Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of endoscopic treatment of superficial non-ampullary duodenal adenoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data and follow-up information of patients diagnosed with superficial duodenal non-ampullary adenomas via preoperative endoscopy and treated endoscopically at Peking University First Hospital between January 2013 and January 2024. The overall en bloc resection rate, complete resection rate of the lesion, perioperative complications, and recurrence rates were evaluated. Patients were categorized into three groups based on their treatment modality: endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)（ n=46）, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)（ n=16）, and modified ESD (ESD with snare, ESD-S)（ n=24）. Comparative analyses were conducted to evaluate operative time, en bloc resection rate, and complete resection rate among the three groups. Results:Among 86 patients, the overall en bloc and complete resection rates were 87.2% (75/86) and 86.0% (74/86), respectively. No case of delayed bleeding was observed during the perioperative period. Intraoperative perforation occurred in two patients, both of whom improved following conservative management. Delayed perforation was noted in four patients, and three of them were successfully managed with surgical intervention, while one case was resolved after conservative treatment. During the follow-up period, local recurrence was identified in two patients. Following re-treatment with endoscopy and continuous surveillance, no further recurrence was observed. The operative times for the EMR group, ESD-S group, and ESD group were 4 (1-36) minutes, 25 (5-190) minutes, and 46 (5-150) minutes, respectively. Significant differences were observed in operative times among the three groups ( Hc=49.892, P<0.001). The en bloc resection rates for the EMR, ESD-S, and ESD groups were 80.4% (37/46), 91.7% (22/24), and 100.0% (16/16), respectively. The complete resection rates were 80.4% (37/46), 91.7% (22/24), and 93.8% (15/16) for the respective groups. Conclusion:Endoscopic treatment demonstrates favorable efficacy and safety for superficial non-ampullary duodenal adenoma. In addition to traditional EMR and ESD, ESD-S is also an effective procedure for endoscopic treatment of non-ampullary duodenal adenoma.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of polyethylene glycol (PEG) electrolyte powder versus oral sulfate solution (OSS) for bowel preparation and their impacts on colonoscopy quality.Methods:This single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study included patients who underwent colonoscopy with PEG or OSS at Endoscopy Center, central branch of Peking University First Hospital between January 1 st and December 31 st 2024. Indicators including bowel cleanliness score, adenoma detection rate (ADR), sessile serrated lesion detection rate (SSLDR) were analyzed, and age-stratified subgroup analysis were performed. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with excellent bowel cleanliness. The quality of colonoscopy under two bowel preparation regimens were evaluated. Results:A total of 15 936 patients with 13 321 in the PEG group and 2 615 in the OSS group were included. The PEG group had higher overall Boston bowel preparation scale score [8.00 (7.00, 8.00) VS 8.00 (6.00, 8.00), Z=-5.560, P<0.001], especially in the transverse and descending colon, and higher foam scores in the descending colon ( Z=-2.589, P=0.010). Use of PEG, female gender, afternoon examination, and younger age positively predicted excellent cleanliness. ADR [44.8% (5 965/13 321) VS 39.2% (1 024/2 615), P<0.001] and SSLDR [7.8% (1 035/13 321) VS 6.0% (157/2 615), P=0.002] were higher in the PEG group than those in the OSS group. Age stratification confirmed PEG's superiority in both >50 and ≤50 age groups, with ADRs of 54.0% (4 808/8 910) and 31.0% (2 181/7 026), respectively, and SSLDRs of 8.1% (721/8 910) and 6.7% (471/7 026), respectively. For those >50 years old, the PEG group detected more elevated polyps. Conclusion:While both regimens provide adequate bowel preparation, PEG regimen demonstrates superior cleansing quality, ADR, SSLDR, over OSS regimen, particularly in patients over 50 years old, and those with higher risk polyps.

A previous study showed that the length of the foreskin plays a role in the risk of sexually transmitted infections and chronic prostatitis, which can lead to poor quality of sexual life. Here, the association between foreskin length and sexual dysfunction was evaluated. A total of 5700 participants were recruited from the andrology clinic at The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei, China). Clinical characteristics, including foreskin length, were collected, and sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) questionnaires. Men with sexual dysfunction were more likely to have redundant foreskin than men without sexual dysfunction. Among the 2721 erectile dysfunction (ED) patients and 1064 premature ejaculation (PE) patients, 301 (11.1%) ED patients and 135 (12.7%) PE patients had redundant foreskin, respectively. Men in the PE group were more likely to have redundant foreskin than men in the non-PE group ( P = 0.004). Logistic regression analyses revealed that the presence of redundant foreskin was associated with increased odds of moderate/severe ED (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.31, adjusted P = 0.04), moderate PE (aOR = 1.38, adjusted P = 0.02), and probable PE (aOR = 1.37, adjusted P = 0.03) after adjusting for confounding variables. Our study revealed a positive correlation between the presence of redundant foreskin and the risk of sexual dysfunction, especially in PE patients. Assessment of the length of the foreskin during routine clinical diagnosis may provide information for patients with sexual dysfunction.

To address the economic challenge associated with acquiring labeled sample data for white paeony,a semi-supervised learning model based on metric learning and consistency constraints was proposed to predict the content of trace heavy metal pollutants Pb and Cd in white paeony.The model was comprised of two multi-task deep learning networks with the same structure but different parameters,namely the teacher model and the student model.The multi-task deep learning network utilized metric learning within the classification branch to ensure the clustering of different samples,thereby enhancing the predictive performance of the regression branch for heavy metal content in white peony samples.The student model effectively utilized unlabeled data by constraining the consistency of outputs between the teacher and student models.Experimental results showed that the proposed multi-task deep learning network combined with the regression subnetwork model significantly reduced the average relative errors of Pb and Cd in the test set to 7.01%and 8.16%when predicting trace heavy metal pollutants in paeony.Furthermore,after integrating the metric learning loss function-constrained and the consistency-constrained teacher-student semi-supervised learning model,the same samples exhibited clustering phenomena,with faster convergence speed and convergence values closer to 0 in the loss function,reducing the average relative errors of Pb and Cd in the test set to 3.32%and 4.77%.The above results indicated that the model proposed in this work could effectively enhance the accuracy and reliability of LIBS in quantitative analysis of trace heavy metal elements in paeony,strengthening the advantages of LIBS in practical applications for quality supervision in the traditional Chinese medicine market.
