Background: Since its global introduction in 2000, capsule endoscopy (CE) has revolutionized the evaluation of small bowel disease. Aims and Objective: The aim of this study was to share our experience with CE including the findings and its diagnostic yield. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out at Colombo South Teaching Hospital of Sri Lanka. Data of patients who underwent CE from its initiation in 2017 until June 2020 were obtained from the hospital computer database. These included the patient demographics, indications for the study, quality of bowel preparation, and its findings. Results: The study included 54 patients with a mean age of 55 years. Mean gastric time and small bowel transit time were 52 and 272 min, respectively. Forty-five CE studies were done for the evaluation of small bowel bleeding and an abnormal study was found in 26 (57.78%) patients. Small intestinal ulcers and erosions were the most frequently found abnormality (n=16, 35.56%) followed by tumors (n=5, 11.11%). Active bleeding was evident in 14 (31.11%) patients. Overall diagnostic yield was higher in those with a history of overt bleeding (n=15, 71.43%) compared to occult bleeding (n=11, 45.83%). Most patients who were evaluated for abdominal pain and diarrhea had normal CE except for two who had small intestinal ulcers and subepithelial lesions. Only one case was complicated with capsule retention. Conclusion: CE is a useful investigation for the evaluation of small bowel disease, particularly in suspected small bowel bleeding. In contrast to western population, ulcers and erosions were the more frequently found abnormalities seen in local setting.

Increasing incidence of small intestinal ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has become a topic with recent advances of endoscopic technology. However, the pathogenesis and therapy are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Rikkunshito (TJ-43), a traditional herbal medicine, on expression of HSP60 and cytoprotective ability in small intestinal cell line (IEC-6). Effect of TJ-43 on HSP60 expression in IEC-6 cells was evaluated by immunoblot analysis. The effect of TJ-43 on cytoprotective abilities of IEC-6 cells against hydrogen peroxide or indomethacin was studied by MTT assay, LDH-release assay, caspase-8 activity, and TUNEL. HSP60 was significantly induced by TJ-43. Cell necrosis and apoptosis were significantly suppressed in IEC-6 cells pretreated by TJ-43 with overexpression of HSP60. Our results suggested that HSP60 induced by TJ-43 might play an important role in protecting small intestinal epithelial cells from apoptosis and necrosis in vitro.

Objective: To explore the detective value of magnetically controlled robotic capsule endoscopy (MCRCE) in patients with suspected small intestinal disease.Patients and Methods: In total, 1,802 patients with suspected small intestinal disease and negative gastroenteroscopy from Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital were examined with MCRCE, and the data were collected for further analysis.Results: Among the 1,802 patients who were examined with MCRCE, 974 were diagnosed with small intestinal disease, reaching a positive detection rate of 54.1%. The five most common conditions that were detected include non-specific enteritis in 722 cases (40.1%), small intestinal ulcers in 87 cases (4.8%), abnormal small bowel evacuation in 45 cases (2.5%), small intestinal bleeding in 33 cases (1.8%), and small intestinal yellow spots in 31 cases (1.7%). The running time of the capsules in the small intestine ranged from 85–437 min, with an average of 210.24 ± 89.08 min. No complications, such as intestinal obstruction or capsule retention, were observed in all patients.Conclusion: MCRCE is a safe and non-invasive endoscopic examination with a highly accurate detection rate for small intestinal diseases.
