After fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to treat Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), cognitive improvement is noticeable, suggesting an essential association between the gut microbiome and neural function. Although it known that linked with function, whether FMT may lead in patients neurodegenerative disorders remains be elucidated. We present case of a 90-year-old woman Alzheimer's dementia severe CDI who underwent FMT. Cognitive function testing (Mini-Mental State Examination,...
Background: The brain–gut axis has emerged as a potential target in neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia, individuals with dementia exhibit distinct gut microbiota compositions. Fecal transplantation (FMT), the transfer of fecal solution from healthy donor to patient, shown promise restoring homeostasis and cognitive enhancement. Objective: This study aimed explore effects FMT on specific performance measures Alzheimer’s (AD) patients investigate relationship between cognition by...

Background/Aims: Bacterial infection is accepted as a precipitating factor in cholesterol gallstone formation, and recent studies have revealed the presence of Helicobacter species hepatobiliary system.We utilized polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to establish bacterial DNA, including from species, gallstones, bile juice, gallbladder mucosa patients with gallstones.Methods: At cholecystectomy, 58 48 samples, 46 specimens were obtained subjected nested PCR using specific 16S rRNA primers H....
Background and Aims . There is no consensus so far regarding the optimal endoscopic method for treatment of small rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET). The aim this study was to compare efficacy, safety, procedure time between submucosal resection with band ligation (ESMR-L) dissection (ESD). Methods We conducted a prospective patients who visited Inha University Hospital NET (≦10 mm). Pathological complete rate, time, complications were evaluated. Results A total 77 treated by ESMR-L...
The gastroprotective effects of BST-104 (a water extract Lonicera japonica) and the mechanisms involved were investigated in murine models gastritis peptic ulcer. its active components evaluated rat HCl/ethanol-induced acetic acid-induced gastric After orally administering BST-104, chlorogenic acid, rebamipide (positive control), or vehicle to each animal model, lesion sizes, mucus statuses, proinflammatory cytokine levels, oxidative stress measured. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase,...
Abstract Background and study aims A new hemostatic adhesive powder (UI-EWD) was developed to reduce high rebleeding rates technical challenges associated with application of currently available powders. The aim the current assess performance UI-EWD for nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB). Patients methods total 56 consecutive patients that received monotherapy endoscopic hemostasis due NVUGIB were retrospectively reviewed. Main outcomes success immediate within 30 days....
Abstract Background Gastrointestinal tumor bleeding remains a clinical challenge because it is difficult to treat with conventional endoscopic hemostatic options. Recently, an powder (UI-EWD) was developed and reported provide effective control of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The aim current study evaluate the feasibility efficacy this novel in Methods A total 41 consecutive patients were included. UI-EWD applied all as auxiliary method salvage therapy or monotherapy during treatment....

Background Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Rebleeding rates following endoscopic treatment can reach up to 25% within 72 hours in patients with high-risk lesions. Objective To evaluate the efficacy haemostatic powder (Nexpowder) reducing rebleeding after conventional NVUGIB. Design This was prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled trial involving acute NVUGIB from lesions who achieved initial haemostasis....
Risk Factors for Long-term Outcomes after Initial Treatment in HepatolithiasisHepatobiliary complications, such as stone recurrence, recurrent cholangitis, liver abscess, secondary biliary cirrhosis, and cholangiocarcinoma may occur treatment hepatolithiasis.However, few previous studies have addressed the risk factors longterm outcomes initial treatment.Eighty-five patients with newly diagnosed hepatolithiasis, actively treated constituted cohort of this retrospective study.Patients were by...
In recent years, the incidence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NET)s has markedly increased due to widespread use screening colonoscopy. However, many patients are referred from local clinics after undergoing conventional endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for polyps without perceived NET, with a pathological report incomplete resection. We evaluated prognosis incompletely resected small NET additional less than 10 mm in diameter present within submucosal layer showing good prognosis, its...
Esophageal fibrovascular polyps are rare, benign, submucosal tumors of the upper digestive tract that usually have an indolent course until lesion attains a very large size. The most frequent complaints associated with these include dysphagia and foreign body sensation. However, long pedunculated polyp can regurgitate into pharynx or oral cavity cause asphyxia sudden death if larynx is occluded. We describe case 51-year-old man who experienced snoring occasional during sleep. Upper endoscopy...
Abstract Background A new hemostatic adhesive powder (UI-EWD) has been developed to reduce the high re-bleeding rates associated with currently available powders. The current study aimed assess efficacy of UI-EWD as a salvage therapy for treatment refractory upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Methods total 17 consecutive patients who had failed achieve hemostasis conventional endoscopic procedures and undergone in UGIB were prospectively enrolled study. We evaluated success rate initial...
Background/Aims Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a highly effective therapy for refractory and recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Despite its excellent efficacy recent widespread use, FMT has not been widely used in South Korea thus far. We describe our experience with to treat refractory/recurrent CDI. Methods conducted chart review of patients who underwent CDI at Inha University Hospital, between March 2014 June 2016. The demographic information, treatment data,...
Increasing clarithromycin resistance has led to the need for an alternative first-line therapy eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in Korea, and bismuth containing quadruple (BQT) tailored (TT) have been proposed as regimens. The aim this study was compare rates BQT TT H. therapies.H. infection diagnosed using rapid urease test or dual-priming oligonucleotide-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction (DPO-PCR) during endoscopy. Patients positive were divided into two groups; those...
Eosinophilic colitis is a relatively rare complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome which characterized by abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea usually treated with steroids hydroxyurea. However, no standard regimen exists in cases intractable disease despite several treatment attempts Interferon-alpha, cyclosporin, etoposide, vincristine, etc. We here report case 43-year-old woman recurrent eosinophilic as who was successfully cyclophosphamide.
Laparoscopic Heller myotomy with antireflux procedure is considered to be a standard treatment for achalasia. Recently, peroral endoscopic (POEM) was developed and performed on patients However, there no report POEM use in South Korea. The aim of this study evaluate the technical feasibility porcine model.POEM two mini pigs. We upper endoscopy under general anesthesia. A submucosal tunnel created circular muscle layer incised using several knives. mucosal entry closed resolution clips....
Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) is a nosocomial and opportunistic infection caused by Clostridium difficile. PMC related to the use of antibiotics leading intestinal dysbiosis an overgrowth C. Metronidazole or vancomycin considered be standard therapy for management PMC. However, has 15%-30% recurrence rate can refractory treatments, resulting in morbidity mortality. Here we describe patient who experienced was treated with fecal microbiota transplantation. A 69-year-old woman admitted...
