Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Layer-by-layer assembly of colloidal particles deposited onto the polymer-grafted elastic substrate [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
We demonstrate a novel route of spatially organizing the colloid arrangements on the polymer-grafted substrate by use of self-consistent field and density functional theories. We find that grafting of polymers onto a substrate can effectively control spatial dispersions of deposited colloids as a result of the balance between colloidal settling force ...

Blessing and a curse of outpatient management of delayed graft function

World Journal of Transplantation, 2019
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a common complication occurring most often after deceased donor kidney transplant with several donor characteristics as well as immunologic factors that lead to its development post-transplant. These patients require dialysis and close kidney function monitoring until sufficient allograft function is achieved.

Bioprinting Perfusable and Vascularized Skeletal Muscle Flaps for the Treatment of Volumetric Muscle Loss

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) due to trauma or surgery, often leads to physical impairments. Traditional treatments rely on autologous flaps, limited by muscle availability often leading to donor site morbidity. This study presents multimodal bioprinting as an innovative approach for fabricating vascularized muscle flaps with 3D‐printed macrovessels ...

THE ROLE OF PROTOCOL BIOPSIES IN EARLY PERIOD AFTER KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2010
46 protocol graft biopsies with the subsequent histological examination were performed in 39 patients after kidney transplantation. In 20 patients with stable graft function acute subclinical rejection were revealed in 12 (60%) with the following steroid

Imine Crosslinked, Injectable, and Self‐Healing Fucoidan Hydrogel with Immunomodulatory Properties

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops an injectable fucoidan‐based hydrogel with tunable properties for tissue engineering. By oxidizing fucoidan (OFu) to introduce aldehydes, imine crosslinks are formed with amine‐containing polymers, enabling self‐healing, injectability, and long‐term stability (≥28 days). The OFu‐gelatin hydrogel demonstrated biocompatibility, immune‐

Donor's therapeutic hypothermia vs. normothermia in kidney transplantation: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Frontiers in Transplantation
IntroductionThe shortage of organs remains one of the most challenging global problems nowadays. Donor's therapeutic hypothermia was suggested to decrease kidney delayed graft function (DGF) when compared to normothermia in previous trials, but the role ...

Tri‐Layered Bioactive Cutaneous Scaffold with Integrated Bioactive Metal Organic Frameworks to Promote Full‐Thickness Infected Diabetic Wound Healing: Multifaceted Therapeutic Strategies

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The limitations of existing clinical treatments highlight the need for a more comprehensive strategy for addressing infected diabetic wounds. A tri‐layered scaffold is developed to deliver therapeutics loaded in CuBDC and ZIF‐8 MOFs that are tailored to the requirements of deep‐infected diabetic wounds.

Serum Cystatin C in Patients with Delayed Graft Function

Acta Medica Bulgarica, 2016
Despite recent studies showing that serum Cystatin C (CysC) is a better marker for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the ubiquitously used creatinine, the clinical utility of these findings remains to be evaluated.

Prolonged Delayed Renal Graft Function Secondary to Venous Hypertension

Transplantation Direct, 2017
. The case of a 39-year-old highly sensitized woman who underwent second renal transplantation after being on warfarin because of a history of frequent thromboses of her left femoral arteriovenous graft (AVG) is reported here. The patient received a flow
