RESUMEN
The process of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is inva-sive, and its related treatments have a potential risk of complications, which poses certain obstacles to its safe promotion. Therefore, it is very important to standardize the management of ERCP compli-cations and promote the widespread development of ERCP in China. The authors interpret the back-ground, significance, and key issues that need to be paid attention to in the Guidelines for the management of complications of duodenal perforation associated with ERCP in China ( 2023 edition), in order to facilitate ERCP physicians to better grasp and apply the guidelines, provide guidance and reference for the standardized management of ERCP related complications of duodenal perforation, and promote the popularization and widespread development of ERCP in China.
RESUMEN
Recently, the International Association of Pancreatology published a revised edition of the guidelines for the management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. The guidelines mainly focus on five topics, i.e., revision of “high-risk stigmata” and “worrisome features”, surveillance of unresected IPMN, surveillance after resection of IPMN, revision of pathological aspects, and research on molecular markers in cyst fluid, in order to provide the best evidence-based reference for clinical practice. This article makes an excerpt of the key points in the guidelines.
RESUMEN
Objective:To compare the feasibility and safety of a new portable endoscopic system and the conventional endoscopic system for the detection and emergency treatment of abdominal trauma in animal models.Methods:Three healthy Bama pigs, which were fasted and water deprivation for 8 h before surgery and then underwent induction anesthesia. A layer-by-layer incision was made into the abdominal cavity of Bama pigs. An artificial pneumoperitoneum was established using a laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum machine. A bullet model was inserted into the abdominal cavity to build the bullet wound model. After the bullet model was removed, a shrapnel model was inserted into the mid-abdomen to build the shrapnel wound model. The two types of endoscopic system were used to detect, remove bullet model or shrapnel model of the three Bama pigs respectively. The procedure order of the two systems was assigned according to the random number table method. The surgical success, operation time, endoscopy pipeline patency, endoscopic operation satisfaction, adverse events and equipment defects were recorded.Results:Three surgeries were performed using the new portable endoscopic system and three other surgeries using the conventional endoscopic system, all of which were successful. The time of the new portable endoscopic system to find and remove the bullet model, and the shrapnel model were 232.33±11.68 s, 300.33±57.70 s, 170.00±44.44 s and 52.67±2.52 s, respectively. The corresponding time of the conventional endoscopic system were 232.67±21.20 s ( t=-0.054, P=0.962), 256.67±67.00 s ( t=0.880, P=0.472), 176.00±52.42 s ( t=-0.111, P=0.922), 58.67±14.84 s ( t=-0.832, P=0.493), respectively. There was no significant difference between the two systems ( P>0.05). The endoscopy tubes of the two endoscopic systems were both smooth. The operator was satisfied with the endoscopic procedures of both endoscopic systems, and no adverse event or device defect occurred. Conclusion:The portable endoscopic system proves to be safe and feasible for the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal trauma in animal models.
