Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology.2016;21(10):629-632. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1008-7125.2016.10.012

Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS)is a commonly seen chronic functional bowel disease,the prevalence showed a rising trend in recent year in China. At present,the etiology and pathogenesis of IBS have not yet been fully elucidated,and may be related to intestinal gas. Intestinal gas is usually composed of 59% N2 ,21% H2 ,9% CO2 ,7%methane(CH4 )and 4% O2 ,in which H2 and CH4 are produced only by intestinal bacteria metabolism. IBS patients usually manifested as having abdominal distension and symptoms of flatulence,suggesting the occurrence of accumulation of intestinal gas. In recent years,the relationship between symptoms of IBS and intestinal gas has attracted much attention. This article reviewed the progress in study on symptoms of IBS and intestinal gas.

Background:Intestinal permeability plays an important role in the development of ulcerative colitis. Sugar molecular probes is a safe and non-invasive method to measure intestinal permeability,and its correlation with inflammatory factors and claudin-8 is not clear. Aims:To explore the correlation of sugar molecular probes with TNF-α,CRP and claudin-8 in intestinal permeability in colitis rats. Methods:Twenty-four rats were assigned randomly to model group and normal control group. Colitis model was induced by DSS solution. Expressions of TNF-α,CRP were determined by ELISA,and expression of claudin-8 was determined by immunohistochemistry. Sugar molecular probes were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Correlations of inflammatory factors and claudin-8 with sugar molecular probes were analyzed. Results:Compared with normal control group,expressions of colonic tissue TNF-α and CRP were significantly increased while expression of claudin-8 was significantly decreased in model group(P < 0. 01);secretion of lactulose and sucrolose,ratio of lactulose/ mannitol( L/ M)were significantly increased( P < 0. 01)while mannitol secretion was significantly decreased(P < 0. 01). Secretion of lactulose and sucrolose were positively correlated with expressions of TNF-α and CRP(P < 0. 01),but negatively with expression of claudin-8(P < 0. 01). L/ M ratio and mannitol secretion were negatively correlated with expressions of TNF-α and CRP(P < 0. 01),but positively with expression of claudin-8(P <0. 01). Conclusions:Sugar molecular probes and expressions of TNF-α,CRP,claudin-8 have similar results in predicting intestinal permeability in rats. Sugar molecular probes can be used as a potential method to measure intestinal permeability.

Background:Esophageal cancer is a digestive system malignant tumor with high incidence in China. Early diagnosis and treatment are the keys to increase the survival rate of patients with esophageal cancer. Now,applying magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging(ME-NBI)for diagnosis of early esophageal cancer has become the hot research spot. Aims:To evaluate the diagnostic value of ME-NBI for early esophageal cancer and its invasive depth. Methods:Consecutive patients with early esophageal cancer or precancerous lesion undergoing conventional white light endoscopy with biopsy and ME-NBI from June 2013 to November 2015 at the Ren Ji Hospital,School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University were collected retrospectively. The findings of ME-NBI and biopsy pathology of conventional white light endoscopy were comparatively analyzed. The accuracy of ME-NBI in diagnosis of invasive depth of early esophageal cancer was evaluated. Results:A total of 49 patients were enrolled. The overall agreement of ME-NBI findings with endoscopic surgical pathology(gold standard)as well as the sensitivity and negative predictive value of ME-NBI for differentiating early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesion were significantly higher than those of biopsy pathology under conventional white light endoscopy[91. 8%(45 / 49)vs. 24. 5%(12 / 49);100%(45 / 45)vs. 17. 8%(8 / 45);100%(3 / 3)vs. 9. 8%(4 / 41),P all < 0. 05]. Total accuracy of ME-NBI for diagnosing the invasive depth of early esophageal cancer was 77. 8%(35 / 45). Conclusions:ME-NBI has good diagnostic value for early esophageal cancer and its depth of invasion. It can be used as an effective modality for clinical diagnosis of early esophageal cancer.

Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology.2016;21(10):597-601. doi:10.3969/j.issn.1008-7125.2016.10.004

Background:Esophageal cancer is a commonly seen gastrointestinal malignancy. Early detection of superficial neoplastic lesions is critical for improving the prognosis. Therefore,it is of great importance to explore new endoscopic techniques for increasing the detection rate of early esophageal cancer. Aims:To assess the diagnostic accuracy of targeted biopsy guided by magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging(ME-NBI)for suspected superficial lesions in esophagus. Methods:In a prospective cross-over designed trial,65 patients with suspected superficial lesions in esophagus detected by conventional gastroscopy were randomly assigned to group A and group B. Patients in group A received primary white light imaging(WLI)with Lugol’s staining followed by ME-NBI 4-6 weeks later,and patients in group B received primary ME-NBI followed by WLI with Lugol’s staining 4-6 weeks later. Random biopsy was performed in WLI with Lugol’s staining,while targeted biopsy was performed in ME-NBI based on Inoue’s intraepithelial papillary capillary loop (IPCL)classification. Results:A total of 58 patients completed the study and 68 lesions were eligible for statistical analysis. More biopsies were taken in WLI with Lugol’s staining than in ME-NBI(3. 7 vs. 2. 2 per lesion,P < 0. 05). The overall agreement of IPCL classification with definite pathological diagnosis was 89. 7% . The overall agreement of targeted biopsy by ME-NBI and random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining was 85. 3% ;the specificity and positive predictive value of both ME-NBI and WLI with Lugol’s staining for neoplastic lesions were 100% ,but the sensitivity of ME-NBI was superior to that of WLI with Lugol’s staining(90. 0% vs. 70. 0% ,P < 0. 05). The agreement of ME-NBI-guided targeted biopsy with definite pathological diagnosis was slightly higher than that of random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining(89. 7% vs. 86. 8% ,P > 0. 05). Conclusions:ME-NBI-guided targeted biopsy is superior to random biopsy by WLI with Lugol’s staining for detection of superficial neoplastic lesions in esophagus with higher sensitivity and less number of biopsy. It might benefit the follow-up endoscopic treatment.
