Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted procedure for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN) because of a high complete resection rate. However, there were a few reports about the long-term outcomes of these patients due to short follow-up periods.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the 5-year survival after ESD for superficial ESCN.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study performed at a single institution. Between 2006 and 2009, 94 patients with superficial ESCN underwent ESD. Eighty-three patients (93.3%) who had completed an extended period of observation of at least 5 years were enrolled. The main outcomes were the 5-year survival rates. The secondary outcomes were the cumulative incidence rate of metachronous ESCN, and the clinical outcomes.
Results: The 5-year relative overall survival rate was 99.0%, whereas the cause specific survival rate was 100% during 72.9 months of median follow up period. Subgroup analysis showed that the 5year survival of patients with EP/LPM and MM/SM1 (submucosal invasion ≤200μm) were 100% and 89.0%, respectively. The cumulative incidence rate of metachronous ESCN at 5 years was 16.8%.
Conclusion: ESD for superficial ESCN is a curative treatment with a favorable 5-year survival rate.

Background: Lynch syndrome (LS), an autosomal dominant disorder resulting from germline pathogenic variants in DNA mismatch repair genes, poses an elevated risk of developing different types of cancer, particularly colorectal and endometrial. Early identification of LS individuals is vital for implementing preventive measures. This study aims to assess the adherence rate of LS individuals to colorectal surveillance and identify influencing factors.

Objective: To explore the relationship between vessel invasion (VI) and clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
Methods: A total of 3600 cases of patients with GC who underwent radical gastrectomy in gastrointestinal surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and filtering them based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. To reduce the possibility of selection bias about the impact of VI, patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of it, and performed a one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM), resulting in 724 patients in each group.

Background: Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, and Mycoplasma hominis were widely known as ammonia-producing microorganisms and can cause hyperammonemia, leading to cerebral edema and altered consciousness, which represent serious complications in lung transplant recipients. However, there is limited knowledge on the epidemiology and outcomes of infections caused by U. urealyticum, U.

Triploids are widely used to rapidly achieve genetic improvements of organisms due to their fast growth and enhanced environmental adaptability. Artificially induced triploids are generally considered to be infertile owing to the obvious inhibition of gonadal development. Recently, some fertile individuals with reduced advantages have been found in triploid bivalves, which is a notable deviation from the original intention of artificially inducing triploids.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in those aged 50 years and above have decreased over the last 2 decades. However, there is a rising incidence in CRC among individuals under 50 years of age, termed early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). EOCRC patients are more advanced stage at diagnosis and may suffer more psychosocial, emotional and financial distress.
