Objective: To explore the role and significance of liver hanging tape passed through the retrohepatic tunnel developed by dissecting the tissue plane between anterior surface of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and caudate lobe, in order to be substitute for control of in- and out-flow blood vessels in difficult hepatectomies.
Methods: Retrohepatic tunnel was developed by dissecting the anterior surface of the retrohepatic portion of the IVC, 7 difficult hepatectomies were performed with the use of liver hanging tape and hemostatic plate.
Results: Liver hanging tape was placed successfully in 7 cases. VIII segmentectomy, right hemihepatectomy, left hemihepatectomy and right trilobectomy plus complete caudate lobectomy were performed, there was no complication related to this maneuver.
Conclusion: It is feasible for placing liver hanging tape through the retrohepatic tunnel. In addition, it has extensive indications and minimal influence on hemodynamic response. It is a better way for the difficult hepatectomy and for harvesting the liver graft in living related liver transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how biophysical factors, specifically cell size and adhesion capacity, affect the distribution and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for tissue repair.
- Researchers utilized surface modification techniques and a hanging drop method to alter the size and adhesion of MSCs, then tracked their biodistribution in living rodents using PET imaging.
- Results indicate that while adhesion capacity modifications didn't significantly impact lung entrapment, reducing MSC size enhanced their ability to migrate to other organs, highlighting that cell size is a key factor in MSC localization.

Introduction: Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphoid cells capable of directly killing target cells while modulating immune effector responses. Despite their multifunctional capacities, a limited understanding of their plasticity and heterogeneity has impeded progress in developing effective NK cell-based cancer therapies. In this study, we investigated NK cell tissue heterogeneity in relation to their phenotype and effector functions against lung tumors.
