Background And Objective: Realistic modeling the dissection of brain tissue is of key importance for simulation of brain tumor removal in virtual neurosurgery systems. However, existing methods are unable to characterize inelastic behaviors of brain tissue, such as plastic deformation and dissection evolution, making it ineffective in simulating brain tumor removal procedures.
Methods: In this paper, a model of fibrous soft tissue dissection for the simulation of brain tumor removal is proposed. A dissection variable of representative volume element is used to characterize the dissection state of the fibrous soft tissue. The evolution of dissection with elastic-plastic deformation under the effects of external loads is presented.
Results: Simulation results show that the proposed model provides realistic, stable and intuitive results in the simulation of fracture in fibrous soft tissues. As the external load increases, the fibrous soft tissue begins to crack, with the cracks growing and multiplying until they eventually merge to form a fracture. The proposed model is incorporated into the simulation of brain tumor removal.
Conclusions: The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of modeling fibrous soft tissue dissection with elastic-plastic deformation. A relative high degree of realistic visual feedback is achieved.

Currently, materials with specific, strictly defined functional properties are becoming increasingly important. A promising strategy for achieving these properties involves developing methods that facilitate the formation of hierarchical porous materials that combine micro-, meso-, and macropores in their structure. Macropores facilitate effective mass transfer of substances to the meso- and micropores, where further adsorption or reaction processes can occur.

Electrospun nanofiber films exhibited significant potential as food freshness indicators (FFI) due to their structural advantages. Herein, a novel electrospinning film based on wheat gluten (WG), gelatin, and anthocyanins was fabricated to detect the freshness of shrimp. Compared with pure WG, an adjusted ratio of the WG to gelatin (W16E9, 16:9) improved physicochemical properties, reducing viscosity from 3.

This study presents an innovative approach to improve implant biointegration and reduce implant-associated infections using porous poly(vinyl formal) nanocomposite matrices incorporated with gold nanoparticles and antimicrobial/anticancer drugs for plastic surgery applications. The porous matrices were characterized using physicochemical techniques and in vitro biochemical assays. The results demonstrated the biocompatibility of PVF nanocomposites and their potential for functionalization with various bioactive molecules and drugs, thereby enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare soft tissue tumour that rarely behaves malignant. We report a radical resection of a mediastinal angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, which grew invasively into the pulmonary artery wall, was adherent to the posterior aorta and close to the main stem of the left coronary artery. A transection of the aorta was performed using cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest for a safe and radical removal that resulted in symptom relief.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a malignancy originating from soft tissues and ranks among the most prevalent soft tissue sarcomas in adults. The considerable complexity and heterogeneity of MFH contribute to an obscure pathogenesis, presenting with atypical clinical manifestations and pathologic features that complicate the clinical diagnostic process. Typically, MFH manifests in the extremities, trunk, and retroperitoneum, while occurrences in the head and neck regions are exceedingly rare.
