Factors Associated with Malignant Biliary Strictures in Patients with Atypical or Suspicious Cells on Brush Cytology: Ji Young Park, Tae Joo Jeon; Clin Endosc 2019;52(2):168-174. Published online January 9, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2018.105

Background
/Aims: Pathological diagnosis of biliary strictures with atypical or suspicious cells on endoscopic retrograde brush cytology and indeterminate strictures on imaging is challenging. The aim of this study was to identify markers for malignant strictures in such cases.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed data collected from 146 consecutive patients with indeterminate biliary strictures on imaging who underwent endoscopic retrograde brush cytology from 2007 to 2013. Factors associated with malignant strictures in patients with atypical or suspicious cells on brush cytology were identified.
Results
Among the 67 patients with a malignant disease (48 cholangiocarcinoma, 6 gallbladder cancer, 5 pancreatic cancer, 5 ampulla of Vater cancer, and 3 other types), 36 (53.7%) had atypical or suspicious cells on brush cytology. Among these, the factors that independently correlated with malignant strictures were stricture length (odds ratio [OR], 5.259; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.802– 15.294) and elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) (OR, 3.492; 95% CI, 1.242–9.815), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (OR, 4.909; 95% CI, 1.694–14.224), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (OR, 3.362; 95% CI, 1.207–9.361), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (rGT) (OR, 4.318; 95% CI, 1.512–12.262).
Conclusions
Elevated levels of CA19-9, CEA, ALP, and rGT and stricture length are associated with malignant strictures in patients with indeterminate biliary strictures on imaging and atypical or suspicious cells on brush cytology.

Current status and trends of green endoscopy: Kihyun Ryu, Won Jae Yoon, Sang Hoon Kim, Da Hee Park, Jin Hwa Park, Ki Bae Bang, Tae Joo Jeon, Da Hyun Jung, Young Sin Cho; Received December 16, 2024 Accepted January 21, 2025 Published online March 4, 2025; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2024.332

Abstract PubReader ePub: The increasing global emphasis on sustainability has extended its influence to the field of medicine, including endoscopy. Green endoscopy aims to minimize the environmental footprint of endoscopic practices while maintaining high standards of patient care. This review examines the current status of green endoscopy, focusing on its environmental impact, strategies for waste reduction, and adoption of sustainable practices. The key topics include the environmental challenges posed by single-use devices, the role of sterilization and recycling, and innovations in energy-efficient endoscopic equipment. Furthermore, we highlight policy recommendations and actionable strategies for healthcare systems to transition toward green practices. By integrating these approaches, the field of endoscopy can meaningfully contribute to global sustainability efforts without compromising clinical outcomes.
