AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Immunoglobulin replacement therapy has been shown in clinical trials to be an important therapeutic option for reducing the incidence of serious bacterial infections and improving the quality of life in patients with primary and secondary immunodeficiencies (PID and SID, respectively). This article summarizes a poster series presented at the 19th Biennial Meeting of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (October 14-17, 2020) further evaluating real-world usage and patient/physician experience with Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human) 20% Solution (Ig20Gly) in patients with PID and facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) in patients with PID or SID.

Healthcare resource utilization and costs in immunodeficient patients receiving subcutaneous Ig: Real-world evidence from France.
PLoS One
January 2025
French National Reference Center for Primary Immunodeficiencies (CEREDIH) and Pediatric Immunology, Hematology and Rheumatology Unit, Necker Enfants Malades University Hospital, Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), Paris, France.
Background: Subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) replacement therapy is indicated for patients with hypogammaglobulinemia caused by primary (PID) and secondary immunodeficiencies (SID).
Objective: To compare healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and related direct medical costs of patients in France treated with weekly conventional SCIg (cSCIg) vs monthly hyaluronidase-facilitated SCIg (fSCIg).
Methods: This retrospective study of Ig-naïve patients with PID or SID newly receiving a SCIg between 2016 and 2018, extracted from the French National Healthcare reimbursement database (SNDS), analyzed the SCIg-related HCRU and reimbursed costs generated from in-hospital (hospitalizations and SCIg doses) or at-home (nurse visits [NV] and pump provider visits [PPV], drug doses) SCIg administration.
Employing Polymer and Gel to Fabricate Scaffold-like Cancellous Orthopedic Screw: Polycaprolactone/Chitosan/Hydroxyapatite.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University, Najafabad 8543131, Iran.
Using metallic/polymeric orthopedic screws causes cavities in bone trauma after the attachment of broken bones, which prolongs the healing. Yet, it remains unknown how to overcome such a challenge. The main aim of this research was to use both polymers and gels to fabricate and study a new PCL/chitosan/hydroxyapatite scaffold-like orthopedic screw for cancellous bone trauma.

Long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation compromises skin structural integrity and results in disruption of normal physiological functions. Stem cells have gained attention in anti-photoaging, while controlling the tissue mechanical microenvironment of cell delivery sites is crucial for regulating cell fate and achieving optimal therapeutic performances. Here, we introduce a mechanically regulated human recombinant collagen (RHC) microcarrier generated through microfluidics, which is capable of modulating stem cell differentiation to treat photoaged skin.

January 2025
Department of Stomatology, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, 510630, China.
Background: Interaction between mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells plays a major role in OSCC progression. However, little is known about adipogenic differentiation alteration in OSCC-derived MSCs (OSCC-MSCs) and how these alterations affect OSCC growth.
Methods: MSCs were successfully isolated and cultured from normal gingival tissue, OSCC peritumoral tissue, and OSCC tissue.
Injectable, Biodegradable and Photothermal Hydrogel with Quorum Sensing Inhibitory Effects for Subcutaneous Fungal Infection Treatment.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Owing to the high invasion depth and easy formation of biofilms, the treatment of subcutaneous fungal infection is intractable and challenging. Herein, we report an injectable and biodegradable hydrogel with bactericidal, quorum sensing inhibition and antioxidant activities for the in situ treatment of subcutaneous fungal infection. The hydrogel (BEPE) was constructed by irradiating mixed bovine serum albumin (BSA), ε-polylysine and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (PDA) under near-infrared (NIR) light.
