Article Synopsis
  • Bioprinting involves using specialized printers with thermosensitive bioinks like GelMA to create precise 3D structures within the human body, but existing devices often struggle with temperature regulation affecting bioink viscosity.
  • This study introduces a new temperature-regulated printhead integrated into a UR5 robotic arm, achieving a temperature control accuracy of 1 °C and a response time of about 1 minute, enhancing the fabrication of bioink scaffolds.
  • The effectiveness of this system was demonstrated through printing multilayer lattice scaffolds and conducting cell culture tests, with an open-source design that allows modifications for various robotic applications in complex bioprinting scenarios.

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are extensively utilized in the biomedical field due to their exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the lack of antibacterial activity limits their application ranges. Nanoscopic particle-based additives with inherent antibacterial characteristics are regarded as promising strategies to prevent biomaterials-associated infection.

The incidence of stroke and the burden on health care and society are expected to increase significantly in the coming years, due to the increasing aging of the population. Various sensory, motor, cognitive and psychological disorders may remain in the patient after survival from a stroke. In hemiplegic patients with movement disorders, the impairment of upper limb function, especially hand function, dramatically limits the ability of patients to perform activities of daily living (ADL).

Uncontrolled hemorrhage and wound infection are crucial causes of trauma-associated death in both the military and the clinic. Therefore, developing an efficient and rapid hemostatic method with biocompatibility, easy degradation, and wound healing is of great importance and desirability. Inspired by spontaneous blood cell plug formation in the hemostasis process, an adenosine 5'-diphosphate modified pro-coagulation hyaluronic acid (HA-ADP) coordinated with enhanced antibacterial activity of undecanal-modified chitosan (UCS) was fabricated through physical electrostatic cross-linking and freeze-drying.

Background: Hypoxia is a characteristic of solid tumors that can lead to tumor angiogenesis and early metastasis, and addressing hypoxia presents tremendous challenges. In this work, a nanomedicine based on oxygen-absorbing perfluorotributylamine (PFA) and the bioreductive prodrug tirapazamine (TPZ) was prepared by using a polydopamine (PDA)-coated UiO-66 metal organic framework (MOF) as the drug carrier.

Results: The results showed that TPZ/PFA@UiO-66@PDA nanoparticles significantly enhanced hypoxia, induced cell apoptosis in vitro through the oxygen-dependent HIF-1α pathway and decreased oxygen levels in vivo after intratumoral injection.

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a ubiquitously distributed endocrine disruptors. To investigate peptide changes in the sera of rats chronically exposed to TCDD and to explore the association of these changes with liver morphology, TCDD was administrated to male rats at doses of 140, 350, and 875 ng/kg/week for 29 weeks. Serum was collected and proteomic analysis was performed using automated Bruker Daltonics ClinProt with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

Objective: To explore the occupational stress factors associated with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) among male policemen.

Methods: Using cluster sampling method, we selected four Public Security Bureau within the jurisdiction of the station now in some city. All the male police were included as research objects, and finally 1490 persons were selected, health and occupational stress inventory-revised (OSI-R) questionnaire were used for epidemiological surveys, and anthropometric examination and chemical indicators were also measured at the same time.
