HDAC6 inhibitor ACY-1215 protects from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease via inhibiting CD14/TLR4/MyD88/MAPK/NFκB signal pathway.

Background & aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis, for which there is currently no effective treatment. ACY-1215 is a selective inhibitor of histone deacetylation 6, which has shown therapeutic potential in many tumors, as well as acute liver injury. However, no research about ACY-1215 on NAFLD has been published. Therefore, our study aims to explore the role and mechanism of ACY-1215 in the experimental model of NAFLD, to propose a new treatment strategy for NAFLD. Methods: We established cell and animal models of NAFLD and verified the effect of ACY-1215 on NAFLD. The mechanism of ACY-1215 on NAFLD was preliminarily explored through TMT relative quantitative proteomics, and then we verify the mechanism discovered in the experimental model of NAFLD. Results: ACY-1215 can reduce lipid aggregation, IL-1ß, and TNF α mRNA levels in liver cells in vitro. ACY-1215 can reduce the weight gain and steatosis in the liver of the NAFLD mouse model, alleviate the deterioration of liver function, and reduce IL-1ßs and TNF α mRNA levels in hepatocytes. TMT relative quantitative proteomics found that ACY-1215 decreased the expression of CD14 in hepatocytes. It was found that ACY-1215 can inhibit the activation level of CD14/TLR4/MyD88/MAPK/NFκB pathway in the NAFLD experimental model. Conclusions: ACY-1215 has a protective effect on the cellular model of NAFLD induced by fatty acids and lipopolysaccharide, as well as the C57BL/6J mouse model induced by a high-fat diet. ACY-1215 may play a protective role by inhibiting CD14/TLR4/MyD88/MAPK/NFκB signal pathway.

Silencing immune-infiltrating biomarker CCDC80 inhibits malignant characterization and tumor formation in gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE: Tumor immune infiltration leads to poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients and seriously affects the life quality of gastric cancer patients. This study was based on bioinformatics to screen prognostic biomarkers in patients with high degree of immune invasion of gastric cancer. Meanwhile, the action of biomarker CCDC80 was explored in gastric cancer by cell and tumorigenesis experiments, to provide reference for the cure of gastric cancer patients. METHODS: Data sets and clinical massage on gastric cancer were collected from TCGA database and GEO database. ConsensusClusterPlus was used to cluster gastric cancer patients based on the 28 immune cells infiltration in ssGSEA. R "Limma" package was applied to analyze differential mRNAs between Cluster 1 and Cluster 2. Differential expression genes were screened by single factor analysis. Stemness markers (SERPINF1, DCN, CCDC80, FBLN5, SPARCL1, CCL14, DPYSL3) were identified for differential expression genes. Prognostic value of CCDC80 was evaluated in gastric cancer. Differences in genomic mutation and tumor microenvironment immune infiltration were assessed between high or low CCDC80. Finally, gastric cancer cells (HGC-27 and MKN-45) were selected to evaluate the action of silencing CCDC80 on malignant characterization, macrophage polarization, and tumor formation. RESULTS: Bioinformatics analysis showed that CCDC80, as a stemness marker, was significantly overexpressed in gastric cancer. CCDC80 was also related to the degree of gastric cancer immune invasion. CCDC80 was up-expressed in cells of gastric cancer. Silencing CCDC80 inhibited malignant characterization and subcutaneous tumor formation of gastric cancer cells. High expression of CCDC80 was positive correspondence with immune invasion. Silencing CCDC80 inhibited M2 polarization and promoted M1 polarization in tumor tissues. In addition, gastric cancer patients were likely to have mutations in CDH1, ACTRT1, GANAB, and CDH10 genes in the High-CCDC80 group. CONCLUSION: Silencing CCDC80, a prognostic biomarker in patients with immune invasion of gastric cancer, could effectively inhibit the malignant characterization, M2 polarization, and tumor formation of gastric cancer.

The coming future: The role of the oral-microbiota-brain axis in aroma release and perception.

