An isolated organ feasibility study of deformable self-assembled magnetic anastomosis rings for esophageal stenosis anastomosis.

Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) for esophageal stenosis requires the insertion of magnets through two channels, transoral and transgastrostomy. Herein, we designed a Y-Z deformable self-assembled magnetic anastomosis ring (Y-Z DSAMAR) for esophageal stricture anastomosis through the transoral passage only. We introduce a Y-Z DSAMAR and verify its feasibility for single-access esophageal stenosis anastomosis in isolated organs.

Comparative growth inhibition of 6PPD and 6PPD-Q on microalgae Selenastrum capricornutum, with insights into 6PPD-induced phototoxicity and oxidative stress.

Widespread environmental detection of tire additive N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its toxic metabolite 6PPD-Q has raised great concerns for their potential impact on aquatic biota. This study investigated the effects of 6PPD and 6PPD-Q on the model green microalgae (Selenastrum capricornutum). Results showed that 6PPD at the concentrations of 1-5 mg·L stimulated S.

Unraveling the fate of 6PPD-Q in aquatic environment: Insights into formation, dissipation, and transformation under natural conditions.

The widespread occurrence of N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPD-Q) in aquatic environments and its hazards to aquatic species underscore the necessity of comprehending its environmental fate. Here, we investigated the transformation from 6PPD to 6PPD-Q and the attenuation of 6PPD-Q in surface water under natural conditions. Contrary to prior findings, this work revealed that 6PPD-Q and its precursor 6PPD-OH/6PPD-(OH), were not detected through target analysis and suspect screening during 6PPD transformation in the surface water under the natural conditions.

Reduction in antimicrobial resistance in a watershed after closure of livestock farms.

Natural environments play a crucial role in transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Development of methods to manage antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural environments are usually limited to the laboratory or field scale, partially due to the complex dynamics of transmission between different environmental compartments. Here, we conducted a nine-year longitudinal profiling of ARGs at a watershed scale, and provide evidence that restrictions on livestock farms near water bodies significantly reduced riverine ARG abundance.

Comparative study on the establishment efficacy of four types of animal models of rectovaginal fistula in rabbits.

Various surgical methods have so far been developed for treating rectovaginal fistula (RVF), each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The lack of standardized animal models of RVF is a major reason for the failure to establish a unified and effective surgical method for the treatment of RVF. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of an RVF animal model by magnetic compression and compare it with the traditional modeling method.

Feasibility experiment of a novel deformable self-assembled magnetic anastomosis ring (DSAMAR) for gastrointestinal anastomosis through a natural orifice.

Methods: Two groups of magnets of the same sizes but different magnetic forces were designed and produced.

A novel magnetic compression technique for establishment of a vesicovaginal fistula model in Beagle dogs.

Vesicovaginal fistula lacks a standard, established animal model, making surgical innovations for this condition challenging. Herein, we aimed to non-surgically establish vesicovaginal fistula using the magnetic compression technique, and the feasibility of this method was explored using eight female Beagle dogs as model animals. In these dogs, cylindrical daughter and parent magnets were implanted into the bladder and vagina, respectively, after anesthesia, and the positions of these magnets were adjusted under X-ray supervision to make them attract each other, thus forming the structure of daughter magnet-bladder wall-vaginal wall-parent magnet.

Animal experimental study on magnetic anchor technique-assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection of early gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) has high morbidity and mortality. Moreover, because GC has no typical symptoms in the early stages, most cases are already in the advanced stages by the time the symptoms appear, thus resulting in poor prognosis and a low survival rate. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) can realize the early detection and diagnosis of GC and become the main surgical method for early GC.
