Objective To assess whether a follow-up endoscopy after endoscopic submucosal dissec-tion(ESD)for gastric lesions is effective for prevention of delayed bleeding. Methods Papers published in Medline,Embase,Cochrane library,Elsevier,Wanfang,VIP and CNKI were searched for the studies eval-uating the efficacy of follow-up endoscopy for reducing delayed postoperative bleeding after ESD for gastric le-sions. Statistic analyses were performed using RevMan 5. 1 software. Results A total of 10 studies including 4 randomized control trials and 6 cohort studies were enrolled. Analysis of these studies showed that the inci-dence of delayed bleeding was not significantly different between the patients receiving a follow-up endoscopy and those not(OR= 1. 38,95% CI:0. 89-2. 13,P= 0. 15). Also,there was no difference in the incidence of delayed bleeding between the prophylactic hemostasis and nonprophylactic hemostasis groups( OR = 1. 45, 95% CI:0. 65-3. 22,P= 0. 36). Conclusion A follow-up endoscopy after gastric ESD may contribute little to the prevention of delayed bleeding,but may be useful for the high-risk patients,which can control the bleeding rate at a low level.

Objective To elucidate cerebral cortical response to esophageal acid exposure in normal individuals by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the characteristics of activity. Methods Fifteen volunteers were received intraesophageal perfusion with either 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid (0.1 mmol/L HC1) solutions. The modified block-design model of fMRI scanning was performed simultaneously. All of 32 minutes were needed for resting (A, 8 minutes), 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion (B,8 minutes), acid perfusion (C,8 minutes) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D,8 minutes). Each chunk was consisted of 160 scans and every scan contained 3 seconds. Six hundred and forty scans were collected in all. The clinical response to esophageal acid exposure was observed and the changes in the cerebral regions was statistically analyzed. Results After perfusion of 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid, 10 out of 15 volunteers had chemosensitive complaints, such as pain in pars laryngen pharyngis, heartburn and chest complaint. The initial active domains involved deutocerebrum, anterior part of callosal gyrus, left side of insula, two sides of amygdale and subiculum hippocampi, two outers of forehead cortex. The provoked regions of acid perfusion (C-A) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D-A) were as same as that of the activated domains by initial perfusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (B-A). The intensity and amplitude of most provoked regions increased gradually(D-A> B-A, P< 0.01). Conclusions The two different stimulations of saline and acid provoke similar cerebral regions that may act in the regulation of esophageal sensitivity. There are the evidences of the central mechanism of esophageal visceral hypersensitivity by acid perfusion.

Objective To investigate the changes of esophageal visceral sence stimulated by esophageal distention in rabbits and the protein expressions of calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP),P substance(SP),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),Fos protein in central nervous system(CNS).Methods Twenty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group(n=8,received esophageal distention with 0.9 cm balloon for 30 s twice a day for 14 days),control group(n=6,received esophageal stimulation without balloon for 30 s twice a day for 14 days)and blank control grouop(n=6).The esophageal visceral sense was evaluated by animal behavior scores.The expressions of SP,CGRP,5-HT and Fos protein esophagus mucosa,spine,nucleus tractus solitari (NTS),periaqueductal gray(PAG)and thalamus were measured by immunochistochemistry.Results At the same behavior scores,the tube diameter of experimental group was significant lower than those of control group(P<0.05).The expression of SP in esophagus mucosa,spine and NTS was significant increased in experimental group compared to two control groups(P<0.05).The expression of CGRP and Fos in esophagus mucosa.spine,NTS,PAG and thalamus was increased in experimental group compared to two control groups(P<0.05).The expression of 5-HT in esophagus mucosa and spine was higher in experimental group than that in control and blank control groups (esophagus: 27.67±3.27 vs 11.00±1.79 or 11. 17±1.33;spine:24.00±5.22 vs 11.33±2.94 or 11. 83±2. 48, P<0. 01). But the expression of 5-HT in PAG was lower in experimental group( 13. 17±2.04) than that in control 17.67±2.07)and blank control (16.83±2.32) groups (P<0. 05). There was significant correlation between CGRP and Fos, SP and Fos, CGRP and SP in spine (r=0. 813,0. 779,0. 772,P=0. 025,0.034, 0. 036, respectively). Conclusions Esophageal hypersensitivity may be induced by esophageal distention. The expresstion of SP, CGRP, 5-HT was increased in the esophageal mueosa and CNS, which indicate that these neurotransmitters and CNS may play an important role in the increase of esophageal visceral sense.

Objective To evaluate the expression of substance P (SP) and caltenin gene related peptide (CGRP) in esophagueal mucosa from patients with non-erosive gnstroesophageal reflux disease (NERD) and reflux esophagitis (RE) and to explore their role in the development of NERD. Methods Fif-ty-one patients with typical symptoms of gnstroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were evaluated with reflux disease questionnaire (RDQ), PPI test, endoscopy and 24hr esophageal pH monitoring. The patients were then divided into RE group (n = 21), NERD group with acid refluux (NERD+, n = 12) and NERD group without acid reflux (NERD-, n = 18) according to the evaluation results. The expression of SP and CGRP in esophagus mucosa from these patients and 10 healthy control subjects were assayed by immunohistochemis-try, and the stain positive index (PI) was calculated by Color patho-image analysis software and compared. Results The PIs of SP and CGRP in NERD- group were 96.77±31.74 and 24.76±29.15, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of NERD+ group (73.64±31.38, 9.78±10.30, respectively, P < 0.05), RE group (67.56±34.62, 9.61±6.20, respectively, P < 0.05) and control group (59.82± 46.15, 8.64±12.12, respectively, P < 0.05). Conclusion Expressions of SP and CGRP in esophagus mucosa from NERD patients without detectable acid reflux are significantly increased, they may play an im-portant role in esophageal visceral sensitivity.
