Compromised skin integrity can result in pain, hinder daily activities, and elevate the risk of infections. Clinically, dressings are the conventional treatment for skin injuries. However, these often necessitate frequent replacements and may exacerbate wound trauma during removal. Therefore, there is growing interest in developing innovative dressings such as hydrogels, which are celebrated for their softness, adaptability, permeability, and capacity to sustain a moist wound environment. Guar gum, a galactomannan polysaccharide extensively utilized in the food and biomedical sectors, forms highly viscous, biocompatible hydrogels that are promising for medical applications including capsules and wound dressings. Nonetheless, the mechanical strength and antimicrobial properties of guar gum hydrogels require enhancements for optimal medical efficacy.ObjectiveThis study explores the fortification of guar gum (GG) hydrogels with tannic acid (TA) and citric acid (CA), which are known for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, to develop injectable, antimicrobial hydrogel dressings.MethodsEmploying a one-pot synthesis method, this research aimed to create dressings for treating skin injuries in murine models.

This work compared the differences in sensitivity (<i>Sen</i>), specificity (<i>Spe</i>), accuracy (Acc), and area under the curve (AUC) values among these methods and explored the optimal diagnostic strategy.MethodsA total of 120 patients with CC confirmed by pathological biopsy and 30 individuals suspected of CC but without detected tumors (as controls) were selected. All subjects underwent MSCT, MRI, and combined MSCT + MRI examinations. Statistical analyses of <i>Sen</i>, <i>Spe</i>, <i>Acc</i>, and AUC values were performed.ResultsIn the T1-T2 stage, MSCT had a <i>Sen</i> of 85.2%, <i>Acc</i> of 86.8%, and an AUC value of 0.878; MRI had a <i>Spe</i> of 91.0%, <i>Sen</i> of 81.6%, and an AUC value of 0.865; the combined MSCT + MRI examination had a <i>Sen</i> of 90.6% and an AUC of 0.903. In the T3 stage, MRI had a significantly higher <i>Sen</i> (91.7%) than MSCT (80.0%), with an AUC of 0.887, while the combined MSCT + MRI examination had a <i>Sen</i> of 98.3% and an AUC of 0.942. In the T4 stage, the combined MSCT + MRI examination performed the best, with a <i>Sen</i> of 100% and an AUC of 0.933, and compared with MSCT or MRI alone, the differences were statistically significant (<i>P </i>< 0.05).ConclusionMSCT and MRI each have their own advantages in the diagnosis of different stages of CC. MSCT is suitable for initial screening in the T1-T2 stage, while MRI is more effective in assessing tumor invasiveness in the T3 and higher stages. The combined MSCT + MRI examination can provide more comprehensive diagnostic information, especially in the T4 stage, where it shows the highest <i>Sen</i> and <i>Acc</i>.

The porous Ti and PEEK fusion cages were evaluated under physiological conditions to investigate their mechanical properties.ResultsThe volume of the porous fusion cage was reduced by 52.57%, and the stress was increased by 242.76% and 252.46% compared with the Ti and PEEK fusion cage; the modulus of elasticity of the porous fusion cage was reduced by 76.85%, and the strain was increased by 131.40%∼686.51% compared with the Ti cage; the porous fusion cage increased L3 cortical bone stress by 13.36% and 13.52% and cancellous bone by 82.93% and 76.72%, respectively, compared with the original interbody fusion cages.ConclusionThe porous interbody fusion cage has a much more lightweight design which facilitates growth of bone tissue.

Compared to other treatment modalities, RFA has a higher local tumor recurrence rate due to incomplete ablation. On the other hand, to ensure complete tumor removal, multiple ablations may be necessary, but this can lead to excessive thermal damage. Therefore, improving the precision of the ablation margin control is crucial.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate an algorithm-controlled ablation mode that can precisely control the tumor treatment margins. This mode uses temperature and impedance as feedback parameters to adaptively adjust the RF power output, ensuring both effective tumor ablation and enhanced safety.MethodsThe study conducted finite element analyses and ex-vivo bovine liver experiments comparing traditional constant power ablation and the algorithm-controlled ablation mode. Simulations primarily analyzed the temperature changes and ablation area in biological tissue, assessing the effectiveness of the two ablation modes. In the ex-vivo bovine liver experiments, temperature and impedance were monitored in real-time to validate the feasibility of the algorithmic ablation mode.ResultsThe findings indicate that the algorithm-controlled ablation mode effectively controls the rise in tissue impedance, preventing carbonization and charring.
