Objective:To evaluate long-term outcomes of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) for duodenal papillary adenomas and to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Methods:Clinical data of 180 patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenoma via postoperative pathology after EP in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2010 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on their postoperative margin status: the complete resection group (negative resection margins) and the incomplete resection group (positive/uncertain resection margins). Recurrence rates were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for incomplete resection.Results:Among the 180 patients included in the study, 137 underwent complete resection, and 43 had incomplete resections. Recurrence rate was significantly higher in the incomplete resection group than that in the complete resection group (30.2% VS 15.3%, χ2=4.75, P=0.029). logistic regression analysis indicated that high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was an independent risk factor for incomplete resection ( OR=2.43, 95% CI:1.12-5.26, P=0.024). Conclusion:Patients with incomplete resection after EP have a higher recurrence rate in the long-term follow-up. High-grade intraepithelial neoplasia is an independent risk factor for incomplete resection. Close surveillance and aggressive management are warranted for patients with positive or uncertain resection margins to mitigate the recurrence risk.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and clinical significance of serum immunoglob-ulins in patients with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome(CCS).Methods This retrospective study included CCS patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2009 to September 2024 who under-went serum immunoglobulin testing.Clinical manifestations and ancillary examination results were analyzed ret-rospectively.Results Fifty-two patients were included(male:36[69.2%],female:16[30.8%]),with median onset age of 60(54-64)years and median diagnostic delay of 5(3-12)months.Common manifesta-tions included diarrhea(86.5%),abdominal pain(40.4%),hematochezia(19.2%),weight loss(86.5%),nail malnutrition(100.0%),pigmentation(88.5%),hair loss(84.6%),and hypogeusia(69.2%).Serum IgG reduction occurred in 21 patients(50.0%),while total IgE elevation was observed in 20(71.4%).Elevated serum IgG4 levels were noted in 11 patients(23.4%),with no significant clinical differences between IgG4-elevated and normal groups.IgG4 levels showed no statistical difference between active(n=43)and remission(n=27)groups.The hair loss rate was significantly higher in the total IgE-ele-vated group than that in the normal total IgE group(P=0.0383).Conclusions CCS patients exhibit periph-eral blood immunoglobulin disorders,with elevated IgE levels correlating with hair loss.This suggests an im-mune-mediated mechanism may underlie hair loss in CCS.

Objective:The clinical symptoms of children with global developmental delay (GDD) were analyzed to provide the scientific basis for the intervention of children with GDD.Methods:The results of the neuro-psychobehavioral scale were collected from 32 511 children with GDD from June 2020 to November 2023. Inclusion criteria: Children diagnosed with GDD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-V, ages 0.0 to 4.9 years. Exclusion criteria: children with common hearing impairment and visual impairment. The Chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis.Results:There were more boys than girls with GDD in outpatient clinics (68.2% vs. 31.8%). Among the children, the proportion of developmental delay in 5, 4, 3, and 2 domains was 31.1%, 23.4%, 22.9% and 22.6% respectively. The rate of delay in 2-3 domains was lower in boys (41.9%) than in girls (53.1%). The rate of delay in 4-5 domains was higher in boys (58.1%) than in girls (46.9%) ( χ2=352.11, P<0.001). Overall, outpatient GDD decreased with age. From 1.0-1.9 to 4.0-4.9 years of age, the proportion of children with developmental delay in 5 domains increased with age (18.2%, 36.4%, 43.9%, 52.4%). Among children aged 0.0-0.9 years, the proportion of 2 domains of developmental delay was higher (33.4%).Among children aged 1.0-1.9 years, the proportion of 2-3 domains of developmental delay was higher (30.7%). Among children aged 2.0-, 3.0-, 4.0-4.9 years, the proportion of developmental delay in 5 domains was higher (36.4%, 43.9%, 