Background: There have been no studies on predicting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status in patients with resectable gastric cancer (GC) in the neoadjuvant and perioperative settings. We aimed to investigate the use of preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) imaging features combined with clinical characteristics for predicting HER2 expression in GC.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 301 patients with GC who underwent curative resection and preoperative CECT. HER2 status was confirmed by postoperative immunohistochemical analysis with or without fluorescence in situ hybridization. A prediction model was developed using CECT imaging features and clinical characteristics that were independently associated with HER2 status using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed and the performance of the prediction model was evaluated. The bootstrap method was used for internal validation.
Results: Three CECT imaging features and one serum tumor marker were independently associated with HER2 status in GC: enhancement ratio in the arterial phase (odds ratio [OR] = 4.535; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.220-9.264), intratumoral necrosis (OR = 2.64; 95% CI, 1.180-5.258), tumor margin (OR = 3.773; 95% CI, 1.968-7.235), and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) level (OR = 5.551; 95% CI, 1.361-22.651). A prediction model derived from these variables showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.802 (95% CI, 0.740-0.864) for predicting HER2 status in GC. The established model was stable, and the parameters were accurately estimated.
Conclusions: Enhancement ratio in the arterial phase, intratumoral necrosis, tumor margin, and CA125 levels were independently associated with HER2 status in GC. The prediction model derived from these factors may be used preoperatively to estimate HER2 status in GC and guide clinical treatment.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among young adults and is associated with a substantial risk of death from suicide and medical complications. Transaminase elevations are common in patients with AN at the time of hospital admission and have been associated with longer lengths of hospital stay. Multiple types of hepatitis may occur in these patients, including two types that occur only in patients with AN: starvation hepatitis and refeeding-induced hepatitis. Starvation hepatitis is characterized by severe transaminase elevation in patients in the advanced phase of protein-energy deprivation and is associated with complications of severe starvation, such as hypoglycaemia, hypothermia, and hypotension. Refeeding-induced hepatitis is characterized by a milder increase in transaminases that occurs in the early refeeding phase and is associated with hypophosphatemia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesaemia. Among the most common forms of hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury is particularly relevant in this patient cohort, given the frequent use and abuse of methamphetamines, laxatives, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. In this review, we provided an overview of the different forms of anorexic-associated hepatitis, a diagnostic approach that can help the clinician to correctly frame the problem, and indications on their management and treatment.
神经性厌食症(AN)是青壮年中最常见的精神疾病之一,与自杀和医疗并发症相关的死亡风险很大。神经性厌食症患者入院时转氨酶升高很常见,并且与住院时间延长有关。这些患者可能会发生多种类型的肝炎,其中有两种类型仅发生在 AN 患者身上:饥饿性肝炎和进食诱发性肝炎。饥饿性肝炎的特征是处于蛋白质能量缺乏晚期的患者转氨酶严重升高,并与严重饥饿的并发症有关,如低血糖、低体温和低血压。进食诱发肝炎的特点是转氨酶升高较轻,发生在进食早期,与低磷血症、低钾血症和低镁血症有关。在最常见的肝炎形式中,药物性肝损伤与这类患者群尤其相关,因为他们经常使用和滥用甲基苯丙胺、泻药、抗抑郁药和抗精神病药。在这篇综述中,我们概述了厌食症相关肝炎的不同形式、有助于临床医生正确判断问题的诊断方法以及处理和治疗指征。

Evidence-based research has confirmed the role of gastrointestinal microbiota in regulating intestinal inflammation. These data have generated interest in developing microbiota-based therapies for the prevention and management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite in-depth understanding of the etiology of IBD, it currently lacks a cure and requires ongoing management. Accumulating data suggest that an aberrant gastrointestinal microbiome, often referred to as dysbiosis, is a significant environmental instigator of IBD. Novel microbiome-targeted interventions including prebiotics, probiotics, fecal microbiota transplant, and small molecule microbiome modulators are being evaluated as therapeutic interventions to attenuate intestinal inflammation by restoring a healthy microbiota composition and function. In this review, the effectiveness and challenges of microbiome-centered interventions that have the potential to alleviate intestinal inflammation and improve clinical outcomes of IBD are explored.

This article presents an overview of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT), an innovative and minimally invasive treatment for appendicitis with an appendix-preserving manner. Since its initial application in 2009, ERAT has gained significant popularity in China, due to its rapid recovery and minimal risk of complications. The ERAT procedures comprise several steps, including appendiceal orifice access and intubation, appendiceal lumen imaging, decompression and irrigation, fecalith removal, and stenting. ERAT has been used in various forms of complicated appendicitis, such as in pregnant women and children, with continuous improvements in both technique and safety. It has the potential to become the preferred diagnostic and treatment method for appendicitis. Until 2023, over 10,000 ERAT procedures have been successfully conducted in China, and the technique has gained more attention worldwide. However, challenges remain, including training, standardization of ERAT practice, research and technology improvement, enhancing public awareness, and fostering international collaboration. In summary, ERAT can be the standard treatment for appendicitis treatment, which represents a paradigm shift in the conventional clinical practice.
本文概述了内镜逆行阑尾炎治疗(ERAT),这是一种保留阑尾的创新微创阑尾炎治疗方法。自2009年首次应用以来,ERAT因其恢复快、并发症风险低而在中国大受欢迎。ERAT手术由多个步骤组成,包括阑尾孔进入和插管、阑尾腔成像、减压和冲洗、粪石清除和支架植入。ERAT 已被用于各种形式的复杂性阑尾炎,如孕妇和儿童阑尾炎,其技术和安全性也在不断改进。它有可能成为阑尾炎的首选诊断和治疗方法。截至 2023 年,中国已成功开展了超过 10,000 例 ERAT 手术,该技术在全球范围内受到越来越多的关注。然而,挑战依然存在,包括培训、ERAT操作标准化、研究和技术改进、提高公众意识以及促进国际合作。总之,ERAT 可以成为阑尾炎治疗的标准疗法,代表着传统临床实践的范式转变。

Background Visceral fat represents a metabolically active entity linked to adverse metabolic sequelae of obesity. We aimed to determine if celiac artery mesenteric fat thickness can be reliably measured during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and if these measurements correlate with metabolic disease burden. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent celiac artery mesenteric fat measurement with endosonography (CAMEUS) measurement at a tertiary referral center, and a validation prospective trial of patients with obesity and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis who received paired EUS exams with CAMEUS measurement before and after six months of treatment with an intragastric balloon. Results CAMEUS was measured in 154 patients [56.5% females, mean age 56.5 ± 18.0 years, body mass index (BMI) 29.8 ± 8.0 kg/m2] and was estimated at 14.7 ± 6.5 mm. CAMEUS better correlated with the presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (R2 = 0.248, P < 0.001) than BMI (R2 = 0.153, P < 0.001), and significantly correlated with metabolic parameters and diseases. After six months of intragastric balloon placement, the prospective cohort experienced 11.7% total body weight loss, 1.3 points improvement in hemoglobin A1c (P = 0.001), and a 29.4% average decrease in CAMEUS (−6.4 ± 5.2 mm, P < 0.001). CAMEUS correlated with improvements in weight (R2 = 0.368), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (R2 = 0.138), and NAFLD activity score (R2 = 0.156) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions CAMEUS is a novel measure that is significantly correlated with critical metabolic indices and can be easily captured during routine EUS to risk-stratify susceptible patients. This station could allow for EUS access to sampling and therapeutics of this metabolic region.
