Standardized assessment of the gastroesophageal valve during endoscopy, attainable via the Hill classification, is important for clinical assessment and therapeutic decision making. The Hill classification is associated with the presence of hiatal hernia (HH), a common endoscopic finding connected to gastro-esophageal reflux disease. A novel efficient medical artificial intelligence (AI) training pipeline using active learning (AL) is designed. We identified 21,970 gastroscopic images as training data and used our AL to train a model for predicting the Hill classification and detecting HH. Performance of the AL and traditionally trained models were evaluated on an external expert-annotated image collection. The AL model achieved accuracy of 76%. A traditionally trained model with 125% more training data achieved 77% accuracy. Furthermore, the AL model achieved higher precision than the traditional one for rare classes, with 0.54 versus 0.39 (p < 0.05) for grade 3 and 0.72 versus 0.61 (p < 0.05) for grade 4. In detecting HH, the AL model achieved 94% accuracy, 0.72 precision and 0.74 recall. Our AL pipeline is more efficient than traditional methods in training AI for endoscopy.

BACKGROUND: The pathological results obtained from endoscopic forceps biopsy (EFB) do not always align with the findings of postoperative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Furthermore, as ESD becomes more widespread, the number of noncurative endoscopic cases increases; thus, an accurate preoperative diagnosis and an appropriate treatment method are crucial. The purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for postoperative pathological upgrading and noncurative resection and to gather experience in clinical and pathological diagnosis. METHODS: From March 2016 to November 2023, 292 ESD specimens were collected from 262 patients with gastric mucosal lesions. Clinicopathological information, the coincidence rate of pathological diagnosis between EFB and ESD specimens, and risk factors related to noncurative resection were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The overall upgraded pathological diagnosis rate between EFB and ESD was 26.4%. The independent predictors for the upgraded group included proximal stomach lesions, lesion size > 2 cm, surface ulceration, and surface nodules. Twenty of the 235 early gastric cancer (EGC) patients underwent noncurative ESD resection. Multivariate analysis showed that undifferentiated carcinoma and tumor infiltration into the submucosa were significantly associated with noncurative resection. CONCLUSION: Biopsy cannot fully represent the lesions of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (GIN). When a suspected epithelial dysplasia is suspected, a careful endoscopic examination should be conducted to evaluate the lesion site, size, and surface characteristics to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Noncurative endoscopic resection is associated with undifferentiated carcinoma and submucosal infiltration. Clinicians must be familiar with these predictive factors for noncurative resection and select the appropriate treatment for their patients.

Early diagnosis of gastric cancer can improve the prognosis of patients, especially for those with early gastric cancer (EGC), but only 15% of patients, or less, are diagnosed with EGC and precancerous lesions. Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) can improve diagnostic accuracy. We assess the efficacy of ME-NBI in diagnosing ECG and precancerous lesions, especially some characteristics under NBI+ME. This was a retrospective analysis of 131 patients with EGC or gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (IN) who had undergone endoscopic submucosal dissection and were pathologically diagnosed with EGC or IN according to 2019 WHO criteria for gastrointestinal tract tumors. We studied the characteristics of lesions under ME-NBI ,compared the diagnostic efficacy of ME-NBI and white light endoscopy (WLI) plus biopsy, and investigated the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on microvascular and microsurface pattern. The diagnostic accuracy of ME-NBI for EGC, high-grade IN (HGIN), and low-grade IN (LGIN) was 76.06%, 77.96%, and 77.06%, respectively. The accuracy of WLI plus biopsy in diagnosing the above lesions was 69.7%, 57.5%, and 60.53%, respectively. The rate of gyrus-like tubular pattern was highest in LGIN (60.46%), whereas the highest rate of papillary pattern was 57.14% in HGIN and villous tubular pattern was 52% in EGC. Demarcation lines have better sensitivity for differentiating EGC from IN (92.06%). The ME-NBI has higher diagnostic accuracy for EGC than WLI plus biopsy. Demarcation lines and villous and papillary-like microsurface patterns are more specific as EGC and HGIN characteristics. The cerebral gyrus-like microsurface pattern is more specific for LGIN.

Gastric cancer presents a significant global health burden, as it is the fifth most common malignancy and fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Variations in incidence rates across regions underscores the multifactorial etiology of this disease. The overall 5-year survival rate remains low despite advances in its diagnosis and treatment. Although surgical gastrectomy was previously standard-of-care, endoscopic resection techniques, including endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have emerged as effective alternatives for early lesions. Compared to surgical resection, endoscopic resection techniques have comparable 5-year survival rates, reduced treatment-related adverse events, shorter hospital stays and lower costs. ESD also enables en bloc resection, thus affording organ-sparing curative endoscopic resection for early cancers. In this editorial, we comment on the recent publication by Geng et al regarding gastric cystica profunda (GCP). GCP is a rare gastric pseudotumour with the potential for malignant progression. GCP presents a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific clinical manifestations and varied endoscopic appearance. There are several gaps in the literature regarding the diagnosis and management of GCP which warrants further research to standardize patient management. Advances in endoscopic resection techniques offer promising avenues for GCP and early gastric cancers.

