Bloodstream infection and occlusion of central venous catheters in children

, 2018
One in ten children with a central venous catheter (CVC) develops a central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI),1 which is a life-threatening complication and harmful distraction from time-sensitive treatment. However, across CVC types (figure)

ROS‐Responsive Nanoparticle Delivery of Dexmedetomidine Protects the Gut Vascular Barrier After Intestinal Ischemia/Reperfusion via the HDAC‐H3K27ac‐TCF4 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A low dose of dexmedetomidine, delivered by ROS‐responsive nanoparticles, preferentially accumulates in the ischemic intestine and restores gut vascular barrier integrity after ischemia/reperfusion injury. This nanoparticle‐based strategy prevents bacterial translocation and liver damage without cardiorespiratory side effects, working through HDAC ...

Smartphone‐Guided Visible Light Modulation of RSNOs for Antimicrobial Activity via Controlled Nitric Oxide Release

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A light‐activated catheter insert combines antimicrobial blue light with nitric oxide release to generate complementary oxidative and nitrosative stress, producing potent broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity. The approach achieves greater than 4‐log reductions in bacterial and fungal viability and significantly reduces Staphylococcus aureus ...
