Filter by:The Zenker's or pharyngo-esophageal diverticulum is an acquired sac-like outpouching of the mucosa and submucosa layers located dorsally at the pharyngoesophageal junction through Killian's dehiscence. It is the most common type of oesophageal diverticula and typically occurs in middle-aged and elderly patients. Patients have a significantly reduced quality of life index and numerous complications. Treatment is recommended for symptomatic patients and considering the aetiopathogenesis of the disease demands myotomy of the cricopharyngeal muscle. Myotomy may be pursued through either open surgical or endoscopic techniques. There is a novel technique, called the peroral endoscopic myotomy (Z-POEM) for treatment of Zenker's diverticulum. The ZIPPY trial designed as prospective, international, multicenter, double-blind, randomized study which will be carried out by experienced endoscopists. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the results of Zenker's diverticulum treatment using peroral endoscopic myotomy and to compare its efficacy and safety to flexible endoscopy septotomy. Patients at least 18 years old with symptomatic Zenker's diverticulum diagnosed on the basis of endoscopic and radiological examinations will be enrolled.
This is a multi-centered, retrospective, observational study aimed at observing the current status of the management of gastrointestinal surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the changes on surgery protocols and other key aspects of surgical workflow, so as to share experience with colleagues both domestic and abroad.
This study plans to understand the prevalence and clinical characteristics of pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders in mainland China through multi-center investigation and clinical epidemiological analysis, to reveal the prevalence characteristics and related factors of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children of all ages in mainland China, to establish a diagnostic standard system for pediatric functional gastrointestinal disorders in mainland China, to provide evidence-based basis for the formulation of new Roman standard for functional gastrointestinal disorders, and to provide new ideas and treatment basis for the diagnosis and treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children.
cross sectional study to detect frequency of functional gastrointestinal disorders among schhol aged children complaining of recurrent abdominal pain
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency of writing endoscopic reports by artificial intelligence and physicians through a randomized controlled trial.
The oligosaccharide content (raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose) in legumes would be responsible for gastrointestinal symptoms (bloating, pain, meteorism), associated with its consumption. We would evaluate consumption of 3 varieties of chilean native beans, and evaluate gastrointestinal symptoms produced along with expired H2 test, to correlate this with the amount of oligosaccharide content.
This research plans to collect rectal cancer patients after sphincter-preserving surgery from 14 institutions in China mainland, observe the incidence and risk factors about bowel dysfunction after operation.
Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. However, the risk factors of PEP is not fully clear. Additionally, the complication of NSAID use lead to some serious physical problem bleeding. Therefore, the exclusive criteria for limiting the NSAID use is including allergy， gastrointestinal haemorrhage ，presence of coagulopathy or received anticoagulation therapy. Previous study showed that another natural compound, resveratrol, owns similar biological effect with NSAID. Firstly, it could inhibit the inflammatory response on in vivo model through inhibition of COX and IL-6 etc. Secondly, it could not influence the level of platelet and coagulation, which means safer than NSAID. Thirdly, numerous studies showed that resveratrol could effectively the progression of severe acute pancreatitis. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral resveratrol pre-ERCP is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.