PURPOSE: Results of initial endoscopic biopsy of gastric lesions often differ from those of the final pathological diagnosis. We evaluated whether an artificial intelligence-based gastric lesion detection and diagnostic system, ENdoscopy as AI-powered Device Computer Aided Diagnosis for Gastroscopy (ENAD CAD-G), could reduce this discrepancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected 24,948 endoscopic images of early gastric cancers (EGCs), dysplasia, and benign lesions from 9,892 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy between 2011 and 2021. The diagnostic performance of ENAD CAD-G was evaluated using the following real-world datasets: patients referred from community clinics with initial biopsy results of atypia (n=154), participants who underwent endoscopic resection for neoplasms (Internal video set, n=140), and participants who underwent endoscopy for screening or suspicion of gastric neoplasm referred from community clinics (External video set, n=296). RESULTS: ENAD CAD-G classified the referred gastric lesions of atypia into EGC (accuracy, 82.47%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 76.46%-88.47%), dysplasia (88.31%; 83.24%-93.39%), and benign lesions (83.12%; 77.20%-89.03%). In the Internal video set, ENAD CAD-G identified dysplasia and EGC with diagnostic accuracies of 88.57% (95% CI, 83.30%-93.84%) and 91.43% (86.79%-96.07%), respectively, compared with an accuracy of 60.71% (52.62%-68.80%) for the initial biopsy results (P<0.001). In the External video set, ENAD CAD-G classified EGC, dysplasia, and benign lesions with diagnostic accuracies of 87.50% (83.73%-91.27%), 90.54% (87.21%-93.87%), and 88.85% (85.27%-92.44%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: ENAD CAD-G is superior to initial biopsy for the detection and diagnosis of gastric lesions that require endoscopic resection. ENAD CAD-G can assist community endoscopists in identifying gastric lesions that require endoscopic resection.

INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal schwannomas are most commonly found in the stomach. Owing to their nonspecific clinical and endoscopic presentations, distinguishing gastric schwannomas (GS) from other gastric submucosal tumors based on typical symptoms and endoscopic features is challenging. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is safe and effective for GS management; however, no standard method exists for the extraction of large gastric specimens after endoscopic treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 72-year-old Chinese woman who presented with abdominal distension. DIAGNOSIS, INTERVENTIONS, AND OUTCOMES: Gastroscopy revealed a submucosal bulge on the anterior wall of the lower stomach near the greater curvature. Endoscopic ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested a stromal tumor. The patient underwent EFTR of the stomach, and the tumor was successfully removed. The surgical specimen, with a long-axis diameter of approximately 5.5 cm in vitro, was extracted using a snare. Subsequent endoscopic examination revealed longitudinal, full-thickness perforationsâ >â 2 cm at the esophageal entrance. Over 10 metal clips were used to seal the mucosa, and a gastrointestinal decompression tube was placed. Follow-up radiography performed at 1 week postoperatively revealed an esophageal mediastinal fistula, which required subsequent endoscopic intervention to close the fistula using metal clips. The patient showed improvement and was discharged at 3 weeks postoperatively. Follow-up esophageal radiography revealed no abnormalities. Postoperative immunohistochemical analysis indicated CD34 (-), CD117 (-), DOG-1 (-), Ki67 (1%), S-100 (+), SDHB (+), SOX-10 (+), and Desmin (-), confirming the diagnosis of GS. Three months postoperatively, gastroscopy showed that the esophageal perforation healed well, a white ulcer scar had formed locally, metal clips were found in the stomach body, and no recurrence was found. CONCLUSION: EFTR is effective for removing giant schwannomas, although the extraction of large specimens may result in iatrogenic cervical esophageal perforations. Perforationsâ >â 2 cm can be managed using endoscopic metal clip closure.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer (GC) is the most common malignant tumor and ranks third for cancer-related deaths among the worldwide. The disease poses a serious public health problem in China, ranking fifth for incidence and third for mortality. Knowledge of the invasive depth of the tumor is vital to treatment decisions. AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of double contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (DCEUS) for preoperative T staging in patients with GC by comparing with multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS: This single prospective study enrolled patients with GC confirmed by preoperative gastroscopy from July 2021 to March 2023. Patients underwent DCEUS, including ultrasonography (US) and intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), and MDCT examinations for the assessment of preoperative T staging. Features of GC were identified on DCEUS and criteria developed to evaluate T staging according to the 8th edition of AJCC cancer staging manual. The diagnostic performance of DCEUS was evaluated by comparing it with that of MDCT and surgical-pathological findings were considered as the gold standard. RESULTS: A total of 229 patients with GC (80 T1, 33 T2, 59 T3 and 57 T4) were included. Overall accuracies were 86.9% for DCEUS and 61.1% for MDCT (P < 0.001). DCEUS was superior to MDCT for T1 (92.5% vs 70.0%, P < 0.001), T2 (72.7% vs 51.5%, P = 0.041), T3 (86.4% vs 45.8%, P < 0.001) and T4 (87.7% vs 70.2%, P = 0.022) staging of GC. CONCLUSION: DCEUS improved the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative T staging in patients with GC compared with MDCT, and constitutes a promising imaging modality for preoperative evaluation of GC to aid individualized treatment decision-making.

