Background/Aims
Video capsule endoscopy is rarely used to diagnose Crohn’s disease in patients with negative ileocolonoscopy or cross-sectional image findings. We evaluated clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of these rare cases.
Methods
This multicenter study included patients with Crohn’s disease from 3 tertiary hospitals from January 2007 to October 2022. Patients with normal findings on ileocolonoscopy and computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) enterography but had ulcerations at the small bowel detected by video capsule endoscopy were included. The controls were patients with abnormal findings on endoscopy or CT/MR enterography. Controls were case-matched in a ratio of 3:1 for sex, calendar year of diagnosis, and age at diagnosis.
Results
Among 3,752 patients, 24 (0.6%) were diagnosed with Crohn’s disease using video capsule endoscopy findings. The disease location (P< 0.001) and behavior at diagnosis (P= 0.013) of the cases significantly differed from that of controls. The perianal fistula modifier (25.0% vs. 33.3%, P= 0.446) did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Initial disease activity and C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin levels were significantly lower in cases versus controls. The median Lewis score was 838 (interquartile range, 393–1,803). Over 10 years of follow-up, the cases showed significantly lower cumulative risk of complicated behavior, biologics use, Crohn’s disease-related hospitalization, and surgeries (log-rank test P< 0.05).
Conclusions
Patients with Crohn’s disease whose lesions were observed only by video capsule endoscopy were rare, and exhibit different clinical characteristics and a more favorable long-term disease course compared to those who were conventionally diagnosed.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Colonoscopic polypectomy is effective in decreasing the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC). Premalignant polyps discovered during colonoscopy are associated with the risk of metachronous advanced neoplasia. Postpolypectomy surveillance is the most important method for managing advanced metachronous neoplasia. A more efficient and evidence-based guideline for postpolypectomy surveillance is required because of the limited medical resources and concerns regarding colonoscopy complications. In these consensus guidelines, an analytic approach was used to address all reliable evidence to interpret the predictors of CRC or advanced neoplasia during surveillance colonoscopy. The key recommendations state that the high-risk findings for metachronous CRC following polypectomy are as follows: adenoma ≥10 mm in size; 3 to 5 (or more) adenomas; tubulovillous or villous adenoma; adenoma containing high-grade dysplasia; traditional serrated adenoma; sessile serrated lesion containing any grade of dysplasia; serrated polyp of at least 10 mm in size; and 3 to 5 (or more) sessile serrated lesions. More studies are needed to fully comprehend the patients who are most likely to benefit from surveillance colonoscopy and the ideal surveillance interval to prevent metachronous CRC.

Endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early colorectal cancer
Seung Wook Hong, Jeong-Sik Byeon
Intest Res 2022;20(3):281-290.   Published online July 26, 2022
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5217/ir.2021.00169
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Early colorectal cancer refers to cancer in the colorectum that is confined to the mucosa or submucosa and does not invade the muscularis propria, irrespective of lymph node or distant metastasis. As the number of persons undergoing screening colonoscopy increases, the proportion of patients diagnosed with precancerous colorectal lesions and early colorectal cancer also increases. In the last decade, innovative optical technologies for endoscopic diagnosis have been introduced and endoscopic treatment techniques such as endoscopic submucosal dissection have provided major breakthroughs in the management of early colorectal cancer. With these remarkable developments, endoscopic treatment has established itself as an alternative to surgical resection in the treatment of early colorectal cancer. This review will discuss the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early colorectal cancer. Furthermore, the unmet needs in this field and the latest research addressing those issues will be summarized.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
Fecal S100A12 (FS) and serum S100A12 (SS) have been reported as novel biomarkers that accurately reflect intestinal inflammation. We evaluated if FS and SS in comparison to fecal calprotectin (FC) are associated with poor future outcomes in clinically quiescent Crohn’s disease (CD) patients.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 49 CD patients in clinical remission (Crohn’s Disease Activity Index [CDAI] < 150 for the past 6 months). Patients were followed for a median period of 4.4 years (interquartile range [IQR], 4.3–4.5). The following outcomes were evaluated: clinical relapse, CD-related hospitalization, step-up of medical treatment, and CD-related intestinal resection. Cox proportional-hazard regression model was constructed to assess the association of baseline markers with time-to-event outcomes.
Results
The median levels of baseline FS, FC, and SS were 0.042 mg/kg (IQR, 0.005–0.179), 486.8 mg/kg (IQR, 203.5–886.8) and 1,398.2 ng/mL (IQR, 791.8–2,759.9), respectively. FS correlated with FC (r = 0.689), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r = 0.524), C-reactive protein (r = 0.499), and albumin (r = –0.446), but not with CDAI (r = 0.045). Interestingly, increased FS (top quartile) was associated with a 4.9-fold increased rate of future CD-related hospitalization (P= 0.009) and a 2.8-fold increased rate of step-up of medical treatment (P= 0.032), whereas increased FC and SS were not. These findings remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, disease duration, current smoking, C-reactive protein, serum albumin, CDAI, and FC, individually.
Conclusions
In this pilot study, increased FS and not FC or SS, was significantly associated with increased rates of future CD-related hospitalization and step-up of medical treatment among CD patients in clinical remission.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Although surgery was the standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers, endoscopic resection is now a standard treatment for early gastrointestinal cancers without regional lymph node metastasis. High-definition white light endoscopy, chromoendoscopy, and image-enhanced endoscopy such as narrow band imaging are performed to assess the edge and depth of early gastrointestinal cancers for delineation of resection boundaries and prediction of the possibility of lymph node metastasis before the decision of endoscopic resection. Endoscopic mucosal resection and/or endoscopic submucosal dissection can be performed to remove early gastrointestinal cancers completely by en bloc fashion. Histopathological evaluation should be carefully made to investigate the presence of risk factors for lymph node metastasis such as depth of cancer invasion and lymphovascular invasion. Additional treatment such as radical surgery with regional lymphadenectomy should be considered if the endoscopically resected specimen shows risk factors for lymph node metastasis. This is the first Korean clinical practice guideline for endoscopic resection of early gastrointestinal cancer. This guideline was developed by using mainly de novo methods and encompasses endoscopic management of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, early gastric cancer, and early colorectal cancer. This guideline will be revised as new data on early gastrointestinal cancer are collected.

AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a global phenomenon, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. We aimed to assess the change in prevalence and patterns of CAM use, and attitudes towards CAM over an 8-year time interval (2006 vs. 2014) among IBD patients in Korea.
Methods
A total of 221 IBD patients (CD=142, UC=79) were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding CAM at two time points: at enrollment (2006) and 8 years later (2014/2015).
Results
The proportion of patients ever using CAM increased significantly from 60.2% in 2006 to 79.6% in 2014 (P<0.001), while the proportion of current CAM users increased slightly (35.7% to 38.0%, P=0.635); 21.7% used CAM consistently at both time points. The proportion of patients who felt CAM was less effective (P<0.001) and more expensive (P=0.04) than conventional treatments increased over time. Also, the proportion among ever CAM users who perceived a positive effect from CAM significantly decreased in 2014 compared to 2006 (P=0.004). Higher education (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.10), prior side effects to conventional therapies (aOR, 2.23), and prior use of corticosteroids (aOR, 2.51) were associated with CAM use. Interestingly, use of CAM before IBD diagnosis (aOR, 2.73) was significantly associated with consistent CAM use.
Conclusions
Although the attitudes toward CAM have become less favorable, the majority of IBD patients have experienced CAM with an overall increase of current CAM users over time. Moreover, more than half of current CAM users used CAM consistently over time.

