The ligators we have developed is a kind of economical and effective six-ring ligator. Endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) was performed to treat bleeding from esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis using self-made ligator and foreign multiple ligator. There are similar effects with both self-made ligator and foreign mutiple ligator in the control of variceal bleeding, variceal obliteration and rebleeding (93.8%, 87.5%, 0 in the group with self-made ligator, 94.5%, 87.1%, 2.4% in the group with foreign multiple ligator, P>0.05). In terms of the quality index, successful operation rate, hemastatic rate, variceal obliteration rate, rebleeding rate, complications and variceal recurrence rate, the self-made ligator is as good as the foreign multiple ligator, but much cheaper.

Chemical protein synthesis (CPS), in which custom peptide segments of ~20-60 aa are produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis and then stitched together through sequential ligation reactions, is an increasingly popular technique. The workflow of CPS is often depicted with a "bracket" style diagram detailing the starting segments and the order of all ligation, desulfurization, and/or deprotection steps to obtain the product protein. Brackets are invaluable tools for comparing multiple possible synthetic approaches and serve as blueprints throughout a synthesis.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are a small fraction of overall gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Recently the incidence of NETs has increased due to advancements in diagnostic modality. While solid tumors are easily visible on routine endoscopy, identifying endocrine tumors can be difficult, and low incidence and non-specific presentation can be easily missed on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE).

Purpose: The aim of this prospective study is to present the results of rubber band ligation (RBL) in 2635 consecutive patients with 2, 3, and 4 degree symptomatic hemorrhoids, the pain risk factors, and the applicability of the method in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
Methods: A total of 1256 patients with 2, 1159 with 3, and 220 with 4 degree hemorrhoids were included in the study. Fifty-seven patients with hemorrhoids had liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

Endoscopic variceal ligation is the preferred endoscopic treatment method for esophageal variceal bleeding. The incidence of complications such as chest pain, bleeding, stricture formation, and aspiration pneumonia is low. We report a case wherein a malfunctioning multiple-band ligator could have potentially caused damage to the esophageal varices and massive bleeding.
