Uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 prevents the progression of liver injury
CONCLUSION: UGT1A1 is upregulated as a compensatory response during liver injury, and interference with this upregulation process may worsen liver injury. UGT1A1 reduces ER stress, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism disorder, thereby mitigating hepatocyte apoptosis and necroptosis.PMID:38577195 | PMC:PMC10989491 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1189 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Genetic risk stratification of inflammatory bowel disease-associated venous thromboembolism: An Asian perspective
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1250-1252. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1250.ABSTRACTThe utilisation of polygenic scoring models may enhance the clinician's ability to risk stratify an inflammatory bowel disease patient's individual risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and guide the appropriate usage of VTE thromboprophylaxis, yet there is a need to validate such models in ethnically diverse populations.PMID:38577175 | PMC:PMC10989499 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1250 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Melanocortin 3,5 receptors immunohistochemical expression in colonic mucosa of inflammatory bowel disease patients: A matter of disease activity?
CONCLUSION: MC3R and MC5R are expressed in the colon of IBD patients. Furthermore, expression may differ according to disease endoscopic activity, with a higher degree of expression in the traits affected by disease activity in both CD and UC, suggesting a potential use of these receptors in IBD pharmacology.PMID:38577176 | PMC:PMC10989484 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1132 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Exploring non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: Current treatment optimization and future indication expansion
This article emphasizes the significance of evaluating ESD quality, not only for curative cases but also for non-curative ones. Postoperative assessment relies on the endoscopic curability (eCura) classification, but management strategies for eCuraC-1 tumour with a positive horizontal margin are unclear. Current research primarily focuses on comparing additional surgical procedures in high-risk patients, while studies specifically targeting eCuraC-1 patients are limited. Exploring management strategies and follow-up outcomes for such cases could provide valuable insights. Furthermore, the application of molecular imaging u...

Clinical manifestation, lifestyle, and treatment patterns of chronic erosive gastritis: A multicenter real-world study in China
CONCLUSION: CEG is a multifactorial disease which is common in Asian patients and has non-specific symptoms. Gastroscopy may play a major role in its detection and diagnosis. Treatment should be individualized based on symptom profile.PMID:38577179 | PMC:PMC10989489 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1108 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Impact of microplastics and nanoplastics on liver health: Current understanding and future research directions
This article summarizes recent works dedicated to understanding the impact of MPs/NPs on the liver-the largest digestive organ, which is one of the primary routes that MPs/NPs enter human bodies. The interrelated mechanisms including oxidative stress, hepatocyte energy re-distribution, cell death and autophagy, as well as immune responses and inflammation, were also featured. In addition, the disturbance of microbiome and gut-liver axis, and the association with clinical diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis were briefly discussed. Finally, we ...

Prediction, prevention and management of gastroesophageal reflux after per-oral endoscopic myotomy: An update
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 7;30(9):1096-1107. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i9.1096.ABSTRACTAchalasia cardia, the most prevalent primary esophageal motility disorder, is predominantly characterized by symptoms of dysphagia and regurgitation. The principal therapeutic approaches for achalasia encompass pneumatic dilatation (PD), Heller's myotomy, and the more recent per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM). POEM has been substantiated as a safe and efficacious modality for the management of achalasia. Although POEM demonstrates superior efficacy compared to PD and an efficacy parallel to Heller's myotomy, the incidence of gastroesoph...
