Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims The interpretation of small bowel (SB) capsule endoscopy (CE) findings remains subjective and depends on readers’ opinion and experience. In case of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), the ESGE suggests the use of a score for assessing the pertinency of lesions seen in SB-CE . However, this score (P0-P1-P2) lacks of scientific validation. Moreover, there is currently no evaluation of the pertinency of ulcerative and inflammatory lesions found in CE in patients with suspicion of Crohn´s disease (CD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the pertinency of the most frequent SB-CE findings through an illustrated script questionnaire.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic with serious clinical manifestations including death. A pandemic at the large-scale like COVID-19 places extraordinary demands on the world's health systems, dramatically devastates vulnerable populations, and critically threatens the global communities in an unprecedented way. While tremendous efforts at the frontline are placed on detecting the virus, providing treatments and developing vaccines, it is also critically important to examine the technologies and systems for tackling disease emergence, arresting its spread and especially the strategy for diseases prevention. The objective of this article is to review enabling technologies and systems with various application scenarios for handling the COVID-19 crisis. The article will focus specifically on 1) wearable devices suitable for monitoring the populations at risk and those in quarantine, both for evaluating the health status of caregivers and management personnel, and for facilitating triage processes for admission to hospitals; 2) unobtrusive sensing systems for detecting the disease and for monitoring patients with relatively mild symptoms whose clinical situation could suddenly worsen in improvised hospitals; and 3) telehealth technologies for the remote monitoring and diagnosis of COVID-19 and related diseases. Finally, further challenges and opportunities for future directions of development are highlighted.

Authors: JA Núñez Otero, JM Riesco López, AD Sánchez, GG Diego, MR Fernández, RM Fernández, EM Valverde, AI González Tallón, SG Mulas, RC Cantero
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims Endoscopic full-thickness resection (eFTR) is an innovative technique for the treatment of colorectal lesions that are difficult to approach or not subsidiary of mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection, allowing en bloc resection and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. Indicated in diverticular or appendicular lesions, non-lifting lesions (recurrent/residual lesions and non-treated lesions), early cancer and subepithelial lesions, it is based on the “over-the-scope-clip” technology. We retrospectively evaluated the feasibility, usefulness and safety of eFTR with the full-thickness resection device (FTRD, Ovesco Endoscopy, Tübingen, Germany).
LYNCH SYNDROME VARIANT PATHOGENICITY; THE IMPORTANCE OF REVIEWING RISK CLASSIFICATIONS
Authors: T Ryan, S Foy, J Leyden, P MacMathuna, N Mehigan Farrelly, M Elsiddig
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

Aims Lynch syndrome (LS) is the commonest known cause of hereditary colorectal cancer. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair genes (MMR)- MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM. Variant classification can have a significant effect on management/surveillance choices, whether pathogenic, of uncertain significance or benign. The risk classification of these variants is not permanent and can be upgraded or downgraded over time as more information on that variant becomes available.

Promotion in urinary bladder carcinogenesis.
Authors: S M Cohen
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1983)

Aromatic amines, including 2-naphthylamine, 4-aminobiphenyl and benzidine, are known urinary bladder carcinogens in man and other species, but in rodents, aromatic amines and amides have usually induced liver tumors, occasionally also with tumors of the bladder and other tissues. Variations in organ specificity are related to differences in metabolism; for the production of bladder tumors, the rates of acetylation and deacetylation appear to be critical. Bladder specific carcinogens in rodents and other species have subsequently been identified, including N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN) administered in the drinking water, N-[(4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]formamide (FANFT) in the diet and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) instilled intravesically. When low doses of several bladder carcinogens (BBN, FANFT, 2-acetylaminofluorene, and 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine) are administered to rats, either simultaneously or sequentially, a synergistic effect is observed with respect to bladder carcinogenesis. In addition, a multistage carcinogenesis process has been demonstrated for the rat bladder using MNU or FANFT as initiators, and dietary sodium saccharin, sodium cyclamate, or tryptophan as promoters. Calculi (or pellets) appear to enhance the promotion process but are not necessary for it to occur. Recent studies also indicate that urine has a role in the promoting process. The urothelium normally has a very low mitotic rate. If mucosal proliferation is increased, such as during fetal development or during regeneration and repair of an ulcer, the bladder appears to be considerably more sensitive to the effects of promoting substances. For example, if sodium saccharin is administered to rats after ulceration of the bladder, even without prior administration of an initiator, bladder carcinoma develops. Under these conditions, the substance appears as a carcinogen. Human populations with increased bladder epithelial proliferation, such as fetus, infants, patients with bacterial cystitis or men with partially obstructive prostatism, may have increased susceptibility to the action of carcinogenic or promoting stimuli.

V ENDOSCOPIC SIGMOIDORECTAL ANASTOMOSIS: AN EFFECTIVE NOVEL APPROACH TO RESTORING THE CONTINUITY OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT USING A HOT AXIOS STENT
Authors: S Kozieł, K Kozłowska-Petriczko, K Pawlak, J Petriczko, J Pertkiewicz, A Wiechowska-Kozłowska
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

We present an endoscopic randez-vous approach with Hot Axios Stent for restoring the continuity of the digestive tract by creating a sigmoidorectal anastomosis. Surgical treatment impossible due to massive postoperative adhesions after anterior rectal resection, complicated by dehiscence of anastomosis managed by a double-barreled ileostomy. Rectal stump was reached simultaneously through the anus (EUS) and ileostomy (enteroscope). 200 ml of saline was injected into the stump through enteroscope for visualization in EUS. The stent was then deployed under EUS and fluoroscopy guidance followed by balloon dilatation (15 mm). Stent removal and ileostomy closure after 4 weeks. At 12th week stable anastomosis.

