kappa value for agreement in the submucosal distortion scores between the 2 experts was .148 for all photographs and .214 for the ORISE cases (overall minimal agreement).

Conclusions: ORISE can cause submucosal distortion in the region of EMR scars when they are viewed at follow-up. Such distortions must not be mistaken for submucosal tumor growth.

Backgrounds: In order to detect early gastric cancer (EGC), this research sought to assess the diagnostic utility of magnifying endoscopy (ME) as well as the significance of mucin phenotype and microvessel features.

Methods: 402 individuals with an EGC diagnosis underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) at the Department of ME between 2012 and 2020. After adjusting for image distortion, high-magnification endoscopic pictures were taken and examined to find microvessels in the area of interest.

The present study aimed to analyse the integrated histopathological lesions (IHLs) of the gill, liver and intestine of Catla catla exposed to the different doses of UV-B radiation. Gill exhibited the lesions like hypertrophy, hyperplasia, vacuolation, fusion of the gill filaments, rupture in the gill lamellae, epithelial cell lifting and necrosis. The UV-B-exposed liver of Catla showed the lesions like the degeneration of nucleus, the disarrangement of hepatocytes, sinusoidal vacuolation, epitheliod histiocyst, hepatocellular adenoma, exocrine adenoma, cyst formation and diffused epithelial necrosis (DEN).

Background: Despite the notable pharmacological potential of natural ginsenosides, their industrial application is hindered by low oral bioavailability. Recent research centers on the production of less-glycosylated minor ginsenosides.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore the effect of a biologically synthesized ginsenoside CK-rich minor ginsenoside complex (AceCK40), on ameliorating colitis using DSS-induced colitis models in vitro and in vivo.
