Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The prevalence and severity of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) are increasing. The incidence of alcohol-related cirrhosis has risen up to 2.5%. This study aimed to identify novel metabolite mechanisms involved in the development of ALD in patients. The use of gut microbiome-derived metabolites is increasing in targeted therapies. Identifying metabolic compounds is challenging due to the complex patterns that have long-term effects on ALD. We investigated the specific metabolite signatures in ALD patients. METHODS This study included 247 patients (heathy control, HC: n = 62, alcoholic fatty liver, AFL; n = 25, alcoholic hepatitis, AH; n = 80, and alcoholic cirrhosis, AC, n = 80) identified, and stool samples were collected. 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics were performed with MiSeq sequencer and liquid chromatography coupled to time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS), respectively. The untargeted metabolites in AFL, AH, and AC samples were evaluated by multivariate statistical analysis and metabolic pathotypic expression. Metabolic network classifiers were used to predict the pathway expression of the AFL, AH, and AC stages. RESULTS The relative abundance of Proteobacteria was increased and the abundance of Bacteroides was decreased in ALD samples (p = 0.001) compared with that in HC samples. Fusobacteria levels were higher in AH samples (p = 0.0001) than in HC samples. Untargeted metabolomics was applied to quantitatively screen 103 metabolites from each stool sample. Indole-3-propionic acid levels are significantly lower in AH and AC (vs. HC, p = 0.001). Indole-3-lactic acid (ILA: p = 0.04) levels were increased in AC samples. AC group showed an increase in indole-3-lactic acid (vs. HC, p = 0.040) level. Compared with that in HC samples, the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs: acetic acid, butyric acid, propionic acid, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid) and bile acids (lithocholic acids) were significantly decreased in AC. The pathways of linoleic acid metabolism, indole compounds, histidine metabolism, fatty acid degradation, and glutamate metabolism were closely associated with ALD metabolism. CONCLUSIONS This study identified that microbial metabolic dysbiosis is associated with ALD-related metabolic dysfunction. The SCFAs, bile acids, and indole compounds were depleted during ALD progression. CLINICAL TRIAL Clinicaltrials.gov, number NCT04339725.

Abstract
Background/Aims : Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker that has beneficial effects on acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux and peptic ulcer diseases. This study aimed to validate the effect of tegoprazan on endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)-induced artificial ulcers. Methods : Patients from 16 centers in Korea who underwent ESD for gastric neoplasia were enrolled. After ESD, pantoprazole was administered intravenously for 48 hours. The patients were randomly allocated to either the tegoprazan or esomeprazole group. Tegoprazan 50 mg or esomeprazole 40 mg were administered for 4 weeks, after which gastroscopic evaluation was performed. If the artificial ulcer had not healed, the same dose of tegoprazan or esomeprazole was administered for an additional 4 weeks, and a gastroscopic evaluation was performed. Results : One hundred sixty patients were enrolled in this study. The healing rates of artificial ulcers at 4 weeks were 30.3% (23/76) and 22.1% (15/68) in the tegoprazan and esomeprazole groups, respectively (p=0.006). At 8 weeks after ESD, the cumulative ulcer healing rates were 73.7% (56/76) and 77.9% (53/68) in the tegoprazan and esomeprazole groups, respectively (p=0.210). Delayed bleeding occurred in two patients in the tegoprazan group (2.6%) and in one patient in the esomeprazole group (1.5%). Other adverse events were negligible in both groups. Conclusions : Tegoprazan showed similar effects on post-ESD artificial ulcer healing in comparison with esomeprazole.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to its strong acid inhibition, potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) based regimens for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication are expected to offer clinical advantages over proton pump inhibitor (PPI) based regimens. This study aims to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of a 7-day and a 14-day P-CAB-based bismuth-containing quadruple regimen (PC-BMT) with those of a 14-day PPI-based bismuth-containing quadruple regimen (P-BMT) in patients with high clarithromycin resistance. METHODS This randomized multicenter controlled clinical trial will be performed at five teaching hospitals in Korea. Patients with H. pylori infection who are naive to treatment will be randomized into one of three regimens: 7-day or 14-day PC-BMT (tegoprazan 50 mg BID, bismuth subcitrate 300 mg QID, metronidazole 500 mg TID, and tetracycline 500 mg QID) or 14-day P-BMT. The eradication rate, treatment-related adverse events, and drug compliance will be evaluated and compared among the three groups. Antibiotic resistance testing by culture will be conducted during the trial, and these data will be used to interpret the results. A total of 366 patients will be randomized to receive 7-day PC-BMT (n = 122), 14-day PC-BMT (n = 122), or 14-day P-BMT (n = 122). The H. pylori eradication rates in the PC-BMT and P-BMT groups will be compared using intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses. DISCUSSION This study will demonstrate that the 7-day or 14-day PC-BMT is well tolerated and achieve similar eradication rates to those of 14-day P-BMT. Additionally, the 7-day PC-BMT will show fewer treatment-related adverse effects and higher drug compliance, owing to its reduced treatment duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our research group previously established a deep-learning-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) for real-time endoscopy-based detection and classification of gastric neoplasms. However, preneoplastic conditions, such as atrophy and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were not taken into account, and there is no established model that classifies all stages of gastric carcinogenesis. OBJECTIVE This study aims to build and validate a CDSS for real-time endoscopy for all stages of gastric carcinogenesis, including atrophy and IM. METHODS A total of 11,868 endoscopic images were used for training and internal testing. The primary outcomes were lesion classification accuracy (6 classes: advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer, dysplasia, atrophy, IM, and normal) and atrophy and IM lesion segmentation rates for the segmentation model. The following tests were carried out to validate the performance of lesion classification accuracy: (1) external testing using 1282 images from another institution and (2) evaluation of the classification accuracy of atrophy and IM in real-world procedures in a prospective manner. To estimate the clinical utility, 2 experienced endoscopists were invited to perform a blind test with the same data set. A CDSS was constructed by combining the established 6-class lesion classification model and the preneoplastic lesion segmentation model with the previously established lesion detection model. RESULTS The overall lesion classification accuracy (95% CI) was 90.3% (89%-91.6%) in the internal test. For the performance validation, the CDSS achieved 85.3% (83.4%-97.2%) overall accuracy. The per-class external test accuracies for atrophy and IM were 95.3% (92.6%-98%) and 89.3% (85.4%-93.2%), respectively. CDSS-assisted endoscopy showed an accuracy of 92.1% (88.8%-95.4%) for atrophy and 95.5% (92%-99%) for IM in the real-world application of 522 consecutive screening endoscopies. There was no significant difference in the overall accuracy between the invited endoscopists and established CDSS in the prospective real-clinic evaluation (P=.23). The CDSS demonstrated a segmentation rate of 93.4% (95% CI 92.4%-94.4%) for atrophy or IM lesion segmentation in the internal testing. CONCLUSIONS The CDSS achieved high performance in terms of computer-aided diagnosis of all stages of gastric carcinogenesis and demonstrated real-world application potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The recent surge in demand for screening endoscopy has led to an increased detection of gastric subepithelial tumors (SETs). According to current guideline, SETs less than 2 cm in size are recommended for periodic surveillance. In light of recent advancement in therapeutic endoscopy in resection of small SET, we analyzed the histopathological features and the effectiveness of endoscopic resection for these small SETs. METHODS Retrospectively study was performed on 74 patients who underwent endoscopic resection of gastric small (≤ 2 cm) upper gastrointestinal tract SETs. The outcomes including histopathology and en bloc resection were analyzed. RESULTS The mean SET size was 11.69 ± 5.11 mm. The mean procedure time was 81.26 ± 42.53 min. Of the 74 patients, 28 patients had leiomyomas, 26 had gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), 14 had ectopic pancreas, 4 had lipomas, and 2 had neuroendocrine tumors. Among those with GIST, two patients exhibited high-risk histology. All patients underwent successful and uneventful endoscopy. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic resection can be recommended even for the small gastric SETs. In our study, we found that SETs with a size of less than 2 cm have significant proportion of GISTs which harbor malignant transformation potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : Deep learning models have previously been established to predict the histopathology and invasion depth of gastric lesions using endoscopic images. This study aimed to establish and validate a deep learning-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) for the automated detection and classification (diagnosis and invasion depth prediction) of gastric neoplasms in real-time endoscopy. METHODS : The same 5017 endoscopic images that were employed to establish previous models were used for the training data. The primary outcomes were: (i) the lesion detection rate for the detection model, and (ii) the lesion classification accuracy for the classification model. For performance validation of the lesion detection model, 2524 real-time procedures were tested in a randomized pilot study. Consecutive patients were allocated either to CDSS-assisted or conventional screening endoscopy. The lesion detection rate was compared between the groups. For performance validation of the lesion classification model, a prospective multicenter external test was conducted using 3976 novel images from five institutions. RESULTS : The lesion detection rate was 95.6 % (internal test). On performance validation, CDSS-assisted endoscopy showed a higher lesion detection rate than conventional screening endoscopy, although statistically not significant (2.0 % vs. 1.3 %; P = 0.21) (randomized study). The lesion classification rate was 89.7 % in the four-class classification (advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer, dysplasia, and non-neoplastic) and 89.2 % in the invasion depth prediction (mucosa confined or submucosa invaded; internal test). On performance validation, the CDSS reached 81.5 % accuracy in the four-class classification and 86.4 % accuracy in the binary classification (prospective multicenter external test). CONCLUSIONS : The CDSS demonstrated its potential for real-life clinical application and high performance in terms of lesion detection and classification of detected lesions in the stomach.

