ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with oral cholangiopancreatography in the treatment of major duodenal papilla gallbladder polyps. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of eight patients with choledocholithiasis and gallbladder polyps who underwent ERCP and combined with oral cholangiopancreatography for major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy in Center of Digestive Endoscopy, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May 2022 to June 2024, and related data were collected, including the success rate of surgery, the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal, the superselective method of cystic duct, the time of operation, the time of gallbladder polyp removal, and surgical complications. ResultsBoth the success rate of surgery and the technical success rate of gallbladder polyp removal reached 100%, and of all eight patients, three patients used guide wire to enter the gallbladder under direct view, while five patients received oral cholangiopancreatography to directly enter the gallbladder. The time of operation was 51.88±12.34 minutes, and the time of gallbladder polyp removal was 23.13±10.94 minutes. The diameter of gallbladder polyp was 2 — 8 mm, and pathological examination showed inflammatory polyps in three patients, adenomatous polyps in one patient, and cholesterol polyps in four patients. There were no complications during or after surgery. The patients were followed up for 2 — 27 months after surgery, and no recurrence of gallbladder polyp was observed. ConclusionOral cholangiopancreatography is technically safe and feasible in endoscopic major duodenal papilla cholecystectomy.

Objective To evaluate the current radiation doses in pediatric non-cardiac interventional procedures, and analyze the associated clinical factors, and to provide data references for reducing pediatric radiation exposure. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of the radiation doses of children who had undergone non-cardiac interventional procedures at the interventional department of a tertiary pediatric hospital in Jinan from January 2022 to October 2024. The collected data included basic demographic information, surgical date, anatomical site, disease type, and radiation dose parameters (cumulative fluoroscopy time, cumulative dose area product in cine mode, cumulative air kerma, and the number of images acquired). The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparative analysis between groups (P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant). Results Among the 475 included children, 99 cases (20.8%) had infantile hemangioma (median Pka, 0.136 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 0.38 mGy), 235 cases (49.5%) had venous malformation (median Pka, 9.82 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 40.99 mGy), 75 cases (15.8%) had lymphatic malformation (median Pka, 0.06 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 0.18 mGy), 32 cases (6.7%) had retinoblastoma (median Pka, 6.58 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 52.34 mGy), 12 cases (2.5%) had arteriovenous malformation (median Pka, 42.3 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 162.87 mGy), and 22 cases (4.6%) had other vascular malformations (median Pka, 21.7 Gy·cm2; median Ka,r, 89.1 mGy). There were significant differences between children with different disease types in the cumulative fluoroscopy time, cumulative dose area product in cine mode, cumulative air kerma at the patient entrance reference point, and the number of images acquired during non-cardiac interventional procedures (all P < 0.01). Conclusion This study presented the types and proportions of pediatric non-cardiac interventional procedures, evaluated the radiation dose levels of different surgical types, and analyzed the effects of weight and anatomical site on radiation exposure, which can be useful for preliminary assessment of radiation doses in pediatric non-cardiac interventional procedures.

ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 12 patients with difficult choledocholithiasis who underwent ERCP and electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system in Department of Gastroenterology, Jilin People’s Hospital, from May to November 2022. The clinical effect of lithotripsy and lithotomy was observed, and postoperative complications and time of surgical operation were assessed. ResultsAmong the 12 patients, 11 (91.67%) were successfully treated by electrohydraulic lithotripsy under direct view, 9 (75.00%) achieved first-attempt success in lithotripsy, and 11 (91.67%) had complete removal of calculi; 1 patient was found to have stenosis of the bile ducts caused by multiple biliary tract surgeries, and grade Ⅱ intrahepatic bile duct stones above the sites of stenosis were removed under direct view, but there were still residues of grade Ⅲ intrahepatic bile duct stones, which led to the fact that complete calculus removal was not achieved. The mean time of ERCP operation was 91.3±26.2 minutes, including a time of 41.8±22.2 minutes for energy lithotripsy. There were 2 cases of postoperative biliary tract infection which were improved after anti-infective therapy, 2 cases of hyperamylasemia which were not given special treatment, and 3 cases of mild pancreatitis which were improved after symptomatic medication, and there were no complications such as bleeding and perforation. ConclusionERCP combined with electrohydraulic lithotripsy under the direct view of eyeMax biliary-pancreatic imaging system is safe, effective, and feasible in the treatment of difficult choledocholithiasis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a new variety of Sambucus williamsii Hance Yandan on the healing in rats with fractures. METHODS SD rats were randomly allocated to sham surgery group, model group, Zhonghua dieda pill group (0.54 g/kg), wild S. williamsii group (5.4 g/kg, using raw drug dosage), and high-, medium-, and low-dose groups of Yandan (10.8, 5.4, 2.7 g/kg, using raw drug dosage), with 12 rats in each group. Except for the sham surgery group, the remaining groups were prepared with a femoral fracture model. Starting from the second day after surgery, each group was intubated with the corresponding drugs and distilled water once daily for 8 consecutive weeks. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks after administration, the levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and osteocalcin (OCN) in rat serum were detected. Micro-CT scanning was used to evaluate the morphology and bone microstructural parameters of the fractured femur [bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th)], and hematoxylin-eosin staining was adopted to observe the morphological changes at the bone fracture site. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the levels of calcium in rat serum were significantly decreased (except at 4 weeks after administration), and the levels of phosphorus, ALP, and OCN were significantly increased (P<0.05) at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after administration in the high- dose group of Yandan; bone callus formation, connection of fracture ends, gradual blurring or disappearance of the fracture line, and opening of the marrow cavity were observed in the bone repair process, and a large amount of granulation tissue, fibroblasts, chondrocytes, new trabeculae, and new bone plates were visible at the fracture site of bone tissue; after 8 weeks of administration, BMD, BV/TV, Tb.N, and Tb.Th were significantly increased, and Tb.Sp was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Most of the above indicators in the wild S. williamsii Hance group showed no significant changes. CONCLUSIONS Yandan has the effect of promoting fracture healing in rats, and its effect is superior to that of wild S. williamsii.

Objective:To explore the relationship between blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and frailty in the elderly aged ≥65 years in 8 longevity areas in China.Methods:Participants were recruited from the Healthy Aging and Biomarkers Cohort Study. Based on baseline information about blood urea nitrogen and risk for frailty obtained at follow-up of the participants, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio was classified according to quintiles, Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to analyze the association between blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and frailty.Results:A total of 1 562 participants aged (81.0±17.0) years were included, in whom 814 (52.1%) were men, and 258 frailty events occurred during a mean follow-up of (3.73±1.43) years. Cox proportional hazards model showed that after adjusting for relevant confounders, compared with the participants in the lowest quintile group ( Q1), the risk for frailty decreased by 36%, 44%, and 40% in the participants in the third quintile group ( Q3), the fourth quintile group ( Q4) and the highest quintile group ( Q5) respectively [hazard ratio ( HR)=0.64, 95% CI: 0.43-0.94; HR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.38-0.84; HR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.41-0.88]. The risk for frailty decreased by 20% for every unit standard deviation increase in blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio ( HR=0.80, 95% CI: 0.70-0.91). Moreover, blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio and the risk for frailty showed a nearly linear dose-response relationship. Conclusions:The increase in blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio was associated with higher risk for frailty. Maintaining high blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio is important for the prevention of frailty in the elderly.

