Objective:  To identify clinical factors those predict the need for patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) treatment in preterm neonates who had received prophylactic indomethacin.

Patients And Methods:  Preterm neonates with <28 weeks' gestational age admitted to level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Canada between 2010 and 2015 and who had received prophylactic indomethacin were included. Primary outcome was surgical ligation of PDA, while secondary outcomes were any PDA treatment and common neonatal morbidities.

Results:  Of the 7,024 eligible neonates, 843 (12%) neonates had received prophylactic indomethacin. Of them, 84 neonates (10%) required surgical ligation while 367 neonates (44%) received medical or surgical treatment for PDA. Logistic regression analyses identified gestational age (odds ratio [OR]: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58-0.87) and outborn status (OR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.09-3.93) as predictors for surgical ligation. Maternal hypertension (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.37-0.89), rupture of membranes (ROM) ≥24 hours (OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.96), and surfactant treatment (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.09-2.66) were predictors for medical or surgical treatment of PDA.

Conclusion:  In extremely preterm neonates who had received prophylactic indomethacin, gestational age and outborn status were predictors for surgical ligation of PDA, while maternal hypertension, ROM ≥24 hours, and surfactant treatment were associated with the medical or surgical treatment of PDA.

A multifunctional nanoplatform integrating multiple therapeutic functions may be an effective strategy to realize satisfactory therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of tumors. However, there is still a certain challenge in integrating multiple therapeutic agents into a single formulation using a simple method due to variations in their properties. In this work, multifunctional CuS-ICG@PDA-FA nanoparticles (CIPF NPs) with excellent ability to produce reactive oxygen species and photothermal conversion performance are fabricated by a simple and gentle method.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifaceted ocular surface disorder that significantly impacts patients' daily lives and imposes a substantial economic burden on society. Oxidative stress, induced by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is a critical factor perpetuating the inflammatory cycle in DED. Effectively scavenging ROS is essential to impede the progression of DED.

Dual intermittent aerations enhance nitrogen removal via anammox in anoxic/oxic biofilm process for carbon limited wastewater treatment.

School of Environment and Climate, Guangdong Engineering Research Center of Water Treatment Processes and Materials, and Guangdong Key Laboratory of Environmental Pollution and Health, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China; Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai), Zhuhai 519000, China.

Efficient nitrogen removal after organic capture is challenging through conventional nitrification-denitrification process. Two biofilm-based anoxic/oxic reactors, with a single intermittent zone (R1) or dual intermittent zones (R2), were compared in treating carbon-limited wastewater. Intermittent aeration integrated partial nitrification-anammox (PNA), partial denitrification-anammox (PDA), and denitrification, with anammox-related pathways contributing over 75 % nitrogen removal in both reactors.

The widespread accumulation of androgenic steroid endocrine disruptors in water and food has garnered increasing attention due to their significant risks to ecosystems and human health. These steroids, which cannot be completely eliminated, highlight the urgent need for advanced detection technologies. In this study, we present a novel emulsion-induced interface-anisotropic assembly strategy to synthesize bowl-like mesoporous polydopamine (PDA) particles, which exhibit high sensitivity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection.

By inducing apoptosis, promoting differentiation and reducing the migration of cancer cells, arsenic has a higher therapeutic effect and lower risk of recurrence and metastasis than conventional anticancer drugs. However, the low bioavailability and adverse side effects of arsenic hinder its application in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, a M1 macrophage membrane-coated nickel-arsenic/polydopamine nanocomplex (NiAsOx@P@M) was constructed to enhance the combined antitumor effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
