ars that Litigation Response Syndrome can extend to some members of the community who were not directly involved in litigation and compensation processes.This paper investigates how Latinx nurses resisted the racialization of medical un-deservingness against co-ethnic immigrants in everyday clinical encounters. Drawing on 26 in-depth interviews and dialoguing with the literature on minority professionals, we find that, as a form of racialized equity work, Latinx nurses produced certain symbolic resources, specifically the interactional signals to counteract Latinx patients' internalization of un-deservingness and other medical staff's open hostility towards these "undeserving illegals." Latinx nurses hybridized neoliberal norms (self-sufficiency and responsibility) and social justice values (including healthcare as a universal right and compassion for members of the community) they emphasized Latinx immigrants' efforts at "becoming" self-sufficient and clinically responsible, debunked the relevance of citizenship to a right to healthcare, and highlighted their communal bonds with co-ethnic patients. Meanwhile, accentuating these communal bonds revealed hefty loads of previously self-censored healthcare needs among Latinx patients, which compelled Latinx nurses to reassert some professional boundaries. Whereas some Latinx nurses were able to engage in "moralized boundary-drawing," others experienced setting professional boundaries as "demoralizing boundary-drawing," which resulted in burnout, disillusionment, or internalized racism. Our findings indicate that the path to de-racializing medical deservingness needs to be multi-tiered. Latinx nurses' racialized equity work of generating symbolic resources for Latinx immigrants is only sustainable if supported by non-Latinx colleagues' cross-ethnic equity work. Furthermore, everyday resistance in clinical encounters is necessarily incomplete unless state-level policy initiatives transform the currency of symbolic capital for medical deservingness.Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) is a promising approach for tumor treatment because of the noninvasion, and future would be perfect while it activates systemic immune responses through deep penetration to effectively avoid tumor recurrence. Resiquimod cost Here, a multifunctional nanosonosensitizer system (FA-MnPs) is designed by encapsulating manganese-protoporphyrin (MnP) into folate-liposomes. The nanoparticles of FA-MnPs not only exhibit excellent depth-responsive SDT but also simultaneously activate SDT-mediated immune response. Under US irradiation, FA-MnPs show the high acoustic intensity in mimic tissue up to 8 cm depth and generate amount of singlet oxygen (1O2). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that metal coordination in MnP has enhanced the US response ability. The good depth-responsed SDT of FA-MnPs efficiently suppresses the growth of not only the superficial tumors but also the deep lesion in the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) mice model. Importantly, FA-MnPs-induced SDT further re-polarizes immunosuppressive M2 macrophages to antitumor M1 macrophages, and elicits immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate dendritic cells, T lymphocytes, and natural killercells (NK), which consequently trigger the antitumor immune, contributing to the tumor growth inhibition. This study put forward an idea for curing deep-seated and metastatic tumors through noninvasively depth-irradiated immunogenic SDT by reasonably designing multifunctional sonosensitizers.Traditional bone fixation devices made from inert metal alloys provide structural strength for bone repair but are limited in their ability to actively promote bone healing. Although several naturally derived bioactive materials have been developed to promote ossification in bone defects, it is difficult to translate small-scale benchtop fabrication of these materials to high-output manufacturing. Standard industrial molding processes, such as injection and compression molding, have typically been limited to use with synthetic polymers since most biopolymers cannot withstand the harsh processing conditions involved in these techniques. Here we demonstrate injection and compression molding of a bioceramic composite comprised of hydroxyapatite (HA) and silk fibroin (SF) from Bombyx mori silkworm cocoons. Both the molding behavior of the HA-SF slurry and final scaffold mechanics can be controlled by modulating SF protein molecular weight, SF content, and powder-to-liquid ratio. HA-SF composites with up to 20 weight percent SF were successfully molded into stable three-dimensional structures using high pressure molding techniques. The unique durability of silk fibroin enables application of common molding techniques to fabricate composite silk-ceramic scaffolds. This work demonstrates the potential to move bone tissue engineering one step closer to large-scale manufacturing of natural protein-based resorbable bone grafts and fixation devices.A variety of therapies have been developed and used for the treatment of colon cancer, however, the high mortality rate remains high and more effective strategies are still in urgent needs. In this study, an immunotherapy approach that is composed of innate immune activator Astragaloside III (As) and the photodynamic therapy (PDT) reagent chlorine e6 (Ce6) ((As + Ce6)@MSNs-PEG), was developed for colon cancer treatment. We showed that (As + Ce6)@MSNs-PEG could effectively activate NK cells and inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells in vitro. It could also effectively reach tumor sites, induce infiltration of immune cells into the tumor, and enhance the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells and CD8+ T cells in vivo. Without obvious side effects, (As + Ce6)@MSNs-PEG treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice. Further results revealed that treatment of (As + Ce6)@MSNs-PEG led to enhanced IFN secretion by immune cells and increased T-box transcription factor (T-bet), which is highly expressed by T cells. Therefore, (As + Ce6)@MSNs-PEG may serve as an effective and safe platform for combinatory use with nano-herb medicine and PDT to provide a new therapy for colon cancer treatment.