The field of aroma release and perception during the oral process has been well studied. However, the traditional approaches have not fully explored the integration of oral biology, microbiology, and neurology to further understand aroma release and perception mechanisms. Herein, to address the existing challenges in this field, we introduce the oral-microbiota-brain axis (OMBA), an innovative framework that encapsulates the interactive relationships among saliva and the oral mucosa, the oral microbiota, and the brain in aroma release and perception. This review introduces the OMBA and highlights its role as a key interface facilitating the sensory experience of aroma. Based on a comprehensive literature survey, the specific roles of the oral mucosa, oral microbiota, saliva, and brain in the OMBA are discussed. This integrated approach reveals the importance of each component and the interconnected relationships within this axis in the overall process of aroma release and perception. Saliva and the oral mucosa play fundamental roles in aroma release and perception; the oral microbiota regulates aroma release and impacts olfactory perception; and the brain's intricate neural circuitry is central to the decoding and interpretation of aroma signals. The components of this axis are interdependent, and imbalances can disrupt aroma perception. The OMBA framework not only enhances our comprehension of aroma release and perception but also paves the way for innovative applications that could heighten sensory experiences.

Study on the Effect of Microwaved Brewer's Spent Grains on the Quality and Flavor Characteristics of Bread.

To enable a wider utilization of co-products from beer processing and minimize the negative effect of added grain on bread quality, flavor, and other attributes, brewer's spent grains (BSG) are processed through microwave pretreatment, and then the microwave-treated BSG (MW-BSG) is added to bread. So far, there has been no investigation on the effect of microwave-pretreated BSG on bread quality and flavor. In this study, we examined the effects of diverse microwave treatment variables on the physicochemical structure of BSG and explored the consequences of MW-BSG on the quality and flavor of bread. The results showed that soluble dietary fiber and water-soluble protein levels in MW-BSG increased significantly (144.88% and 23.35%) at a 540 W microwave power, 3 min processing time, and 1:5 material-liquid ratio of BSG to water. The proper addition of MW-BSG positively affected the bread texture properties and color, but excessive amounts led to an irregular size and distribution of the bread crumbs. The result of electronic nose and HS-SPME-GC-MS analyses showed that the addition of MW-BSG modified the odor profile of the bread. A sensory evaluation showed mean scores ranging from 6.81 to 4.41 for bread containing 0-10% MW-BSG. Consumers found a maximum level of 6% MW-BSG acceptable. This study endeavors to decrease environmental contamination caused by brewing waste by broadening the methods by which beer co-products can be utilized through an innovative approach.

The effects of art therapy on quality of life and psychosomatic symptoms in adults with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Cancer-related psychological and physical disorders can mean stressful and painful experiences for patients. Art therapy, a form of complementary and alternative medicine, is an increasingly popular way to decrease emotional stress, alleviate somatic symptoms, and improve quality of life in patients with cancer. However, current systematic reviews have not explored the beneficial effects of art therapy. Moreover, there have been inconsistent findings on the effect of this therapy, and there is insufficient evidence to confirm the effects in adults with cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of art therapy in improving quality of life and psychosomatic symptoms in adults with cancer. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis included adults with all kinds of cancer. Six English-language and three large Chinese-language databases were comprehensively searched for relevant studies. Gray literature and references were also checked. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias assessment tool. RESULTS: Eight eligible randomized controlled trials conducted in four countries were included. Art therapy improved overall quality of life, but had no significant effect on psychological health or physical health sub-dimensions in women with cancer. Moreover, art therapy alleviated anxiety and depression, but had only a tendency toward an effect on somatic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate-quality evidence shows that art therapy is beneficial for women with cancer in terms of improving the overall quality of life and alleviating emotional symptoms (anxiety and depression). However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the efficacy of this therapy on somatic symptoms.

Clinical and microbiological characteristics of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae causing post-operative central nervous system infections in China.

