AIMS: Sufficient visibility of the mucosa during upper endoscopy is crucial for successful diagnosis, especially for early neoplastic lesions. Data documenting the effect of administration of mucolytic solution prior to gastroscopy in order to improve mucosal visibility are limited in Europe. The aim of the study was to assess the score of mucosal visibility in the upper gastrointestinal tract after administration of the mucolytic solution defined by us. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This is a monocentric, double-blind, randomized study involving 134 patients indicated for diagnostic upper endoscopy. Patients were randomly assigned to one of three arms, with mucolytic solution (100 mL water + 400 mg N-acetylcysteine + 20 mg simethicone), without the solution , and with 100 mL pure water. During the examination, 11 photographs were taken in defined areas. The visibility score was given by the sum of the score 0-5 from 5 defined localities evaluated by a blinded endoscopist and subsequently by two blinded endoscopists. Other parameters monitored were examination time and a semiquantitative evaluation of residual gastric fluid. RESULTS: The basic characteristics of the group (sex, age, indications for examination) were comparable between arms. The visibility score was similar in all arms - 17.4 ± 1.9 vs. 17.0 ± 2.0 vs. 17.6 ± 1.8 (P=0.32). The examination time and the amount of residual fluid in the stomach were comparable in all arms. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of the mucolytic solution in our study did not increase the mucosal visibility score in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02967094.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate that an administration of mucolytic solution with a maximum dose of simethicone and n -acetylcysteine before upper endoscopy improves mucosal visibility compared to a group without administration of mucolytic solution or water. METHODS: This study was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Patients were randomized into four groups, with the administration of 100 ml of water + 600 mg n -acetylcysteine + 400 mg simethicone, 100 ml of water + 400 mg n -acetylcysteine + 20 mg simethicone, 100 ml of water, and without any water or mucolytic solution. During the examination, a total of 10 images were taken in the defined areas. The overall visibility score was given by the sum of the 0-5 scores of the five areas and was assessed by the endoscopist performing the procedure and the blinded endoscopists using static images. RESULTS: A total of 129 patients were randomized. The group of patients did not differ in age, sex distribution, and indications significantly. The overall visibility score as assessed by the endoscopist performing the procedure was significantly higher in the group with the maximum dose of mucolytic solution compared to the group without solution or water (18.9 ± 2.9 vs. 16.6 ± 3.3, P = 0.023). This difference was not evident by the blinded evaluation of static photographs. CONCLUSION: Administration of mucolytic solution with a maximum dose of n -acetylcysteine and simethicone before upper endoscopy improved mucosal visibility in the upper gastrointestinal tract compared with the group without any preparation while evaluated by performing endoscopist.

Neuroendokrinní nádory jsou pomalu rostoucí neoplazie, histologicky vycházející z enteroendokrinních buněk. Jedná se o nádory s různým stupněm diferenciace, nejisté bio­logické povahy a se schopností metastazovat. Nejčastější lokalizací je gastrointestinální trakt, přičemž zvláštní skupinou jsou neuroendokrinní nádory appendixu, na které se přichází náhodně po appendektomii. V kazuistice prezentujeme případ pacienta s neuroendokrinním nádorem appendixu dia­gnostikovaným koloskopií.

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain bio­logical nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix dia­gnosed by colonoscopy.

BACKGROUND: The management and prognosis of subepithelial tumors (SETs) of the upper gastrointestinal tract depend on the correct preoperative evaluation, including tissue diagnosis in selected cases. Several methods providing deep tissue sampling for cytological and/or histological examinations have been described but their diagnostic yield and precise position in the diagnostic algorithm remain to be established. This prospective randomized study aims to compare the Endosonography-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) to Key-Hole Biopsy (KHB) in cytological or histological diagnostics of upper gastrointestinal SETs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study was conducted in a single tertiary endoscopy center in Ostrava, Czech Republic between November 2010 and October 2015. Patients with endoscopically detected SETs of the upper gastrointestinal tract with a diameter ≥ 2 cm, were randomized to either the EUS-FNA with 22G needle, or to the Key Hole biopsy (forceps biopsy through mucosal incision) groups. The main study outcomes were success rate of tissue diagnostics and, in the cases of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST), possibility of determining mitotic activity. A cross-over examination was performed in situations where the first method had failed. RESULTS: A total of 46 consecutive patients were randomized. Of these, 24 (52%) and 22 (48%) were randomized to EUS-FNA group and KHB arm, respectively. 5 SETs (11%) were detected in the esophagus, 40 (87%) in the stomach and 1 (2%) in the duodenum. The definitive diagnosis was established by the first sampling method in 42 (91%) patients, including 22 (92%) in the EUS-FNA group and 20 (91%) in the KHB group (P=0.999), and after a cross-over in another 3 (7%) patients. The most prevalent SET was GIST (70%). Although some mitotic activity could be observed in 11 patients, the mitotic index could be diagnosed in none of them. Of a total of 20 surgically treated patients, preoperative and postoperative tissue diagnosis corresponded in 19/20 (95%) cases, including 100% in FNA group and 91% in KHB group (P=0.999). No adverse events of tissue sampling occurred in the study. CONCLUSIONS: Deep tissue sampling by EUS-FNA and KHB are equally effective in the diagnostics of SETs of the upper gastrointestinal tract ≥ 2 cm. However, neither EUS-FNA nor KHB provided adequate tissue sample to determine mitotic index. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02025244).

„Full-thickness“ resekce (FTR) je nová endoskopická technika umožňující resekci celého stěny tlustého střeva, která kombinuje aplikaci „over-the-scope“ klipu a následnou endoskopickou resekci pomocí průhledného nástavce („capu“). Dojde tak k cílené perforaci, která je vlastně uzavřena ještě před resekcí. Dle dosavadních limitovaných zkušeností je FTR možnou a bezpečnou alternativou endoskopické submukózní disekce a chirurgické resekce v léčbě lokální reziduální neoplazie, časných kolorektálních neoplazií s možnou submukózní invazí nebo fibrózou a drobných neuroendokrinních tumorů. Prezentujeme případ 56letého pacienta po nízké přední resekci rekta a s lokální reziduální neoplazií po endoskopické resekci ploché léze v hepatální flexuře. Léze byla odstraněna endoskopicky technikou FTR, histologicky byla potvrzena přítomnost kompletně resekovaného tubulárního adenomu s intraepiteliální neoplazií vysokého stupně. Po výkonu nebyly žádné známky komplikací a pacient byl po dvou dnech propuštěn do domácí péče.

Full-thickness resection (FTR) is a new endoscopic technique enabling transmural resection of the large intestine via a combination of over-the-scope clip application and cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection. In fact, there is an intended perforation closed by the clip before the resection. According to existing but limited evidence, FTR is a feasible and safe alternative to endoscopic submucosal dissection or surgical resection of local residual neoplasia, early colorectal neoplasia with suspected submucosal invasion/fibrosis, and neuroendocrine tumors. We present a case of a 56-year-old patient after low anterior resection for rectal carcinoma and with local residual neoplasia after endoscopic mucosal resection in the hepatic flexure. The lesion was resected using the endoscopic FTR technique. Histological examination confirmed a completely resected tubular adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. The patient was dismissed after two days without any complications.
