AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a new artificial bone composed of nano-grade pearl powder, chitosan-hyaluronic acid, and recombinant human bone morphology protein-2 (rhBMP-2) for promoting bone healing.
- A bone defect was created in the femur of test subjects, with different groups receiving various treatments, including a control group with no material and an experimental group with the new composite.
- Results showed that after 12 weeks, the experimental group had complete bone repair and significant new bone formation compared to control and blank groups, with no adverse effects, indicating the composite's potential for effective bone repair.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the osteogenic effect of nano-grade pearl powder(NPP)/chitosan-hyaluronic acid (C-HA)/recombinant human bone morphology protein-2 (rhBMP-2) artificial bone.
Methods: A bone defect model with a diameter of 7 mm and a height of 10 mm was made at the distal end of the femur. NPP/C-HA stent containing rhBMP-2 was prepared according to the shape of the defect. No material was implanted in the defect as blank group. NPP/C-HA was used as the control group, NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 was implanted into the experimental group. At 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks, the bone effects of each component were detected by cone-beam CT(CBCT), H-E and Masson staining. Serum ALP activity and OCN in tissues to determine the osteogenic differentiation and osteogenesis maturity were detected. SPSS 18.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: At 12 weeks, the defect was completely repaired in the experimental group. No immunological side effects such as inflammation and rejection were observed. At 8 and 12 weeks, CBCT showed that the experimental group had a higher CT value (Hounsfield units, HU) compared with the control group and the blank group(P<0.05). H-E and Masson staining showed that the experimental group had obvious new bone formation compared with the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks and 12 weeks, and ALP activity of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group at 8 weeks. OCN immunohistochemical scoring of the experimental group was significantly different from the control group and the blank group(P<0.05).
Conclusions: NPP/C-HA/rhBMP-2 has good tissue fusion, osteoinductivity, osteoconductivity and osteogenicity, which is expected to provide more effective treatment for bone repair.

Background: For radiotherapy of head and neck cancer (HNC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role due to its high soft tissue contrast. Moreover, it offers the potential to acquire functional information through diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with the potential to personalize treatment. The aim of this study was to acquire repetitive DWI during the course of online adaptive radiotherapy on an 1.

Background: Comprehensive clinical data regarding factors influencing the individual disease course of patients with movement disorders treated with deep brain stimulation might help to better understand disease progression and to develop individualized treatment approaches.
Methods: The clinical core data set was developed by a multidisciplinary working group within the German transregional collaborative research network ReTune. The development followed standardized methodology comprising review of available evidence, a consensus process and performance of the first phase of the study.
Simulation-based training program effect on pediatric nurses' knowledge and performance regarding heel-prick during newborn blood screening test.

Background: One of the best ways to impart important skills to trainees is through simulation-based training, which is more reliable than the conventional clinical examination method. It is used in pediatric nursing training to allow nurses to practice and improve their clinical and conversational skills during an actual child encounter. A heel-prick is a complex psychomotor task that requires skill and knowledge from the pediatric nurse performing the procedure while applying for the National Newborn Screening Program.

Background: Glia mediated neuroinflammation and degeneration of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons are some of the hall marks of pyrethroid neurotoxicity. Here we investigated the sex specific responses of inflammatory cytokines, microglia, astrocyte and parvalbumin positive inhibitory GABAergic interneurons to λ-cyhalothrin (LCT) exposures in rats.
Methods: Equal numbers of male and female rats were given oral corn oil, 2 mg/kg.

Introduction: Despite the existing reports on mistreatment and disrespectful maternal care, few studies have investigated interventions to mitigate this issue. The present study aims to assess the impact of consulting midwives on maternal rights charter on perception of respectful maternity care and postpartum blues among postpartum women in two hospitals in southern Iran.
Methodology: This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 437 postpartum women (217 mothers before the intervention and 220 mothers after the intervention) and 44 midwives working in the maternity ward of two hospitals affiliated to Bushehr University of Medical Sciences in 2023-2024.
