Interface Wettability Transition‐Driven Drug Release and Dual‐Phase Functionalization in Implant Abutment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A temporally controlled drug release coating is developed for abutments using a superhydrophobic coating self‐assembled on mesoporous silica. This surface provides sequential functionality: initial contamination resistance through non‐wetting, followed by controlled drug release via wettability transition.

Photoresponsive Rotaxanes Switch Lipid Bilayer Neuromorphic Behavior with Light

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A rotaxane consisting of a macrocycle ring with two azobenzene units mechanically interlocked onto an amphiphilic axle was incorporated into droplet interface bilayers (DIBs). Photoswitching between the azobenzene configurations on the ring resulted in cycling between memristive and memcapacitive behaviors in lipid bilayers, enabling programmable ...

Impact of Prophylactic Cefepime on Surgical Site Infection and Severe Morbidity in Patients Who Underwent Pancreaticoduodenectomy With Preoperative Biliary Drainage

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although prophylactic broad‐spectrum antibiotics can reduce postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), the optimal regimen remains uncertain. This study evaluated the impact of prophylactic cefepime (CFPM) on surgical site infection (SSI) and severe morbidity after PD with preoperative biliary drainage.

The Wonderfully Made Design of the Skin and Its Microbiome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many microbes live in a mutualistic relationship with the human body, make up the human microbiome, and play a role in our health by modulating the immune system.

Altered Nasal Microbiota in Sinonasal Tumors: A Comparative Analysis of Malignant and Benign Sinonasal Tumors

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although shifts in nasal microbiota have been well‐documented in inflammatory upper airway conditions, microbiota tumor‐associated alterations remain uncharacterized. This study is the first to compare sinonasal microbiota profiles of patients with malignant tumors (MT), benign tumors (BT), and controls, offering insights into tumor‐

Aggregation‐State Dynamics Drive Double Cooperativity Between Antimicrobial Peptides LL‐37 and HNP1

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The double cooperative effect between LL‐37 and HNP1 arises from dynamic changes in their aggregation state. These LL‐37/HNP1 assemblies reorganize in a target‐dependent manner, suppressing activity toward mammalian cells while enabling potent antibacterial action.

Biofilm Exoproteins From Staphylococcus Species Impede Re‐Epithelialization of Nasal Epithelial Cells During Wound Healing and Cease Ciliary Beat Frequency

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disease with many different contributing factors, including bacterial infection. CRS patients are typically managed with medical therapies; however, these treatments frequently fail, leaving surgery as the only viable option.
