Published: September 2023

Vulvar rejuvenation, which includes both functional and aesthetic aspects, has received a lot of attention in recent years. Despite the fact that surgical interventions have proven to be effective, the development of minimally invasive techniques for restoring volume and tissue function remains a top priority. This case study describes a novel method for vulvar volumization and collagen stimulation of the labia majora using a hyaluronic acid filling technique. The procedure begins with a meticulous assessment of each patient's anatomical characteristics and specific concerns, followed by hyaluronic acid retroinjections using a microcannula. The current article describes the use of this technique on a single patient and emphasizes its potential benefits in addressing various vulvar concerns, with a focus on minimal downtime and high patient satisfaction. The case report adds to the ongoing search for optimal vulvar rejuvenation strategies by providing valuable insights into the efficacy and utility of this novel approach.

Hijacking the hyaluronan assisted iron endocytosis to promote the ferroptosis in anticancer photodynamic therapy.

State Key Laboratory of Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100005, PR China. Electronic address:

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) eradicates tumor cells by the light-stimulated reactive oxygen species, which also induces lipid peroxidation (LPO) and subsequently ferroptosis, an iron-depended cell death. Ferroptosis has a tremendous therapeutic potential in cancer treatment, however, the ferroptosis efficiency is largely limited by the available iron in cells. Through hijacking the CD44-mediated iron endocytosis of hyaluronan (HA), here PDT with enhanced ferroptosis was realized by a HA@Ce6 nanogel self-assembled from HA, a photosensitizer Chlorin e6 (Ce6) and Fe as cross-linkers.

Hyaluronic acid (HA), a vital polysaccharide naturally present in human tissues, is widely utilized in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to its diverse functionalities and bioactivity. Rapid and accurate quantification of HA is essential for the quality control of its products. Enzymatic quantification methods, known for their simplicity and high specificity, were employed for polysaccharide measurement.

Camptothecin (CPT) exhibits potent anticancer activity, but its clinical application is limited by poor solubility and severe side effects. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is gaining attention in drug delivery systems due to its excellent biocompatibility and tumor-targeting properties. In this study, we conjugated CPT to the reducing end of ultra-low molecular weight HA to create a series of HA-decorated CPT conjugates.

Electronic address:

The γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GGT) is an important tumor marker, which has been reported to be firmly associated with the developmental stage of liver cancer. Therefore, it makes sense to image and monitor γ-GGT level and design γ-GGT-responsive prodrug for integrated diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Herein, we prepare a doxorubicin (Dox) prodrug for imaging γ-GGT and on-demand treating liver cancer.

Among the various factors implicated in the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), visceral hypersensitivity and mucosal resistance have been recently re-evaluated in relation to the increasing phenomenon of proton pump inhibitor failure, particularly in patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD). Intensive research has allowed us to understand that noxious substances contained in the refluxate are able to interact with esophageal epithelium and to induce the elicitation of symptoms. The frequent evidence of microscopic esophagitis able to increase the permeability of the mucosa, the proximity of sensory afferent nerve fibers to the esophageal lumen favoring the higher sensitivity to noxious substances and the possible activation of inflammatory pathways interacting with sensory nerve endings are pathophysiological alterations confirming that mucosal resistance is impaired in GERD patients.
