Background: Many factors are associated with the development and progression of liver fat and fibrosis; however, genetics and the gut microbiota are representative factors. Moreover, recent studies have indicated a link between host genes and the gut microbiota. This study investigated the effect of patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 (C > G), which has been reported to be most involved in the onset and progression of fatty liver, on liver fat and fibrosis in a cohort study related to gut microbiota in a non-fatty liver population.

Context: Cells derived from neural crest populate several organs. A particular precursor cell, sympathogonia, gives rise to pheochromoblasts and neuroblasts. Due to common origin, tumors originating from pheochromoblasts, such as pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGL), may rarely coexist with ganglioneuroma (GN).

Background/aims: Underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) is the standard resection method for superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors (SNADETs). We developed a novel UEMR technique that creates an anchor by protruding the distal fold with a saline injection (UEMR-A). The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of UEMR-A compared to conventional UEMR (UEMR-C).

Backgrounds: There are no existing data in the literature on the learning curve of French interns in colonoscopy or on the comparison between different frequencies of colonoscopy training modalities. We aimed to assess the number of procedures required for French residents in hepatogastroenterology to achieve competency in colonoscopy.
Methods: The primary outcome was achieving greater than 90% cecal intubation rate (CIR90) competency using the Learning Curve-Cumulative Summation (LC-CUSUM) method.
