Different Lugol's Solution Concentration for Image Quality of Esophageal Lesions in Chromoendoscopy With Iodine Staining

Phase 4
Conditions
Image Quality of Early Esophageal Squamous Neoplasia
Endoscopists'Subjective Assessments
Interventions
Drug: 1.2% Lugol's solution
Drug: 1.0% Lugol's solution
Drug: 0.8% Lugol's solution
Drug: 0.6% Lugol's solution
Drug: 0.4% Lugol's solution
Registration Number
NCT03180970
Lead Sponsor
Shandong University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether lower Lugol's solution concentration can perceive the same image quality of early esophageal squamous neoplasia.

Detailed Description

Chromoendoscopy using Lugol's solution is effective for the detection of early esophageal squamous neoplasia. However, this modality may cause severe chest pain and discomfort owing to mucosal irritation.

This study was to test whether a lower concentration of Lugol's solution can provide satisfied image quality of early esophageal squamous neoplasia and has lower mucosal irritation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Image Quality of Esophageal Lesionsseven months

Evaluated by Image J software (National Institutes of Health)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Severe adverse events (allergic reactions, esophageal burns, spasms and even perforation)1 month
Questionnaire of endoscopists' subjective assessmentsintraoperative

The picture will be rated for quality according to color contrast of esophageal lesions after iodine sprayed by the endoscopist performing the examination

Complete resection/R0 resection rate1 month
The amount of Lugol's solutionintraoperative
Mucosal change of the stomach in white-light endoscopy after Lugol's solution sprayed.intraoperative

The endoscopic findings of the greater curvature of the gastric body where the agent collected will be evaluated based on the following findings:fold thickening, exudates, ulcers, and hemorrhage.
