Self-doping synthesis of nano-TiO with outstanding antibacterial properties under visible light.

Nano-TiO photocatalysis technology has attracted wide attention because of its safety, nontoxicity and long-lasting performance. However, traditional nano-TiO has been greatly limited in its application because its wide band gap can only be activated by ultraviolet light (λ < 387 nm). In this paper, nano-TiO was prepared by self-doping method.

Targeting nanoplatform synergistic glutathione depletion-enhanced chemodynamic, microwave dynamic, and selective-microwave thermal to treat lung cancer bone metastasis.

Once bone metastasis occurs in lung cancer, the efficiency of treatment can be greatly reduced. Current mainstream treatments are focused on inhibiting cancer cell growth and preventing bone destruction. Microwave ablation (MWA) has been used to treat bone tumors.

Identification and verification of ferroptosis-related genes in the pathology of epilepsy: insights from CIBERSORT algorithm analysis.

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. A mechanism of cell death regulation, known as ferroptosis, which involves iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in various diseases, including epilepsy.

Objective: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and epilepsy through bioinformatics analysis.

Facile preparation of bioactive nanoparticle/poly(ε-caprolactone) hierarchical porous scaffolds via 3D printing of high internal phase Pickering emulsions.

Bioactive and biocompatible scaffolds possessing hierarchical porous structures and tunable multi-functional performance have attracted increasing interest in the biomedical field, especially in bone tissue engineering. In this work, we report a convenient and effective approach to construct bioactive nanoparticle/poly(ε-caprolactone) (BNPCL) scaffolds with hierarchical porous structures based on solvent evaporation of 3D printed water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templates, containing hydrophobically modified hydroxyapatite and silica nanoparticles in the oil phase. The hierarchical porous structures consist of mm-scale macropores formed by 3D printing and μm-scale micropores from HIPE templates.

Effects of propranolol or propranolol plus isosorbide-5-mononitrate on variceal pressure in schistosomiasis.

Aim: To compare the effects of propranolol (PR) to that of PR plus isosorbide-5-mononitrate (ISMN) on variceal pressure in patients with schistosomiasis.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with schistosomiasis who had no previous variceal bleeding were treated with PR alone or PR plus ISMN. Seven patients refused variceal pressure manometry (3 receiving PR and 4 receiving PR plus ISMN).

Measurement of variceal pressure with a computerized endoscopic manometry: validation and effect of propranolol therapy in cirrhotic patients.

Background And Purpose: Recently, we invented a computerized endoscopic balloon manometry (CEBM) to measure variceal pressure (VP) in cirrhotic patient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of this method, and whether this technique provided further information to pharmacological therapy.

Patients And Methods: VP measurements were performed in 83 cirrhotic patients and compared with HVPG as well as endoscopic bleeding risk parameters.