RESUMEN
With the increase in global life expectancy, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases is increasing year by year. Studies have confirmed that patients with different types of neurodegenerative diseases have circadian rhythm disorder and gut microbiota dysregulation. The occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases and circadian rhythm disorder are mutually causal, and in this causal relationship, gut microbiota may play an important role. Gut microbiota affects the communication between gut and brain through "microbiota ⁃ gut ⁃ brain axis", and can affect neural development. Gut microbiota dysregulation can increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. At the same time, the diurnal fluctuation of gut microbiota themselves is also regulated by the host biological clock. This article reviewed the progress of research on relationship of circadian rhythm disorder and gut microbiota involved in neurodegenerative diseases.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the value of endoclip-assisted and submucosal injection-assisted cannulation techniques for difficult cannulation during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods:Data of 12 458 patients treated with ERCP for the first time in the First Affilated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty eight (0.22%) were identified as difficult cannulation where metal clip- or submucosal injection-assisted cannulation was used. The selective cannulation success rate, intubation time and complication incidence of the two techniques in difficult cannulation patients were analyzed.Results:Difficult cannulation was performed in 18 males (64.3%) and 10 females (35.7%) with an age of 69.6±14.1 years assisted by metal clips or submucosal injection. Five cases (17.9%) were type Ⅱ, 5 cases (17.9%) type Ⅲ, and 18 cases (64.3%) type Ⅴ according to papilla classification. Sixteen patients (57.1%) received metal clip-assisted cannulation, and 12 cases (42.9%) submucosal injection-assisted cannulation. Twenty-five (89.3%) patients successfully underwent selective cannulation with the cannulation time of 9.9±4.3 min. One case (3.6%) of mild post-ERCP pancreatitis and 3 cases (10.7%) of post-ERCP hyperamylasemia occurred. No postoperative bleeding or perforation occurred. All patients were cured and discharged after conservative treatment.Conclusion:When selective cannulation is difficult due to poor papilla exposure or deflection, endoclip- or submucosal injection-assisted cannulation can effectively improve the successful selective cannulation rate during ERCP with low complication incidence, which is worth of clinical promotion.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of linaclotide combined with compound polyethylene glycol (PEG) on bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods:This trial was a multicenter randomized controlled study. Subjects scheduled for colonoscopy in 3 digestive endoscopy centers of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, Shanxi Province People's Hospital and the 900th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force from November 2021 to March 2022 were randomly assigned to 3 groups using completely random method. The bowel preparation of group A was 3-day linaclotide with 3 L PEG, that of group B was only 3 L PEG, and group C was 3-day linaclotide with 2 L PEG. The primary outcome was the rate of adequate bowel preparation, and the secondary outcomes were the rate of excellent bowel preparation, the completion rate of bowel preparation and the willingness to repeat the corresponding bowel preparation regimen.Results:A total of 130 subjects were enrolled, including 46 in group A, 43 in group B, and 41 in group C. There was no significant difference among the 3 groups in the rate of adequate bowel preparation [95.7% (44/46), 93.0% (40/43) and 95.1% (39/41), χ2=0.465, P=0.893], the rate of excellent bowel preparation [43.5%(20/46), 25.6% (11/43) and 34.1% (14/41), χ2=3.151, P=0.207], or the completion rate of bowel preparation [95.7% (44/46), 95.3% (41/43) and 100.0% (41/41), χ2=1.909, P=0.544]. However, there were significant differences in the willingness to repeat the corresponding bowel preparation regimen among the 3 groups [89.1% (41/46), 74.4% (32/43) and 100.0% (41/41), χ2=12.862, P=0.002]. The bowel preparation completion and willingness rate of subjects in group C were both 100.0%, which were higher than those in group A and group B. Conclusion:Linaclotide is able to improve the quality of bowel preparation and reduce the amount of PEG.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the effect of air sterilization station on air quality control of digestive endoscopy center through a national multi-center dynamic monitoring research.Methods:This study was conducted jointly with 15 digestive endoscopy centers in different regions of China. Each center selected 2 endoscopy rooms using level 4 and level 3 digestive endoscopy techniques, one with an air sterilization station (the experimental group) and the other without the device (the control group). The concentrations of PM 5 and PM 0.5 in the rooms before and after the use of air sterilization station were detected and compared. Results:The air quality of all research units failed to reach the standard air cleanliness level 8 without using air sterilization station. After using the air sterilization station, the PM 5 concentration and PM 0.5 concentration of the experimental group in each center under dynamic conditions were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was significant ( P<0.05). The PM 5 concentration and PM 0.5 concentration in the experimental group at each center showed a decreasing trend with start-up time, with significant difference at different start-up times ( P<0.05). The PM 5 concentration could reach the air cleanliness level 8 standard 15.7 minutes after the air sterilization station started, and the PM 0.5 concentration could reach the air cleanliness level 8 standard 25.0 minutes after the air sterilization station started. Conclusion:In the dynamic environment of the digestive endoscopy center, the air sterilization station can significantly improve the air quality in the endoscopy rooms, which is worth promoting in endoscopy rooms of medical institutions of all levels.

