Authors: M.E. Lera Dos Santos, I.M. Proença, S.E. Matuguma, S. Cheng, J.R. De Freitas Junior, I.B. Ribeiro, D.T.H. De Moura, E. Guimaraes Hourneaux De Moura
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Aims Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is considered the gold standard for the treatment of encapsulated pancreatic collections (EPCs) – pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis (WON) –, presenting the same clinical efficacy as surgical drainage, but fewer complications and less morbidity. Several types of stents have been developed and used for this purpose, however, there is no strong evidence to support which is the best option. The aim of this RCT is to compare the efficacy and safety of the SEMS versus LAMS for EUS-guided drainage of EPCs.

Authors: Yazhuo Huang, Lingyu Zhang, Yongrong Ji, Hongpei Deng, Mingce Long, Shengfang Ge, Yanjie Su, Siew Yin Chan, Xian Jun Loh, Ai Zhuang, Jing Ruan
Journal: Bioactive Materials (2022)

Existing strategies for bone defect repair are difficult to monitor. Smart scaffold materials that can quantify the efficiency of new bone formation are important for bone regeneration and monitoring. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have promising bioactivity and electrical conductivity. In this study, a noninvasive and intelligent monitoring scaffold was prepared for bone regeneration and monitoring by integrating carboxylated CNT into chemically cross-linked carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel. CNT scaffold (0.5% w/v) demonstrated improved mechanical properties with good biocompatibility and electrochemical responsiveness. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of CNT scaffold responded sensitively to seed cell differentiation degree in both cellular and animal levels. Interestingly, the CNT scaffold could make up the easy deactivation shortfall of bone morphogenetic protein 2 by sustainably enhancing stem cell osteogenic differentiation and new bone tissue formation through CNT roles. This research provides new ideas for the development of noninvasive and electrochemically responsive bioactive scaffolds, marking an important step in the development of intelligent tissue engineering.

Authors: B. Tormo Lanseros, J. Santiago Garcia, D. de Frutos Rosa, D. Martin Rodriguez, B. Botella Mateu, A.M. Dotor de Lama, F. Valentin Gomez, A. Herreros de Tejada Echanojauregui
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Three patients with chronic diarrhea and severe blood tests abnormalities underwent an endoscopic examination that revealed three giant (>10cm) tubulovillous adenomas in the rectum. This clinical presentation was consistent with a McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome (MWS). Surgical treatment is the first line option in most reported series. For these cases, ESD was planned and successfully performed without significant complications. En-bloc resection was achieved in 100% cases. After 12 months of follow-up no recurrence was noted. Symptoms and blood tests abnormalities completely disappeared after the endoscopic treatment was performed. ESD can be considered as a very effective treatment option for MWS.

Authors: Sridhar Sundaram, Kiran Mane, Unique Tyagi, Aadish Kumar Jain, Utkarsh Chhanchure, Prachi Patil, Shaesta Mehta
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

A 57-year-old man with metastatic periampullary carcinoma and a history of previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and placement of a double-pigtail plastic stent for distal common bile duct (CBD) obstruction presented with severe cholangitis and blockage of the stent. Emergency left-sided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was performed. A computed tomography scan prior to the PTBD showed gastric outlet obstruction with a distally migrated double-pigtail stent, hinged in the distal CBD ([Fig. 1]). During removal of the plastic stent, an infiltrative narrowing was seen, which started at the junction of the first and second parts of the duodenum, and extended to the papilla ([Fig. 2 a]). A pediatric upper gastrointestinal endoscope (GIF XP170N; Olympus Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) was negotiated across the narrowing; however, the stent could not be retrieved.

PREDICTED ABSOLUTE RISK OF LYMPH NODE METASTASIS IN T1 COLORECTAL CANCER IN THE SOLE PRESENCE OF TUMOUR BUDDING, LYMPHOVASCULAR INVASION, OR POOR DIFFERENTIATION: A META-ANALYSIS
Authors: S.R.B. Lamme, L. van der Schee, K.M. Gijsbers, K.J.C. Haasnoot, P. Didden, M.M. Lacle, S.G. Elias, L.M.G. Moons
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Aims High-grade (Bd2/Bd3) tumour budding (TB), poor differentiation (PD) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) are regarded as the strongest predictors for lymph node metastasis (LNM), and their presence considered an indication for completion surgery. However, these risk factors are strongly intercorrelated and their individual predictive strength is unclear. This study therefore aimed to investigate the absolute risk of LNM in the presence of only one of these risk factors.

