RESUMO
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for duodenal accessory papilla.Methods:Data of 122 cases of duodenal accessory papilla diagnosed by EUS at the endoscopy center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 28, 2006 to February 28, 2018 were analyzed and summarized.Results:Of the 122 duodenal accessory papilla cases, the age was 52.1±12.9, with more males than females. The most common site of duodenal accessory papillae was the descending part above the papilla (88/122, 72.13%), followed by the junction of duodenal bulb and descending part (29/122, 23.77%), and a small proportion of lesions located in the duodenal bulb (5/122, 4.10%). Duodenal accessory papillae were all solitary, whose diameter mostly ranged 0.5-1.0 cm (88/122, 72.13%), a smaller proportion of diameter larger than 1.0 cm (23/122, 18.85%), and only a few with diameter less than 0.5 cm (11/122, 9.02%). Most duodenal accessory papillae were hypoechoic (71/122, 58.20%) or moderate to low echogenic (35/122, 28.68%), and the echoes were mostly homogeneous. The mucosa layer was smooth, with a sphincteroid structure in the submucosa and below. The boundary of the duodenal accessory papillae was mostly clear (121/122, 99.18%) and characteristic lacunar cavity structures were often seen in the center (83/122, 68.03%). The surrounding intestinal wall was normal and no associated enlarged lymph nodes were found around the intestine.Conclusion:EUS can clearly show the structure of duodenal accessory papilla and adjacent organs, and is of high value for the diagnosis of duodenal accessory papilla.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum anti-Saccharomyces cerevisias antibody (ASCA),anti-outer membrane porin C (anti-OmpC),antibody to Pseudomonas fluorescens-associated sequence I2 (anti-I2 )and antibody to bacterial flagellin (anti-CBirl )in the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods From 2011 to 2013,87 patients with IBD were enrolled and divided into Crohn′s disease (CD)group (66 cases)and ulcerative colitis (UC)group (21 cases).A total of 62 age and gender matched healthy individuals were enrolled as the control group. Fasting blood samples (2 mL)of the subjects were collected.The expression of ASCA,anti-OmpC,anti-I2 and anti-Cbirl antibodies was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)kits.The diagnosis value of each antibody in IBD and the differential diagnostic value of in UC and CD were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve.Results The area under the curve (AUC)of ASCA between IBD and the healthy control group,between CD group and UC group was 0.580 and 0.512, respectively;the accuracy in diagnosis was low.The AUC of anti-CBirl between IBD and the healthy control group was 0.617.There was no differential diagnosis significance of the other antibodies.The positive rate of ASCA in IBD group was 62.1 % (54/87),which was significantly higher than that in the control group (38.7%,24/62).The positive rates of anti-OmpC and anti-I2 in IBD group was significantly lower than those in the control group and the differences were statistically significant (both P 0.05).The specificity,sensitivity,positive predictive value (PPV)and negative predictive value (NPV)of ASCA in differential diagnosis of CD and UC was 52.4%,66.7%,81 .48% and 33.33%,respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of anti-OmpC,anti-I2 and anti-CBirl in differential diagnosis of CD and UC was 81 .0% to 100.0% and 9.1 % to 37.9%,respectively.The specificity,sensitivity,PPV and NPV of double-positive ASCA and anti-I2 in the diagnosis of CD was 57.1 %,86.4%,82.6% and 50.0%, respectively.The positive rate of ASCA and anti-I2 in CD group was significantly higher than that in UC group (84.8%(56/66)vs 57.1 % (12/21 );χ2 =5 .633,P =0.018 ).Conclusions Positive ASCA has some significance in the diagnosis of patients with IBD in our country.The detection of anti-I2 can help to diagnose ASCA negative CD.Because of low sensitivity and positive rate,anti-OmpC and anti-CBirl have limited value in the diagnosis of IBD and the differential diagnosis of UC and CD in our country.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the feasibility of inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2-mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation gene 1 (API2-MALT1) fusion gene detection in endoscopic biopsy tissue of primary gastric lymphoma (PGL), and to study the expression of this fusion gene in PGL and its clinical values in diagnosis and treatment of PGL.MethodsA total of 32 suspicious PGL patients underwent endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) examination and mucosal biopsy.The biopsy specimens were conducted histopathology examination, immunohistochemistry detection and real time RT-PCR for API2-MALT1 fusion gene expression.The expression of API2MALT1 fusion gene in clearly diagnosed PGL and its relation with PGL diagnosis, classification and treatment were analyzed and summarized.ResultsA total of 14 cases of 32 suspicious PGL patients were diagnosed as PGL by histopathology and immunohistochemistry examination, which including 11 cases of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and 3 cases of gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).There were 5 API2-MALT1 fusion gene positive cases, which were all MALT lymphoma, about 5 out of total 11 MALT lymphoma patients.API2-MALT1 fusion gene expression was negative in all 3 gastric DLBCL cases.The depth of lesion invasion and lymph nodes metastasis were more severe in API2-MALT1 fusion gene negative group than those of positive group.There were 2 of 5 API2-MALT1 fusion gene positive cases were Hp positive, and 5 of 9 negative cases were Hp positive.The anti-Hp therapy in 5 API2-MALT1 fusion gene positive cases was ineffective,however, chemotherapy was effective.In negative group, 2 of 5 Hp positive cases was complete remission and 4 Hp negative cases were ineffective with anti-Hp therapy.ConcltsionsAPI2-MALT1 fusion gene is common genetic abnormality in gastric MALT lymphoma.The detection of this fusion gene expression in endoscopic biopsy specimen by real time RT-PCR is clinically practical, and the detection of this fusion gene is valuable in the assessment of PGL diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for duodenal cysts.Methods Clinical manifestations, results of conventional gastroscopy and EUS, as well as follow-up, of patients with duodenal cysts were retrospectively analyzed.Results A total of 105 patients with duodenal cysts presented with no lesion-related symptoms, but displayed characteristic imaging changes under EUS, which could reveal the origin, size and nature of duodenal cysts, and differentiate it from other submucosal lesions.A maximum follow-up of 5 years showed no changes in duodenal cysts.Conclusion Duodenal cyst is a benign disease, and EUS plays a very important role in diagnosis of the disease.
