    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the optimal surgical fusion approach for lumbar spondylolisthesis, to provide the latest and most reliable evidence for future clinical practice.
    Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Ovid-Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus databases was conducted from inception to September 1, 2023, to identify relevant records. Two independent reviewers performed the literature screening, data extraction, and assessment of study quality.
    Results: Fifteen randomized controlled trials involving 892 patients met the inclusion criteria. The network evidence plot showed that posterolateral fusion and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) were the most used fusion techniques. The network meta-analysis results revealed that minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) had a significantly greater improvement in the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) compared to endoscopic-TLIF, while PLIF had a significantly better fusion effect than posterolateral fusion. Furthermore, no statistically significant differences were observed between other fusion surgeries in terms of improving ODI, fusion rate, complications, or the improvement of visual analog scale-low back pain. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve results indicated that MIS-TLIF had the greatest potential for improving ODI, visual analog scale-low back pain, and complications, while PLIF had the greatest potential for increasing fusion rates. However, the existing selection bias, measurement bias, reporting bias, and publication bias may have reduced the reliability of the meta-analysis results.
    Conclusions: Among the various fusion surgeries for lumbar spondylolisthesis, MIS-TLIF appears to provide the greatest benefit to patients. However, more high-quality, large-scale studies are needed to further investigate the treatment efficacy of different fusion surgeries for lumbar spondylolisthesis.

    Abstract Background: Conventional pesticide formulations are often inefficient because of low biological uptake after spraying. Controlled release nanopesticides can release pesticides precisely in response to specific stimuli, thereby killing pests and pathogens using the least effective concentration. This study aims to develop nanocapsule-based photo-decomposable nanopesticides for efficient pesticide control.
    Results: The target nanopesticides were successfully fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly of the negative azobenzene-grafted hyaluronic acid (azo-HA) and positive polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), confirmed by UV-visible, dynamic light scattering, Zeta potential and transmission electron microscopy measurements. The particle size and Zeta potential of the fabricated nanocapsules were 220 nm and +46.1 mV, respectively, and the nanocapsules were found to remain stable for up to 30 days. The optimized drug loading and encapsulation ratio of imidacloprid (IMI) in IMI/azo-HA@polyDADMAC were 21.5% and 91.3%, respectively. Cumulative release of IMI from the nanopesticides increased from ~50% to ~95% upon UV light irradiation (365 nm). The half lethal concentration (LC
    Conclusion: The trans to cis transformation of the azo group in HA decomposed IMI/azo-HA@polyDADMAC nanopesticides upon UV irradiation, thus facilitating the release of IMI, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of pesticides required for efficient pesticide control. Our work demonstrated the great potential of light-responsive nanocapsules as a controlled release nanocarrier for efficient and eco-friendly pesticide control in sustainable agriculture. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract The stimuli-responsive degradation of coating layer on pesticide-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) can realize on-demand release of pesticides. Herein, we report the simultaneously coating of imidacloprid (IMI)-loaded MSNs with phase change materials (PCMs) and polydopamine (PDA) to realize NIR-triggered release of IMI. To balance good thermal stability and sensitive thermal responsiveness, myristyl alcohol (MA) was selected as optimal PCM for IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites. The successful preparation of IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites was confirmed by FT-IR, small angle XRD, SEM, TEM, TGA and BET. MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites exhibited concentration and irradiation power dependent stable photothermal conversion ability, with the maximum temperature increase of 23.3 ℃ (808 nm, 2 W/cm

    Abstract The stimuli-responsive degradation of coating layer on pesticide-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) can realize on-demand release of pesticides. Herein, we report the simultaneously coating of imidacloprid (IMI)-loaded MSNs with phase change materials (PCMs) and polydopamine (PDA) to realize NIR-triggered release of IMI. To balance good thermal stability and sensitive thermal responsiveness, myristyl alcohol (MA) was selected as optimal PCM for IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites. The successful preparation of IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites was confirmed by FT-IR, SAXRD, SEM, TEM, TGA and BET. MSNs@MA-PDA nanocomposites exhibited concentration and irradiation power dependent stable photothermal conversion ability, with the maximum temperature increase of 23.3℃ (808nm, 2W/cm², 300μg/mL). The drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of IMI were 30.1% and 43.0%, respectively. The cumulative release of IMI from IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA was increased by ~30% when the temperature was increased from 25℃ to 38℃. Meanwhile, initial burst release of IMI from MSNs was inhibited. Finally, in vivo insecticidal activity of IMI@MSNs@MA-PDA was evaluated on Aphis craccivora Koch. The LC₅₀ value was decreased from 5.01mg/L to 3.73mg/L, resulted from photothermal-boosted release of IMI. Our facile and effective method to prepare MSNs-based photothermal-responsive pesticide delivery system can be generalized to prepare other nanomaterials-based delivery systems for efficient and eco-friendly pesticide-control in agriculture.

    Abstract Dynamic emissive materials in aqueous media have received much attention owing to their ease of preparation, tunable luminescence and environmental friendliness. However, hydrophobic fluorophores usually suffer from aggregation-caused quenching in water. In this work, we constructed an artificial light-harvesting system by using a non-covalent aggregation-induced emission dimer as antenna and energy donor.

