A new method of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) and deposition (PIII and D) for treating industrial components in the batch mode has been developed. A metal tubular fixture is used to allocate the components inside, around, and along the tube, exposing only the parts of each component that are to be ion implanted to the plasma. Hollow cathode-like plasma is generated only inside the tube filled with the desired gas, by applying high negative voltage pulses to the hollow cylindrical fixture which is insulated from the vacuum chamber walls. This is a very convenient method of batch processing of industrial parts by ion implantation, in which a large number of small to medium sized components can be treated by PIII and PIII and D, very quickly, efficiently, and also at low cost.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is promising in cancer therapy by accelerating tumor cell death, whose therapeutic efficacy, however, is greatly limited by the hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the antioxidant defense. Amplification of oxidative stress has been successfully employed for tumor therapy, but the interactions between cancer cells and the other factors of TME usually lead to inadequate tumor treatments. To tackle this issue, we develop a pH/redox dual-responsive nanomedicine based on the remodeling of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) for multi-pronged amplification of ROS (ZnPP@FQOS).

Objectives: Radiotherapy manages pancreatic cancer in various settings; however, the proximity of gastrointestinal (GI) luminal organs-at-risk (OAR) poses challenges to conventional radiotherapy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) may reduce toxicities compared to photon therapy. This consensus statement summarizes PBT's safe and optimal delivery for pancreatic tumors.

Bone tissue regeneration presents a significant challenge in clinical treatment due to inadequate coordination between implant materials and reparative cells at the biomaterial-bone interfaces. This gap underscores the necessity of enhancing interaction modulation between cells and biomaterials, which is a crucial focus in bone tissue engineering. Metal-polyphenolic networks (MPN) are novel inorganic-organic hybrid complexes that are formed through coordination interactions between phenolic ligands and metal ions.

Post-extraction alveolar bone resorption invariably compromises implant placement and aesthetic restoration outcomes. Current non-resorbable membranes exhibit limited efficacy in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) due to insufficient cell recruitment and osteoinductive capabilities. Herein, we introduce a multifunctional electroactive membrane (PPy-BTO/P(VDF-TrFE), PB/PT) designed to spatiotemporally regulate cell migration and osteogenesis, harmonizing with the socket healing process.

Local delivery of therapeutic ions from bioactive mesoporous glasses (MBGs) is postulated as one of the most promising strategies for regenerative therapy of critical bone defects. Among these ions, Sr cation has been widely considered for this purpose as part of the composition of MBGs. MBGs of chemical composition 75SiO-25-x CaO-5PO-xSrO with x = 0, 2.
