Article Synopsis
  • - Significant advancements in tumor treatment using nano-enzymes have been made, but the short life and limited diffusion of reactive oxygen species (ROS) make it difficult to effectively target tumor cells.
  • - A new nanoplatform, called hollow Prussian blue/artesunate/methylene blue (HPB/ATS/MB), has been developed to improve the delivery and effectiveness of treatments by utilizing Prussian blue to release iron (II) in a way that enhances radical stability.
  • - The HPB/ATS/MB nanoparticles leverage multiple therapies, including photothermal, photodynamic, and radical therapy, demonstrating a combined effect in weakening tumor cells under specific conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines gender differences in past-year stimulant misuse and stimulant-use disorder, focusing on types like cocaine, prescription stimulants, and methamphetamine.
  • It used data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2015-2019) with a large sample size to analyze prevalence by gender.
  • Findings show that men misuse stimulants more than women across all types, but the gap is smaller for prescription stimulants, indicating some changes in gender patterns over time.

Background: Involved lateral lymph nodes (LLNs) have been associated with increased local recurrence (LR) and ipsi-lateral LR (LLR) rates. However, consensus regarding the indication and type of surgical treatment for suspicious LLNs is lacking. This study evaluated the surgical treatment of LLNs in an untrained setting at a national level.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was the conception, production, material analysis and cytocompatibility analysis of a new collagen foam for medical applications.

Materials And Methods: After the innovative production of various collagen sponges from bovine sources, the foams were analyzed ex vivo in terms of their structure (including pore size) and in vitro in terms of cytocompatibility according to EN ISO 10993-5/-12. In vitro, the collagen foams were compared with the established biomaterials cerabone and Jason membrane.

Perovskite solar cells promise to deliver high efficiencies at low manufacturing costs. Yet on their way towards commercialization, they have to face the associated risk of potential lead leakage into the environment after damage to the cell's encapsulation. Here we present a new approach to generate a lead binding coating, based on a layer-by-layer deposition of biopolymers.
