The advantage of low-temperature forming through direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing is becoming a strategy for the construction of innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs). Optimization of the complex formulation, including factors such as the printing ink, presence of solvents, and potential low mechanical strength, are challenges during process development. This study presents an application of DIW to fabricate water-soluble, high-dose, and sustained-release DDSs. Utilizing poorly compressible metformin hydrochloride as a model drug, a core-shell delivery system was developed, featuring a core composed of 96 % drug powder and 4 % binder, with a shell structure serving as a drug-release barrier. This design aligns with the sustained-release profile of traditional processes, achieving a 25.8 % reduction in volume and enhanced mechanical strength. The strategy facilitates sustained release of high-dose water-soluble formulations for over 12 h, potentially improving patient compliance by reducing formulation size. Process optimization and multi-batch flexibility were also explored in this study. Our findings provide a valuable reference for the development of innovative DDSs and 3D-printed drugs.

In two-stage revision of infected implants, the first stage involves removing the implant and implanting a joint spacer, and the second stage involves implanting a new prosthesis at least 6 weeks later. Spacers have two main functions: local administration of high-dose antibiotics, and preservation of the joint space by reducing soft tissue retraction and improving patient comfort until reimplantation. The present review aims to detail the necessary characteristics of antibiotics added to cement to achieve good joint diffusion, to describe the steps of two-stage revision, and to present the types of spacer available according to the joint and complications.

Background: Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is an acute systemic inflammatory syndrome characterized by fever and multiple organ failure, which is triggered by immunotherapy or certain infections. Immune checkpoint inhibitors rarely cause immune-related adverse event- cytokine release syndrome (irAE-CRS). This article presents a case report of irAE-CRS triggered by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Excess of selenium (Se) in aquatic ecosystems has necessitated thorough investigations into the effects/consequences of this metalloid on the autochthonous organisms exposed to it. The molecular details of Se-mediated adaptive response remain unknown in cyanobacteria. This study aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms driving the divergent physiological responses of cyanobacteria on exposure to selenate [Se(VI)] or selenite [Se(IV)], the two major water-soluble oxyanions of Se.

Article Synopsis
- Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is highlighted as a water-soluble dietary fiber that aids in weight management, but research is limited for nonobese individuals and high doses' effects on liver function.
- The study explored the effects of KGM in both obese and nonobese mice, finding that it reduced body weight and improved lipid metabolism in obese mice, while nonobese mice showed no significant changes.
- High-dose KGM improved lipid composition in obese mice but posed risks to liver health, indicating differing metabolic responses to KGM between the two groups and suggesting careful consideration for its use in weight management.
