    Abstract We herein describe three patients whose endoscopic images from over 15 years prior to their diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis (AIG) were available for review. All patients had corpus-dominant atrophic gastritis at the time of the diagnosis of AIG. Previous endoscopic images without severe atrophy showed erythema restricted to the fundic mucosa. These findings are suggestive of ongoing gastritis in patients with AIG. Initial endoscopy in Patient 2 showed multiple hyperplastic polyps that decreased in size and number over the course of 15 years. In this patient, circular wrinkle-like patterns and remnant oxyntic mucosa were visible after the atrophy had become quite prominent.

    Abstract Background: The incidence of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a Th2-type allergic disease of the esophagus, has increased with the higher prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Both conditions are chronic inflammatory diseases with similar clinical presentations, yet their pathogenesis is thought to differ. Recent evidence indicates that forkhead box P3 (FOXP3)-positive regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in immune tolerance and control of Th2-biased responses in various allergic diseases.
    Aims: This study aimed to investigate differences in Treg induction between EoE and GERD and clarify whether this difference was related to the clinicopathological findings of patients with EoE.
    Methods: Thirty patients (15 men, 15 women) with EoE and 30 patients (15 men, 15 women) with GERD were included. Patient characteristics, including endoscopic and pathological findings, were compared between the two groups. Immunohistochemistry staining was used to identify T lymphocytes and Tregs. Tregs were identified by CD3 + FOXP3 + staining, and T cells were defined as CD3 + cells. The number of T cells and Tregs in the epithelium was counted, and the average of Tregs/T cells was calculated.
    Results: The ratio of Tregs/CD3 + T cells in the esophageal epithelium was significantly lower in the EoE group than in the GERD group (9.9% vs. 23.6%, P = 0.0000012). Comparison of the ratio of Tregs/CD3 + T cells by age, gender, endoscopic findings, and histological findings in patients with EoE revealed a significant difference in gender.
    Conclusions: Treg induction was impaired, and this effect was more pronounced in male adult patients with EoE than those with GERD.

    Abstract Esophageal achalasia is classified into three subtypes according to manometric findings. Since several factors, including clinical characteristics and treatment response, have been reported to differ among the subtypes, the underlying pathogenesis may also differ. However, a comprehensive understanding regarding the differences is still lacking. We therefore performed a systematic review of the differences among the three subtypes of achalasia to clarify the current level of comprehension. In terms of clinical features, type III, which is the least frequently diagnosed of the three subtypes, showed the oldest age and most severe symptoms, such as chest pain. In contrast, type I showed a higher prevalence of lung complications, and type II showed weight loss more frequently than the other types. Histopathologically, type I showed a high loss of ganglion cells in esophagus, and on a molecular basis, type III had elevated serum pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. In addition to peristalsis and the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function, the upper esophageal sphincter (UES) function of achalasia has attracted attention, as an impaired UES function is associated with severe aspiration pneumonia, a fatal complication of achalasia. Previous studies have indicated that type II shows a higher UES pressure than the other subtypes, while an earlier decline in the UES function has been confirmed in type I. Differences in the treatment response are also crucial for managing achalasia patients. A number of studies have reported better responses in type II cases and less favorable responses in type III cases to pneumatic dilatation. These differences help shed light on the pathogenesis of achalasia and support its clinical management according to the subtype.

    Abstract Melanosis coli (MC) is an acquired colorectal disorder visualized as colonic mucosa pigmentation. Disease severity is confirmed based on MC depth, shape, and coloration, although the clinical course is not fully understood. This study sought to clarify characteristics of MC development and disappearance and to investigate its clinical course and severity. Contributors to MC grade progression were explored. This study reviewed MC cases discovered via colonoscopy at a single institution over a 10-year period. Of all 216 MC cases, 17 developing and 10 disappearing cases were detected. Anthranoid laxative use was a key factor: 29.4% of the developing cases had used such agents before the initial MC diagnosis, whereas 40% of disappearing cases had discontinued anthranoids prior to detection of MC disappearance. Among 70 grade I cases, progression to grade II occurred in 16 cases during a mean follow-up of 3.67±2.1 years (rate of progression=22.8%). Males more commonly showed progressive than stable grade I cases, and the probability of progression was higher for male than for female cases. An association between anthranoid administration and MC presence was presumed, and grade I MC was found to progress in severity over 5 years.

    Abstract A 61-year-old female patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which confirmed the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive nodular gastritis (NG). Routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy after H. pylori eradication revealed atrophic changes of the corpus, having gradually progressed over the 10 years after successful eradication. Serological and biopsy specimen examination showed hypergastrinemia (1200 pg/mL), positive anti-parietal cell antibody (with a titer of more 160), and endocrine cell micronests after 11 years of H. pylori eradication. The patient was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis (AIG) based on endoscopic, serological, and histological findings. This is the first report of AIG diagnosed in a patient with NG over a long period of time after H. pylori eradication.

    Abstract Both eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS) are relatively rare diseases in Japan. We herein report a case of EoE with APS in a 67-year-old Japanese man who presented with chest pain and dysphagia. On the basis of endoscopic findings and histological analysis, we diagnosed the patient with EoE along with autoimmune gastritis. Additional serological examinations revealed the presence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and type 1 diabetes, which led to the final diagnosis of APS. His symptoms did not respond to treatment with a proton-pump inhibitor but improved with topical steroid therapy. This case of coexisting EoE and APS-2 is quite rare and has several implications for the pathogenesis of both conditions.

    Abstract We herein report a case of an idiopathic intramural hematoma in the gastric wall that presented with symptoms of anemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor-like lesion on the anterior gastric wall below the gastric fundus. Noncontrast-enhanced ultrasonography showed an anechoic area with indistinct boundaries mainly located within the submucosal layer in the gastric wall, and the lesion showed no contrast enhancement on contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the above-mentioned ultrasonographic imaging findings, a final diagnosis of idiopathic intramural gastric hematoma was made. The patient was treated conservatively, and changes in the size and internal ultrasonographic characteristics of the mass were followed up by ultrasonography. Six months later, esophagogastroduodenoscopy confirmed that the mass had disappeared.

    Abstract The severity and distribution of melanosis coli differ among individuals, and the related factors remain unknown. Additionally, their clinical implications have not been sufficiently demon-strated. Thus, we aimed to detect clinical factors related to the severity and range of melanosis coli and elucidate the associations between the grade, location, and detection rate of colorectal neoplasms. Colonoscopy cases performed at our institution from January 2011 to February 2021 were included. Melanosis coli was classified into mild and severe grades. Clinical characteristics and neoplasm detection rates were compared between the mild and severe MC groups and between the right-sided and whole-colon melanosis coli groups. Overall, 236 MC (mild,

    Abstract We report a patient with a mucocele with diffuse wall thickening diagnosed by transabdominal ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. Transabdominal ultrasonography showed diffuse thickening of the entire appendix wall and an anechoic area that appeared to be fluid collected throughout the appendix lumen. However, the "onion skin sign" was not detected. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography combined with superb microvascular imaging revealed abundant mucosal blood flow and no abnormal vascular network within the mucosa of the appendix wall. We preoperatively diagnosed a mucocele complicated by acute and chronic appendicitis, and ileocecal resection was performed. Macroscopic and microscopic findings of the resected specimens demonstrated that the appendiceal wall was diffusely thickened, with fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration, and that the appendiceal root rumen was narrowed with epithelial hyperplasia. No neoplastic changes were observed. The cause of the appendiceal mucocele was likely fibrosis and stenosis at the root of the appendix due to initial acute appendicitis.
