Objective: In direct aneurysm surgery, tentative clipping is frequently applied to facilitate aneurysm dissection. However, no systemic review on the pros and cons of tentative clipping has been conducted. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and concerns of tentative clipping.
Methods: A total of 867 direct clippings in 737 patients were performed to treat intracranial aneurysms between 1994 and 2015. We retrospectively investigated the frequency, purpose, location, and adequacy of tentative clipping.
Results: Tentative clipping was performed in 149 of the 867 aneurysms that were clipped (17.2%). The purpose of tentative clipping was to dissect an aneurysm in 141 (94.6%), separate the vessels from the surface of a sac in 5 (3.4%), and prevent slipping of the final clip in 3 (2.0%) cases. Further dissection revealed that tentative clipping completely excluded the blood flow into the aneurysm in 126 (84.6%) of the 149 cases and incompletely shut it out in 23 (15.4%) cases. Five (21.7%) of the 23 patients with incomplete clipping had intraoperative aneurysm ruptures subsequently.
Conclusions: Tentative clipping facilitates dissection of the aneurysm sac from the surrounding structure but can occasionally lead to intraoperative rupture. Before applying tentative clips, surgeons should prepare for temporary clipping or additional tentative clipping in case of a rupture.

Background: The incidence of benign anastomotic stenosis (BAS) after radical surgery for rectal cancer ranges from 2 to 30%. There are few data regarding the factors related to its occurrence. One of these factors is the diameter of the circular mechanical staplers (CMS) used.

Instrument pose estimation is a key demand in computer-aided surgery, and its main challenges lie in two aspects: Firstly, the difficulty of obtaining stable corresponding image feature points due to the instruments' high refraction and complicated background, and secondly, the lack of labeled pose data. This study aims to tackle the pose estimation problem of surgical instruments in the current endoscope system using a single endoscopic image. More specifically, a weakly supervised method based on the instrument's image segmentation contour is proposed, with the effective assistance of synthesized endoscopic images.

Intact protein mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with liquid chromatography was applied to characterize the pharmacokinetics and stability profiles of therapeutic proteins. However, limitations from chromatography, including throughput and carryover, result in challenges with handling large sample numbers. Here, we combined intact protein MS with multiple front-end separations, including affinity capture, SampleStream, and high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), to perform high-throughput and specific mass measurements of a multivalent antibody with one antigen-binding fragment (Fab) fused to an immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody.

Background: Intraoperative rupture of an aneurysm is potentially devastating. The thin-walled regions (TIWRs) of an aneurysm are associated with rupture risk. This study aimed to describe the feasibility and concerns of the "cutoff clipping" technique for TIWRs disposition of certain complex aneurysms.
