Background Mucosal healing (MH) is proposed as a therapeutic target for ulcerative colitis (UC). Recent studies have indicated that the rate of clinical relapse in patients with a Mayo endoscopic score (MES) of 1 is higher than that of patients with an MES of 0. However, no study has yet investigated whether therapeutic intervention prevents clinical relapse in patients with an MES of 1. Methods Patients with UC with an MES of 1 and partial Mayo score ≤2 were included in this study. All patients were followed from first colonoscopy (CS) until follow-up CS. Differences in the rate of clinical relapse (requiring additional treatment for UC) or endoscopic exacerbation (MES ≥2 and proximal extension) were compared between the therapeutic intervention (immediately after first CS) group and the nontherapeutic intervention group; risk factors for relapse were also assessed. Results Among 1523 patients with UC who underwent CS between 2013 and 2016, 220 patients were included in this study. The rate of clinical relapse (P = 0.005) and endoscopic exacerbation (P = 0.11) in patients with therapeutic intervention was lower than that in patients without therapeutic intervention. Multivariable analysis indicated that absence of therapeutic intervention (P = 0.001 for clinical relapse, P = 0.050 for endoscopic exacerbation) and a higher Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity vascular pattern score immediately after first CS (P = 0.021 for clinical relapse, P = 0.019 for endoscopic exacerbation) were risk factors for both clinical relapse and endoscopic exacerbation. Conclusions Therapeutic intervention for patients with UC with an MES of 1 might prevent disease relapse.

    © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart . New York. Background The advent of balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) has facilitated the examination of the entire digestive tract. However, using a rigid sliding tube during the procedure reduces patient acceptance. This study evaluated the clinical application of a newly developed ultrathin single-balloon enteroscope for BAE. Methods 28 outpatients underwent enteroscopy with a novel ultrathin single-balloon enteroscope. None of the subjects required therapeutic procedures, such as balloon dilation or hemostasis. The insertability, efficacy, and safety of the ultrathin single-balloon endoscope were evaluated retrospectively. Results 7 patients underwent transoral enteroscopy and 21 patients underwent transanal enteroscopy under conscious sedation. No adverse events related to the procedure were reported in any patients. Targeted observation and/or targeted biopsy were achieved in all procedures. All transoral procedures allowed evaluation of the jejunum beyond the ligament of Treitz. All transanal procedures allowed intubation of the terminal ileum, despite several patients having severe stenosis of the colon and ileum. Conclusion A novel ultrathin single-balloon enteroscope showed adequate insertability and safety for outpatient surveillance enteroscopy under conscious sedation.

Objective To further disseminate the nomenclature of chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 (CEAS), especially for physicians in China and Korea where the genetic feature of SLCO2A1 gene mutations related hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and pachydermia had been extensively studied. SLCO2A1 gene mutations related hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and pachydermia had been extensively studied. Design A case report with literature review of SLCO2A1 gene mutations-related disorders. Results A 38-year-old Korean presented to a tertiary hospital with dizziness, abdominal pain and melena. He had a positive faecal occult blood test on initial workup. Oesophagogastroduodenal endoscopy (OGD), colonoscopy and CT scan were unremarkable and showed no obvious cause for his melena. Capsule endoscope and roentgen barium studies were performed, revealing an erythematous mucosa with ulcers in the jejunum and stenosis to the jejunal-ileal junction. Next-generation sequencing was then performed and discovered point mutations of SLCO2A1 gene's seven exon (940+1 G>A) and 13 exon (1807 C>T) allele. This Korean patient with CEAS is the first documented case noted outside of the Japanese population. Conclusion CEAS is not uniquely found in Japanese individuals. There are lots of similarities between CEAS and primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, the two entity may just be the two sides of one same coin. International and multidisciplined efforts are required to further study this complicated disorder.

    <p>Backgrounds/Aims: In the ABC method, which is a method for risk stratification of gastric cancer using serum anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody and pepsinogen (PG) test, subjects with normal PG and seronegative for H. pylori are named as “Group A” and are regarded as having a low risk of gastric cancer. These “Group A” subjects include unintentionally eradicated cases at relatively high risk, and this study aimed to identify these subjects. Methods: Of the 109 subjects, 76 were classified as uninfected Group A subjects with negative histologic H. pylori infection and no histologic and endoscopic atrophy, and 33 subjects were classified serologically as Group A after successful eradication, which are serologically equal to the unintendedly eradicated cases in Group A. The usefulness of measuring PG levels to detect post-eradication cases was validated by using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The area under the ROC curve for PGI level was 0.736 ± 0.06 (p &lt; 0.01; cutoff value, 37.0 ng/mL; sensitivity, 77.6%; specificity, 72.7%), and that for the PGI/II ratio was 0.660 ± 0.06 (p &lt; 0.01; cutoff value, 5.1; sensitivity, 84.2%; specificity, 43.4%). Conclusion: PGI levels of ≤37 ng/mL and PGI/II ratios of ≤5.1 effectively identified unintendedly eradicated cases in Group A.</p>

    <p>A cystic artery aneurysm is a rare cause of hemobilia. Herein, we report two cases of acute cholecystitis with a ruptured cystic artery pseudoaneurysm. Two patients (a 69-year-old man and an 83-year-old man) were admitted to our hospital because of acute cholecystitis with gallstone impaction in the neck. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) was performed for both patients. After a few days of PTGBD, gallbladder hemorrhage was observed. Abdominal angiography showed cystic artery aneurysm. A transcatheter arterial embolization was therefore performed, followed by an open cholecystectomy. </p>