Abstract
Background/Aims Efficacy of proton pump inhibitors is limited in patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD). The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole with sodium bicarbonate and esomeprazole alone. Methods This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, noninferiority comparative study. A total of 379 patients with NERD were randomly allocated to receive either EsoduoⓇ (esomeprazole 20 mg with sodium bicarbonate 800 mg) or NexiumⓇ (esomeprazole 20 mg) once daily for 4 weeks from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients had a history of heartburn for at least 2 days in the week before randomization as well as in the last 3 months and no esophageal mucosal breaks on endoscopy. The primary endpoint was a complete cure of heartburn at week 4. The secondary and exploratory endpoints as well as the safety profiles were compared in the groups at weeks 2 and 4. Results A total of 355 patients completed the study (180 in the EsoduoⓇ group and 175 in the NexiumⓇ group). The proportions of patients without heartburn in the entire 4th week of treatment were not different between the two groups (33.33% in the EsoduoⓇ group and 35% in the NexiumⓇ group, p=0.737). There were no significant differences in most of the secondary and exploratory endpoints as well as the safety profiles. Conclusions EsoduoⓇ is as effective and safe as NexiumⓇ for managing typical symptoms in patients with NERD (ClinicalTrial.gov identifier: NCT03928470).

Abstract
Background/Aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection is a widely used treatment for gastric epithelial neoplasms. Accurate delineation of the horizontal margins is necessary for the complete resection of gastric epithelial neoplasms. Recently, image-enhanced endoscopy has been used to evaluate horizontal margins of gastric epithelial neoplasms. The aim of this study was to investigate whether I-SCAN-optical enhancement (I-SCAN-OE) is superior to chromoendoscopy in evaluating the horizontal margin of gastric epithelial neoplasms. Methods This was a multicenter, prospective, and randomized trial. The participants were divided into two groups: I-SCAN-OE and chromoendoscopy. For both groups, we first evaluated the horizontal margins of early gastric cancer or high-grade dysplasia using white-light imaging, and then evaluated, the horizontal margins using I-SCAN-OE or chromoendoscopy. We devised a unique scoring method based on the pathological results obtained after endoscopic submucosal dissection to accurately evaluate the horizontal margins of gastric epithelial neoplasms. The delineation scores of both groups were compared, as were the ratios of positive/negative horizontal margins. Results In total, 124 patients were evaluated for gastric epithelial neoplasms, of whom 112 were enrolled in the study. A total of 112 patients participated in the study, and 56 were assigned to each group (1:1). There was no statistically significant difference in the delineation scores between the groups (chromoendoscopy, 7.80±1.94; I-SCAN-OE, 8.23±2.24; p=0.342). Conclusions I-SCAN-OE did not show superiority over chromoendoscopy in delineating horizontal margins of gastric epithelial neoplasms.

Abstract
Simple Summary Previous cohort studies using national claim data in Korea have shown conflicting results about the association between the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of gastric cancer. In this population-based cohort analysis using balanced operational definitions, proton pump inhibitor use was not associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (Hazard ratio: 1.30, 95% confidence interval: 0.75–2.27). Previous cohort studies with an inappropriate operational definition for the inclusion criteria of the study subjects or index dates could be the reason of conflicting results. Abstract Objectives: Previous cohort studies using national claim data in Korea have shown conflicting results about the association between the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of gastric cancer. This may be due to differences in the inclusion criteria or index dates of each study. This study aims to evaluate the association between PPI use and the risk of gastric cancer using balanced operational definitions. Design: A population-based cohort analysis was conducted using the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Subjects who used PPIs or histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) for more than 60 days after Helicobacter pylori eradication were included. The study subjects were those who had never used H2RAs (PPI users) and controls were those who had never used PPIs (H2RA users). For comparison, the index dates of previous studies were adopted and analyzed. The subjects were followed until the development of gastric cancer, death, or study end. Results: A total of 10,012 subjects were included after propensity score matching. During a median follow-up of 6.56 years, PPI was not associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer (Hazard ratio: 1.30, 95% confidence interval: 0.75–2.27). This was consistent if the cumulative daily dose was adjusted (90/120/180 days), or if the index date was changed to the first day of PPI prescription or the last day of Helicobacter pylori eradication. There was no significant difference in mortality between both groups. Conclusion: PPI use was not associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can provide a high en bloc resection rate and has been widely applied as curative treatment for early colorectal cancer (ECC). However, surgical treatment is occasionally required, and reports on the long-term prognosis of ESD are insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes of ECC removal by ESD, including local recurrence and metastasis. Methods This multicenter study was conducted retrospectively on 450 consecutive patients with ECC who were treated with ESD between November 2003 and December 2013. Clinical, pathological, and endoscopic data were collected to determine tumor depth, resection margin, lymphovascular invasion, and recurrence. Results The median follow-up period was 53.8 (12–138 months). The en bloc resection rate was 85.3% (384) and in intramucosal cancer being 84.1% and in superficial submucosal invasion (SM1) cancer being 89.8% (p = 0.158). The curative resection rate was 76.0% (n = 342), and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (77.3% vs. 71.4%, p = 0.231). The overall recurrence free survival rate (RFS) was 98.7% (444/450). In patients with curative resection, there was no statistically significant difference in RFS according to invasion depth (intramucosal: 99.3% vs. SM1: 97.1%, p = 0.248). Conclusions Patients with curatively resected ECC treated with ESD showed favorable long-term outcomes. Curatively resected SM1 cancer has a RFS similar to that of intramucosal cancer.

Abstract
Background: Establishment of an artificial intelligence model in gastrointestinal endoscopy has no standardized dataset. The optimal volume or class distribution of training datasets has not been evaluated. An artificial intelligence model was previously created by the authors to classify endoscopic images of colorectal polyps into four categories, including advanced colorectal cancer, early cancers/high-grade dysplasia, tubular adenoma, and nonneoplasm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the volume and distribution of training dataset classes in the development of deep-learning models for colorectal polyp histopathology prediction from endoscopic images. Methods: The same 3828 endoscopic images that were used to create earlier models were used. An additional 6838 images were used to find the optimal volume and class distribution for a deep-learning model. Various amounts of data volume and class distributions were tried to establish deep-learning models. The training of deep-learning models uniformly used no-code platform Neuro-T. Accuracy was the primary outcome on four-class prediction. Results: The highest internal-test classification accuracy in the original dataset, doubled dataset, and tripled dataset was commonly shown by doubling the proportion of data for fewer categories (2:2:1:1 for advanced colorectal cancer: early cancers/high-grade dysplasia: tubular adenoma: non-neoplasm). Doubling the proportion of data for fewer categories in the original dataset showed the highest accuracy (86.4%, 95% confidence interval: 85.0–97.8%) compared to that of the doubled or tripled dataset. The total required number of images in this performance was only 2418 images. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping confirmed that the part that the deep-learning model pays attention to coincides with the part that the endoscopist pays attention to. Conclusion: As a result of a data-volume-dependent performance plateau in the classification model of colonoscopy, a dataset that has been doubled or tripled is not always beneficial to training. Deep-learning models would be more accurate if the proportion of fewer category lesions was increased.

