Skin wound healing is often hindered by disrupted mitochondrial homeostasis and imbalanced macrophage glucose metabolism, posing a critical challenge to improve patient outcomes. Developing new wound healing dressings capable of effectively regulating macrophage immune-metabolic functions remains a pressing issue. Herein, a highly adhesive polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel loaded with the Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor Filgotinib (Fil@GEL) is prepared to modulate macrophage metabolic reprogramming and restore normal mitochondrial function. Fil@GEL exhibits superior shear adhesion strength compared to commercially available tissue binder products, providing adequate adhesion for skin wound closure. Additionally, Fil@GEL exhibits the capacity to inhibit M1-type macrophage polarization by suppressing the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, and induces a metabolic shift in macrophages from aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, which results in decreased lactate production, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and the restoration of mitochondrial homeostasis. The Fil@GEL hydrogel significantly accelerates skin wound healing compared to the control group, reduces intra-wound inflammation, and promotes collagen regeneration. In summary, this highly adhesive hydrogel demonstrates exceptional performance as a drug carrier, exerting immunometabolic modulation through firm wound adhesion and sustained filgotinib release, underscoring its substantial potential as an effective wound dressing.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the risk factors for postoperative complications following Femoral Neck System (FNS) fixation in young patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs).

Methods: We retrospective analyzed 133 patients with FNFs who underwent FNS fixation between May 2021 and October 2023. Potential risk factors that may affect the results included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), Pauwels classification, Garden classification, fracture anatomical classification, reduction method, reduction quality, coronal plane position of the FNS bolt.

Considering the high degree of malignancy, recurrence rate and poor prognosis, exploring promising targets is an imperious strategy for colorectal carcinoma therapy. Recent studies have indicated that GABPα plays a role in cancer aggressiveness, but its exact function and regulatory mechanisms in colorectal cancer progression remain unclear. This study aims to explore the biological role of GABPα and its upstream regulator, miR-378a-5p, in modulating cancer progression.

Angiogenesis, a key point in the association of gut microbiota and its metabolites with disease.

The gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a crucial role in human health and disease, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. Chronic inflammation is a common feature of these diseases and is closely related to angiogenesis (the process of forming new blood vessels), which is often dysregulated in pathological conditions. Inflammation potentially acts as a central mediator.

We aimed to investigate the mechanism of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in the accelerated fracture healing process during Traumatic brain injury (TBI). The lateral ventricles of mice in the TBI model group were injected with adenovirus-packaged short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-HMGB1 or overexpressing (ov)-HMGB1 vector. We found HMGB1 levels were higher in bone tissue at the fracture end of TBI combined with fracture model mice.

Electronic address:

Delayed wound healing in patients with diabetes remains a major health challenge worldwide. Uncontrolled bacterial infection leads to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and persistent inflammatory responses, which seriously hinder conventional physiological healing processes after injury. Biofilms, as protective barriers for bacteria, pose a critical obstacle to effective bacterial eradication.
