Muscle and tendon injuries are prevalent occurrences during sports activities. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is known for its rich content of factors essential for wound healing, inflammation reduction, and tissue repair. Despite its recognized benefits, limited information is available regarding PRP's effectiveness in addressing combined surgical injuries to the gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon.

Article Synopsis
  • - Lymphedema is a condition with primary and secondary forms that leads to limb swelling and complications; management involves a collaborative approach, including physical therapy and surgery, aiming to enhance patients' quality of life.
  • - A case study of a 40-year-old male with severe congenital lymphedema shows that repeated debulking surgeries improved his limb function and appearance, despite previous unsuccessful treatments.
  • - Advanced lymphedema may require complex surgical procedures, like the Charles procedure, which involves removing tissue layers and using them for grafting; these tailored strategies are essential to successful outcomes and highlight the need for personalized patient care.

Cigarette smoking negatively impacts mesenchymal stem cell functionality, including proliferation, viability, and differentiation potential. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) are increasingly used for therapeutic purposes, but the specific effects of smoking in vivo on these cells are poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of cigarette smoke on the proliferation, viability, gene expression, and cellular functions of ADMSCs from smoking and non-smoking donors.

Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) are envisaged as the most promising sustainable approach for green hydrogen production. However, the considerably high cost often associated with such reactions, particularly upon scale-up, poses a daunting challenge. Herein, a facile, effective, and environmentally benign one-pot scalable approach is developed to fabricate MnM (M═Co, Cu, Ni, and Fe) nanocrystals supported over in situ formed carbon nanofibers (MnM/C) as efficient noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for HER.

Graphitic-phase carbon nitride (g-CN) materials have exhibited increasingly remarkable performance as emerging electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters, owing to their unique optical and electronic properties; however, the ECL merits of porous g-CN nanofibers doped with ternary metals are not yet explored. Deciphering the ECL properties of trimetal-doped g-CN nanofibers could provide an exquisite pathway for ultrasensitive sensing and imaging with impressive advantages of minimal background signal, great sensitivity, and durability. Herein, we rationally synthesized g-CN nanofibers doped atomically with Mn, Fe, and Co elements (Mn/Fe/Co/g-CN) in a one-pot via the protonation in ethanol and annealing process driven by the rolling up mechanism.