We evaluate the value of oral contrast-enhanced gastric ultrasonography (OCUS) by comparing it with conventional gastroscopy in diagnosing and staging benign peptic ulcer. From July 2018 to December 2020, 44 patients with gastroscopy-confirmed benign peptic ulcers (a total of 45 ulcers were detected), who also received OCUS, were retrospectively reviewed. Each patient's ultrasound images were compared with gastroscopy and pathology findings. The characteristics of ultrasonic images of different stages of ulcer were analysed. A total of 43 ulcers were detected by OCUS in 44 patients with benign peptic ulcers. There were no false positive results among the OCUS exams, but two ulcers were misdiagnosed. OCUS for benign peptic ulcer staging also shows acceptable clinical practice results. OCUS is useful for detecting and staging benign peptic ulcer, and may be considered an alternative method for conventional gastroscopy. OCUS is especially useful in the follow-up of BPU treatment, but futher study is needed to improve the diagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant ulcers.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is technically challenging and requires a high level of skill. However, there is no effective method of exposing the submucosal plane during dissection. In this study, the efficacy of robot arm-assisted tissue traction for gastric ESD was evaluated using an in vivo porcine model. The stomach of each pig was divided into eight locations. In the conventional ESD (C-ESD) group, one ESD was performed at each location (N = 8). In the robot arm-assisted ESD (R-ESD) group, two ESDs were performed at each location (N = 16). The primary endpoint was the submucosal dissection speed (mm2/s). The robot arm could apply tissue traction in the desired direction and successfully expose the submucosal plane during submucosal dissection in all lesion locations. The submucosal dissection speed was significantly faster in the R-ESD group than in the C-ESD group (p = 0.005). The blind dissection rate was significantly lower in the R-ESD group (P = 0.000). The robotic arm-assisted traction in ESD enabled a significant improvement in submucosal dissection speed, blind dissection rate which suggests the potential for making ESD easier and enhancing procedural efficiency and safety.

Aim: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of snare-assisted traction endoscopic full thickness resection (EFTR) on gastric fundus submucosal tumors (SMTs). Methods: The clinical and pathological data of patients with gastric SMTs who underwent EFTR treatment at the Endoscopy Center of Kaifeng Central Hospital from January 2018 to June 2023 were collected. Among them, 36 patients underwent snare-assisted traction EFTR (SAT-EFTR) and 46 patients underwent standard EFTR (S-EFTR). The clinical baseline data, operative data, adverse events, and follow-up results of the two groups were collected and compared. Results: All patients successfully completed EFTR technique. There were 34 male and 48 female patients, with an average age of (56.62 ± 11.31) years. The average operation time was shorter in the snare-assisted EFTR group than the S-EFTR group (73.39 ± 31.33 minutes versus 92.89 ± 37.57 minutes, P = .014). In addition, the resection speed of the snare-assisted EFTR group was also significantly faster than that of the S-EFTR group (4.04 ± 2.23 versus 2.48 ± 0.93 mm2/min, P < .001). There was no statistically significant difference in the age, gender, lesion size, postoperative fasting duration, and postoperative hospitalization stay between the two groups (P > .05). One patient in the SAT-EFTR group developed delayed postoperative perforation which was close with pursestring suture technique. All patients were discharged successfully, and there was no recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Snare-assisted traction of EFTR could shorten the operation time, reduce the difficulty of the operation, and improve the efficiency of the operation. At the same time, this method is simple and easy to learn, more suitable for beginners, and worthy of clinical promotion and application.
