상피하 종양Introduction Subepithelial mass lesions (SEML) are frequently encountered at upper endoscopy appearing as a mass, bulge, or impression covered with normal appearing mucosa . The term subepithelial is favored over submucosal as the masses can arise from outside the gastrointestinal wall or from layers other than the submucosa (lamina propria to muscularis propria).

궤양성 대장염 - Ulcerative colitisIntroduction Recurring episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon Commonly involves the rectum and may extend in a proximal and continuous fashion to involve other parts of the colonClinical manifestation Present with diarrhea, which may be associated with blood; frequent and small volume as a result of rectal inflammation Colicky abdominal pain, urgency, tenesmus, and incontinence The onset of symptoms is usually gradual, and symptoms are progressive over several weeks.Clinical manifestation Systemic symptoms Fever, fatigue, and weight loss Also have dyspnea and palpitations due to anemia (secondary to iron deficiency from blood loss, anemia of chronic disease, or autoimmune hemolytic anemia)Physical examination Often normal, especially in patients with mild disease Patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis may have abdominal tenderness to palpation, fever, hypotension, tachycardia, and pallorDisease severity Mild 4 stools/resentation, 25% of patients have an EIM in their lifetimeLab findings Severe ulcerative colitis may have anemia, an elevated ESR(≥30 mm/hour), low albumin, and electrolyte abnormalities due to diarrhea and dehydration UC+ PSC may have an elevation in serum alkaline phosphatase concentrationImaging Usually normal in mild to moderate disease proximal constipation, mucosal thickening or thumbprinting secondary to edema, and colonic dilation in patients with severe or fulminant ulcerative colitisImaging CT and MRI have lower sensitivity than barium enema for the detection of subtle early mucosal disease, but are equivalent in patients with established and severe diseaseDiagnosis Presence of chronic diarrhea for more than 4wks and evidence of active inflammation on endoscopy and chronic changes on biopsy Since these features are not specific for ulcerative colitis, establishing the diagnosis also requires the exclusion of other causes of colitis by history, laboratory studies, and by biobleeding, and copious exudates Nonneoplastic pseudopolyps may be present in areas of disease involvement due to prior inflammationEndoscopic findingsEndoscopic findings The initial episode of ulcerative colitis Limited to the rectum or sigmoid colon in 30~50 % Lt-sided colitis in 20~30% 20% of patients have pancolitis with disease extending proximal to the splenic flexureEndoscopic findings Occasionally a subset of patients with ulcerative colitis have focal inflammation around the appendiceal orifice that is not contiguous with disease elsewhere in the colon (a cecal patch) Ileal inflammation (backwash ileitis) may occasionally be seen in patients with ulcerative colitis with active right-sided colitis. Unlike the ileitis associated with Crohn disease which is patchy, backwash ileitis associated with ulcerative colitis is diffuse.Cecal patch Korean J Gastroenterol. 2010 Sep;56(3):201-204.

Clostridium difficile PMCClostridium difficile Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus Vegetative cells die quickly in an aerobic environment Spores are a survival form and live for a very long time in the environmentClostridium difficile Infection (CDI) CDI rates of diarrhea and colitis have continued to increase in the United States since 2000. More severe CDI with higher mortality and higher rates of colectomy, especially in the elderly, continues to be reported. Currently, non-absorbed oral agents that are locally active such as vancomycin and new investigational drugs are the most effective treatments available for severe CDI.Inflammatory Response to C. difficile Toxins alters GI Tract Physiology Toxin A is a potent enterotoxin (causes fluid loss) and a very active white blood cell attractant. Toxin B is a potent cell cytotoxin (kills cells) Cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 expression and prostaglandins are elevated in the presence of Toxin A.Risk Factors for Infection Hospitalizatrated colon sepsis deathMarkers of Severe Disease Leukocytosis Prominent feature of severe disease Rapidly elevating WBC Up to 100 K 10 BM/day Albumin 2.5 Creatinine 2x baseline Hypertension Pseudomembranous colitis Toxic megacolon Severe distension and abdominal painDiagnosis The diagnosis of C. difficile infection should be suspected in patients with clinically significant diarrhea (≥3 loose stools in 24 hours) or ileus in the setting of relevant risk factors (including recent antibiotic use, hospitalization, and advanced age). The diagnosis is established via a positive laboratory stool test for C. difficile toxins or C. difficile toxin gene . Laboratory testing does not distinguish between C. difficile –associated diarrhea (CDAD) and asymptomatic carriage (which does not warrant treatment) - diagnostic laboratory testing should be pursued only in patients with clinically significant diarrheaDiagnosis Findings of pseudomembranous colitis on radiographic or endoscopic examination) if medically reasonable Metronidazole Oral or IV, 500 mg TID for 10-14 days is standard therapy 5 – 20% failure rate 20% relapse rate Can use a full 2 nd course for failure/relapse but beyond 2 courses, switch to vancomycin Failures not due to metronidazole resistanceInitial Treatment Options for CDI Historical response (96%) and relapse rates (20%) similar between metronidazole and vancomycin More recently, efficacy of metronidazole for severe disease called into question Recent prospective trials report vancomycin to be superior to metronidazole in severe CDIInitial Treatment Options for CDI Metronidazole 250 mg QID or 500 mg TID May be administered PO or IV Development of resistance rare Historical first-line agent Vancomycin 125 mg QID effective in enteral (oral or rectal) form only Typically reserved for severe disease, those failing to respond to metronidazole, or cases in which metronidazole is contraindicatedManagement of Severe CDI Early recognition is critical Initiate thersult There were numerous discrete yellow plaques present at S colon and rectum (x6).
