Features: This book serves as a continuing medical education text, graduate textbook, and reference for medical students, presenting systematic and focused introductions to digestive system diseases in the form of lectures or reviews. The entire book adheres to the principles of novelty and practicality, striving for two aspects of innovation—content (new technologies and theories) and style (each lecture or disease focuses on key issues, offering in-depth discussions, differing from general textbooks). For diseases with significant recent advancements, such as viral hepatitis, primary liver cancer, gastrointestinal functional disorders, and early diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers, separate entries are provided for detailed introductions to fully reflect the academic progress in the field of gastroenterology since the late 1990s. The references in the second edition are updated to 2005, with some important content also being revised. Another feature of this book is its focus on diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing practicality while integrating theory with practice, aiming to help readers solve clinical problems after reading. In addition to the diagnosis and treatment of digestive system diseases, the book also covers advancements in experimental diagnostics and special therapies for these conditions. This book is suitable for clinical physicians and graduate students in internal medicine, gastroenterology, oncology, and general surgery, as well as medical technologists engaged in imaging and experimental diagnostics. It serves as a textbook for continuing medical education and graduate studies, and can also be used as a reference for senior medical students. This book was awarded the 2005 Jiangsu Province Higher Education Teaching (Textbook) Achievement Award.