Abstract
Background: Suspicion of lesions and prediction of the histology of esophageal cancers or premalignant lesions in endoscopic images are not yet accurate. The local feature selection and optimization functions of the model enabled an accurate analysis of images in deep learning. Objectives: To establish a deep-learning model to diagnose esophageal cancers, precursor lesions, and non-neoplasms using endoscopic images. Additionally, a nationwide prospective multicenter performance verification was conducted to confirm the possibility of real-clinic application. Methods: A total of 5162 white-light endoscopic images were used for the training and internal test of the model classifying esophageal cancers, dysplasias, and non-neoplasms. A no-code deep-learning tool was used for the establishment of the deep-learning model. Prospective multicenter external tests using 836 novel images from five hospitals were conducted. The primary performance metric was the external-test accuracy. An attention map was generated and analyzed to gain the explainability. Results: The established model reached 95.6% (95% confidence interval: 94.2–97.0%) internal-test accuracy (precision: 78.0%, recall: 93.9%, F1 score: 85.2%). Regarding the external tests, the accuracy ranged from 90.0% to 95.8% (overall accuracy: 93.9%). There was no statistical difference in the number of correctly identified the region of interest for the external tests between the expert endoscopist and the established model using attention map analysis (P = 0.11). In terms of the dysplasia subgroup, the number of correctly identified regions of interest was higher in the deep-learning model than in the endoscopist group, although statistically insignificant (P = 0.48). Conclusions: We established a deep-learning model that accurately classifies esophageal cancers, precursor lesions, and non-neoplasms. This model confirmed the potential for generalizability through multicenter external tests and explainability through the attention map analysis.

Abstract
Background: Wireless capsule endoscopy allows the identification of small intestinal protruded lesions, such as polyps, tumors, or venous structures. However, reading wireless capsule endoscopy images or movies is time-consuming, and minute lesions are easy to miss. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has been applied to improve the efficacy of the reading process of wireless capsule endoscopy images or movies. However, there are no studies that systematically determine the performance of CAD models in diagnosing gastrointestinal protruded lesions. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CAD models for gastrointestinal protruded lesions using wireless capsule endoscopic images. Methods: Core databases were searched for studies based on CAD models for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal protruded lesions using wireless capsule endoscopy, and data on diagnostic performance were presented. A systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis were performed. Results: Twelve studies were included. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD models for the diagnosis of protruded lesions were 0.95 (95% confidence interval, 0.93–0.97), 0.89 (0.84–0.92), 0.91 (0.86–0.94), and 74 (43–126), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed robust results. Meta-regression found no source of heterogeneity. Publication bias was not detected. Conclusion: CAD models showed high performance for the optical diagnosis of gastrointestinal protruded lesions based on wireless capsule endoscopy.

Abstract
Background/Aims The prospective Crohn's Disease Clinical Network and Cohort study is a nationwide multicenter cohort study of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) in Korea, aiming to prospectively investigate the clinical features and long-term prognosis associated with CD. Methods Patients diagnosed with CD between January 2009 and September 2019 were prospectively enrolled. They were divided into two cohorts according to the year of diagnosis: cohort 1 (diagnosed between 2009 and 2011) versus cohort 2 (between 2012 and 2019). Results A total of 1,175 patients were included, and the median follow-up duration was 68 months (interquartile range, 39.0 to 91.0 months). The treatment-free durations for thiopurines (p<0.001) and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (p=0.018) of cohort 2 were shorter than those of cohort 1. Among 887 patients with B1 behavior at diagnosis, 149 patients (16.8%) progressed to either B2 or B3 behavior during follow-up. Early use of thiopurine was associated with a reduced risk of behavioral progression (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.50 to 0.90), and family history of inflammatory bowel disease was associated with an increased risk of behavioral progression (aHR, 2.29; 95% CI, 1.16 to 4.50). One hundred forty-one patients (12.0%) underwent intestinal resection, and the intestinal resection-free survival time was significantly longer in cohort 2 than in cohort 1 (p=0.003). The early use of thiopurines (aHR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.51) was independently associated with a reduced risk of intestinal resection. Conclusions The prognosis of CD in Korea appears to have improved over time, as evidenced by the decreasing intestinal resection rate. Early use of thiopurines was associated with an improved prognosis represented by a reduced risk of intestinal resection.

Abstract
Background/Aims Clarithromycin resistance is a main factor for treatment failure in the context of Helicobacterpylori infection. However, the treatment regimen for clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection has not yet been determined. We aimed to compare the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy versus 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy for clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection with genotypic resistance. Methods This was a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 782 patients with H. pylori infection examined using sequencing-based clarithromycin resistance point mutation tests were recruited between December 2018 and October 2020 in four institutions in Korea. Patients with significant point mutations (A2142G, A2142C, A2143G, A2143C, and A2144G) were randomly assigned to receive either 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy (n=102) or 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy (n=99). Results The overall genotypic clarithromycin resistance rate was 25.7% according to the sequencing method. The eradication rate of 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy was not significantly different in the intention-to-treat analysis (80.4% vs 69.7%, p=0.079), but was significantly higher than that of 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy in the per-protocol analysis (95.1% vs 76.4%, p=0.001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of side effects. In addition, the 14-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy was more cost-effective than the 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy. Conclusions Fourteen-day bismuth-based quadruple therapy showed comparable efficacy with 14-day metronidazole-intensified triple therapy, and it was more cost-effective in the context of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interpretation of capsule endoscopy images or movies is operator-dependent and time-consuming. As a result, computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has been applied to enhance the efficacy and accuracy of the review process. Two previous meta-analyses reported the diagnostic performance of CAD models for gastrointestinal ulcers or hemorrhage in capsule endoscopy. However, insufficient systematic reviews have been conducted, which cannot determine the real diagnostic validity of CAD models. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic test accuracy of CAD models for gastrointestinal ulcers or hemorrhage using wireless capsule endoscopic images. METHODS We conducted core databases searching for studies based on CAD models for the diagnosis of ulcers or hemorrhage using capsule endoscopy and presenting data on diagnostic performance. Systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS Overall, 39 studies were included. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD models for the diagnosis of ulcers (or erosions) were .97 (95% confidence interval, .95-.98), .93 (.89-.95), .92 (.89-.94), and 138 (79-243), respectively. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD models for the diagnosis of hemorrhage (or angioectasia) were .99 (.98-.99), .96 (.94-0.97), .97 (.95-.99), and 888 (343-2303), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed robust results. Meta-regression showed that published year, number of training images, and target disease (ulcers vs erosions, hemorrhage vs angioectasia) was found to be the source of heterogeneity. No publication bias was detected. CONCLUSIONS CAD models showed high performance for the optical diagnosis of gastrointestinal ulcer and hemorrhage in wireless capsule endoscopy.

