Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are widely investigated for their implications in cell-cell signaling, immune modulation, disease pathogenesis, cancer, regenerative medicine, and as a potential drug delivery vector. However, maintaining integrity and bioactivity of EVs between Good Manufacturing Practice separation/filtration and end-user application remains a consistent bottleneck towards commercialization. Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (mEVs), separated from bovine milk, could provide a relatively low-cost, scalable platform for large-scale mEV production; however, the reliance on cold supply chain for storage remains a logistical and financial burden for biologics that are unstable at room temperature.

[Mechanism of inflammatory microecological response to TAS2R14/SIgA/TSLP in regulating epithelial cell barrier in cold asthma rats through lung-gut axis by using Shegan Mahuang Decoction and bitter and purging Chinese herbs].

Anhui University of Chinese Medicine Hefei 230012, China Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Application and Transformation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Prevention and Treatment of Major Pulmonary Diseases Hefei 230031, China Key Laboratory of Xin'an Medicine, Ministry of Education Hefei 230038, China.

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Shegan Mahuang Decoction(SGMH) and its bitter Chinese herbs(BCHs) regulated the lung-gut axis through the bitter taste receptor 14(TAS2R14)/secretory immunoglobulin A(SIgA)/thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP) to intervene in the epithelial cell barrier of cold asthma rats. Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into the following five groups: normal group, model group, dexamethasone group, SGMH group, and BCHs group. A 10% ovalbumin(OVA) solution was used to sensitize the rats via subcutaneous injection on both sides of the abdomen and groin, combined with 2% OVA atomization and cold(2-4 ℃) stimulation to induce a cold asthma model in rats.

High-Pressure Refrigerant Gas Injection Injury to the Hand.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev

January 2025

From the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center, Toledo, OH (Dr. Simmons); the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, OH (Dr. Vesselle); the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland, OH (Dr. Yildirim, Dr. Bafus); the Town Center Orthopaedics, Reston, VA (Dr. Yildirim); and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, Cleveland, OH (Dr. Bafus).

High-pressure injection injuries, although rare, are commonly discussed orthopaedic surgical emergencies. In many cases, high-pressure injection injuries can have detrimental effects on the patient. However, there are rare instances where surgical intervention may be more harmful than helpful.

The fish intestine is a complex ecosystem where microbial communities are dynamic and influenced by various factors. Preservation conditions during field collection can introduce biases affecting the microbiota amplified during sequencing. Therefore, establishing effective, standardized methods for sampling fish intestinal microbiota is crucial.

Self-cleaning applications based on bionic surface designs requires an in-depth understanding of unique and complex wetting and evaporation processes of sessile droplets on natural biosurfaces. To this end, hydrophobic bamboo and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana leaves are excellent candidates for self-cleaning applications, but various properties, such as the heat and mass transfer processes during evaporation, remain unknown. Here, the dynamics of contact angle, radius, and heat and mass transfer during evaporation of sessile droplets on bamboo and Kalanchoe blossfeldiana leaves with roughness in the range 2.
