[Granulomatosis with polyangiitis with head and neck symptoms as the first clinical manifestation: clinical analysis of 28 cases].

To investigate the early clinical features and diagnosis of granulomatous polyangiitis（GPA） with head and neck symptoms as the first presentation. The data of 28 patients with GPA diagnosed in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from 2014 to 2021, whose first symptoms appeared on the head and neck, were collected. All patients underwent relevant imaging examinations, laboratory tests, endoscopy, and pathological tissue biopsies.

Preparation, Properties, and Application of Graphene-Based Materials in Tissue Engineering Scaffolds.

Tissue engineering has a great application prospect as an effective treatment for tissue and organ injury, functional reduction, or loss. Bioactive tissues are reconstructed and damaged organs are repaired by the three elements, including cells, scaffold materials, and growth factors. Graphene-based composites can be used as reinforcing auxiliary materials for tissue scaffold preparation because of their large specific surface area, and good mechanical support.