Abstract
Background Most colorectal polyps are diminutive and benign, especially those in the rectosigmoid colon, and the resection of these polyps is not cost-effective. Advancements in image-enhanced endoscopy have improved the optical prediction of colorectal polyp histology. However, subjective interpretability and inter- and intraobserver variability prohibits widespread implementation. The number of studies on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is increasing; however, their small sample sizes limit statistical significance. Objective This review aims to evaluate the diagnostic test accuracy of CAD models in predicting the histology of diminutive colorectal polyps by using endoscopic images. Methods Core databases were searched for studies that were based on endoscopic imaging, used CAD models for the histologic diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps, and presented data on diagnostic performance. A systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis were performed. Results Overall, 13 studies were included. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD models for the diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps (adenomatous or neoplastic vs nonadenomatous or nonneoplastic) were 0.96 (95% CI 0.93-0.97), 0.93 (95% CI 0.91-0.95), 0.87 (95% CI 0.76-0.93), and 87 (95% CI 38-201), respectively. The meta-regression analysis showed no heterogeneity, and no publication bias was detected. Subgroup analyses showed robust results. The negative predictive value of CAD models for the diagnosis of adenomatous polyps in the rectosigmoid colon was 0.96 (95% CI 0.95-0.97), and this value exceeded the threshold of the diagnosis and leave strategy. Conclusions CAD models show potential for the optical histological diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps via the use of endoscopic images.

Abstract
Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) refers to bleeding that develops in the gastrointestinal tract proximal to the ligament of Treitz. NVUGIB is an important cause for visiting the hospital and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although European and Asian-Pacific guidelines have been published, there has been no previous guidelines regarding management of NVUGIB in Korea. Korea is a country with a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and patients have easy accessibility to receive endoscopy. Therefore, we believe that guidelines regarding management of NVUGIB are mandatory. The Korean Society of Gastroenterology reviewed recent evidence and recommends practical management guidelines on NVUGIB in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS : Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a curative treatment modality for early gastric neoplasms; however, ESD can be a time-consuming process. To overcome this pitfall, we developed the one-step knife (OSK) approach, which combines an endoscopic knife and injection needle on a single sheath. We aimed to evaluate whether this approach could reduce the ESD procedure time. METHODS This single-blinded randomized multicenter trial at four tertiary hospitals from June 2019 to June 2020 included patients aged 19 to 85 years undergoing ESD. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups (OSK or conventional knife [CK]). The injection time, total procedure time, resected specimen size, submucosal fluid amount, degree of device satisfaction, and adverse events were evaluated and compared between groups. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were analyzed (OSK: 25 patients and CK: 26 patients). No baseline differences were observed between groups, with the exception of a higher portion of males in the OSK group. The mean injection time was significantly reduced in the OSK group (39.0 seconds) compared to that in the CK group (87.5 seconds, p<0.001). A decrease of more than 10 minutes in the total procedure time (18.0 minutes vs 28.1 minutes, p=0.055) in the OSK group compared to the CK group was observed. Second-look esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed two delayed bleeding cases in the OSK group that were easily controlled by endoscopic hemostasis. CONCLUSIONS OSK reduced the injection time and showed a decrease in total procedure time compared with the CK approach. OSK can be a feasible tool for ESD, especially in difficult cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overlap between functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with more severe gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and lower quality of life. However, the gender differences in FD-IBS overlap remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the gender differences in patients with FD-IBS overlap. METHODS Controls and cases were prospectively enrolled from July 2019 to June 2020 at nine tertiary referral centers. The patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and their symptoms were evaluated using a questionnaire including GI symptom-related items and the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS). FD and IBS were diagnosed according to the Rome IV criteria, and the clinical characteristics of the FD-IBS overlap group were compared with those of the FD-only or IBS-only group. RESULTS Among 667 subjects (334 healthy controls, 168 with FD-only, 37 with IBS-only, 128 with FD-IBS overlap), the FD-IBS overlap group (19.2%) showed a higher rate of preference for dairy products, a higher rate of history of Helicobacter pylori eradication, and higher HADS scores than the non-overlap group (P < 0.05). In the FD-IBS overlap group, men complained of reflux symptom and loose/watery stools more than women (P < 0.05), whereas women showed more severe GI symptoms, especially epigastric pain/burning symptoms, and higher depression scores than men (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FD-IBS overlap patients are associated with severe upper GI symptoms and depression compared to non-overlap patients. Moreover, women with FD-IBS overlap experience more severe GI and depression symptoms than men.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diagnosis of esophageal cancer or precursor lesions by endoscopic imaging depends on endoscopist expertise and is inevitably subject to interobserver variability. Studies on computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) using deep learning or machine learning are on the increase. However, studies with small sample sizes are limited by inadequate statistical strength. Here, we used a meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) of CAD algorithms of esophageal cancers or neoplasms using endoscopic images. METHODS Core databases were searched for studies based on endoscopic imaging using CAD algorithms for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer or neoplasms and presenting data on diagnostic performance, and a systematic review and DTA meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS Overall, 21 and 19 studies were included in the systematic review and DTA meta-analysis, respectively. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD algorithms for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer or neoplasms in the image-based analysis were 0.97 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95-0.99), 0.94 (95% CI, 0.89-0.96), 0.88 (95% CI, 0.76-0.94), and 108 (95% CI, 43-273), respectively. Meta-regression showed no heterogeneity, and no publication bias was detected. The pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of CAD algorithms for the diagnosis of esophageal cancer invasion depth were 0.96 (95% CI, 0.86-0.99), 0.90 (95% CI, 0.88-0.92), 0.88 (95% CI, 0.83-0.91), and 138 (95% CI, 12-1569), respectively. CONCLUSIONS CAD algorithms showed high accuracy for the automatic endoscopic diagnosis of esophageal cancer and neoplasms. The limitation of a lack in performance in external validation and clinical applications should be overcome.

Abstract
Background/Aims Some cases of gastric low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) on forceps biopsy (FB) are diagnosed as gastric cancer (GC) after endoscopic resection (ER). This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of ER for gastric LGD and HGD on pretreatment FB and to identify the factors that predict pathologic upstaging to GC. Methods Patients who underwent ER for LGD and HGD on pretreatment FB from March 2005 to February 2018 in 14 hospitals in South Korea were enrolled, and the patients’ medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Results This study included 2,150 cases of LGD and 1,534 cases of HGD diagnosed by pretreatment FB. In total, 589 of 2,150 LGDs (27.4%) were diagnosed as GC after ER. Helicobacterpylori infection, smoking history, tumor location in the lower third of the stomach, tumor size >10 mm, depressed lesion, and ulceration significantly predicted GC. A total of 1,115 out of 1,534 HGDs (72.7%) were diagnosed with GC after ER. Previous history of GC, H. pylori infection, smoking history, tumor location in the lower third of the stomach, tumor size >10 mm, depressed lesion, and ulceration were significantly associated with GC. As the number of risk factors predicting GC increased in both LGD and HGD on pretreatment FB, the rate of upstaging to GC after ER increased. Conclusions A substantial proportion of LGDs and HGDs on pretreatment FB were diagnosed as GC after ER. Accurate ER procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection should be recommended in cases of LGD and HGD with factors predicting pathologic upstaging to GC.

Abstract
Background/Aims A new medical fiber-guided diode laser system (FDLS) is expected to offer high-precision cutting with simultaneous hemostasis. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using the 1,940-nm FDLS to perform endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal model.
Methods In this prospective animal pilot study, gastric and colorectal ESD using the FDLS was performed in ex vivo and in vivo porcine models. The completeness of en bloc resection, the procedure time, intraprocedural bleeding, histological injuries to the muscularis propria (MP) layer, and perforation were assessed.
Results The en bloc resection and perforation rates in the ex vivo study were 100% (10/10) and 10% (1/10), respectively; those in the in vivo study were 100% (4/4) and 0% for gastric ESD and 100% (4/4) and 25% (1/4) for rectal ESD, respectively. Deep MP layer injuries tended to occur more frequently in the rectal than in the gastric ESD cases, and no intraprocedural bleeding occurred in either group.
Conclusions The 1,940-nm FDLS was capable of yielding high en bloc resection rates without intraprocedural bleeding during gastric and colorectal ESD in animal models.

