Background And Aims: Rebamipide is administered perorally to protect the gastric mucosa. We assessed the efficacy and safety of a novel rebamipide solution as a submucosal injection material for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using an in vivo porcine model.
Methods: An endoscopist blinded to the test agents performed ESDs of hypothetical 30 mm lesions using a 2% rebamipide solution at 2 sites (rebamipide group) and a saline solution at 2 other sites (control group) in the stomachs of 8 pigs. The technical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. The gastric ulcer stages were evaluated by endoscopy once weekly for 4 weeks after the ESD to determine the healing score (1-6). The pigs were killed at 1 week (n = 2), 2 weeks (n = 2), and 4 weeks (n = 4) after the ESD for pathologic evaluation of ESD-induced ulcers and scarring.
Results: There were no significant differences in any of the technical outcomes between the 2 groups, and no adverse events related to the ESD in any of the animals. The healing score was significantly higher in the rebamipide group than in the control group at 2 weeks (P = .027), 3 weeks (P = .034), and 4 weeks (P = .012). In the histopathologic assessment, fibrosis was significantly less extensive in the rebamipide group than in the control group at 2 weeks (P = .02) and 4 weeks (P = .04).
Conclusions: The rebamipide solution appeared to promote both the speed and quality of healing of ESD-induced ulcers by suppressing fibrosis.

The imbalance of redox homeostasis, especially the abnormal levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a key obstacle in the bone repair process. Therefore, developing materials capable of scavenging ROS and modulating the microenvironment of bone defects is crucial for promoting bone repair. In this study, to endow poly(amino acids) (PAA) and its composites with anti-oxidative stress properties and enhanced osteogenic differentiation, we designed and prepared a calcium sulfate/calcium hydrogen phosphate/poly(amino acids) (PCDM) composite material with a thioether structure (-S-) in the molecular chain of PAA matrix through situ polymerization and physical blending method.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a new nanocomposite (GO-PAA-Cu-LP) for medical uses through a multi-step synthesis involving graphene oxide and polyacrylic acid.
- The research includes a variety of characterization techniques to analyze the nanocomposite, demonstrating that it retains about 73% of its reactivity even after 9 weeks of storage at low temperatures.
- The findings show that the modified GO-PAA-Cu-LP has enhanced selectivity against cancer cells, promoting apoptosis and cell cycle arrest compared to standard composites and lactoperoxidase alone.

Article Synopsis
- - Organic polymers like cross-linked polyacrylic acid (CL-PAA), widely used in various products, have been linked to severe lung diseases, prompting research into the effects of inhalation exposure rather than just instillation.
- - The study involved two exposure durations (5 days and 13 weeks) with male F344 rats, revealing that both short- and long-term exposure to CL-PAA caused significant inflammation, increased neutrophil activity, and lung fibrosis, especially at higher concentrations.
- - Administration of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) reduced the adverse effects of CL-PAA, decreasing inflammation markers and improving overall lung tissue health, indicating it may offer a protective benefit against oxidative stress-induced

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how different surface treatments affect the strength and failure types of high-viscosity glass ionomer cements (HVGICs) attached to silver diamine fluoride (SDF)-treated carious dentin.
- Human premolars were used to simulate carious dentin, treated with SDF, and then various treatments were applied to analyze bond strength and failure modes.
- Results showed that polyacrylic acid led to the highest bond strength for self-cured cements, while a combination of phosphoric acid and resin-modified adhesive was best for light-cured cements, with different failure patterns observed for each type.
Dietary Chlorella vulgaris supplementation modulates health, microbiota and the response to oxidative stress of Atlantic salmon.

Article Synopsis
- Microalgae, particularly Chlorella vulgaris, are being studied as health-boosting feed additives in aquaculture, specifically for Atlantic salmon, due to their ability to enhance immune function and manage stress responses.
- In the study, salmon were fed diets with varying levels of C. vulgaris and showed improved feed conversion and protein retention, with notable changes in gut microbial diversity and composition after feeding on higher amounts of the algae.
- Exposure to a stressor (peracetic acid) revealed that fish on higher algae diets exhibited less transcriptional stress response and increased antioxidant protein levels, suggesting that C. vulgaris may help mitigate stress effects in aquatic species.