Journal: Arthritis & Rheumatology (2020)

Objective To determine the role of JNK signaling in the development of osteoarthritis ( OA ) induced by joint injury or aging in mice. Methods In the joint injury model, 12‐week‐old wild‐type control, JNK 1 −/− , JNK 2 −/− , and JNK 1 fl/fl JNK 2 −/− aggecan‐Cre ERT 2 double‐knockout mice were subjected to destabilization of the medial meniscus ( DMM ) (n = 15 mice per group) or sham surgery (n = 9–10 mice per group), and OA was evaluated 8 weeks later. In the aging experiment, wild‐type control, JNK 1 −/− , and JNK 2 −/− mice (n = 15 per group) were evaluated at 18 months of age. Mouse knee joints were evaluated by scoring articular cartilage structure, toluidine blue staining, osteophytes, and synovial hyperplasia, by histomorphometric analysis, and by immunostaining for the senescence marker p16 INK 4a . Production of matrix metalloproteinase 13 ( MMP ‐13) in cartilage explants in response to fibronectin fragments was measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results There were no differences after DMM surgery between the wild‐type and the JNK ‐knockout mouse groups in articular cartilage structure, toluidine blue, or osteophyte scores or in MMP ‐13 production in explants. All 3 knockout mouse groups had increased subchondral bone thickness and area of cartilage necrosis compared to wild‐type mice. Aged JNK ‐knockout mice had significantly worse articular cartilage structure scores compared to the aged wild‐type control mice (mean ± SD 52 ± 24 in JNK 1 −/− mice and 60 ± 25 in JNK 2 −/− mice versus 32 ± 18 in controls; P = 0.02 and P = 0.004, respectively). JNK 1 −/− mice also had higher osteophyte scores. Deletion of JNK resulted in increased expression of p16 INK 4a in the synovium and cartilage in older mice. Conclusion JNK 1 and JNK 2 are not required for the development of OA in the mouse DMM model. Deletion of JNK 1 or JNK 2 is associated with more severe age‐related OA and increased cell senescence, suggesting that JNK may act as a negative regulator of senescence in the joint.

Abstract 456: High Fat Diet-Induced Atherosclerosis-Driven Myocardial Infarction: Role of Cardiac Long Noncoding RNAs in Triiodo-L-Thyronine-Mediated Protection
Authors: Viswanathan Rajagopalan, Emily Schultz, Youhua Zhang, Olga Savinova, Clifford Costello, Jeanwoo Yoo, Anna Domingo, A M Gerdes
Journal: Circulation Research (2017)

Novel mechanisms associated with therapeutically safe thyroid hormone (TH) therapy are emerging. We have shown that oral triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) offers safe cardioprotection in coronary ligation myocardial infarction (MI), ligation ischemia-reperfusion injury, diabetic cardiomyopathy, etc. via restoration of gene expression. However, safe therapeutic effects following atherosclerosis-driven MI and role of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) is unknown. We employed a mouse model of scavenger receptor B1 knockout with hypomorphic apolipoprotein E. Young adult heterozygote littermates served as controls and all mice received high fat (HF) diet for one month. Along with HF diet, a cohort of homozygotes (HypoE) received therapeutic dose of T3 (5.5 μg/kg/d) in drinking water ad libitum. In HypoE mice, Paigen HF diet induced interstitial fibrotic MI with severe hypertrophic (Heart wt./Body wt., HW/BW: control:4.6±0.14; HypoE:12.9±0.75; p&lt;0.0001) heart failure, depressed left ventricular (LV) contractility, increased end-diastolic pressure, myocyte disarray/loss, vacuolization and inflammatory cell infiltration. Aortic root showed atheromatous lipid deposits and median survival time was 26 days. Cholate-free paigen HF diet, used to achieve more gradual transition showed moderate hypertrophy (HW/BW: control:4.9±0.1; HypoE:7.9±0.95; ; p&lt;0.01), decreased LV contractility, increasing atrial effective refractory period with a median survival of 41.5 days. Other changes include decreased serum thyroxine, increased serum cholesterol, significant splenomegaly and alterations in real-time gene expression of numerous cardiac lncRNAs and limited serum lncRNAs involved in inflammatory and immune responses (&gt;2-fold; p&lt;0.05). Oral T3 therapy with cholate-free diet partially restored LV contractility, atrial refractory period and cardiac lncRNAs without significantly affecting serum lncRNAs. These were accompanied by expected feedback inhibition of thyroxine without negatively impacting hypertrophy or heart rate. This is the first study to show a novel role of lncRNAs in TH-mediated cardioprotection. It also demonstrates possibility of safe preventive T3 therapy in a clinically relevant early coronary artery disease model.

STEP-BY-STEP TECHNIQUE OF ENDOSCOPIC VACUUM THERAPY (ESOSPONGE) FOR THE TREATMENT OF ESOPHAGEAL PERFORATION IN BOHERAAVE SYNDROME
Authors: B Orlandini, A Tringali, I Boškoski, V Perri, P Familiari, G Costamagna
Journal: Endoscopy (2020)

A 52-year-old patient was referred for esophageal perforation after vomiting initially treated with surgery without success and thoracic drainage. Esophagogastroscopy showed a 5-cm long rupture in the lower esophageal wall, resulting in a 5 × 5 cm purulent cavity. Under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance, 9 sessions of Esosponge placement (11 sponges) were performed, firstly applied inside the collection and finally inside the esophageal lumen due to reduction of the perforation’s caliber. During 2 sessions double sponges were inserted simultaneously into the cavity. Final esophagogastroscopy and barium contrast radiography showed a small residual pseudodiverticulum. The patient returned to oral nutrition and fully recovered.
