A recent report from Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, China discusses a new technique for arthroscopic repair of the subscapularis tendon. The researchers found that the knotless anchor suture in subscapularis repair simplified the process and had a positive postoperative effect. They introduced a new method called the H-Loop technique, which is particularly suitable for small subscapular tendon tears. This research provides valuable insights into improving the repair of challenging tendon injuries. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine have developed a nanogel delivery system for the treatment of asthma. The system, based on alginate crosslinked with zinc ions, effectively delivered an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound called icariin (ICA) to the bronchus through ultrasonic aerosol inhalation. The nanogel particles exhibited good bio-adhesion and could control the release of ICA, leading to the amelioration of asthmatic symptoms and attenuation of bronchial inflammation. The study suggests that this approach could be a promising strategy for treating asthma. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences explored the use of a traditional Chinese medicine formula called Pien Tze Huang (PZH) for the treatment of diabetic ulcers. The study found that PZH significantly accelerated wound healing and enhanced the expression of collagen. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that PZH had effects on various biological processes, particularly the inflammatory response. The study identified several active ingredients in PZH that may play a significant role in diabetic wound healing. Overall, the research sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the potential benefits of PZH for treating diabetic ulcers. [Extracted from the article]
