Abstract

To evaluate the performance of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) in diagnosis of gastric lesions. An outpatient department- (OPD-) based retrospective study was conducted for patients with suspected upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract lesions who underwent pCLE between 2014 and 2016 at a tertiary hospital in China. Final diagnosis was based on the histopathological reports. CLE reports were compared to histopathological reports to evaluate the diagnostic ability, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy. 322 of 380 patients were diagnosed with gastric lesions via pCLE, including inflammation and benign ulcers (n = 110), atrophy and intestinal metaplasia (n = 152), intraepithelial neoplasia (n = 27), adenocarcinoma (n = 27), and lymphoma (n = 6). In total, the diagnostic ability of CLE in evaluation of gastric lesions showed sensitivity 72.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 67.1-77.2%); specificity 93.1% (95% CI: 5.6-8.4%); PPV 72.4% (95% CI: 67.1-77.2%); NPV 93.1% (95% CI: 5.6-8.4%); and accuracy 88.9% (95% CI: 87.3-90.4%), respectively. We further observed the capability of pCLE in diagnosing six gastric lymphoma showing those affe...Continue Reading

Atrophic Gastritis

Atrophic Gastritis is a process where gastric glandular cells are lost and replaced with firbous tissues, as a result of chronic inflammation. Learn more about Atrophic Gastritis here.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
