Porous CuNi films are promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting, with their catalytic performance largely influenced by the crystallographic structure and chemical state. In this study, by employing a magnetic field-controlled bubble template-assisted electrodeposition method, CuNi films with a preferred Ni(111) crystal orientation were synthesized. Moreover, adjusting the magnetic field direction during deposition can affect the degree of preferred orientation and, consequently, the electrochemical activity of the films.

Background: Laparoscopic parenchyma-sparing hepatectomy (PSH) is an effective treatment for colorectal liver metastases (CRLMs), but ensuring the safety and radicality of the procedure, particularly for deep-seated tumors, remains challenging. Surgical navigation technologies such as augmented reality navigation (ARN) and indocyanine green fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) are increasingly utilized to guide surgery, yet their efficacy for CRLMs is unclear. This study aims to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of ARN combined with ICG-FI-guided (ARN-FI) laparoscopic PSH for CRLMs.

Background: The regions of the liver with cholestasis caused by biliary tumors or thrombosis can be distinctly identified using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. The authors' team reported the application of bile-duct obstructed area imaging (BOAI) to assist open hepatectomy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) combined with intrahepatic bile duct obstruction previously. This video is the first report of real-time BOAI-guided three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic hepatectomy using a 3D-4K fluorescence imaging system.

Continuously monitorable fluorescence sensors can provide fast, immediate, in-field detection of analytes without tedious process. A simple fluorescent sensor (BN) constructed from naphthol Schiff base was developed for reversible monitoring of F and trace water. Sensor BN showed specific selectivity toward F over other anions giving rise to a fluorescence "turn-on" response.

Background: Segment 2/3 (S2/3) resection, which can preserve more residual liver parenchyma, is a feasible alternative to left lateral sectionectomy. However, it is still challenging to perform anatomical S2/3 resection safely and precisely, especially laparoscopically. This study was designed to evaluate the safety and accuracy of the temporary inflow control of the Glissonean pedicle (TICGL) technique combined with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging in laparoscopic anatomical S2/3 resection.

Anatomical variations of the right hepatic vein, especially large variant right hepatic veins (≥5 mm), have important clinical implications in liver transplantation and resection. This study aimed to evaluate anatomical variations of the right hepatic vein using quantitative three-dimensional visualization analysis. Computed tomography images of 650 patients were retrospectively analyzed, and three-dimensional visualization was applied using the derived data to analyze large variant right hepatic veins.

Traditional food consumption among northern populations is associated with improved nutrition but occasionally can also increase contaminant exposure. High levels of cadmium in the organs of moose from certain regions of the Northwest Territories, Canada, led to the release of consumption notices. These notices recommended that individuals limit their consumption of kidney and liver from moose harvested from the Southern Mackenzie Mountain.
