The lymphatic tissue of ileum, sacculus rotundus and appendix was poorly developed without germinal centres in germfree rabbits; on the other hand, in conventional rabbits, the lymphatic tissue was abundant with numerous germinal centers. In germfree rabbits, the stroma of villi of the jejunum and ileum possessed low cellularity, in conventional rabbits, the villi were wide with rich cellularity. The basal position of lymphocytes was predominant in the villi of ileum of germfree rabbits, in conventional rabbits a high percentage of lymphocytes was in the apical position.

Whey Protein-Based Hydrogel Microspheres for Endovascular Embolization.

Transarterial embolization (TAE) is an image-guided, minimally invasive procedure for treating various clinical conditions by delivering embolic agents to occlude diseased arteries. Conventional embolic agents focus on vessel occlusion but can cause unintended long-term inflammation and ischemia in healthy tissues. Next-generation embolic agents must exhibit biocompatibility, biodegradability, and effective drug delivery, yet some degradable microspheres degrade too quickly, leading to the potential migration of fragments into distal blood vessels causing off-target embolization.

The opioid crisis has claimed approximately one million lives in the United States since 1999, underscoring a significant public health concern. This surge in opioid use disorder (OUD) fatalities necessitates improved therapeutic options. Current OUD therapies often require daily clinical visits, leading to poor patient compliance and high costs to the health systems.

Wood-Derived Hydrogels for Osteochondral Defect Repair.

December 2024

Department of Biomaterials, Faculty of Dental Science, Kyushu University, 3-1-1 Maidashi, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka 812-8582, Japan.

Repairing cartilage tissue is a serious global challenge. Herein, we focus on wood skeletal structures that are highly porous for cell penetration yet have load-bearing strength, and aim to synthesize wood-derived hydrogels with the ability to regenerate cartilage tissues. The hydrogels were synthesized by wood delignification and the subsequent intercalation of citric acid (CA), which is involved in tricarboxylic acid cycles and essential for energy production, and -acetylglucosamine (NAG), which is a cartilage glycosaminoglycan, among cellulose microfibrils.

Background: Allo-HSCT is a curative therapy for patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). The high incidence of transplant-related complications is becoming an obstacle to safe and effective unrelated donor (URD) transplantation.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we reported the survival outcomes and complications of transplantation in thalassemia patients using a novel regimen consisting of pre-transplantation immunosuppression (PTIS) and modified myeloablative conditioning based on intravenous busulfan, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and rabbit anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin.

This single-center retrospective study was designed to evaluate the use of basiliximab as an alternative rescue maintenance immunosuppression in situations where standard maintenance immunosuppression is not tolerated after a pancreas transplant. All pancreas transplants performed between January 11, 2006, and January 6, 2022, were reviewed. All recipients received rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) induction with tacrolimus + sirolimus maintenance for simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) and additional low-dose mycophenolic acid for pancreas transplant alone (PTA).
