Background: Articular cartilage repair has been a challenge in orthopedic practice due to the limited self-regenerative capability. Optimal treatment method for cartilage defects has not been defined. We investigated the effect of decellularized human placental (DHP) scaffold, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on hyaline cartilage regeneration in a rat model.
Methods: An osteochondral defect was created in trochlea region of the femur in all groups, bilaterally. No additional procedure was performed in control group (n = 14). Only the DHP scaffold was applied to the P group (n = 14). The DHP scaffold and 1 × 10 MSCs were applied to the PS group (n = 14). The DHP scaffold and PRP were applied to the PP group (n = 14). The DHP scaffold, 1 × 10 MSCs and PRP were applied to the PSP group (n = 14). Outcome measures at 12 weeks included Pineda histology score and qualitative histology.
Results: The mean Pineda scores of P, PS, PP, and PSP groups were significantly better than the control group (p = 0.031, p = 0.002, p < 0.001, p < 0001, respectively). There was no statistically difference in mean Pineda scores of P, PS, PP, and PSP groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, the DHP scaffold appears to be a promising scaffold on hyaline cartilage regeneration. The augmentation of DHP scaffold with MSCs and PRP combinations did not enhance its efficacy on articular cartilage regeneration.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Cyclodextrin-based stationary phases are important chiral selectors in liquid chromatography. These chiral selectors are most commonly used in the reversed-phase mode because native cyclodextrin assumes a torus conformation with a hydrophobic cavity, facilitating inclusion complexation in aqueous environments. However, the value of native and aliphatic-derivatized cyclodextrins in other modes, such as the normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) or super/subcritical fluid chromatography (SFC), remains unexplored.

Article Synopsis
- Photocyclisation reactions provide a useful method for creating complex polycyclic structures, especially in natural product synthesis, with the [4 + 2] reaction being less explored than its [2 + 2] counterpart.
- This study introduced the rapid assembly of a -type scaffold using an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction on a dehydrosecodine-type intermediate, achieving up to 77% yield under mild conditions via a micro-flow system.
- The research highlights the direct UV-LED activation of the DHP moiety, allowing for efficient [4 + 2] and [2 + 2] cyclisations without needing external photocatalysts, thus showcasing a novel approach to exploiting the reactivity of polyuns