OBJECTIVES: Postoperative central nervous system infections (PCNSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) frequently result in unfavourable outcomes. However, CRE PCNSIs have not been well described from a clinical and microbiological perspective. METHODS: A total of 254 PCNSIs cases were included (January 2017 through June 2020), and clinical features were compared based on pathogenic classification. Cox regression analysis was performed to assess risk factors for mortality. Antibiotic susceptibility testing and whole genome sequencing were conducted on CRE isolates preserved. MLST, cgMLST, resistance genes and virulence genes were further analysed. RESULTS: Among 254 PCNSI cases, 15.4% were caused by Enterobacteriaceae including 28 cases by CRE. The 28-day mortality rates for CRE, CSE and non-Enterobacteriaceae PCNSIs were 50.0%, 27.3%, and 7.4%, respectively. 42.9% (12/28) of the CRE PCNSIs patients achieved clinical cure, with 25.0% achieved microbiological clearance. ST11-KL64 carrying blaKPC-2 was dominant in CRE (17/23, 73.9%), and the 28-day mortality rate of its infection was 58.5%. Most CRKP carried rampA/rampA2 genes (17/23, 73.9%). CONCLUSION: ST11-KL64 CRKP carrying blaKPC-2 dominated among CRE PCNSIs. Targeted anti-infective combination therapy based on ceftazidime/avibactam or amikacin, combined with intrathecal administration of amikacin, was found to be effective. These findings render a new insight into the clinical and microbiological landscape of CRE PCNSIs.

Risk factors and outcomes of inpatients with carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections in China: a 9-year trend and multicenter cohort study.

Objective: Bacteremia caused by carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) has high mortality, threatening the healthcare quality worldwide. Analysis is required to update the epidemiological data of CRPA bloodstream infections (BSI) and evaluate the prevalent strains in China. Moreover, it is necessary to clarify the risk factors associated with the development and mortality of CRPA bacteremia. Methods: This is a 9-year multicenter retrospective study, enrolling 137 patients with CRPA BSI and 137 carbapenem-susceptible P. aeruginosa (CSPA) BSI during January 2012 and December 2020. Antimicrobials susceptibility between the two groups were compared. Risk factors of CRPA BSI were identified by binary logistic regression for development and cox regression for mortality. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare time to mortality. CRPA and difficult-to-treat resistant P. aeruginosa (DTRPA) detection rate was analyzed year-by-year in ZYH. Results: A total of 7,384 P. aeruginosa clinical samples were cultured in ZYH during 9 years, and notable increase of CRPA and DTRPA detection rate in P. aeruginosa BSI was identified (from 17 to 60%; from 2.1 to 25%). Multivariate analysis revealed that prior ICU hospitalization, immunosuppressive therapy and exposure to carbapenems were independent risk factors for development of CRPA BSI. The 30-day crude mortality of 137 CRPA BSI was 39%. A total of 46 DTRPA were identified, and the 30-day mortality for patients infected by DTRPA was 50%. The 30-day crude mortality of CRPA BSI was independently associated with multiple organ failure and higher Pitt bacteremia score, whereas receipt appropriate therapy improved prognosis. Conclusion: A significant increase in the detection rate of CRPA and DTRPA in P. aeruginosa BSI was identified. Strict policies for carbapenems usage, cautious decisions regarding the usage of immunosuppressive agent and standard care for patients with prior ICU hospitalization are necessary for CRPA BSI management.

Utilizing circulating tumour DNA as a prognostic predictor of gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.

Background: Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has demonstrated robust diagnostic accuracy in several digestive cancers. However, the prognostic role of ctCDNA in gastric cancer (GC) is still controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of ctDNA in GC.Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched to identify studies reporting the use of ctDNA to predict GC outcome and all relevant studies published until November 2022 were enrolled for our analysis. Data were extracted by two authors independently and statistic analysis was conducted by R program with 'meta' and 'metafor' packages.Results: A total of 34 qualified articles with 5091 subjects were incorporated into our meta-analysis. The corresponding Hazard ratio (HR) of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 2.74 (95% CI:2.24-3.35), 3.13 (95% CI:2.08-4.72) and 3.04 (95% CI:2.46-3.76), respectively, in GC patients.Conclusion: Blood-based ctDNA assay would be a potential novel biomarker for GC evaluation and prediction.Simple Summary: This is the integrated meta-analysis on the association of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) with an increasing number of studies exploring the prognostic value of GC in the last few years, which depicted that the detection of ctDNA could be a promising predictor in GC patients.

Using Circulating Tumor DNA as a Novel Biomarker to Screen and Diagnose Colorectal Cancer: A Meta-Analysis.