Background/Aims
We aimed to investigate the proportion of and risk factors for residual cancer and/or lymph node metastasis after surgery was performed because of high-risk pathological features in endoscopic resection specimen of suspected superficial submucosal colorectal cancer (SSMC).
Methods
We reviewed medical records of 497 patients (58.8 ± 9.8 years, 331 males) undergoing endoscopic resection of suspected SSMC. High-risk pathological features included: deep submucosal cancer invasion ≥ 1,000 μm; positive lymphovascular and/or perineural invasion; poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma; and positive resection margin. We investigated the occurrence of additional surgery and residual cancer and/or lymph node involvement in the surgical specimen.
Results
En bloc resection was performed in 447 patients (89.9%). High-risk pathological features were detected in 372 patients (74.8%). Additional surgery was performed in 336 of 372 patients with high-risk pathological features. Of these, 47 surgical specimens (14.0%) showed residual cancer and/or lymph node metastasis. Piecemeal resection was more common in those with residual cancer and/or lymph node involvement than those without (9/47 [19.1%] vs. 24/289 [8.3%], P= 0.032). Positive resection margin was also significantly associated with positive residual cancer and/or lymph node involvement. As the number of high-risk pathological features increased, the risk of regional lymph node metastasis increased proportionally (P= 0.002).
Conclusions
High-risk pathological features were frequently detected after endoscopic resection of suspected SSMC while residual cancer and/or lymph node metastasis were not commonly present in the additional surgical specimen. Further optimized strategy for proper endoscopic management of suspected SSMC is necessary.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background/Aims
This study compared the efficacy, compliance, and safety of bowel preparation between sodium picosulfate with magnesium citrate (SPMC) and oral sulfate solution (OSS).
Methods
A prospective randomized multicenter study was performed. Split preparation methods were performed in both groups; the SPMC group, 2 sachets on the day before, and 1 sachet on the day of the procedure, the OSS group, half of the OSS with 1 L of water on both the day before and the day of the procedure. The adenoma detection rate (ADR), adequacy of bowel preparation using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score, patient satisfaction on a visual analog scale (VAS), and safety were compared between the 2 groups.
Results
This study analyzed 229 patients (121 in the SPMC group and 108 in the OSS group). ADR showed no differences between 2 groups (51.7% vs. 41.7%, P> 0.05). The mean total BBPS score (7.95 vs. 8.11, P> 0.05) and adequate bowel preparation rate (94.9% vs. 96.3%, P> 0.05) were similar between the 2 groups. The mean VAS score for taste (7.62 vs. 6.87, P=0.006) was significantly higher in the SPMC group than in the OSS group. There were no significant differences in any other safety variables between the 2 groups except nausea symptom (36.1% vs. 20.3%, P=0.008).
Conclusions
Bowel preparation for colonoscopy using low volume OSS and SPMC yielded similar ADRs and levels of efficacy. SPMC had higher levels of satisfaction for taste and feeling than did OSS.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been reported to have an increased risk of thromboembolism. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but serious extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. Due to its highly variable manifestation and low incidence, CVT is not usually readily recognized by physicians. Herein, we report a case of a 35-year-old male presenting with CVT associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). The patient was admitted with chief complaints of bloody diarrhea that had started 3 days prior. Sigmoidoscopy showed hyperemic and edematous mucosa, friability, and shallow ulcers from the sigmoid colon to the rectum suggestive of IBD. Three days later, the patient started complaining of a headache, and gradually developed a decreased level of consciousness. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed CVT with hemorrhagic infarctions. An angiogram was obtained to evaluate the extent of CVT, and anticoagulation therapy was initiated with intravenous heparin. During hospitalization, he was diagnosed with UC and treated with 5-aminosalicylic acid. After discharge, the patient was recovered without neurological deficit, and remission of UC was also obtained. The presence of headache or acute worsening of neurological status in a patient with IBD should alert the health professionals about the possibility of CVT.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Colonoscopic surveillance is currently recommended after polypectomy owing to the risk of newly developed colonic neoplasia. However, few studies have investigated colonoscopy surveillance in Asia. This multicenter and prospective study was undertaken to assess the incidence of advanced adenoma based on baseline adenoma findings at 3 years after colonoscopic polypectomy.

Methods

A total of 1,323 patients undergoing colonoscopic polypectomy were prospectively assigned to 3-year colonoscopy surveillance at 11 tertiary endoscopic centers. Relative risks for advanced adenoma after 3 years were calculated according to baseline adenoma characteristics.

Results

Among 1,323 patients enrolled, 387 patients (29.3%) were followed up, and the mean follow-up interval was 31.0±9.8 months. The percentage of patients with advanced adenoma on baseline colonoscopy was higher in the surveillance group compared to the non-surveillance group (34.4% vs. 25.7%). Advanced adenoma recurrence was observed in 17 patients (4.4%) at follow-up. The risk of advanced adenoma recurrence was 2 times greater in patients with baseline advanced adenoma than in those with baseline non-advanced adenoma, though the difference was not statistically significant (6.8% [9/133] vs. 3.1% [8/254], P=0.09). Advanced adenoma recurrence was observed only in males and in subjects aged ≥50 years. In contrast, adenoma recurrence was observed in 187 patients (48.3%) at follow-up. Male sex, older age (≥50 years), and multiple adenomas (≥3) at baseline were independent risk factors for adenoma recurrence.

Conclusions

A colonoscopy surveillance interval of 3 years in patients with baseline advanced adenoma can be considered appropriate.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Precutting before endoscopic piecemeal mucosal resection (EPMR) may increase colorectal polyp resection effectiveness. We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrence after conventional EPMR (CEPMR) and precut EPMR (PEPMR) and investigated endoscopic treatment outcomes for recurrent cases.

Methods

The medical records of patients with colorectal polyps treated by EPMR were analyzed. Patients without follow-up surveillance colonoscopies were excluded.

Results

Among 359 lesions, the local recurrence rate on the first surveillance colonoscopy was 5.8% (18/312) and 6.4% (3/47) after CEPMR and PEPMR, respectively. Among lesions without recurrence at the first surveillance colonoscopy, the rates of late recurrence on subsequent surveillance colonoscopy were 3.9% (6/152) and 0% after CEPMR and PEPMR, respectively. Larger tumor size was the only independent risk factor for recurrence (odds ratio, 7.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.95–32.30; P<0.001). Endoscopic treatment was performed for all 27 recurrences. A combination of ≥2 endoscopic treatment modalities was used in 19 of 27 recurrences (70.4%). Surveillance colonoscopies were performed in 20 of 27 recurrences after endoscopic treatment. One (5.0%) had a re-recurrence and was treated by surgical resection because recurrence occurred at the appendiceal orifice. Nineteen of 20 lesions (95.0%) could be cured endoscopically, although 3 of the 19 showed second or third recurrences and were treated by repeat endoscopic resection.

