Background And Aim: Patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) are at increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). The endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia (EGGIM) with high-definition endoscopes has shown the potential to facilitate GC risk stratification. However, a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of published articles are lacking. We conducted a meta-analysis to access the value of EGGIM in the assessment of histological IM.
Materials: Studies were selected from PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane (last selection, Jun 2022). We extracted relevant data to calculate the accuracy of EGGIM compared with the operative link of gastric intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM) and to calculate pooled odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) assessing GC risk with different grading.
Results: Four diagnostic studies and three case-control clinical trials were included in the analysis, which included 665 patients and 738 patients, respectively. Compared with OLGIM III/IV, EGGIM(5-10) had a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.92(95%CI 0.86-0.96) and 0.90(95%CI 0.88-0.93), and the area under the curve(AUC) was 0.9702. In assessing early GC, the pooled OR of patients with EGGIM(5-10) was 7.46(95%CI 3.41-16.31) compared with that of EGGIM(0-4).
Conclusions: EGGIM is highly consistent with OLGIM, and patients with EGGIM(5-10) are at a higher risk for early GC. Some heterogeneity in the current research suggests that we need to carry out more strict control of confounding factors.

Objective: The difficulty of establishing slow release at intestinal infection sites, weak antibacterial effects, as well as the limited broad use of florfenicol oral formulations are the main targets of the current study. Novel hydrogels derived from sodium alginate were developed using a complexation form for florfenicol delivery to achieve slow release at the site of intestinal infection and enhance its antibacterial activity against .
Methods: The optimal formulation, physicochemical properties, stability, pH-responsive performance, antibacterial activity, and in vitro biosafety of the florfenicol hydrogels have been studied systematically.

Advancements in surgical stapling devices play a crucial role in improving outcomes for bariatric procedures. This study evaluates the performance and safety of a new endoscopic stapler (EnDrive® Beluga) regarding perioperative results across multiple bariatric surgery types. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 112 patients who underwent bariatric procedures using the Beluga stapler at two centers in the United Arab Emirates and Kenya over a 6-month period (June-December 2023).

Giant colonic diverticulum is an uncommon presentation of colonic diverticular disease. It is characterised by the presence of a diverticulum exceeding 4 cm in size, with approximately 90% of the cases involving the sigmoid colon. Typically, diagnosis relies on CT of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP).

Nanoplastics, in combination with pathogenic microorganisms or toxic substances, have been shown to induce oxidative stress and disrupt energy and lipid metabolism, posing significant health risks. This study evaluated the toxic effects of co-exposure to nanoplastics and Helicobacter pylori on the digestive system of mice. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the accumulation of AuPS-NPs (Au-core polystyrene nanoplastics) in the stomach, colon, and liver, while hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed dose-dependent pathological damage in these tissues.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the monthly variation patterns of bioelectrical impedance (BEI) along 24 meridian pathways in healthy individuals.
Methods: A cohort of 684 healthy middle-aged participants from North China was enrolled between July 1, 2017, and September 5, 2020. BEI measurements were consistently recorded along the 24 meridian pathways over the study period.
