Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS High-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy has been recommended to prevent rebleeding of high-risk peptic ulcer (PU) after hemostasis. Vonoprazan has been proven to be noninferior to PPIs in various acid-related diseases. This study aims to compare the efficacy of vonoprazan versus PPI for preventing high-risk PU rebleeding after hemostasis. METHODS A multicenter, randomized, noninferiority study was conducted in 6 centers. Pre-endoscopic and endoscopic therapy were performed according to standard protocol. After successful hemostasis, patients with high-risk PU bleeding (Forrest class Ia/Ib, IIa/IIb) were randomized into 1:1 to receive vonoprazan (20-mg BID for 3 days, then 20-mg OD for 28 days) or high-dose PPI (pantoprazole intravenous infusion 8 mg/hour for 3 days, then omeprazole 20-mg BID for 28 days). The primary outcome was a 30-day rebleeding rate. Secondary outcomes included 3-and 7-day rebleeding rate, all-cause and bleeding-related mortality, rate of rescue therapy, blood transfusion, length of hospital stay, and safety. RESULTS Of 194 patients, baseline characteristics, severity of bleeding, and stage of ulcers were comparable among the two groups. The 30-day rebleeding rate in vonoprazan and PPI groups were 7.1% (7/98) and 10.4% (10/96), respectively; noninferiority (within 10% margin) of vonoprazan to PPI was confirmed (%risk difference= -3.3; 95% confidence interval = -11.2, 4.7; P<0.001). The 3-day and 7-day rebleeding rates in vonoprazan group remained noninferior to PPI (P< 0.001 by Farrington and Manning test). All secondary outcomes were also comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION In patients with high-risk PU bleeding, the efficacy of vonoprazan in preventing 30-day rebleeding was noninferior to intravenous PPI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) is challenging due to the low diagnostic sensitivity of current methods. This study aimed to assess the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of ITB at our tertiary referral center, and to explore improved methods of ITB diagnosis. METHODS This retrospective study included 177 patients diagnosed with ITB at Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand) during 2009-2020. RESULTS The mean age was 49 years, 55.4% were male, and 42.9% were immunocompromised. Most diagnoses (108/177) were made via colonoscopy; 12 patients required more than one colonoscopy. Among those, the sensitivity of tissue acid-fast bacilli (AFB), presence of caseous necrosis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and culture was 40.7%, 13.9%, 25.7%, and 53.4%, respectively. Among patients with negative tissue histopathology, 4 (3.7%) and 13 (12.0%) were ITB positive on tissue PCR and culture, respectively. The overall sensitivity when all diagnostic methods were used was 63%. Seventy-six patients had stool tests for mycobacteria. The overall sensitivity of stool tests was 75.0%. However, when analyzing the 31 patients who underwent both endoscopy and stool testing, the sensitivity of stool testing when using tissue biopsy as a reference was 45.8%. Combining stool testing and tissue biopsy did not significantly increase the sensitivity compared to tissue biopsy alone (83.9% vs. 77.4%, respectively). CONCLUSION Despite the availability of PCR and culture for TB, the overall diagnostic sensitivity was found to be low. The sensitivity increased when the tests were used in combination. Repeated colonoscopy may be beneficial. Adding stool mycobacteria tests did not significantly increase the diagnostic yield if endoscopy was performed, but it could be beneficial if endoscopy is unfeasible.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most prevalent and bothersome functional gastrointestinal disorders worldwide, including in Thailand. After a decade of the first Thailand GERD guideline, physician and gastroenterologist encountered substantially increase of patients with GERD. Many of them are complicated case and refractory to standard treatment. Concurrently, the evolution of clinical characteristics as well as the progression of investigations and treatment have developed and changed tremendously. As a member of Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which are developing countries, we considered that the counterbalance between advancement and sufficient economy is essential in taking care of patients with GERD. We gather physicians from university hospitals, as well as internist and general practitioners who served in rural area, to make a consensus in this updated version of GERD guideline focusing in medical management of GERD. This clinical practice guideline was constructed adhering with standard procedure. We categorized the guideline in to four parts including definition, investigation, treatment, and long-term follow up. We anticipate that this guideline would improve physicians' proficiency and help direct readers to choose investigations and treatments in patients with GERD wisely. Moreover, we wish that this guideline would be applicable in countries with limited resources as well.

