Article Synopsis
- Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for energy consumption, and its dysfunction can lead to metabolic diseases and obesity, especially as we age.
- The study identifies that perineurial cells, which have reduced antioxidant capacity due to lacking superoxide dismutase 2, impair BAT function by causing sympathetic nerve denervation and reducing fat oxidation.
- Targeting Meflin-expressing stromal cells may be a promising strategy to strengthen BAT function and combat age-related metabolic issues.
Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effectiveness of various hepatic functional tests, specifically modified ALBI score, indocyanine green clearance (ICG-R15), and 99mTc-galactosyl human serum albumin (LHL15) scintigraphy, in predicting posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) among patients undergoing liver surgery.
- - Out of 413 patients studied, 19% experienced PHLF, with major hepatectomy, mALBI grade, ICG-R15, and presence of esophagogastric varices identified as significant independent risk factors for developing this complication.
- - The results suggested that LHL15, esophagogastric varices assessment, and the mALBI
Identifying specific markers of adipose stem and progenitor cells (ASPCs) in vivo is crucial for understanding the biology of white adipose tissues (WAT). PDGFRα-positive perivascular stromal cells represent the best candidates for ASPCs. This cell lineage differentiates into myofibroblasts that contribute to the impairment of WAT function.

- The study investigates the impact of task division among console surgeons during robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) on surgical outcomes and education from 2009 to 2023.
- It compares two methods: a single console surgeon versus multiple surgeons, revealing that the multiple approach significantly reduced operation time and postoperative complications.
- The findings suggest that using a multiple approach not only improves surgical results but also enhances learning opportunities for less experienced surgeons.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares two surgical techniques for distal pancreatectomy: robot-assisted approach (RAA) using a laparoscopic vessel-sealing device (LAVSD) and pure-robotic approach (PRA).
- RAA demonstrated significantly shorter operation times and fewer major complications compared to PRA among 62 patients analyzed.
- Despite no statistically significant difference in hospital stay duration, RAA is considered a safe and effective alternative for less experienced surgeons.
