Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is to determine the feasibility and safety of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy system in examination of human colon under the real time monitoring by colonoscopy in the clinical application.

Detailed Description

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the Western world. The screening tests include flexible sigmoidoscopy, optical colonoscopy (OC), double-contrast barium enema , or CT colonography . Such screening can reduce CRC incidence and mortality but its effectiveness depends on its quality, ease of use, and patient adherence .Colon capsule endoscopy(CCE) is being actively evaluated as an emerging complementary or alternative procedure for evaluation of the colon. magnetic -controlled capsule endoscopy system is a new ingestible colon capsule robot provided by Chongqing Jinshan Science & Technology. While Screening the colon, the capsule is drove by magnetic-manipulator outside the body, which means it can move from the cecum to anus step by step under the control of the doctor. However, there's little data report on this colon capsule robot system in clinical application. The investigators plan to conduct this prospective study to determine the feasibility and safety of magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy system in examination of human colon under the real time monitoring by colonoscopy.

Arms & Interventions

MCCES

Experimental

Magnetic -controlled capsule endoscopy system (MCCES) is a robot system that the capsule would be swallowed to observe the mucosa of the human alimentary canal especially the colon under the control of the magnetic-manipulator.

Intervention: magnetic-controlled capsule endoscopy system (Procedure)

Colonoscopy

Active Comparator

Colonoscopy has now been in use for many years to visualize and diagnose abnormalities of the colon and it is the gold standard for detecting colorectal lesions.In this study,the additional utility of the colonoscopy is to monitor the movement of the Magnetic -controlled capsule endoscopy.

Intervention: Colonoscopy (Procedure)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Maneuverability

Time Frame: From the MCCES examination began until the capsule excreted, an expected average of 24h

The Maneuverability was defined as the rotation, somersault, Bird's-eye view, worm's eye view of the capsule, and completing any motion would gain 1 point, eventually ,4 point was good,2-3 point moderate,0-1point poor.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Migration length of anus direction(From the MCCES examination began until the capsule excreted, an expected average of 24h)
  • The movement of mouth direction(From the MCCES examination began until the capsule excreted, an expected average of 24h)
  • The level of cleanliness(From the MCCES examination began until the capsule excreted, an expected average of 24h)
  • Procedure related complication(From the day of the examination until the follow up ended ,access up to 7 days.)
  • Nidus of colon(During the procedure)
