Dual‐Nanoparticle Engineered Hydrogel Reverses Bicellular Oxidative Stress to Accelerate Diabetic Fracture Healing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
CD105‐LNPs and PS‐LNPs can deliver α‐lipoic acid to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow‐derived macrophages, reversing high glucose‐induced oxidative stress while enhancing osteogenesis and M2 polarization. Integrating both nanoparticles into glucose‐responsive hyaluronic acid hydrogel forms DLNPs@HA hydrogel, which accelerates diabetic ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Cardiac surgery in the octogenarian

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1986
Seventy-six consecutive patients, aged 80 to 89 (mean 82), underwent cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass. Hypothermia (22 degrees C) and hyperkalemic cardioplegia were used in each. There were 35 men and 41 women. Thirteen patients (17%) were in New York Heart Association Functional Class III and 62 patients (81%) were in Class IV ...
