In this paper, we study a system of nonlinear wave equations associated withthe helical flows of Maxwell fluid. By constructing a N-order iterative scheme, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. Furthermore, we show that the sequence associated with N-order iterative scheme converges to the unique weak solution at a rate of N-order.

Objective: To compare left ventricular (LV) function, ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), and regional wall motion analyzed in 256-slice dualsource coronary CT angiography (DSCT) with 2D transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Materials and Methods: One hundred twelve patients suspected of coronary artery disease underwent DSCT and 2D-TTE within one week for LVEF, EDV, and ESV. The correlation between DSCT and 2D-TTE measurements was analyzed through linear regression and Bland- Altman analysis. Regional wall motion was visually scored with a 3-point scale (1, normal; 2, hypokinesia; 3, dysphagia, akinesia). Results: Average LVEF at 66.45%±1.27% (range 23%–85%) as determined on DSCT compared with 66.09%±1.01% (range 25%–84%) on 2D-TTE. LVEF exhibited a good correlation between DSCT and 2D-TTE (r=0.715; p<0.001). Good correlations between DSCT and 2D-TTE were demonstrated for LVEDV (r=0.732; p<0.001) and LVESV (r=0.841; p<0.001). Mean differences (±SD) of 1.78±24.10 mL (p<0.05) and 0.77±13.70 mL (p<0.05) were observed between DSCT and 2D-TTE for LVEDV and LVESV, respectively. LVEF was slightly overestimated with DSCT (0.52%±9.59%; p<0.05). Although the LVEF values calculated by DSCT and 2D-TTE were similar, EDV and ESV from DSCT were statistically higher than those from 2D-TTE (p<0.05). Agreement between DSCT and 2D-TTE in regional wall motion was 96.4%, κ=0.840. Conclusion: DSCT can provide comparable results to those using 2D-TTE for LV function (EF, EDV, and ESV) and regional wall motion assessment in a heterogeneous population.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Recently, the interest in antimicrobial hydrogels with impregnated antibacterial agents has significantly increased because of their ability to combat infection in biomedical applications, including wound management, tissue engineering, and biomaterial surface coating. Among these antibacterial reagents, silver nanoparticles (AgNP) show good antibacterial activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including highly multi-resistant strains. However, the entrapment of AgNP within a hydrogel matrix is often associated with toxicity issues because of the use of chemical reductants (<I>e.g.</I>, commonly sodium borohydride), burst leaching, or unwanted agglomeration of AgNP in the absence of surfactants or stabilizers. In this study, we present catechol-rich gelatin hydrogels with <I>in situ</I> hybridization of AgNP for enhanced antimicrobial activities. AgNP were formed through a redox reaction between silver ions and the catechol moieties of a gelatin derivative polymer, without the addition of any chemical reductants. The AgNP with an average size of 20 nm were entrapped within hydrogel matrices and showed sustained release from the hydrogel matrix (8.7% for 14 days). The resulting hydrogels could kill both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, depending on the amount of AgNP released from the hydrogels and did not have a significant influence on mammalian cell viability. We believe that our catechol-rich hydrogels <I>in situ</I> hybridizations with AgNP have great potential for biomedical applications, such as wound management and surface coating, because of their excellent antibacterial activities and biocompatibility.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Silver nanoparticles incorporation (AgNP) impart the antimicrobial properties to injectable gelatin hydrogel. </LI> <LI> AgNP was <I>in situ</I> synthesized within the hydrogel matrix, with controllable size and sustained release. </LI> <LI> The nanocomposite hydrogels significantly inhibited bacterial growth without affecting viability of mammalian cells. </LI> <LI> These <I>in situ</I> forming GHD/AgNP hydrogels are potential for a wide range of biomedical applications. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>A simple method using catecholic chemistry to prepare an injectable nanocomposite hydrogel with excellent antimicrobial activities.

In situ forming gelatin hydrogels by dual-enzymatic cross-linking for enhanced tissue adhesiveness

<P><I>In situ</I> forming hydrogels show promise as therapeutic implants and carriers in a wide range of biomedical applications. They can easily seal or fill damaged tissue, thereby functioning as cell/drug delivery vehicles or hemostats. In this regard, strong and stable adhesion to the surrounding tissue is considered an important parameter to improve the <I>in vivo</I> performance of <I>in situ</I> forming hydrogels. In this study, tissue-adhesive gelatin-based hydrogels were prepared by dual-enzymatic cross-linking, where horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and tyrosinase (Tyr) were used. Tyr was employed to convert phenol groups of gelatin derivatives into <I>o</I>-quinone, which can readily react with nucleophiles (<I>e.g.</I>, amines or thiols) on tissue surfaces, thereby resulting in strong tissue adhesion. Incorporating Tyr (0.25 kU mL<SUP>−1</SUP>) did not affect the gelation rate or mechanical strength of HRP-cross-linked hydrogels. Importantly, the dual-enzymatically cross-linked hydrogels (GH/HRP/Tyr) exhibited significantly improved adhesive strength (34 kPa), which was superior to single HRP-cross-linked hydrogels (GH/HRP; 19 kPa) and commercially available fibrin glues (7 kPa). These dual-enzymatically cross-linked gelatin-based hydrogels with strong adhesiveness could act as promising bio-adhesives for tissue-regeneration applications.</P>

<P>Thrombus and infections are the most common causes for the failure of medical devices, leading to higher hospitalization costs and, in some cases, patient morbidity. It is, therefore, necessary to develop novel strategies to prevent thrombosis and infection caused by medical devices. Herein, we report a simple and a highly efficient strategy to impart antithrombotic and antimicrobial properties to substrates, by simultaneously immobilizing heparin and in situ-synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) via a tyrosinase-catalyzed reaction. This consists of tyrosinase-oxidized phenolic groups of a heparin derivative (heparin-grafted tyramine, HT) to catechol groups, followed by immobilizing heparin and inducing the in situ Ag NP formation onto poly(urethane) (PU) substrates. The successful immobilization of both heparin and in situ Ag NPs on the substrates was confirmed by analyses of water contact angles, XPS, SEM, and AFM. The sustained silver release and the surface stability were observed for 30 days. Importantly, the antithrombotic potential of the immobilized surfaces was demonstrated by a reduction in fibrinogen absorption, platelet adhesion, and prolonged blood clotting time. Additionally, the modified PU substrates also exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The results of this work suggest a useful, effective, and time-saving method to improve simultaneous antithrombotic and antibacterial performances of a variety of substrate materials for medical devices.</P>
