Objective: Aim: To analyze the mechanisms of regulation of the body's proteolytic systems during inflammation, detection of inflammation markers in blood and prostate secretions in the experimental benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 30 male rats on the model of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Rats were randomized as following: the 1st group (n=6) - intact animals; the 2nd group (n=24) - rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

The "architectural suitability" of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering is commonly evaluated by assessing the pore volume and the mean pore size (or pore size distribution, if possible) and comparing these values with the reference ranges of human cancellous bone. However, these two parameters cannot precisely describe the complex architecture of bone scaffolds and just provide a preliminary comparative criterion. Permeability is suggested as a more comprehensive and significant parameter to characterize scaffold architecture and mass transport capability, being also related to bone in-growth and, thus, functional properties.

Accurately estimating high-dimensional permeability (k) fields through data assimilation is critical for minimizing uncertainties in groundwater flow and solute transport simulations. However, designing an effective monitoring network to obtain diverse system responses in heterogeneous aquifers for data assimilation presents significant challenges. To investigate the influence of different measurement types (hydraulic heads, solute concentrations, and permeability) and monitoring strategies on the accuracy of permeability characterization, this study integrates a deep learning-based surrogate modeling approach and the entropy-based maximum information minimum redundancy (MIMR) monitoring design criterion into a data assimilation framework.

Background: Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) is the most devastating complication of arthroplasty surgery and affects 1-5% of patients. Despite strict adherence to aseptic protocols and preventive measures, infection is the most common reason for revision arthroplasty, and the incidence is increasing. Treatment of PJI is challenging and often requires repeated major surgeries with sequentially poor results.

In the context of evaluating the safety and efficacy of dermal products, pharmacokinetic (PK) studies face considerable challenges, particularly concerning topically applied formulations. This underscores the necessity for alternative methods, such as in vitro permeation tests (IVPT) and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling, to better understand the dermal pharmacokinetics of a product. The purpose of this study was to modify, verify, and validate the PBPK model of caffeine permeation through human skin previously developed by Patel et al.
