- The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for the treatment of various malignancies is increasing. Immune-related adverse events can occur after ICI administration, with gastrointestinal adverse events constituting a significant proportion of these events. When ICI-related diarrhea/colitis is suspected, endoscopic evaluation is recommended to differentiate it from other etiologies and assess the severity of colitis. The distribution of intestinal inflammation in ICI-related colitis demonstrates a high frequency of extensive colitis (23–86%). However, isolated right-sided colitis (3–8%) and ileitis (2–16%) are less prevalent. Endoscopic findings vary and predominantly encompass features indicative of inflammatory bowel disease, including aphthae, ulcers, diffuse or patchy erythema, mucosal edema, loss of vascular pattern, and friability. The presence of ulcers and extensive intestinal inflammation are associated with a reduced response to treatment. Microscopic inflammation can be observed even in endoscopically normal mucosa, underscoring the need for biopsies of seemingly normal mucosa. Histological findings present with acute/chronic inflammation and occasionally exhibit characteristics observed in inflammatory bowel disease, microscopic colitis, or ischemic colitis. The first-line therapeutic choice for ICI-related diarrhea/colitis with a common terminology criteria for adverse events grade of 2 or above is corticosteroids, whereas infliximab and vedolizumab are recommended for refractory cases.

- Background
/Aims: We have been developing artificial intelligence based polyp histology prediction (AIPHP) method to classify Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) magnifying colonoscopy images to predict the hyperplastic or neoplastic histology of polyps. Our aim was to analyze the accuracy of AIPHP and narrow-band imaging international colorectal endoscopic (NICE) classification based histology predictions and also to compare the results of the two methods.
Methods
We studied 373 colorectal polyp samples taken by polypectomy from 279 patients. The documented NBI still images were analyzed by the AIPHP method and by the NICE classification parallel. The AIPHP software was created by machine learning method. The software measures five geometrical and color features on the endoscopic image.
Results
The accuracy of AIPHP was 86.6% (323/373) in total of polyps. We compared the AIPHP accuracy results for diminutive and non-diminutive polyps (82.1% vs. 92.2%; p=0.0032). The accuracy of the hyperplastic histology prediction was significantly better by NICE compared to AIPHP method both in the diminutive polyps (n=207) (95.2% vs. 82.1%) (p<0.001) and also in all evaluated polyps (n=373) (97.1% vs. 86.6%) (p<0.001)
Conclusions
Our artificial intelligence based polyp histology prediction software could predict histology with high accuracy only in the large size polyp subgroup.

- Background
/Aims: To date, no reports have compared the diagnostic efficacy of narrow-band imaging (NBI) and i-scan for the histologic prediction of intermediate-to-large colorectal polyps. We aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of NBI and i-scan in predicting histology, and their inter-/intra-observer agreement.
Methods
We performed a prospective, randomized study that included 66 patients (NBI, n=33 vs. i-scan, n=33) with colorectal polyps (size >10 mm but <50 mm) who underwent colonoscopic resection. During the procedure, three endoscopists documented their prediction using the Japan NBI Expert Team (JNET) classification. Two months after study completion, the endoscopists reviewed still images and video clips for analysis.
Results
The overall diagnostic accuracies in the NBI and i-scan groups were 73.7% (73/99) and 75.8% (75/99), respectively, and there was no statistical significance between the two groups (p=0.744). The JNET classification as applied to NBI and i-scan showed substantial inter-observer agreement (NBI κ-value 0.612, p=0.001 vs. i-scan κ-value 0.662, p=0.002). Additionally, the κ-values of intra-observer agreement were in the range of 0.385–0.660 with NBI and 0.364–0.741 with i-scan.
Conclusions
NBI and i-scan have similar diagnostic accuracies for the histologic prediction of intermediate-to-large colorectal polyps. Furthermore, the inter-/intra-observer agreement was acceptable for both modalities when the JNET classification was applied.

- Endoscopic resection (ER) of undifferentiated-type early gastric cancer (UD-EGC) has a lower curative resection (CR) rate than differentiated-type EGC. However, if UD-EGC is curatively resected using ER, long-term outcomes can be favorable. Thus, the strategy for CR by ER is important in UD-EGC. To achieve CR in UD-EGC, biological behaviors including tumor growth patterns must be considered. This review aims to describe what is important for curative ER of UD-EGC.

- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) enables en bloc curative resection of early gastric cancers (EGCs) with a negligible risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). Although ESD for EGCs with absolute and expanded indications is safe, the results differ between EGCs with specialized and common histologies. EGC with papillary adenocarcinoma is a differentiated-type adenocarcinoma. At present, it is treated with ESD according to the same criteria as other differentiated-type adenocarcinomas. The LNM rate under the current indication criteria is high, and over half of the patients who undergo ESD as a primary treatment for EGC with papillary adenocarcinoma achieve an out-of-ESD result. Gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma in EGC has a low LNM rate and a favorable outcome, despite deep submucosal invasion. Patients with this gastric cancer subtype may be good candidates for ESD, even with deep submucosal invasion. Large-scale prospective multi-center studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to set proper ESD criteria for these tumors. Clinicians should be aware of these disease entities and ESD should be more carefully considered for EGCs with papillary adenocarcinoma and gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma.

