Background: We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of M2 macrophages to predict the recurrence of early gastric cancer (EGC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out among EGC patients (95 non-recurrence and 78 recurrence) who underwent surgery at Luhe People’s Hospital of Nanjing. A 5-year recurrence status was utilized to classify...

Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are increasingly being recognized in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is unclear if the presence of GI symptoms is associated with poor outcomes in COVID-19. We aim to assess if GI symptoms could be used for prognostication in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Methods: We retrospectively analyz...

Introduction: Although signet ring cell carcinoma (SRC) is a poorly differentiated cancer subtype, recent studies suggest that endoscopic resection can be applied in small, mucosal early gastric SRC. However, other studies report frequent positive lines at the lateral resection margin after endoscopic treatment. Subepithelial spread beneath normal ...

Background: Risk factors for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) complications are well-studied. However, risk factors for complications and success after endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for duct stones are poorly determined. This study aimed to verify risk factors for mortality, complications, and success after EST. Methods:...

An esophageal diverticulum is a protruding pouch in a weak portion of the esophageal lining. Previously, our team had reported an endoscopic tunneling technique (submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division) for diverticulum treatment. However, it does not perform well for the diverticulum located in the upper esophagus, where most diverticula a...
