Background: Laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR) for small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is now widely accepted, but its application for large GISTs remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LWR for suspected large (≥5 cm) gastric GISTs.
Methods: Retrospective review of 82 consecutive patients who underwent attempted LWR for suspected gastric GIST. LWR for large (≥5 cm) (n = 23) tumors was compared with LWR for small (<5 cm) tumors (n = 59). The 23 patients with LWR for large tumors were also compared to 36 consecutive patients who underwent open wedge resection (OWR) for large tumors.
Results: Comparison between patients who underwent LWR for large versus small tumors demonstrated that resection of large tumors was associated with a longer operating time. There was no difference in other perioperative outcomes, and oncological outcomes such as frequency of close margins (≤1 mm) and recurrence-free survival. Comparison between patients who underwent LWR versus OWR for large tumors showed that LWR was associated with decreased median time to fluid or solid diet, shorter postoperative stay but longer operating times. There was no difference in oncological outcomes.
Conclusion: LWR for suspected large gastric GIST is feasible and safe. It is associated with similar short-term outcomes with LWR for small tumors and favorable short-term outcomes over OWR for large tumors without compromising on oncological outcomes.

Hydrogen production via electrocatalytic water splitting has garnered significant attention, due to the growing demand for clean and renewable energy. However, achieving low overpotential and long-term stability of water splitting catalysts at high current densities remains a major challenge. Herein, a CoP@CoNi layered double hydroxide (LDH) electrode was synthesized via a two-step electrodeposition process, demonstrating oxygen evolution reaction, with an overpotential (ƞ) of 373 mV and a Tafel slope of 64.

Constructing a built-in electric field (BIEF) within heterostructures has emerged as a compelling strategy for advancing electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, the p-n type nanosheet array heterojunction NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF are successfully prepared. The variation in interaction affinity between nitrogen within N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) and Ni/Co induces charge redistribution between Co and Ni in the NiP-NCDs-Co(OH)-NF-3 heterostructure, thereby enhancing the intensity of the BIEF, facilitating electron transfer, and markedly improving OER activity.

Non-precious transition metal-based electrocatalysts with high activities are promising candidates for substituting Pt- or Ru-based electrocatalysts in hydrogen evolution. In this study, we propose core-shell engineering to combine the amorphous NiCoP and crystalline CoP (a-NiCoP/CoP@NF), which requires an ultra-low overpotential of only 26 mV to achieve the benchmark current density of 10 mA cm. Furthermore, it achieves an industrial-level hydrogen evolution current density of 500 mA cm with excellent stability.

Paddlewheel-type diruthenium(II,II) complexes are paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons ( = 1) and can be utilized as versatile building blocks for higher-order structures, such as supramolecular complexes, coordination polymers, and metal-organic frameworks, although they are generally highly air-sensitive. In this study, we developed an air-stable paddlewheel-type diruthenium(II,II) complex with two electron-withdrawing 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylate (npc) ligands, [Ru(μ-npc)(OCMe)] (1). The two acetate ligands in 1 can be replaced by other carboxylate ligands; the solvothermal reactions of 1 with benzoic acid (HOCPh) yields the heteroleptic [Ru(μ-npc)(OCPh)] (2), whereas its reaction with 1,8-naphthyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Hnpc) produces the homoleptic [Ru(μ-npc)(η-npc)] (3).

Two-dimensional (2D) black arsenic phosphorus (b-AsP) material has been attracting considerable attention for its extraordinary properties. However, its application in large-scale device fabrication remains challenging due to the limited scale and irregular shape. Here, we found the special effect of Te upon growth of b-AsP and developed a novel Te-regulated steady growth (Te-SG) strategy to obtain high-quality b-AsP single crystal.
