Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

The First Year of Remission: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 12-Month Diabetic Foot Ulcer Recurrence

Diabetology
Background: Preventing diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) recurrence after healing is a major challenge in the remission phase. In this context, remission is not synonymous with healed; it refers to a confirmed post-healing state in which the ulcer is closed, but

A comparative study between limb-salvage and amputation for treating osteosarcoma

Journal of Bone Oncology, 2016
Purpose: Osteosarcoma is an aggressive malignant neoplasm, and conflicting findings have been reported on the survival and function recovery in osteosarcoma patients experiencing limb salvage or amputation.

Pathogenic Variants in Fucokinase Cause a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation [PDF]

, 2018
FUK encodes fucokinase, the only enzyme capable of converting L-fucose to fucose-1-phosphate, which will ultimately be used for synthesizing GDP-fucose, the donor substrate for all fucosyltransferases.

Targeted H2S Delivery System Attenuates Blood‐Spinal Cord Barrier Disruption after Spinal Cord Injury by Reshaping the Ferritinophagy Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The αvβ3‐mediated SPRC@MPDA‐RGD targets broken endothelial cells and controllably releases SPRC. CSE is then activated to produce endogenous H2S, which inhibits ferritinophagy. In brief, H2S inhibits autophagy by activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, thereby suppressing the ferroptosis process mediated by NCOA4, and ultimately promoting the ...

Myeloid p38 activation maintains macrophage–liver crosstalk and BAT thermogenesis through IL‐12–FGF21 axis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Physiological activation of myeloid p38 controls macrophage IL‐12 production and crosstalk to the liver by modulating hepatic FGF21, and subsequently, brown adipose tissue thermogenesis during obesity Abstract Obesity features excessive fat accumulation in several body tissues and induces a state of chronic low‐grade inflammation that contributes to ...

A Photothermal Transducer Regulates Transmembrane Calcium Flow for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon NIR irradiation at 808 nm, the activity of TRPV4 was inhibited by M2M@BPSC, which led to reduced calcium influx, mitochondrial protection, and, importantly, the transcriptional activation of the STAT6‐EGR2 pathway. The improved macrophage function indirectly readjusts the equilibrium between C‐ECM and F‐ECM to reconstruct a suitable ...

Randomized preclinical study of machine perfusion in vascularized composite allografts

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
This study was designed to identify the optimum machine perfusion parameters for preservation of limbs before transplantation, and determine whether this was better than cold storage. Normothermic machine perfusion at a pressure of 70 mmHg (NMP‐70) provided superior preservation to cold storage after transplantation.

Total femur resection and endoprosthesis reconstruction utilizing the dual incision surgical approach in patients with femur bone sarcoma: A case series

Journal of Orthopaedic Reports
Preserving limb function following the excision of tumors involving the entire femur poses a significant therapeutic challenge. Bone sarcomas affecting nearly the entire femur often require radical excision, entailing the removal of the entire femur bone

Limb salvage versus amputation in patients with osteosarcoma of the extremities: an update in the modern era using the National Cancer Database

BMC Cancer, 2020
Background Historically, amputation was the primary surgical treatment for osteosarcoma of the extremities; however, with advancements in surgical techniques and chemotherapies limb salvage has replaced amputation as the dominant treatment paradigm. This
