Background: The complications with therapeutic colonoscopy reported to date have been associated with the monopolar snare, and the frequency of complications related to use of the bipolar snare is uncertain. This study aimed too investigate the incidence of bleeding and perforation associated with the bipolar snare and to identify the risk factors for bleeding.
Methods: Between October 2001 and December 2008, all patients with colorectal polyps treated using the bipolar snare were enrolled in this retrospective study. Clinical data were assembled from an electronic database. The incidence of bleeding and perforation was investigated, and the risk factors for bleeding also were determined using multivariate analysis.
Results: This study collected 4,719 patients with 10,513 lesions. Perforation occurred for eight patients (0.17%) and bleeding in 66 patients (1.4%). Age younger than 60 years was a significant risk factor for bleeding (P < 0.01). The incidence of bleeding was significantly higher for lesions 10 mm or larger than for lesions smaller than 10 mm (P < 0.001). In terms of macroscopic type, pedunculated lesions bled significantly more often than lesions of other shapes (P < 0.001). Lesions in the rectum bled significantly more frequently (P < 0.001) than lesions at other sites. High-grade dysplasia and invasive cancer developed bleeding significantly more often than other histologic types (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age younger than 60 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.42), lesion size of 10 mm or larger (OR, 2.60), pedunculated shape (OR, 3.40), and rectal location (OR, 3.55) were significant risk factors.
Conclusions: The complication rates for the bipolar snare appear to be comparable with those for the monopolar snare based on comparison of the results reported in the literature. Age (<60 years), lesion size (≥ 10 mm), macroscopic type (pedunculated), and lesion location (rectum) are independent risk factors for bleeding.

Article Synopsis
- Syntaxin 3 is part of a protein family crucial for the fusion of vesicles with membranes, impacting various cellular processes.
- Mutations in the syntaxin 3A splice form are linked to a serious gut disorder, while additional mutations involving syntaxin 3B can lead to early-onset retinal diseases.
- The review focuses on new research highlighting the functions of syntaxin 3B in membrane fusion and neurotransmitter release specifically in the vertebrate retina.
A method of "Noninjecting Resection using Bipolar Soft coagulation mode; NIRBS" for superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumor: a pilot study.

Background: Complete endoscopic resection of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) is technically difficult, especially with an extremely high risk of adverse event (AE), although various endoscopic resection methods including endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), underwater EMR (UEMR), and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) have been tried for SNADETs. Accordingly, a novel simple resection method that can completely resect tumors with a low risk of AEs should be developed.
Aims: A resection method of Noninjecting Resection using Bipolar Soft coagulation mode (NIRBS) which has been reported to be effective and safe for colorectal lesions is adapted for SNADETs.

Over the years, research on the pathogenesis of neurological diseases has progressed slowly worldwide. However, as the incidence rate continues to increase and the disease gradually develops, early diagnosis and treatment have become a top priority. SANP25, a protein present on the presynaptic membrane and involved in neurotransmitter release, is closely related to the loss or abnormal expression of synapses and neurons.

Retinal neurons that form ribbon-style synapses operate over a wide dynamic range, continuously relaying visual information to their downstream targets. The remarkable signaling abilities of these neurons are supported by specialized presynaptic machinery, one component of which is syntaxin3B. Syntaxin3B is an essential t-SNARE protein of photoreceptors and bipolar cells that is required for neurotransmitter release.
