The present report describes a case of mega-aortic syndrome accompanied with severe aortic regurgitation in a 75-year-old man who underwent a two-stage hybrid repair. Intraoperative pathologic findings at the first repair, consisting of Bentall operation and total arch replacement with a Lupiae graft, aided the identification of the giant cell aortitis. Despite complicating hemorrhagic stroke, steroid therapy was initiated and endovascular repair was subsequently completed. Over more than 2 years of follow-up, the patient continued steroid therapy and is doing well without any reintervention.

As common complications of diabetes, long-term hyperglycemia and inflammatory infiltration often lead to prolonged unhealing of chronic diabetic wounds. The natural hydrogel-containing plant polysaccharides were recorded to have effective hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory effects. This study focused on the accelerating effect of diabetic wound healing of hydrogels doped with polysaccharide (DOP)─calcium carbonate (CaCO) microspheres, which have glucose-responsive insulin release and anti-inflammatory effects.

Owing to the excellent stability, anticancer activity and immunogenicity, peroxynitrite (ONOO) has been gained enormous interests in cancer therapy. Nevertheless, precise delivery and control release of ONOO in tumors remains a big challenge. Herein, B16F10 cancer cell membrane/liposome hybrid membrane (CM-Lip) based biomimetic nanodrug with high-efficient tumor-homing and NIR-II laser controlled ONOO boost properties was designed for melanoma treatment.

Purpose: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a disease associated with high incidence and high mortality, which is a major problem threatening women's health. Xiaoyao Sanjie Decoction (XYSJD) exhibits remarkable therapeutic efficacy on TNBC; however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study verified the efficacy of XYSJD and its active component in the treatment of TNBC and explored its potential mechanism.

Background: Multiple factors, such as muscle fatty infiltration (FI), tendon collagen content, and collagen arrangement, determine bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing after rotator cuff (RC) repair.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of systemic administration of ezetimibe-atorvastatin (EZE/ATZ) combination on muscle FI and tendon collagen density and arrangement in an RC repair rat model.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Outcomes of an Individualized Hybrid Model for Repair of Infants With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Requiring Extracorporeal Life Support.

Introduction: Timing of repair for infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) requiring extracorporeal life support (ECLS) remains controversial. Approaches include early repair on ECLS, late repair on ECLS, or repair after ECLS decannulation; all have potential risks and benefits. To mitigate risk and maximize benefit, our group developed an individualized hybrid model in 2016 in which approach is based on prenatal risk stratification.
