Objective: To discuss the value of a new technique of the binding pancreaticogastrostomy (BPG) in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: From May 2008 to October 2008, 15 patients were performed with BPG, included pancreatic head cancer in 7 cases, duodenal adenocarcinoma in 2 cases,mass-type chronic pancreatitis with pancreatolithiasis in 1 case, ampullary carcinoma in 1 case, gallbladder cancer in 1 case, islet cell tumor in 1 case and cholangiocarcinoma in 2 cases. The main procedures of BPG included: isolating remnant pancreas; slitting partial posterior wall of stomach and preplaced with seromuscular purse-string suture; cutting gastric anterior wall; performing pancreaticogastrostomy (binding of outer seromuscular and inner mucous layer of stomach).
Results: The procedures were successful in 15 patients. Postoperative complications included small amount of pleural effusion in 2 cases, delayed gastric emptying in 2 cases and bile leakage in 2 cases. All patients were cured in 2 weeks. No mortality and anastomosis leakage occurred.
Conclusion: The application of BPG technique can prevent the anastomosis leakage and improve the safety for pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Background: Benzathine penicillin G (BPG) is a proven preventive agent for preventing the progression of rheumatic heart disease (RHD) and is recognized as a standard of care. However, ensuring adherence to BPG remains a global challenge. The objective of this review was to synthesize the available evidence on the barriers to and facilitators of BPG adherence among RHD patients.

Article Synopsis
- The recent surge in syphilis cases in the U.S. poses significant public health challenges, particularly due to intermittent shortages of benzathine penicillin, the primary treatment for the infection.
- Experts from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) gathered in February 2024 to explore alternative therapies for treating syphilis, focusing on existing antibiotics with good safety profiles.
- Workshop discussions highlighted difficulties in designing clinical trials for alternative treatments due to penicillin's high effectiveness and varied patient demographics and health conditions.

Discovery of new types of reactions is essential to organic chemistry because it expands the scope of accessible molecular scaffolds and can enable more economical syntheses of existing structures. In this context, the so-called multicomponent reactions, MCRs, are of particular interest because they can build complex scaffolds from multiple starting materials in just one step, without purification of intermediates. However, for over a century of active research, MCRs have been discovered rather than designed, and their number remains limited to only several hundred.

The semantic model, established by deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) and vector quantization method, can effectively extract the essential characteristics of images. In addition, indoor VLC channel models including line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) links are established in a 5*5*3 room, while incorporating noise interference encountered during signal transmission into the training process of the semantic model to enhance its anti-interference capability.

Purpose: To evaluate judicious antibiotic prescribing of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) after implementation of an electronic health record-based medication shortage alert during a critical drug shortage.
Methods: This was an institutional review board-approved retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥3 months who received BPG between May 9, 2023, and February 28, 2024. The study included inpatient and outpatient visits after implementing a BPG medication shortage alert; patients with severe penicillin allergy, neurosyphilis, or congenital syphilis were excluded.
