Efficacy and safety of propranolol tablets vs. oral solution in neonates with severe infantile hemangiomas: a retrospective study in China.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of propranolol hydrochloride tablets and oral solution in neonates with severe IHs. A retrospective cohort study included 184 consecutive neonates diagnosed with severe IHs and treated with propranolol from January 2016 to June 2023. Of these, 126 patients received propranolol tablets, and 58 received propranolol oral solution.

Cellulose nanocrystals intercalated clay biocomposite for rapid Cr(VI) removal.

The application of bentonite (Bt) as an adsorbent for heavy metals has been limited due to its hydrophobicity and insufficient surface area. Herein, we present cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) modified Bt composite (CNC@Bt) with enhanced efficiency for Cr(VI) removal. CNC@Bt exhibited an increased specific surface area and a porous structure, while maintaining the original crystal structure of Bt.

Sirolimus combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon in a neonate: A case report.

Rationale: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is an aggressive vascular tumor that is often associated with life-threatening coagulopathies and Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. Pathologic biopsies can provide a good basis for diagnosis and treatment. Therapy with srolimus combined with glucocorticoids may offer patients a favorable prognosis.

Safety of oral propranolol for neonates with problematic infantile hemangioma: a retrospective study in an Asian population.

Although the efficacy of propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH) has been well established, clinical data on the safety and tolerability of propranolol in neonates are still lacking. In this work, clinical data of 112 neonates with IH were analyzed retrospectively. All of the patients were evaluated in the hospital at the beginning of the treatment and later in outpatient settings during the treatment.

High-Dielectric PVP@PANI/PDMS Composites Fabricated via an Electric Field-Assisted Approach.

Polymer-based composite films with multiple properties, such as low dielectric loss tangent, high dielectric constant, and low cost are promising materials in the area of electronics and electric industries. In this study, flexible dielectric films were fabricated via an electric field-assisted method. Polyaniline (PANI) was modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to form a core-shell structure to serve as functional particles and silicone rubber polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) served as the matrix.

A nomogram for predicting sclerotherapy response for treatment of lymphatic malformations in children.

Purpose: In this manuscript, we purposed to identify the prognostic factors for treatment of lymphatic malformations in children using polidocanol foam combined with pingyangmycin and to construct nomogram for predicting sclerotherapy response.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 77 children having LMs who underwent sclerotherapy using polidocanol foam combined with pingyangmycin under ultrasound display from January 2017 to April 2020 was done. The clinical response was graded as excellent (≥ 90%), good (≥ 50%, < 90%), and poor (< 50%).
