In this study, we aimed to utilize autologous tracheal epithelia and BMSCs as the seeding cells, utilize PCL coated with SilMA as the hybrid scaffold to carry the cells and KGN, which can selectively stimulate chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. This hybrid tracheal substitution was carried out to repair the tracheal partial window-shape defect. Firstly, SilMA with the concentration of 10%, 15% and 20% was prepared, and the experiment of swelling and degradation was performed.

Transplantation of tissue-engineered trachea is an effective treatment for long-segment tracheal injury. This technology avoids problems associated with a lack of donor resources and immune rejection, generating an artificial trachea with good biocompatibility. To our knowledge, a systematic summary of basic and clinical research on tissue-engineered trachea in the last 20 years has not been conducted.

Functional vascularization is crucial for maintaining the long-term patency of tissue-engineered trachea and repairing defective trachea. Herein, we report the construction and evaluation of a novel cell-free tissue-engineered tracheal scaffold that effectively promotes vascularization of the graft. Our findings demonstrated that exosomes derived from endothelial progenitor cells (EPC-Exos) enhance the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of endothelial cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are working on ways to create a new trachea (the windpipe) for people who need a replacement, and having a good blood vessel network is super important for it to survive after being put in.
  • Traditionally, methods to help the trachea heal involve complicated surgeries, but this study looks at a new approach that helps the trachea build its own blood vessels right after it’s implanted.
  • The researchers made a special kind of graft that can promote cell growth and quickly develop blood vessels, and they also used special cells known as endothelial progenitor cells to help with this process, resulting in a successful transplant that keeps the patient healthy.

Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, for the Transwell invasion assay experiments with the SK‑MES‑1 cell line shown in Fig. 4A on p. 1748, the 'mimic'NC' and 'inhibitor‑NC' data panels showed overlapping sections, such that these data may have been derived from the same original source even though they were intending to show the results of different experiments.

UGT1A1 is the main enzyme that catalyzes the metabolic elimination and detoxification of SN-38, the active form of the drug irinotecan. Milk thistle products have been used widely to protect the liver from injury associated with the use of chemotherapeutic agents. To evaluate whether SN-38 metabolism can be affected by milk thistle products, the inhibitory effects of silybins on UGT1A1*1 and UGT1A1*6 were evaluated in the present investigation.

FeO nanoparticles are the most widely used magnetic nanoparticles in the biomedicine field. The biodistribution of most nanoparticles in vivo is determined by the capture of macrophages; however, the effects of nanoparticles on macrophages remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that FeO nanoparticles could reduce macrophage viability after 48 h of treatment and induce a shift in macrophage polarization toward the M1 phenotype; RNA sequencing revealed the activation of the ferroptosis pathway and upregulation compared to the control group.

Objectives: To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology combined with 3D printing in the treatment of pectus excavatum (PE).

Methods: The clinical data of 10 patients with PE in our department from June 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent thin-layer computed tomography examination before the operation, and then 3D reconstruction was performed with Mimics 20.

High temperature requirement A3 (HtrA3) belongs to the HtrA family, and its role in inflammation and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury remains unknown. Herein, the study aimed to explore the role of HtrA3 in inflammatory cytokine secretion and the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway in hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced H9C2 cardiomyoblasts. H9C2 cells were treated with H/R to mimic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in vitro.

Long segment trachea defects are repaired by tracheal substitution, while decellularized technology has been effectively employed to prepare tissue engineering trachea (TET). However, its clinical application is restricted by the long preparation cycle, while poor vascularization is associated with the transplantation failure. In the present study, we used sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) to develop a novel rapid decellularized tracheal preparation method, then constructed a TET with revascularization functions.

Tissue engineering technology provides effective alternative treatments for tracheal reconstruction. The formation of a functional microvascular network is essential to support cell metabolism and ensure the long-term survival of grafts. However, given the lack of an identifiable vascular pedicle of the trachea that could be anastomosed to the blood vessels directly in the recipient's neck, successful tracheal transplantation faces significant challenges in rebuilding the adequate blood supply of the graft.
