Background And Aims: Crohn's disease (CD) exhibits escalating incidence in China, particularly in coastal regions undergoing rapid industrialization. We aim to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of CD and identify factors influencing diagnostic delay in the Yancheng region of China.
Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on CD patients from two tertiary medical centers (Yancheng TCM Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine and Yancheng No.

Conventional CSLBs cause rapid tissue damage due to electrochemical reactions, necessitating the development of safer battery designs. This study aimed to develop and evaluate an improved CSLB with a titanium-clad design to reduce electrochemical reactions and delay esophageal tissue damage in cases of accidental ingestion.
