Background: Liver transplantation (LT) is a critical intervention for individuals with end-stage liver disease; yet, post-transplant problems, especially infections, graft rejection, and chronic liver disease, are often linked to systemic inflammation. Cytokines, small signaling molecules, significantly influence immune responses during and post-liver transplantation. Nonetheless, the intricate relationships among cytokines, immune responses, and the gut microbiota, especially gut dysbiosis, are still inadequately comprehended.

Lateral lumbar interbody fusion(LLIF), including extreme lateral interbody fusion(XLIF) and oblique lateral interbody fusion(OLIF), constitute a treatment option for many lumbar disorders that predominantly cause degenerative disc disease. LLIF is beneficial for managing conditions, such as lumbar spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and adult spinal deformities. LLIF is preferred for enabling indirect decompression of the spinal canal and nerve root foramen, without inducing immediate postoperative damage to the peri-vertebral tissues.

Lumbar foraminal stenosis is a common problem; however, correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment are difficult. This article describes the author's techniques for imaging diagnosis using thin-slice magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and the microsurgical technique of foraminal decompression through the intermuscular approach. Thin-slice MRI consists of 1-mm thickness continuous images of the lumbar spine using a T2-weighted-image-based sequence.

As an important tool for the surgical treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, the safety of mesh must be guaranteed. Although the short-term curative effect of most synthetic mesh is satisfactory, complications often occur due to its material. Planting stem cells on mesh through specific methods may resolve the problems of mesh with poor biocompatibility or an uncontrollable rate o degradation.
