Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts

Clinical outcomes of EGFR-TKI in advanced lung squamous cell carcinoma and EGFR-TKI remodel tumor immune microenvironment

Annals of Medicine
Background Clinical data is scarce in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), and the resistance mechanisms to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) is rarely studied. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of

Successful closure of chronic, nonhealing tubercular esophagobronchial fistula with an over‑the‑scope clip

Journal of Digestive Endoscopy, 2017
Esophagobronchial fistula is an uncommon complication of esophageal or mediastinal tuberculosis. A 35‑year‑old man, a known case of esophageal tuberculosis, who had received 9 months of antitubercular therapy (ATT) presented with persistent cough. He had

Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection of Seborrheic Keratosis-Like Lesion of the Esophagus: A New Entity?

Türk Patoloji Dergisi, 2020
Seborrheic keratosis, one of the most common lesions of the epidermis, is rarely seen on mucosal surfaces. We report a case of a distinctive epithelial neoplasm of the esophagus showing close resemblance to seborrheic keratosis that was resected with ...

Alcohol Consumption and Multiple Dysplastic Lesions Increase Risk of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Esophagus, Head, and Neck.

Gastroenterology, 2016
BACKGROUND & AIMS Some patients develop multiple squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) in the upper aerodigestive tract, attributed to field cancerization; alcohol consumption has been associated with this process.

Host‐Guest Inclusion Chemistry From Supramolecular Architecture Enabling Anti‐Biofouling Surfaces for Oesophagus Stents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A slippery coating with exceptional anti‐biofouling performance is developed using biocompatible materials for oesophagus stents. Host‐guest inclusion complex formation capabilities of FDA‐approved supramolecules, cyclodextrins are exploited, which significantly enhances the stability of the surface.

A Deployable 4D Printed, Mucoadhesive and Magnetically Guided Patch for Local Therapy of Gastric Cancer

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A new perspective for treatment of gastric cancer is proposed utilizing 4D printing to develop shape morphing, deployable, and magnetically guided local drug releasing patches. The deployed patches are envisioned to adhere at the tumor site to locally deliver high drug amounts.
