The infections associated with implantable medical devices can greatly affect the therapeutic effect and impose a heavy financial burden. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop antimicrobial biomaterials for the prevention and mitigation of healthcare-associated infections. Here, a facile construction of antimicrobial surface via one-step co-deposition of peptide polymer and dopamine is reported. The co-deposition of antimicrobial peptide polymer DLL BLG with dopamine (DA) on the surface of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) provides peptide polymer-modified TPU surface (TPU-DLL BLG ). The antimicrobial test shows that the TPU-DLL BLG surfaces of the sheet and the catheter both exhibit potent killing of 99.9% of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). In addition, the TPU-DLL BLG surface also exhibits excellent biocompatibility. This one-step antimicrobial modification method is fast and efficient, implies promising application in surface antimicrobial modification of implantable biomaterials and medical devices.

Functional cure of a young child with chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis treated by pegylated interferon α combination therapy: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Jumei Doctor Group Medical (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd, Shenzhen, China.
Rationale: Current research on antiviral treatment in children is relatively limited, especially in children under 1 year old.
Patient Concerns: Liu XX, an 8-month-old infant (case number: 3001120473), presented to the hospital in August 2016 with a chief complaint of being "hepatitis B surface antigen positive for 8 months and experiencing abnormal liver function for 5 months."
Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed as chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis (G3S3-4) with active compensatory phase.
High-Sensitive Cardiac Troponin I and Th1/Th2 Polarization in Queens With Pyometra.
Vet Med Sci
January 2025
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey.
Objectives: To determine T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cytokine polarization, as well as high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels, in cats with pyometra.
Methods: We used 40 queens in the study. A total of 20 out of these 40 queens were diagnosed with the pyometra group (PYO) and the other 20 made up the healthy group (control; CTR).
Nuclear N-WASP Induces Actin Polymerization in the Nucleus with Cortactin as an Essential Factor.

Biotech Research and Innovation Center (BRIC), University of Copenhagen, Ole Maaløes Vej5, 2200 Copenhagen, Denmark.
Nuclear actin polymerization was reported to control different nuclear processes, but its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we show that N-WASP can trigger the formation of nuclear N-WASP/F-actin nodules. While a cancer hotspot mutant of N-WASP lacking the VCA domain (V418fs) had a dominant negative function on nuclear F-actin, an even shorter truncation mutant found in melanoma (R128*) strongly promoted nuclear actin polymerization.

In the context of bone fractures, the influence of the mechanical environment on the healing outcome is widely accepted, while its influence at the cellular level is still poorly understood. This study explores the influence of mechanical load on naïve mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation, focusing on hypertrophic chondrocyte differentiation. Unlike primary bone healing, which involves the direct differentiation of MSCs into bone-forming cells, endochondral ossification uses an intermediate cartilage template that remodels into bone.

Objective: To analyze the diagnostic value of a combined test of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (CCP), anti-keratin antibody (AKA), anti-carbamylated protein antibody (Carp antibody), and rheumatoid factor (RF) in the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: Sixty cases of RA admitted to our hospital from 2021 to 2022 (observation group) were selected, along with 50 cases of healthy physical examiners (control group). The results of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in both groups were analyzed: the concentration of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in each group at different levels; the comparison of various testing methods with the "gold standard" test; and the ROC curve analysis of CCP antibody, AKA antibody, Carp antibody, and rheumatoid factor in each group.
