Abstract
In the last decade, a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas has resulted in the development of novel targeted therapies, such as small molecule inhibitors of select kinases in the B-cell receptor pathway, antibody-drug conjugates, and small molecules that target a variety of proteins (eg, CD-19, EZH2, and XPO-1-mediated nuclear export). Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, first approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, has also emerged as a novel treatment option for R/R follicular lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma. These NCCN Guideline Insights highlight the new targeted therapy options included in the NCCN Guidelines for B-Cell Lymphomas for the treatment of R/R disease.

Abstract
To investigate Streptococcus suis (S.suis) isolated from patients in Shandong province using genomic epidemiology and pathogenologic analysis. To provide the foundation to establish reasonable and accurate prevention and control measures of human S. suis infection. Molecular typing, whole genome phylogenetic tree, virulence gene typing, antibiotic resistance profile and mobile genetic elements carrying antibiotic resistance genes of isolated S. suis strains were investigated. The pathogenicity of isolated strains was also evaluated by comparing their capacity to induce pro-inflammatory cytokine production in vitro. S. suis infections in Shandong province were predominantly due to serotype 2 and sequence type 1 strains. The major symptoms were meningitis. The studied strains could be divided into five lineages. All strains belong to highly pathogenic type in Shandong province,Strains from lineage 2 possessed higher capacity to stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokine production than other strains did, even though other strains belong to highly pathogenic strains. In addition, multiple antibiotic resistance genes and corresponding mobile genetic elements werewidespread in S. suis strains from Shandong province, except strains from lineage 3. High diversities in genome, evolutionary path and pathogenicity of S. suis strains from Shandong province were revealed. It was necessary to surveillant the S. suis strain in genomic level.

Abstract
Question: A 29-year-old Chinese male was admitted to our department with a history of right upper quadrant pain for two months, anorexia, weight loss about 5 kg and without fever. The pain radiated to the back and it got worst lately. He didn’t have a history of tuberculosis. The sclera was mild icteric. Laboratory test results showed total bilirubin level increased to 58 umol/L (normal level <28 umol/L) and tumor markers were normal. Chest X-ray was normal. Abdominal contrastenhanced CT showed a 25 x 30 mm cyst-solid mass in the head of pancreas (Figure1. A) and the lesion was mild enhancement in arterial phase. Pancreatic tumor was considered. Endoscopic ultrasonography confirmed the mass with uneven echo in the pancreatic head and the boundary of the mass was not clear (Figure1. B). The lesion may invade the portal vein. As the patient was young and the operation was very traumatic, the patient refused surgery unless the lesion was proved to be a tumor.

Abstract
Falling injuries pose serious health risks to people of all ages, and knowing the extent of exposure to irregular surfaces will increase the ability to measure fall risk. Current gait analysis methods require overly complicated instrumentation and have not been tested for external factors such as walking surfaces that are encountered in the real-world, thus the results are difficult to extrapolate to real-world situations. Artificial intelligence approaches (in particular deep learning networks of varied architectures) to analyze data collected from wearable sensors were used to identify irregular surface exposure in a real-world setting. Thirty young adults wore six Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors placed on their body (right wrist, trunks at the L5/S1 level, left and right thigh, left and right shank) while walking over eight different surfaces commonly encountered in the living community as well as occupational settings. Three variations of deep learning models were trained to solve this walking surface recognition problem: 1) convolution neural network (CNN); 2) long short term memory (LSTM) network and 3) LSTM structure with an extra global pooling layer (Global-LSTM) which learns the coordination between different data streams (e.g. different channels of the same sensor as well as different sensors). Results indicated that all three deep learning models can recognize walking surfaces with above 0.90 accuracy, with the Global-LSTM yielding the best performance at 0.92 accuracy. In terms of individual sensors, the right thigh based Global-LSTM model reported the highest accuracy (0.90 accuracy). Results from this study provide further evidence that deep learning and wearable sensors can be utilized to recognize irregular walking surfaces induced motion alteration and applied to prevent falling injuries.