Presented is the protocol for co-immobilizing whole-cell biocatalysts for cofactor regeneration and improved reusability, using the production of L-xylulose as an example. The cofactor regeneration is achieved by coupling two Escherichia coli strains expressing functionally complementary enzymes; the whole-cell biocatalyst immobilization is achieved by cell encapsulation in calcium alginate beads.

Here, we introduce a novel approach-Laparoscopic Extracorporeal Knot-Tying for Uterine Vessel Occlusion during Hysterectomy with Cervical Cerclage in Large Uteri. A laparoscopic extracorporeal knot-pusher is used to perform cervical cerclage, achieving complete occlusion of uterine arteries. Thereafter, the corpus uteri are excised to enhance visibility and facilitate the operative field.

Optical clearing techniques are revolutionizing the way tissues are visualized. In this report we describe modifications of the original Clear Lipid-exchanged Acrylamide-hybridized Rigid Imaging-compatible Tissue-hYdrogel (CLARITY) protocol that yields more consistent and less expensive results.
FAQs
Containment is intended to keep fragmented tissue within a controlled specimen-handling system during morcellation. This matters because tissue disruption can create a risk of spreading undiagnosed malignant tissue. The containment approach must therefore be integrated with the instrument and surgical technique, rather than treated as a separate step, especially when minimally invasive removal is being considered.
The powered rotating blade provides the cutting action that reduces bulky tissue into smaller pieces. This allows removal through a minimally invasive access site while requiring controlled operation near or within the containment system. Its function directly links tissue fragmentation with the procedure’s potential benefit, but also makes careful technique important because cutting changes how the specimen is handled.
Patient selection is central because the safety of tissue fragmentation depends partly on whether undiagnosed malignant tissue could be present. If malignancy is fragmented, disease may spread. Before choosing this approach, clinicians therefore need a careful risk assessment and must consider whether the intended minimally invasive benefit is appropriate for the individual clinical situation.
Between procedures, reusable components undergo a sequence of cleaning, inspection, sterilization, and functional testing. Cleaning addresses residual tissue and other contamination, inspection evaluates component condition, sterilization prepares the instrument for subsequent use, and functional testing confirms that it operates as intended. Completing the full sequence supports both infection control and reliable performance in later procedures.
Inspection and functional testing provide separate safeguards during reprocessing. Inspection checks the condition of reusable components after use and cleaning, while functional testing assesses whether the instrument remains operational. These steps are important because sterilization alone does not establish mechanical readiness. Together, they help confirm that the device is suitable for another procedure.
Surgeons may consider this instrument in selected gynecologic and other laparoscopic operations when bulky tissue must be removed through a minimally invasive access site. The potential benefit is support for smaller incisions and laparoscopic handling, but use is not automatic. Patient selection, malignancy risk assessment, containment, reprocessing, and operative technique all influence whether it is appropriate.
