Department of Transplant Medicine, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, Japan. Electronic address:
Background: Driveline infections (DLI) caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients with implantable left ventricular assist devices (iLVAD) are rare but fatal, requiring early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Herein, we present a rare case of DLI caused by Mycobacterium chelonae, which was promptly diagnosed using Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelsen stain and followed a favorable clinical course.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old man with an iLVAD complicated by DLI was admitted to our center.
Biofabrication

Nano-Bio Regenerative Medical Institute, College of Medicine, Hallym University, Chuncheon, 24252, Republic of Korea.
In this present study, we introduce an innovative hybrid 3D bioprinting methodology that integrates fused deposition modeling (FDM) with top-down digital light processing (DLP) for the fabrication of an artificial trachea. Initially, polycaprolactone (PCL) was incorporated using an FDM 3D printer to provide essential mechanical support, replicating the structure of tracheal cartilage. Subsequently, a chondrocyte-laden glycidyl methacrylated silk fibroin hydrogel was introduced via top-down DLP into the PCL scaffold (PCL-Sil scaffold).

Background: Uncontrolled bleeding is still the major factor leading to preventable deaths following trauma. This study sought to assess the effectiveness of mini sponge-based wound stasis, cellulose-based local hemostatic, and traditional gauze dressings for the control of hemorrhages resulting from grade 4 liver injuries in rats.
Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three equal groups.

Introduction: Renal transplant is considered to be the most optimum treatment option for chronic kidney disease. One common post-operative complication that can compromise the graft function is lymphocele. Despite the technical advances, the incidence of lymphocele is not negligible.
