Article Abstract
Background: Hemorrhage is one of the serious adverse events of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). However, the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage after EST have not been clarified. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage after EST.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent EST between January 2011 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The incidence, treatment outcomes, and risk factors for delayed hemorrhage were evaluated. Delayed hemorrhage was defined as symptomatic hemorrhage occurring 24 h after an endoscopic procedure.
Results: After analyzing 1113 patients who underwent EST, delayed hemorrhage was seen to occur in 30 (2.7%) patients. The median period before presentation of delayed hemorrhage was 2 days (range 1-6) after EST, and its severity was mild in four, moderate in 20, and severe in six patients. All patients with delayed hemorrhage received successful endoscopic hemostasis. Univariate analysis showed that delayed hemorrhage occurred more frequently in patients with hemodialysis (p = 0.013), heparin replacement of antithrombotic agents (p = 0.012), or early hemorrhage occurring just after EST (p < 0.001). Among these, hemodialysis (OR 6.44, 95% CI 1.67-24.8; p = 0.007), heparin replacement (OR 3.76, 95% CI 1.42-9.98; p = 0.008), and early hemorrhage (OR 4.35, 95% CI 1.90-9.96; p < 0.001) proved to be independent risk factors for delayed hemorrhage on multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: The incidence of delayed hemorrhage after EST was 2.7%. Hemodialysis, heparin replacement, and early hemorrhage were the risk factors for delayed hemorrhage.

The two obstacles for treating glioma are the skull and the blood brain-barrier (BBB), the first of which forms a physical shield that increases the difficulties of traditional surgery or radiotherapy, while the latter prevents antitumor drugs reaching tumor sites. To conquer these issues, we take advantage of the high penetrating ability of sonodynamic therapy (SDT), combined with a novel nanocomplex that can easily pass the BBB. Through ultrasonic polymerization, the amphiphilic peptides (CGRRGDS) were self-assembled as a spherical shell encapsulating a sonosensitizer Rose Bengal (RB) and a plant-derived compound, sulforaphane (SFN), to form the nanocomplex SFN@RB@SPM.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and debilitating disorder marked by joint degradation, inflammation, and persistent pain. This study examined the possible therapeutic effects of curcumin and vitamin D on OA progression and pain in a rat knee OA model by anterior cruciate ligament transection and meniscectomy (ACLT + MMx). Male Wistar rats were categorized into five groups: control, curcumin-treated (100 mg/kg/day), vitamin D-treated (25 µg/kg/day), a combination of vitamin D and curcumin, and sham-operated.

: We aimed to identify neonatal circulating metabolic alterations associated with maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to explore whether these altered metabolites could mediate the association of GDM with offspring neurodevelopment. Additionally, we investigated whether neonatal circulating metabolites could improve the prediction of offspring neurodevelopmental disorders over traditional risk factors. : The retrospective cohort study enrolled 1228 mother-child dyads in South China.

Background/objectives: This study investigates the impact of maternal glycemic levels during early and late pregnancy on offspring neurodevelopment in China.
Methods: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and triglyceride (TG) levels were measured in maternal blood during pregnancy, and the TyG index was calculated to assess insulin resistance. Hyperglycemia was defined as FPG > 5.
