ely and effectively dissipate energy, especially after fast and high-amplitude external loads. Our study provides knowledge of bone mechanics in relation to pathologies deriving from dehydration or traumas. Moreover, these findings show the potential for being used in designing new bioinspired materials not limited to tissue engineering applications, in which passive mechanisms for dissipating energy can prevent structural failures.The in vivo delivery of nanomedicine is severely hampered by the limited enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) in tumors. Aiming at overcoming this limitation and achieving high anti-tumor effect of chemotherapeutics, we specially addressed an available strategy from a viewpoint of increasing the drug loading of nano-carriers. Here, we constructed a novel pH-responsive polymersome based on the drug-driven self-assembly of amphiphilic polyphosphazenes PAP containing the ortho ester group ABD and mPEG2000. Due to the non-covalent attractive forces between PAP and doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl), DOX·HCl can induce the self-assembly of PAP via embedding itself in the lamella to form vesicles and the subsequent location in the center aqueous chamber of the resultant nano-vesicles, which resulted in the high drug loading content of 35.77 wt%. In addition, with the incorporation of cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CholHS), the premature leakage of DOX·HCl was significantly inhibited under physiological conditions. Meanwhile, the pH-sensitive drug release occurred at pH 5.5 by the advantage of the pH-sensitive biodegradation of ABD in PAP. Consequently, this CholHS-incorporated DOX·HCl-driven PAP vesicle achieved excellent anti-tumor effect with tumor growth inhibition up to 82.4% in S180 tumor-bearing mice. Taken together, our newly developed drug-driven vesicles may promote the development of efficient drug delivery systems for application in cancer therapy.We present a handheld liquid extraction pen (LEP) combined with a self-sustaining electrospray ionization platform for ambient mass spectrometry within a laboratory-independent workspace. The LEP enables direct sampling from various surfaces and textures, independent of sample shape without precise sample positioning or dedicated sample preparation. The combination of liquid extraction of analytes through the pen and electrospray ionization (ESI) opens a broad field of applications. Qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis is presented for pesticides, plasticizers and drugs which were analyzed from representative consumer goods, such as fruits, toys and pills. Food authentication via metabolomic fingerprinting and multivariate statistics is demonstrated for the analysis of fish fillets and coffee. The LEP source uses a rechargeable battery to power a compressor. Ambient air is used for solvent nebulization in ESI. Through a pressure pump with integrated solvent reservoir, a solvent flow through the LEP and ESI source is generated. Measurement times of more than three hours are possible. The ion source is adaptable to any kind of mass spectrometer equipped with an atmospheric pressure interface. Measurements were performed on orbital trapping instruments and on a miniature mass spectrometer. Coupled to the miniaturized mass spectrometer, the completely portable LEP-MS instrument has dimensions of 48.4 × 27.0 × 18.0 cm (l × w × h).Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) related staphylococcal infection is one of the most common types of hospital-acquired infections, which requires selective and effective treatment in clinical practice. Considering gelatinase as a characteristic feature of S. aureus, gelatinase-responsive release of the antibiotic reagent thereby can target the pathogenic S. aureus while sparing beneficial bacteria in the microflora. In this work, we design a hybrid antibacterial photodynamic peptide (APP, Ce6-GKRWWKWWRRPLGVRGC) based on the polycationic antimicrobial peptide GKRWWKWWRR by introducing a photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) at the N-terminus, a cysteine residue at the C-terminus, and a gelatinase cleavage site (PLGVRG) inserted between the C-terminal cysteine and the polycationic peptide. This multi-motif peptide assembles with gold nanoclusters (AuNc) via Au-thiol bonding and affords a gelatinase-responsive antibacterial photodynamic nanocomposite (GRAPN). In vitro results show that the gelatinase secreted by S. aureus can cleave and release APP from AuNc, thereby resulting in preferential killing of S. aureus over E. IM156 order coli. In a mouse model of staphylococcal skin wound infection, by integrating gelatinase-responsive drug release and the synergistic effect of a photodynamic agent and APP, GRAPN exhibits a marked photodynamic antibacterial activity, effectively eradicates S. aureus infection, and promotes rapid healing of the infected wounds.

We conducted a systematic review/meta-analysis to evaluate noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) efficacy to alleviate pain and improve disability in low back pain (LBP).

A systematic literature search was performed by a librarian in MEDLINE, Embase, EBM Reviews, CINAHL, and Web of Science databases (last search January 14, 2021). Data were pooled by the number of sessions and follow-up periods. Independent reviewers performed screening, data extraction, and risk of bias. Pain reduction and disability were used as outcomes.

Twelve articles were included in the qualitative synthesis and 8 in the meta-analysis. A single session of NIBS reduced pain compared with sham (standardized mean difference -0.47; P<0.001; very low-quality evidence). Repeated sessions of NIBS did not impact pain at short-term (mean difference [MD] -0.31; P=0.23) or midterm (MD -0.56; P=0.33; moderate quality evidence). Combining NIBS with cointerventions did not influence pain (MD -0.31; P=0.30; moderate quality evidence). NIBS diS techniques or innovative parameters are required to determine their potential to improve pain and disability in chronic LBP.

Prolonged emergency department length of stay in trauma patients is associated with increased hospital length of stay and inhospital mortality. This problem is compounded in pediatric patients, as injured children have less physiologic reserve and may exhibit only subtle warning signs before decompensation.

To determine the impact of deploying pediatric rapid response nurses to full trauma activations for patients transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit on emergency department length of stay.

This is a before-and-after analysis of a quality improvement initiative deploying pediatric rapid response nurses to full trauma activations. Trauma registry data collected from January 2016 to August 2020 were statistically analyzed. Demographic and outcome variables were assessed by unpaired t test and χ2 analysis.

A total of 94 patients met inclusion criteria as full activations admitted to the intensive care unit during the study period. The preimplementation group (n = 60) was 88% (n = 53) male, with a median age of 6.
