Application of laparoscopic surgery(Lap)for colorectal cancer has expanded, and laparoscopic total pelvic exenteration (TPE)of locally advanced rectal cancer(LARC)invading the urogenital organs has been introduced in some institutions. In our institute, we have performed Lap TPE and posterior-TPE(PPE)in a total of 6 LARC patients so far. Here, we report the surgical technique of Lap TPE, and the associated surgical and short-term outcomes. We performed Lap TPE and Lap PPE in 3 patients each. Operation time was approximately 562 min, and the blood loss was 310 mL on an average. No patient developed postoperative complications above Clavien-Dindo Grade Ⅲ. One patient exhibited recurrence in the liver and another in peritoneum in the Lap PPE group. No recurrence was observed in the Lap TPE group(median follow-up period: 24.5 months). Although Lap TPE and PPE are difficult to perform and time consuming, it is suggested that these procedures may help reduce the intraoperative bleeding volume and shorten the length of postoperative hospital stay compared to open TPE and PPE.

Structural adhesives are currently applied in the assembly of automobiles, aircraft, and buildings. In particular, epoxy adhesives are widely used due to their excellent mechanical strength and durability. However, cured epoxy resins are typically rigid and inflexible; thus, they have low peel and impact strength.

Patient is 69-year-old man, who underwent a high anterior resection with laparoscopic support for rectal cancer. The patient was diagnosed with anastomotic recurrent rectal cancer after 14 months after surgery. The pelvic MRI scan showed invasion of the prostate and seminal vesicles, so NACRT was performed.

Abnormally-expressed leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) is associated with diverse physiological and pathological disorders; hence developing a highly selective and sensitive detection system for LAP is of great significance. Herein, a fluorescent light-up system with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristic, (DPA-TPE-Leu) has been developed for detecting LAP, in which the recognition unit l-leucine amide group also acts as the hydrophilic moiety. Upon LAP-triggered enzymatic reaction, l-leucine amide moiety is cleaved from the probe molecule, resulting in the formation and aggregation of the hydrophobic reaction product (DPE-TPE-OH) with AIE effect and thus giving out the turn-on green fluorescence.
