Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects a significant proportion of aging males, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
Case Description: This case report details the management of a 58-year-old male with severe lower urinary tract symptoms and a markedly enlarged prostate, presenting with bladder stones and persistent obstruction despite medication. The patient underwent an open simple prostatectomy but developed bladder neck contracture and recurrent urinary retention, necessitating a suprapubic cystostomy.

Mechanical fatigue of the binders during the repeated volume change of Si-based anodes induces binder network collapse, resulting in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) failing prematurely. Herein, we designed a damageless polymer binder with a mechanically interlocked network utilizing [n]daisy chains (MIN) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to improve the structural cohesion of the Si-based anode. This MIN@PAA binder exhibits robust mechanical properties, high elasticity, and excellent adhesion.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if using an anaerobic adhesive on abutment screws impacts the stability of dental implants, specifically comparing external hexagon (EHC) and conical connections (CC).
- - Twenty implants were tested using a digital torque meter and resonance frequency measurements to gauge implant stability, revealing that ISQ values were lower after applying the adhesive.
- - Results indicated that while the adhesive reduced ISQ readings, its curing time had no additional effect on the stability, suggesting that comparisons of ISQ values between adhesive-treated and untreated screws are invalid.
cRGD-Conjugated Bilirubin Nanoparticles Alleviate Dry Eye Disease Via Activating the PINK1-Mediated Mitophagy.

Department of Ophthalmology, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytoprotective effect and the mechanism of cRGD-conjugated bilirubin nanoparticles (cNPs@BR) in dry eye disease (DED).
Methods: The binding capacity and cellular uptake of cNPs@BR in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs) were assessed by immunofluorescence. The anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative stress effects of cNPs@BR were determined by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, Western blot, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), and ELISA assay in LPS-stimulated RAW264.

Article Synopsis
- A new type of current collector for Li-ion batteries, made from woven ultra-light glass threads, is introduced, saving over 90% of the required metals like copper and aluminum.
- The design leads to significant weight reduction (over 80%) and improved battery performance, with increases in anode and cathode capacity, enhancing specific energy by 25%.
- The fabrication process is fully demonstrated in coin cell format, showing impressive cycling durability (300 cycles, 93% capacity retention) and high efficiency (>99.9%), paving the way for innovative battery designs.
