Individualized small bowel preparation for computed tomography enterography: A prospective randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aim: The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of body mass index (BMI)-based individualized small bowel preparation for computed tomography enterography (CTE).

Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled study, patients undergoing CTE were randomly assigned to the individualized group or standardized group. Those in individualized group were given different volumes of mannitol solution based on BMI (1000 mL for patients with BMI < 18.

Disseminated disease caused by Mycobacterium marseillense: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Among numerous types of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, Mycobacterium avium complex is a related group of species, which can cause various diseases in humans. Mycobacterium marseillense is a member of the Mycobacterium avium complex, which accounts for only a small proportion of species, but causes rare diseases affecting the lungs, lymph nodes, skin, and tendon sheath. So far, very few cases have been reported.

Excessive Mitochondrial Fission Suppresses Mucosal Repair by Impairing Butyrate Metabolism in Colonocytes.

Background: Mucosal healing is one of the principal therapeutic targets for ulcerative colitis (UC). Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo constant fusion and fission; however, the process that is most conducive to mucosal healing remains unclear. This study investigated the role of mitochondrial fission in mucosal healing in UC patients.

Optimal concentration of Lugol's solution for detecting early esophageal carcinoma: A randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aim: Lugol chromoendoscopy is the standard technique to detect an esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, a high concentration of Lugol's solution can induce mucosal injury and adverse events. We aimed to investigate the optimal concentration of Lugol's solution to reduce mucosal injury and adverse events without degrading image quality.

Effects of enhanced education for patients with the Helicobacter pylori infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections are of serious concern due to the associated risk of gastric cancer. However, many patients have poor medication and therapy compliance, which makes it difficult to eradicate their infections.

Development and Validation of an Automatic Image-Recognition Endoscopic Report Generation System: A Multicenter Study.

Introduction: Conventional gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy reports written by physicians are time consuming and might have obvious heterogeneity or omissions, impairing the efficiency and multicenter consultation potential. We aimed to develop and validate an image recognition-based structured report generation system (ISRGS) through a multicenter database and to assess its diagnostic performance.

Methods: First, we developed and evaluated an ISRGS combining real-time video capture, site identification, lesion detection, subcharacteristics analysis, and structured report generation.

Real-time artificial intelligence for endoscopic diagnosis of early esophageal squamous cell cancer (with video).

Background And Aims: Endoscopic diagnosis of early esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is complicated and dependent on operators' experience. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for automatic diagnosis of early ESCC.

Methods: Non-magnifying and magnifying endoscopic images of normal/noncancerous lesions, early ESCC, and advanced esophageal cancer (AEC) were retrospectively obtained from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.

Safety of furazolidone-containing regimen in infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Furazolidone containing regimen is effectivefor () infection, but its safetyremains controversial. To assess the safety of furazolidone containing regimenin infection.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Susceptibility-guided quadruple therapy is not superior to medication history-guided therapy for the rescue treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: In this study we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two personalized rescue therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods: An open-label, single-center, randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients who had failed one or two regimens for H.

Endocuff-assisted colonoscopy versus cap-assisted colonoscopy for adenoma detection rate: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aims: Add-on devices have been widely used in clinical practice. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the adenoma detection rate between Endocuff-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) and cap-assisted colonoscopy (CAC).

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Cochrane databases were searched.

EndoCuff-assisted colonoscopy could improve adenoma detection rate: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate whether EndoCuff-assisted colonoscopy (EAC) could improve adenoma detection rate (ADR) compared with standard colonoscopy (SC).

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles published up to March 2019. All pure randomized controlled trials comparing ADR between EAC and SC groups were included.

[Resistance of to Tigecycline].

Objectives: To determine the impact of long-term use of antibiotics and ultraviolet radiation on the resistance of to tigecycline and the viability of tigecycline-resistant .

Methods: Three strains of tigecycline sensitive were selected. Tigecycline resistance was induced through multi-step method or by ultraviolet radiation.

[Detection of 16S rRNA methylase genes and genotypes in ESBLs-producing enterobacteriaceae isolates from urinary tract infections].

Objective: To study the prevalence of 16S rRNA methylase genes in extended-spectrum-lactamascs (ESBLs)-producing Enterobacteriacea, and the correlations of 16S rRNA methylase genes with anminoglycoside resistnace.

Methods: Seventy-four ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriacea stains were isolated from urinary tract infections. Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 5 aminoglycosides against the ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriacea were detected by two-fold agar dilution method.

A randomized, controlled, clinical study of thymosin alpha-1 versus interferon-alpha in [corrected] patients with chronic hepatitis B lacking HBeAg in China [corrected].

Background: This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of thymosin-alphal (T-alpha1) with that of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in patients with chronic hepatitis B who were positive for hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and hepatitis B envelope antibody (anti-HBe).

Methods: Fifty-six patients were randomly divided into groups A and B. Both groups were comparable (p > 0.
