Navigating an unpredictable supply: lived experiences of xylazine exposure among people who use drugs

open access: yesHarm Reduction Journal
Background As xylazine-adulterated opioids become more prevalent in the U.S., people who use drugs (PWUD) face growing risks from sedation, withdrawal, and wounds.

Bioadhesive‐Integrated 3D‐Printed Multilayer Scaffolds Secure a Mechanically‐Stable Osteoimmune Niche for Enhanced Bone Augmentation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A 3D‑printed multilayer adhesive scaffold, firmly anchored to bone defects by simple finger pressing, suppresses micromotion and secures mechanical stability of the osteogenic niche. This stabilization likely contributes to the enhanced bone augmentation by fostering a pro‑regenerative mechano‐immune profile—characterized by M2‑like macrophage ...

Evaluation of therapeutic effects of D‐limonene following orchiopexy in the rat model of cryptorchidism

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
D‐limonene supplementation enhances testicular recovery following orchiopexy in a rat model of bilateral cryptorchidism. Treatment with D‐limonene reduces oxidative stress (↓MDA, ↑SOD, ↑GPx, ↑TAC), downregulates pro‐apoptotic proteins (↓TNF‐α, ↓BAX, ↓Caspase‐3), and upregulates anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐2 expression.

Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...

Sappanwood extract modulates hepatic structure–function in hepatomegaly and hepcidin related iron regulatory pathways in a phenylhydrazine induced hemolytic anemia rat model relevant to thalassemia

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces hemolytic anemia characterized by increased erythrocyte destruction and ineffective erythropoiesis, leading to hepcidin suppression through disruption of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway. Reduced hepcidin levels enhance intestinal iron absorption and hepatic iron accumulation, leading to hepatic iron overload.

434 Xylazine quantitation in Puerto Rican drug users and cardiotoxic protein markers profile expression analysis

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Translational Science
Objectives/Goals: Our research addresses critical gaps by examining the prevalence, blood concentrations, and health implications of xylazine abuse, with a focus on its cardiotoxic effects. We aim to map the geographic distribution of xylazine use across

A modified D‐galactose‐induced aging rat model with low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone: Redox, functional, and skin outcomes

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Male Wistar rats were subjected to d‐galactose‐induced aging, with or without intermittent low‐dose intraperitoneal ozone administration, and evaluated over 8 weeks for redox status and physical performance, including physical health score, morbidity proportion, body weight, muscle strength, hair regrowth, and skin outcome.

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...
