RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The practice of endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) often diverges from evidence-based standards due to various factors, including inadequate dissemination of evidence or a mismatch between evidence and real-world contexts. This survey aimed to identify discrepancies between evidence-based standard practices and community standard practices for ESCC among endoscopists. METHODS: An online survey targeting endoscopists who perform upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at least weekly was conducted to collect data on clinical practices related to ESCC diagnosis. The survey, comprising 20 questions, was disseminated through multiple professional networks. Descriptive statistical analysis and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data. RESULTS: Data from 819 endoscopists were included in the analyses. Notably, a significant proportion employed narrow-band imaging/blue-laser imaging over iodine staining, and preferences varied based on risk assessment for ESCC. In total, 64.0% of endoscopists primarily used iodine solution at a concentration of 1% or less, while 96.5% of endoscopists performed an observation of the oral cavity and the pharynx when conducting upper gastrointestinal endoscopies on individuals at high risk of ESCC. The surveillance interval for metachronous multiple ESCCs was most commonly every 6 months, followed by every 12 months. In addition, most physicians conducted surveillance of metastatic recurrence at 6-month intervals. CONCLUSIONS: This survey highlights significant gaps between evidence-based and community standard practices in the endoscopic diagnosis of ESCC. These findings underscore the need for enhanced dissemination of evidence-based guidelines and consideration of real-world clinical contexts to bridge these gaps and optimize patient care.