(1) Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising biomarker for many kinds of tumors. However, whether ctDNA could be an accurate diagnostic biomarker in colorectal cancer (CRC) remains to be clarified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ctDNA in CRC. (2) Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched to identify studies reporting the use of ctDNA to screen and diagnose CRC, and all relevant studies published until October 2022 were enrolled for our analysis. These studies were divided into three primer subgroups: the subgroup of quantitative or qualitative analysis of ctDNA and the subgroup of septin9 (SEPT9) methylation assay. (3) Results: A total of 79 qualified articles with 25,240 subjects were incorporated into our meta-analysis. For quantitative studies, the combined sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were 0.723 (95% CI: 0.623-0.803), 0.920 (95% CI: 0.827-0.966), and 23.305 (95% CI: 9.378-57.906), respectively, yielding an AUC of 0.860. The corresponding values for qualitative studies were 0.610 (95% CI: 0.566-0.651), 0.891 (95% CI: 0.878-0.909), 12.569 (95% CI: 9.969-15.848), and 0.823, respectively. Detection of SEPT9 methylation depicted an AUC of 0.879, with an SEN of 0.679 (95% CI: 0.622-0.732), an SPE of 0.903 (95% CI: 0.878-0.923), and a DOR of 20.121 (95% CI:14.404-28.106), respectively. (4) Conclusion: Blood-based ctDNA assay would be a potential novel biomarker for CRC screening and diagnosis. Specifically, quantitative analysis of ctDNA or qualitative analysis of SEPT9 methylation exhibited satisfying diagnostic efficiency. Larger sample studies are needed to further confirm our conclusions and to make the ctDNA approach more sensitive and specific.

Silencing of YTHDF1 Attenuates Cerebral Stroke by Inducing PTEN Degradation and Activating the PTEN/AKT/mTOR Pathway.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation regulates pathological processes of cerebral stroke, which can lead to disability and death. Herein, we explored the role of a m6A "reader" YTHDF1 in stroke. MCAO (middle cerebral artery occlusion) rat model and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced neurocytes cell model were established. TTC staining assay assessed the infarction area and TUNEL assay analyzed apoptosis. Neurological score was analyzed to evaluate the brain function. Cell counting kit-8, LDH release, and flow cytometry assessed cellular proliferation, cell death, and cell apoptosis in vitro. The expression of YTHDF1, PTEN, and the factors in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was measured using western blot. The interaction between YTHDF1 and PTEN was confirmed luciferase assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay. The results indicated that YTHDF1 was upregulated in the brain tissues of MCAO mice and H/R-treated cells. Knockdown of YTHDF1 inhibited the infarct area, neuron damage, and apoptosis. Additionally, YTHDF1 depletion promoted viability and inhibited apoptosis of H/R-treated cells. Moreover, YTHDF1 inactivated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Mechanistically, YTHDF1 binds to PTEN to increase PTEN mRNA stability. Overexpressing PTEN rescued the effects of YTHDF1 depletion on cell viability and apoptosis. In conclusion, silencing of YTHDF1 decelerated the progression of cerebral stroke through promoting PTEN degradation and activating the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway, suggesting that YTHDF1 has the potential to be a therapeutic target for stroke.

Optimization Design and Performance Evaluation of R1234yf Ejectors for Ejector-Based Refrigeration Systems.

With the increasingly serious energy and environmental problems, the R1234yf ejector refrigeration system (ERS) shows great development potential in the refrigeration industry due to its simplicity, low maintenance costs and environmentally friendly nature. However, poor ejector performance has always been the main bottleneck for system applications. In order to overcome this problem, this paper proposes a design method for R1234yf ejectors based on the gas dynamic method and optimizes the geometrical parameters including the area ratio (AR) and nozzle exit position (NXP) to improve its performance through the control variable optimization algorithms. Based on the validated simulation model, the results show that the entrainment ratio increases initially and then decreases with the increase in AR and NXP, respectively; the AR has a significant effect on the shock wave position in the mixing chamber and the NXP can directly influence the expansion state of motive fluid; the ejector performance increases by about 17% over the initial entrainment ratio by the control variable optimization algorithms. This work can guide the R1234yf ejector design and promote the development of the ERS with environmentally friendly working fluids.

Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis Secondary to Disseminated Histoplasmosis in HIV Seronegative Patients: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) secondary to Histoplasma capsulatum infection is a rare disorder with poor outcome. Although cases of patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been well documented, little study has reported in the setting of HIV seronegative. In this study, we report a case of HLH secondary to histoplasmosis in an immunocompetent patient in China and review all cases on this situation. The objective was to summary their epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic response. A 46-year-old male cooker presented fever, fatigue, anorexia, and weight loss. Bone marrow examination suggest fungus organism and hemophagocytosis, and further, bone marrow culture confirmed Histoplasma capsulatum, as the etiology of HLH. The patient was successfully treated. We reviewed a total of the 13 cases (including our patient) of HLH with histoplasmosis in intact immunology patients. Twelve of the 13 patients are from endemic areas, and nine of the 12 cases are from emerging endemic areas, India and China. Three patients had sojourn history may related to the disease onset. Twelve of the 13 cases fulfilled HLH-2004 criteria. The diagnosis of Histoplasma capsulatum infection was established by histological examination (13 of 13), culture (4 of 13), molecular method (2 of 13), and antigen or serological assays (2 of 13). Amphotericin B, posaconazole, and itraconazole show favorable activity against the fungus, seven patients used specific treatment for HLH. For analysis of outcomes, two of the 13 patients died. Our present case report and literature review show that disseminated Histoplasma capsulatum infection with HLH in the immunocompetent population becomes increasingly common in emerging endemic areas and have high mortality. It is necessary for clinicians to improve the awareness of disease diagnosis due to the atypical population and disease presentation. Timely diagnosis and early use of antifungal agents will lead to favorable prognosis.

Role of Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibitor ACY-1215 in Cancer and Other Human Diseases.

The deacetylation process regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) plays an important role in human health and diseases. HDAC6 belongs to the Class IIb of HDACs family, which mainly modifies non-histone proteins located in the cytoplasm. HDAC6 plays a key role in tumors, neurological diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, targeting HDAC6 has become a promising treatment strategy in recent years. ACY-1215 is the first orally available highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor, and its efficacy and therapeutic effects are being continuously verified. This review summarizes the research progress of ACY-1215 in cancer and other human diseases, as well as the underlying mechanism, in order to guide the future clinical trials of ACY-1215 and more in-depth mechanism researches.

Establishment of Prediction Models for Venous Thromboembolism in Non-Oncological Urological Inpatients - A Single-Center Experience.

Purpose: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), which can lead to death. VTE is an insidious disease with no specific symptoms and overlooked readily. We aimed to establish prediction models for VTE in non-oncological urological inpatients to aid urologists to better identify VTE patients. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1453 inpatients was carried out. The risk factors for VTE had been clarified in our previous study. A stepwise regression method was used to screen the relevant influencing factors for VTE and construct a logistic regression prediction model to predict VTE. To validate the accuracy of the model, data from 291 patients from another cohort were used for external validation. Results: A total of 1453 inpatients were enrolled. Five potential risk factors (previous VTE; treatment with anticoagulants or anti-platelet agents before hospital admission; D-dimer ≥0.89 µg/mL; lower-extremity swelling; chest symptoms) were selected by multivariable analysis with p < 0.05. These five risk factors were used to build a logistic regression prediction model. When p < 0.1 in the multivariable logistic regression model, two additional risk factors were added: Caprini score ≥5 and complications, and all seven risk factors were used to build another prediction model. Internal verification showed the cutoff values, sensitivity, and specificity of the two models to be 0.02474, 0.941, 0.816 (model 1) and 0.03824, 0.941, and 0.820 (model 2), respectively. Both models had good predictive ability, but prediction accuracy was 43.0% for both when using the data of the additional 291 inpatients in the two models. Conclusion: Two novel prediction models were built to predict VTE in non-oncological urological inpatients. This is a new method for VTE screening, and internal validation showed a good performance. External validation results were suboptimal but may provide clues for subsequent VTE screening.

Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Treatment of Solitary Gastric Neurofibroma.

