Article Synopsis
  • Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) from diabetes lead to vascular and nerve damage, impairing healing, but stem cells could provide a solution.
  • Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) can differentiate into myofibroblasts, making them promising for treating diabetic wounds and potential cosmetic uses.
  • In studies with diabetic mice, hPDLSCs showed significantly improved wound healing rates and resistance to AGE damage, indicating their effectiveness in both experimental and possible real-world applications.

Aims: Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infections poses a significant threat to human health, necessitating urgent development of new antimicrobial agents. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which are among the most widely used engineered nanomaterials, have been extensively studied. However, the impact of AgNPs on CRKP and the potential for drug resistance development remain inadequately explored.

Aims: This study aimed to create a structural equation model to evaluate the associations among demographic factors, health education, breast cancer-related knowledge, attitudes, and breast self-examination behavior among Chinese female college students.

Methods: A survey was undertaken using a self-administered questionnaire and targeting 2233 students from Eastern China. Structural equation modeling with the bootstrap approach was utilized to estimate the interrelationships and the strength of the associations among measured variables based on the hypothetical model.
