An updated narrative review on revolutionizing erectile dysfunction treatment: the crucial role of trophic factors in Adipose-Derived stem cell therapy by Armaghan Ghavam, Farhad Sheikhnia, Mohammad Mahdi Heidari, Mohammad Valilo, Zanyar Mahmoudnejad, Serap Gur

“…Early-phase clinical trials confirm ADSC safety and suggest improvements in International Index of Erectile Function scores, but are limited by small cohorts, heterogeneous protocols, and short follow‑up. Critical gaps persist that hinder translation to routine practice: the long‑term safety and efficacy of ADSC therapy remain unestablished; retention of transplanted cells in target tissues is inconsistent; methods for cell isolation, processing, dosing, delivery routes, and outcome monitoring are highly variable; and potential adverse effects—immunogenic responses or malignant transformation—have not been fully characterized. …”

Research status and new design concept of compressed air energy storage technology in abandoned mine by Hanpeng WANG, Yunhao WU, Bing ZHANG, Jianguo FAN, Mengtian LI, Jiancai SUI, Wei WANG, Dekang SUN

“…In order to avoid the safety risks in the construction and operation of CAES gas storage, we put forward a new gas storage construction scheme “pipeline layout type abandoned mine gas storage (using large diameter seamless steel pipeline as gas storage space, filling loose filling body in the gap to bear pressure)”. Compared with traditional gas storage construction scheme, this scheme has the following advantages: Greatly reduces the site selection requirements of CAES gas storage for geological structure, surrounding rock permeability, surrounding rock stability and other conditions in the mining area, and increases the site selection range; Existing pipeline construction processes and technical equipment can be utilized to reduce the difficulty of constructing gas storage; Improve the sealing performance of CAES power station gas storage to prevent gas leakage; Improve the stress environment of surrounding rock and the stability of gas storage; Avoid the impact of corrosion on the gas storage increases its durability. …”
