Clinical characteristics and literature review of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus-associated enteritis.

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection-associated enteritis (CAEAE) in nonimmunodeficient individuals is rare. To report a case of CAEAE, relevant articles were searched through databases. The clinical manifestations, endoscopic findings, strategies of treatment, prognoses, and follow-up results of CAEAE patients were analyzed.

Endoscopic transpapillary drainage for walled-off pancreatic necrosis with complete main pancreatic duct disruption by metallic stent placement: A retrospective study.

Background: Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is a serious complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and may lead to disruption of the main pancreatic duct (MPD). Endoscopic passive transpapillary drainage (PTD) is an effective method for treating MPD disruptions. However, WOPN with complete MPD disruption is usually accompanied by disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS), especially with infected necrosis.

Dual-output filter-free microwave photonic single sideband up-converter with high mixing spur suppression.

A dual-output filter-free microwave photonic single sideband (SSB) up-converter with the mixing spurs highly suppressed is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By introducing the balanced Hartley structure using a 90° optical hybrid, the lower sideband (LSB) and upper sideband (USB) up-converted RF signals can be generated simultaneously and output separately, with no need of either optical or electrical filtering. The structure avoids the special requirement with the optical modulation format of the local oscillator (LO) signal.
