Objective To evaluate the clinical value of narrow band imaging(NBI)for diagnosis of malignant and premalignant gastric lesions.Methods The gastric lesions,pits and microvascularity were observed using conventional endoscopy followed by narrow band imaging(NBI)and chromoendoscopy(0.2%indigo carmine)as well as magnifying endoscopy(×80)in 217 patients.The quality of images obtained by different endoscopies was evaluated and compared to pathologic interpretations. Results Of 217 patients,non-atrophic gastritis was found in 85 cases,chronic atrophic gastritis in 38 cases,mild dysplasia in 19 cases,moderate dysplasia in 9 cases,severe dysplasia in 4 cases,early gastric cancer in 5 cases,advanced gastric cancer in 20 cases and intestinal metaplasia in 91 cases.The NBI endoscopy was superior to conventional endoscopy and chromoendoscopy in finding gastric lesions(P=0.000).The gastric microvascularity was more clearly seen on images obtained by NBI combined with magnifying endoscopy in comparison with conventional endoscopy and chromoendoscopy(P=0.000).There were six patterns in description of gastric pits with NBI endoscopy.Type Ⅲ,Ⅳ or Ⅴ1 was usually found in chronic atrophic gastritis,type Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ1 or Ⅴ2 in intestinal metaplasia,type V1 or Ⅳ in dysplasia and type Ⅵ in suspected malignant lesion.Conclusions NBl with magnifying endoscopy is helpful in improving the biopsy accuracy of malignant and dysplastic lesions and in detecting early gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of narrow band imaging(NBI) in diagnosis of early gastric cancer(EGC) and dysplasia. Methods 217 patients were enrolled. Routine endoscopy followed by narrow band imaging (NBI), then chromoendoscopy (indigo carmine) combined magnifying endoscopy was sequentially used. The gastric pits and microvasculuture were carefully observed. According to the NBI ima-ges, the biopsy samples were taken in suspicious area to identify malignant and premalignant gastric lesions. The patients with gastric cancer or severe dysplasia required endoscopic uhrasonography(EUS), then EGC or severe dysplasia ones needed endoscopic therapy or surgery. Results In silhouette of gastric lesion, NBI is the clearest in the above three endoscopic methods. Both mucosal pit and epithelium capiUary were shown much clearer by NBI than by routine endoscopy. Of 217 patients, 19 cases of mild dysplasia, 9 cases of moderate dysplasia, 4 cases of severe dysplasia and 5 cases of EGC were finded according to histopathological diagnosis. Six patterns of gastric pits were summarized by NBI. Dysplasia usually behaviored as V1 or Ⅳ gastric pits,and Ⅵ mucosal pit were suspected malignant lesion. Tumorous vessels can be seen in 3 cases of EGC. Conclusion By narrow band imaging system with magnifying endoscopy, the micro gastric mucosal structure can be shown much clear. That is helpful for improving the accuracy of malignant lesion on endo-scopic target biopsies and finding early gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of imaging techniques and endoscopy in detection the causes of post-hepatic obstructive jaundice.Methods The clinical data of 57 patients with post-hepatic obstructive jaundice were retrospectively studied.The causes of the obstruction and the findings of uhrasonography(US),computerized tomography(CT),magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)or MRIcholangiopancreatography(MRCP),endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)were compared.Results The causes of 57 patients with post-hepatic obstruetive jaundice were benign obstruction in 42(including stones in common bile duct in 38,ascariasis of CBD in 1,postoperative stricture in 2 and chronic pancreatitis in 1),and malignant lesions in 15(including pancreatic head carcinoma in 11 and ampullary carcinoma in 4).The diagnostic accuracy in terms of lesion location of US,CT,MRI+MRCP,ERCP and EUS were 71.93%(41/57),88.00%(22/25),94.59% (35/37),100.00%(47/47)and 96.77%(30/31),respectively;the diagnostic accuracy of cause of obstruction were 63.16%(36/57),80.00%(20/25),83.78%(31/37),100%(47/47)and 96.77% (30/31),respectively.Conclusion Benign diseases are the main causes of post-hepatic obstructive jaundice,but malignant ones are not rare.It is important to combine miscellaneous imaging techniques and endoscopy in diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the new model of group screening combined with opportunistic screening for the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.Methods:Group screening combined with opportunistic screening was used for gastric cancer screening. (1) Group screening. Cluster sampling was used to screen gastric cancer by endoscopy in high-risk population (aged 40-<70 years) of rural residents in Weihai from July 2017 to December 2020, and biopsy was obtained for histopathology if necessary. Main collection parameters included the detection rate of advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN). (2) Opportunistic screening. The changes of the detection rates of early gastric cancer in opportunistic screening in 2 hospitals in Weihai area were observed during the same period of time.Results:(1) In group screening, from July 2017 to December 2020, the first batch of 8 000 cases of gastric cancer screening were completed. The cases of advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer and HGIN were 36, 28, and 62, respectively. The detection rates of gastric cancer and early gastric cancer were 0.80% (64/8 000) and 43.75% (28/64), respectively. The proportion of early gastric cancer+HGIN who received endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was 77.78% (70/90), and the rate of curative resection was 100.00%(70/70). (2) Opportunistic screening: from July 2017 to December 2020, the annual early gastric cancer detection rates in opportunistic screening in Wendeng District Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital were 16.67% (1/6), 20.00% (3/15), 23.53% (4/17), and 33.33% (6/18) in the consecutive 4 years, respectively. The annual detection rates of early gastric cancer in opportunistic screening in Ru Shan Peoples Hospital were 14.74% (14/95), 23.80% (60/252), 25.49% (65/255), and 24.04% (50/208), respectively. The detection rates of opportunistic screening for early gastric cancer in hospitals in Weihai city increased year by year.Conclusion:In areas with high incidence of gastric cancer, a certain scale of group screening can lead to a wider range of opportunistic screening, resulting in the increase of the detection rate of early gastric cancer. The new model of diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer is worth recommendation.
