Purpose: This multi-institutional observational study aimed to assess the incidence, severity, and impact of radiotherapy-related late toxicities of the cervical skin and soft tissue in head and neck cancer patients. We also explored patient interest in fat grafting as a potential treatment for skin and soft tissue sequelae.

Methods: This study was conducted across 19 institutions in Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a type of vasculitis that causes inflammation of medium to small arteries, potentially affecting multiple organs, including the testes.
  • Angiography can be used as a diagnostic method instead of tissue biopsy or surgery.
  • This text discusses a case where angiographic findings show involvement of the testicular arteries in PAN, which has not been reported in previous studies.

Hybrid nanoparticles composed of chitin nanowhiskers (ChNWs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) having an improved stability were prepared. The grafting of monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and subsequent surface adsorption of AuNCs enabled the steric stabilization of ChNW/AuNC hybrids. mPEGs with terminal formyl groups and diethylacetal protecting groups were grafted via in situ deprotection and reductive amination with the surface amino groups (SAGs) of ChNWs.
