In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species of the genus Dejean, 1821, , which was collected in Micangshan Nature Reserve of Sichuan Province, China. Additionally, the COI mitochondrial gene was sequenced to provide additional evidence for this new species' validity. The results of phylogenetic analyses suggest that this new species is sister to Schawaller, 2008. Furthermore, an updated key to species from Sichuan Province is provided.

Cognitive impairment caused by anesthesia and surgery is one of the most common complications with multiple etiologies that occurs in elderly patients. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood, and there is a lack of therapeutic strategies. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that myelin loss, abnormal phosphorylation of the tau protein and neuronal apoptosis are substantial driving factors of cognitive deficits.

Background: There are differences in the extent of excision of articular processes, spinal processes and posterior ligamentum complexes (PLC) for posterior approach lumbar interbody fusion. Given that the biomechanical significance of these structures has been verified and that deterioration of the biomechanical environment is the main trigger for complications in both fused and adjacent motion segments, changes in decompression ranges may affect the potential risk of adjacent segmental disease (ASD) biomechanically; however, this topic has yet to be identified.
Methods: Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with different decompression strategies was simulated in a well-validated lumbosacral model.

Efferocytosis in macrophages typically engages an anti-inflammatory positive feedback regulatory mechanism. In osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by imbalanced inflammatory homeostasis, the proinflammatory state of macrophages in the immune microenvironment can be reversed through enhanced efferocytosis. This study develops an in situ proefferocytosis hydrogel microsphere (macrophage polarity converter, H-C@IL) for OA treatment.

Polymeric materials featuring excellent flame retardancy are essential for applications requiring high levels of fire safety, while those based on biopolymers are highly favored due to their eco-friendly nature, sustainable characteristics, and abundant availability. This review first outlines the pyrolysis behaviors of biopolymers, with particular emphasis on naturally occurring ones derived from non-food sources such as cellulose, chitin/chitosan, alginate, and lignin. Then, the strategies for chemical modifications of biopolymers for flame-retardant purposes through covalent, ionic, and coordination bonds are presented and compared.
