| Impact of acetic acid chromoendoscopy on detection of serrated lesions in the proximal colon compared with white-light endoscopy.
HD-WLE with sequential application of 2% acetic acid chromoendoscopy was associated with higher proximal SL detection compared with HD-WLE alone. Hypertension was the only risk factor significantly associated with proximal SL detection, within the context of a sequential examination design. |
| Music in complex endoscopy: Effect of functional music on sedation requirements during endoscopic ultrasound and ERCP.
Functional music during complex endoscopic procedures did not reduce propofol consumption but significantly improved satisfaction for both patients and staff. The findings justify implementation of music as a non-pharmacological adjunct to improve patient comfort in endoscopic suites. |
| Octreotide for prevention of delayed bleeding after endoscopic mucosal resection for large superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors.
In this exploratory study, postprocedural intravenous octreotide appeared to be associated with a lower occurrence of DB after EMR for large SNADTs (≥ 30 mm). Larger, prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings. |
| Precision vs. cost: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided vs. conventional pancreatic cyst drainage in a resource-limited setting.
EUS-guided and conventional transgastric drainage demonstrate comparable safety and efficacy. In resource-limited settings, CTG remains a cost-effective option in appropriately selected patients. |
| Quantitative mechanical profiling of 12 ERCP guidewires: Toward evidence-based device selection.

| Through the scope, not the ceiling: Gender distribution among endoscopy sessions at the German Visceral Medicine Congress.
In 2019, the German Society of Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases Board introduced a parity resolution concerning gender balance among congress session chairs. Since then, notable progress towards achieving gender parity has been made, with a positive trend being indicative of effectiveness of current DEI measures. Nevertheless, there remains a significant lack of adequate female representation in endoscopy sessions, particularly among central congress formats and among speakers. To address this imbalance, further measures such as binding quotas, institutional support, and targeted diversity-oriented congress planning are necessary. |

| <i>Bifidobacterium catenulatum</i> boosts anti-PD-1 efficacy in microsatellite stable colorectal cancer via activating CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells.
Design The abundance of bacteria in CRC patients was evaluated in our in-house cohorts and validated in published datasets. The effect of candidate bacterium with anti-PD-1 therapy was determined in two syngeneic mouse models of MC38 (microsatellite instability-high) and CT26 (microsatellite stable, MSS), transgenic is a potential adjuvant to improve immunotherapy against CRC. |
| <i>Tff2</i> marks gastric corpus progenitors that give rise to pyloric metaplasia/SPEM following injury.
Tff2 + corpus progenitors represent a common cellular origin for SPEM and gastric dysplasia, challenge the conventional stepwise model of gastric carcinogenesis and indicate divergent differentiation programmes from Tff2 + progenitors. |
| CD16<sup>+</sup> γδ T cells mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and associate with viral control in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
CD16 + γδ T cells mediate antibody-dependent antiviral immunity in HBV infection. Their inverse association with HBcrAg links γδ T cell-mediated ADCC to viral control and highlights this pathway as a target for HBV cure strategies. |
| Quantifying artificial sweeteners and emulsifiers in Crohn's disease and its relationship with disease activity: the ENIGMA study - a novel and targeted approach.
This is the first human study to demonstrate distinct P-80 metabolism in patients with CD compared with controls. Dietary sweeteners and P-80 metabolites showed significant correlations with disease activity, suggesting their potential utility as non-invasive biomarkers for CD activity assessment. |
| RNA binding protein CAPRIN1 suppresses STAT1 translation and interferon signalling to promote HBV replication.
CAPRIN1 is elevated in IFN non-responders and further upregulated during HBV infection/replication. By facilitating stress granule formation and stabilising STAT1 rG4 structure, CAPRIN1 blocks ribosomal scanning and suppresses STAT1 translation. We therefore designate CAPRIN1 as a critical rheostat that calibrates the amplitude of IFN responses during innate immunity and adjuvant IFN-α therapy. |
| Stromal biomarker-based framework for identifying pMMR/MSS and dMMR/MSI colorectal cancers with poor outcomes and limited benefit from immunotherapy.
CTHRC1-expressing CAFs represent clinically relevant biomarkers that link molecular profiling with diagnostic pathology. Our findings support the potential incorporation of CTHRC1(+) CAF assessment into routine histopathological workflows, pending prospective validation, and suggest a framework for stroma-informed CRC stratification, particularly in patients with stroma-rich, treatment-resistant tumours and pMMR/MSS with limited therapeutic options. |
| Targeting PKM2-dependent glycolysis reprogrammes monocytes into Cadm1<sup>+</sup> macrophages to promote mucosal repair and attenuate colitis progression.
Therapeutic targeting of PKM2-dependent glycolysis in macrophages enhanced Cadm1 + macrophage-mediated mucosal healing without driving tumourigenesis. |
| Tryptophan depletion generates hyper-reactive portal neutrophils in alcoholic liver disease.
Our findings identify portal tryptophan as a local regulator of neutrophil activation in ACLD. The link between low tryptophan levels and heightened neutrophil reactivity, especially in ALD, underscores the role of the gut-liver metabolic crosstalk in immune modulation and highlights a potential therapeutic target for mitigating neutrophil-driven liver injury. |

| 144 Weeks of bulevirtide monotherapy for chronic hepatitis D: Final and posttreatment results from a Phase 3 randomized trial.
Bulevirtide treatment for CHD for up to 144W was safe and effective. Response rates decreased after treatment discontinuation; however, some patients had sustained undetectable HDV RNA throughout 2 years of follow-up. (Funded by Gilead Sciences; MYR301 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03852719). Impact and implications Although bulevirtide is approved for treatment of chronic hepatitis D (CHD) in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Russian Federation, Australia, and Canada, treatment outcomes beyond 2 years and after bulevirtide discontinuation remain unknown. In this analysis, we demonstrate that efficacy was maintained with bulevirtide monotherapy for up to 144 weeks compared with that at 96 weeks, while rates of HDV RNA undetectability continued to improve with extended treatment duration. Virologic and biochemical responses decreased after treatment discontinuation, but some patients who were undetectable at EOT maintained HDV RNA undetectability posttreatment, with duration of continuous HDV RNA undetectability at EOT being the strongest predictor of non-relapse. While most patients benefit from continued bulevirtide therapy, a subset of those who achieve undetectable HDV RNA may be able to discontinue treatment without loss of response even in the absence of HBsAg loss. Clinical trial number NCT03852719. |
