: Lateral elbow tendinopathy is a common condition that significantly alters the function of the upper extremities. In case of first-line treatment failure, different local injections are usually used. Due to the lack of sufficient evidence to support it, we conducted the study to compare the outcomes of different single injections, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), Corticosteroids (CS), Hyaluronic Acid (HA), and placebo (saline).

Female sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent among postmenopausal females approaching 50%, with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) being a cardinal sign. For decades, hormone replacement therapy was the only solution to relieve symptoms associated with this atrophy. However, it was limited by its serious side effects, raising the need for new treatment strategies.

Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) are two of the leading causes of disability globally. Knee OA is characterized by gradual degeneration of articular cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. Patients older than 50 years typically present with knee OA, but it can manifest earlier, particularly following traumatic knee injuries.

Due to the inherent aseptic and enclosed characteristics of joint cavity, septic arthritis (SA) almost inevitably leads to intractable infections and rapidly progressing complex pathological environments. Presently, SA faces not only the deficient effectiveness of the gold-standard systemic antibiotic therapy but also the scarcity of effective localized targeted approaches and standardized animal models. Herein, an ingenious multifunctional nanosystem is designed, which involves the methylation of hyaluronic acid (HA), copolymerization with DEGDA, loading with vancomycin (VAN), and then coating with fused macrophage-platelet membrane (denoted as FM@HA@VAN).