- Background
/Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic capabilities of narrow band imaging (NBI) colonoscopy with and without optical magnification in differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic colorectal polyps.
Methods
Between April 2012 and March 2013, 122 patients with colorectal polyps detected by using diagnostic conventional colonoscopy were prospectively enrolled. A total of 236 polyps were evaluated with NBI, in vivo in real time during therapeutic colonoscopy, by one experienced endoscopist. Whether magnification was used or not was determined by randomization. After an in vivo real-time endoscopic prediction of histology, all lesions were endoscopically excised. Surgical pathologic reports were used as the criterion standards. The sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of identifying neoplastic polyps were calculated.
Results
A total of 236 lesions with an average size of 5.6 mm in 122 patients were assessed (159 neoplastic, 77 nonneoplastic). The Sn, Sp, PPV, and NPV in differentiating neoplastic from nonneoplastic lesions with the magnified NBI were 97.5%, 83.3%, 94.0%, and 92.6%, respectively, whereas those of the nonmagnified NBI group were 97.5%, 85.1%, 91.7%, and 95.2%, respectively.
Conclusions
Nonmagnified NBI colonoscopy distinguishes neoplastic from nonneoplastic colorectal polyps as accurately as does magnified NBI colonoscopy.

Abstract

The Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma histologically classifies endoscopically resected gastric cancer into differentiated and undifferentiated types according to the presence or absence of tubular structures on histology. The former includes papillary adenocarcinoma and tubular types, and the latter includes poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma. However, gastric cancer sometimes contains a mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated components, and the clinical outcomes of the histological mixture are unknown, especially following endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer (EGC). This case was within the guideline indications for endoscopic submucosal resection (ESD), although it contained a partly signet ring cell carcinoma component; it recurred after 19 months with multiple lymph node and liver metastases. This case shows that additional surgical resection after ESD should be performed for patients with any mixed signet ring cell component, even in mild or moderately differentiated EGC.

- Background/Aims
Narrow band imaging (NBI) is a new technique that uses optical filters for imaging of mucosal morphology. The aim of this study was to correlate findings of NBI with magnifying colonoscopy and histology for prediction of neoplastic colorectal lesion.
MethodsBetween September 2005 and December 2007, 107 colon polyps from 68 patients were detected by conventional colonoscopy and subsequently evaluated by NBI with magnifying colonoscopy and analyzed for a pit pattern and a capillary pattern. More analysis was done regarding thickness and irregularity of capillary features.
ResultsPit pattern with NBI magnification to discriminate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions had a sensitivity of 88.9% and a specificity of 87.5%; capillary pattern yielded test performance characteristics of 91.9% and 87.5%. In respect of capillary thickness, invisible capillaries were found significantly more often in hyperplastic lesions. All thick capillaries were found in neoplastic polyps, and found significantly more often in carcinomas with submucosal massive invasion (sm-m) (p<0.01). In respect of capillary irregularity, invisible capillaries were found significantly more often in hyperplasic lesions, and severely irregular capillaries were found significantly more often in sm-m lesions (p<0.01).
ConclusionsObservation of capillary thickness and irregularity by NBI magnification is useful for correlating histological grade with carcinoma, especially with depth of submucosal invasion.

/Aims:Studies on re-infection of Helicobacter pylori are limited. This study was designed to determine if there are clinical features of H. pylori re- infection related to gastroduodenal diseases or histological findings. Methods: From a population of patients that were treated for H. pylori eradication from May 2003 to September 2007, 129 subjects were enrolled. Regimens were PPI-based triple or quadruple agents and follow-up methods were UBT, CLO or histology. Results: A total of 29 subjects experienced a recurrence (within one year, 17 subjects; between one and two years, eight subjects; more than two years, four subjects). Recurrence periods were 2 to 32 months, and the mean period was 12.62± 8.40 months. Among 29 subjects, eight subjects had chronic atrophic gastritis, 14 subjects had a peptic ulcer, five subjects had stomach cancer and two subjects had a MALT lymphoma; there were no statistical differences of the odds ratio between matched diseases. By use of the Updated Sydney System, neither H. pylori colonization density nor neutrophil infiltration nor monocyte infiltration grade in histology was associated with recurrence or re-infection. Conclusions: Neither histological findings nor gastroduodenal diseases was associated with H. pylori re-infection. The re-infection rate in this study was approximately 6.2%. This rate was slightly higher than rates reported in other recent studies in Korea. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2008;37:161-166)

- It is very important to be aware of occurrence and distinctive histologic features of gastric glomus tumor because its clinical presentation and endoscopic ficdings are indistinguishable from other gastric tumors. A 58-year-old man was admitted because of intermittent epigastric pain and indigestion for 2 months. Physical examination and laboratory findings revealed within normal limits. Upper gastroendoscopy demonstrated a submucosal mass near the antrum with central mucosal depressionand peripheral multiple erosions. Endoscopic ultrasonography revealed a circumscribed mass that continued to the third and fourth layers which demonstrated a heterogeneous low echo pattern mixed with internal high echo spots. Histologically, the tumor cells have uniform small nuclei with inconspicuous nucleoli. Immunochemical analysis on the tumor cells expressed alpha 1 smooth muscle actin and the tumor cells are enveloped by reticulin fiber, individually or grouped. A case of glomus tumor of the stomach is herein reported with a review of literature. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2000;21:559-562)
