In recent years, engineering of blood vessels, which can provide the effective transport of nutrients and various metabolites, is one of the major challenges in tissue reconstruction. Many researches are carried out to develop cell-seeded bioconstructs based on natural polymers, particularly on PEGylated fibrin. Therefore, the aim of this study was to reveal the optimal component ratio for modified fibrin hydrogels in order to provide favorable conditions for vascular development of endothelial and mesenchymal stem cell co-culture. It has been found out that the PEGylated fibrin hydrogels can support 3D cell growth in HUVECs and hASCs co-culture. The microporous filamentous hydrogel prepared from PEGylated 5 : 1 fibrinogen and using the 1 : 0.2 protein to thrombin ratio had the most favorable microenvironment for cell distribution, growth and development in the studied co-culture that resulted in high levels of expression of proteins required for angiogenesis.

Tissue adhesives have attracted significant interest in the field of hemostasis. However, challenges including weak tissue adhesion, inadequate biocompatibility, and instability limit their clinical applications. Here, we have developed a gelatin-DOPA-knob/fibrinogen hydrogel inspired by the fibrin polymerization and mussel adhesion, resulting in a biocompatible bioadhesive with outstanding adhesion performance and great storage stability.

An incomplete discoid lateral meniscus is often associated with radial tears, which cause meniscal extrusion and result in poor healing outcomes. Centralization has recently been used as a surgical method to reduce extrusion. However, various repair techniques use single point of fixation sutures exclusively on the femoral side, potentially hindering healing.

Background: Venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are the second-leading cause of death in cancer patients, with an incidence of 5%-17% in lymphoma patients, particularly higher in those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Existing risk assessment models (RAMs) like the Khorana and ThroLy scores have limitations and are inadequately validated for NHL patients. Coagulation markers such as D-dimer, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), and thrombomodulin (TM) show a potential predictive value for cancer-associated VTE but lack extensive research in NHL.

Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the accumulation of biofilm. Antimicrobials have been used as adjuncts to non-surgical periodontal therapy. However, systemic antibiotics often require large dosages to achieve suitable concentrations at the disease site.

Purpose: To explore the association of D-dimer-to-albumin ratio (DAR) with hospital readmission within one year in patients with acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
Patients And Methods: From January 2019 to October 2022, 509 patients with COPD were enrolled in Baise People's Hospital for this retrospective cohort study. Baseline data and blood samples were collected, and patients were followed up for one year after inclusion.
