| 8 | Advances in haemostatic sponges: Characteristics and the underlying mechanisms for rapid haemostasis显示文摘In traumatized patients, the primary cause of mortality is uncontrollable continuous bleeding and unexpected intraoperative bleeding which is likely to increase the risk of complications and surgical failure. High expansion sponges are effective clinical practice for the treatment of wound bleeding (irregular/deep/narrow) that are caused by capillaries, veins and even arterioles as they possess a high liquid absorption ratio so can absorb blood platelets easily in comparison with traditional haemostasis treatments, which involve compression, ligation, or electrical coagulation etc. When in contact with blood, haemostatic sponges can cause platelet adhesion, aggregation, and thrombosis, preventing blood from flowing out from wounds, triggering the release of coagulation factors, causing the blood to form a stable polymerized fibre protein, forming blood clots, and achieving the goal of wound bleeding control. Haemostatic sponges are found in a variety of shapes and sizes. The aim of this review is to facilitate an overview of recent research around haemostatic sponge materials, products, and technology. This paper reviews the synthesis, properties, and characteristics of haemostatic sponges, together with the haemostasis mechanisms of haemostatic sponges (composite materials), such as chitosan, cellulose, gelatin, starch, graphene oxide, hyaluronic acid, alginate, polyethylene glycol, silk fibroin, synthetic polymers silver nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles. Also, this paper reviews commercial sponges and their properties. In addition to this, we discuss various in-vitro/in-vivo approaches for the evaluation of the effect of sponges on haemostasis . | Akriti Nepal Huong D.N.Tran Nam-Trung Nguyen Hang Thu Ta | 2023 | Bioactive Materials2023，，9： | 0 |
| 9 | Nutritional status of Vietnamese infants assessed by Fenton growth chart and related factors:A cross-sectional study显示文摘Importance:Nutritional status of infants,measured by birth weight and length,is an essential factor in neonatal development.Malnutrition in newborns may lead to a higher risk of mortality,neurological and cognitive impairment,and poor language development.Objective:This study aims to assess the nutritional status of infants and related factors regarding maternal anthropometric characteristics and medical history.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Vietnam from May 2021 to May 2022 on 340 infants and mothers.Low birth weight was defined following the Intergrowth-21 standards.Stunting was evaluated using the Fenton growth chart when the length was below the 10%percentile line of the gestational week.Multivariate regression models were applied to identify factors associated with the nutritional status of infants.Results:We found that 12.4%and 14.1%of infants in our study fell into stunted and underweight categories,respectively.Infants of mothers over 35 years old,having a height lower than 150 cm or experiencing anemia during pregnancy were more likely to be stunted or have low birth weight.Serum albumin deficiency during pregnancy was strongly associated with the infant being underweight(odds ratio[OR]=2.8,95%confidence interval[95%CI]1.1–7.3).Newborns were more likely to be stunted if their mothers had a history of preterm birth(OR=3.3,95%CI 1.1–10.2).Interpretation:Maternal nutritional status is closely related to infant malnutrition,particularly in preterm infants.Improving the understanding of mothers regarding prenatal care,reproductive healthcare,adequate nutritional diet,and multi-micronutrient supplements during pregnancy is therefore important. | Lieu Thu Thi Nguyen Cuong Danh Tran Ha Thu Thi Nguyen Hai Thanh Phan Linh Thuy Nguyen Huong Lan Thi Nguyen Anh Hoai Thi Ta Chau Quynh Thi Pho Khanh Nam Do Anh Kim Dang Huong Thi Le | 2023 | Pediatric Investigation2023，7，4： | 0 |
