Highly Compressible Micro/Nanofibrous Sponges with Thin-Walled Cavity Structures Enable Low-Frequency Noise Reduction.

Nano Lett

December 2024

Innovation Center for Textile Science and Technology, College of Textiles, Donghua University, Shanghai 200051, China.

Increasing noise pollution has generated a tremendous threat to human health and incurred great economic losses. However, most existing noise-absorbing materials present a significant challenge in achieving lightweight, robust mechanical stability, and efficient low-frequency (<1000 Hz) noise reduction. Herein, we create highly compressible micro/nanofibrous sponges with thin-walled cavity structures for efficient noise reduction through electrospinning and dispersion casting.

Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a fibrous histiocytic tumor originating in the synovial membrane. While cervical TGCT may not be considered a common diagnosis preoperatively because it is relatively rare, it has a high recurrence rate and should be considered. Total resection is preferable, but it can be challenging due to the risk of damaging the vertebral artery.

Background: Fibrous dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a genetic disorder, marked by bone lesions, often affecting the craniofacial skeleton. Pain is a prevalent yet heterogeneous symptom reported by patients with craniofacial FD. Effective treatments are currently lacking, posing a significant clinical challenge to patient care.

Avoiding epidural adhesion following spinal surgery can reduce clinical discomfort and complications. As the severity of epidural adhesion is positively correlated with the inflammatory response, implanting a fibrous membrane after spinal surgery, which can act as a physical barrier to prevent adhesion formation while simultaneously modulates postoperative inflammation, is a promising approach to meet clinical needs. Toward this end, we fabricated an electrospun core-shell fibrous membrane (CSFM) based on polylactic acid (PLA) and infused the fiber core region with the potent natural anti-inflammatory compound docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Arthritis is characterized by the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, and the avascular nature of cartilage limits its capacity for self-repair. Stem cells are considered a promising treatment option due to their multipotent differentiation potential. The aim of this work was to investigate the structural changes in the hyaline articular cartilage of the knee joint in a model of arthritis induced by complete Freund's adjuvant, and to assess intra-articular injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) through both histological and immunohistochemical study.
