After injection of microspheres into both renal arteries of rats, an irreversible shock syndrome develops, resulting in death within 4-12 h. Ligation of both renal pedicles after injection of microspheres prevents the shock. It is presumed that kininogenases released from the kidneys participate in the pathogenesis of the shock syndrome.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of central vision loss in the elderly population. Bevacizumab, a full-length humanized monoclonal anti-VEGF antibody, is commonly used off-label drug to treat AMD. However, the dosing regimen of bevacizumab and other anti-VEGF antibodies requires monthly intravitreal injections followed by regular intravitreal injections at 4-16-week intervals.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a frequent chronic illness in orthopedics that poses a major hazard to patient health. cell therapy is emerging as a therapeutic option, but its efficacy is influenced by both the inflammatory milieu and the amount of stem cells, limiting its use. In this study, we designed a novel injectable porous microsphere (PM) based on microfluidic technology that can support mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy by combining polylactic-glycolic acid copolymer, kartogenin, polydopamine, stromal cell-derived factor-1, and copper-doped bioactive glass (CuBG).

Aim: This study intended to compare the radiation dose estimates to target and nontarget liver compartments from 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT and 90Y-PET/MR scans in liver tumors treated by 90Y-glass microspheres.
Material And Methods: Dose estimation was performed for twenty-three eligible patients (13M, 10F) after 99mTc-MAA simulation using SPECT/CT imaging, and over 90Y-PET/MR images after 90Y-microsphere therapy. Simplicit90Y™ software was used for voxel-based dosimetry over the liver parenchyma.

Introduction: Arterial vascular occlusion is a rare complication of dermal filler injection. This case report describes the successful use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a patient with vascular occlusion after a permanent dermal filler was injected.
Case Report: A 51-year-old woman underwent an injection of non-resorbable polymethylmethacrylate microspheres into her nasolabial folds.

Immunocompromised populations, including cancer patients, elderly individuals, and those with chronic diseases, are the primary targets of superbugs. Traditional vaccines are less effective due to insufficient or impaired immune cells. Inspired by the "vanguard" effect of neutrophils (NE) during natural infection, this project leverages the ability of NE to initiate the NETosis program to recruit monocytes and DC cells, designing vaccines that can rapidly recruit immune cells and enhance the immune response.
