"During the last few years, the study of the interaction between the gut microbiome and colorectal cancer development has revealed significant differences between colorectal cancer patients and healthy individuals in terms of gut microbiota composition and proportion of microbes. Moreover, the response of individual colorectal cancer patients to chemo- and immunotherapy also depends on the composition of the gut microbiome. In the present study, the authors investigated the possible effect of Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) on the progression of colorectal cancer. They found that this bacterium suppresses butyric acid production and that sodium butyrate impairs mitochondrial function and interferes with the cell cycle in cancer cells. It was also shown that sodium butyrate and F. nucleatum orchestrate cancer cell proliferation through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase signaling pathway. Therefore, this study contributes to our understanding of the many complex pathogenetic mechanisms of colorectal cancer, at least in part. As for the future, such and similar studies are expected to enhance the development of more effective treatment strategies."

"In this review article, the authors summarize the utility of texture and color enhancement imaging in clinical settings. However, they do not provide a description of the technological foundations. Merely listing detection rates and accuracy in comparison to white light imaging or other image-enhancing endoscopic techniques does not convincingly demonstrate the superiority of texture and color enhancement imaging. This is because detection rates and accuracy in endoscopic studies are significantly influenced not only by the differences in instrumentation but also by the skill of the observers and the pathophysiological conditions of the subjects. A lack of robust discussion fails to outline future directions. Unfortunately, this makes it a rudimentary review article."

"In this review article, the authors provide a narrative summary of both the basic and clinical history of researches for chronic gastritis. I maintain that a scientific article should propose hypotheses and/or strategies, grounded in either original research or meta-analysis, to establish novel evidence and perspectives that indicate future directions. Regrettably, this article resembles a history book more than a scientific manuscript. Such an article ought to be published not as an original or review piece but rather as nonfiction literature."

"In this review manuscript, the authors attempt to propose a comprehensive application of multimodal ultrasound techniques, including B-mode, Doppler, contrast enhancement, elastography, among others. However, the manuscript is marred by redundant sentences. A practical methodology is presented exclusively for assessing liver stiffness. Furthermore, while liver stiffness assessment takes into account not just fibrous accumulation but also factors such as cholestasis and congestion—as the authors mention—they fail to discuss or suggest methods to mitigate these confounding factors. Regrettably, this article falls short of achieving the objectives the authors set out for this review."

"Thrombus formation occurred in the portal vein of intrahepatic stones in Japan due to the spread of cholangitis, and thrombus formation occurred frequently at the bifurcation, and the third and fourth branches of the portal vein, which were approximately 0.5 mm in diameter, were severely stenotic due to thrombosis. There was severe atrophy in the liver parenchyma associated with decreased portal blood flow. In other words, bile duct dilatation occurs in the long axis direction as well as in the direction of increasing diameter, and on the other hand, the contraction force of the tissue is also applied to the bile duct, so the bile duct is bent and squeezed and takes on a highly deformed shape. Based on these results, there have been reports of severe deformity of the bile ducts, portal vein stenosis, and intrahepatic lesions accompanied by hepatic parenchymal atrophy, and we would like to request consideration of liver atrophy and portal vein lesions in your paper."

"How to identify and intervene early to reduce the mortality of end-stage liver disease is one of the difficulties in clinical treatment. NLR is a simple index, and it has predictive value for the prognosis of a variety of diseases. The present study conducted a large-scale meta-analysis suggesting that high levels of NLR are associated with poor prognosis in ESLD. Interestingly, this finding was more pronounced in Asian populations. Considering the different etiologies of ESLD in different regions, the authors can further explore the predictive value of NLR for prognosis under different etiologies, which will be of more clinical value."

"The authors of this study showed that serum levels of GDF-15 in IBD patients are elevated compared to normal controls regardless of factors affecting the normal serum levels of this factor. The authors found a significant correlation with the endoscopic severity and other parameters of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. GDF-15 is weakly overexpressed under normal conditions, but its secretion increases in stressful situations. The authors hypothesize that this factor may be involved in the pathophysiology of IBD and its extraintestinal manifestations. However, these data are quite preliminary. More studies are needed on a larger number of patients of different clinical severity in which the influence of various clinical and laboratory parameters such as the type of treatment they receive must be taken into account. The complexity of the pathophysiological factors involved in the pathogenesis of the disease does not allow easy or premature conclusions to be drawn about the actual pathogenetic role of various factors, including GDF-15. As pointed out by the authors, further investigation of the various molecular pathways in which GDF-15 is involved is required before definitive conclusions can be drawn."

