"Initially, I submitted my manuscript to the World Journal of Gastroenterology and was rejected. However, I am glad that it was transferred to the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and later accepted. This process of transferring manuscripts is particularly helpful to authors, as it eliminates the burden of revising and resubmitting the manuscript to a new journal. It reduces the burden a lot. The peer review reports were objective and helped to revise the manuscript, improving its clarity, presentability, readability, and scientific quality. The immediate acceptance of the journal helps to focus on improving the manuscript without uncertainty. The publication process is fast. Editors were very helpful and approachable. During publication, some figures submitted separately were combined into a single figure. Some of the pooled figures were not exactly related and were prepared in different formats. It would be better if we were given the option to combine them and make them similar, and provide a maximum figure number. The reference auto-analysis service is very helpful, but sometimes it constantly updates the references to different versions. PDF is clear and arranged well. Overall I am satisfied with submission, review and publication process. " [Collapse]

"In this review, the authors discuss an important topic of great clinical significance, for which the relevant publications are not commensurate with its value and importance, and for which younger gastroenterologists, in particular, should delve more deeply, devoting time to studying various parameters, including pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic management. A common histological feature of these diseases is atrophy of the small intestinal villi, leading to the characteristic clinical manifestations of malabsorption syndrome. The differential diagnosis should include a wide range of diseases, such as immunological, lymphoproliferative, infectious, iatrogenic, and inflammatory conditions, whose accurate diagnosis remains difficult, at least in some cases, even today. There is a significant need to train young gastroenterologists to diagnose underlying malabsorption syndrome and identify its exact cause, so that an etiological and successful therapeutic approach can be pursued. I congratulate the authors on selecting this topic for analysis." [Collapse]

"In this manuscript, the authors performed a meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials involving 16,977 patients to assess whether rectal administration of indomethacin prevents post–endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP). The results show no statistically significant difference in the risk of PEP between patients who received indomethacin and those who did not. Nevertheless, in the Discussion and Conclusion, the authors present their findings in a way that implies a beneficial effect of rectal indomethacin for PEP prevention. This clear discrepancy between the reported results and the authors’ interpretation renders the manuscript confusing and undermines the validity of its conclusions." [Collapse]

"The review clearly articulated why smoking cessation is particularly critical in diabetes, linking smoking to increased complications and mortality. Authors emphasized routine integration into diabetes care is a major practical strength. Physiological (weight gain, insulin sensitivity changes) and psychological barriers were appropriately highlighted, and the need for tailored approaches is reinforced. This framing helps justify why standard cessation models may be insufficient for this population. The identification of varenicline as the agent with the strongest evidence in people with diabetes is appropriate and clinically useful. The cautious tone regarding nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion was justified because of limited diabetes-specific data. Inclusion of harm reduction strategies, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and digital tools reflects contemporary practice and emerging research directions. The call for pragmatic trials and long-term strategies is well aligned with current gaps in evidence. However, the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists is interesting but somewhat speculative. Explicitly acknowledging that evidence for a direct effect on smoking cessation is indirect or preliminary would improve scientific rigor. " [Collapse]

"This meta-analysis found that rectal indomethacin did not differ significantly from placebo in PEP incidence. However, the pharmacological safety profile was very satisfactory with no significant increase in adverse events compared with the control group. The evidence was more substantial in high-risk patients. It is known that, given this satisfactory safety profile, many centers administer NSAIDs rectally. The authors conclude with the recommendation that “Rectal indomethacin appears to be safe and may offer benefit in selected high-risk patients, though findings should be interpreted with caution due to high heterogeneity”. The meta-analysis's obvious conclusion is that the drug is ineffective when administered before ERCP. However, in an attempt to mitigate the effects, the authors agree to “accept the results with caution.” PEP is known to be the most common serious complication of ERCP, occurring in approximately 3.5% to 15% of cases, and up to 25% in high-risk groups. According to the latest clinical guidelines (including ASGE 2023 and IAP 2025 updates), a multi-modal approach is the standard of care. Prevention strategies are divided into patient selection, pharmacological prophylaxis, and procedural techniques. The Summary Protocol for 2026 recommends the following: For Universal Prophylaxis, Rectal Indomethacin 100 mg for all patients + moderate hydration, and for High-Risk Prophylaxis: Rectal NSAIDs + Aggressive Lactated Ringer's + Prophylactic PD Stent. I think that such vital clinical issues are best resolved through international consensus, which will provide clear, universally accepted guidelines." [Collapse]