PURPOSE: The studies on solitary gastric neurofibroma (GN) consist of only individual case reports, with little data and relevant information. We aimed to summarize the clinical features, endoscopic features, imaging findings, and pathological features and study the safety and efficacy of endoscopic treatment of solitary GN. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively collected and analyzed clinical data of patients who underwent endoscopic treatment in Department of Gastroenterology of a well-known tertiary hospital from August 2007 to September 2019 and were accurately diagnosed as having solitary GN. RESULTS: A total of 788 patients with gastric submucosal tumors underwent endoscopic treatment, among whom 11 patients were found to have solitary GNs. The incidence of solitary GNs was 1.4%. All 11 patients were treated with endoscopy. Five patients underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) and six patients underwent endoscopic submucosal excavation (ESE). The en bloc resection rate of the 11 lesions was 100.0%. The median endoscopic operation time was 80 minutes. Average length of hospital stay was 6.4 ± 1.6 days. The median follow-up time was 29 months. No recurrence, distant metastasis, or disease-related death occurred during the follow-up. CONCLUSION: EFTR and ESE can serve as feasible, safe, and effective treatments for solitary GN.

Protective effects of chlorogenic acid on trimethyltin chloride-induced neurobehavioral dysfunctions in mice relying on the gut microbiota.

Trimethyltin chloride (TMT) is acknowledged to have potent neurotoxicity. Chlorogenic acid (CGA), the most abundant polyphenol in the human diet, is well-known for its neuroprotective activity. This investigation was performed to determine the effects and mechanisms of CGA on TMT-induced neurobehavioral dysfunctions. Mice received oral administrations of CGA (30 mg kg-1) for 11 days, in which they were intraperitoneally injected with TMT (2.7 mg kg-1) once on the 8th day. The daily intake of CGA significantly alleviated TMT-induced epilepsy-like seizure and cognition impairment, ameliorating hippocampal neuronal degeneration and neuroinflammation. Oral gavage of CGA potentially exerted neuroprotective effects through JNK/c-Jun and TLR4/NFκB pathways. Microbiome analysis revealed that daily consumption of CGA raised the relative abundance of Lactobacillus in TMT-treated mice. SCFAs, the gut microbial metabolites associated with neuroprotection, were increased in the mouse hippocampus following CGA treatment. TMT-induced neurotransmitter disorders were regulated by oral gavage of CGA, especially DL-kynurenine and acetylcholine chloride. Additionally, neurotransmitters in the mouse hippocampus were found to be highly associated with the gut microbiota. Our findings provided research evidence for the neuroprotective effect of CGA on TMT-induced neurobehavioral dysfunctions.

Endoscopic Removal of Sharp-Pointed Foreign Bodies with Both Sides Embedded into the Duodenal Wall in Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

PURPOSE: Sharp-pointed FBs with both sides embedded in the duodenal wall are rare. Compared with smooth edged FBs, sharp objects are more likely to be associated with significant adverse events, when penetrating the wall of the digestive tract. The clinical features of patients who experienced sharp-pointed FBs embedded in both sides of the duodenum were retrospectively analyzed, as were the efficacy and safety of endoscopic removal of these FBs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 21 adults with both sides of sharp-pointed FBs embedded into the duodenal wall who were admitted to the Second Xiangya Hospital in China between January 1, 1996, and May 31, 2021. Data associated with the endoscopic removal of these FBs were collected from the electronic medical record system (EMRS) of the hospital. RESULTS: The incidence rate of duodenal total FBs and FBs embedded in both sides was 8.87% and 1.03%, respectively. The success rate of endoscopic treatment was 100.00% in 124 patients without embedded duodenal FBs and 97.14% in 35 patients with one side embedded duodenal FBs. Of the 21 patients with FBs embedded in both sides of the duodenal wall, endoscopic removal was successful in 85.71% of patients, whereas 14.29% required surgery. FBs removed from these patients included toothpicks in 12; needles in 3; jujube pits in 2; and a chopstick, dentures, fish bones, and chicken bones in one each. Most of these 21 FBs were located in the bulb and descending duodenum, followed by the third part of duodenum. CONCLUSION: Sharp-edged FBs with both sides embedded in the duodenal wall are rare. Endoscopic removal may be considered as a feasible, safe, and effective method of removing sharp-pointed FBs with both sides embedded in the duodenal wall. And if endoscopic removal is unsuccessful, surgical management can be a secondary option.
