Metastasis is the leading cause of recurrence in gastric cancer. However, the imaging techniques and pathological examinations for tumor metastasis have a high false-positive rate or a high false-negative rate, and many proposed metastasis-related molecular biomarkers can hardly be validated in independent datasets. We propose to use significantly ...

Biliary strictures are a common complication of liver transplantation. We assess the impact of post-transplant biliary strictures and describe the outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), interventional radiology (IR), and surgical therapies. Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), hospitalized liver transplant r...

The effect of solid debris on walled-off necrosis (WON) drainage remains unknown. Our study evaluated the role of solid debris in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of WON compared lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) with double-pigtail plastic stent (DPPS). We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients with WON who underwent EUS-guided ...

We examined the differences in the risks and characteristics of pancreatic relapse (PR) and pancreatic cancer (PC) in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). We retrospectively reviewed 123 type 1 AIP patients with a median follow-up of 55 months (interquartile range, 27-98). The following items were evaluated: (i) cumulative relapse rates and...

Male sex is a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a doubled risk of HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We examined the relationship between serum total testosterone and HCC risk in male CHB patients with DM. We performed a retrospective cohort study of male CHB patients with DM betw...

Mitochondrial damage is commonly involved in liver injury. We have previously shown that normal mitochondria can be coated with a carrier protein to form complexes that are specifically taken up by liver cells in culture. The aim of the current study was to determine whether mitochondrial complexes could be specifically delivered to the livers of l...

Secondary prophylaxis (SP) of variceal rebleeding was reported to improve outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, but the optimal endoscopic approach is not well defined. We compared outcomes in HCC patients who underwent SP by endoscopic ultrasound-guided cyanoacrylate obturation (EUS-CYA) versus no SP. Between 2014 and 2018, 30 conse...

Currently, endoscopic drainage (ED) and percutaneous drainage (PD) are both widely used effective interventions in the management of patients with symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of ED to those of PD in the treatment of PFCs. A prospective cohort study of PFC patient...

Esophageal adenocarcinoma is often associated with late diagnoses, poor prognoses, significant morbidities, and high mortality rates. Aberrant expression of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathways were observed in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma. Sorting nexins 3 has been shown to participate in Wnt protein sorting and regulate ...

Appendicitis after colonoscopy is an exceedingly rare complication. It remains to be explored if this entity is truly a complication of colonoscopy or a coincidental occurrence of appendicitis post-colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to systematically review all the available evidence since it was first described in 1988. The literature on post-...
