Delayed inflammatory nodules (DIN) after soft-tissue filler injection may occur after infections, vaccinations, or procedures. We report a DIN from predominantly low-molecular-weight HA (PLMW-HA) filler secondary to COVID-19 infection that was resistant to conservative management, requiring intralesional combination therapy with triamcinolone, 5-fluorouracil, and recombinant human hyaluronidase for resolution.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has emerged as a key contributor to its pathogenesis. We synthesized evidence from experimental and clinical studies showing that mtDNA damage, release, and mutation profoundly affect endothelial cells, macrophages, and vascular smooth muscle cells, thereby driving plaque initiation and progression. By activating immune signaling pathways-including cGAS-STING, NLRP3 inflammasome, and TLR9-mtDNA amplifies inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbating atherosclerotic lesion development.

Sleep deprivation is a growing concern in cardiovascular risk, causing physiological disruptions like autonomic dysregulation and inflammation. Recent research indicates that sleep deprivation increases sympathetic nervous activity while decreasing parasympathetic activity, leading to increased blood pressure, impaired endothelial function, and heightened inflammation. Exercise has emerged as a non-pharmacological approach to increase cardiovascular health.

Approximately half of the patients with OAIs in clinical practice fail to obtain microbiological results even after undergoing aspiration or surgery, which presents a significant challenge in clinical practice. The inability to identify pathogens can lead to incorrect antibiotic usage or under-treatment, increasing the risk of adverse outcomes.

Wound-infected bacterial biofilms are protected by self-secreted extracellular polymer substances (EPS), which can confer them with formidable resistance to the host's immune responses and antibiotics, and thus delays in diagnosis and treatment can cause stubborn infections and life-threatening complications. However, tailoring an integrated theranostic platform with the capability to promptly diagnose and treat wound biofilm infection still remains a challenge. Herein, a versatile erbium-doped carbon dot-encapsulated zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Er:CDs@ZIF-8) nanoheterojunction (C@Z nano-HJ) is tailored and incorporated into gelatin methacrylate/poly(-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) (GelMA/PHEAA)-based tough and sticky hydrogel dressing (GH-C@Z) to achieve wound biofilm infection-integrated theranostic application.
