European Spine JournalAbstract Objective:Proximal Junctional Failure (PJF) is a known complication of instrumented spine surgery. When a construct ends in the lower thoracic spine, PJF occurring at the suprajacent level can be difficult to adequately correct. Transforaminal Thoracic Interbody Fusion (TTIF) is a posterior-only pedicle-sparring approach that

Design Principles of Electrocatalysts for Industrial‐Scale Water Electrolysis
Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This Review distills electrocatalyst design for industrial‐scale water electrolysis into integrated principles linking active‐site engineering, phase and lattice modulation, interfacial microenvironment regulation and mass‐transport control. By connecting catalyst families with HER/OER mechanisms and practical operating demands, it outlines pathways ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.We present a foldamer strategy to downsize the histone H3‐H4 quaternary structure into high‐affinity, medium‐sized binders (∼2 kDa) for the histone chaperone ASF1. Our peptide‐oligourea chimeras, designed through structure‐guided optimization and foldamer chemistry, recapitulate the natural H3‐H4 dimer binding mode while demonstrating plasma stability ...

Pylorus‐Preserving Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Directions
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This review aims to outline the current evidence and future directions of PPG, focusing on the feasibility of extending its application beyond its traditional indications. ABSTRACT Pylorus‐preserving gastrectomy (PPG) is a function‐preserving surgery for clinically T1N0M0 (cT1N0M0) early gastric cancer (EGC) located in the middle third of the stomach ...