Abstract
Background/Aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the first-line treatment for superficial gastrointestinal neoplasms with negligible lymph node metastasis. It has evolved through improvements in expertise and equipment, increased understanding of indications and short- and long-term outcomes, and better management of complications. This study aimed to assess and characterize the most influential publications in ESD research.Materials and Methods: We searched the top 50 most cited articles using Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Google Scholar (GS) from the inception of these services to January 2019. The top 50 Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) articles based on online media mentions were also searched. Each article was evaluated for the number of citations, title, journal, and publication year.Results: The number of citations for the top 50 WoSCC articles on ESD ranged from 37 to 199; Endoscopy published the most articles (20%). Among the top 50 GS articles, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy published the most ESD articles (34%) and the most shared AAS articles (42.6%). PubMed Central article citations in WoSCC or GS showed significant correlation with those from each metric, unlike AAS. The words with the highest relevance scores were “submucosal tunnel dissection,” “guideline,” “novel submucosal gel,” “adhesive material,” “cell sheet,” “esophageal ulcer,” “hemospray,” and “endoscopic closure,” while the following words were influential: “meta-analysis,” “esophageal stricture,” “perforation,” “bleeding,” “fibrin glue,” “artificial ulcer,” “porcine model” and “esophageal squamous cell neoplasia,” excluding “ESD.”Conclusions: This study presents a detailed list of influential articles, journals, and topic words.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori plays a central role in the development of gastric cancer, and prediction of H pylori infection by visual inspection of the gastric mucosa is an important function of endoscopy. However, there are currently no established methods of optical diagnosis of H pylori infection using endoscopic images. Definitive diagnosis requires endoscopic biopsy. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly adopted in clinical practice, especially for image recognition and classification. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic test accuracy of AI for the prediction of H pylori infection using endoscopic images. METHODS Two independent evaluators searched core databases. The inclusion criteria included studies with endoscopic images of H pylori infection and with application of AI for the prediction of H pylori infection presenting diagnostic performance. Systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS Ultimately, 8 studies were identified. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve of AI for the prediction of H pylori infection were 0.87 (95% CI 0.72-0.94), 0.86 (95% CI 0.77-0.92), 40 (95% CI 15-112), and 0.92 (95% CI 0.90-0.94), respectively, in the 1719 patients (385 patients with H pylori infection vs 1334 controls). Meta-regression showed methodological quality and included the number of patients in each study for the purpose of heterogeneity. There was no evidence of publication bias. The accuracy of the AI algorithm reached 82% for discrimination between noninfected images and posteradication images. CONCLUSIONS An AI algorithm is a reliable tool for endoscopic diagnosis of H pylori infection. The limitations of lacking external validation performance and being conducted only in Asia should be overcome.

Abstract
Nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) refers to bleeding that develops in the gastrointestinal tract proximal to the ligament of Treitz. NVUGIB requires hospitalization and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although European and Asian-Pacific guidelines have been published, there have been no previous guidelines regarding management of NVUGIB in Korea. Korea has a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infections, and patients have easy accessibility to endoscopy. Therefore, we believe that guidelines regarding management of NVUGIB in Korea are essential. The Korean Society of Gastroenterology reviewed the recent evidence and recommends practical management guidelines on NVUGIB in Korea.

Abstract
AIM To compare the efficacy and safety between modified quadruple- and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy as first-line eradication regimen for Helicobacter pylori infection. METHODS This study was a multicenter, randomized-controlled, non-inferiority trial. Subjects endoscopically diagnosed with H. pylori infection were randomly allocated to receive modified quadruple- (rabeprazole 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 1 g bid, metronidazole 500 mg tid, bismuth subcitrate 300 mg qid [elemental bismuth 480 mg]; PAMB) or bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (rabeprazole 20 mg bid, bismuth subcitrate 300 mg qid, metronidazole 500 mg tid, tetracycline 500 mg qid; PBMT) for 14 days. Rates of eradication success and adverse events were investigated. Antibiotic resistance was determined using the agar dilution and DNA sequencing of the clarithromycin resistance point mutations in the 23 S rRNA gene of H. pylori. RESULTS In total, 233 participants were randomized, 27 were lost to follow-up, and four violated the protocol. Both regimens showed an acceptable eradication rate in the intention-to-treat (PAMB: 87.2% vs. PBMT: 82.8%, P = .37), modified intention-to-treat (96.2% vs. 96%, P > .99), and per-protocol (96.2% vs. 96.9%, P > .99) analyses. Non-inferiority in the eradication success between PAMB and PBMT was confirmed. The amoxicillin-, metronidazole-, tetracycline-, clarithromycin-, and levofloxacin-resistance rates were 8.3, 40, 9.4, 23.5, and 42.2%, respectively. Antimicrobial resistance did not significantly affect the efficacy of either therapy. Overall compliance was 98.1%. Adverse events were not significantly different between the two therapies. CONCLUSION Modified quadruple therapy comprising rabeprazole, amoxicillin, metronidazole, and bismuth is an effective first-line treatment for the H. pylori infection in regions with high clarithromycin and metronidazole resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tegoprazan is a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker for the treatment of acid-related disorders. AIMS To assess whether tegoprazan is non-inferior to lansoprazole in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with gastric ulcers. METHODS In this phase 3, double-blind, active control, multicentre study, 306 gastric ulcer patients were randomised to one of three treatment groups: tegoprazan 50 mg, tegoprazan 100 mg and lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 or 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was the cumulative proportion of patients with healed ulcers confirmed by endoscopy up to 8 weeks from treatment initiation. Symptoms and safety were assessed. RESULTS In the full analysis set, the cumulative healing rates at week 8 were 94.8% (91/96) for the tegoprazan 50 mg, 95.0% (94/99) for the tegoprazan 100 mg and 95.7% (89/93) for the lansoprazole 30 mg groups. At week 4, the respective healing rates were 90.6% (87/96), 91.9% (91/99), and 89.2% (83/93). In per protocol analysis, 4-week healing rates were 95.4% (84/88), 94.6% (88/93) and 92.9% (79/85) for tegoprazan 50 mg, tegoprazan 100 mg and lansoprazole 30 mg, respectively. Both doses of tegoprazan were non-inferior to lansoprazole in ulcer healing at 4 and 8 weeks. The incidence of drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events did not differ among groups. The increase in serum gastrin concentration was not higher in tegoprazan-treated patients than in lansoprazole-treated patients. CONCLUSIONS Tegoprazan 50 or 100 mg were not inferior to lansoprazole 30 mg once daily in the treatment of gastric ulcers.

Abstract
Background Korea Red Ginseng (KRG) has been used as remedies with hepato-protective effects in liver-related condition. Microbiota related gut-liver axis plays key roles in the pathogenesis of chronic liver disease. We evaluated the effect of KRG on gut-liver axis in patients with nonalcoholic statohepatitis by the modulation of gut-microbiota. Methods A total of 94 patients (KRG: 45 and placebo: 49) were prospectively randomized to receive KRG (2,000 mg/day, ginsenoside Rg1+Rb1+Rg3 4.5mg/g) or placebo during 30 days. Liver function test, cytokeraton 18, and fatigue score were measured. Gut microbiota was analyzed by MiSeq systems based on 16S rRNA genes. Results In KRG group, the mean levels (before vs. after) of aspartate aminotransferase (53 ± 19 vs. 45 ± 23 IU/L), alanine aminotransferase (75 ± 40 vs. 64 ± 39 IU/L) and fatigue score (33 ± 13 vs. 26 ± 13) were improved (p < 0.05). In placebo group, only fatigue score (34 ± 13 vs. 31 ± 15) was ameliorated (p < 0.05). The changes of phyla were not statistically significant on both groups. In KRG group, increased abundance of Lactobacillus was related with improved alanine aminotransferase level and increased abundance of Clostridium and Intestinibacter was associated with no improvement after KRG supplementation. In placebo group, increased abundance of Lachnospiraceae could be related with aggravation of liver enzyme (p < 0.05). Conclusion KRG effectively improved liver enzymes and fatigue score by modulating gut-microbiota in patients with fatty liver disease. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanism of improvement of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. ClnicalTrials.gov NCT03945123 (www.ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Many post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) risk factors, including pancreatic duct cannulation, have been identified; however, whether the number of repeated and unintentional wire placements (WPs) in the pancreatic duct during wire-guided cannulation affects PEP risk is unknown. We aimed to identify the effects of repeated WP in the pancreatic duct and other potential risk factors on PEP incidence. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 877 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We examined potential patient-related and procedure-related risk factors, and PEP incidence by univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Thirty-four patients (3.9%) had PEP. Univariable analysis revealed younger age, malignant common bile duct or ampulla of Vater stricture, two or more episodes of WPs in the pancreatic duct, and metal biliary stent as risk factors for PEP. Following multivariable analysis, two or more episodes of WPs in the pancreatic duct and metal biliary stent remained in the final model. PEP did not increase significantly in case of a one episode of WP (4.0%) compared with no episode of WP in the pancreatic duct (2.7%). However, patients with two episodes of WPs had 8.0% incidence and three or more episodes of WPs had 14.3%. CONCLUSIONS A WP in the pancreatic duct and a metal biliary stent were associated with increased PEP incidence in patients undergoing ERCP. As for the pancreatic duct wire cannulation, two or more WPs considerably increased PEP incidence. This suggests that preventive measures or alternative procedures might be considered in patients with such cases during and after ERCP.

