Hydrogels have emerged as potential materials for bone grafting, thanks to their biocompatibility, biodegradation, and flexibility in filling irregular bone defects. In this study, we fabricated a novel NAH hydrogel system, composed of N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC), aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA), and hydroxyapatite (HAp). To improve the mechanical strength of the fabricated hydrogel, a porous polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix was synthesized and used as a three-dimensional (3D) support template for NAH hydrogel loading, forming a novel PCL/NAH hybrid scaffold.

This study investigated the clinical pathology and immunohistochemical distinction between adult and pediatric large B-cell lymphoma. A cross-sectional study of 314 NHLs with the morphology of diffuse pattern, large B-cell, and CD20 expression was investigated.

(2) Methods: In this study, we created burn wounds on pigs and investigated the efficacy of three biomaterials: polycaprolactone-gelatin-silver membrane (PCLGelAg) and two commercial burn dressings, Aquacel Ag and UrgoTul silver sulfadiazine. In vitro long-term antibacterial property and in vivo wound healing performance were investigated.
