This Technical and Technology Review from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) represents an update of the previous document on the technical aspects of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided sampling in gastroenterology, including the available types of needle, technical aspects of tissue sampling, new devices, and specimen handling and processing. Among the most important new recommendations are:ESGE recommends end-cutting fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needles over reverse-bevel FNB or fine-needle aspiration (FNA) needles for tissue sampling of solid pancreatic lesions; FNA may still have a role when rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) is available.ESGE recommends EUS-FNB or mucosal incision-assisted biopsy (MIAB) equally for tissue sampling of subepithelial lesions ≥20 mm in size. MIAB could represent the first choice for smaller lesions (<20 mm) if proper expertise is available.ESGE does not recommend the use of antibiotic prophylaxis before EUS-guided tissue sampling of solid masses and EUS-FNA of pancreatic cystic lesions.

Non-targeted metabolomic study in plasma in rats with post-traumatic osteoarthritis model.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differential expression profiles of plasma metabolites in rat models of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and elucidate the roles of metabolites and their pathways in the progression of PTOA using bioinformatics analysis.
Method: Plasma samples were collected from 24 SD female rats to model PTOA, and metabolomic assays were conducted. The samples were divided into three groups: the surgically induced mild PTOA group (Group A: 3 weeks postoperative using the modified Hulth model; age 2 months), the surgically induced severe PTOA group (Group B: 5 weeks postoperative using the modified Hulth model; age 2 months), and the normal control group (Group C: healthy rats aged 2 months).
Spatial Distribution of Brain PET Tracers by MALDI Imaging.

Evaluating tissue distribution of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers during their development conventionally involves autoradiography techniques, where radioactive compounds are used for visualization and quantification in tissues during preclinical development stages. Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) offers a potential alternative, providing spatial information without the need for radioactivity with a similar spatial resolution. This study aimed to optimize a MSI sample preparation protocol for assessing PET tracer candidates with a focus on two compounds: UCB-J and UCB2400.

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder in which endometrial-like tissue presents outside the uterus. Patients with endometriosis have been shown to exhibit aberrant immune responses within the lesion microenvironment and in circulation which contribute to the development of endometriosis. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an alarmin involved in cell proliferation and the induction of T helper 2 (Th2) inflammation in various diseases, such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, and pancreatic and breast cancer.

Chondrocytes in articular cartilage can secrete extracellular matrix to maintain cartilage homeostasis. It is well known that articular cartilage chondrocytes are sensitive to mechanical loading and that mechanical stimuli can be translated to biological processes. This study provides deep insight into the impact of mechanical loading on chondrocytes via single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the lung constitute a rare entity of primary lung malignancies that often exhibit an indolent clinical course. Epigenetics-related differences have been described previously for lung NET, but the clinical significance remains unclear. In this study, we performed genome-wide methylation analysis using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip technology on FFPE tissues from lung NET treated at two academic centers.
