Background: Ischemia/reperfusion-induced polymorphonuclear neutrophil leukocyte (PMN) adhesion and extravasation are pivotal for the development of postinjury multiple organ failure. We hypothesized that the deleterious microcirculatory consequences of hemorrhagic shock (HS) could be altered by low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) therapy. Our aim was to investigate the effects of dalteparin sodium on leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions when LMWH treatment was initiated before HS or during resuscitation.
Methods: Anesthetized dogs underwent HS (40 mm Hg mean arterial pressure for 60 minutes) and resuscitation either with shed blood or with lactated Ringer's (LR) solution. LMWH or conventional heparin sodium pretreatment was administered subcutaneously before hemorrhage; or LMWH was given intravenously during resuscitation. Mesenteric postcapillary venules were observed by intravital video microscopy before and after HS, and 60 minutes, 120 minutes, and 180 minutes after resuscitation, and leukocyte rolling and firm adherence were determined.
Results: HS significantly increased PMN rolling and adhesion in the mesenteric microcirculation. LMWH, but not heparin sodium pretreatment, significantly inhibited both primary and secondary interactions. LMWH treatment was also effective when initiated during resuscitation. LMWH exerted the same inhibitory effect regardless of the type of resuscitation.
Conclusion: LMWH treatment during resuscitation effectively inhibits PMN rolling and adhesion.

Freestanding nanomembranes fabricated by lift-off technology have been widely utilized in microelectromechanical systems, soft electronics, and microrobotics. However, a conventional chemical etching strategy to eliminate nanomembrane adhesion often restricts material choice and compromises quality. Herein, we propose a nanomembrane-on-graphene strategy that leverages the weak van der Waals adhesion on graphene to achieve scalable and controllable release and 3D construction of nanomembranes.

Tape rolls are often used for multiple patients despite recommendations by manufacturers for single-patient use. We developed a survey to query Health Care Personnel about their tape use practices and beliefs and uncovered behaviors that put patients at risk for hospital-acquired infections due to tape use.

Enhancing the interfacial adhesion between carbon-based coatings and substrates through a simple method remains a challenge, mainly due to the intrinsic chemical inertness of carbon materials. Herein, a carbon nanosphere-based coating utilizing an amyloid-like protein aggregation strategy is developed, involving only the reaction of protein, reductant, and carbon nanospheres in an aqueous solution at room temperature. The resultant coating, enriched in amyloid-like protein structures, features both robust interfacial adhesion and high light absorption (≈98.

In low-temperature, high-humidity environments, the condensation of water vapor within microstructures can initiate a detrimental cycle of hydrophobic failure, high-adhesion ice formation, and microstructural degradation, thereby limiting the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings in anti-icing and de-icing technologies. Therefore, enhancing the hydrophobic stability and mechanical durability of these coatings under such conditions is imperative. This study presents a novel approach where rigid FeO nanoparticles are encapsulated within porous diatomaceous earth (DME) and combined with high-adhesion acrylic resin (AR), resulting in a superhydrophobic photothermal coating that possesses both active and passive de-icing capabilities, fabricated through a straightforward one-step spraying technique.

Background: Given the composition of rice and its lack of gluten proteins, rice flour fails to form a cohesive and elastic dough when mixed directly with water. Consequently, many rice products rely on rice sheets (RS) made by rolling cooked rice dough. Limited research exists on how the rolling process impacts the properties and structure of cooked indica rice dough.
