Baicalin-based composite coating for achieving biological multifunctionality of vascular stents.

J Control Release

January 2025

Institute of Biomedical Engineering, College of Medicine, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, PR China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Vascular stents are crucial for treating atherosclerosis and have reduced mortality through bare metal and drug-eluting options, but concerns like restenosis and thrombus formation persist.
  • Hyaluronic acid (HA) is often used to modify stent surfaces, but its effectiveness is limited due to degradation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and enzymes, which can provoke inflammation and affect stent performance.
  • The study introduces a new coating using baicalin (BCL) to protect HA from degradation, offering enhanced endothelial cell support and greater stability, positioning this method as a promising advancement in stent technology.

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk of in stent restenosis (ISR). Neovascularization (NV) is considered as a unique pathophysiology factor of ISR in diabetic patients. However, the restructuring patterns of in vivo human coronary NV and their relationship with ISR, especially in diabetic patients remain unclear.

Higher risk of patients after stent(s) insertion with vessel bifurcation treated in the association between PM and cardiovascular hospital readmission.

Ecotoxicol Environ Saf

November 2024

China CDC Key Laboratory of Environment and Population Health, National Institute of Environmental Health, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing 100021, China. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • * Data was collected from over 81,000 patients between 2013 and 2017, revealing that 21.1% were readmitted due to cardiovascular issues, with an average PM concentration of 62.8μg/m.
  • * A 10μg/m increase in PM levels raised readmission risk by 0.48%, with those having stents at vessel bifurcation experiencing a much higher excess risk of 4.12%.

Aim And Background: In presurgical infant orthopedics, nasoalveolar molding (NAM) therapy has gained more popularity worldwide in treating patients with cleft lip and palate because of its soft tissue nasal corrections in addition to the alignment and close approximation of the cleft alveolar segments, which gives better postsurgical stability and esthetics with minimal tissue tension and scar formation to the patients.The clinical case report aims to show the better post-NAM results, which had helped to gain better postsurgical results in terms of stability and aesthetics in hard and soft tissues.

Case Description: This clinical report presents the case of a 9-day-old female patient reported in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Sharad Pawar Dental College and Hospital with nonsyndromic complete left-sided unilateral cleft lip and palate with a defect size of 13 mm, which was treated with a presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) appliance.

Progress and recognition of idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A narrative review.

CNS Neurosci Ther

August 2024

Neurology and Intracranial Hypertension and Cerebral Venous Disease Center, National Health Commission of China, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) mainly affects obese young women, causing elevated intracranial pressure, headaches, and papilledema, risking vision loss and severe headaches. Despite weight loss as the primary treatment, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recent research explores novel therapeutic targets.