RESUMO

Background A dedicated stool container is required for Helicobacter pylori stool antigen testing. If H. pylori fecal antigen can be measured from a fecal occult blood test container (S fecal collection container or S container), which is widely used for colorectal cancer screening, screening of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract can be performed with a single stool sample. We investigated the clinical usefulness of an H. pylori stool antigen assay using an S container. Patients and Materials A total of 347 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were included. After the procedure, H. pylori stool antigen was measured using the S container and collection container recommended for H. pylori stool antigen (BL-stool collection container or BL container), and the qualitative outcomes of each were compared. A bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) was used to measure H. pylori stool antigen. Results The overall agreement between S containers and BL containers was 100% (347/347), indicating that the qualitative outcomes were equivalent. As a secondary analysis, the results of the S container samples were evaluated according to the diagnosis made by physicians, and the overall agreement rate was 99.7% (345/346), indicating a high correlation. Conclusion The detection of H. pylori stool antigen using the S container is clinically useful because the results are equivalent to those obtained by the usual method. Screening of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract is expected to be possible with a single stool sample in the future.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Non-curative endoscopic resection of T1 colorectal cancer (CRC) carries a substantial risk of recurrence. However, previous studies have reported a significant proportion of cases in which the deep margin of endoscopic resection was positive for cancer due to the technical difficulties of colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). With the advancement of endoscopic technology and techniques resulting in the reduction of positive resection margins, it is important to reassess the long-term prognosis and major risk factors for recurrence in cases of negative deep margins. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with T1 CRC who underwent endoscopic resection between January 2006 and December 2021 with negative deep margins. The histological findings of the resected specimens were analyzed to determine the risk factors associated with the primary outcomes of this study, including recurrence and cancer-related deaths. RESULTS: The median age of the 190 patients was 70 years, of which 63% were male, and endoscopic treatment was performed in 64% by endoscopic mucosal resection and 36% by ESD. Eighty-two patients were in the curative resection (CR) group and 108 were in the non-curative resection (NCR) group, wherein the latter comprised 79 patients who underwent additional surgery (AS) and 29 patients who did not receive AS. Five-year recurrence-free survival rates were 98.4% (95% CI: 89.3-99.8) for CR, 98.3% (95% CI: 88.8-99.8) for NCR with AS, and 73.7% (95% CI: 46.5-88.5) for NCR without AS. Lymphatic invasion and budding grade 2/3 were the major risk factors for recurrence, with hazard ratios of 40.7 (p < 0.001) and 23.1 (p = 0.007), respectively. Of the patients in the NCR group without AS, the 5-year recurrence-free rate was 85.6% (95% CI: 52.5-96.3) if there were no major risk factors (i.e., no lymphatic invasion or budding grade 2/3) (n = 21), whereas the prognosis was poor in the presence of one or more of the major risk factors, with a median recurrence-free survival and disease-specific survival of 2.5 and 3.1 years, respectively (n = 8). DISCUSSION: In endoscopically resected T1 CRC with negative deep margins, lymphatic invasion or budding grade 2/3 may indicate a higher risk of recurrence when followed up without AS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/AIM: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is an effective screening method for early detection of gastric cancer. The GAGLESS mouthpiece has a structure that widens the pharyngeal cavity and suppresses the pharyngeal reflex. This study aimed to investigate the acceptability, safety, and feasibility of transnasal and peroral ultrathin endoscopy using GAGLESS mouthpieces (Clinical Trial Number: UMIN000036922). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label trial performed using a questionnaire. The study included 101 consecutive patients who visited the participating medical institutions between June 2019 and March 2022 (median age=47 years, range=24-87 years; all male). Patients aged ≥20 years at the time of consent acquisition who were the first to undergo EGD were included in the study. The primary endpoint was the degree of distress during EGD, as determined using a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: The VAS score during endoscopic passage through the pharynx was significantly better in the transnasal endoscopy group than in the oral endoscopy group (2.420 vs. 4.092, p=0.001). There was no significant difference in the VAS scores between the two groups during anesthesia or throughout the examination. Compared with nasal endoscopy, oral endoscopy with a GAGLESS mouthpiece did not reduce the VAS score but did significantly improve gastric visibility. CONCLUSION: For patients in whom there was difficulty in inserting a nasal endoscope, using a GAGLESS mouthpiece rather than a conventional mouthpiece may be more useful in reducing pain.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Treatment strategies for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SESCC) are determined mainly on the basis of the invasion depth. The Japan Esophageal Society (JES) developed a simplified magnifying endoscopic classification for estimating the invasion depth of SESCC. We aimed to evaluate its accuracy. METHODS: We prospectively applied the JES classification for estimating the invasion depth of SESCC to 204 consecutive lesions from 6 hospitals in Japan between April 2016 and October 2018. We analyzed the accuracy of the endoscopic diagnosis by adding the following two categories to the JES classification: ≥ 7 mm lesion in B2 vessels (defined as B2 ≥ 7 mm) and B2 vessels with inflammation (defined as B2i). RESULTS: After applying the exclusion criteria, 201 lesions remained in the analysis. The diagnostic value of type B1, B2, B3 vessels were as follows: sensitivity, 93.9%, 68.0%, 25.0%; specificity, 81.1%, 89.2%, 99.4%; positive predictive value (PPV), 95.6%, 47.2%, 75.0%; negative predictive value (NPV), 75.0%, 95.1%, 95.4%; and accuracy, 91.5%, 86.5%, 95.0%, respectively. A retrospective analysis showed that the diagnostic accuracy was higher in type B2 vessels (86.5% to 92.0%). An avascular area (AVA) was found in 55 (27%) of the 201 lesions, which tended to be associated with a deeper pathological diagnosis of each Type B vessel. In an additional analysis, B2 ≥ 7 mm and B2i improved the diagnostic accuracy of type B2 vessels from 86.5% to 92.0%. CONCLUSIONS: The JES classification is useful for estimating the invasion depth of SESCC. The diagnostic accuracy for type B2 vessels was low, which may be improved by using B2 ≥ 7 mm and B2i.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma (SNADA) is a rare disease, and therefore, its clinical characteristics have not been comprehensively investigated. Furthermore, owing to the high complication rates and severity of endoscopic resection, treatment strategies vary among facilities. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics and course of SNADA.We extracted clinical and histological records of SNADA cases diagnosed in 11 hospitals between September 1999 and August 2014. The patients were divided into "no-resection" and "resection" groups based on the initial treatment approach. We investigated the long-term outcome of the "no-resection" group and treatment results of the "resection" group, with particular interest in endoscopic resection.Overall, 299 patients were diagnosed with SNADA. The median age at diagnosis was 67 years (range, 31-88 years), with approximately twice as many men as women. The median tumor size was 8.0 mm (2-60 mm). In total, 161 patients were initially selected for no-resection and 138 underwent resection. Age >70 years and the presence of either severe illness or poor performance status were significantly related to opting for no-resection. In the no-resection group, 101 patients underwent endoscopic follow-up for at least 1 year. During the observational period (2.5 ±â€Š2.2 years), 27 lesions (27%) disappeared following cold forceps biopsy, and 13 lesions (14%) presented lateral growth. Four lesions (4%) changed to mucosal carcinoma, 3 were treated endoscopically, and 1 was surgically resected. Nineteen patients died; however, no one died of duodenal carcinoma. In the endoscopic resection group, en bloc resection was achieved in 78% of patients. However, the complication rate for perforation was 7%, and endoscopic submucosal dissection was associated with a 36% perforation rate.With the low incidence of cancer development and no disease specific death, the strategy of initially not performing resection could be considered especially for the older adults, poor-prognosis patients, or small lesions.

