Background/aim: Understanding different surgical approaches and anatomical landmarks adjacent to the splenic artery (SpA) is important for safe robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP). Herein, we propose our standardized RDP techniques, focusing on these issues.
Patients And Methods: Between April 2021 and April 2022, 19 patients who underwent RDP at our Institution were reviewed. Anatomical patterns of the SpA were classified into three types: Type 1, no pancreatic parenchyma on the root of the SpA; type 2, any pancreatic parenchyma on the root of the SpA; and type 3, dorsal pancreatic artery around the bifurcation of the common hepatic artery and SpA. Next, the surgical strategy for approaching the SPA was determined according to the location of the pancreatic transection line: On the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or on the left side of the root of the SpA.
Results: There were seven cases of type 1, nine cases of type 2, and three cases of type 3. When transecting the pancreas on the SMV, the SpA-first ligation technique was used for type 1 SpA anatomy, and the pancreas-first division technique was applied for types 2 and 3. In patients in whom the pancreas was transected at the left side of the root of the SpA, the SpA-first ligation technique was used.
Conclusion: Our standardized surgical strategy based on anatomical landmarks and focusing on the approach to the SpA in RDP is demonstrated. Our strategy should help trainees approach the SpA and perform RDP safely.

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a major crop in the Mediterranean basin, vulnerable to drought at any crop stage. Landraces are traditional, locally adapted varieties with greater resilience to water scarcity than modern cultivars.

Rapid and accurate detection of protein content is essential for ensuring the quality of maize. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) technology faces limitations due to surface effects and sample homogeneity issues when measuring the protein content of whole maize grains. Focusing on maize grain powder can significantly improve the quality of data and the accuracy of model predictions.

Serum biochemical markers are widely used in clinical practice but often require expensive, specific reagents, complex instruments, and prolonged result waiting times. Infrared spectroscopy offers multiple advantages for serum analysis, such as reagent-free testing and the ability to quickly and directly measure multiple parameters simultaneously. This study collected serum samples from 66 healthy subjects to explore the relationship between dried serum infrared spectra and biochemical parameters, and to investigate the feasibility of simultaneously quantifying nine major serum components using dried serum infrared spectra.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, Atractylodis Rhizoma (AR) is commonly used for various diseases due to its excellent ability to dry dampness and strengthen the spleen, especially popular in East Asia. The aim of this study is to proposed Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) in combination with chemometric methods for the rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of AR adulteration with other types of powder. Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was used to construct the classification models the best, with the First-order Derivative (F-D) preprocessing method.