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the characteristics and prognosis of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Patients diagnosed with bacterial meningitis who were hospitalized in Beijing Children's Hospital between 2010 and 2016 and older than 28 days and younger than 18 years at symptom onset were included in this study (n=573). All clinical information including hearing assessment results during hospitalization were reviewed. All patients with hearing loss were followed up to repeat their hearing test and assess their hearing condition with parents' evaluation of aural and (or) oral performance of children (PEACH). Patients were grouped according to their hearing assessment results, and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for hearing loss in patients with bacterial meningitis. Results: Five hundred and seventy-three patients were enrolled in this study, including 347 males and 226 females. The onset age ranged from 29 days to 15.8 years. Two hundred and forty-six patients had identified causative pathogens, among whom 92 cases (37.4%) were pneumococcal meningitis cases. Hearing loss was found in 160 cases (27.9%) during hospitalization, involving 240 ears. Permanent hearing loss was found in 20 cases (16.9%), involving 32 ears. In the patients with permanent hearing loss, 87.5% (28/32) of ears were identified as severe or profound hearing loss during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis showed that dystonia, the protein concentration level in cerebrospinal fluid>1 g/L, glucose concentration level lower than 1 mmol/L and subdural effusion were independent risk factors for hearing loss (OR=2.426 (1.450-4.059), 1.865 (1.186-2.932), 1.544 (1.002-2.381) and 1.904 (1.291-2.809)). Conclusions: Hearing loss is a common sequela of bacterial meningitis in children. Most patients have transient hearing loss, but patients with severe or profound hearing impairment have a higher risk of developing permanent hearing loss.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the correlation between collateral flow compensation mode and interventional treatment decision in patients with severe bilateral internal carotid artery stenosis/occlusion. Methods: According to the location of internal carotid artery lesions, patients with severe stenosis/occlusion of bilateral internal carotid artery were selected at the Second Affiliated Hospital, Qiqihar Medical University and the Sixth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from May 2017 to June 2020. Results: A total of 42 patients were finally enrolled and divided into 4 types, including 34 males and 8 females with median age 61±8(48-82)years. The collateral circulation pathways manifested as following modes: anterior communicating artery collateral, posterior communicating artery collateral, ophthalmic artery collateral, posterior cerebral middle cerebral artery pial anastomosis collateral, posterior choroidal artery anterior choroidal artery collateral, external carotid internal carotid artery C4 segment collateral, pericallosal artery anastomosis collateral, dural and pial collateral and neovascularization. Type Ⅰ severe stenosis/occlusion of C1 segment was found in 20 cases (47.6%). There were 5 cases (11.9%) of type Ⅱ severe stenosis/occlusion from C2 to C6 prior to ophthalmic artery branch. Type Ⅲ severe stenosis/occlusion occurred in 2 cases (4.8%) after the split of ophthalmic artery. Type Ⅳ was mixed type in 15 cases (35.7%). Conclusions: The compensatory pathway of collateral circulation is closely related to the lesion location. To explore the compensatory pattern of collateral circulation is helpful for clinicians to accurately analyze the lesion characteristics and guide individualized interventional therapy.