Localised delivery of interleukin-13 from a PLGA microparticle embedded GelMA hydrogel improves functional and histopathological recovery in a mouse contusion spinal cord injury mo... by Ciara M. Walsh, Ruth Colbert, James P. Reynolds, Emily Dunne, Emmanuelle D. Aiyegbusi, Ross O'Carroll, Jacek K. Wychowaniec, Takahiro Masuda, Klaus-Peter Knobeloch, Marco Prinz, Dermot F. Brougham, Dearbhaile Dooley

“…RT-qPCR and RNA-seq analyses confirmed sustained immunomodulation over 28 days and indicated early reduction of activated microglia at 7 days post-injury as a key therapeutic mechanism. This study presents a safe, effective, and translatable strategy for localised cytokine delivery, demonstrating strong potential for immunomodulation and improved functional recovery following SCI.…”

Arthroscopic adhesiolysis in elderly patients with post-traumatic frozen shoulder by Zhusha Wang, Yulong Shi, Xu Yang, Qubo Ni, Kai Tie

“…The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (0.87 ± 0.12, P = 0.021), Present Pain Intensity (PPI) (0.76 ± 0.07, P = 0.016), and Pain Rating Index (PRI) (5.32 ± 0.32, P < 0.001) scores were lower in the study group than the control group at 3 months post-treatment. Moreover, no significant differences were seen in terms of pain relief, daily living activities, shoulder joint function, and muscle strength between the two groups before the treatment; however, at 3 months post-treatment, the study group demonstrated better outcomes in these dimensions compared to the control group (all P ≤ 0.021), with notably improved shoulder joint mobility (all P < 0.001). …”
