Article Synopsis
- Tracheal regeneration is difficult due to its complex structure and limited blood flow; this study introduces scaffold-free artificial tracheas created using bio-3D printing.
- The artificial tracheas feature hyaline cartilage on the front, developed from mesenchymal stem cells, and smooth muscle on the back, with both tissues successfully cultured and matured.
- Histological analyses confirmed the proper differentiation of cells, showing that the artificial trachea consists of functional tissues suitable for potential applications in medical regeneration.
Introduction: As well as preventing nosocomial and healthcare-associated infections, a reliable and eco-friendly washer for medical equipment would also be safe for the global environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a newly developed automatic washing system (Nano-washer) that uses electrolyzed water and ultrasonication without detergent for washing endoscopes.
Methods: Patients who underwent laparoscopic lobectomy or laparoscopic colectomy at Nagasaki University between 2018 and 2022 were included.

Chronic postsurgical pain may last for months or years and can negatively impair physical functioning and daily activities. Global consensus on severe postoperative pain management is lacking, and chronic pain incidence after thoracic surgery remains high.