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of hemodynamics, morphological and clinical characteristics on rupture risk of the dorsal and non-dorsal internal carotid artery aneurysms (ICAAs). Methods: A total of 111 patients diagnosed with aneurysm by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or surgery, underwent cranial CT angiography (CTA) were retrospectively collected from January 2010 to December 2016 at the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Jinling Clinical College of Xuzhou Medical University (General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command). Among them, 41 were males and 70 were females, ranging in age from 32 to 83 (56±11) years old. The patients were divided into the ruptured group (n=54) and unruptured group (n=57) based on the hemorrhagic manifestation on non-enhanced CT images or DSA or surgery of the head. Demographics and the morphological characteristics of the aneurysms were evaluated. Hemodynamic parameters, including wall share stress, wall share stress gradient, and others were obtained in overall using computational fluid dynamics simulation technique. Characteristics were compared between the ruptured and unruptured groups. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the independent risk factors for rupture, and the hemodynamic characteristics associated with dorsal and non-dorsal aneurysms were analyzed, respectively. Results: Compared with the unruptured group, patients in the ruptured group were younger ((54.2±11.4) years and (58.3±9.9) years, P=0.033), mostly female (74.1% vs 52.6%, P<0.05), with a higher proportion of hypertension (46.3% vs 22.8%, P=0.009). The ruptured internal carotid artery aneurysms (ICAAs) were more frequently located at the dorsal of an arterial arch (57.4% vs 36.8%, P<0.05), and the flow of the blood was more complex, concentrated, unstable, and with a smaller impingement zone (68.5% vs 33.3%,55.6% vs 10.5%,72.2% vs 26.3% and 79.6% vs 36.8%, respectively, all P<0.05). Logistic regression demonstrated that women, hypertension, dorsal, concentrated flow pattern, and unstable flow pattern were an independent risk factors for ICAAs rupture [OR=3.551 (1.080-11.679), 3.900 (1.172-12.976), 4.966 (1.504-16.401), 51.893 (7.913-340.296) and 50.015 (8.423-296.985), respectively, all P<0.05]. The ruptured ICAAs located at non-dorsal had more concentrated, unstable, and with smaller impingement zone (P<0.05), while those at dorsal had more complex, concentrated, and unstable flow patterns, and with smaller impingement zone (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Women, hypertension, dorsal concentration, and unstable flow pattern are independent risk factors for the rupture of ICAAs. The dorsal locations of ICAAs could have a higher risk of rupture.

Abstract
As potential substitutes for traditional free-range rearing system, floor-rearing system (FRS) and net-rearing system (NRS) are the current predominant dryland duck rearing systems. However, the influence of these two systems on production performance and duck health is poorly understood. In this study, a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with two rearing systems (FRS and NRS) and three ages (4w, 8w and 13w) was conducted to study the effects of FRS and NRS on production, antioxidant capacity and immune status of Nonghua ducks. The production performance was mainly affected by the effect of rearing systems at 8w. Body weight, average daily gain, eviscerated weight and semi-eviscerated weight were higher in NRS ducks at 8w, but carcass yield at 8w and 13w was decreased (P < 0.05). Lipid deposition was enhanced in NRS and higher sebum and abdominal fat yields were seen at 8w and 13w (P < 0.05). NRS resulted in developmental retardation of the liver at 4w and decreased gizzard index at all ages (P < 0.05). Antioxidant capacity indicators were unaffected by rearing systems (P > 0.05), however, in NRS, slightly better antioxidant capacity was seen at 4w, while glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was higher at 13w (P < 0.05). NRS ducks had higher thymus weight at 8w and higher spleen weight at 13w (P < 0.05). Immune cytokines were extensively affected by rearing system (P < 0.05) and higher levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, interleukin-4 and immunoglobulins were seen in NRS ducks. Serum biochemical parameters (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)) showed that NRS was better for liver health, and in the liver of FRS ducks, ALP was higher at 13w, and both ALP and interferon-γ were higher at 13w than at 4w and 8w (P < 0.05). In conclusion, this study showed that NRS was, to an extent, conducive to production performance and duck liver health, but compared to FRS, defects were seen in visceral organ development and lipid deposition. Although antioxidant capacity was not significantly affected, NRS ducks may have better antioxidant capacity at the early breeding stage, and GSH-Px activity was increased for scavenging excess free radicals at the later one. NRS increased serum levels of interferon-γ, interleukin-1β, interleukin-4 and immunoglobulins and promoted thymus and spleen development, thus improving duck immune function. These findings will provide a reliable reference for selecting a rearing system.

