Objective To evaluate the clinical feature and potential reasons of delayed papillary bleeding after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP),and search for effective hemostasis and strategies.Methods A total of 76 patients with post-ERCP bleeding underwent endoscopic treatment in the Eastern Hepatobiliary Hospital from August 2000 to August 2016.Clinical data,haemostatic methods,and treatment outcomes of patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results Delayed papillary hemorrhage mostly occmred within 48 hours after ERCP (67.2％,45/67),with main manifestations of hematemesis,bloody stool,and bile.The lowest incidence of delayed bleeding was detected after endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (EPBD,0.1％),which was followed by papillary precut (0.6％) and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST,0.9％).And EST+EPBD had the highest incidence of delayed post-ERCP papillary hemorrhage (2.4％).The most bleeding site was the left side of the incision (67.1％,51/76).Emergent endoscopic interventions were applied in all patients with success of hemostasis in 71 out of 76 (93.4％),and injection with diluted epinephrine,electric coagulation,hemoclipping,and metal stenting were used sequentially for hemostasis.Among the 71 successful cases of hemostasis,66 patients were performed endoscopic hemostasis for once,4 patients took twice,and 1 case took thrice.Endoscopic hemoclipping was the most commonly used method with successful rate of 76.9％ (50/65) for hemostasis.Conclusion Precut papillotomy is safe and effective,and its complication occurrence rate is similar to that of EST.Hemorrhage should be prevented and timely dealt with in small/median EST and/or EPBD.Once hemorrhage is suspected clinically,endoscopic inventions should be applied timely,and hemoclipping is a safe and effective method.

Objective To evaluate the value of fecal calprotectin (FC) and stool lactoferrin (SL) for detecting endoscopic activity and monitoring postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease.Methods Publications in Pubmed,Embase,Science Direct,Springer Link,CBM,Cnki,Wan fang and VIP database before January 1 st 2016 were searched manually.Papers were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Quality assessment was conducted by QUADAS-2 scale.Meta-Disc 1.4 was used to analyze the heterogeneity of included articles.The pooled sensitivity,specificity,positive likelihood,negative likelihood were calculated respectively and the SROC curve was drawn.Stata 12.0 was used to assess the publication bias.Results A total of 19 papers in English language were included.The pooled sensitivities of FC,SL in detecting endoscopic activity and FC in monitoring postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease were 86％ (95％ CI:84％-88％),72％ (95 ％ CI:66％-79％),80％ (95％ CI:75％-84％),respectively.The specificities were 71％ (95％CI:67％-75％),84％ (95％ CI:74％-91％),65％ (95％ CI:59％-70％),respectively.The areas under the SROC curve were 0.865 6,0.834 6,0.811 0 respectively.The cut-off values of FC in detecting endoscopic activity of Crohn disease were set to ＜ 100 μg/g,100-＜200 μg/g or ≥ 200 μg/g with the area under the SROC curve being 0.898 7,0.788 8,0.888 8,respectively.The cut-off values of FC in monitoring postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease were set to 100-＜ 150 μg/g,150-＜200 μg/g or ≥ 200 μg/g with the areas under the SROC curve being 0.677 4,0.859 4 and 0.759 5,respectively.Conclusion FC and SL have higher diagnostic efficiency than C-reaction protein and are worthy of clinical promotion in detecting endoscopic activity and monitoring postoperative recurrence of Crohn disease.However,endoscopy cannot be replaced.

Objective To investigate the correlation between chronic hepatic diseases and small intestinal inflammation.Methods Patients who received capsule endoscopy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University were divided into groups of liver cirrhosis,non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),chronic hepatitis and non-hepatic disease according to clinic data from August 2011 to August 2015.The severity of small intestinal mucosal inflammation was graded according to Lewis Scoring system and incidence of small intestinal lesions in different groups and Lewis scores were compared.The liver function was also graded with liver noninvasive scoring systems.Then the correlation between liver function damage and small intestinal lesions was investigated.Results A total of 338 cases were enrolled in the study,including 25 cases of liver cirrhosis,47 cases of NAFLD,20 cases of chronic hepaitis and 246 cases of non-hepatic disease.There were 22 (88.0％),36 (76.6％),12 (60.0％) and 78 (31.7％) cases with lesions in small intestine in the four group respectively with significant differences(P＜0.001).Rate of small intestinal villi edema was significantly higher in liver cirrhosis group,NAFLD group,chronic hepatitis group than that in non-hepatic disease group(all P＜0.017).Small intestinal villi edema was found mainly in the upper and one third of middle parts in small intestine (P =0.033).Lewis scores of liver cirrhosis group (190.80±228.42)and NAFLD group(125.38± 191.31) were higher than those of non-hepatic disease group (42.91±97.69,P=0.021,P =0.034).Forns score,FIB-4 score,NAFLD-FS score and Child-Pugh score were positively correlated with Lewis score (correlation coefficient:0.247,0.244,0.223,0.284respectively,all P＜0.001).Conclusion Chronic hepatic diseases such as liver cirrhosis,NAFLD,chronic hepatitis might be risk factors for small intestinal mucosal inflammation,and the severity of chronic hepatic diseases may be positively correlated with that of small intestinal mucosal lesions.

