A Dual‐Layer Hydrogel Barrier Integrating Bio‐Adhesive and Anti‐Adhesive Properties Prevents Postoperative Abdominal Adhesions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A new dual‐layer hydrogel barrier for preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions is developed. The inner layer, consisting of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and thioctic acid (TA), enhanced adhesion to moist tissues. The outer layer combines zwitterionic, thermoresponsive hyaluronic acid with anti‐inflammatory epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and forms a ...

Immunomodulatory fibrous hyaluronic acid‐Fmoc‐diphenylalanine‐based hydrogel induces bone regeneration

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 200-219, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim To investigate the potential of an ultrashort aromatic peptide hydrogelator integrated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to serve as a scaffold for bone regeneration. Materials and Methods Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl‐diphenylalanine (FmocFF)/HA hydrogel was prepared and characterized using microscopy and rheology.

Assessment and Management of Hypertension among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]

, 2019
Approximately 7%-10% of patients with ESKD worldwide undergo peritoneal dialysis (PD) as kidney replacement therapy. The continuous nature of this dialytic modality and the absence of acute shifts in pressure and volume parameters is an important ...

Functional Polarization of Liver Macrophages by Glyco Gold Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophages play a critical role in several pathophysiological diseases by being involved in the activation of adaptive and innate immune responses. The repolarization of macrophages using gold nanoparticles functionalized with glycans for a more selective targeting toward a restorative phenotype leads to an amelioration of the events.

Effect of Peritoneal Dialysis on Weight Change in Pediatric Patients [PDF]

, 2016
Obesity is associated with lower transplantation rate and higher mortality in pediatric end stage renal disease patients. Glucose-based peritoneal dialysis is the preferred method of dialysis for these patients, a therapy that can cause systemic glucose

Targeted Delivery of α‐ketoglutarate to Macrophages in Bone: A Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Improving Fracture Healing in Type 2 Diabetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that glutaminolysis in macrophages is inhibited under type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) conditions, which impedes fracture healing by reducing bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) production through increased cytosine methylation on the promoter.

The efficacy of managing fluid overload in chronic peritoneal dialysis patients by a structured nurse-led intervention protocol

BMC Nephrology, 2019
Background Extracellular volume overload is a common problem in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and is associated with excessive mortality. We determine the effectiveness of treating PD patients with extracellular volume overload by a structured nurse ...

Serum irisin levels correlated to peritoneal dialysis adequacy in nondiabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Irisin is a recently discovered myokine thought to be involved in multiple metabolism abnormalities in most dialysis patients. However, the myokine has not been thoroughly studied in peritoneal dialysis.

Peritoneal Dialysis–Associated Peritonitis [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019
Peritonitis is a common and severe complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Detailed recommendations on the prevention and treatment of PD-associated peritonitis have been published by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD), but there is a substantial variation in clinical practice among dialysis units.

Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc Ratio in Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients [PDF]

, 2016
WOS: 000393293000010OBJECTIVE: Sudden cardiac death and risk of arrhythmia are higher in patients with ESRD. Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc are novel and more reliable indexes of ventricular arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death than QTc.
