Large vein allografts are suitable for middle hepatic (MHV) reconstruction, but their supply is often limited. Although polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts unlimitedly available, long-term patency relatively poor. We intended to enhance the clinical usability of PTFE MHV reconstruction during living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Two sequential studies were performed. First, implanted as inferior vena cava replacements into dogs. Second, in a 1-year prospective trial 262 adults...
Cultured meat is artificial produced via the mass culture of cells without slaughtering livestock. In production process cultured meat, proliferation for preparing abundant a strenuous and time-consuming procedure requiring expensive excess serum. Herein, C-phycocyanin (C-PC) extracted from blue algae was selected as substitute animal-derived serum polysaccharide film-based platform developed to effectively deliver C-PC myoblast while reducing cost cell medium. The has sophisticated...
Pancreatic β cell therapy for type 1 diabetes is limited by low survival rate owing to physical stress and aggressive host immune response. In this study, we demonstrate a multilayer hydrogel nanofilm caging strategy capable of protecting cells from high shear reducing response interfering cell-cell interaction. Hydrogel fabricated monophenol-modified glycol chitosan hyaluronic acid that cross-link each other form nanothin film on the surface via tyrosinase-mediated reactions. Furthermore,...
Zwitterionic polymers have extraordinary properties, that is, significant hydration and the so-called antipolyelectrolyte effect, which make them suitable for biomedical applications. The induces an antifouling this has been investigated significantly. effect refers to ion-responsive behavior of particular swell hydrate considerably in physiological solutions. This actuation begins attract attention achieve vivo is challenging general polyelectrolytes. In study, we established sophisticated...
For cultured meat to effectively replace traditional meat, it is essential develop scaffolds that replicate key attributes of real such as taste, nutrition, flavor, and texture. However, one the significant challenges in replicating characteristics with lies considerable gap between stiffness preferred by cells textural properties desired humans. To address this issue, we focused on microscale environment conducive cell growth macro-scale favored This led development adaptive...
Abstract Hepatic endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is implicated in the development of steatosis and its progression to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The ER liver can sustain metabolic function by activating defense mechanisms that delay or prevent fatty disease (NAFLD). However, precise which response protects against NAFLD remain largely unknown. Recently, activin E has been linked diseases such as insulin resistance NAFLD. physiological conditions regulatory driving hepatic Inhbe...
Although anatomical liver resection is considered more effective in preventing complications and recurrence hepatocellular carcinoma, its efficacy has yet to be clearly defined colorectal cancer metastasis (CLM). From January 2000 December 2023, 145 patients underwent resections for CLM, divided into anatomic non-anatomic cohorts. The dataset included demographic details, tumor size, number distribution of metastases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, primary location stage, type surgery,...
Abstract The gut microbiota plays an essential role in regulating overall physiology, including metabolism and neurological immune functions. Therefore, their dysregulation is closely associated with metabolic disorders, such as obesity diabetes, well other pathological conditions, inflammatory bowel diseases, cancer, disorders. Probiotics are commonly used to maintain a healthy microbiome, but oral delivery inefficient mainly due poor stability the harsh gastrointestinal (GI) environment....
Water-based electrolytes provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective energy storage solutions; however, their application in aqueous lithium-ion batteries is hindered by low density short cycling life due to the limited electrochemical stability window. While high lithium salt concentrations can mitigate some of these issues, they often lead increased solvent viscosity higher costs, limiting commercialization. In this study, a boron-stabilized anisotropic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel...
Abstract The kinetic body motions have guided the core‐shell fabrics of wearable bioelectronics to be elastoplastic. However, polymeric electrodes follow trade‐off relationship between toughness and stretchability. To this end, stress dissipation encoded silk fibroin electrode is proposed as core bioelectronics. Significantly, high degree intrinsic realized via an amino acid crosslink. canonical phenolic (i.e., tyrosine) engineered bridge secondary structures. A sufficient crosslink network...
Demand for a new protein source to replace meat is increasing solve various issues such as limited resources and food shortages. Diverse sources are being developed, but alternative proteins plants or insects need improve people's perceptions organoleptic properties. Therefore, cell-based research intensively conducted, most studies aimed at scale-up cost-down via the of scaffolds culture media. Here, we proposed by cell powder (CPM), which has high content meaty flavor. The was manufactured...
Because revascularization of the inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) is a major component liver graft (RLG) reconstruction, we assessed surgical techniques and clinical outcomes IRHV reconstruction so that could formulate practical guidelines for standardized procedures. From July 2004 to February 2010, performed separate reconstructions in 487 1142 adult RLG recipients (42.7%). These included 364 patients with natural single 123 multiple IRHVs; latter group, IRHVs were unified by venoplasty,...
Guided bone regeneration aided by the application of occlusive membranes is a promising therapy for diverse inflammatory periodontal diseases. Symbiosis, homeostasis between host microbiome and cells, occurs in oral environment under normal, but not pathologic, conditions. Here, we develop symbiotically integrating membrane mimicking tooth enamel growth or multiple nucleation biomineralization processes. We perform human saliva vivo canine experiments to confirm that induces symbiotic...
We demonstrate stretchable organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) on a polyimide stiff-island/elastomer substrate. All processes are performed entirely at elastomer-compatible temperatures. confirm the basic properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blended film elastomer substrate and evaluate characteristics fabricated OTFTs. A field-effect mobility 3.4 × 10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1, an Ion/Ioff ratio greater than 103, subthreshold...
