    Abstract Regeneration and functional recovery of the damaged nerve are challenging due to the need for effective therapeutic drugs, biomaterials, and approaches. The poor outcome of the treatment of nerve injury stems from the incomplete understanding of axonal biology and interactions between neurons and the surrounding environment, such as glial cells and extracellular matrix. Microfluidic devices, in combination with various injury techniques, have been applied to test biological hypotheses in nerve injury and nerve regeneration. The microfluidic devices provide multiple advantages over the in vitro cell culture on a petri dish and in vivo animal models because a specific part of the neuronal environment can be manipulated using physical and chemical interventions. In addition, single-cell behavior and interactions between neurons and glial cells can be visualized and quantified on microfluidic platforms. In this article, current in vitro nerve injury models on a chip that mimics in vivo axonal injuries and the regeneration process of axons are summarized. The microfluidic-based nerve injury models could enhance the understanding of the physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of nerve tissues and simultaneously serve as powerful drug and biomaterial screening platforms.

    Abstract Ultrasonic microneedle patches, a class of ultrasound-driven transdermal drug delivery systems, are promising in addressing bacterial biofilms. This device has been proven to be more effective in treating Staphylococcus aureus biofilms than drug in free solution. However, there exists a notable gap in understanding how various excitation conditions and material parameters affect drug delivery efficiency. This study aims to fill this void by conducting an comprehensive multi-physics numerical analysis of ultrasonic microneedle patches, with the ultimate goal of enhancing drug delivery. First, we investigate the impact of various ultrasound frequencies on drug penetration depths. The findings reveal that local resonance can accelerate drug release within a shorter time window (first 1.5 h), whereas non-resonant frequencies enable more profound and prolonged diffusion. This information is crucial for medical professionals in selecting the most effective frequency for optimal drug administration. Furthermore, our investigation extends to the effects of applied voltage on temperature distribution, a critical aspect for ensuring medical safety during the application of these patches. Additionally, we examine how particles of different sizes respond to acoustic pressure and streaming fields, providing valuable insights for tailoring drug delivery strategies to specific therapeutic needs. Overall, our findings offer comprehensive guidelines for the effective use of ultrasonic microneedle patches, potentially shifting the paradigm in patient care and enhancing the overall quality of life.

    Abstract Identification of novel antibiotics is of top importance because of the threat of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Antimicrobial screening in Mueller-Hinton broth is frequently the first step in antimicrobial discovery. Although widely utilized, this medium is not ideal as it could mask activity of candidates such as human cathelicidin LL-37 against methicillin-resistant

    Abstract Biofilms pose a great challenge for wound management. Herein, this study describes a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive microneedle patch for on-demand release of antimicrobial peptide for treatment of wound biofilms. IR780 iodide as a photothermal conversion agent and molecularly engineered peptide W379 as an antimicrobial agent are loaded in dissolvable poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) microneedle patches followed by coating with a phase change material 1-tetradecanol (TD). After placing in an aqueous solution or biofilm containing wounds ex vivo and in vivo, upon exposure to NIR light, the incorporated IR780 induces light-to-heat conversion, causing the melting of TD. This leads to the dissolution of PVP microneedles, enabling the release of loaded W379 peptide from the microneedles into surrounding regions (e.g., solution, biofilm, wound bed). Compared with traditional microneedle patches, NIR light responsive microneedle patches can program the release of antimicrobial peptide and show high antibacterial efficacy in vitro. Meanwhile, this work indicates that NIR light responsive TD-coated, W379-loaded PVP microneedle patches show excellent antibiofilm activities ex vivo and in vivo. Additionally, this microneedle system could be a promising platform for delivering other antimicrobial agents.

    Abstract Plume chasing is cost-effective, measuring individual, on-road vehicular emissions. Whereas, wake-flow-generated turbulence results in intermittent, rapid pollutant dilution and substantial fluctuating concentrations right behind the vehicle being chased. The sampling duration is therefore one of the important factors for acquiring representative (average) concentrations, which, however, has been seldom addressed. This paper, which is based on the detailed spatio-temporal dispersion data after a heavy-duty truck calculated by large-eddy simulation (LES), examines how sampling duration affects the uncertainty of the measured concentrations in plume chasing. The tailpipe dispersion is largely driven by the jet-like flows through the vehicle underbody with approximate Gaussian concentration distribution for x ≤ 0.6h, where x is the distance after the vehicle and h the characteristic vehicle size. Thereafter for x ≥ 0.6h, the major recirculation plays an important role in near-wake pollutant transport whose concentrations are highly fluctuating and positively shewed. Plume chasing for a longer sampling duration is more favourable but is logistically impractical in busy traffic. Sampling duration, also known as averaging time in the statistical analysis, thus has a crucial role in sampling accuracy. With a longer sampling (averaging) duration, the sample mean concentration converges to the population mean, improving the sample reliability. However, this effect is less pronounced in long sampling duration. The sampling accuracy is also influenced by the locations of sampling points. For the region x > 0.6h, the sampling accuracy is degraded to a large extent. As a result, acceptable sample mean is hardly achievable. Finally, frequency analysis unveils the mechanism leading to the variance in concentration measurements which is attributed to sampling duration. Those data with frequency higher than the sampling frequency are filtered out by moving average in the statistical analyses.

    Abstract Effective therapies are urgently needed to stabilize patients with marginally compressible junctional hemorrhage long enough to get them to the hospital alive. Herein, we report injectable and rapidly expandable cryogels consisting of polyacrylamide and thrombin (AT cryogels) created by cryo-polymerization for the efficient management of lethal junctional hemorrhage in swine. The produced cryogels have small pore sizes and highly interconnected porous architecture with robust mechanical strength. The cryogels exhibit rapid shape memory properties and prove to be resilient against fatigue. These cryogels also show high water/blood absorption capacity, fast blood clotting effect, and enhanced adhesion of red blood cells and platelets
