Introduction/background: Complex articular fractures around the knee in the elderly patient present an ongoing challenge regarding optimal treatment. While extensive research has evaluated immediate arthroplasty following fracture of the proximal femur, distal femur, proximal humerus, and elbow, relatively little focus has been given to immediate arthroplasty following complex tibia plateau fractures.

Methods: As seen with many other fractures, arthroplasty can shorten recovery and hospital stay and allow early weight-bearing with improved mobility while minimizing complications and possible future conversion arthroplasty cost.

Objectives: Excessive neuroinflammatory responses represent a key pathological mechanism in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Dl-3--butylphthalide (NBP), a compound previously demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory properties in ischemic stroke, was investigated for its potential therapeutic effects in a rodent model of CSVD. This study aimed to elucidate the neuroprotective mechanisms of NBP in CSVD pathogenesis.

Tacrolimus belongs to the BCS class-II drug family and exhibits poor water solubility, which leads to poor bioavailability. Furthermore, since tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant, it is essential to maintain its therapeutic concentration for a greater period of time to confirm its effectiveness against transplant rejection. Therefore, to achieve the objective of the sustained release of the drug with a suitable amount of entrapment efficiency, pH-sensitive tacrolimus-loaded superabsorbent hydrogels using chitosan have been prepared.