RESUMO

Characteristics of the chronotypes of patients with gastrointestinal disease are unknown. We evaluated chronotypes of patients with upper gastrointestinal diseases with the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ). A total of 2027 subjects from 29 institutions in Japan who had undergone esophagogastroduodenoscopy were asked to answer the MCTQ. The subjects' chronotypes were divided into three groups (early, intermediate, and late chronotype) using the sleep-corrected mid-point of sleep on free days (MSFSC) values. According to their endoscopic diagnosis and abdominal symptoms, the subjects were divided into the reflux esophagitis (RE) group, gastroduodenal ulcer (GDU) group, upper gastrointestinal carcinoma (CA) group, functional dyspepsia (FD) group, non-FD group, and control group. In total, 1128 subjects were eligible for the analysis. The MSFSC (average ± standard deviation, clock hours, h) of each disease group was as follows: control group: 02.51 ± 1.22, non-FD group: 02.69 ± 1.14, FD group: 02.91 ± 1.19, RE group: 02.58 ± 1.05, GDU group: 02.47 ± 1.31, and CA group: 02.11 ± 1.08 h. Compared to the control group, the rate of late chronotype of the FD group significantly increased to 33.3%, whereas that of early chronotype of the CA group significantly increased to 38.3% (P = .0177 and 0.0036, respectively). In both the FD and CA groups, chronotype was the independent factor related to the diseases. The adjusted odds ratio of late chronotype to early chronotype was 3.01 [95% CI, 1.23-7.35] in the FD group and 0.44 [95% CI, 0.23-0.85] in the CA group. In conclusion, late chronotype was common in patients with FD, and early chronotype was common in patients with upper gastrointestinal carcinoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Although sporadic non-ampullary duodenal adenoma is speculated to be precancerous lesion, the relationship between adenoma and carcinoma remains unclear due to their rarity. Previous studies on sporadic non-ampullary duodenal epithelial neoplasm (SNADEN) have mainly targeted superficial tumors, like adenoma and early carcinoma. The clinicopathological features, including those of advanced carcinoma, remain poorly investigated. We assessed the clinicopathological features of SNADEN, including advanced carcinoma, focusing on tumor location. METHODS: We retrospectively collected the data of 410 patients who had been clinically and pathologically diagnosed with SNADEN at 11 institutions in Japan between June 2002 and March 2014. RESULTS: The SNADEN was mucosal neoplasia and invasive carcinoma in 321 (78.3%) and 89 (21.7%) patients, respectively. The proportion of invasive carcinomas in SNADEN was significantly higher on the oral side of the papilla of Vater (oral-Vater) than on the anal side (anal-Vater) (27.9% vs 14.4%, P < 0.001). Undifferentiated-type carcinoma was significantly more frequent with oral-Vater than anal-Vater (38.7% vs 14.8%, P = 0.026). The recurrence rate of surgically R0 resected locally advanced carcinomas was significantly higher with oral-Vater than anal-Vater (46.4% vs 8.3%, P = 0.021). Furthermore, the relapse-free survival with oral-Vater was significantly shorter than with anal-Vater (hazard ratio: 2.35; 95% confidence interval: 1.09-5.50; P = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: The clinicopathological features of SNADEN on oral-Vater were different from those on anal-Vater. SNADEN on oral-Vater was more likely to be invasive carcinomas and might behave more aggressively due to biologically higher malignancy than that on anal-Vater.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare malignancy that accounts for 1-2% of gastrointestinal tumours. We investigated the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and prognostic factors of primary SBA. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed the characteristics and clinical courses of 205 SBA patients from 11 institutions in Japan between June 2002 and August 2013. RESULTS: The primary tumour was in the duodenum and jejunum/ileum in 149 (72.7%) and 56 (27.3%) patients, respectively. Sixty-four patients (43.0%) with duodenal adenocarcinoma were asymptomatic and most cases were detected by oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), which was not specifically performed for the detection or surveillance of duodenal tumours. In contrast, 47 patients (83.9%) with jejunoileal carcinoma were symptomatic. The 3-year survival rate for stage 0/I, II, III, and IV cancers was 93.4%, 73.1%, 50.9%, and 15.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed performance status 3-4, high carcinoembryonic antigen, high lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), low albumin, symptomatic at diagnosis, and stage III/IV disease were independent factors for overall survival (OS). Ten patients (18.5%) with stage IV disease were treated with a combination of resection of primary tumour, local treatment of metastasis, and chemotherapy; this group had a median OS of 36.9 months. CONCLUSIONS: Although most SBA patients were diagnosed with symptomatic, advanced stage disease, some patients with duodenal carcinoma were detected in early stage by EGD. High LDH and symptomatic at diagnosis were identified as novel independent prognostic factors for OS. The prognosis of advanced SBA was poor, but combined modality therapy with local treatment of metastasis might prolong patient survival.

