To investigate the clinical outcomes of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment in patients with duodenal variceal bleeding, a retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of patients with ectopic duodenal variceal bleeding diagnosed and treated endoscopically at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, from August 2011 to December 2024. Five male patients (mean age 50.4 years) were included. Etiologies included alcohol-related cirrhosis (1 case), hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis (2 cases), autoimmune disease-associated portal hypertension (1 case), and thrombophilia-related portal hypertension (1 case). Immediate hemostasis was achieved endoscopically in all cases. Two patients (1 alcohol-related and 1 hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis) exhibited persistent decline in hemoglobin levels post-procedure and received sequential interventional therapy before discharge. The remaining 3 patients recovered uneventfully. Duodenal variceal bleeding, though rare and life-threatening, can be effectively managed through multidisciplinary collaboration. Endoscopic hemostasis should be prioritized when technically feasible.

OBJECTIVE To mine and analyze the adverse drug events （ADE） signals of two camptothecin topoisomerase 1 inhibitors， i.e. irinotecan and topotecan， and to provide reference for clinical medication safety. METHODS Based on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） database， ADE report data for the aforementioned two drugs were extracted from January 1， 2004 to March 31， 2023. After processing the data， signal mining was conducted by using the reporting odds ratio in conjunction with the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network， followed by analysis. RESULTS A total of 14 738 relevant ADE reports were screened， among which 11 483 were associated with irinotecan and 3 255 with topotecan. The ADE reports for irinotecan were predominantly male， whereas for topotecan， they were predominantly female； the age of patients using the two drugs mainly concentrated in 45-＜75 years old. A total of 847 signals were detected， involving 24 system organ classes （SOCs）. Among them， 565 signals of irinotecan were detected， involving 24 SOCs， primarily concentrating on gastrointestinal disorders， general disorders and administration site conditions， blood and lymphatic system disorders； the most frequently reported ADE was diarrhea， and the ADE with the strongest signal intensity was cholinergic syndrome. A total of 282 signals of topotecan were detected， involving 22 SOCs， primarily concentrating on general disorders and administration site conditions， investigations， blood and lymphatic system disorders， and gastrointestinal disorders； the most frequently reported ADEs were death and anemia， and the ADE with the strongest signal intensity was febrile bone marrow aplasia. ADE signals for irinotecan such as metastatic colorectal cancer， peripheral sensory neuropathy， steatohepatitis， and those for topotecan such as iris atrophy， retinal degeneration， vitreous hemorrhage， were not documented in their respective drug instruction. CONCLUSIONS ADEs of irinotecan and topotecan primarily involve the digestive and hematologic systems， warranting close clinical monitoring. Cholinergic syndrome caused by irinotecan should be concerned. In addition， patients receiving irinotecan should also be monitored for ADE such as metastatic colorectal cancer， peripheral sensory neuropathy， steatohepatitis， and proteinuria； for patients using topotecan， enhanced surveillance of ocular diseases is recommended to ensure medication safety.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of long board detector of digital radiography(DR)in clinical application.Methods:The long board detector(detector)was erected and placed upright.The scale long ruler with marked metal lead wire was placed at 20 cm in front of the center of long axis of the board of detector,which paralleled medial axis.Three test cards of spatial resolution were respectively placed at three positions(upper,middle and lower)of detector,and they were stuck on the board of detector as 30cm intervals between each other and 45° position.The exposures were conducted at 100,150,and 200 cm of source image distance(SID).The incident doses were tested,which obtained from different SID spots of upper,middle and lower positions of detector.The spatial resolutions of 3 positions were determined through observed the images of cards.The ratio of the marked scale length with metal lead wire to actual length of lead wire was measured through the projection of the scale length,so as to obtain the amplification rate of different spot positions.The spatial distribution of effective focal plane on the direction of long axis of detector,and the morphological change of that were observed.Results:When SID spots were respectively 100,150 and 200cm,the amplification rates of images decreased with increasing SID.The difference of amplification rates among three SID spots was significant(F=223.80,P<0.001).There was significant difference in the corresponding radiation doses among different SID spots(F=7.57,P<0.05).The spatial resolution was constantly 1.8 LP/mm.There was heel effect along with the direction of short axis of detector.The effective focal spot on the direction of long axis of detector appeared up-down symmetrical display.Conclusion:The long board detector of DR equipment has realized the capture for the images of the overall length of spine or the overall length of lower limbs in one exposure,which can meet the clinical requirement,and improve the detection efficiency of X-ray.

Objective To explore the experience of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of residual malformation of urachus with children.Methods The clinical date of 10 children with urachal remnants malformation treated by Da Vinci Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery in Wuhan Children's Hospital from July 2021 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery was used to analyze the intraoperative situation,postoperative complications,surgical effect and pathological results.Results All 10 cases were treated by Da Vinci Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery without Laparotomy and complete excision,while maintain the umbilical integrality,8 cases with symptoms were resected after preoperative imaging diagnosis,1 case was asymptomatic and resected due to continuous enlargement of the cyst,and 1 case was found to be resected during other operations.The average operation time was(140.70±17.66)min,the median blood loss was 7.5(4.5,27.5)ml,the postoperative urethral catheterization was(6.2±1.26)d,the hospital stay was(9.9±0.94)d and the average cost was(46378.92±2777.13)yuan.All the urachal remnants were confirmed by Pathology as 9 cases of urachal cysts and 1 case of urachal fistula.Conclusion Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of urachal remnants malformation in children,the surgical procedure for resected repair of the anterior abdominal wall has unique advantages.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with single peroral choledochoscopy (SpyGlass) system for transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy, and to assess the feasibility of negative pressure suction for complete removal of gallbladder stones and prevention of recurrence, data of 4 patients with gallbladder stones, who received transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy through ERCP combined with SpyGlass with method of negative pressure suction at Endoscopy Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. The procedure success rate, stone removal rate, the time of cystic duct cannulation, the time of stone removal and incidence of postoperative complication were recorded. The technique success rate of ERCP combined with SpyGlass was 100%, and the stone removal rate was also 100%. The time of cystic duct cannulation was 6-30 min, 2 patients were cannulated via X ray, and the time of cystic duct cannulation was 20 min and 30 min respectively; the other 2 patients were cannulated via SpyGlass, and the time of cystic duct cannulation was 6 min and 8 min respectively. The time of stone removal was 8-20 min, stones of 1 patient were crashed by laser lithotrisy followed by extraction basket due to diameter larger than 1 cm. Stones of all patients were completely removed by using extraction basket and the method of negative pressure suction. No severe adverse event occurred. There was no recurrence of gallbladder stone during the follow-up of 8.5-24.0 months. It is preliminarily believed that endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy is safe and effective due to its super minimally invasive advantages, which is worth of further clinical application.