RESUMEN
Objective:To identify the risk factors and develop nomogram for idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) patients with common bile duct stricture (CBDS).Methods:The clinical data of 1 633 ICP patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology of First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2000 to December 2013 were collected retrospectively and prospectively. The patients were classified into CBDS group ( n=259) and non-CBDS group ( n=1 374) according to whether CBDS occurred. The cumulative incidence of CBDS after the onset and diagnosis of ICP were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. After excluding patients who had developed CBDS before/or at the diagnosis of ICP, the remaining patients were randomly divided into the training set and the validation set. The univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to establish a risk predicting nomogram for CBDS after ICP onset. Its clinical application value was evaluated through the consistency index (C index). Results:15.9%(259/1 633) of patients developed CBDS after the onset of ICP. The cumulative incidence of CBDS at 3, 5, and 10 years after the onset of ICP was 9.6% (95% CI 0.082-0.111), 11.2% (95% CI 0.097-0.129) and 16.2% (95% CI 0.142-0.184), respectively. 9.4%(143/1 517) of patients developed CBDS after the diagnosis of ICP. The cumulative incidence of CBDS at 3, 5, and 10 years after the diagnosis of ICP was 8.3% (95% CI 0.069-0.099), 8.9% (95% CI 0.074-0.105) and 13.3% (95% CI 0.110-0.162), respectively. Univariate analysis found that factors including gender, age at onset of ICP, age at diagnosis of ICP, being adolescents at onset of ICP, smoking history, alcohol intake, initial manifestations, pancreatic duct stones, fatty steatorrhea, main pancreatic duct (MPD) morphology and pain type were significantly different between CBDS group and non-CBDS group. Multivariate analysis showed that male ( HR 2.134, 95% CI 1.336-3.408), age at diagnosis of ICP ( HR 1.038, 95% CI 1.024-1.052), first manifestation (pancreatic abdominal pain) and main duct morphology (complex lesion) were identified as independent risk factors for CBDS in ICP patients. A nomogram for predicting CBDS after ICP diagnosis was established based on the above four variables. The nomogram had a C-index of 0.740 (95% CI 0.700-0.790) for internal validation in the training set and 0.650 (95% CI 0.570-0.730) for external validation in the validation set. Conclusions:The nomogram established in this study can evaluate the risk of developing CBDS in ICP patients, benefit the early diagnosis and timely intervention of CBDS in clinical practice, and prevent potential related complications.

RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the feasibility of 400 mL Sprite Zero ? in gastric preparation for magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) . Methods:A randomized controlled trial at the Department of Gastroenterology of Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University from December 16th, 2019 to January 15th, 2020 was conducted. The patients and healthy volunteers who intended to receive MCE were randomly divided into the Sprite Zero ? (S) group and the water (W) group at 1∶1. For subjects in the W group, 800 mL water was taken 10 minutes before swallowing the capsule. And for subjects in the S group, 400 mL Sprite Zero ? was taken. The primary endpoint was gastric filling score and the secondary endpoint included the fullness score, gastric transit time (GTT), small bowel transit time (SBTT), completion rate (CR) for small bowel examination and the diagnostic yield. Results:A total of 102 subjects were enrolled, 52 subjects in the S group and 50 subjects in the W group. The median score of gastric filling was 4 at 0-5 min, >5-10 min and >10-15 min after taking the capsule in both groups, with less median liquid consumption in the S group than the W group (500 mL VS 950 mL, P<0.001). The S group showed lower median fullness score (7.0 scores VS 7.5 scores, P=0.030) and higher proportion of patients with GTT less than 30 minutes [69.57% (16/52) VS 27.59% (8/29), P=0.030] compared with the W group. The CR of small bowel examination in the S group was 100.00%, higher than that of the W group (89.66%, P=0.245). Conclusion:Compared with 800 mL water, 400 mL Sprite Zero ? can fully fill the stomach with more comfort. It has the potential to accelerate gastric emptying and improve the CR of small bowel examination, which is feasible for the gastric preparation.