Abstract
AIM Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been shown to cluster in families. First-degree relatives of individuals with CLL have an ~8 fold increased risk of developing the malignancy. Strong heritability suggests pedigree studies will have good power to localize pathogenic genes. However, CLL is relatively rare and heterogeneous, complicating ascertainment and analyses. Our goal was to identify CLL risk loci using unique resources available in Utah and methods to address intra-familial heterogeneity. METHODS We identified a six-generation high-risk CLL pedigree using the Utah Population Database. This pedigree contains 24 CLL cases connected by a common ancestor. We ascertained and genotyped eight CLL cases using a high-density SNP array, and then performed shared genomic segment (SGS) analysis - a method designed for extended high-risk pedigrees that accounts for heterogeneity. RESULTS We identified a genome-wide significant region (P = 1.9 × 10-7, LOD-equivalent 5.6) at 2q22.1. The 0.9 Mb region was inherited through 26 meioses and shared by seven of the eight genotyped cases. It sits within a ~6.25 Mb locus identified in a previous linkage study of 206 small CLL families. Our narrow region intersects two genes, including CXCR4 which is highly expressed in CLL cells and implicated in maintenance and progression. CONCLUSION SGS analysis of an extended high-risk CLL pedigree identified the most significant evidence to-date for a 0.9 Mb CLL disease locus at 2q22.1, harboring CXCR4. This discovery contributes to a growing literature implicating CXCR4 in inherited risk to CLL. Investigation of the segregating haplotype in the pedigree will be valuable for elucidating risk variant(s).

Abstract
Children are susceptible to allergic rhinitis (caused by external allergens) accompanied by functional gastrointestinal disease, which seriously affects physical and mental health. Antihistamines and nasal spray hormones are commonly used in clinical treatment, but these drugs often have unsatisfactory efficacy and result in high recurrence rates. Therefore, understanding the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis with functional gastrointestinal disease and seeking safer treatment and prevention methods is essential. Herein, molecular ecology and immunoassays were used to analyze correlations between pediatric allergic rhinitis with functional gastrointestinal disease and both the intestinal microbiota and gastrointestinal peptide levels. Fifty healthy children (healthy group) and 80 children with allergic rhinitis with functional gastrointestinal disease (case group: evenly divided into a control group (conventional drug therapy) and an intervention group (conventional drug therapy + glutamine+probiotics)), were enrolled. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus counts and the gastrin and motilin levels were lower in the case group than in the healthy group, whereas Enterobacter, yeast, and Enterococcus counts and the somatostatin, serotonin, and vasoactive intestinal peptide levels were higher. Post treatment, intestinal microbiota indices, gastrointestinal peptide levels, and intestinal barrier function were better in the intervention group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The intervention group had a significantly higher total therapeutic response rate (95.00%) than the control group (77.50%). The intestinal microbiota was closely associated with gastrointestinal peptide levels. Treatment with glutamine and probiotics regulated these levels, re-established balance in the intestinal microbiota, and restored intestinal barrier function.

Abstract
e19525 Background: Survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are at increased risk of secondary malignancies (SM). We quantified this risk in survivors with over 40 years of follow-up, and evaluated differences in risk by treatment modality. Methods: Standardized incidence ratios (SIR, observed-to-expected [O/E] ratio), which accounts for patient years at risk, and absolute excess risk of SM were assessed in 142,837 patients diagnosed with NHL as a first malignancy between 1975 and 2016 in the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. Follow up was available through 2016. Non-melanoma skin cancers were not counted as SM. SIRs were also evaluated for patients stratified by age at and latency from diagnosis. Results: In all, 14,101 patients received radiotherapy alone (RT), 68,424 received chemotherapy alone (CT), and 18,339 received chemotherapy and radiation (CRT). In total, 15,979 patients (11%) developed SM, more than the endemic rate (O/E 1.29; P < .01). Overall, patients treated with any RT (RT+CRT) had a similar risk of SM as those who did not receive RT (O/E 1.29 for both compared to endemic rate). Patients treated with RT had more risk of female breast cancer and less risk of leukemia than unirradiated patients (P < .05). Patients treated with any CT (CT+CRT) had increased SM rates compared with those who did not receive CT [O/E 1.33 (95% CI 1.30-1.35) vs 1.24 (95% CI 1.21-1.26), respectively], which included increased risks of leukemia, Kaposi sarcoma, kidney, pancreas, rectal, head and neck, and colon cancers and decreased risk of prostate cancer (P < 0.05). When stratified by four treatment groups (no CT or RT, RT alone, CT alone, CRT), there were no differences in SM rates between the no therapy and RT alone groups (O/E 1.24 95% CI 1.21-1.27 and O/E 1.23 95% CI 1.18-1.28 respectively). CT alone and CRT were associated with increased risk of secondary malignancy compared to the no therapy group (O/E 1.32 95% CI 1.29-1.35 and O/E 1.35 95% CI 1.29-1.40 respectively). CT alone was also associated