"I would like to commend the authors for an exceptionally comprehensive and timely review on strategies to optimize mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy for tendon-bone healing. I found the sections on MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes particularly insightful. The manuscript effectively highlights the advantages of EV-based, cell-free therapies, including lower immunogenicity, reduced tumorigenic risk, and the ability to mediate paracrine effects similar to parent MSCs, positioning them as a promising modality for tendon-bone regeneration. The discussion of strategies to enhance EV efficacy, such as preconditioning of parent MSCs (hypoxia, LIPUS, magnetic stimulation, and pharmacological agents) and engineering delivery platforms (endogenous/exogenous loading, surface modifications for targeted delivery), is highly relevant for translational applications. I especially appreciated the emphasis on exosome-mediated modulation of macrophage polarization, promotion of angiogenesis, and enhancement of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, which highlights their mechanistic versatility. While the manuscript provides excellent mechanistic insight and preclinical evidence, a brief discussion on challenges in EV translation—such as scalable production, stability, standardization of dosing, and regulatory considerations—could further strengthen the practical relevance. Nonetheless, this focused review of MSC-derived EVs significantly contributes to the field by showcasing both the potential and current hurdles of cell-free therapies for tendon-bone healing."

Of “Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT plays a crucial role in diagnosing OT, and laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach” in the conclusion. It’s not adequate to address “and laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach” in the “Conclusion”. Structure of relative description was not adequate. Discussion needs not involve much about other aspects of omental torsion other than imaging diagnosis, it should focus on imaging diagnosis and differential diagnosis, especially contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Compared to CT, contrast-enhanced CT has higher sensitivity and specificity in the visualization of the omental vascular running and contrast perfusion, and has better ability to determine whether there is ischemia and associate secondary change. “whirlpool sign” is unique for the diagnosis of omental torsion. Duplex ultrasound can find “whirlpool sign” and loss of color signal of vascualrity in some cases of omental torsion. It should be addressed that color Doppler flow imaging is usually not able to detect blood vessels in the great omentum. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound can find defect of vascular perfusion in the region of the great omentum with necrosis, while there was discussion on this technique. It should be addressed that “whirlpool sign” can only be detected in part cases of omental torsion. Ovary torsion has “whirlpool sign” and abdominal emergency, and differential diagnosis is required. The report was written in English awkwardly, not meeting native English and standardized professional expression. Of Figure 1. There were no arrows to indicate “whirlpool sign” of omental torsion.

Recent studies suggest that patients with IBD ( UC and chronic ) have a significantly higher about 2.5 times risk of developing dementia,including Alzheimer’s disease and are diagnosed at a younger age. This association may be due to the intestinal inflammation caused by IBD, disruption of intestinal flora and dysfunction of the gut-brain axis sharing a common pathway with the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease (such as amyloid beta accumulation),and it is possible that improving the intestinal environment may lead to the prevention of dementia."

"This study clearly highlights the importance and contribution of AI in the diagnosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumors in daily clinical practice. It is known that rectal endocrine tumors present significant diagnostic difficulties because they are often considered as hyperplastic polyps and are either not removed and therefore not subjected to histological evaluation, or are removed as normal polyps. The consequence is that diagnosis is delayed or requires subsequent complementary imaging and/or endoscopic examination. The authors developed an image analysis and detection model for rectal neuroendocrine tumors using the YOLOv7 algorithm. This algorithm demonstrated significant diagnostic accuracy, exceeding that of most endoscopes with which it was compared. It has been repeatedly emphasized that AI is expected to revolutionize the diagnosis of many gastrointestinal diseases, including rectal endocrine tumors. We experience this to a large extent in daily clinical practice. However, it should be emphasized that the effectiveness of this system in detecting neuroendocrine rectal tumors should be investigated and evaluated in future large, multicenter studies."

"1. The authors have projected the cardiotoxicity as a sequel of chemotherapy relevant to LMIC in perspective, documenting the follow up timings 2. The importance of the follow up and its necessity is also well brought out in the light of current literature 3. The relevance of cardiotoxicity lies in the drug / regime and the dosage. Especially if the patient was administered more than the expected maximal dosage. This can be included for better understanding. " [Collapse]

"The article entitled Evolving trends in hepatitis A epidemiology: Shifting patterns, emerging risks, and future strategies is well written article but some comments to be considered: - Most of the studies included in the review article depend on seroprevalence of the disease that is mean it depend on detection of antibodies which of course of low speceficity as diagnosis of HAV infection must depend on isolation of the virus by real time PCR especially in endemic areas to avoid false positive results. - There is some redunduncy and reptition of the data (e.g Endemicity in the era of vaccination and improving living standards -- Changing epidemiology of hepatitis A " [Collapse]