RESUMO

Background and study aim Magnifying narrow-band imaging (M-NBI) is useful for the accurate diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC). However, acquiring skill at M-NBI diagnosis takes substantial effort. An Internet-based e-learning system to teach endoscopic diagnosis of EGC using M-NBI has been developed. This study evaluated its effectiveness. Participants and methods This study was designed as a multicenter randomized controlled trial. We recruited endoscopists as participants from all over Japan. After completing Test 1, which consisted of M-NBI images of 40 gastric lesions, participants were randomly assigned to the e-learning or non-e-learning groups. Only the e-learning group was allowed to access the e-learning system. After the e-learning period, both groups received Test 2. The analysis set was participants who scored < 80 % accuracy on Test 1. The primary end point was the difference in accuracy between Test 1 and Test 2 for the two groups. Results A total of 395 participants from 77 institutions completed Test 1 (198 in the e-learning group and 197 in the non-e-learning group). After the e-learning period, all 395 completed Test 2. The analysis sets were e-learning group: n = 184; and non-e-learning group: n = 184. The mean Test 1 score was 59.9 % for the e-learning group and 61.7 % for the non-e-learning group. The change in accuracy in Test 2 was significantly higher in the e-learning group than in the non-e-learning group (7.4 points vs. 0.14 points, respectively; P < 0.001). Conclusion This study clearly demonstrated the efficacy of the e-learning system in improving practitioners' capabilities to diagnose EGC using M-NBI.Trial registered at University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000008569).