Authors: Ruthie Birger, Marina Antillón, Joke Bilcke, Christiane Dolecek, Gordon Dougan, Andrew J Pollard, Kathleen M Neuzil, Isabel Frost, Ramanan Laxminarayan, Virginia E Pitzer
Journal: The Lancet Infectious Diseases (2022)

Multidrug resistance and fluoroquinolone non-susceptibility (FQNS) are major concerns for the epidemiology and treatment of typhoid fever. The 2018 prequalification of the first typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) by WHO provides an opportunity to limit the transmission and burden of antimicrobial-resistant typhoid fever.We combined output from mathematical models of typhoid transmission with estimates of antimicrobial resistance from meta-analyses to predict the burden of antimicrobial-resistant typhoid fever across 73 lower-income countries eligible for support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. We considered FQNS and multidrug resistance separately. The effect of vaccination was predicted on the basis of forecasts of vaccine coverage. We explored how the potential effect of vaccination on the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance varied depending on key model parameters.The introduction of routine immunisation with TCV at age 9 months with a catch-up campaign up to age 15 years was predicted to avert 46-74% of all typhoid fever cases in 73 countries eligible for Gavi support. Vaccination was predicted to reduce the relative prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant typhoid fever by 16% (95% prediction interval [PI] 0-49). TCV introduction with a catch-up campaign was predicted to avert 42·5 million (95% PI 24·8-62·8 million) cases and 506 000 (95% PI 187 000-1·9 million) deaths caused by FQNS typhoid fever, and 21·2 million (95% PI 16·4-26·5 million) cases and 342 000 (95% PI 135 000-1·5 million) deaths from multidrug-resistant typhoid fever over 10 years following introduction.Our results indicate the benefits of prioritising TCV introduction for countries with a high avertable burden of antimicrobial-resistant typhoid fever.The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Journal: Cancer Discovery (2022)

The majority of metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRC) are mismatch repair (MMR) proficient and unresponsive to immunotherapy, whereas MMR-deficient (MMRd) tumors often respond to immune-checkpoint blockade. We previously reported that the treatment of colorectal cancer preclinical models with temozolomide (TMZ) leads to MMR deficiency, increased tumor mutational burden (TMB), and sensitization to immunotherapy. To clinically translate these findings, we designed the ARETHUSA clinical trial whereby O6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT)-deficient, MMR-proficient, RAS-mutant mCRC patients received priming therapy with TMZ. Analysis of tissue biopsies and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) revealed the emergence of a distinct mutational signature and increased TMB after TMZ treatment. Multiple alterations in the nucleotide context favored by the TMZ signature emerged in MMR genes, and the p.T1219I MSH6 variant was detected in ctDNA and tissue of 94% (16/17) of the cases. A subset of patients whose tumors displayed the MSH6 mutation, the TMZ mutational signature, and increased TMB achieved disease stabilization upon pembrolizumab treatment. MMR-proficient mCRCs are unresponsive to immunotherapy. We provide the proof of concept that inactivation of MMR genes can be achieved pharmacologically with TMZ and molecularly monitored in the tissue and blood of patients with mCRC. This strategy deserves additional evaluation in mCRC patients whose tumors are no longer responsive to standard-of-care treatments. See related commentary by Willis and Overman, p. 1612.

PERFORMANCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHM FOR THE DETECTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL ANGIOECTASIA IN DEVICE-ASSISTED ENTEROSCOPY: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: T. Ribeiro, M. Mascarenhas Saraiva, J. Afonso, P. Cardoso, J. Ferreira, P. Andrade, H. Cardoso, G. Macedo
Journal: Endoscopy (2022)

Aims Device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) allows deeper exploration of the small bowel and has the advantage of allowing tissue sampling and endoscopic therapy. Suspected mid-gastrointestinal bleeding (particularly after positive capsule endoscopy) is the most frequent indication for DAE, and angiectasia is the most common lesion. Nevertheless, the detection rate in this setting remains suboptimal (68%).
