Published: March 2010

We adapt a scanning fluorescence correlation spectroscopy technique to measure the structure factor of complex fluid systems and present the first measurements of the structure of semidilute solutions of long DNA polymers. The measured structure factors exhibit screening effects which, as expected for semidilute polymer solutions, grow stronger with increasing DNA concentration c. The measured concentration dependence of the screening length xi proportional to c{0.53+/-0.02} is unusual, but can be understood within the framework of a marginal solutions theory for semiflexible polymers.

A Novel Method for Hemorrhage Control During Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy with Splenic Vessel Preservation: Triple Occlusion.

Ann Surg Oncol

January 2025

Division of Pancreatic Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Introduction: Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) has the advantages of reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and a better postoperative quality of life compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP). Meanwhile, spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy is the preferred technique for low-grade malignant and benign tumors located in pancreatic body and tail, since it preserves the immune function of the spleen. The splenic-vessel-preserving (SVP) Kimura technique and splenic vessel resection Warshaw technique are the two primary procedures.

Introduction: Pancoast tumors encompass any tumor located on the lung apex, extending into structures in the thoracic inlet and, often, leading to the characteristic clinical syndrome. The main goal of this study is to analyze the response to multimodal treatment and outcome of patients with Pancoast tumors.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort single center study of patients with superior sulcus nonsmall cell lung carcinomas who underwent surgery between January of 2011 and February of 2022.

Internally Submerged, Tapered, Bone-level Dental Implants in the Anterior Esthetic Region.

J Craniofac Surg

November 2024

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dental Research Institute, School of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea.

Background: Aesthetics is a crucial consideration in the anterior region, alongside dental implant survival and marginal bone loss (MBL). Bone-level implants are advantageous in the esthetic zone as they create a natural emergence profile with the use of customized abutments. This study aimed to assess the esthetic outcomes of internally submerged, tapered, bone-level dental implants and to evaluate associated alveolar bone changes.

Background: Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) is an advanced technology increasingly utilized in orthopedic surgery for its ability to provide real-time intraoperative guidance. Its application in spinal surgery is evolving rapidly, particularly for complex cases like tumor lesions. Spinal osteoblastomas, characterized by their benign nature, primarily affect the posterior elements of the spine.
