Road to recompensation: Baveno VII criteria and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in liver cirrhosis.
Liver cirrhosis has long been considered a point of no return, with limited hope for recovery. However, recent advancements, particularly the Baveno VII criteria and the utilization of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), have illuminated the concept of hepatic recompensation. In this editorial we comment on the article by Gao et al published in the recent issue. This editorial provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of understanding cirrhosis, the criteria for recompensation, and the efficacy of TIPS in achieving recompensation. We discuss key findings from recent studies, including the promising outcomes observed in patients who achieved recompensation post-TIPS insertion. While further research is needed to validate these findings and elucidate the mech-anisms underlying recompensation, the insights presented here offer renewed hope for patients with decompensated cirrhosis and highlight the potential of TIPS as a therapeutic option in their management.

Optimization of colorectal cancer screening strategies: New insights.
In this editorial, we discuss the article by Agatsuma et al. We concentrate specifically on the current routinely used screening tests recommended by society guidelines and delve into the significance of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its substantial impact on both incidence and mortality rates. Screening is highly recommended, and an early diagnosis stands out as the most crucial predictor of survival for CRC patients. Therefore, it is essential to identify and address the barriers hindering adherence to screening measures, as these barriers can vary among different populations. Furthermore, we focus on screening strategy optimization by selecting high-risk groups. Patients with comorbidities who regularly visit hospitals have been diagnosed at an early stage, showing no significant difference compared to patients undergoing regular screening. This finding highlights the importance of extending screening measures to include patients with comorbidities who do not routinely visit the hospital.

Tata-box-binding protein-associated factor 15 as a new potential marker in gastrointestinal tumors.
In this editorial, the roles of tata-box-binding protein-associated factor 15 (TAF15) in oncogenesis, tumor behavior, and as a therapeutic target in cancers in the context of gastrointestinal (GI) tumors are discussed concerning the publication by Guo et al. TAF15 is a member of the FET protein family with a comprehensive range of cellular processes. Besides, evidence has shown that TAF15 is involved in many diseases, including cancers. TAF15 contributes to carcinogenesis and tumor behavior in many tumors. Besides, its relationship with the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway makes TAF15 a new target for therapy. Although, the fact that there is few studies investigating the expression of TAF15 constitutes a potential limitation in GI system, the association of TAF15 expression with aggressive tumor behavior and, similar to other organ tumors, the influence of TAF15 on the MAPK signaling pathway emphasize that this protein could serve as a new molecular biomarker to predict tumor behavior and target therapeutic intervention in GI cancers. In conclusion, more studies should be performed to better understand the prognostic and therapeutic role of TAF15 in GI tumors, especially in tumors resistant to therapy.

GATIS score for predicting the prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms: A Chinese multicenter study of 12-year experience.
There is currently a shortage of accurate, efficient, and precise predictive instruments for rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). To develop a predictive model for individuals with rectal NENs (R-NENs) using data from a large cohort. Data from patients with primary R-NENs were retrospectively collected from 17 large-scale referral medical centers in China. Random forest and Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify the risk factors for overall survival and progression-free survival, and two nomograms were constructed. A total of 1408 patients with R-NENs were included. Tumor grade, T stage, tumor size, age, and a prognostic nutritional index were important risk factors for prognosis. The GATIS score was calculated based on these five indicators. For overall survival prediction, the respective C-indexes in the training set were 0.915 (95% confidence interval: 0.866-0.964) for overall survival prediction and 0.908 (95% confidence interval: 0.872-0.944) for progression-free survival prediction. According to decision curve analysis, net benefit of the GATIS score was higher than that of a single factor. The time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the predictive power of the GATIS score was higher than that of the TNM stage and pathological grade at all time periods. The GATIS score had a good predictive effect on the prognosis of patients with R-NENs, with efficacy superior to that of the World Health Organization grade and TNM stage.

Is appendoscope a new option for the treatment of acute appendicitis?
Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency. It is commonly caused by obstruction of the appendiceal lumen due to fecaliths, tumors, or lymphoid hyperplasia. For over a century, appendectomy has been the primary treatment for acute appendicitis. Abraham Groves performed the first open appendectomy in 1883. In 1983, Kurt Semm completed the first laparoscopic appendectomy, heralding a new era in appendectomy. However, appendectomy is associated with certain complications and a rate of negative appendectomies. Studies have suggested controversy over the impact of appendectomy on the development of inflammatory bowel disease and Parkinson's disease, but an increasing number of studies indicate a possible positive correlation between appendectomy and colorectal cancer, gallstones, and cardiovascular disease. With the recognition that the appendix is not a vestigial organ and the advancement of endoscopic te-chnology, Liu proposed the endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy. It is an effective minimally invasive alternative for treating uncomplicated acute appendicitis. Our team has developed an appendoscope with a disposable digital imaging system operated through the biopsy channel of a colonoscope and successfully applied it in the treatment of appendicitis. This article provides an overview of the progress in endoscopic treatment for acute appendicitis and offers a new perspective on the future direction of appendiceal disease treatment.