    Abstract The slow healing of diabetic wounds has seriously affected human health. Meanwhile, the open wounds are susceptible to bacterial infection. Clinical therapeutic methods such as antibiotic therapy, insulin treatment, and surgical debridement have made great achievements in the treatment of diabetic wounds. However, drug-resistant bacteria will develop after long-term use of antibiotics, resulting in decreased efficacy. To improve the therapeutic effect, increasing drug concentration is a common strategy in clinical practice, but it also brings serious side effects. In addition, hyperglycemia control or surgical debridement can easily bring negative effects to patients, such as hypoglycemia or damage of normal tissue. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel therapeutic strategies to effectively promote diabetic wound healing. In recent years, nanozyme-based diabetic wound therapeutic systems have received extensive attention because they possess the advantages of nanomaterials and natural enzymes. For example, nanozymes have the advantages of a small size and a high surface area to volume ratio, which can enhance the tissue penetration of nanozymes and increase the reactive active sites. Moreover, compared with natural enzymes, nanozymes have more stable catalytic activity, lower production cost, and stronger operability. In this review, we first reviewed the basic characteristics of diabetic wounds and then elaborated on the catalytic mechanism and action principle of different types of nanozymes in diabetic wounds from three aspects: controlling bacterial infection, controlling hyperglycemia, and relieving inflammation. Finally, the challenges, prospects and future implementation of nanozymes for diabetic wound healing are outlined.

    Abstract Pixel differences between classes with low contrast in medical image semantic segmentation tasks often lead to confusion in category classification, posing a typical challenge for recognition of small targets. To address this challenge, we propose a Contrastive Adaptive Augmented Semantic Segmentation Network with a differentiable pooling function. Firstly, an Adaptive Contrast Augmentation module is constructed to automatically extract local high-frequency information, thereby enhancing image details and accentuating the differences between classes. Subsequently, the Frequency-Efficient Channel Attention mechanism is designed to select useful features in the encoding phase, where multifrequency information is employed to extract channel features. One-dimensional convolutional cross-channel interactions are adopted to reduce model complexity. Finally, a differentiable approximation of max pooling is introduced in order to replace standard max pooling, strengthening the connectivity between neurons and reducing information loss caused by downsampling. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed method through several ablation experiments and comparison experiments under homogeneous conditions. The experimental results demonstrate that our method competes favorably with other state-of-the-art networks on five medical image datasets, including four public medical image datasets and one clinical image dataset. It can be effectively applied to medical image segmentation.

    Abstract Dual- or multi-modality combination therapy has become one of the most effective strategies to overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy, and the optimized ratio of the therapeutic agents working on the tumor greatly affects the therapeutic outcomes. However, the absence of a facile method to optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents in nanomedicine has, at least in part, impaired the clinical potential of combination therapy. Herein, a new cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7])-conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA) based nanomedicine was developed, in which both chlorin e6 (Ce6) and oxaliplatin (OX) were co-loaded non-covalently at an optimized ratio via facile host-guest complexation, for optimal, combined photodynamic therapy (PDT)/chemotherapy. To maximize the therapeutic efficacy, a mitochondrial respiration inhibitor, atovaquone (Ato), was also loaded into the nanomedicine to limit consumption of oxygen by the solid tumor, sparing oxygen for more efficient PDT. Additionally, HA on the surface of nanomedicine allowed targeted delivery to cancer cells with over-expressed CD44 receptors (such as CT26 cell lines). Thus, this supramolecular nanomedicine platform with an optimal ratio of photosensitizer and chemotherapeutic agent not only provides an important new tool for enhanced PDT/chemotherapy of solid tumors, but also offers a CB[7]-based host-guest complexation strategy to facilely optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents for multi-modality nanomedicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Chemotherapy remains the most common modality for cancer treatment in clinical practice. Combination therapy by co-delivery of two or more therapeutic agents has been recognized as one of the most effective strategies to improve therapeutic outcome of cancer treatment. However, the ratio of loaded drugs could not be facilely optimized, which may greatly affect the combination efficiency and overall therapeutic outcome. Herein, we developed a hyaluronic acid based supramolecular nanomedicine with facile method to optimize the ratio of two therapeutic agents for improved therapeutic outcome. This supramolecular nanomedicine not only provides an important new tool for enhanced photodynamic therapy/chemotherapy of solid tumors, but also offers insights in using macrocyclic molecule-based host-guest complexation to facilely optimize the ratio of therapeutic agents in multi-modality nanomedicine.

    Abstract The emergence and re-emergence of RNA virus outbreaks highlight the urgent need for the development of broad-spectrum antivirals. Polyamines are positively-charged small molecules required for the infectivity of a wide range of RNA viruses, therefore may become good antiviral targets. Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), a synthetic macrocyclic molecule, which can bind with amine-based organic compounds with high affinity, has been shown to regulate bioactive molecules through competitive binding. In this study, we tested the antiviral activity of CB[7] against diverse RNA viruses, including a panel of enteroviruses (i.e. human enterovirus A71, coxsackievirus A16, coxsackievirus B3, and echovirus 11), some flaviviruses (i.e. dengue virus and Zika virus), and an alphavirus representative Semliki forest virus. CB[7] can inhibit virus replications in a variety of cell lines, and its mechanism of action is through the competitive binding with polyamines. Our findings not only for the first time provide evidence that CB[7] can be a promising broad-spectrum antiviral agent, but more importantly, offer a novel therapeutic strategy to fight against RNA viruses by supramolecular sequestration of polyamines.