52.4%). In children with GDD, the fine motor delay occurred most frequently (85.1%), followed by social self-care (83.9%), language (79.0%), adaptation (62.3%), and gross motor (52.8%). The frequency of developmental delays in fine motor, adaptability, language, and social self-care in boys was higher than that in girls ( χ2=161.37, χ2=41.10, χ2=320.90, χ2=238.54, all P<0.001). The age groups with the highest delay incidence of gross motor, fine motor, adaptability, language, and social self-care were: 4.0-4.9 years (70.6%), 3.0-3.9 years (97.4%), 4.0-4.9 years (81.2%), 2.0-2.9 years (90.9%),2.0-2.9 years (95.4%). The proportions of fine motor delay in GDD children aged 0.0-0.9, 3.0-3.9 and 4.0-4.9 years were (74.5%, 97.4%, 96.8%) and the proportions of social self-care delay in GDD children aged 1.0- and 2.0-2.9 years were (92.1%, 95.4%). Peripheral and mild developmental delays were predominant in children with GDD. The proportion of severe language delay (6.4%) was higher than that in other fields. Conclusions:The proportion of GDD children with developmental delay in 4-5 domains was 54.5%. The most frequent domain of delay was fine motor. The frequencies of developmental delays in fine motor skills, adaptability, language, and social self-care in boys were higher than in girls. Most of the developmental delays in GDD children were marginal and mild. The rate of severe developmental delay in language was higher than in other domains.

Objective:To explore the surgical efficacy of high position dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) under nasal endoscopy in patients with chronic dacryocystitis secondary to failure of nasolacrimal duct stent implantation.Methods:A total of 101 patients with chronic dacryocystitis who were treated at People′s Hospital of Peking University from 2013 to 2024 were retrospectively selected, including 14 males and 87 females, aged (56.82±13.00) years (Mean±SD). The patients were divided into control group (53 cases, 59 eyes) and stent group (48 cases, 60 eyes). The control group consisted of randomly selected patients with simple dacryocystitis, while, the stent group included patients with secondary dacryocystitis after failure of nasolacrimal duct stent implantation. All patients underwent endoscopic high DCR with exposed the Rosenmüller valve, combined with intraoperative lacrimal silicone tube implantation. After the operation, the surgical efficacy was evaluated by methods such as Munk score, endoscopic observation of intranasal ostia, lacrimal duct irrigation, and fluorescein test. SPSS 27.0 software was used for data statistics.Results:All 101 patients were followed up for at least one year after DCR surgery. In the control group, one patient (two eyes) was lost to follow-up; while, in the stent group, three patients (three eyes) were lost to follow-up, with one case diagnosed with lacrimal sac cancer. Excluding the lost-to-follow-up cases and the patient with lacrimal sac cancer, anatomical success was achieved in 54 eyes (96.4%, 54/56) in the stent group, and both anatomical and functional success in 53 eyes (94.6%, 53/56); in the control group, 55 eyes (96.5%, 55/57) achieved both anatomical and functional success. No statistically significant difference was found in postoperative effectiveness efficacy between the two groups ( χ2=0.000, P=0.984). Conclusion:For patients with secondary dacryocystitis after nasolacrimal duct stent implantation, high position DCR with exposure of Rosenmüller valve combined with lacrimal duct silicone intubation can achieve better long-term efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), and cardiovascular calcification in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), and to evaluate their predictive value for cardiovascular calcification.Methods:This retrospective case-control analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 362 patients with chronic kidney disease who underwent regular hemodialysis for >3 months at the Hemodialysis Center of the Second People′s Hospital of Hefei from December 2018 to December 2023. Patients were divided into a cardiovascular calcification group (216 cases) and a cardiovascular non-calcification group (146 cases). The cardiovascular calcification group was further categorized according to different calcification sites, with 69 cases in the vascular calcification group, 79 in the valve calcification group, and 68 in the vascular and valve calcification group. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between cardiovascular calcification and various indicators. Risk factors for cardiovascular calcification in patients with MHD were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. The predictive value of the NLR and MHR for cardiovascular calcification was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:This study enrolled 362 cases, including 233 males and 129 females aged 29-89 years. Age, the NLR, and the MHR were positively correlated with cardiovascular calcification in patients on MHD ( r=0.338, 0.383, and 0.391, respectively, all P<0.05). In contrast, serum magnesium was negatively correlated with cardiovascular calcification ( r=-0.169, P<0.05). Age ( OR=1.063, 95% CI 1.036-1.092, P<0.001), male sex ( OR=2.017, 95% CI 1.104-3.685, P=0.023), neutrophil count ( OR=1.737, 95% CI 1.326-2.276, P<0.001), the NLR ( OR=1.722, 95% CI 1.310-2.263, P<0.001), and the MHR ( OR=1.352, 95% CI 1.153-1.586, P<0.001) were identified as independent risk factors for cardiovascular calcification in patients on MHD. Serum magnesium ( OR=0.034, 95% CI 0.001-0.797, P=0.036) was a protective factor. The combined area under the curve (AUC) of the NLR and MHR was the largest (AUC=0.804, 95% CI 0.759-0.850); the AUC for the NLR and MHR used alone was 0.725 (95% CI 0.672-0.779) and 0.730 (95% CI 0.677-0.783), respectively. Conclusions:The MHR, and the NLR are independent risk factors for cardiovascular calcification in patients with MHD. The combination of the MHR and NLR has a greater clinical predictive value for cardiovascular calcification.

Objective To compare the recovery rate of frozen platelets prepared by pooled buffy coats(PBCs)under different standing time points,so as to improve the preparation method of platelets.Methods The whole blood(400 ml)were collected from 50 blood donators,and was equally divided into 1-hour group(standing time of buffy coat pooled platelet for 1 h,n=50)and 24-hour group(standing time of buffy coat pooled platelet for 24 h,n=50).The concentrated platelets were stored at-80℃.The recovery rate and morphology of the platelet were compared between the two groups one month later.Results The platelet count and recovery rate of the frozen platelet in the 24-hour group were higher than those in the 1-hour group([2.45±0.13]×109 vs.[2.32±0.10]×109,83.55%±5.42%vs.79.32%±5.75%,both P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the average platelet volume,platelet distribution width,pH,P-selectin,or residual red blood cells between the two groups.Conclusion Residual red blood cells and platelet count from PBCs under different standing time points meet the national quality standards.The buffy coat pooled platelet count and recovery rate of 24-hour standing are higher than those of 1-hour standing.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of platelet transfusion refractoriness(PTR)in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT)and its influence on the prognosis of the patients.Methods A total of 104 patients who underwent HSCT in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from February 2018 to February 2021 were enrolled and assigned to PTR group(n=36)or non-PTR group(n=68).The clinical data of the two groups were collected to investigate PTR-related factors in HSCT patients.The patients were followed up for 3 years after transplantation,and the survival and the influence of PTR on the prognosis were analyzed.Results The proportions of no platelet antibody matching,blood transfusion≥6 times,high fever,splenomegaly,infection,and skin and mucous membrane bleeding in the PTR group were significantly higher than those in the non-PTR group(P<0.05).The platelet count on admission in the PTR group was significantly lower than that in the non-PTR group(P<0.05).No platelet antibody matching(β=-0.837),blood transfusion≥6 times(β=0.905),high fever(β=0.516),splenomegaly(β=0.773),and infection(β=0.695)were independent risk factors of PTR in HSCT patients(P<0.05).The rates of overall survival(OS)and recurrence-free survival(RFS)in the PTR group were significantly lower than those in the non-PTR group(P<0.05).After multivariate adjustment,PTR was associated with poorer OS(HR=2.764,95%CI:1.267-6.643)and RFS(HR=2.139,95%CI:1.046-5.114).Conclusion The occurrence of PTR in HSCT patients is related to platelet antibody matching,blood transfusion frequency,high fever,splenomegaly,and infection.PTR can affect the prognosis of HSCT patients,and shorten the OS and RFS.
