Objective:To assess the correlation and consistency between the cancer risk-oriented endoscopic Kimura-Takemoto classification and the operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) in risk stratification of gastric cancer in patients with chronic gastritis after Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) eradication. Methods:From January 1, 2018 to October 31, 2021, 97 patients with chronic gastritis who successfully underwent H. pylori eradication at Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected. During the follow-up period, all patients underwent standardized magnifying endoscopy to assess gastric mucosal atrophy with the Kimura-Takemoto classification, which was classified as no or mild atrophy, moderate atrophy, and severe atrophy. Additionally, according to the new Sydney staging system, endoscopic biopsies were conducted at 5 sites of the patients to classify into OLGA stages 0, Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, or Ⅳ. Spearman rank correlation analysis and Kappa consistency test were performed to evaluate the correlation and consistency between the 2 evaluation systems, respectively. Area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the predictive ability of the grading of gastric mucosal atrophy under endoscopy in high-risk histological staging. Furthermore, multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors influencing the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems. Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Longitudinal follow-up was completed in 97 cases, with a follow-up time of (37.38±13.18) months after H. pylori eradication. The proportion of OLGA stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ in patients with no or mild atrophy (21.7%, 10/46) was lower than that in patients with moderate and severe atrophy (63.0%, 29/46 and 5/5, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant( χ2=16.07 and 13.30, both P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in distribution of OLGA staging between patients with moderate atrophy and patients with severe atrophy (all P>0.05). The consistency rate of high-risk assessment for gastric cancer between the 2 evaluation systems was 73.2% (71/97). The correlation between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging was moderate ( r=0.47, 95% confidence interval(95% CI) 0.30 to 0.61, P<0.001). The result of consistency test indicated that the consistency of the 2 evaluation systems was moderate, and the Kappa value was 0.46 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.64, P<0.001). For patients with chronic gastritis after H. pylori eradication, the sensitivity of Kimura-Takemoto classification of moderate to severe atrophy under endoscopy in identifying high-risk of OLGA stages was 77.21% (95% CI 62.16% to 88.53%), the specificity was 69.81% (95% CI 55.66% to 81.66%), and the AUC was 0.735 (95% CI 0.636 to 0.820, P<0.01). As the time after H. pylori eradication increased (post- H. pylori eradication less than 18, 18 to 36, and more than 36 months), the consistency of atrophy assessment between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging reduced (7/8, 84.4% (27/32), 64.9% (37/57), respectively), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.36, P=0.037). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the time after H. pylori eradication more than 36 months ( OR=3.443, 95% CI 1.117 to 10.614, P=0.031) and gastric ulcer ( OR=3.928, 95% CI 1.177 to 13.110, P=0.026) were independent factors influencing the consistency between the Kimura-Takemoto classification and OLGA staging. Conclusions:The endoscopic and histological changes of chronic gastritis after eradication of H. pylori are consistent. Within short period after H. pylori eradication (no more than 36 months), the sensitivity of high-risk classification under endoscopy is high and the specificity is moderate, which can predict high-risk histological staging to a certain degree.

Objective To evaluate the effect of low frequency ultrasound on the volume of the radiofrequency ablation lesion in canine hyperplasia prostate tissue.Methods A total of 9 experimental dogs were divided into three groups(3 in each group).Radiofrequency ablation was performed on the canine prostates.Low-frequency ultrasound was performed before the ablation of the experimental group.Radiofrequency ablation or low-frequency ultrasound was performed only in the control groups.Then all experiment animals underwent routine rectal examination,contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and MRI.The volume of prostate ablation lesions in enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was compared between the low-frequency ultrasound irradiation plus radiofrequency ablation group and the control group with radiofrequency ablation only.Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test to compare the differences between groups.Results Contrast enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)performed immediately after low-frequency ultrasound irradiation showed that the time to peak of intra-prostatic contrast agent shortened,the maximum intensity decreased compared with those before irradiation [(28.55±10.88)s vs(14.81±5.15)s,t=2.796,P=0.0189],and the contrast agent duration increased [(2046.56±424.66)dB s vs(1454.82±458.12)dB s],the difference was statistically significant(t=2.32,P=0.0427).CEUS and MRI can accurately evaluate the size of the prostate radiofrequency ablation.The ablation volume of the experimental group after ablation was(1.27 ± 0.21)cm3in the experimental group,while the volume of the ablation group in the control group was(0.73±0.18)cm3,and the difference was statistically significant(t=3.382,P=0.0277); however,the other group which were only exposed to low-frequency ultrasound did not show lesions.Conclusion Low frequency ultrasound irradiation can effectively block the blood flow in proliferative prostatic tissue,and combined with radiofrequency ablation can effectively increase the volume of ablation.