Abstract
The prevalence of Crohn disease (CD) is increasing in Asia, but data from Southeast Asian population are scarce.The databases of 2 university-based national tertiary referral centers located in Bangkok, Thailand, were retrospectively reviewed for adult patients diagnosed with CD during January 2000 to December 2017. Disease characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes were described and compared between the 2000 to 2009 cohort (cohort A) and the 2010 to 2017 cohort (cohort B).One hundred eighty-two patients (mean age: 46.4 years, 50% male) with 993 patient-years of follow-up were included. Thirteen percent had a history of intestinal resection, but were not diagnosed until disease recurrence. Another 6% were diagnosed at the time of first surgery. There was no improvement in diagnostic proficiency between cohorts. Mesalamine, corticosteroids, thiopurines, and biologics were prescribed in 75.8%, 81.3%, 84.6%, and 13.7% of patients, respectively (P > .05 between cohorts). Notably, thiopurines were started earlier in cohort B. Median time to the start of thiopurines was 6.2 and 1.65 months in cohort A and B, respectively (P < .01). However, the cumulative 5-year rates of disease behavior progression (P = .43), hospitalization (P = .14), and bowel surgery (P = .29) were not significantly different between cohorts. Subgroup analysis including only patients who required thiopurines showed the early use of thiopurines to be associated with lower risk of intestinal surgery after diagnosis (hazard ratio: 0.30, 95% confidence interval: 0.11-0.85).Early disease recognition and early introduction of immunomodulators may prevent long-term complications and reduce unnecessary surgery in CD.

Abstract
Background Gastrointestinal (GI) cytomegaloviral (CMV) infection is common among patients with immunocompromised status; however, data specific to GI-CMV infection in immunocompetent patients are comparatively limited. Methods This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with GI-CMV infection at Siriraj Hospital (Bangkok, Thailand) during 2008–2017. Baseline characteristics, presentations, comorbid conditions, endoscopic findings, treatments, and outcomes were compared between immunocompetent and immunocompromised. Results One hundred and seventy-three patients (56 immunocompetent, 117 immunocompromised) were included. Immunocompetent patients were significantly older than immunocompromised patients (73 vs. 48.6 years, p < 0.0001). Significantly more immunocompetent patients were in the ICU at the time of diagnosis (21.0% vs. 8.6%, p = 0.024). GI bleeding was the leading presentation in immunocompetent, while diarrhea and abdominal pain were more common in immunocompromised. Blood CMV viral load was negative in significantly more immunocompetent than immunocompromised (40.7% vs. 12.9%, p = 0.002). Ganciclovir was the main treatment in both groups. Significantly more immunocompetent than immunocompromised did not receive any specific therapy (25.5% vs. 4.4%, p ≤ 0.01). Six-month mortality was significantly higher among immunocompetent patients (39.0% vs. 22.0%, p = 0.047). Independent predictors of death were old age and inpatient or ICU clinical setting. Treatment with antiviral agents was the only independent protective factor. Conclusion GI-CMV infection was frequently observed among immunocompetent elderly patients with comorbidities or severe concomitant illnesses. GI bleeding was the most common presentation. Blood CMV viral load was not diagnostically helpful. Significantly higher mortality was observed in immunocompetent than in immunocompromised patients, but this could be due to more severe concomitant illnesses in the immunocompetent group.

Abstract
The authors report a case of cytomegalovirus colitis which is one of uncommon causes of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis. Our patient presented with recurrent episodes of massive hematochezia within 2 months. He had the underlying end-stage renal disease, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension and gout. Colonoscopy revealed multiple clean base ulcers at rectum and sigmoid colon. An active bleeding lesion was rectal ulcer with non bleeding visible vessel which was successfully treated with hemoclipping. The diagnosis of cytomegalovirus colitis was confirmed by pathology from colonic tissues which showed compatible patterns of cytopathic change. Human immunodeficiency virus serology was negative. He was treated with with ganciclovir intravenously for 1 week after the pathological finding was reported. To our knowledge, cytomegalovirus infection should be considered as causative pathogen of colitis and colonic ulcers in end-stage renal disease patients.
