Molecular endoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has made the translation from preclinical studies to clinical trials. The so far performed in vivo studies, using fluorescent antibodies, have addressed areas of heightened clinical interest with unmet needs. These include the distribution of targeted therapies within the mucosa, which could elucidate the most fitting dosing for the individual patient, the mode of action of currently used treatments, and subsequently also the prediction of therapeutic response. Altogether, molecular endoscopy might enable us to base individualized therapeutic decisions on preceded in vivo molecular analysis to optimize treatment in IBD.

Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (Piezo1) is an evolutionarily conserved and multifunctional mechanosensitive ion channel protein that has emerged as a significant contributor to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Piezo1 plays a crucial role in regulating intestinal barrier integrity, immune responses, and the intestinal nervous system, thereby influencing disease progression. Its expression patterns correlate with disease severity and inflammatory markers in IBD patients, indicating its potential as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker.

Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (GSCC) or gastric adenosquamous carcinoma (GASC) is an uncommon histologic type for which no standard treatment has been established. The prognosis is poor, and there are few reports of effective treatment. Here, we experienced a case of GASC that was diagnosed preoperatively as GSCC and could be operated on after successful preoperative chemotherapy with pembrolizumab, 5-fluorouracil, and cisplatin.

Objective: Chlamydia trachomatis is a prevalent cause of infectious proctitis, often misdiagnosed as cancer or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to describe the main clinical symptoms, together with endoscopic and histopathological characteristics of Chlamydia trachomatis proctitis in the general population.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at a single institution, identifying all cases of proctitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, detected by real-time PCR in rectal biopsy or anal smear, with endoscopic assessment.
