LCI in Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Early Gastric Cancer (non)

Color Information From Linked Color Imaging is Associated With Mucosal Microvascular Density in Chronic Atrophic Gastritis and Early Gastric Cancer

Color change is a useful marker for the endoscopic identification of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) and gastric cancer (GC). Several histopathological studies have suggested a correlation between certain gastrointestinal lesions and intramucosal vascularity. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the color and mucosal microvascular density of CAG and early GC using linked color imaging (LCI). In this study, Lesions diagnosed as CAG and early GC will be observed using LCI. In each image, the color values of atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be quantified using the International Commission on Illumination 1976 (L∗, a∗, b∗) color space. Histological microvascular density in biopsy or resected specimens will be evaluated using CD31 immunostaining. Color differences at the atrophic border and cancerous border, defined as Euclidean distances of color values between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be calculated according to mucosal microvascular density.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this study, 10 patients diagnosed with CAG or early GC by esophagogastroduodenoscopy at Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between September 2023 and December 2023 will be enrolled. The following equipment will be used for the study: LCI endoscope (EG-760Z, FUJIFILM Co., Tokyo, Japan), light sources (LASEREO LL-4450; Fujifilm Co.), and video processors (AdvanciaHD VP-4450HD; FUJIFILM Co.). During esophagogastroduodenography, the atrophic or cancerous border will be identified. Following identical compositions, images will be continuously captured via LCI. Endoscopic biopsy or resection will be performed, and the mucosal microvascular density will be histopathologically analyzed using the specimens. The color values of atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be quantified using the International Commission on Illumination 1976 (L∗, a∗, b∗) color space. Histological microvascular density in biopsy or resected specimens will be evaluated using CD31 immunostaining. Color differences at the atrophic border and cancerous border, defined as Euclidean distances of color values between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be calculated according to mucosal microvascular density.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Atrophic or Cancerous
In each image, the color values of atrophic or cancerous will be quantified using the International Commission on Illumination 1976 (L∗, a∗, b∗) color space. Histological microvascular density in biopsy or resected specimens will be evaluated using CD31 immunostaining. Color differences at the atrophic border and cancerous border, defined as Euclidean distances of color values between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be calculated according to mucosal microvascular density.
To investigate the association between the color and mucosal microvascular density of CAG and EGC using linked color imaging.
Non-atrophic or Non-cancerous
In each image, the color values of non-atrophic or non-cancerous will be quantified using the International Commission on Illumination 1976 (L∗, a∗, b∗) color space. Histological microvascular density in biopsy or resected specimens will be evaluated using CD31 immunostaining. Color differences at the atrophic border and cancerous border, defined as Euclidean distances of color values between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be calculated according to mucosal microvascular density.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Color differences between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa
Time Frame: up to 4 weeks
The color values of atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be quantified by using the International Commission on Illumination 1976 (L∗, a∗, b∗) color space. It is speculated that there is a significant difference in the color difference between atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa and between cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa.
up to 4 weeks
Microvascular density differences between the atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa
Time Frame: up to 2 weeks
Histological microvascular density of atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa, as well as cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa, will be evaluated by using CD31 immunostaining. It is speculated that there is a significant difference in the mucosal microvascular density between atrophic and non-atrophic mucosa and between cancerous and non-cancerous mucosa.
