Objectives: To immunohistochemically characterize and correlate macrophage M1/M2 polarization status with disease severity at peri-implantitis sites.
Materials And Methods: A total of twenty patients (n = 20 implants) diagnosed with peri-implantitis (i.e., bleeding on probing with or without suppuration, probing depths ≥ 6 mm, and radiographic marginal bone loss ≥ 3 mm) were included. The severity of peri-implantitis was classified according to established criteria (i.e., slight, moderate, and advanced). Granulation tissue biopsies were obtained during surgical therapy and prepared for immunohistological assessment and macrophage polarization characterization. Macrophages, M1, and M2 phenotypes were identified through immunohistochemical markers (i.e., CD68, CD80, and CD206) and quantified through histomorphometrical analyses.
Results: Macrophages exhibiting a positive CD68 expression occupied a mean proportion of 14.36% (95% CI 11.4-17.2) of the inflammatory connective tissue (ICT) area. Positive M1 (CD80) and M2 (CD206) macrophages occupied a mean value of 7.07% (95% CI 5.9-9.4) and 5.22% (95% CI 3.8-6.6) of the ICT, respectively. The mean M1/M2 ratio was 1.56 (95% CI 1-12-1.9). Advanced peri-implantitis cases expressed a significantly higher M1 (%) when compared with M2 (%) expression. There was a significant correlation between CD68 (%) and M1 (%) expression and probing depth (PD) values.
Conclusion: The present immunohistochemical analysis suggests that macrophages constitute a considerable proportion of the inflammatory cellular composition at peri-implantitis sites, revealing a significant higher expression for M1 inflammatory phenotype at advanced peri-implantitis sites, which could possibly play a critical role in disease progression.
Clinical Relevance: Macrophages have critical functions to establish homeostasis and disease. Bacteria might induce oral dysbiosis unbalancing the host's immunological response and triggering inflammation around dental implants. M1/M2 status could possibly reveal peri-implantitis' underlying pathogenesis.

Background: Osteosarcomas (OS) are malignant bone tumors prevalent in adolescents, characterized by aggressiveness and early metastasis. Current treatments including surgery and chemotherapy face challenges due to drug limitations and the complex tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: Tumour membranes (TM) derived from OS cells and macrophage membranes (MM) derived from macrophages were mixed to create hybrid membranes (HM), which were subsequently used to encapsulate microRNA-665(miR-665)-loaded Poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles, forming HM@PLGA/miR-665 complexes.

Oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) have emerged as critical damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and modulators of numerous biological processes, including inflammation, playing a significant role in health and disease. Despite their recognized influence on macrophage polarization, the precise mechanisms by which distinct OxPL species shape macrophage behavior remains poorly understood. The present study investigates the impact of two oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPC): omega 3 1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (OxPC22:6), and omega 6 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (OxPC18:2), on the lipidomic profile of RAW264.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cordyceps sinensis is a valuable Chinese medicine that has the effects of tonifying the lungs and kidneys, regulating the immune system, etc. Fermented Cordyceps Powder (FCP) is the fermentation product of Cordyceps sinensis mycelium, which has similar composition and effects to natural Cordyceps sinensis. FCP has been used as an adjunctive treatment of silicosis, however, the complete comprehension of these molecular mechanisms remains elusive.

Diabetic wound healing is hindered by oxidative stress, impaired angiogenesis, and inflammation. To address these issues, we developed a novel silver-gallic acid nanoparticle and incorporated it into a methacryloyl silk fibroin hydrogel (Ag@GA/Gel) based on the concept of polyphenol-metal nanoparticle networks for diabetic wound healing. In vitro experiments demonstrated that this hydrogel could promote macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype, scavenge reactive oxygen species, and exhibit pro-angiogenic and antibacterial properties.
