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.

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.

Abscisic acid, a plant hormone that inhibits growth, is a key factor in balancing plant endogenous hormones and regulating growth and metabolism. Abscisic acid can improve the drought resistance and salt tolerance of crops, reduce fruit browning, reduce the incidence rate of malaria and stimulate insulin secretion, so it has a broad application potential in agriculture and medicine. Compared with traditional plant extraction and chemical synthesis, abscisic acid synthesis by microorganisms is an economic and sustainable route. At present, a lot of progress has been made in the synthesis of abscisic acid by natural microorganisms such as Botrytis cinerea and Cercospora rosea, while the research on the synthesis of abscisic acid by engineered microorganisms is rarely reported. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yarrowia lipolytica and Escherichia coli are common hosts for heterologous synthesis of natural products due to their advantages of clear genetic background, easy operation and friendliness for industrial production. Therefore, the heterologous synthesis of abscisic acid by microorganisms is a more promising production method. The author reviews the research on the heterologous synthesis of abscisic acid by microorganisms from five aspects: selection of chassis cells, screening and expression enhancement of key enzymes, regulation of cofactors, enhancement of precursor supply and promotion of abscisic acid efflux. Finally, the future development direction of this field is prospected.

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.
