Summary: The study assessed the efficacy of NH2-GO and Fr in a rat facial nerve motor neuron axotomy model using a ST conduit. Results showed an increase in regenerating axons and mean axon diameter with NH2-GO and a decrease in myelin surface area with Fr. Joint application of NH2-GO and Fr led to more regenerated axons and increased myelin thickness compared to the hydrogel group.

Summary: This study investigates the performance variation characteristics of silicone rubber and fluorinated silicone rubber at extremely cold temperatures. The results show that the breakdown voltage, maximum tensile force, and tensile strength of both types of samples increase with freezing time, while the elongation at break decreases. The hardness of the two materials remains relatively unchanged. Additionally, increasing freezing time leads to the appearance of microcracks and tiny pores on the sample surface, with the length and depth of the microcracks gradually developing. The comparative analysis shows that fluorinated silicone rubber outperforms silicone rubber, particularly in extremely cold environments.

Summary: Flexible capacitive sensors based on silicone rubber are important in both academic and industrial fields due to their advantages, but they require dielectric additives to enhance electrical properties, which also increase Young's modulus. Liquid silicone rubbers are commonly used in academia, but compromise mechanical integrity, while high-consistency silicone rubbers maintain mechanical integrity but have limited use in dielectrics. This paper explores the potential of vinyl-terminated HCR for developing dielectric composites with high electromechanical response while retaining mechanical and processability properties.

Summary: The study focuses on the absorption characteristics and evolution of key properties of silicone rubber (SiR) in the presence of silicone grease, investigating the diffusion mechanism and absorption behavior of silicone grease within SiR. Results show that silicone grease absorption follows Langmuir diffusion model and is accelerated under tensile strain. The absorbed silicone grease deteriorates the key electrical and mechanical properties of SiR, with discussions on the mechanism of mechanical property deterioration.

Summary: Peripheral nerve injury disrupts axons, leading to exposure to a new environment during regeneration. Strategies to enhance and control axonal regeneration often involve mimicking natural nerve environment cues, such as nano- and micropatterned substrates. By using anisotropic, groove-patterned substrates, enhanced and directed growth of sensory axons can be achieved, potentially opening new avenues for translational development in vivo.

Summary: The durability and stability of the superhydrophobic silicone rubber composite (MVQ/screen mesh/spray) were verified through various tests. The composite material showed good surface contact angle and rolling angle, and the rubber surface with regular concave-convex structure exhibited enhanced abrasion resistance. The hydrophobic effect of the material remained intact after series of durability tests.

Summary: There is no significant difference in adverse respiratory events between intubated, critically ill patients requiring operative intervention who are kept NPO for 6 hours or longer compared to those kept NPO for less than 6 hours. Patients commonly experience periods of fasting much longer than the recommended 6-hour period by the American Society of Anesthesiologists.

Summary: Introduction: Prescription opioids, including those prescribed after surgery, have greatly contributed to the US opioid epidemic. Educating opioid prescribers is a crucial component of ensuring the safe use of opioids among surgical patients. This study implemented an annual education curriculum for new surgical prescribers, resulting in significant improvements in knowledge and comfort levels. However, there remains a persistent knowledge and comfort gap among these prescribers.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of using humanized anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) antibodies conjugated with near-infrared dyes to specifically label gastric cancers in mouse models. Orthotopic models showed bright and specific labeling with more than ten times higher tumor-to-background ratios compared to the control. This tumor-specific fluorescent antibody has promising potential as a clinical tool for improving visualization of gastric cancer margins during surgical resection.

Summary: This scoping review analyzed the literature on the use of broadband personality tests in the bariatric surgical population to optimize weight loss outcomes. The study found significant associations between personality scales and weight loss, but inconsistent reporting of outcome measures made it challenging to draw concrete conclusions. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery recommends standardization of outcome reporting to improve the reliability of predicting weight loss outcomes.
