Pickering emulsions were co-stabilized by nanoliposome (NL) and thermally denatured ovalbumin (DOVA) based on the induction of OVA with strong particle characteristics through thermal denaturation. DOVA-NL particles were spherical and their sizes were mainly distributed between 50 and 100 nm. The surface tension and interfacial tension of DOVA-NL were significantly reduced, and the surface hydrophobicity, amphiphilicity and free -SH content of DOVA were enhanced after complexation with NL.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a significant global health concern, necessitating continuous advancements in treatment modalities to improve patient outcomes. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers alternative therapeutic approaches, but integration with modern biomedical technologies remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a combined treatment approach for CHD, integrating traditional Chinese medicinal interventions with modern biomedical sensors and stellate ganglion modulation.

The construction of lunar surface roads is conducive to improving the efficiency of lunar space transportation. The use of lunar in situ resources is the key to the construction of lunar bases. In order to explore the strength development of a simulated lunar soil geopolymer at lunar temperature, geopolymers with different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) contents were prepared by using simulated lunar regolith materials.

Here, we present a systematic discussion on the mechanism of natural polymer materials such as chitosan, cellulose, collagen and hyaluronic acid through their effects on the internal wound microenvironment and regulation of wound healing, in order to more comprehensively explain the concept of wound microenvironment and provide a reference for further innovative clinical for the preparation and application of wound healing agents.

Effectively utilizing natural products to construct new antimicrobial strategies is regarded as a promising way to suppress the rapid development of bacterial resistance. In this paper, we fabricated a new type of natural antibacterial patch by using a natural active substance (allicin) as an antibacterial agent and the porous structure of the white pulp of pomelo peel as a scaffold.

The recently developed light-induced cleavage strategy based on catalytic nanoparticles has been regarded as a promising strategy for DNA controllable cleavage. Although the regulation based on orthogonal light in biomedical applications holds more significant advantages than that based on single light, nanoparticle-mediated DNA cleavage based on orthogonal light has yet to be reported.

High drip loss, dry and fibrous mouthfeel, and an unappealing appearance are its main problems. It was hypothesized that light salting could improve the quality, and that the preparation conditions would affect the storage stability of frozen tilapia fillets.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive malignant adult primary brain tumor. There is an urgent need to identify novel therapies for GBM due to its poor prognosis and universal recurrence.

However, it is incredibly time-consumming to identify all the LNs in scan region. This study aims to develop and validate a deep-learning-based, fully-automated lymph node detection and segmentation (auto-LNDS) model based on mpMRI.

Methods: A pretrained Resnet50 model was introduced for feature extraction.
Segmentation of colorectal tumors is the basis of preoperative prediction, staging, and therapeutic response evaluation. Due to the blurred boundary between lesions and normal colorectal tissue, it is hard to realize accurate segmentation. Routinely manual or semi-manual segmentation methods are extremely tedious, time-consuming, and highly operator-dependent.

In this study, we constructed a novel delivery system (thermosensitive magnetic liposomes) that protects lactone form of hydroxycamptothecin from blood or water. After hydroxycamptothecin was loaded into the thermosensitive magnetic liposome (HCPT/TML), its in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity and microdialysis-based tumour pharmacokinetics were determined.

Objective: To establish the mothod to dectect the microdialysis recovery of HCPT and to investigate the influencing factors, thus to supply experimental basis for in-vivo microdialysis of HCPT.
Method: The in vitro recovery of HCPT was detected by concentration difference method (increment method and decrement method). The influence of flow rates, medium concentration and temperature on the HCPT recovery and the stability were studied.
