One-half layer pancreaticojejunostomy with the rear wall of the pancreas reinforced: A valuable anastomosis technique.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most common and serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). To effectively reduce the incidence of POPF, we designed a new type of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ), which was termed one-half layer PJ with the rear wall of the pancreas reinforced.

Aim: To explore the clinical application value of this new technique.

Use of GLP1RAs and occurrence of respiratory disorders: A meta-analysis of large randomized trials of GLP1RAs.

Objectives: No large sample studies have been designed to evaluate the efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) in the primary and secondary prevention of respiratory disorders. We aimed at evaluating the relationship between use of GLP1RAs and occurrence of 12 kinds of respiratory disorders.

Methods: Large randomized placebo-controlled trials of GLP1RAs were included.

MicroRNAs involving in cold, wounding and salt stresses in Triticum aestivum L.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in post-transcriptional regulation and act as important endogenous regulators to various stresses. Cold, wounding and high-salinity are three common environmental stress stimuli influencing crops growth and development. In this study, we identified 31 known miRNAs and 3 novel miRNAs in wheat.
