Objective: Manipulating the instruments during uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (U-VATS) bullectomy requires a relatively large incision. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of next-day discharge following U-VATS bullectomy using an anchoring suture.
Methods: A stapler and a scope were inserted through a single incision in the anchoring group. The bullae were retracted by the suture, which was inserted from outside of the chest wall into the thorax, and then bullectomy was performed. For those in the control group, resection of the bullae was performed with the assistance of a grasping forceps.
Results: The length of the incision of the patients in the anchoring group ([13.2 ± 2.2] mm) was significantly smaller than in the control group ([26.2 ± 3.9] mm). In addition, the number of staplers used in the anchoring group was significantly less than in the control group ([1.2 ± 0.4] vs. [1.4 ± 0.5]). Furthermore, 36 (92.3%) cases in the anchoring group were uneventfully discharged within 24 hours after bullectomy.
Conclusion: Next-day discharge after U-VATS bullectomy through a small incision assisted with an anchoring suture is safe and feasible.

Modern sequencing technologies allow for the addition of short-sequence tags, known as anchors, to both ends of a captured molecule. Anchors are useful in assembling the full-length sequence of a captured molecule as they can be used to accurately determine the endpoints. One representative of such anchor-enabled technology is LoopSeq Solo, a synthetic long read (SLR) sequencing protocol.

2D hybrid perovskites have attracted great interest due to their promising potential in photodetectors. The phase structure, dielectric, and excitonic properties in 2D perovskites play a pivotal role in the performance of the corresponding optoelectronic device. Here a lattice anchoring method is demonstrated to boost carrier mobility in 2D perovskites by tailoring large organic spacer cation layers.

Sequential collaboration describes the incremental process of contributing to online collaborative projects such as Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap. After a first contributor creates an initial entry, subsequent contributors create a sequential chain by deciding whether to adjust or maintain the latest entry which is updated if they decide to make changes. Sequential collaboration has recently been examined as a method for eliciting numerical group judgments.

Background: Tumor cells can drive the senescence of effector T cells by unbalancing their lipid metabolism, thereby limiting adoptive T cell therapy and contributing to tumor immune evasion. Our objective is to provide a feasible strategy for enhancing T cell treatment efficacy against solid tumors.
Methods: In this study, liposomal arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATK) was anchored onto the adoptive T cell surface via bioorthogonal reactions, aiming to specifically inhibit the group IVA cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), a key enzyme facilitating phospholipid metabolism and senescent state of T cells.

Background: A lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is increasingly being utilized to augment an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction because it has been shown to reduce the risk of postreconstruction graft failure or recurrent rotatory instability. Various femoral fixation techniques are available, including the use of an interference screw, staple, or suture anchor.
Purpose: To determine and compare the biomechanical properties of an LET graft when using an interference screw, staple, or suture anchor for the femoral fixation for a modified Lemaire LET.
