Article Abstract
Significance: Pancreatic surgery is a highly demanding and routinely applied procedure for the treatment of several pancreatic lesions. The outcome of patients with malignant entities crucially depends on the margin resection status of the tumor. Frozen section analysis for intraoperative evaluation of tissue is still time consuming and laborious.
Aim: We describe the application of fiber-based attenuated total reflection infrared (ATR IR) spectroscopy for label-free discrimination of normal pancreatic, tumorous, and pancreatitis tissue. A pilot study for the intraoperative application was performed.
Approach: The method was applied for unprocessed freshly resected tissue samples of 58 patients, and a classification model for differentiating between the distinct tissue classes was established.
Results: The developed three-class classification model for tissue spectra allows for the delineation of tumors from normal and pancreatitis tissues using a probability score for class assignment. Subsequently, the method was translated into intraoperative application. Fiber optic ATR IR spectra were obtained from freshly resected pancreatic tissue directly in the operating room.
Conclusion: Our study shows the possibility of applying fiber-based ATR IR spectroscopy in combination with a supervised classification model for rapid pancreatic tissue identification with a high potential for transfer into intraoperative surgical diagnostics.

Background: The long-term clinical efficacy of intraportal islet transplantation is hampered by islet loss due to inflammation, oxidative stress, and insufficient vascularization. This study explores the venous sac as an alternative implantation site for islet transplantation in large animal models.
Methods: An immunosuppressed, diabetic cynomolgus monkey received allogeneic islet implants in its mesenteric venous sac, with metabolic assessments over 112 days.

Background: Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a pathological condition characterized by aggravated oxidative-inflammatory tissue damage that occurs upon blood flow restoration after ischemia. LIRI can lead to severe complications, including primary graft dysfunction in lung transplants and multi-organ failure. However, current treatments remain limited.

Purpose: Diagnosing pancreatic tumors ≤ 10 mm is challenging due to limited visualization and low sampling sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the cumulative diagnostic performance of repeated endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) and surrogate repeated endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP).
Methods: This study analyzed 40 patients with suspected pancreatic tumors ≤ 10 mm who underwent EUS-TA and/or ERP retrospectively.

The global incidence of early-onset cancer has surged by nearly 80% over the past three decades, yet the underlying causes remain poorly understood. While genetics and lifestyle are among the traditional risk factors, emerging evidence implicates the human microbiome as a potent and overlooked contributor to early tumorigenesis. Increases in the studies that are exploring the tissue-specific microbiome signatures such as the enrichment of Actinomyces and Bacteroidia in early-onset colorectal cancer, or Enterobacter and Neisseria in pancreatic tumors offer compelling evidence for age-stratified microbial contributions.

Cadmium (Cad) is a worldwide heavy metal pollutant associated with global health challenges. Alteration of the intestinal microbiome, due to chemicals' exposure, plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases such as pancreatic disorders. Hence, modulation of the gut microbiota might be a targeted approach to manage pancreatic diseases.