Abstract
Background: Classification of colorectal neoplasms during colonoscopic examination is important to avoid unnecessary endoscopic biopsy or resection. This study aimed to develop and validate deep learning models that automatically classify colorectal lesions histologically on white-light colonoscopy images. Methods: White-light colonoscopy images of colorectal lesions exhibiting pathological results were collected and classified into seven categories: stages T1-4 colorectal cancer (CRC), high-grade dysplasia (HGD), tubular adenoma (TA), and non-neoplasms. The images were then re-classified into four categories including advanced CRC, early CRC/HGD, TA, and non-neoplasms. Two convolutional neural network models were trained, and the performances were evaluated in an internal test dataset and an external validation dataset. Results: In total, 3828 images were collected from 1339 patients. The mean accuracies of ResNet-152 model for the seven-category and four-category classification were 60.2% and 67.3% in the internal test dataset, and 74.7% and 79.2% in the external validation dataset, respectively, including 240 images. In the external validation, ResNet-152 outperformed two endoscopists for four-category classification, and showed a higher mean area under the curve (AUC) for detecting TA+ lesions (0.818) compared to the worst-performing endoscopist. The mean AUC for detecting HGD+ lesions reached 0.876 by Inception-ResNet-v2. Conclusions: A deep learning model presented promising performance in classifying colorectal lesions on white-light colonoscopy images; this model could help endoscopists build optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
This study evaluated the possibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer with papillary adenocarcinoma (EGC-PAC). PAC, an uncommon pathologic type of stomach cancer, is classified into differentiated-type histology. However, aggressive features, including a high rate of submucosal invasion, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and lymph node metastasis (LNM), have been reported in studies with surgical specimens. Treatment outcomes of ESD for EGC-PAC have not been precisely demonstrated. Core databases were sought for the following inclusion criteria: studies of endoscopic resection or surgery of EGC-PAC presenting the following therapeutic indicators; en bloc resection, complete resection, curative resection, recurrence, complications associated with procedures, LVI, or LNM that enabled an analysis of ESD possibility. Overall, 15 studies were included for systematic review. Frequent submucosal invasion and high LVI were noted in EGC-PAC. However, PAC was not significantly associated with LNM. Pooled en bloc resection, complete resection, and curative resection rates were 89.7% (95% confidence interval: 55.3%-98.4%), 85.3% (67.7%-94.2%), and 67% (43%-84.5%), respectively. No LNM was observed if EGC-PAC satisfied the curative resection criteria. ESD seems technically feasible, although a high LVI rate results in a lower rate of curative resection.

Abstract
Background/Aims Insufficient systematic reviews were conducted in the previous meta-analyses about the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with CKD. Methods A systematic review of studies that evaluated the prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with CKD compared to a control group was performed. Only studies with adult patients were included, and studies with renal transplant recipients or diabetic nephropathy patients were excluded. Random-effects model meta-analyses with sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were conducted to confirm the robustness of the main result. A meta-regression analysis was conducted to explore the influence of potential heterogeneity on the outcomes. The methodological quality of the included publications was evaluated using the Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Nonrandomized Studies. Publication bias was also assessed. Results In total, 47 studies were identified and analyzed. The total prevalence of H. pylori infection was 48.2% (1,968/4,084) in patients with CKD and 59.3% (4,097/6,908) in the control group. Pooled analysis showed a significantly lower prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with CKD (vs control group: odds ratio, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.52 to 0.79). Sensitivity analyses revealed consistent results, and meta-regression analysis showed no significant confounders. No publication bias was detected. Conclusions The results of this study suggest a lower prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Quality of life (QoL) has become an important issue after early gastric cancer (EGC) treatment. We aimed to compare the QoL of EGC survivors after ESD (n = 241) or laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (n = 241) without recurrence and to evaluate the QoL over the 5-year period after adjusting for various confounding factors related to QoL. QoL related to the gastric cancer subscale (GCS) was significantly higher in the ESD group than surgery group (p < 0.001). After adjusting for all possible confounding factors, survivors who underwent ESD still had higher QoL related to CSG than those who underwent surgery. On the analysis of interaction effects for all QoL subscales, higher QoL related to GCS of ESD group than those of surgery group has been kept over time (p = 0.983). Therefore, we concluded that EGC survivors who undergo ESD have significantly better QoL related to GCS over a 5-year period after treatment than those who undergo surgery. This may be a useful consideration when selecting treatment modalities for patients with EGC.

Abstract
Delta neutrophil index (DNI) is a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of various infectious or inflammatory conditions. However, data on optimal measurement time are scarce, and no studies have evaluated the potential role of the DNI as a prognostic biomarker of gastrointestinal diseases with diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis. Core databases were searched. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients who have gastrointestinal diseases and DNI measurements presenting diagnostic indices for predicting the prognosis, including severity, surgical outcomes, and mortality from gastrointestinal diseases. We identified twelve studies for the systematic review and ten studies for the quantitative analysis. Pooled area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio of DNI at the initial admission date were 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.78–0.85), 0.75 (0.52–0.89), 0.76 (0.63–0.86), and 10 (3–35), respectively. Meta-regression showed no reasons for heterogeneity and publication bias was not detected. Fagan’s nomogram indicated that the posterior probability of ‘poor prognosis’ was 76% if the test was positive, and ‘no poor prognosis’ was 25% if the test was negative. The DNI can be considered as a reliable initial measurement biomarker for predicting prognosis in patients with gastrointestinal diseases,

Abstract
Using data from the real world to solve clinical questions that cannot be answered using data from clinical trials is attracting more attention. Clinical outcomes for patients with esophageal cancer in a real-world setting might be different from data in randomized controlled trials. This study aimed to provide real world data on treatment and prognosis in Korean patients with esophageal cancer. This retrospective cancer cohort included newly diagnosed cases of esophageal cancer at 19 tertiary hospitals between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2017. Cancer staging was defined according to the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer criteria. We identified 6,354 patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer (mean age: 64.9 ± 9.0 years, 96.9% squamous cell carcinoma). The proportion of early esophageal cancer increased from 24.7% in 2005 to 37.2% in 2015 (p<0.001). Among all cases, surgery alone was 31.3%, followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) (27.0%), neoadjuvant therapy (12.4%), adjuvant therapy (11.1%), and endoscopic resection (5.8%). The 5-year overall survival rate was 45.7 ± 0.7%. Endoscopic resection provided similar median survival relative to surgery for stage Ia cases. Among stage II–III cases, definitive CCRT was associated with poorer survival than neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy, although there was no survival difference between neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy. Early esophageal cancer is gradually becoming more common and endoscopic resection provided similar long-term survival relative to surgery. Surgery with combined therapy provided better survival in locally advanced esophageal cancer, relative to definitive CCRT.

