Among Hangzhou’s rising “Six Little Dragons,” the founders of DeepSeek, DEEP Robotics, and Manycore Tech share a common origin — Zhejiang University. This raises the question: What is it about Zhejiang University that fosters such a remarkable breed of innovators and entrepreneurs?Cultivating the pioneers of tomorrowFifteen years ago, when LIANG Wenfeng, the founder of DeepSeek, completed his master’s thesis at the Zhejiang University College of Information Science & Electronic Engineeri...

Chyle leak (CL) following pancreatectomy primarily results from iatrogenic injury to the cisterna chyli or its tributaries during pancreatic resection procedures. Having been overlooked for decades, CL has increasingly been recognized as a clinically relevant morbidity following pancreatic resections. It can result in malnutrition, lower immunity, and secondary infections.  In 2016, the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) introduced a definition and classification ...