Objective:To understand the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of viral encephalitis in children and adolescents in Henan Province from 2012 to 2023.Methods:The information about viral encephalitis cases from October 1, 2012 to July 26, 2023 were collected from Zhengzhou Children's Hospital (National Children's Regional Medical Center),Henan Provincial Children's Hospital for the analyses on temporal distribution the cases, the severe illness rate, age distribution, pathogen type and imaging findings of the cases.Results:A total of 6 276 cases of viral encephalitis were included in this study after excluding cases with incomplete information. The cases mainly originated from Zhengzhou (38.96%), followed by Zhoukou (9.93%), Xuchang (8.68%), Zhumadian (7.90%) and Pingdingshan (7.39%). The cases in boys accounted for 62.13% and the cases in girls accounted for 37.87%. Most cases (72.45%) occurred in age group 7-13 years. The overall rate of severe illness cases was 4.51% from 2012 to 2023. There were significant differences in severe illness cases among different areas and years ( χ2=5.33, P=0.021; χ2=48.14, P<0.001). Enteroviruses were mainly detected (31.57%), in which Coxsackie virus was predominant (58.37%). Imaging findings showed that cerebral hemisphere damage was most common in children and adolescents with viral encephalitis (54.93%). Conclusions:From 2012 to 2023, more cases of viral encephalitis occurred in boys in Henan. Children and adolescents aged 7-13 years were the main affected group. The prevention of enteroviruses infection, especially Coxsackie virus, needs to be strengthened. Special attention should be paid to the prevention of cerebral hemisphere damage after viral encephalitis diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of task-oriented exercise training for hospitalized elderly diabetic patients.Methods:This study is a parallel randomized controlled trial with a positive control and a single-blinded assessor.From July 2020 to July 2021, we included 84 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology at Beijing Hospital.These patients were randomly divided into two groups: the task-oriented exercise training group(TOE group)and the regular exercise training group(regular group). The TOE group participants were trained using a task-oriented exercise program that was specifically developed by our research team.On the other hand, the regular group participants were trained using a classical program that comprised of all exercise modes.Each subject received individualized exercise training for 10 consecutive days while staying in the hospital.We evaluated the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of the training programs by measuring the physical fitness of the participants, assessing the feasibility of the program, and monitoring any exercise-related adverse events that occurred.Results:A total of 79 subjects completed the entire intervention and follow-up period, with 40 subjects in the TOE group and 39 subjects in the regular group.In terms of efficacy, both groups showed improvement in their physical fitness indexes after the intervention, with no significant differences in the degree of improvement between the two groups(all P>0.05). When considering feasibility, the TOE group had a higher proportion of prospective feasibility at 87.5%(35 out of 40)compared to the regular group at 71.8%(28 out of 39). Similarly, the TOE group had a higher proportion of practical feasibility at 75.0%(30 out of 40)compared to the regular group at 53.8%(21 out of 39). The TOE group showed a significant advantage in practical feasibility between the two groups( χ2=3.862, P=0.049). As for safety, there were no exercise-related adverse events during the intervention in either group. Conclusions:The efficacy and safety of the task-oriented exercise program for hospitalized elderly diabetic patients is comparable to that of the regular program.Additionally, the task-oriented program is more feasible than the regular program.

Objective To investigate the effects of DNA demethylation drugs combined with histone deacetylase in-hibitors on fragile X mental retardation 1 neighbor protein (FMR1NB) expression and its promoter methylation in human oral cancer cells and try to find a strategy of weakening the heterogeneity of FMR1NB expression.Methods Human oral cancer cell lines Cal27 and SCC-9 were treated with decitabine (DAC) , an inhibitor of DNA meth-yltransferase, combined with trichostatin A (TSA) and valproic acid (VPA), inhibitors of histone deacetylase.Then reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) , quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of FMR1 NB and pyrosequencing was used to detect the methylation of FMR1NB promoter.Results Compared with the blank control group, DAC and its combination with TSA and VPA significantly induced the expression of FMR1NB mRNA and protein in Cal27 and SCC-9 cells.Compared with DAC alone group, FMR1NB mRNA expression of each DAC-combined drug groups significantly increased, but FMR1NB protein did not significantly change in Cal27 cells; for SCC-9 cells, except for DAC+TSA group, the mRNA and protein levels of FMR1NB significantly increased in all other groups.In addition, there was no signifi-cant difference in the expression of FMR1 NB mRNA and protein between the three-combined drugs group and two-combined drugs groups.Further methylation assay showed that the methylation level of the overall FMR1NB promot-er and its each CpG site measured were reduced to varying degrees in all treatment groups except for three-combina-tion drug group of SCC-9.Conclusion DAC and its combination with TSA and VPA can enhance the expression of FMR1NB by mediating the demethylation of FMR1NB promoter, wherein the enhanced expression effect of the com-bination of the two drugs is stronger, suggesting that they have the potential to weaken the heterogeneity of FMR1NB expression and improve the immunotherapy effect of oral cancer.
