Diagnosing MALT Gastric Lymphoma in Gastroenterologist’s Practice, a Clinical Observation
Aim. A clinical case description to highlight challenges in diagnosing MALT lymphoma presented in infiltrative ulcer-ative lesions.Key points. A 60-yo patient was admitted to the Loginov Moscow Clinical Scientific Centre with epigastric pain and an 18 kg weight loss over past 4 months. A history of repeated outpatient endoscopic examinations revealing subse-quently ulcerative and infiltrative ulcerative gastric lesions of unestablished origin. A complex examination combin-ing oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS), endosonography (EUS), multislice computed tomography (MSCT), morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays elicited the MALT gastric lymphoma IIE stage involving para-gastric and intraperitoneal lymph nodes. The first treatment stage included line-1 eradication therapy, rabeprazole 20 mg x 2 times a day, amoxicillin 1000 mg x 2 times a day, clarithromycin 500 mg x 2 times a day, bismuth tripotas-sium dicitrate 240 mg x 2 times a day — for 14 days. Accounting for the process prevalence and stage, six courses of R-CHOP polychemotherapy (PCT) were ordered by haematologist.Conclusion. This observation demonstrates a targeted-biopsy endoscopic examination followed by morphological, IHC, EUS (for invasion depth) and MSCT (for process advancement) assays to be decisive in differential diagnosis of ulcerative and infiltrative ulcerative gastric lesions

Postcholecystectomy syndrome: the modern approach: resolution of Advisory council
Aim of publication. To present proceedings of Advisory council on postcholecystectomy syndrome (August 25, 2017; Prague, Czech Republic) with support of the Adamed Group company. Summary. The Advisory council proposed algorithm for investigation and management of patients with postcholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). Gallstone disease (GSD) is diagnosed in 10-25% of the population of various age, with obvious trend to involvement of the younger patient categories in the last decades. The total number of GSD patients increases every decade no less than twice. Cholecystectomy remains the basic method of surgical treatment of symptomatic GSD. Nowadays laparoscopic cholecystectomy became universally popular and earned the status of the «gold standard» of surgical treatment. At the same time at asymptomatic GSD the watchful waiting approach avoiding active treatment is considered to be the most expedient. Biliary sludge and microlithiasis including cases undiagnosed at routine investigation can be one of important factors for development of the PCS. Pharmacological treatment of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction that develop at GSD/PCS include following of dietary recommendations, intake of selective spasmolytics, digestive enzymes and ursodeoxycholic acid. Conclusions. Follow-up program for the patient of the cholecystectomy should include regular assessment of clinical symptoms for duly diagnostics of acute and/or severe complications and associated diseases, that may require surgical treatment. Treatment has to include regular courses of selective antispasmodics, the presence of indications - prescription of bile acid supplements, when required - methods of endoscopic surgery