Objective To study the missed diagnosis of colorectal polyps during colonoscopy and its risk factors.Methods Data of 655 patients who underwent repeated co]onoscopy in 3 months (90 days) were analyzed in three endoscopy centers in Shenzhen.Miss rates of polyps and patients were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the suspected risk factors associated with the miss rate including gender,age,symptoms of patient and number,shape,location of polyps.Results A total of 459 polyps(20.47％,459/2 242) in 224 patients(34.20％,204/655) were missed in overall 1 783 polyps within 655 patients.The patient miss rate increased with the polyp count increasing from 1 to 4,but with no significant differences.Polyp count of more than 5 was the independent risk factor for patient miss rate during colonoscopy(OR=4.98,P=0.00).Polyps in males were easier to be missed than those in females (OR =1.76,P =0.00).Size less than 5 mm was the independent risk factor for missed diagnosis during colonoscopy(OR=2.94,P=0.00).The flat type(Yamada Ⅰ,Ⅱ) was also the independent risk factor(OR=2.72,P=0.01;OR=3.23,P=0.00 respectively).Conclusion The miss rate of polyps is related to gender,basic polyp count,the size and shape of polyp.Male with multiple polyps and polyps with flat type and small size tend to be missed.

Objective To evaluate necessity of colonoscopy in symptomatic subjects with colorectal neoplasia screening score.Methods Data of consecutive patients who underwent routine colonoscopy between October 2015 and December 2015 were prospectively collected.APCS score and HKCS score were used to evaluate the detection rate of colorectal tumors in groups of different risks and to predict the necessity of colonoscopy in symptomatic subjects.Results There were 815 subjects with mean age of 51.2± 14.8 years.Colorectal neoplasia and advanced neoplasia were identified in 170 (20.9％) and 43 (5.3％) cases.APCS score was classified as average risk (AR),moderate risk (MR) and high risk (HR),which included 234,400 and 161 cases,respectively.The detection rates of colorectal neoplasia in AR,MR and HR groups were 9.5％,20.0％ and 41.0％,respectively,and those of advanced neoplasia were 0％,5.5％ and 13.0％,respectively.Detection rate of colorectal neoplasia in the HR group showed 6.7 times of that in the AR group (95％CI:3.9-11.2).HKCS score was classified as AR and HR,which included 633 and 182 cases in the present study.The detection rates of colorectal neoplasia in these groups were 16.3％ and 36.8％,and those of advanced neoplasia were 3.2％ and 12.6％.Detection rate of colorectal neoplasia in HR group was 3.0 times of that in AR group (95％CI:2.1-4.3).Conclusion APCS score and HKCS score are both suitable for evaluating the necessity of colonoscopy in symptomatic subjects.It is necessary for HR patients to undergo colonoscopy to detect colorectal neoplasia,however,AR patients evaluated by APCS score can delay colonoscopy to economize medical resources and avoid unnecessary complications.

Objective To investigate the application value of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) for gastric diseases in physical examination of asymptomatic population.Methods Data of 211 asymptomatic individuals who received MCE examinations from July 2015 to December 2016 in Changhai Hospital were collected and rctrospectively analyzed.The tolerance and safety of MCE were studied by analyzing the detection rate for the focal lesions and the rate of endoscopy transfer.Results Among 211 patients,the detection rate of the gastric focal lesions was 9.5％ (20/211).The detection rate in male was higher than that in female (P＜0.05).All patients completed MCE examination successfully and no adverse event was reported.Conclusion MCE,a non-invasive endoscopic modality,is safe and better tolerated than conventional endoscopy,and can be used as a promising approach to screening the gastric diseases in asymptomatic population due to high detection rate of these diseases.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of twin grasper combined with endoloops on closing acute stomach perforation.Methods Two experimental porcines of stomach perforation underwent endoscopic closure by twin grasper combined with endoloops.Survival conditions and closure of perforating were observed.Results Mild infection and abdominal adhesions were observed in one week after operation.The nylon rope fell off and an ulcer-like lesion was presented in the closed position.The methylene blue leak test was negative.Histologic examination revealed chronic inflammatory cells infiltration,granulation,fibroplasias,and regenerative mucous membrane crawling toward the center of perforation.Conclusion The technique of twin grasper combined with nylon ropes in closing the acute stomach perforation is feasible and effective.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of mesh and non-mesh techniques in laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernias (LRLHH).Methods A retrospective clinical controlled study of mesh and non-mesh techniques in LRLHH form January 2006 to August 2014 was performed.Results A total of 83 and 36 patients were recruited to mesh and non-mesh group respectively.There were no significant differences in operation time,operation bleeding volume,hospitalization time or complications between the two groups.Main symptoms were significantly improved during the postoperative long-term follow-up in both groups.The improvement of dysphagia in mesh group showed no significant difference [22.9％ (19/83) VS 12.0％ (10/83),P=0.066],however,non-mesh group showed significant difference [30.6％ (11/36) VS 5.6％ (2/36),P=0.006].Rate of dysphagia alleviation in non-mesh group was significantly higher than that in mesh group [25.0％ (9/36) VS 10.8％ (9/83),P =0.048].Mesh-related complications of esophageal erosions occurred in 5 patients (6.0％) in mesh group,including esophageal stenosis in 3 patients,esophageal-cardiac stricture in 1 patient.Recurrent hernia occurred in 1 patient (1.2％) in mesh group and 3 patients (8.3％) in non-mesh group (P =0.082).Conclusion LRLHH with mesh should be individualized.The use of mesh in LRLHH reduces the recurrence rate,but may lead to some complications.

Objective To analyze the etiology of pseudoachalasia.Methods Patients who were diagnosed as having pseudoachalasia in Endoscopy Center of The Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from September 2010 to June 2015 were retrospectively analysed.Results A total of 12 patients were enrolled in this study,6 males and 6 females.The median age,median disease duration and median Eckcardt score was 54.5(24.0～71.0) years old,2.5(0.2～ 10.0) years and 4(3～9),respectively.Seven cases were caused by malignant tumors,2 had benign tumors,and 3 peptic stricture.Conclusion The most common cause of pseudoachalasia is malignant tumors.Accurate diagnosis relies on the comprehensive medical history and complete examinations.