RESUMO

The importance of enteroscopy examinations to investigate the entire length of the small intestines has been emphasized in follicular lymphoma patients with intestinal involvement. The aim of the present study was to determine the current state of enteroscopy examinations, including the performance rate, and the prevalence of small intestinal lesions in a patient population in Japan. A retrospective multicenter survey of 17 institutions collected the case information of 110 follicular lymphoma patients with gastrointestinal involvement. The results of the enteroscopy examinations were reviewed, and in order to identify potential factors affecting the performance rate of enteroscopy, patient gender, age at lymphoma diagnosis, histopathological grade, clinical stage, the date of the initial diagnosis and the annual volume of enteroscopy at the institution were compared between the patients who underwent one or more enteroscopy procedures and the patients who did not undergo enteroscopy. A total of 34 patients (30.9%) underwent enteroscopy, and 24 of these (70.6%) presented with involvement in the jejunum and/or ileum. It was found that more patients diagnosed in recent years and more patients treated at an ultra-high volume institution (≥101 enteroscopy examinations/year) underwent an enteroscopy. In conclusion, although the prevalence of small intestinal lesions was high (70.6%) in the follicular lymphoma patients presenting with intestinal involvement, the performance rate of enteroscopy was only 30.9%, and thus the majority of the patients have not undergone enteroscopy examinations. Further investigation is required to define the clinical significance of enteroscopy at the initial diagnostic work-up and during the follow-up period of these patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Propofol administration via a target-controlled infusion system with bispectral index monitoring (BIS/TCI system) is expected to prevent complications from sedation during complex and long endoscopic procedures. We evaluated the feasibility of setting the BIS/TCI system for non-anesthesiologist administration of propofol (NAAP) during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: From May 2009 to February 2013, 250 patients with esophagogastric neoplasms were treated with ESD using the BIS/TCI system with NAAP. In the TCI system, the initial target blood concentration of propofol was set at 1.2 µg/mL. The titration speed of propofol was adjusted according to the BIS score and the movement of the patient. The BIS target level ranged from moderate to deep sedation, at which a stable BIS score between 60 and 80 was obtained. RESULTS: In 80.4 % of patients, it was possible to maintain stable sedation with a blood concentration of propofol of less than 1.6 µg/mL using TCI throughout the ESD procedure. The default setting for ideal blood concentration of propofol was 1.2 µg/mL, because the medians of the lower and upper bounds of blood concentration were 1.2 µg/mL (range 0.6 - 1.8 µg/mL) and 1.4 µg/mL (range 1.0 - 3.8 µg/mL), respectively. Although hypotension occurred in 27 patients (10.8 %), oxygen desaturation occurred in only nine patients (3.6 %), and severe desaturation in only two patients (0.8 %). CONCLUSIONS: Using our settings, it is possible for a non-anesthesiologist to maintain stable sedation during a lengthy endoscopic procedure through propofol sedation with a BIS/TCI system.

