In order to be successful in personalizing treatment, methods for selecting patients as well as good surrogate biomarkers for monitoring the effects of treatment are required in addition to development of an efficacious targeted therapy. We have developed a polymerized nanoparticle platform technology that will allow us to put different targeting moieties on the surface of the particles in addition to loading the particles with different contrast and therapeutic agents. We have proven that these nanoparticles can be targeted to endothelial receptors and different payloads of contrast and therapeutic agents have been delivered to target cells with high target to background ratios. Using this combined vascular targeted imaging and therapy approach, we are optimistic that personalized treatment regimens can be developed for different disease processes such as cancer, inflammation, and ischemia.

Hybrid technique and total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk in acute aortic dissection involving the aortic arch: a multi-center propensity-matched cohort study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the hybrid technique yields superior outcomes in comparison with the total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk (TAR + FET) for acute aortic dissection (AAD) involving the aortic arch.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study using propensity-score matching included patients with AAD involving the aortic arch admitted to Nanjing First Hospital and Shanghai General Hospital from January 2015 to June 2020. The in-hospital and mid-term outcomes were compared between patients who received hybrid treatment (n = 136) and those who received TAR + FET (n = 415).
Enhancer-driven Shh signaling promotes glia-to-mesenchyme transition during bone repair.
Bone Res

Plp1-lineage Schwann cells (SCs) of peripheral nerve play a critical role in vascular remodeling and osteogenic differentiation during the early stage of bone healing, and the abnormal plasticity of SCs would jeopardize the bone regeneration. However, how Plp1-lineage cells respond to injury and initiate the vascularized osteogenesis remains incompletely understood. Here, by employing single-cell transcriptional profiling combined with lineage-specific tracing models, we uncover that Plp1-lineage cells undergoing injury-induced glia-to-MSCs transition contributed to osteogenesis and revascularization in the initial stage of bone injury.

J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
December 2025
Fetal Medicine Unit, St George's Hospital, London, UK.
Objective: To evaluate whether, in late pregnancy, the cerebral Doppler can identify very small fetuses that are less likely to experience intrapartum compromise (IC).
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective study of 282 singleton pregnancies that underwent an ultrasound scan at 32 + 0- 40 + 6 weeks and were delivered after induction, or spontaneous onset of labor. Very small fetuses were defined as fetuses with estimated weight less than the 3rd centile.
Surgical and Long-term Outcomes of Combined Organ Resection for Esophageal Cancer Invading Adjacent Organs: Experience of 90 Consecutive Cases.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita City, Osaka, 565-0871, Japan.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of and long-term survival with combined organ resection for esophageal cancer (EC).
Background: The optimal treatment strategy for EC that is invading adjacent organs is not established.
Methods: Ninety patients with EC invading adjacent organs who underwent combined organ resection after induction treatments during 2003-2023 in our institute were eligible for the study.
Three-Year Results of Combining Debulking Devices with Drug-coated Balloons for the Treatment of De Novo Femoropopliteal Arteriosclerosis Obliterans.

Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Objectives: To compare the safety and efficacy of debulking devices, including directional atherectomy (DA) and excimer laser atherectomy (ELA), when combined with drug-coated balloons (DCB) for treating de novo femoropopliteal atherosclerotic obliterans (ASO). Additionally, to evaluate the long-term outcomes and application status of these different debulking devices.
Methods: Clinical data were collected from patients with femoropopliteal ASO who underwent combined debulking and DCBs at the Vascular Surgery Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, China, between January 2018 and January 2023.
