Background: Several studies highlighted an inferior outcome of R1 resection for colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRLM); it is still unclear whether directly involved margins (R1-contact) are associated with a poorer outcome compared to R1 < 1 mm. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact on surgical margin recurrence (SMR) of R1-contact vs R1 < 1 mm patients.
Methods: Patients who underwent surgery for CRLM between 2009-2018 with both R1 resections on final histology were included and compared in terms of recurrence and survival. Factors associated with SMR were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results: Out of 477, 77 (17.2%) patients showed R1 resection (53 R1-Contact and 24 R1 < 1 mm). Overall recurrence rate was 79.2% (R1 < 1 mm = 70.8% vs R1-contact group = 83%, P = .222). Median disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were significantly higher in R1 < 1 mm vs R1-contact group (93 vs 55 months; P = .025 and 69 vs 46 months; P = .038, respectively). The SMR rate was higher in R1-contact compared to R1 < 1 mm group (30.2% vs 8.3%; P = .036). At univariate analysis, age, number of metastases, open surgical approach, RAS status, and R1-contact were associated with SMR. At multivariate analysis, R1-contact margin was the only factor independently associated with higher SMR (OR = 5.6; P = .046).
Conclusions: R1-contact margin is independently associated with SMR after liver resection for CRLM. Patients with R1-contact margin will also experience poorer DFS and DSS.

Microbial communities thrive in virtually every habitat on Earth and are essential to the function of diverse ecosystems. Most microbial habitats are not spatially continuous and well-mixed, but rather composed, at the microscale, of many isolated or semi-isolated local patches of different sizes, resulting in partitioning of microbial populations into discrete local populations. The impact of this spatial fragmentation on population dynamics is not well-understood.

Single-molecule orientation-localization microscopy (SMOLM) builds upon super-resolved localization microscopy by imaging orientations and rotational dynamics of individual molecules in addition to their positions. This added dimensionality provides unparalleled insights into nanoscale biophysical and biochemical processes, including the organization of actin networks, movement of molecular motors, conformations of DNA strands, growth and remodeling of amyloid aggregates, and composition changes within lipid membranes. In this review, we discuss recent innovations in SMOLM and cover three key aspects: (1) biophysical insights enabled by labeling strategies that endow fluorescent probes to bind to targets with orientation specificity; (2) advanced imaging techniques that leverage the physics of light-matter interactions and estimation theory to encode orientation information with high fidelity into microscope images; and (3) computational methods that ensure accurate and precise data analysis and interpretation, even in the presence of severe shot noise.

Hypothesis: The surface wettability influences the oversaturation-driven growth of gas bubbles on the surface via the contact angle. Larger contact angles on hydrophobic surfaces compared to hydrophilic ones lead to faster growth of bubbles nucleating at microcavities of identical size.
Experiments: Cylindric micro-cavities were etched in silicon wafers as nucleation sites.

Metal oxide photocatalysts loaded with metal species are extremely important in photocatalysis. The physicochemical states of metal species, as well as the interaction between metal species and support, determine the transfer of charge carriers between the heterointerface, which has a significant impact on photocatalytic activity. Here, we prepared anatase TiO nanosheets (TIO) modified with different Ag species, including single atoms, clusters, and nanoparticles, using a ligand-mediated method.
