    Abstract Clarithromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat Helicobacter pylori infections. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises caution before prescribing clarithromycin to patients with cardiac diseases. This study aimed to evaluate cardiac events after anti-H pylori treatment in patients with coronary artery disease. A retrospective 5-year study was conducted on outpatients who received anti-H pylori therapy. Among the 7855 patients receiving therapy, 228 patients (2.9%) underwent angiography with coronary artery disease before therapy, and 193 patients received clarithromycin. Clarithromycin users seemed not to be at risk for cardiac events as compared with non-clarithromycin users at 3 months (4.7% vs 2.9%, P = .63) and 1 year (10.9% vs 5.7%, P = .35). Neither life-threatening dysrhythmia nor cardiac death was noted. The risk factors for cardiac events within 3 months after therapy were smoker (OR:5.38, 95% CI:1.39-20.78), and events within 1 year were smoker (OR:3.8, 95% CI:1.41-10.22), and diabetes mellitus (OR:5.68, 95% CI:1.9-16.98). Among patients with coronary artery disease who received anti-H pylori therapy, short-term cardiac events did not increase in clarithromycin users but should be considered in diabetic and smoking patients.

    Abstract Background/purpose: Gastroparesis is a common but easily overlooked disease. Gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) is one of the third-space endoscopy techniques to treat gastroparesis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of G-POEM for patients with refractory gastroparesis.
    Methods: Between December 2017 and 2020, we consecutively enrolled patients with gastroparesis who failed after the administration of several kinds of medication and repeated admission for nutritional support. All patients underwent gastric emptying scintigraphy and answered a questionnaire on Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI). Demographic data, endoscopic procedure, and post procedural outcome were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 11 (9 women and 2 men) patients with refractory gastroparesis (nine with diabetes mellitus, one systemic lupus erythematosus, and one idiopathic) were enrolled. The mean (±standard deviation (SD)) procedure time was 61.82 (±18.99) min with technical and clinical success rates of 100% and 81.82%, respectively. A statistically significant improvement was observed in the clinical severity (mean GCSI score 36.00 vs. 14.73, p < 0.0001) and gastric emptying time (mean T
    Conclusion: G-POEM is an efficient and safe pylorus-directed endoscopic therapy for refractory gastroparesis with promising results.

    Abstract Objectives: Esophageal second primary tumors (SPTs) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is not uncommon. The impact of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) screening for esophageal SPT on the outcome of HNC patients has not been well clarified.
    Methods and methods: Patients with malignancies of the head and neck region and esophagus were recruited from a hospital-based cancer registry between July 2000-December 2016. IEE screening included magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging and chromoendoscopy with Lugol's solution. Biopsied specimens with revised Vienna classification categories 1 and 2 were defined as group I, and those with categories 3 to 5 were defined as group II. The Kaplan-Meier estimate and Cox regression model were used for survival analysis.
    Results: Totally 1577 HNC and 501 esophageal cancer patients were enrolled. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of stage I/II HNC, stage III/IV HNC and esophageal cancer patients were 58%, 29%, and 8%, respectively (p < 0.01). The 5-year OS rate of HNC patients with negative IEE results was higher than that of HNC patients without IEE screening, followed by IEE screening groups I, II and esophageal cancer patients (44% vs. 39% vs. 35% vs. 11% vs. 8%, respectively, p for trend <0.01). Among advanced HNC patients, those who received IEE screening had a trend of better prognosis than those without screening (5-year OS rate of 31% vs. 28%, p = 0.17).
    Conclusions: IEE screening for esophageal SPTs is helpful in risk stratification and prognosis prediction for HNC patients. Routine IEE screening is recommended in HNC patients.

    Abstract In this paper, we investigated the dose window of forming a continuous buried oxide (BOX) layer by single implantation at the implantation energy of 200 keV. Then, an improved two-step implantation process with second implantation dose of 3×1015 cm−2 was developed to fabricate high quality separation by implanted oxygen (SIMOX) silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers. Compared with traditional single implantation, the implantation dose is reduced by 18.2%. In addition, the thickness and uniformity of the BOX layers were evaluated by spectroscopic ellipsometry. Defect-free top Si as well as atomic-scale sharp top Si/buried oxide interfaces were observed by transmission electron microscopy, indicating a high crystal quality and a perfect structure of the SOI fabricated by two step implantation. The top Si/BOX interface morphology of the SOI wafers fabricated by single or two-step implantation was also investigated by atomic force microscopy.
