Fecal microbiota transplantation for irritable bowel syndrome: Current evidence and perspectives
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2179-2183. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2179.ABSTRACTIn this editorial we comment on the article published in the recent issue of the World journal of Gastroenterology. We focus specifically on the mechanisms un-derlying the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the factors which affect the outcomes of FMT in IBS patients, and challenges. FMT has emerged as a efficacious intervention for clostridium difficile infection and holds promise as a therapeutic modality for IBS. The utilization of FMT in the treatment of IBS has undergone scrutin...

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: A promising therapy for recompensation in cirrhotic patients
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2285-2286. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2285.ABSTRACTThis is a retrospective study focused on recompensation after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure. The authors confirmed TIPS could be a treatment for recompensation of patients with cirrhosis according to Baveno VII. The paper identified age and post-TIPS portal pressure gradient as independent predictors of recompensation in patients with decompensated cirrhosis after TIPS. These results need to be validated in a larger prospective cohort.PMID:38690019 | PMC:PMC11056914 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2285 (Sou...

MicroRNAs in inflammatory bowel disease: What do we know and what can we expect?
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2184-2190. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2184.ABSTRACTMicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs composed of 18-24 nucleotides, are potent regulators of gene expression, contributing to the regulation of more than 30% of protein-coding genes. Considering that miRNAs are regulators of inflammatory pathways and the differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells, there is an interest in exploring their importance in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic and multifactorial disease of the gastrointestinal tract; the main forms are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Several s...

Optimization of tracheoesophageal fistula model established with T-shaped magnet system based on magnetic compression technique
CONCLUSION: Use of the modified T-shaped magnet scheme is safe and feasible for establishing TEF and can achieve a more stable and uniform fistula size compared with ordinary magnets. Most importantly, this model offers better controllability, which improves the flexibility of follow-up studies.PMID:38690021 | PMC:PMC11056911 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2272 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)

Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease: Updated examination of mechanisms, pathophysiology, treatment, and association with gastroesophageal reflux disease
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2209-2219. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2209.ABSTRACTLaryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is an inflammatory condition in the laryngopharynx and upper aerodigestive tract mucosa caused by reflux of stomach contents beyond the esophagus. LPRD commonly presents with sym-ptoms such as hoarseness, cough, sore throat, a feeling of throat obstruction, excessive throat mucus. This complex condition is thought to involve both reflux and reflex mechanisms, but a clear understanding of its molecular mechanisms is still lacking. Currently, there is no standardized diagnosis or treatment protoc...

Mechanisms of tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment formation in esophageal cancer
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2195-2208. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2195.ABSTRACTAs a highly invasive malignancy, esophageal cancer (EC) is a global health issue, and was the eighth most prevalent cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide in 2020. Due to its highly immunogenic nature, emer-ging immunotherapy approaches, such as immune checkpoint blockade, have demonstrated promising efficacy in treating EC; however, certain limitations and challenges still exist. In addition, tumors may exhibit primary or acquired resistance to immunotherapy in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME); ...

Microplastics and microbiota: Unraveling the hidden environmental challenge
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Apr 28;30(16):2191-2194. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i16.2191.ABSTRACTThis editorial explores the intricate relationship between microplastics (MPs) and gut microbiota, emphasizing the complexity and environmental health implications. The gut microbiota, a crucial component of gastrointestinal health, is examined in the context of potential microbial degradation of MPs. Furthermore, dysbiosis induced by MPs emerges as a consensus, disrupting the balance of gut microbiota and decreasing diversity. The mechanisms triggering dysbiosis, including physical interactions and chemical composition, are under in...
