To evaluate the drug release, cytocompatibility with periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), and therapeutic efficacy of GelMA hydrogel loaded with resolvin D1 (RvD1) in treating rat periodontal inflammation and alveolar bone damage. An RvD1 complexed with GelMA was prepared, and its release kinetics and compatibility with PDLCs were assessed. Rats with induced periodontitis were treated weekly with topical applications of vehicle, GelMA, RvD1, or RvD1 complexed with GelMA for four weeks. Periodontal inflammation and tissue regeneration were evaluated using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and histochemical staining, while alveolar bone repair and regeneration were analyzed through micro-CT. The RvD1 complexed with GelMA effectively released RvD1 and enhanced the proliferation and viability of PDLCs. Compared to RvD1 alone, treatment with RvD1 complexed with GelMA significantly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, TNF-α and RANKL expression, and osteoclast formation in periodontal tissues. Additionally, it promoted the expression of specific anti-inflammatory and regenerative markers. Micro-CT analysis confirmed significant new bone formation in the RvD1 complexed with GelMA-treated group. RvD1 complexed with GelMA provides sustained drug release and biocompatibility, effectively resolves periodontal inflammation, and promotes tissue regeneration in periodontitis.

Typical monoamine-based antidepressants have significant limitations, including a time lag for therapeutic response and low efficacy (more than one-third of depressed patients fail to respond to multiple antidepressant medications and are considered treatment-resistant). Conversely, ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, exhibits rapid and sustained antidepressant actions in patients with treatment-resistant depression. However, clinical use of ketamine is limited due to its serious side effects.

This process is orchestrated by specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPM), a class of bioactive lipids able to reduce immune activation and promote removal of tissue debris and apoptotic cells by macrophages. Although SPMs are the lipid class that has been best studied for its role in facilitating the resolution of self-limited inflammation, a number of other lipid signals, including endocannabinoids, also exert protective immunomodulatory effects on immune cells, including macrophages.

Background: Pregnancy is a physiological state during which inflammation occurs. This complex biological response is necessary for the implantation process as well as delivery. In turn, its suppression during gestation favors the normal course of the pregnancy.

Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, elicits swift antidepressant effects even in subjects with treatment-resistant depression. Nonetheless, owing to the serious adverse effects associated with ketamine, including psychotomimetic effects, the development of safer rapid-acting antidepressants is imperative. The elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the antidepressant effects of ketamine will facilitate the advancement of these alternative treatments.