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the independent risk factors for fever after endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods:From January 2016 to April 2021, 51 patients with early esophageal cancer, who were treated with RFA in the Department of Gastroenterology, Changhai Hospital and whose lesion range exceeded 3/4 of the circumference of esophagus, were included in the case-control study. Patients were divided into fever group ( n=15) and non-fever group ( n=36) according to whether they had fever after operation. The general condition of patients, family history of gastrointestinal tumors, lesion length, lesion range, ablation energy and ablation times were mainly collected for univariate analysis. The variables with P<0.1 were further included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the independent risk factors for fever after RFA. Results:Univariate analysis showed that the lesion length ( t=-3.89, P<0.001), lesion range ( χ2=11.52, P=0.001) and ablation energy ( P=0.001) were significantly different between the two groups. Pearson correlation showed that there was a significant positive correlation between lesion length and lesion circumference ( r=0.71, P<0.001), and the lesion range was determined by the lesion circumference length. Therefore, the two variables of lesion length and ablation energy were finally included in the logistic regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of fever after RFA was 1.21 times as high as that before when the length of esophageal lesions increased by 1 centimeter (95% CI: 1.01-1.43, P=0.037). The risk of fever after RFA using 12 J ablation energy was 0.43 times as high as that using 10 J ablation energy (95% CI: 0.22-0.85, P=0.015). Conclusion:Lesion length and ablation energy are independent risk factors for fever after esophageal RFA. Patients with long segment early esophageal cancer and using low ablation energy are more likely to have fever after RFA.

RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate suspension in the treatment of peptic ulcer.Methods:This present study was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, positive drug parallel controlled phase Ⅱ clinical trial. According to different indications, the trial was divided into gastric ulcer (GU) and duodenal ulcer (DU) studies. Patients were stratified-block randomly divided with a 1∶1 ratio into experimental group and control group. The patients in the experimental group were administrated with omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate suspension omeprazole (20 mg for DU or 40 mg for GU, and 1 680 mg sodium bicarbonate) once a day. The patients in the control group received omeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablet20 mg for DU or 40 mg for GU once a day. The treatment period was 4 weeks for DU and 8 weeks for GU. The main efficacy indicator was ulcer healing rate under endoscopy. The time of pain disappearance and the total effective rate of clinical symptom relief were used as the secondary efficacy indicators, and the incidence of adverse reactions was used as the safety indicator. The data set included full analysis set (FAS), per-protocol set (PPS) and safety set (SS). Independent sample t test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi square test, Fisher exact test method and non-inferiority test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Two hundred and seventy two DU patients and 237 GU patients were included in the FAS, 247 DU patients and 201 GU patients were included in the PPS, and 272 DU patients and 235 GU patients were included in the SS. The results of FAS analysis showed that after 4 weeks treatment, the healing rate of DU under endoscopy in the experimental group was 91.91% (125/136) and that in the control group was 94.85% (129/136), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After 8 weeks treatment the healing rate of GU under endoscopy in the experimental group was 86.44% (102/118) and that in the control group was 87.39% (104/119), and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of non-inferiority analysis showed the lower limit of 95% confidence interval of difference in effective rate between the two groups was over -10% (-8.84% for DU and -9.54% for GU), which indicated that the effective rate of experimental group was not inferior to that of the control group. The results of PPS analysis were consistent with the results of FAS. The results of FAS analysis showed the median time of abdominal pain disappearance of DU patients in the experimental group and the control group was both 6 d, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The median time of abdominal pain disappearance of GU patients in the experimental group and the control group was both 8 d, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, the total effective rates of clinical symptom relief of DU of the trial group and the control group were 95.59% (130/136) and 97.79% (133/136), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After 8 weeks of treatment, the total effective rates of clinical symptom relief of GU of the experimental group and the control group were 95.76% (113/118) and 93.28% (111/119), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The results of SS analysis showed that the incidence of adverse reactions of DU patients in the trial group and the control group was 5.15% (7/136) and 2.21% (3/136), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions of GU patients in the experimental group and the control group was 12.71% (15/118) and 6.84% (8/117), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate suspension is not inferior to omeprazole magnesium enteric-coated tablet in healing efficacy under endoscopy in peptic ulcer, and has a good safety.
