This study aimed to evaluate the resistance of anastomoses to mechanical traction in an ex vivo biomechanical experiment, to determine the most resistant manual suture for restoring digestive tract continuity after various types of gastric resection for cancer. Materials and methods: The tensile strength of different types of anastomoses was compared ex vivo using porcine esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. The test setup included a tensile testing device, which applied a controlled force on the anastomoses until they broke, which was recorded for each type of anastomosis and was expressed in N. Data processing and statistical analysis were performed in the GraphPad Prism program, using a paired T-test and ANOVA test. We considered the p-value 0.05 to be statistically significant. Double-layer gastrojejunal (Roux-en-Y) and end-to-end esophagojejunal anastomosis presented the highest tensile strength. Double-layer anastomoses showed significantly higher tensile strength compared to monoplane ones. The results suggest that the double-layer suture technique offers better mechanical stability, which may reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Biplane anastomoses after gastric resections may reduce postoperative complications and improve patient outcomes.

As a new generation of high-energy-density energy storage system, solid-state aluminum-ion batteries have attracted much attention. Nowadays polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based electrolytes have been initially applied to Lithium-ion batteries due to their flexible processing and good interfacial compatibility, their application in aluminum-ion batteries still faces problems. To overcome the limitations in aluminum-ion batteries-specifically, strong Al coordination suppressing ion dissociation, high room-temperature crystallinity, and inadequate mechanical strength-this study develops a blended polymer electrolyte (BPE) of polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and PEO.

The growing consumer interest in functional and health-oriented foods prompted the incorporation of tartary buckwheat sprout flour (TBSF) into food production. The addition of TBSF enhanced the nutritional value of noodles. Research has shown that as the proportion of TBSF increased, both the water absorption rate and thermal stability of the dough improved, while formation time decreased and dough aging was inhibited.

The development of cellulose-based electromagnetic shielding materials is critical for the advancement of sustainable, lightweight, and flexible electronic devices. Most high-performance composites rely on nanocellulose, which is expensive and energy-intensive to produce. In this work, we employ chemically modified conventional eucalyptus pulp fibers (non-nano) to fabricate Janus-structured cellulose/MXene composite papers.

Cemented paste backfill has made outstanding contributions to the large-scale consumption of phosphogypsum (PG), but poor water resistance significantly weakens the mechanical strength, promotes the leaching of total soluble phosphate (TP) and fluoride ions (F), and reduces its attractiveness in mine engineering. This research synthesized a curing agent (CA) using sodium methylsilicate, sodium silicate, and polyaluminum chloride (PAC). PG produced from Deyang Haohua Qingping Phosphate Mine Co.
