Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the abnormal proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes and changes in the joint synovium, including elevated reactive oxygen species, decreased pH, and reduced oxygen content. In this study, we synthesized a novel nanocomposite material, namely HA-PBA-TiO Janus nanocomposite, by in situ etching in prussian blue analogs doped with Co and Ni, followed by the growth of TiO nano-flowers and encapsulation in hyaluronic acid. When these janus nanoparticles diffused to the inflammatory sites of RA, they exhibited outstanding photocatalytic water-splitting ability under 660 nm laser irradiation, generating H and O.

  • This study focused on creating a clinical prediction model to identify patients at risk of Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) within 6 months after experiencing an acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
  • The researchers categorized 386 AIS patients into those who developed PSCI and those who remained cognitively normal, using logistic regression to uncover key predictors for the condition.
  • The resulting model showed strong predictive accuracy (AUC-ROC values of 0.862 for training and 0.806 for validation), but further improvements using data from multiple centers are needed for better reliability and use in clinical settings.