with increased risk of leukemia, Kaposi sarcoma, kidney, head and neck and thyroid cancers, and a decreased risk of prostate cancer (P < .05). CRT was associated with increased risk of head and neck and female breast cancers (P < .05). There was no difference in the overall risk of SM between the CT alone and CRT groups and female breast cancer was the only site at which CRT was associated with higher risk than CT alone. Of note, female breast cancer risk was highest in those diagnosed under 25 years of age and at latencies of greater than 10 years. Conclusions: This is the largest study to examine secondary malignancy risk in patients with NHL and has the longest follow-up. Patients treated with RT alone did not have an increased SM risk compared to those who received no RT or CT. The risk of SMs was increased overall for NHL survivors and varied with treatment modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Small intracranial aneurysms are being increasingly detected while the rupture risk is not well-understood. We aimed to develop rupture-risk models of small aneurysms by combining clinical, morphologic, and hemodynamic information based on machine learning techniques and to test the models in external validation datasets. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2010 to December 2016, five hundred four consecutive patients with only small aneurysms (<5 mm) detected by CTA and invasive cerebral angiography (or surgery) were retrospectively enrolled and randomly split into training (81%) and internal validation (19%) sets to derive and validate the proposed machine learning models (support vector machine, random forest, logistic regression, and multilayer perceptron). Hemodynamic parameters were obtained using computational fluid dynamics simulation. External validation was performed in other hospitals to test the models. RESULTS The support vector machine performed the best with areas under the curve of 0.88 (95% CI, 0.85-0.92) and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.74-0.98) in the training and internal validation datasets, respectively. Feature ranks suggested hemodynamic parameters, including stable flow pattern, concentrated inflow streams, and a small (<50%) flow-impingement zone, and the oscillatory shear index coefficient of variation, were the best predictors of aneurysm rupture. The support vector machine showed an area under the curve of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.69-0.94) in the external validation dataset, and no significant difference was found for the areas under the curve between internal and external validation datasets (P = .21). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed that machine learning had a good performance in predicting the rupture status of small aneurysms in both internal and external datasets. Aneurysm hemodynamic parameters were regarded as the most important predictors.

Abstract
1. Granulosa cells (GCs) are involved in folliculogenesis, follicular development, and atresia. Previous studies have shown that microRNA-181a-5p (miR-181a-5p) and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) are involved in GC proliferation and apoptosis, and SIRT1 has been predicted as one target of miR-181a-5p. However, there are few studies with poultry.2. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-181a-5p in granulosa layers during geese ovarian follicular development. A methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to assess the viability of geese granulosa cells treated with miR-181a-5p mimic or inhibitor. The binding sites between the SIRT1 3'-UTR region and miR-181a-5p were evaluated using a luciferase reporter assay system. SIRT1 mRNA levels were detected using qRT-PCR after transfection with miR-181a-5p mimic and inhibitor.3. The miR-181a-5p suppressed geese GC viability and regulated the mRNA expression of viability-related genes in geese GCs. SIRT1 was a target gene of miR-181a-5p and miR-181a-5p suppressed its mRNA expression.4. The miR-181a-5p may target and inhibit SIRT1 expression, thus suppressing GC viability by regulating viability-related key genes.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal symptom, which can be developed in multiple clinical diseases. It is widely recognized that intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD) is one of the leading causes of LBP. However, the pathogenesis of IVD-related LBP is still controversial, and the treatment means are also insufficient to date. In recent decades, the role of structure and function changes of sensory nervous system in the induction and the maintenance of LBP is drawing more and more attention. With the progress of IVDD, IVD cell exhaustion and extracellular matrix degradation result in IVD structural damage, while neovascularization, innervation and inflammatory activation further deteriorate the microenvironment of IVD. New nerve ingrowth into degenerated IVD amplifies the impacts of IVD-derived nociceptive molecules on sensory endings. Moreover, IVDD is usually accompanied with disc herniation, which could injure and inflame affected nerves. Under mechanical and pro-inflammatory stimulation, the pain-transmitting pathway exhibits a sensitized function state and ultimately leads to LBP. Hence, relevant pathogenic factors, such as neurotrophins, ion channels, inflammatory factors, etc., are supposed to serve as promising therapeutic targets for LBP. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively summarize the current evidence on 1) the pathological changes of sensory nervous system during IVDD and their association with LBP, and 2) potential therapeutic strategies for LBP targeting relevant pathogenic factors.

