Article Synopsis
  • - 3M syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe growth retardation and specific physical features, but typically does not affect mental development or organs; identified genes are crucial for diagnosis.
  • - A case study highlighted a patient with unusual symptoms and no typical facial features associated with 3M syndrome, leading to genetic testing which revealed a new and previously unreported genetic variant.
  • - The findings underscore the variability in clinical features of 3M syndrome and the importance of genetic testing for accurate diagnosis, contributing to a broader understanding of the disorder's molecular profile.

Destruction of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) after spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important factor promoting the progression of the injury. This study addressed how to repair the BSCB in order to promote the repair of injured spinal cords. Iguratimod (IGU), an anti-rheumatic drug, has been approved for clinical use.

Surface modification of three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium (Ti) scaffolds with hydroxyapatite (HA) has been a research hotspot in biomedical engineering. However, unlike HA coatings on a plain surface, 3D-printed Ti scaffolds have inherent porous structures that influence the characteristics of HA coatings and osteointegration. In the present study, HA coatings were successfully fabricated on 3D-printed Ti scaffolds using plasma spray and electrochemical deposition, named plasma sprayed HA (PSHA) and electrochemically deposited HA (EDHA), respectively.