Conclusions

The local recurrence rates after CEPMR and PEPMR were similar. Larger tumor size was an independent risk factor for local recurrence after EPMR. Endoscopic treatment of recurrences resulted in high cure rates, although combination methods were necessary in many cases.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

The clinical course after endoscopic management of delayed postpolypectomy bleeding (DPPB) has not been clearly determined. This study aimed to assess clinical outcomes after endoscopic hemostasis of DPPB and evaluate risk factors for rebleeding after initial hemostasis.

Methods

We reviewed medical records of 198 patients who developed DPPB and underwent endoscopic hemostasis between January 2010 and February 2015. The performance of endoscopic hemostasis was assessed. Rebleeding negative and positive patients were compared.

Results

DPPB developed 1.4±1.6 days after colonoscopic polypectomy. All patients achieved initial hemostasis. Clipping was the most commonly used technique. Of 198 DPPB patients, 15 (7.6%) had rebleeding 3.3±2.5 days after initial hemostasis. The number of clips required for hemostasis was higher in the rebleeding positive group (3.2±1.6 vs. 4.2±1.9, P=0.047). Combinations of clipping with other modalities such as injection methods were more common in the rebleeding positive group (67/291, 23.0% vs. 12/17, 70.6%; P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed a large number of clips and combination therapy were independent risk factors for rebleeding. All the rebleeding cases were successfully managed by repeat endoscopic hemostasis.

Conclusions

Endoscopic hemostasis is effective for the management of DPPB because of its high initial hemostasis rate and low rebleeding rate. Endoscopists should carefully observe patients in whom a large number of clips and/or combination therapy have been used to manage DPPB because these may be related to the severity of DPPB and a higher risk of rebleeding.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGEs-1) regulate prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression and are involved in colon carcinogenesis. We investigated the expression of PGE2 and its regulating genes in sporadic human colon tumors and matched normal tissues.

Methods

Twenty colonic adenomas and 27 colonic adenocarcinomas were evaluated. COX-2 and 15-PGDH expression was quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of PGE2 and mPGEs-1 was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting, respectively.

Results

The expression of COX-2, mPGEs-1, and PGE2 did not differ between the adenomas and matched distant normal tissues. 15-PGDH expression was lower in adenomas than in the matched normal colonic tissues (P<0.001). In adenocarcinomas, mPGEs-1 and PGE2 expression was significantly higher (P<0.001 and P=0.020, respectively), and COX-2 expression did not differ from that in normal tissues (P=0.207). 15-PGDH expression was significantly lower in the normal colonic mucosa from adenocarcinoma patients than in the normal mucosa from adenoma patients (P=0.018).

Conclusions

Early inactivation of 15-PGDH, followed by activation of COX-2 and mPGEs-1, contributes to PGE2 production, leading to colon carcinogenesis. 15-PGDH might be a novel candidate marker for early detection of field defects in colon carcinogenesis.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

As mast cells have been highlighted in the pathogenesis of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, a new term "mastocytic enterocolitis" was suggested by Jakate and colleagues to describe an increase in mucosal mast cells in patients with chronic intractable diarrhea and favorable response to treatment with antihistamines. Although it is not an established disease entity, two cases have been reported in the English medical literature. Here, for the first time in Asia, we report another case of chronic intractable diarrhea caused by gastrointestinal mastocytosis. The patient was a 70-year-old male with chronic intractable diarrhea for 3 months; the cause of the diarrhea remained obscure even after exhaustive evaluation. However, biopsy specimens from the jejunum were found to have increased mast cell infiltration, and the patient was successfully treated with antihistamines.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Accurately diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains a challenge, but is crucial for providing proper management for affected patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the frequency of change in diagnosis in Korean patients who were referred to our institution with a diagnosis of IBD.

Methods

We enrolled 1,444 patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 1,452 diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD), who had been referred to the Asan Medical Center between January 2010 and December 2014. These patients were assessed and subsequently classified as having UC, CD, indeterminate colitis, possible IBD, or non-IBD.

Results

During a median follow-up of 15.9 months, 400 of the 2,896 patients (13.8%) analyzed in this study experienced a change in diagnosis. A change in diagnosis from UC to CD, or vice-versa, was made in 24 of 1,444 patients (1.7%) and 23 of 1,452 patients (1.6%), respectively. A change to a non-IBD diagnosis was the most common modification; 7.5% (108 of 1444) and 12.7% (184 of 1452) of the patients with a referral diagnosis of UC and CD, respectively, were reclassified as having non-IBD. Among the 292 patients who were ultimately determined not to have IBD, 135 (55 UC and 80 CD cases) had received IBD-related medication.

