Circulating tumor cells detected using fluid ‐assisted separation technique in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
ConclusionsOur results suggest that CTCs detected using FAST could be helpful for early diagnosis of ESCC. Further large ‐scale prospective studies are warranted to validate our findings. (Source: Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Comparison of Endoscopic Ultrasound Tissue Acquisition Methods for Genomic Analysis of Pancreatic Cancer
ConclusionsEUS can reliably obtain sufficient tissue from PDAC for targeted genomic sequencing for prognostication and theranostics. FNB should be considered when tumor genotyping is requested, especially for tumors<3 cm or tumors located in the head/neck of the pancreas. (Source: Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Serrated Protein Acidic And Rich In Cysteine (SPARC) Gene Variants: Impact On Susceptibility & Survival Of HCC Patients
ConclusionsThe SPARC gene polymorphisms had a diverse impact on the susceptibility of HCC due to its ability to inhibit or promote tumor progression. SPARC gene polymorphisms were not related to survival of our HCC patients, probably this needs further analysis of other SPARC gene nucleotides. (Source: Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Significance of hypovascular lesions on dynamic computed tomography and/or gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid ‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
ConclusionsIt remains uncertain whether these hypovascular lesions should be resected together with the main tumors at the time of hepatectomy. (Source: Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Helicobacter pylori increases the risk of low ‐dose aspirin ulcers: A meta‐analysis
ConclusionThis analysis suggestsHelicobacter pylori increases the risk of LDA ulcers by almost 70% in a population where some were taking proton pump inhibitors and/or other acid suppressants. Without antisecretory drugs, the risk almost doubles. Clinically, these findings may support the use of a test ‐and‐treat approach toHelicobacter pylori in LDA users, particularly those at higher risk of developing for peptic ulcers.

Declining in liver stiffness cannot indicate fibrosis regression in patients with chronic hepatitis B: A 78 ‐week prospective study
ConclusionsIn CHB patients receiving 78 ‐week antiviral treatment, LSM could diagnosis different liver fibrosis stages, decrease in absolute LSM value could reflect the remission of liver inflammation, and baseline Ishak fibrosis score was the only predictor for 78‐week fibrosis reversion.

Effects of In ‐Hospital Exercise on Sarcopenia in Hepatoma Patients Who Underwent Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization
ConclusionsIn ‐hospital exercises increased muscle mass in HCC patients who underwent TACE. In addition, exercise was an independent factor for muscle hypertrophy. Thus, in‐hospital exercise may prevent sarcopenia in HCC patients who underwent TACE. (Source: Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Okuda Lecture: Challenges of Hepatitis B in the Era of Antiviral Therapy
AbstractNucleos(t) ide analogues (NA) are effective, safe, and convenient antiviral therapy to suppress replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can be translated into improved long ‐term outcome of chronic hepatitis B patients. The current recommended first‐line NA, namely entecavir and tenofovir, are largely free from problems of drug resistance. Nonetheless, there are still a few challenges in the era of NA. First, the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can only be r educed but not eliminated, particularly among cirrhotic patients. For cirrhotic patients who have persistent low level viremia on NA, i.e. par...
