This article is dedicated to present a review on existing challenges and latest developments in surgical robotics in attempts to overcome the obstacles lying behind. Rather than to perform an exhaustive evaluation, we would emphasize more on the new insight by digesting the emerging bio-inspired surgical technologies with potentials to revolutionize the field. Typical approaches, possible applications, advantages and technical challenges were discussed. Evolutions of surgical robotics and future trends were analyzed. It can be found that, the major difficulties in the field of surgical robots may not be properly addressed by only using conventional approaches. As an alternative, bio-inspired methods or materials may shed light on new innovations. While endeavors to deal with existing strategies still need to be made, attentions should be paid to also borrow ideas from nature.

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the most effective options for hematological malignancies, and human leukocyte antigen-partially matched related donors (PMRDs) are a valuable option for HSCT. Several protocols (with or without ex vivo T-cell depletion (TCD)) have been established worldwide. TCD including CD34+positive selection and CD3/CD19 depletion has successfully overcome the human leukocyte antigen disparity. However, TCD is associated with prolonged immune deficiencies, increased risks of infectious complications, and high transplantation-related mortality. PMRD HSCT without ex vivo TCD is well developed, and numerous patients have benefitted from it. Here, we review the literature on PMRD HSCT.

Obesity prevalence has increased in recent years. Lifestyle change fuels obesity, but genetic factors cause more than 50% of average variations in obesity. The advent of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has hastened the progress of polygenic obesity research. As of this writing, more than 73 obesity susceptibility loci have been identified in ethnic groups through GWAS. The identified loci explain only 2% to 4% of obesity heritability, thereby indicating that a large proportion of loci remain undiscovered. Thus, the next step is to identify and confirm novel loci, which may exhibit smaller effects and lower allele frequencies than established loci. However, achieving these tasks has been difficult for researchers. GWAS help researchers discover the causal loci. Moreover, numerous biological studies have been performed on the polygenic effects on obesity, such as studies on fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO), but the role of these polygenic effects in the mechanism of obesity remains unclear. Thus, obesity-causing variations should be identified, and insights into the biology of polygenic effects on obesity are needed.

Precision agriculture, and more specifically Site-Specific Crop Management (SSCM), has been implemented in some form across nearly all agricultural production systems over the past 25 years. Adoption has been greatest in developed agricultural countries. In this review article, the current situation of SSCM adoption and application is investigated from the perspective of a developed (UK) and developing (China) agricultural economy. The current state-of-the art is reviewed with an emphasis on developments in position system technology and satellite-based remote sensing. This is augmented with observations on the differences between the use of SSCM technologies and methodologies in the UK and China and discussion of the opportunities for (and limitations to) increasing SSCM adoption in developing agricultural economies. A particular emphasis is given to the role of socio-demographic factors and the application of responsible research and innovation (RRI) in translating agri-technologies into China and other developing agricultural economies. Several key research and development areas are identified that need to be addressed to facilitate the delivery of SSCM as a holistic service into areas with low precision (PA) agriculture adoption. This has implications for developed as well as developing agricultural economies.

The Three Gorges Project is the largest hydropower station in the world with 26 sets of 700MW hydropower units. International tendering with export credit was adopted for the fourteen units on the left bank. It was requested in the tendering documents that foreign companies should jointly design and jointly manufacture the equipment with qualified Chinese manufacturers and foreign companies should transfer their technology to Chinese manufacturers. The participation percentage of Chinese manufacturers should not be lower than 25% of the total contract value. And the last two units will be mainly supplied by Chinese manufacturers. Alstom won eight units co-operating with Harbin Electrical Machinery Company Limited while VGS won six units working with Dongfang Electrical Machinery Company. The contracts are proceeding smoothly. Harbin and Dongfang digested assimilated the transferred technology based on their technology tackling activities carried out in the passed two decades for large hydropower units. They conducted certain technology innovations and tried to be self-reliant on developing, designing and manufacturing large hydropower units. The 12 units on the right bank will mainly be manufactured by Chinese manufacturers, which laid a foundation for supplying good quality, advanced and reliable units for large hydropower stations in China.

With the rapid social and economic development in China, technology innovations in the extraction and utilization of mineral resources are demanded to address the problems associated with larger mining depth and other adverse conditions confronted by the mining industries, increase the efficiency of extracting mineral resources, and safeguard the safety and health of mining workers. To this end, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) has launched a series of research directions through the 863 Program aimed at frontiers in the subject of personless mining to enhance technology innovations in personless mining and provide the mining industries with a fresh perspective to personless mining. In response to the MOST initiative, this paper presents a brief review on the development of automated mining technologies in the industrialized nations such as Canada, Australia, Finland and Sweden, outlines the major technological issues on the frontiers of automated mining, and proposes some avenues of advancing technology innovations in automated mining in China.
