Article Abstract
Purpose: The elastic stable intramedullary nail has been recognized as an accepted technique for treating pediatric long bone fractures. The principle of the technique is "3-point support and fixation," and it should be followed to achieve the optimum outcome without implant failure and complications. However, tools have yet to be reported for pre-bending of the elastic stable intramedullary nail. This study aims to present a novel tool for pre-bending the elastic stable intramedullary nails and the results of using this tool by surgeons.
Methods: A designed case of femoral shaft fracture was provided to the participants. All participants were divided into three groups according to their experience with the elastic stable intramedullary nail technique: resident, fellow, and attending groups. The time of completing the pre-bending and coronal plane deviation of the nails after pre-bending was recorded. Statistical analysis compared the data in a conventional way and with the new tools in each group.
Results: A total of 30 physicians were recruited in this study. The pre-bending duration with the new tool was significantly shorter than that of the conventional method for all physicians ( 0.001). The coronal plane deviation of nails after pre-bending by the new tool was significantly smaller than that of the conventional method for all physicians ( 0.001).
Conclusion: This novel tool for elastic stable intramedullary nail pre-bending was convenient and easy to use in achieving the principal role of the elastic stable intramedullary nail technique. Physicians could reduce the coronal plane deviation when pre-bending elastic stable intramedullary nails, especially for physicians with less experience with the elastic stable intramedullary nail technique.

Pressure-Dependent Pneumothorax Following Pleural Drainage in a Non-expandable Lung: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Pressure-dependent pneumothorax is an under-recognized but clinically significant phenomenon that complicates pleural fluid drainage, particularly in patients with non-expandable lungs due to malignancy or chronic pleural fibrosis. Unlike pressure-independent pneumothorax, this condition arises from the pronounced transpleural pressure gradient generated during therapeutic thoracentesis or chest drainage. This negative pressure transiently distorts the visceral pleura, allowing air to enter the pleural space until an equilibrium is reached.

This study aimed to examine the impact of composite enzymatic treatment on the physicochemical properties of oat milk, which would provide an effective strategy to improve the stability of plant-based milk. Oat milks treated with individual α-amylase or in combination with the protein glutaminase were produced. The result indicated that composite enzyme treatment significantly changed the physicochemical properties and significantly improved the stability of oat milk.

The development of controllable nanoplatforms with disease-specific responsiveness and programmable therapeutic functions is vital for treating complex cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Herein, we present an intelligent, next-generation nanoplatform (HALA@AgS) that integrates enzyme-responsive dual-drug delivery with NIR-II imaging-guided photothermal therapy (PTT), enabling triple-stimuli synergy of enzyme, light, and multi-drug co-activation. This modular design enables stable nanoassemblies with high drug-loading capacity and selective disassembly in enzyme-rich plaque microenvironments, achieving controlled dual-drug release exceeding 80 % within 72 h.

Physical hydrogels, hydrophilic polymer networks with reversible crosslinks, have drawn attention in cutting-edge applications due to high tunability and biocompatibility. The self-healing capability and elasticity are crucial to ensure the robustness and lifespan of the hydrogel, but achieving these exclusive properties remains challenging. Herein, fully self-healable and elastic hydrogel is achieved through long-chain polyacrylic acid (PAA) scaffold and follow-up polymerization of polyacrylamide (PAM).
