Radial nerve palsy in the newborn combined with congenital radial head dislocation: Case report and literature review.

Rationale: Radial nerve palsy in the newborn and congenital radial head dislocation (CRHD) are both rare disorders, and early diagnosis is challenging. We reported a case of an infant with concurrent presence of these 2 diseases and provide a comprehensive review of the relevant literature. The purpose of the study is to share diagnostic and treatment experiences and provide potentially valuable insights.

Polymerizable-group capped ZnS nanoparticle for high refractive index inorganic-organic hydrogel contact lens.

Refractive index (RI) is an important parameter for contact lens biomaterials. In this paper, a novel polymerizable-group capped ZnS nanoparticle (NP) was synthesized by chemical link between hydroxyl group on the surface of ZnS (ME-capped) and isocyanate group of polymerizable molecule of 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate. Then the ZnS NP copolymerized with monomer of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) to prepare high refractive index hydrogel contact lens with high content of inorganic ZnS NP.

Solid-state structure of gelatin-mono epoxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane polymer: effect of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

In this study, a hybrid synthetic gelatin-mono epoxy terminated polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS-E grafted gelatin (PGG)) was successfully synthesized on a large scale. Supramolecular structure of gelatin, which was decided by the sophisticated inter- and intra-molecular interactions, significantly affected the self-assembly and phase behavior of PGG. Interestingly, the supramolecular organization of PGG could be tuned finely by negatively charged surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium tetradecyl sulfonate (STSo), as revealed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy (LM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
