Background: Several recent studies have found that the efficacy of computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) on the adenoma detection rate (ADR) diminished in real-world settings. The role of unmeasured factors in AI-human interaction, such as monitor approaches, remains unknown. This study aimed to validate the effectiveness of CADe in the real world and assess the impact of monitor approaches.

Background And Aim: The implementation of computer-aided detection (CAD) devices in esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) could autonomously identify gastric precancerous lesions and neoplasms and reduce the miss rate of gastric neoplasms in prospective trials. However, there is still insufficient evidence of their use in real-life clinical practice.
Methods: A real-world, two-center study was conducted at Wenzhou Central Hospital (WCH) and Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University (RHWU).

Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has led to health complications beyond respiratory symptoms, revealing multi-organ involvement, including potential gastrointestinal implications.
Patient Concerns: We present a case of a 40-year-old female without any history of achalasia who developed symptoms of the condition following a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Unusually, multiple esophageal ulcers were identified, which are not typically associated with achalasia.

Background: Changes in gastric mucosa caused by () infection affect the observation of early gastric cancer under endoscopy. Although previous researches reported that computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have great potential in the diagnosis of infection, their explainability remains a challenge.
Objective: We aim to develop an explainable artificial intelligence system for diagnosing infection (EADHI) and giving diagnostic basis under endoscopy.
Background: Isolated metachronous metastatic small intestinal squamous cell carcinoma is rare, and it is sometimes is difficult to determine whether small intestinal squamous cell carcinoma is metastatic by immunohistochemistry alone. At present, there is no literature analyzing the gene profile of metastatic small intestinal squamous cell carcinoma.
Case Description: We met a 62-year-old male patient who had a history of lung squamous cell carcinoma surgery.

Background: A novel scoring system and screening procedure for gastric cancer (GC) screening was proposed based on the national conditions of China, which state that endoscopy professionals and facilities are relatively limited compared with the large Chinese population.
Methods: A novel scoring system for gastric cancer screening was used to retrospectively analyse the patients who met the screening procedure from April 2017 to December 2019 in our hospital. We divided all of the patients into three groups: low-risk group (0-11 scores), medium-risk group (12-16 scores), and high-risk group (17-23 scores).
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: An electronic search was conducted in eight databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Chinese VIP Database, and Wanfang Database) from inception until December 2019. The risk of bias assessment of the included RCTs was evaluated by Cochrane collaboration's tool.

Rationale: Metastases to the duodenum in cervical squamous cell carcinoma are extremely rare, with only 7 cases reported in the published English literature.
Patient Concerns: We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with duodenal metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma who presented with nausea and vomiting within the past 12 days.
Diagnosis: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a circular narrowed 2nd part of the duodenum with congested and edematous mucosa, which was biopsied for a suspected neoplastic lesion.

Background And Aim: It is important to predict the risk of gastric cancer (GC) for endoscopists because early detection of GC determines the selection of the best treatment strategy and the prognosis of patients. The study aimed to evaluate the utility of a predictive nomogram based on the Kyoto classification of gastritis for GC.
Methods: It was a retrospective study that included 2639 patients who received esophagogastroduodenoscopy and serum pepsinogen (PG) assay from January 2019 to November 2019 at the Endoscopy Center of the Department of Gastroenterology, Wenzhou Central Hospital.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a novel type of noncoding RNAs of over 200 nucleotides, characterized by no or limited protein-coding potential. Although the function of lncRNAs attracts increasing attention recently, the relationship between lncRNA and colorectal cancer (CRC) remains further investigation. In our study, we found that lncRNA HAND2-AS1 was markedly downregulated in CRC tissues.

Methods: From January 2006 to March 2010, sixty-two HCC patients were randomly treated with RFA combined with TACE (n = 32) or RFA alone (n = 30). This group included the patients who had Child-Pugh class A or B with three or fewer tumors, in which just one tumor size was 3 - 5 cm in diameter, and no evidence of extrahepatic tumor metastasis or macrovascular invasion.
