bFGF-Chitosan "brain glue" promotes functional recovery after cortical ischemic stroke.

The mammalian brain has an extremely limited ability to regenerate lost neurons and to recover function following ischemic stroke. A biomaterial strategy of slowly-releasing various regeneration-promoting factors to activate endogenous neurogenesis represents a safe and practical neuronal replacement therapy. In this study, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-Chitosan gel is injected into the stroke cavity.

Endomyocardial Biopsy: short- and long-term safety in myocarditis patients.

Introduction: To assess the short-term and long-term outcomes of percutaneous endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in patients with myocarditis and to identify the risk factors for EMB-related complications in this patient population.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 294 hospitalized patients with clinically suspected myocarditis at Tongji Hospital from October 2019 to October 2023, with a median follow-up duration of 18 months. Patients were divided into an EMB group (n = 151) and a non-EMB group (n = 143) based on whether they underwent EMB procedure.

Lightweight Siamese Network with Global Correlation for Single-Object Tracking.

Recent advancements in the field of object tracking have been notably influenced by Siamese-based trackers, which have demonstrated considerable progress in their performance and application. Researchers frequently emphasize the precision of trackers, yet they tend to neglect the associated complexity. This oversight can restrict real-time performance, rendering these trackers inadequate for specific applications.

Non-inferiority of minimally invasive rotational cutting in granulomatous mastitis treatment: a comparative trial.

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its similarities with other breast diseases like cancer. The comparative study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a vacuum-assisted biopsy device with minimally invasive excisions compared to traditional wide local excisions. The vacuum-assisted biopsy device technique offers benefits such as precise tissue removal, reduced damage to healthy tissue, shorter surgery and recovery times, and lower postoperative complication risks.
