We performed a subtotal esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction by hand assisted laparoscopic surgery and laparoscopic sigmoidectomy simultaneously for the patient with middle thoracic esophageal cancer and lateral spreading tumor in the sigmoid colon. Upper abdominal and transumbilical incisions were made and Lap Discs (regular, mini) were set respectively. Two 12 mm ports were inserted in the right flank and lower quadrant, and two 5 mm ports were inserted in the left flank and lower quadrant. First, by using video-scope from upper Lap Disc, laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed. Anastomosis was performed via lower Lap Disc. For the gastric tube reconstruction, upper Lap Disc was used for hand assistance, and video-scope was inserted from lower Lap Disc. The patient was discharged at 26 days after surgery without complications. In conclusion, our surgical procedure provided a good surgical view and decreased a surgical stress.

Discectomy is the surgical standard of care to relieve low back pain caused by intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. However, there remains annulus fibrosus (AF) defect and nucleus pulposus (NP) degeneration, which often result in recurrent herniation (re-herniation). Herein, we develop a polyphenol-modified waterborne polyurethane bioadhesives (PPU-glues) to promote therapy prognosis after discectomy.

- The study explores the causal relationship between circulating inflammatory proteins (CIPs) and four types of spinal degenerative diseases (SDDs), using Mendelian randomization to assess this connection.
- Various genetic data were analyzed for CIPs and SDDs, employing methods like inverse variance weighted to ensure the validity of the findings and to examine reverse causality.
- Results revealed specific CIPs that could either increase or decrease the risk of conditions like cervical spondylosis and prolapsed discs, suggesting potential genetic targets for further research in understanding the mechanisms behind SDDs.

Utilization of injectable hydrogels stands as a paradigm of minimally invasive intervention in the context of intervertebral disc degeneration treatment. Restoration of nucleus pulposus (NP) function exerts a profound influence in alleviating back pain. This study introduces an innovative class of injectable shear-thinning hydrogels, founded on quaternized chitosan (QCS), gelatin (GEL), and laponite (LAP) with the capacity for sustained release of the anti-inflammatory drug, celecoxib (CLX).

Article Synopsis
- Acute toxicity assays are important for checking the safety of the environment, especially during emergencies.
- Instead of using expensive and large sensors like photomultiplier tubes (PMT), this new system uses smartphones with good cameras to detect toxicity.
- A portable detection system was created that works well with smartphone cameras and provides accurate results, making it easier to monitor environmental safety.
