Abstract Clobetasol propionate (CP) is a high-potency corticosteroid, representing the standard of care for the symptomatic treatment of different skin disorders as well as oral mucosal diseases. Several topical delivery systems are available for treating oral lesions, but the ideal one is still lacking. In this work, we propose a novel class of chitosan (CS) patches, loaded with CP, for the topical treatment of inflammatory chronic oral diseases. Chitosan patches have been fabricated...
Abstract For cartilage tissue repairing, it remains a key challenge to design implant materials with antibacterial activity, proper degradation rate and mechanical property. In this research, antibacterial nanodiamonds (QND, QND-Ag) modified acrylate-terminated polyurethanes (APU) were prepared. By the addition of nanocomposites, the crystallinity of modified APU obviously increased, which indicates a strong interaction between NDs and APU. Tensile and compression tests were...

Abstract Frequent deletions of tumor-suppressor genes at chromosome 3p21.3 have been detected in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). As a candidate tumor suppressor gene, semaphorin 3B (SEMA3B) is located at 3p21.3 and is frequently inactivated in several tumors. However, the role and inactivation mechanisms of SEMA3B and its antisense long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) SEMA3B-AS1 in the carcinogenesis of ESCC have not been fully elucidated. The present study was conducted to...