RESUMO

A 66-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with heartburn and liver dysfunction. She was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. After the initiation of chemotherapy with trastuzumab, capecitabine, and cisplatin, she developed hyponatremia and renal failure with renal salt-wasting syndrome (RSWS). She recovered from these conditions after infusion of hypertonic saline. A diagnosis of RSWS should be considered in patients with hyponatremia who receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The optimal method of perioperative management of antiplatelet agents during endoscopic procedures that carry a high risk of bleeding is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety of continuing aspirin treatment during these procedures in an Asian population. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study was conducted at six high volume endoscopy centers in Japan. The study included patients at high risk of thromboembolism who were regularly taking antiplatelet agents (e. g. thienopyridine derivatives and aspirin). Enrolled patients continued their aspirin therapy, and underwent endoscopic procedures that had a high risk of bleeding for treatment of lesions in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts. The primary end point was the rate of major bleeding complications after endoscopic procedures. RESULTS: The study was terminated in accordance with predetermined safety criteria because 7 of 28 consecutive patients experienced major bleeding complications (25.0 %; 95 % confidence interval 10.7 % - 44.9 %). All major bleeding complications occurred following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD; 6 stomach, 1 colon). Univariate analysis showed that postoperative administration of thienopyridine derivatives was the only significant factor associated with postoperative bleeding (P = 0.01). Subanalysis of gastric ESD (23 lesions in 19 patients) confirmed that the administration of thienopyridine derivatives (P = 0.01) and that of multiple agents (P = 0.02) were the significant factors. All bleeding complications (postoperative day 11.2 ±â€Š3.5) occurred after resuming thienopyridine derivative therapy postoperatively (postoperative day 2.3 ±â€Š2.4). CONCLUSION: In Asian patients taking thienopyridine derivatives with aspirin, cautious postoperative care is necessary for those undergoing endoscopic procedures that are associated with a high risk of bleeding, especially gastric ESD. Continuation of aspirin alone during these endoscopic procedures may be acceptable. STUDY REGISTRATION: UMIN000009176.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with gastrointestinal bezoars and their response to therapy. Patients We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 19 patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal bezoars at the Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences or one of 15 collaborating institutions between December 2004 and August 2013. We investigated the epidemiology and etiology of the gastrointestinal bezoars by determining the gender, age at diagnosis, medical history, symptoms, complications, modalities used for diagnosis, treatments, outcomes and bezoar location, color and contents. RESULTS: There were 17 patients with gastric bezoars and two patients with small intestinal bezoars. All patients were 62 years of age or older, except for one case of a trichobezoar in a 10-year-old patient. Some of the patients had a history of surgery of any part of the gastrointestinal tract (n=5) and/or diabetes mellitus (n=2). The two patients with small intestinal bezoars required surgical removal in order to relieve ileus. Approximately one-half of the patients with gastric bezoars had ulcerations in the stomach (9/17 patients, 52.9%) and/or gastrointestinal bleeding (8/17, 47.1%). Endoscopic fragmentation was performed in 10 patients, whereas bezoar dissolution was achieved with a gastroprokinetic agent (n=1) and without any treatment (n=3) in the remaining cases. CONCLUSION: As previously reported, elderly individuals with a positive history of surgery and/or diabetes mellitus were observed in this bezoar patient series. Gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding were frequently observed. The majority of patients underwent endoscopic fragmentation, while spontaneous resolution of the gastric bezoar was observed in several cases.

RESUMO

A 73-year-old Japanese man with synchronous follicular lymphoma and adenocarcinoma of the stomach underwent curative surgical resection. The follicular lymphoma lesion was preoperatively diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) according to biopsy samples. However, postoperative pathological evaluations revealed components of CD10-positive and CD10-negative lymphoma cells within the lymphoma lesion. This case highlights the potential difficulty of diagnosing gastric follicular lymphoma. In such cases, conducting repeat pathological examinations of biopsy samples or resected specimens is required to obtain a correct diagnosis of follicular lymphoma.