Abstract
Background/Aims: In serological tests for <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H. pylori</i>), an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (GENEDIA<sup>®</sup>) and a solid-phase, two-step chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (IMMULITE<sup>®</sup>), which are easy to perform, inexpensive, and widely available, are commonly used. However, local validation of the test performance of IMMULITE<sup>®</sup> is required. This study aimed to examine the performance of IMMULITE<sup>®</sup> in comparison with that of GENEDIA<sup>®</sup> in a Korean health checkup population.Materials and Methods: The sera of 300 subjects among those who underwent health checkup were analyzed using IMMULITE<sup>®</sup>, and results were compared with those of GENEDIA<sup>®</sup>. The two serological tests were compared for their ability to predict atrophic gastritis (AG) or intestinal metaplasia (IM) on endoscopy.Results: We found significant correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient=0.903, <i>P</i><0.0001) and an almost perfect agreement (Cohen’s Kappa coefficient=0.987, <i>P</i><0.0001) between the results of GENEDIA<sup>®</sup> and IMMULITE<sup>®</sup>. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) for AG using GENEDIA<sup>®</sup> and IMMULITE<sup>®</sup> were 0.590 and 0.604, respectively, and showed no statistically significant difference in predictive ability for AG (<i>Z</i>-statistics=-0.517, <i>P</i>=0.605). The AUC for IM by GENEDIA<sup>®</sup> and IMMULITE<sup>®</sup> were 0.578 and 0.593, respectively, with no statistically significant difference in predictive ability for IM between the two values (<i>Z</i>-statistics=-0.398, <i>P</i>=0.691).Conclusions: No statistically significant difference in diagnostic value for <i>H. pylori</i> infection was found between GENEDIA<sup>®</sup> and IMMULITE<sup>®</sup>.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Enzymatic analysis of aspartate/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) does not exactly represent the progression of liver fibrosis or inflammation. Immunoassay for AST (cytoplasmic [c] AST/mitochondrial [m] AST) and ALT (ALT1/ALT2) has been suggested as one alternatives for enzymatic analysis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of immunoassay in predicting liver fibrosis and inflammation. METHODS A total of 219 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) who underwent hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and liver biopsy before antiviral therapy were recruited. Serum samples were prepared from blood during HVPG. Results of biochemical parameters including enzymatic AST/ALT and immunological assays of cAST, mAST, ALT1, and ALT2 through sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) immunoassay with fluorescence labeled monoclonal antibodies were compared with the results of METAVIR stage of live fibrosis and the Knodell grade of inflammation. RESULTS METAVIR fibrosis stages were as follows: F0, six (3%); F1, 52 (24%); F2, 88 (40%); F3, 45 (20%); and F4, 28 patients (13%). Mean levels of AST and ALT were 121 ± 157 and 210 ± 279 IU/L, respectively. Mean HVPG score of all patients was 4.7 ± 2.5 mmHg. According to the stage of liver fibrosis, HVPG score (p < 0.001, r = 0.439) and ALT1 level (p < 0.001, r = 0.283) were significantly increased in all samples from patients with CHB. ALT (p < 0.001, r = 0.310), ALT1 (p < 0.001, r = 0.369), and AST (p < 0.001, r = 0.374) levels were positively correlated with Knodell grade of inflammation. CONCLUSION ALT1 measurement by utilizing sandwich ELISA immunoassay can be useful method for predicting inf lammation grade and fibrosis stage in patients with CHB.

Abstract
Background/Aims This nationwide, multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 10-day concomitant therapy (CT) and 10-day sequential therapy (ST) with 7-day clarithromycin-containing triple therapy (TT) as first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection in the Korean population. Methods Patients with H. pylori infection were assigned randomly to 7d-TT (lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily for 7 days), 10d-ST (lansoprazole 30 mg and amoxicillin 1 g twice daily for the first 5 days, followed by lansoprazole 30 mg, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for the remaining 5 days), or 10d-CT (lansoprazole 30 mg, amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 10 days). The primary endpoint was eradication rate by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses. Results A total of 1,141 patients were included. The 10d-CT protocol achieved a markedly higher eradication rate than the 7d-TT protocol in both the ITT (81.2% vs 63.9%) and PP analyses (90.6% vs 71.4%). The eradication rate of the 10d-ST protocol was superior to that of the 7d-TT protocol (76.3% vs 63.9%, ITT analysis; 85.0% vs 71.4%, PP analysis). No significant differences in adherence or serious side effects were found among the three treatment arms. Conclusions The 10d-CT and 10d-ST regimens were superior to the 7d-TT regimen as standard first-line treatment in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) criteria are histologically categorized by early gastric cancer (EGC) with differentiated- and undifferentiated-type histology. However, EGC is histologically heterogenous and there have been no separate criteria for EGC with mixed-type histology [EGC-MH; differentiated-type predominant EGC mixed with an undifferentiated component (EGC-MD) or undifferentiated-type predominant EGC mixed with a differentiated component (EGC-MU)]. Moreover, therapeutic outcomes of ESD for EGC-MH have not been clearly described. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of ESD for EGC-MH. METHODS We searched core databases for specific inclusion factors: patients with EGC-MH, intervention of ESD, and at least one of the following outcomes: rate of en bloc, complete, curative resection, recurrence, procedure-related adverse event, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), or lymph node metastasis (LNM) that enabled evaluation of feasibility of ESD. RESULTS A total of eight (systematic review) and four studies (meta-analysis) were included. There was no robustness in age, location, or morphology of EGC-MH. Moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma was frequent in pre-ESD biopsy. EGC-MH showed larger size, deeper invasion, and higher rates of LVI/LNM than pure-type EGC. Total en bloc, complete resection, and curative resection rates were 94.6% (95% confidence interval 86.6-97.9%), 77.8% (57.9-89.9%), and 55.1% (50.4-59.6%), respectively. There was no LNM or extra-gastric recurrence after ESD if the EGC-MD met the curative resection criteria. However, the EGC-MD itself was a risk factor for non-curative resection. (Margin positivity was the most common reason.) CONCLUSIONS: Although ESD seems to be technically feasible, inaccurate prediction of lateral or vertical margin leads to lower curative resection rate. Application of more strict indication is needed for EGC-MH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Visual inspection, lesion detection, and differentiation between malignant and benign features are key aspects of an endoscopist's role. The use of machine learning for the recognition and differentiation of images has been increasingly adopted in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish convolutional neural network (CNN) models to automatically classify gastric neoplasms based on endoscopic images. METHODS Endoscopic white-light images of pathologically confirmed gastric lesions were collected and classified into five categories: advanced gastric cancer, early gastric cancer, high grade dysplasia, low grade dysplasia, and non-neoplasm. Three pretrained CNN models were fine-tuned using a training dataset. The classifying performance of the models was evaluated using a test dataset and a prospective validation dataset. RESULTS A total of 5017 images were collected from 1269 patients, among which 812 images from 212 patients were used as the test dataset. An additional 200 images from 200 patients were collected and used for prospective validation. For the five-category classification, the weighted average accuracy of the Inception-Resnet-v2 model reached 84.6 %. The mean area under the curve (AUC) of the model for differentiating gastric cancer and neoplasm was 0.877 and 0.927, respectively. In prospective validation, the Inception-Resnet-v2 model showed lower performance compared with the endoscopist with the best performance (five-category accuracy 76.4 % vs. 87.6 %; cancer 76.0 % vs. 97.5 %; neoplasm 73.5 % vs. 96.5 %; P < 0.001). However, there was no statistical difference between the Inception-Resnet-v2 model and the endoscopist with the worst performance in the differentiation of gastric cancer (accuracy 76.0 % vs. 82.0 %) and neoplasm (AUC 0.776 vs. 0.865). CONCLUSION The evaluated deep-learning models have the potential for clinical application in classifying gastric cancer or neoplasm on endoscopic white-light images.

