Uncontrolled bleeding and microbial infections pose significant hurdles in wound healing, and the use of specialized functional dressings is pivotal in overcoming these obstacles. Among the various wound dressings currently under investigation, those based on chitosan and its derivatives have garnered significant attention due to their superior biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, hemostatic capabilities, and healing promoting ability. In this comprehensive review, we initially delve into the hemostatic capabilities of chitosan, elucidating its interactions with blood cells and plasma proteins.

Background: This clinical study aimed to evaluate the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores at 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks, and the thickness of the 4th lumbar multifidus under ultrasound at 6 and 12 weeks, using musculoskeletal ultrasound (MU)-guided needle-knife loosening therapy for treating refractory nonspecific low back pain (RNSLBP) compared to usual care, to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of needle knife therapy for RNSLBP. This study used a single-blind, randomized controlled design.

Methods: A total of 66 patients with RNSLBP who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group of 33 patients.

In this study, we designed novel self-healing hydrogels (CMC/DAQP-HGs) using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and dialdehyde quaternized pullulan (DAQP), aimed at loading tranexamic acid (TA) for rapid hemostasis. Meanwhile, CMC/dialdehyde pullulan (DAP) hydrogels (CMC/DAP-HGs) were prepared for comparison with CMC/DAQP-HGs. Experimental results showed that (1) DAQP, DAP, CMC/DAQP-HGs, and CMC/DAP-HGs were successfully prepared; (2) both types of hydrogels demonstrated excellent swelling (swelling ratio of 12.

Hydrogels can possess desired biochemical and mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, satisfactory biodegradability, and biological capabilities that promote skin repair, making them ideal candidates for skin healing dressings. Polysaccharides, such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid and sodium alginate as well as proteins, including gelatin, collagen and fibroin proteins, are biological macromolecules celebrated for their biocompatibility and biodegradability, are at the forefront of innovative hydrogel dressing development. This work first summarizes the skin wound healing process and its influencing factors, and then systematically articulates the multifunctional roles of hydrogels based on biological macromolecules (polysaccharides and proteins) as dressing in addressing bacterial infection, hemorrhage and inflammation during wound healing.

Background: The use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) technology remains largely investigational in the hospital setting. The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rtCGM in inpatients with diabetes who were treated with short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).

Methods: In this randomized, parallel controlled trial conducted on the endocrinology wards in a tertiary hospital located in Shanghai, adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who required short-term CSII during hospitalization were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either rtCGM-based glucose monitoring and management program or point-of-care (POC) standard of care (8 times/day) with blinded CGM.

This study aimed to develop and validate a bone marrow edema model using a magnetic resonance imaging-based radiomics nomogram for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of 302 patients with and without osteoarthritis were retrospectively collected from April 2022 to October 2023 at Longhua Hospital affiliated with the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The participants were randomly divided into two groups (a training group, n = 211 and a testing group, n = 91).

Background: Breastfeeding is recognized internationally as the most scientific and effective way to feed infants and young children. According to the World Health Organization in 2022, the exclusive breastfeeding rate within 6 months is 34.1% in China, which is still far from the goal of "more than 60% exclusive breastfeeding rate of infants within 6 months" by 2030 required by China's State Council.

Purpose: Haptoglobin (Hp) is a hemoglobin-binding protein that functions as an antioxidant in human plasma. It is reported that glycemic variability (GV) plays a key role in diabetes-related complications associated with impaired glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. Here we aim to investigate whether the effect of GV on diabetic macroangiopathy depends on Hp genotype in type 2 diabetes.

Aversive stimuli can cause hippocampal place cells to remap their firing fields, but it is not known whether remapping plays a role in storing memories of aversive experiences. Here, we addressed this question by performing in vivo calcium imaging of CA1 place cells in freely behaving rats (n = 14). Rats were first trained to prefer a short path over a long path for obtaining food reward, then trained to avoid the short path by delivering a mild footshock.

Autoantibodies produced by B cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, both the cellular source of antiphospholipid antibodies and their contributions to the development of lupus nephritis (LN) remain largely unclear. Here, we report a pathogenic role of anti-phosphatidylserine (PS) autoantibodies in the development of LN.

To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, biomass has been increasingly developed as a renewable and clean alternative to fossil fuels because of its carbon-neutral characteristics. China has been investigating the rational development and use of bioenergy for developing its clean energy and achieving carbon neutrality. Substituting fossil fuels with multi-source and multi-approach utilized bioenergy and corresponding carbon reduction in China remain largely unexplored.