RESUMO

AIM: To investigate the capacity for 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) to evaluate patients with gastrointestinal lesions of follicular lymphoma. METHODS: This retrospective case series consisted of 41 patients with follicular lymphoma and gastrointestinal involvement who underwent 18F-FDG-PET and endoscopic evaluations at ten different institutions between November 1996 and October 2011. Data for endoscopic, radiological, and biological examinations performed were retrospectively reviewed from clinical records. A semi-quantitative analysis of 18F-FDG uptake was performed for each involved area by calculating the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). Based on the positivity of 18F-FDG uptake in the gastrointestinal lesions analyzed, patients were subdivided into two groups. To identify potential predictive factors for 18F-FDG positivity, these two groups were compared with respect to gender, age at diagnosis of lymphoma, histopathological grade, pattern of follicular dendritic cells, mitotic rate, clinical stage, soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels detected by 18F-FDG-PET, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, hemoglobin levels, bone marrow involvement, detectability of gastrointestinal lesions by computed tomography (CT) scanning, and follicular lymphoma international prognostic index (FLIPI) risk. RESULTS: Involvement of follicular lymphoma in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, and rectum was identified in 1, 34, 6, 3, 2, 3, and 6 patients, respectively. No patient had esophageal involvement. In total, 19/41 (46.3%) patients exhibited true-positive 18F-FDG uptake in the lesions present in their gastrointestinal tract. In contrast, false-negative 18F-FDG uptake was detected in 24 patients (58.5%), while false-positive 18F-FDG uptake was detected in 5 patients (12.2%). In the former case, 2/19 patients had both 18F-FDG-positive lesions and 18F-FDG-negative lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. In patients with 18F-FDG avidity, the SUVmax value of the involved gastrointestinal tract ranged from 2.6 to 17.4 (median: 4.7). For the 18F-FDG-negative (n = 22) and -positive (n = 19) groups, there were no differences in the male to female ratios (10/12 vs 4/15, P = 0.186), patient age (63.6 ± 2.4 years vs 60.1 ± 2.6 years, P = 0.323), presence of histopathological grade 1 vs 2 (20/2 and 17/2, P = 1.000), follicular dendritic cell pattern (duodenal/nodal: 13/5 vs 10/3, P = 1.000), mitotic rate (low/partly high, 14/1 vs 10/3, P = 0.311), clinical stage according to the Ann Arbor system (stages IE and IIE/other, 15/7 vs 15/4, P = 0.499), clinical stage according to the Lugano system (stages I and II-1/other, 14/8 vs 14/5, P = 0.489), soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels (495 ± 78 vs 402 ± 83, P = 0.884), LDH levels (188 ± 7 vs 183 ± 8, P = 0.749), hemoglobin levels (13.5 ± 0.3 vs 12.8 ± 0.4, P = 0.197), bone marrow involvement (positive/negative, 1/8 vs 1/10, P = 1.000), detectability by CT scanning (positive/negative, 1/16 vs 4/13, P = 0.335), and FLIPI risk (low risk/other, 16/6 vs 13/6, P = 0.763), respectively in each case. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that it is not feasible to predict 18F-FDG-avidity. Therefore, 18F-FDG-PET scans represent a complementary modality for the detection of gastrointestinal involvements in follicular lymphoma patients, and surveillance of the entire gastrointestinal tract by endoscopic examinations is required.

RESUMO

A 52-year-old Japanese woman who was eventually diagnosed with primary follicular lymphoma of the duodenum showed atypical endoscopic features, namely, erosions with peripheral whitish edematous mucosa. Initial biopsy specimens taken from the erosions revealed insufficient numbers of lymphoma cells for histological diagnosis. Subsequent biopsy specimens from the peripheral mucosa containing the whitish enlarged villi showed infiltration of the lymphoma cells forming lymphoid follicles, which led us to the appropriate diagnosis. This case indicates that endoscopists should take biopsy samples from the peripheral mucosa with whitish enlarged villi rather than erosions in the rare instances that erosions appear as the main macroscopic feature of intestinal follicular lymphoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although hyoscine butyl bromide (HB) and glucagon (GL) are often used as antispasmodic drugs during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), these agents may cause adverse effects. Recently, it was reported that peppermint oil solution (PO) was very effective and had few side effects. AIM: We clarified the efficacy and usefulness of PO as an antispasmodic during upper endoscopy, especially for elderly patients. METHODS: This study was a non-randomized prospective study. The antispasmodic score (1-5, where 5 represents no spasm) was defined according to the degree of spasms of the antrum and difficulty of biopsy. We compared the antispasmodic scores between non-elderly patients (younger than 70) and elderly patients (70 years old or older) according to the antispasmodic agent. RESULTS: A total of 8,269 (Group PO: HB: GL: NO (no antispasmodic) = 1,893: 6,063: 157: 156) EGD procedures were performed. There was no significant difference in the antispasmodic score between Group PO (mean score ± standard deviation: 4.025 ± 0.925) and Group HB (4.063 ± 0.887). Among the non-elderly patients, those in Group PO (n = 599, 3.923 ± 0.935) had a worse antispasmodic score than those in Group HB (n = 4,583, 4.062 ± 0.876, P < 0.001). However, among the elderly patients, those in Group PO (n = 1,294, 4.073 ± 0.917) had similar scores to those in Group HB (n = 1,480, 4.064 ± 0.921, P = 0.83), and significantly better scores than those in Group GL (n = 69, 3.797 ± 0.933, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Peppermint oil was useful as an antispasmodic during EGD, especially for elderly patients.
