Case Report: Treatment of a complex hand disfigurement injury by fully shaped reconstruction of a severed finger combined with ectopic banking.

One of the primary challenges in hand microsurgical reconstruction lies in addressing severe hand injuries, particularly those involving multiple finger amputations, as autologous replantation might not fully restore hand functionality. In such scenarios, fully shaped reconstruction of a severed finger combined with Ectopic banking could yield superior reconstructive outcomes and enhance the amputated limb's function. This case report presents a unique approach that combines ectopic replantation of an amputated finger with interphalangeal reconstruction methods to restore both the form and function of the hand.

Efficacy and safety of continuous passive motion and physical therapy in recovery from knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Continuous passive motion (CPM) is commonly used as a postoperative rehabilitation treatment, along with physical therapy, for postoperative knee rehabilitation. However, the comparison between the two in terms of efficacy in postoperative knee replacement recovery is unclear.

Purpose: To compare efficacy and safety of combined CPM versus physical therapy alone in postoperative rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty.

Finite element analysis of a customized coronoid prosthesis for traumatic coronoid deficiency.

Background: Traumatic coronoid deficiency with persistent elbow instability is a challenging condition. Autologous bone graft reconstruction is often associated with a range of additional clinical problems and the outcome is often unpredictable. The purpose of this study was to design a prosthetic device that can reconstruct coronoid deficiency of any height and to evaluate its mechanical properties using finite element analysis.

Perovskite-based photodetector for real-time and quantitative monitoring of sports motion.

Reliable monitoring the movement amplitude and dynamics during sports exercise is significant for improving training results and preventing training wound. Here, we present a printed perovskite-based photodetector for real-time and quantitative monitoring of sports motion. The ordered nucleation and growth of perovskite crystals are regulated by the 4-acetamidothiophenol (AMTP) at the interface, which promotes the size of perovskite crystals into the micrometer.

Combination of IDO inhibitors and platinum(IV) prodrugs reverses low immune responses to enhance cancer chemotherapy and immunotherapy for osteosarcoma.

In recent years, immune checkpoint blockades (ICBs) have made great progress in the treatment of cancer. However, most ICBs have not yet been observed to be satisfactory in the treatment of osteosarcoma. Herein, we designed composite nanoparticles (NP-Pt-IDOi) from a reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitive amphiphilic polymer (PHPM) with thiol-ketal bonds in the main chain to encapsulate a Pt(IV) prodrug (Pt(IV)-C12) and an indoleamine-(2/3)-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor (IDOi, NLG919).

All-printed point-of-care immunosensing biochip for one drop blood diagnostics.

Designing and preparing a fast and easy-to-use immunosensing biochip are of great significance for clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. In particular, sensitive, specific, and early detection of biomarkers in trace samples promotes the application of point-of-care testing (POCT). Here, we demonstrate an all-printed immunosensing biochip with the characteristics of hydrodynamic enrichment and photonic crystal-enhanced fluorescence.

Melatonin attenuates ER stress and mitochondrial damage in septic cardiomyopathy: A new mechanism involving BAP31 upregulation and MAPK-ERK pathway.

Septic cardiomyopathy is associated with mitochondrial damage and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction. However, the upstream mediator of mitochondrial injury and ER stress has not been identified and thus little drug is available to treat septic cardiomyopathy. Here, we explored the role of B-cell receptor-associated protein 31 (BAP31) in septic cardiomyopathy and figure out whether melatonin could attenuate sepsis-mediated myocardial depression via modulating BAP31.
