A method to measure the persistence length or flexural rigidity of biopolymers is described. The method uses a kinesin-driven microtubule gliding assay to experimentally determine the persistence length of individual microtubules and is adaptable to actin-based gliding assays.

Flexural Stress

When analyzing bending in symmetric members, it's crucial to understand how stresses distribute when subjected to bending moments. This stress distribution is effectively described by applying fundamental mechanics and material science principles, particularly Hooke's Law for elastic materials. Hooke's Law states that within the material's elastic limits, stress is directly proportional to strain. In a member experiencing a bending moment, the strain at any point is relative to its distance...

Laparoscopic Anatomic S7+S8d Resection Preserving Inferior Right Hepatic Vein and S6 with Right Hepatic Vein Transection

2025
We present a laparoscopic technique for anatomic S7+S8d resection with right hepatic vein transection, preserving the inferior right hepatic vein and segment S6. Relying on meticulous anatomical landmarks without intraoperative ultrasound, this approach offers a precise and parenchyma-sparing option for dorsally located right-liver tumors, particularly in settings with limited advanced navigation resources.

Here we describe a newly developed hepatitis B virus (HBV) reporter system to monitor the early stages of the HBV life cycle. This simplified in vitro system will aid in the screening of anti-HBV agents using a high-throughput strategy.
FAQs
Progress begins by addressing the lateral and posterior attachments around the hepatic flexure and then continuing through the peritoneal planes associated with the right and transverse colon. This plane-based release separates bowel from fixed abdominal surfaces, while deliberate identification of nearby organs and vessels helps guide dissection. The practical result is improved exposure of the operative field without treating the flexure as an isolated structure.
The hepatic flexure lies near other abdominal structures, so dissection requires continuous attention to nearby organs and vessels. Recognizing these structures while releasing the surrounding planes helps surgeons separate the colon deliberately rather than working through unrecognized anatomy. This approach supports safer tissue dissection and helps preserve surrounding anatomy during operations involving the right colon or transverse colon.
Adequate release gives the bowel greater freedom to reach adjacent structures, which is particularly important when reconstruction requires a tension-free colorectal anastomosis. The maneuver also supports preservation of blood supply by combining tissue release with careful dissection around the relevant planes and anatomy. These effects make mobilization an important technical component of reconstruction rather than only an exposure maneuver.
The procedure addresses the colon’s lateral and posterior attachments and the peritoneal planes around the right colon and transverse colon. Surgeons free these surfaces while identifying nearby organs and vessels. Working across these connected regions allows the flexure and adjoining bowel to become more mobile, improving access and creating the conditions needed for subsequent resection or reconstruction.
Hepatic Flexure Mobilization can support a right hemicolectomy, transverse colectomy, or reconstruction requiring a tension-free colorectal anastomosis. Its value differs according to the operative objective: resection may require better access to the involved colon, whereas reconstruction may depend more directly on allowing bowel to reach an adjacent structure without tension. In both settings, exposure and anatomy preservation remain important.
Careful mobilization can improve exposure, facilitate safer tissue dissection, and help preserve blood supply and surrounding anatomy. It may also allow the bowel to reach an adjacent structure more effectively during reconstruction. These outcomes explain its relevance in abdominal surgery: the maneuver contributes not only to freeing tissue, but also to the technical conditions needed for resection and anastomosis.
