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 incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma by comparing the differences in clinical and endoscopic features between patients with duodenal papillary adenomas and adenocarcinomas.Methods:This study retrospectively included patients diagnosed as having duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma and adenoma from January 1st 2018 to June 1st 2023 at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. Demographic, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of patients with adenomas and adenocarcinomas were collected and compared. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify high-risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma.Results:A total of 119 cases of adenocarcinoma and 171 cases of adenoma were included. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of patient age, body mass index (BMI), clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, pancreatic duct dilation, lesion size, adenoma site classification, stage assessed by EUS, and involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, involvement of the bile and pancreatic ducts assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, lesion size ≥1.5 cm, clinical symptoms, family history of malignant tumors, bile duct dilation, and pancreatic duct dilation were risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-ampullary lesions ( OR=7.00, 95% CI:1.44-34.15, P=0.016), involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS ( OR=13.77, 95% CI: 4.69-40.45, P<0.001), age ≥60 years ( OR=2.52, 95% CI: 1.23-5.18, P=0.011), bile duct dilation ( OR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.12-5.94, P=0.026), and lesion size ≥1.5 cm ( OR=2.76, 95% CI:1.36-5.59, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:This study shows the independent risk factors for duodenal papillary adenocarcinoma, which include non-ampullary lesions, involvement not limited to the major duodenal papilla assessed by EUS, age ≥60 years, bile duct dilation, and lesion size ≥1.5 cm.

Objective:To understand the current status of gastroscopy in diagnosing gastric lesions in general population, and to recommend the optimal age for the first gastroscopy and intervals for repeated gastroscopy.Methods:The gastroscopy records of residents aged 18-80 years in Yinzhou District of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, between April 2010 and December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The detections of gastric lesions across different years, age and genders were described. Goodness of fit tests were applied to compare the differences in detection rates of different lesions in first-time endoscopy in different age groups and different populations. Generalized additive models were used to fit the trend of age specific gastric lesion detection rate explore the optimal age for gastroscopy. The appropriate gastroscopy intervals were determined according to the progress of the gastric lesions detected in repeated gastroscopy.Results:A total of 237 751 participants with 344 398 gastroscopy records were included in analyses. A total of 5 597 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), 9 796 cases of intestinal metaplasia (IM), 165 cases of low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), 52 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) and 435 cases of gastric cancer were detected by the first gastroscopy. The overall detection rate of gastric lesions increased significantly in age group 45-70 years, and remained stable after 70 years old, with LGIN and HGIN showing notable increases at 50 and 55 years old, respectively. Repeated gastroscopy detected CAG, IM, LGIN, and HGIN at a higher rate compared with the first gastroscopy. Normal/superficial gastritis progressed in 3-5 years, whereas CAG or more severe lesions progressed in 1-6 years.Conclusion:Gastroscopy is recommended for general population aged 45 years and above. Furthermore, gastroscopy can be performed every 3-5 years for individuals with normal endoscopy results and once a year for patients with CAG or more severe gastric lesions.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the risk factors for cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced coagulation dysfunction in adult patients. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI， VIP， CBM， Wanfang data， PubMed， Embase and Cochrane Library， randomized controlled trial （RCT）， case-control study or cohort study about cefoperazone/sulbactam-induced coagulation dysfunction in adult patients were collected from the inception to Apr. 30th， 2023. After literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation， meta-analysis was carried out by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included， among which 11 studies were case-control studies， and 2 studies were cohort studies， involving 18 387 patients in total. Meta- analysis showed that the proportion of advanced age [OR＝2.04， 95%CI （1.14， 3.64）， P＝0.02]， liver insufficiency [OR＝5.95， 95%CI （4.21， 8.40）， P＜0.000 01]， renal insufficiency [OR＝3.51， 95%CI （3.04， 4.05）， P＜0.001]， hypoproteinemia [OR＝ 1.90， 95%CI（1.37， 2.62）， P＜0.001]， poor diet [OR＝7.25， 95%CI （5.13， 10.24）， P＜0.000 01]， daily dose of cefoperazone/ sulbactam ≥9 g [OR＝3.95， 95%CI （2.45，6.37）， P＜0.001]， medication duration of cefoperazone/sulbactam ≥10 d [OR＝2.43， 95%CI （1.81， 3.28）， P＜0.001]， combined use of anticoagulant drugs [OR＝2.84， 95%CI （2.03， 3.97）， P＜0.001]， combined with malignant tumor [OR＝1.60， 95%CI （1.20， 2.15），P＜0.001] in patients with abnormal coagulation function were significantly higher than those with normal coagulation function. CONCLUSIONS Advanced age， liver insufficiency， renal insufficiency， complicated with malignant tumors and hypoalbuminemia， combined use of anticoagulant drugs， poor diet， daily dose ≥9 g， and medication duration≥10 days are risk factors for coagulation dysfunction caused by cefoperazone/sulbactam.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, treatment and prognosis of gastric intermediate-risk gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), so as to provide a reference for clinical management and further research. Methods: A retrospective observational study of patients with gastric intermediate-risk GIST, who underwent surgical resection between January 1996 and December 2019 at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, was carried out. Results: Totally, 360 patients with a median age of 59 years were included. There were 190 males and 170 females with median tumor diameter of 5.9 cm. Routine genetic testing was performed in 247 cases (68.6%, 247/360), and 198 cases (80.2%) showed KIT mutation, 26 cases (10.5%) showed PDGFRA mutation, and 23 cases were wild-type GIST. According to "Zhongshan Method"(including 12 parameters), there were 121 malignant and 239 non-malignant cases. Complete follow-up data were available in 241 patients; 55 patients (22.8%) received imatinib therapy, 10 patients (4.1%) experienced tumor progression, and one patient (PDGFRA mutation, 0.4%) died. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rate at 5 years was 96.0% and 99.6%, respectively. Among the intermediate-risk GIST, there was no difference in DFS between the overall population, KIT mutation, PDGFRA mutation, wild-type, non-malignant and malignant subgroups (all P>0.05). However, the non-malignancy/malignancy analysis showed that there were significant differences in DFS among the overall population (P<0.01), imatinib treatment group (P=0.044) and no imatinib treatment group (P<0.01). Adjuvant imatinib resulted in potential survival benefit for KIT mutated malignant and intermediate-risk GIST in DFS (P=0.241). Conclusions: Gastric intermediate-risk GIST shows a heterogeneous biologic behavior spectrum from benign to highly malignant. It can be further classified into benign and malignant, mainly nonmalignant and low-grade malignant. The overall disease progression rate after surgical resection is low, and real-world data show that there is no significant benefit from imatinib treatment after surgery. However, adjuvant imatinib potentially improves DFS of intermediate-risk patients with tumors harboring KIT mutation in the malignant group. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of gene mutations in benign/malignant GIST will facilitate improvements in therapeutic decision-making.