Methods: Seven human lumbopelvic spines were used, each affixed to six-degrees-of-freedom testing apparatus; 8.5-Nm pure unconstrained bending moments applied in flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation. The ROM of left and right SIJ was measured using a motion analysis system. Each specimen tested as (1) intact, (2) injury (left), (3) L5–S1 fixation, (4) unilateral stabilization (left), (5) unilateral stabilization+L5–S1 fixation, (6) bilateral stabilization, and (7) bilateral stabilization+L5–S1 fixation. Both left-sided iliosacral and posterior ligaments were cut for injury condition to model SIJ instability before surgery. Results: There were no statistical differences between fixated and contralateral nonfixated SIJ ROM following unilateral stabilization with/without L5–S1 fixation for all loading directions (p>0.930). Injured condition and L5–S1 fixation provided the largest motion increases across both joints; no significant differences were recorded between SIJs in any loading direction (p>0.850). Unilateral and bilateral stabilization with/without L5–S1 fixation reduced ROM compared with the injured condition for both SIJs, with bilateral stabilization providing maximum stability. Conclusions In the cadaveric model, unilateral SIJ stabilization with/without lumbosacral fixation did not lead to significant contralateral SIJ hypermobility; long-term changes and in vivo response may differ.

Objective:To report the sampling study design and radiography protocol of a large-sample investigation on skeletal maturation of 3 to 18-year-old children in China.Methods:Multi-stage stratified random sampling was employed in this study. Two provinces, municipalities, or autonomous regions were randomly selected from each of the seven regions of China, including Northeast China, Northwest China, North China, Central China, East China, Southwest China, and South China. Then one rural and one urban investigation site were randomly selected from each province, municipality, or autonomous region. In total 28 sites were included. Among those sites, four residential districts were randomly selected from each urban site, and four townships from each rural site. For each residential district or township, 1-4 kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools were chosen. Random cluster sampling was used to extract 3-<6-year-old children in kindergartens, and 6-18-year-old children in primary schools and middle schools. The investigation on skeletal maturation was sampled proportionate to the sampling of the whole study. The estimated simple size was 780 for each site, and 21 840 for all 28 sites in total. There were six groups of 3-<6-year-old children classified at 0.5-year intervals, and 12 groups of 6-18-year-old children classified at 1-year intervals. Posteroanterior position radiography of the left hand and wrist was achieved for all subjects.Results:The study was performed from August 26, 2019 to October 16, 2021. In total, 20 444 children received posteroanterior position radiography of the left hand and wrist, including 10 196 males and 10 248 females, 9 711 urban and 10 733 rural, respectively. The 3-<6-year-old group included 1 611 (male 819, female 792) subjects, and the 6 to 18-year-old group included 18 833 (male 9 377, female 9 456) subjects.Conclusion:This nationwide investigation on skeletal maturation of 3 to 18-year-old children in seven regions of China was successfully preformed. The results of this study can provide an important reference for establishing the current evaluation criteria of bone age in Chinese children and adolescents.

Objective:To evaluate the applicability of bone age (BA) assessment methods and to investigate the difference between BA and chronological age (CA) based on the data of children in rural areas of Beijing.Methods:A total of 412 healthy children (226 boys, 186 girls) with the age 8.6 (6.8, 10.3) years old were included in this study. The data of the prospective study were from a subgroup of the project "National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey for 0-18 Years Old Children in China", which included children with age of 3-12 years old in Beijing rural areas. The non-dominant hand-wrist radiographs of all participants were obtained in April 2021. The Dr.Wise BA detection and analysis system was used to assess the BA according to the Tanner Whitehouse 3 (TW3) radius-ulna-short bone score (TW3-RUS), TW3 carpal bone score (TW3-Carpal), China-05 TW3-Chinese RUS (TW3-C RUS), China-05 TW3-Chinese carpal (TW3-C Carpal), and Greulich-Pyle (G-P) standards. The cases were stratified by the sex and different CA in the statistical analysis. The estimated BA obtained using different methods were compared with the CA using Wilcoxon signed ranks test.Results:The sex-stratified results showed that no significant difference was found between the estimated BA using G-P standards and CA in boys ( Z=-0.694, P=0.488), while all the other estimated BA results were statistically significantly higher than CA ( P<0.05). Stratified by both sex and CA, the estimated BA using G-P standards in 4-6 years old boy groups, as well as the estimated BA using TW3-Carpal and TW3-C Carpal standards in 11-12 years old girl groups were lower than CA, while in the other groups, the estimated BA were higher than CA. Conclusions:There were varying degrees of deviations in the BA estimations using TW3, China 05, and G-P methods for children in rural areas of Beijing. It is imperative to establish a new standard for the BA evaluation of the contemporary Chinese children.