Abstract
Objective: Currently, various treatments such as hemorrhoidectomy, ligation and sclerotherapy injection can be applied in grade II or III hemorrhoids. This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy, safety and economy between Shaobei injection and elastic band ligation in treating patients with grade II or grade III hemorrhoids. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was used. Clinical data of 60 patients with grade II or grade III hemorrhoids at Department of Anorectal Surgery of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University between January 2019 and October 2019 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to surgical methods. Patients in the Shaobei group received Shaobei injection (n=28), and those in the ligation group received elastic band ligation (n=32). Inclusion criteria: (1) diagnosis of grade II or III hemorrhoid; (2) application of Shaobei injection or elastic band ligation; (3) age between 18-75 years old. Exclusion criteria: (1) comorbidity with anal fissure, anal fistula, anal sinusitis or other perianal diseases; (2) patients with mental disorder or poor compliance; (3) incomplete clinical or follow-up data. Recurrent rate, postoperative pain, anal edema, anal distension, total cost of hospitalization, length of hospitalization, and postoperative life quality EQ-5D-3L score were compared between the two groups at postoperative 6-month. Results: No significant difference was observed in the baseline data (including Nystrom hemorrhoid symptom score) between the two groups (all P>0.05), except gender ratio [male proportion: Shaobei 75% (21/28) vs. ligation 37.5%(12/32), χ(2)=8.485, P=0.004]. No significant difference in recurrent rate was found between the two groups [14.3% (4/28) vs. 9.4% (3/32), χ(2)=0.035, P=0.851]. Compared to the ligation group, Shaobei group showed less pain at postoperative day 1 [VAS median (range): 2 (1-6) vs. 3 (1-7), Z=2.814, P=0.005] and postoperative day 7 [VAS median (range): 0 (0-2) vs. 1 (0-4), Z=3.149, P=0.002]; lower anal edema ratio at postoperative day 1 [10.7% (3/28) vs. 34.4% (11/32), Z=4.673, P=0.037]; lower anal distension ratio at postoperative day 1 [7.1% (2/28) vs. 28.1% (9/32), Z=4.391, P=0.048]; less hospitalization cost [(6343.5±1444.1) yuan vs. (10 587.1± 1719.0) yuan, t=12.515, P<0.001] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [median (range): 1 (1-5) days vs. 3 (1-6) days, Z=5.879, P<0.001]. The EQ-5D-3L scores of two groups were significantly improved six months after treatment [Shaobei group: (0.90±0.16) vs. (0.73±0.14); ligation group: (0.91±0.13) vs. (0.74±0.10); both P<0.001], while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=0.130, P=0.897). No complications such as massive hemorrhage, infection, iatrogenic anal fistula, rectal stricture and local induration occurred after the injection. Conclusions: Shaobei injection is effective and safe in treating grade II or III hemorrhoids. Compared with elastic band ligation, it can reduce morbidity of complications and hospitalization expenses.