Conclusions

There are diagnostic uncertainties and difficulties in relation to IBD. Therefore, precise assessment and systematic follow-up are essential in the management of this condition.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

We attempted to investigate the prognosis of signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRC) patients who underwent curative surgery by comparing them with age-, sex-, and stage-matched non-mucinous adenocarcinoma (NMAC) patients.

Methods

Between January 2003 and December 2011, 19 patients with primary SRC of the colorectum underwent curative surgery. Four SRC patients under the age of 40 were excluded, and the clinicopathological data of 15 patients (7 men; median age, 56 years) were reviewed and compared with the data of 75 NMAC patients matched by age, sex, and pathologic stage.

Results

The median follow-up duration was 30.1 months for the SRC group and 43.7 months for the NMAC group (P=0.141). Involvement of the left side of the colon (73.3% vs. 26.7%, P=0.003) and infiltrative lesions such as Borrmann types 3 and 4 (85.7% vs. 24.0%, P=0.001) were more common in the SRC group than in the NMAC group. The five-year overall survival rate was significantly lower for patients with SRC than for those with NMAC (46.0% vs. 88.7%, hazard ratio, 6.99; 95% confidence interval, 2.33-20.95, P=0.001).

Conclusions

Patients with even resectable primary colorectal SRC had a poorer prognosis than age-, sex-, and stage-matched colorectal NMAC patients.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Chicken skin mucosa (CSM), surrounding colorectal adenoma, is an endoscopic finding with pale yellow-speckled mucosa; however, its clinical significance is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CSM, and the association between colorectal carcinogenesis and CSM.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was performed in 733 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic polypectomy for colorectal adenoma after the screening of colonoscopy at the Asan Health Promotion Center between June 2009 and December 2011. The colonoscopic and pathological findings of colorectal adenoma including number, size, location, dysplasia, morphology, and clinical parameters were reviewed.

Results

The prevalence of CSM was 30.7% (225 of 733 patients), and most CSM-related adenomas were located in the distal colon (93.3%). Histological analysis revealed lipid-laden macrophages in the lamina propria of the mucosa. Multivariate analyses showed that CSM was significantly associated with advanced pathology, including villous adenoma and high-grade dysplasia (odds ratio [OR], 2.078; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.191-3.627; P=0.010), multiple adenomas (i.e., ≥2 adenomas; OR, 1.692; 95% CI, 1.143-2.507; P=0.009), and a protruding morphology (OR, 1.493; 95% CI, 1.027-2.170; P=0.036). There were no significant differences in polyp size or clinical parameters between patients with and without CSM.

Conclusions

CSM-related adenoma was mainly found in the distal colon, and was associated with advanced pathology and multiple adenomas. CSM could be a potential predictive marker of the carcinogenetic progression of distally located colorectal adenomas.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader

Lymph node metastasis is rare in small (i.e., <10 mm) rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In addition to tumor size, pathological features such as the mitotic or Ki-67 proliferation index are associated with lymph node metastasis in rectal NETs. We recently treated a patient who underwent endoscopic treatment of a small, grade 1 rectal NET that recurred in the form of perirectal lymph node metastasis 7 years later. A 7-mm-sized perirectal lymph node was noted at the time of the initial endoscopic treatment. The same lymph node was found to be slightly enlarged on follow-up and finally confirmed as a metastatic NET. Therefore, the perirectal lymph node metastasis might have been present at the time of the initial diagnosis. However, the growth rate of the lymph node was extremely low, and it took 7 years to increase in size from 7 to 10 mm. NETs with low Ki-67 proliferation index and without mitotic activity may grow extremely slowly even if they are metastatic.

<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Previous studies have suggested a weak correlation between self-reported rectal effluent status and bowel preparation quality. We aim to evaluate whether photographic examples of rectal effluents could improve the correlation between patient descriptions of rectal effluents and bowel preparation quality.

Methods

Before colonoscopy, patients were asked to describe the nature of their last three rectal effluents. Photographic examples of rectal effluents were provided as a reference for scoring. Bowel preparation was subsequently assessed by a single endoscopist using a global preparation assessment scale. Preparation outcomes were grouped into two levels (excellent to good vs. fair to inadequate). Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to find any association between bowel preparation quality and patient characteristics.

Results

A total of 138 patients completed the questionnaires. The mean age was 56.5±10.4 years. The mean sum of the last three rectal effluent scores was 5.9±2.0. Higher rectal effluent scores (odds ratio [OR], 0.82; P=0.043) and the presence of diverticula (OR, 0.16; P<0.001) were risk factors for suboptimal preparation.

