Project description:Early detection of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) intraepithelial neoplasia (IN), and gastric cancer are essential to improve patients’ outcomes. This study aims to compare the diagnostic yield of GIM, IN and early gastric cancer (EGC) by iScan combined probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) and iScan alone.

Project description:Currently, the Correa cascade is a widely accepted model of gastric carcinogenesis. Intestinal metaplasia is a high risk factor for gastric cancer. According to Sydney criteria, mild intestinal metaplasia was not associated with gastric cancer, while moderate to severe intestinal metaplasia was strongly associated with the development of gastric cancer. Because intestinal metaplasia is distributed in various forms, the use of white light endoscopy lacks specificity, and the consistency with histopathological diagnosis is poor; Pathological biopsy is still needed to make a diagnosis. At present, national guidelines suggest that OLGIM score should be used to evaluate the risk of gastric cancer, and patients with OLGIM grade III/IV should be monitored by close gastroscopy. However, it requires at least four biopsies, which is clinically infeasible. Confocal laser endomicroscopy allows real-time observation of living tissue, comparable to pathological findings.

Project description:Interventions: Both techniques (conventional colonoscopy and confocal endomicroscopy) are routinely used in clinical practice at the Department of Gastroenterology of our hospital. In this regard, patients participating in the study will not undergo additional (invasive) examination. As the duration of the chromoscopy-guided confocal endomicroscopy procedure is somewhat longer than the standard procedure, the patient-burden will possibly increase, mainly due to the ‘back-to-back’ evaluation. The potential advantage is the achievement of higher diagnostic accuracy of preneoplastic lesions in this high-risk population.
During confocal endomicroscopy fluorescein will be administred intravenously, to generate confocal images. This is a safe contrast-agent which has been previously used for the diagnosis of ophtalmologic diseases (e.g. corneal infections). Additionally, fluorescein has been already used in more than 1000 patients undergoing confocal endomicroscopy, without relevant adverse events. Allergic reactions, in particular nausea seldom occur. Also, transient yellow discoloration of urine and skin may occur.
The general risks associated to the colonoscopic procedure are detailed in the endoscopy-folder of the GI Endoscopy Unit of the University Hospital Maastricht.
Primary outcome(s): The primary outcome measure will be the number of patients with at least one adenoma after conventional colonoscopy compared with the number of patients with at least one adenoma after pan-chromoendoscopy.

Project description:During surgery, peritoneal metastasis is typically confirmed pathologically through resection sample. However, this process can be time-consuming when utilizing intro-operative frozen section pathology. To address this issue, we propose utilizing confocal laser endomicroscopy to provide in situ, real-time, and in-vivo diagnosis of suspected peritoneal nodules as cancer metastasis during surgery.

Project description:Confocal endomicroscopy is an emerging technique that allows in vivo imaging of cells and tissue structures of the gastrointestinal mucosa, with a magnification of about 1000 times, guiding optical biopsies in real time. Confocal endomicroscopy represents technique that combines conventional white light image with the confocal microscope probe, thereby allowing examination of the surface epithelium in vivo and histological diagnosis during endoscopy. Among the applications already established for its use, stand out diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus, gastric atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, celiac disease, differentiation of hyperplastic adenomatous polyps of the colon, microscopic colitis and follow-up of patients with inflammatory disease, reducing the need for endoscopic biopsies. The CLE can still detect molecular changes effectively improving the endoscopic diagnosis. This pilot project consists of 07 subprojects which the technology of confocal endomicroscopia will be evaluated and compared with the histological results of biopsy or surgical specimens:
1. confocal endomicroscopy for the diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia and superficial esophageal adenocarcinoma in patients with Barrett’s esophagus 2 Diagnosis of superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in patients with head and neck cancer by confocal endomicroscopy 3 Detect the presence of premalignant lesions in the gastric stump in patients with reflux alkaline gastritis after partial gastrectomy 4. detect lesions in the gastric mucosa of patients with familial history of gastric cancer 5 Biliary Strictures: differential diagnosis by confocal endomicroscopia 6 confocal Endomicroscopy of cystic neoplasms of the pancreas 7 Contribution of confocal endomicroscopy for the differential diagnosis of colorectal polyps The project aims to deploy the structure of the Confocal endomicroscopy Endoscopy ICESP, for performing in vivo histological examinations of the digestive tract, biliary tract and pancreas. All research groups involved in the early detection of tumors of the esophagus, stomach, biliary tract, pancreas, colon and rectum may benefit from the implementation of this methodology.

Project description:Fractional CO2 laser, as a typical ablative laser, has been used to assist in the treatment of many skin diseases, such as photoaging, atrophic scar, hypertrophic scar, superficial pigmentation, vitiligo, and so on. However, the dynamic changes in skin function after fractional CO2 laser treatment are still unclear. This study explored the changes in local skin function and possible regulatory mechanisms after fractional CO2 laser treatment for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days through transcriptome high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that fractional CO2 laser tended to transform the “lesions” into “normal skin”, regulate the skin barrier, coordinate the rearrangement of collagen, enhance the local microvascular circulation, activate the immune system to secrete a large number of cytokines, and act as an auxiliary tool to assist drug transport. According to the basic principle of destruction before reconstruction, fractional CO2 laser plays a key role of balancer in skin reconstruction. In conclusion, the gene expression profiles of fractional CO2 laser-treated skin undergo dynamic changes over time. Skin barrier, collagen arrangement, drug metabolism, immune system and skin defense system all present obvious characteristics of timing change after fractional CO2 laser treatment.
