Improved Gynecomastia Surgery: Power-Assisted Liposuction With Stab-Flatten Technique Without Resection.

Background: Gynecomastia, the enlargement of male breast tissue, significantly impacts both physical and psychological health. Surgical intervention is often necessary, utilizing various techniques to reduce glandular and fatty tissue. This paper introduces an innovative surgical method combining power-assisted liposuction with the stab-flatten technique to enhance precision and cosmetic results.

[Rho GTPase-activating protein 11A (ARHGAP11A) is up-regulated in lung adenocarcinoma and positively associated with poor prognosis].

Objective To clarify the expression and clinical significance of ARHGAP11A in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods The expression of ARHGAP11A in lung adenocarcinoma and normal tissue was obtained and analyzed by searching online databases such as Oncomine, and bioinformatic analysis was carried out on the relevant clinicopathological parameters and survival data of lung cancer patients. PrognoScan prognostic analysis database was used to analyze the relationship between ARHGAP11A gene expression and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Production of algae-based biodiesel using the continuous catalytic Mcgyan process.

This study demonstrates the production of algal biodiesel from Dunaliella tertiolecta, Nannochloropsis oculata, wild freshwater microalgae, and macroalgae lipids using a highly efficient continuous catalytic process. The heterogeneous catalytic process uses supercritical methanol and porous titania microspheres in a fixed bed reactor to catalyze the simultaneous transesterification and esterification of triacylglycerides and free fatty acids, respectively, to fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel). Triacylglycerides and free fatty acids were converted to alkyl esters with up to 85% efficiency as measured by 300 MHz (1)H NMR spectroscopy.

Practice and theory of high temperature liquid chromatography.

High temperature liquid chromatography (HTLC) exists in a temperature region beyond ambient (ca. 40 degrees C) and below super critical temperatures. The promises of HTLC, such as increased analysis speed, enhanced separation productivity, "green" LC with pure water mobile phases coupled to universal FID detection, and fast analysis of complex samples by combination with fast 2-D techniques, have become an option for routine practice.

Synthesis of micron diameter polybutadiene-encapsulated non-porous zirconia particles for ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography.

In this study, 1-microm diameter polybutadiene-encapsulated non-porous zirconia particles were synthesized, slurry packed into 50-microm I.D. fused-silica capillary columns, and evaluated using ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography.

Elevated-temperature ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography using very small polybutadiene-coated nonporous zirconia particles.

Capillary columns packed with small diameter particles typically lead to low permeability and long separation times in high-performance liquid chromatography. Ultrahigh pressures (>10,000 p.s.