"The installation of a tunnel peritoneal drainage catheter (PleurX or Rocket) for the palliative treatment of refractory ascites in cirrhotic patients, as well as its comparison with large volume paracenteses, is well described in previous studies. The authors demonstrated the feasibility of using long-term abdominal drains (LTAD) Rocket as a potential treatment method for refractory ascites in cirrhotic patients, with a comparable frequency of drain-related complications, peritonitis, cellulitis, site leakage, bleeding of drain site and hypotension in large volume paracentesis (LVP) and LTAD groups, with a higher incidence of ascites/drain related admissions and acute kidney injury in the LVP group, and with a longer time to first hospitalisation in the LTAD group. It should be noted that the decision to prescribe antibiotics as primary prophylaxis to all trial participants deviates from national and international guidance and makes it more difficult to rebut fears of increased infection risk. Long-term prophylactic antibiotic use is not without risk, both to the individual and wider population, and how this is approached in subsequent trial requires thought. "

"1 Ethics: Informed written consent was obtained from the patient to publish this report and any accompanying images. 2 Methods: The description is exact and can be repeated according to adequate textual/citation content presented. 3 Results: The results look true and authentic. This is an extremely rare condition, and it is difficult to discuss its universal significance and whether it is validated or partially validated. 4 Figures and tables: The authors provide perfect tables, line charts and/or graphs. 5 Biostatistics: This is a case report without the possibility of statistics. 6 References: The authors scientifically and reasonably cite the latest references, which are important in this field and related to the scientific problems and research hypotheses addressed in the study. 7 Language: The language in the article looks correct, clear, and concisely expresses the information. Unfortunately, I am not a native English speaker. 8 Caveats or drawbacks: The part of the sentence ‘’but a suspicious positive Murphy sign was noted.’’ Is not scientifically correct. If the sign is positive, then it cannot be suspicious. Also, how can a sign be suspicious? The history was not suggestive of cholecystitis. It sounds more like an indolent course, which is suggestive of a tumor. Also, such irregularities on a CT scan are not suggestive of cholecystitis. If the diagnosis was cholecystitis with the resultant liver abscess, the treatment should be surgical. Percutaneous drainage cannot cure perforated cholecystitis, which is a cause of hepatic abscess. Therefore, this management plan was incorrect."

"This article provides significant insights into the correlations between the onset or development of NAFLD and sleep disorders. Poor sleep quality associated or not associated with short sleep duration, or even excessive sleep duration, may increase the risk of NAFLD. Sleep disorders are often associated with OSA, which in turn has been associated with the development of NAFLD. NAFDL itself appears to represent an aggravation risk for OSA, in a vicious cycle that is sometimes very difficult to eradicate. The authors underline how, in certain circumstances, the treatment of OSA pathology with CPAP can stabilize and slow down the progression of NAFDL. The authors also highlights very well the reasons why improving sleep quality and resolving sleep disorders should be included in the list of lifestyle behaviours that can help reduce the risk of NAFLD. I think the review may contribute adequately to raising teh reader's interest."

"Transplanting stool from healthy individuals to patients with ulcerative colitis is a well-established and effective method of treating moderate to severe relapses of the disease. However, the method is not widely applied for reasons related to inherent difficulties in its application and the availability of stool samples. However, in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), there is limited data on the application of the method. The so-called “Washed Microbiota Transplantation (WMT) is a promising therapeutic modality for the treatment of patients with CD. In a related prospective study on the efficacy of WMT in patients with CD, the authors found that (although the patient sample was very small) 63.6% of patients showed a significant improvement in the disease activity index three months after its application, but this was not accompanied by a concomitant reduction in blood and stool inflammation markers probably due to the small number of patients tested. Stool transplantation using the proposed technique is based on an automatic washing process. The exact mode of action of fecal transplantation needs to be further elucidated. In my opinion shortly and as long as the WMT technique becomes widely available and its cost becomes 'reasonable' it may compete with biological agents in the treatment of patients either as a single or as a combination therapy with biological and/or other available therapeutic agents. It goes without saying that what is also pointed out by the authors is that additional large randomized controlled trials using additional genomic techniques (e.g. macro-proteomics and culture genomics) are required to confirm the results of this study."
