| 1 | Successful outcomes of EMR-L with 3D-EUS for rectal carcinoids compared with historical controls显示文摘AIM: To assess the results of endoscopic mucosal re-section with a ligation device (EMR-L) combined with three dimensional endoscopic ultrasonography (3D-EUS) using an ultrasonic probe for rectal carcinoids. In addition, diagnosis of the depth and size of lesions by EUS was evaluated. METHODS: Between January 2003 and March 2007, 20 patients underwent EMR-L with 3D-EUS using an ultrasonic probe (group A). 3D-EUS was combined with EMR-L at the time of injection of sterile physiological saline into the submucosal layer. For comparison, 14 rectal carcinoids that had been treated by EMR-L with-out 3D-EUS between April 1998 and December 2002 were evaluated as historical controls (group B). EUS was conducted for all of the patients before treatment to evaluate tumor diameter and depth of invasion. The percentage of complete resection and the verti-cal resection margin were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The depth of invasion upon histopathologi-cal examination was in complete agreement with the pre-operative fi ndings by EUS. The tumor diameter de-termined by EUS approximated that found in the tissue samples. There were no signifi cant differences in the gender, tumor sites or tumor diameters between the two groups. The rate of complete resection for groups A and B was 100% and 71%, respectively (P < 0.05). The vertical resection margin of group A was longer than that of group B. CONCLUSION: EMR-L is effective as an endoscopictreatment for rectal carcinoids. In combination with 3D-EUS, safe and complete resection is further as-sured. | Tsuyoshi Abe Tadayoshi Kakemura Sumio Fujinuma Iruru Maetani | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008，14，25： | 7 |
| 2 | Efficacy of the revised Vienna Classification for diagnosing colorectal epithelial neoplasias显示文摘AIM:To prospectively investigate the effi cacy of the revised Vienna Classifi cation for diagnosing colorectal epithelial neoplastic lesions in cold biopsy specimens.METHODS:Patients were selected for inclusion if they had colorectal epithelial lesions that were not considered suitable for direct endoscopic resection.These included colorectal polyps ≥ 10 mm and lesions suspected of being carcinomas capable of invading the colorectal submucosa or beyond,including strictures,based on the cold biopsies obtained from each lesion prior to resection.We investigated the relationship between diagnoses based on cold biopsy samples using the revised Vienna Classification and resected specimens of the same lesions,and the therapeutic implications of diagnoses made using the revised Vienna Classification.The same cold biopsy specimens were also examined using the Japanese Group Classifi cation guidelines,and compared with the resected specimens of the same lesions for reference.RESULTS:A total of 179 lesions were identified.The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values of the revised Vienna Classification for distinguishing between intramucosal lesions and submucosal invasive carcinomas in cold biopsy specimens was 22.2%,100%,100%,and 71.4%,respectively,and for distinguishing between intramucosal lesions and those invading the submucosa or beyond was 59.7%,100%,100%,and 37.6%,respectively.The sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative predictive values of the Japanese Group Classification for distinguishing between intramucosal lesions and submucosal invasive carcinomas in cold biopsy specimens was 83.3%,91.4%,83.3%,and 91.4%,respectively,and for distinguishing between intramucosal lesions and those invading the submucosa or beyond was 95.1%,91.4%,97.9%,and 82.1%,respectively.A total of 137 of 144 carcinomas that had invaded the submucosa or beyond and three high-grade intraepithelial neoplasias were diagnosed as 'carcinoma' using the Japanese Group Classif ication system.CONCLUSION:The revised Vienna Classifi cation for cold biopsy specimens has high positive predictive value in the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma invasive to the submucosa or beyond. | Kenji Tominaga Sumio Fujinuma Takuro Endo Yoshihisa Saida Kei Takahashi Iruru Maetani | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009，15，19： | 5 |
