To present the technique for and early results of laparoscopic intragastric resection (LIGR). ⋯ We illustrate the technique of a novel, feasible, and safe minimally invasive approach to GSMTs. LIGR is an alternative to resect challenging GSMTs by limiting surgical invasiveness and preserving gastrointestinal function.

To understand the fate and regulation of hypoxic type II alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) after lung contusion (LC). ⋯ These are the first in vivo data to identify, isolate, and characterize hypoxic AECs. HIF-1α regulation through hypoxic AECs is critical to the initiation of acute inflammation after LC.