Conclusions

Photographic example-guided patient descriptions of rectal effluents showed a statistically significant association with bowel preparation quality. However, clinical significance seemed to be low. The presence of diverticula was an independent predictive factor for suboptimal bowel preparation quality.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReader
<b>Background/Aims</b><br/>

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and/or biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) have been used to diagnose subepithelial tumors (SETs) and extraluminal lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Our group previously reported the usefulness of EUS-FNA/B for rectal and perirectal lesions. This study reports our expanded experience with EUS-FNA/B for rectal and perirectal lesions in terms of diagnostic accuracy and safety. We also included our new experience with EUS-FNB using the recently introduced ProCore needle.

Methods

From April 2009 to March 2014, EUS-FNA/B for rectal and perirectal lesions was performed in 30 consecutive patients. We evaluated EUS-FNA/B performance by comparing histological diagnoses with final results. We also investigated factors affecting diagnostic accuracy.

Results

Among 10 patients with SETs, EUS-FNA/B specimen results revealed a gastrointestinal stromal tumor in 4 patients and malignant lymphoma in 1 patient. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA/B was 50% for SETs (5/10). Among 20 patients with non-SET lesions, 8 patients were diagnosed with malignant disease and 7 were diagnosed with benign disease based on both EUS-FNA/B and the final results. The diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA/B for non-SET lesions was 75% (15/20). The size of lesions was the only factor related to diagnostic accuracy (P=0.027). Two complications of mild fever and asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum occurred after EUS-FNA/B.

Conclusions

The overall diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA/B for rectal and perirectal lesions was 67% (20/30). EUS-FNA/B is a clinically useful method for cytological and histological diagnoses of rectal and perirectal lesions.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare, noninherited gastrointestinal polyposis syndrome associated with ectodermal changes such as alopecia, nail dystrophy, and cutaneous hyperpigmentation. The etiology and pathogenesis of CCS are not known, but diarrhea, malnutrition, gastrointestinal bleeding, and infection may occur in the affected patient; moreover, this condition could be fatal. However, previous reports have described several cases of spontaneous remission. We report a 60-year-old man who was incidentally found to have colonic polyposis, alopecia, and hypogeusia and was diagnosed to have CCS. However, this patient experienced spontaneous remission, including regrowth of body hair and alleviation of bowel inflammation, without any specific medications such as steroids, antibiotics, or proton pump inhibitors.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Advances in endoscopic technology seek to improve the accuracy of neoplastic tumor detection. Recently developed endoscopy devices such as narrow-band imaging (NBI) nevertheless have limitations in morphologic diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a novel imaging technique—near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging using a protease-activatable nanoprobe—could provide more accurate neoplastic tumor detection, compared to NBI. Methods: Images of the intestines of ApcMin/+ mice were obtained by NIRF using a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-sensing probe, which was based on a nanoparticle platform. Immediately after imaging, endoscopy with NBI capability was performed on the same excised intestine. Macroscopic and microscopic findings in the intestines were assessed, and MMP expression was analyzed by Western blotting and real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Numerous tiny polypoid lesions were present in the intestines of aged ApcMin/+ mice. These lesions included adenomas, lymphoid follicles, and protruding normal tissues. When using NIRF imaging with an MMP-activatable nanoprobe, adenomatous polyps showed higher fluorescence, compared to lymphoid follicles or adjacent normal tissues. The expression of MMP was higher in the adenomatous tissue than in the other tissues. The sensitivity and specificity for adenoma detection were 88.9% and 82.2%, respectively, when using NIRF imaging with a MMP-nanoprobe, compared to 77.8% and 66.7%, respectively, when using NBI (P<0.05). Conclusions: Near-infrared fluorescence imaging with a protease-activatable nanoprobe could aid in the differentiation of tumor characteristics. Clinical application of this approach may improve the endoscopic detection of neoplastic tumors. (Intest Res 2013;11:268-275)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
With the growing volume of screening colonoscopies, the incidence of rectal carcinoids and the number of endoscopic resections for rectal carcinoids are also increasing. However, the prognosis including recurrence and metachronous lesions after endoscopic resection is unclear. Methods: The medical records of 255 patients who had undergone endoscopic resection for rectal carcinoids between October 1999 and April 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: The number of males was 150 (58.8%), and the mean age was 54.1 years (range, 27-85 years). Mean tumor size was 6.9 mm. In total, 162 cases (63.5%) were treated with endoscopic mucosal resection and 93 (36.5%) were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. Although endoscopic complete resections were achieved in all cases, the histological examination showed 47 cases with a positive resection margin (18.4%) and three with lymphovascular invasion (1.2%). In the 54 patients with a free resection margin, who were followed for more than 12 months, abdominopelvic computed tomography and endoscopy did not show recurrence after a median of 30.5 and 36 months, respectively. Three patients with lymphovascular invasion did not show recurrence during follow-up period of 13, 30, and 37 months, respectively. Metachronous rectal carcinoids were detected in four patients at 23, 58, 61, and 89 months, respectively, after initial endoscopic resection, leading to a second endoscopic treatment. Conclusions: Small rectal carcinoids completely resected grossly and pathologically without lymphovascular invasion appear to have low probability of short-term recurrence. However, considering the slow growth rate of carcinoids, long-term follow-up for recurrence and metachronous carcinoids is required. (Intest Res 2011;9:217-224)