Abstract
Background/Aims Frequent bleeding after endoscopic resection (ER) has been reported in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to evaluate the association and clinical significance of bleeding with ER in ESRD patients on dialysis.
Methods Between February 2008 and December 2018, 7,571 patients, including 47 ESRD patients on dialysis who underwent ER for gastric neoplasia, were enrolled. A total of 47 ESRD patients on dialysis were propensity score-matched 1:10 to 470 non-ESRD patients, to adjust for between-group differences in variables such as age, sex, comorbidities, anticoagulation use, tumor characteristics, and ER method. Matching was performed using an optimal matching algorithm. For the matched data, clustered comparisons were performed using the generalized estimating equation method. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Frequency and outcomes of post-ER bleeding were evaluated.
Results Bleeding was more frequent in the ESRD with dialysis group than in the non-ESRD group. ESRD with dialysis conferred a significant risk of post-ER bleeding (odds ratio, 6.1; 95% confidence interval, 2.7–13.6; p<0.0001). All post-ER bleeding events were controlled using endoscopic hemostasis except in 1 non-ESRD case that needed surgery.
Conclusions ESRD with dialysis confers a bleeding risk after ER. However, all bleeding events could be managed endoscopically without sequelae. Concern about bleeding should not stop endoscopists from performing ER in ESRD patients on dialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Helicobacter pylori eradication rate has decreased with increasing antibiotic resistance. We conducted a prospective, nationwide, multicenter registry study to monitor the real status of H. pylori eradication therapy and to investigate the association between eradication success and antibiotic use density in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 9318 patients undergoing H. pylori eradication therapy from 37 hospitals through "on-line database registry" from October 2010 to July 2015. Demographic data, detection methods, treatment indications, regimens, durations, compliance, adverse events, and eradication results were collected. The use of all commercially available eradication antibiotics was analyzed through the Korean National Health Insurance data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. The defined daily dose of antibiotics was used to standardize drug use comparisons. RESULTS Finally, 6738 patients were analyzed. The overall eradication rate of first-line therapy was 71.8%. The eradication success rates were 71.7%, 86.9%, and 74.0% for standard triple therapy for 7 days, quadruple therapy, and concomitant therapy, respectively. The eradication success rate in naive patients was higher than that in those who previously underwent H. pylori eradication. Eradication success was significantly associated with younger age, female sex, and high compliance. Regional differences in eradication rates were observed. The yearly use density of clarithromycin increased statistically in seven regions across the country from 2010 to 2015. The yearly use density of amoxicillin in the Gyeongsang and Chungcheong areas was significantly increased (P < .01), whereas that of other macrolides was significantly lower in the Gyeonggi area than in other areas (P = .01). The overall use of eradication antibiotics has increased while the eradication rate steadily decreased for 5 years. However, there was no significant correlation between antibiotic use density and eradication. CONCLUSION There was no relationship between the eradication rate and antibiotic use density in Korea.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The number of articles that researchers must be familiar with is increasing, along with the importance of selective searching and summarization. This study aimed to assess and characterize the most influential articles in Helicobacter pylori research. METHODS We performed a search of the top-100 cited articles using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and Google Scholar from their inception to 2018. The top-100 Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) articles based on online media mentions were also searched using the term H pylori. Each article was evaluated for the following characteristics: citation number, title, journal, publication year, and authorship. RESULTS The citation number for the top-100 WoSCC articles ranged from 44 to 367. Gut published the largest number of articles (11%). In the top-100 Google Scholar articles, Lancet had the largest number of articles (13%); however, among the top-1000 cited articles published after 2012, Helicobacter published the largest number (46%). The largest number of top-100 AAS articles was published by PLOS Pathogens (6%). PubMed Central articles' citations in WoSCC or Google Scholar showed significant correlation with those from each metric; however, AAS showed no correlation. The proportion of basic research was 36%-37% in top-cited articles; but, 52% in the top-100 AAS articles. No time trend in the number of publications or citations of basic/clinical research in the top-100 bibliometrics was found. "Meta-analysis/systematic review," "gastric cancer," "eradication," and "association" were the most influential title words. CONCLUSION This study presents a detailed list of top-100 articles, journals, authors, and topic title words.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The eradication rates for Helicobacter pylori have decreased in Korea although the prevalence of this bacterium has also decreased. Antibiotic resistance is likely to be a crucial factor in H. pylori eradication success, and we therefore mapped these resistance patterns nationwide in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five hundred and ninety adult subjects were prospectively enrolled from 2017 to 2018 from 15 centers across six geographic areas of Korea. A total of 580 biopsy tissues had been sampled from these patients during an upper endoscopy and were frozen at -80°C and delivered to a central laboratory. The agar dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin for each H. pylori isolate. RESULTS The culture success rate was 60.2% (349/580). Resistance rates against clarithromycin, metronidazole, amoxicillin, tetracycline, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin were 17.8%, 29.5%, 9.5%, 0%, 37.0%, and 37.0%, respectively. The geographic distribution of metronidazole and quinolone resistance was highly variable. Some subjects had multiple H. pylori strains in the antrum and body of the stomach and showed a heterogeneous resistance profile between these anatomic areas. The H. pylori multidrug resistance (MDR) rate was 25.2% (88/349) among amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline, and quinolone and 11.2% (39/349) among four of these major antibiotics except for quinolone. The Seoul and Chungcheong areas showed a relatively lower MDR rate. CONCLUSION The antibiotic resistance of H. pylori differs by drug and geographic area in Korea. Detailed nationwide antibiotic resistance mapping is needed to develop an effective H. pylori eradication strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delta neutrophil index (DNI) is the ratio of the number of immature granulocytes and the total neutrophil count in peripheral circulation. DNI precedes changes in white blood cell or neutrophil counts due to the course of granular leukocyte differentiation in infectious and inflammatory conditions, beginning with immature granulocyte formation. The role of DNI as a biomarker of various infectious or inflammatory conditions has been reported. However, no studies explored the potential role of DNI as an initial biomarker for predicting disease severity, surgical outcomes, and mortality rates of gastrointestinal diseases with pooled diagnostic test accuracy. This study aims to provide evidence that DNI is a predictor of disease severity, surgical outcomes, and mortality rates in patients with gastrointestinal diseases in emergency medical departments. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library will be searched using common keywords (inception to July 2019) by 2 independent evaluators. Inclusion criteria will be patients with gastrointestinal diseases, DNI measurements performed in the emergency department, indices of diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios) of DNI for predicting severity, surgical outcomes, and mortality rate of gastrointestinal diseases. True and false positives and negatives will be calculated based on the diagnostic indices of each study. All types of study designs with full-text literature written in English will be included. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool. Descriptive data synthesis will be conducted and quantitative synthesis (bivariate and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic model) will be performed if the included studies are sufficiently homogenous. Meta-regression, sensitivity analysis, publication bias, and Fagan nomogram will be analyzed and described. RESULTS The pooled synthesis of the diagnostic performance of various gastrointestinal diseases with different cut-off values for DNI may limit the interpretation of uniform diagnostic validity. The authors will contact the corresponding authors for the missing values, requesting the original data in each study. However, if there are no responses from these authors, these studies will be excluded. CONCLUSION This study will provide diagnostic validity of DNI as an initial marker for the prediction of severity, surgery, and mortality of gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes extra-gastrointestinal as well as gastric diseases. This analytical cross-sectional study was performed to investigate the association between H. pylori infection and metabolic syndrome in a Korean population. METHODS Anthropometric and metabolic data, as well as anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies, were measured in 21,106 subjects who participated in a health checkup between January 2016 and June 2017. The classification of metabolic syndrome followed the revised National Cholesterol Education Program criteria. RESULTS After excluding subjects with a history of H. pylori eradication therapy, or gastric symptoms, the seropositivity of H. pylori was 43.2% in 15,195 subjects. H. pylori-positive participants had significantly higher body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) than did seronegative participants (P < 0.05). After adjusting for confounders, high TC, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C were associated with H. pylori seropositivity. Finally, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in H. pylori-seropositive subjects than in negative ones (27.2% vs. 21.0%, P < 0.05), and H. pylori seropositivity increased the likelihood of metabolic syndrome (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09-1.31, P < 0.001) after adjusting for sex, age, BMI, smoking, residence, household income, and education level. However, the association between H. pylori seropositivity and metabolic syndrome disappeared in those ≥ 65 years old. CONCLUSIONS H. pylori infection plays an independent role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome in Koreans under 65 years old.
