Published: October 2017

Because articular cartilage has very limited healing potential, most symptomatic cartilage injuries eventually result in end-stage osteoarthritis and are treated with artificial joint replacement. Our interdisciplinary, comparative orthopedic research performed by a team of DVMs, MDs, engineers, and basic scientists has yielded marked progress toward effective biologic joint restoration strategies by bringing bench-side ideas to fruition in bedside applications in both canine and human patients. This mini-review summarizes the progress of biologic joint restoration strategies at our center.

Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness, is characterized by synovitis, progressive joint damage, and bone erosion. Even though the potent drugs available contain biologics, several patients fail to react to them or cause hostile effects.

Objectives: Betanin (BTN), the betacyanin present in the red beetroot, has antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and apoptotic properties.

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) process tumor vaccines and present tumor antigens as the first signals to T cells to activate anti-tumor immunity, which process requires the assistance of co-stimulatory second signals on APCs. The immune checkpoint programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) not only mediates the immune escape of tumor cells but also acts as a co-inhibitory second signal on APCs. The serious dysfunction of second signals due to the high expression of PD-L1 on APCs in the tumor body results in the inefficiency of tumor vaccines.

Observation of Large Low-Field Magnetoresistance in Layered (NdNiO):NdO Films at High Temperatures.

Adv Mater

State Key Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems Engineering, Electronic Materials Research Laboratory, Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, 710049, China.

Large low-field magnetoresistance (LFMR, < 1 T), related to the spin-disorder scattering or spin-polarized tunneling at boundaries of polycrystalline manganates, holds considerable promise for the development of low-power and ultrafast magnetic devices. However, achieving significant LFMR typically necessitates extremely low temperatures due to diminishing spin polarization as temperature rises. To address this challenge, one strategy involves incorporating Ruddlesden-Popper structures (ABO):AO, which are layered derivatives of perovskite structure capable of potentially inducing heightened magnetic fluctuations at higher temperatures.

Graphene is the first 2D atomic crystal, and its isolation heralded a new era in materials science with the emergence of several other atomically thin materials displaying multifunctional properties. The safety assessment of new materials is often something of an afterthought, but in the case of graphene, the initial isolation and characterization of the material was soon followed by the assessment of its potential impact on living systems. The Graphene Flagship project addressed the health and environmental aspects of graphene and other 2D materials, providing an instructive lesson in interdisciplinarity - from materials science to biology.

Global Burden of Early-Onset Ischemic Heart Disease, 1990 to 2019.

JACC Adv

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

Background: Early-onset ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a growing burden associated with high disability and death.

Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the burden of incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) of early-onset IHD from 1990 to 2019.

Methods: Data on the burden of early-onset IHD (men<55 years, women<65 years), including prevalence, incidence, DALY, and deaths, were collected from the Global Burden of Disease study for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019.