Background/Aims
This study aimed to evaluate the adverse events and efficacy of azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) in Korean patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 700 patients with CD (male:female=469:231; median age at diagnosis, 22 years; agerange, 9-74 years) who were treated at the Asan Medical Center between January 1997 and January 2006. Results: Of 700 patients, 372 (53.1%) were treated with AZA/6-MP. The cumulative rates of AZA/6-MP treatment at 1, 5, 10, and 20 years were 17.4%, 51.6%, 73.1%, and 94.5%, respectively. Of 372 patients treated with AZA/6-MP, 217 patients (58.3%) experienced 291 adverse events, requiring discontinuation of therapy in 41 patients (11%). Nausea occurred in 120 patients (32.3%) and led to discontinuation of therapy in 11 patients (3.0%). Leukopenia developed in 116 patients (31.2%), requiring dose adjustments in 100 patients (26.9%) and discontinuation of medications in 16 patients (4.3%). Other adverse events included infections (2.7%), abnormal liver function tests (2.7%), fever (0.8%), hair loss (0.8%), arthralgias (0.5%), pancreatitis (0.5%), headaches (0.5%), and skin rashes (0.3%). Complete corticosteroids withdrawal was achieved in 70.9% of the patients based on an intention-to-treat analysis. The remission rate of perianal fistulas was 32.6%. Conclusions: The risk of leukopenia by AZA/6-MP is higher in Korean patients with CD than in Western patients. Although the adverse events of AZA/6-MP are not uncommon in Korean patients with CD, the actual discontinuation rate of the treatment is low. Therefore, AZA/6-MP can be administered to most Korean patients with CD without serious adverse events. (Intest Res 2009;7:22-31)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Currently, screening colonscopy is widely performed in the medical field. The initial time of screening is recommended at an age of 50 years, but the age to cease screening is unknown. Accordingly, we have investigated the diagnostic yield of colonoscopy according to indications in the elderly, and we evaluated if screening colonoscopy is useful in the elderly. Methods: We recruited asymptomatic individuals undergoing screening colonoscopy according to age (2830 subjects aged 50-74 years and 111 subjects ≥75 years-old), The colonoscopy findings of the study subjects were compared. In addition, colonoscopy findings of asymptomatic subjects more than 75 years-old were compared with the findings of symptomatic subjects with the same age. Results: The yield for overall neoplasia and advanced adenoma was higher in the group of subjects ≥75 years-old than in the 50-74 years age group (overall adenoma: 49.54% versus 24.98%, p<0.001; advanced adenoma: 16.2% versus 8.23%, p=0.003). The overall frequency of neoplasms was higher in asymptomatic subjects ≥75 years-old than in symptomatic subjects ≥75 years-old (49.54% versus 28.19%, p<0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of advanced adenoma increased with age. Screening colonoscopy was still significantly effective in elderly subjects ≥75 years-old. The lack of a decline in the frequency of adenoma, including advanced adenoma, justifies continuing screening colonoscopy in the elderly. (Intest Res 2008;6:25-30)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
There are a limited number of studies concerning the outcomes of diverticulitis in the Oriental population. We sought to evaluate the clinical features and the long-term outcomes of diverticulitis in Korean patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical courses of 104 patients (59 men, 45 women; median age 48.5 years [range: 24-83 years]) hospitalized for their first episode of diverticulitis between 1989 and 2005. Results: Right-sided diverticulitis was more common (71/104, 68%). However, the proportion of left-sided diverticulitis increased as age increased. Thirty-two patients underwent operations: 30 because of complications and 2 because of presumed appendicitis. Left-sided diverticulitis was an independent risk factor for complications (OR=7.6, p< 0.001), and it required surgical treatment more often than right-sided diverticulitis did (61% vs. 17%, p<0.001). Eighty-five patients were followed for a median of 36 months. Four of the 62 medically treated patients developed recurrence of diverticulitis, with a 3-year cumulative recurrence rate of 4.8%. None of the 4 recurrences showed complications, and all were successfully managed using conservative treatment. No predictive factors for the recurrence of diverticulitis could be determined. Conclusions: The recurrence rate and risk of complications associated with recurrence are low in patients treated conservatively for the first episode of diverticulitis. Therefore, elective surgery to prevent recurrence and complications should be utilized sparingly in patients with diverticulitis. (Intest Res 2008;6:37-44)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Rectal hyposensitivity (RH) has been treated with conventional biofeedback therapy (BFT), whereas the effectiveness and long term results of this therapy are not known. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of BFT for patients with RH by conducting a retrospective review of prospectively collected data. Methods: From June 2004 to March 2007, we enrolled those RH patients who underwent BFT. BFT was performed two or three times every week. Six months after BFT, the clinical response was evaluated by subjective and objective parameters. Results: A total of 82 RH patients underwent BFT. Fifty three patients finished BFT and the other 29 patients dropped out during BFT. Thirty six patients (67.9%) showed responsiveness (R) to BFT and 17 (31.5%) showed non-responsiveness (NR). The characteristics between the two groups showed no difference, except for the "desire to defecate" volume (116.1±25.2 in the R group vs. 140.0±43.9 in the NR group, p value <0.05) and the rectoanal inhibitory reflex (RAIR) (15.6±0.5 in the R group R vs. 27.6±18.2 in the NR group, p value <0.05). The R group showed a shorter colon transit time compared to NR group. At six months after BFT, a total of 20 patients were interviewed; 15 patients answered that they still had responsiveness (75%). Conclusions: The patients with RH showed a similar BFT response to that of the constipated patients. However, the patients with a more hyposensitive rectum and a longer colonic transit showed NR to BFT, suggesting RH is an important factor in BFT responsiveness. (Intest Res 2008;6:56-69)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (TB) are chronic inflammatory bowel disorders that are difficult to differentiate. Therefore, a therapeutic trial of antimycobacterial drugs is often used to differentiate CD from TB. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of C-reactive protein (CRP) level before or during antimycobacterial therapy to differentiate CD from TB. Methods: A total of 26 CD patients and 52 TB patients who received antimycobacterial therapy at the Asan Medical Center were included. CRP levels before or during antimycobacterial therapy were compared between CD and TB patients. A positive response to antimycobacterial therapy was defined as the decrease of CRP level below 50% of its baseline value. Results: The baseline CRP level was normal in only 1 of 26 CD patients (3.8%), while it was in 26 of 52 TB patients (50%). The rate of positive response to antimycobacterial therapy was significantly different between CD and TB patients whose baseline CRP level was abnormal: 28.0% (7/25) vs 88.5% (23/26) in 2 weeks, 34.8% (8/23) vs 84.6% (22/26) in 4 weeks, and 43.5% (10/23) vs 92.3% (24/26) in 8 weeks of antimycobacterial therapy. The rate of normalization in CRP level was also significantly different between the two groups: 0% (0/25) vs 73.1% (19/26) in 2 weeks, 13.0% (3/23) vs 69.2% (18/26) in 4 weeks, and 8.7% (2/23) vs 80.8% (21/26) in 8 weeks of antimycobacterial therapy. Conclusions: The CRP level before and during antimycobacterial therapy may be used as a supplementary tool in the differential diagnosis between CD and TB patients. (Intest Res 2007;5:19-25)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background/Aims
Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) shows a diverse clinical course. The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of sigmoidoscopy in PMC. Methods: Sigmoidoscopic findings and medical records were analyzed in 74 patients with PMC (male:female=38:36, 62⁑16 years). Sigmoidoscopic grades of PMC were classified into mild (n=45) when pseudomembrane covered <1/3 of lumen, moderate (n=18) when it covered 1/3-2/3 of lumen, and severe (n=11) when its extent was >2/3 of lumen. Results: In comparison to sigmoidoscopy, diagnostic sensitivity of enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for C. difficile toxin A was 29%. EIA sensitivity was 38% in mild, 28% in moderate, 0% in severe sigmoidoscopic grade (p=0.02). Risk factors for severe sigmoidoscopic grade were ileus, nasogastric tube insertion, and serum albumin below 2.3 g/dL. Initial treatment success rate was lower in severe grade (33%) than mild (96%) and moderate grade (83%) (p<0.01). One year mortality rate was lower in severe grade (17%) than mild (85%) and moderate grade (84%) (p=0.01). Old age and severe sigmoidoscopic grade were risk factors for death. Conclusions: Sigmoidoscopic severity grading may be useful in the prediction of prognosis in PMC patients. Sigmoidoscopy may also be useful in the diagnosis of PMC, especially in patients with severe PMC. (Intest Res 2007;5:45-51)
