摘要： Hip tethering devices comprise a femoral implant including a housing that anchors the femoral implant to the femur, at least one spring, and a slider, such that the slider can move relative to the housing via compression and expansion of the at least one spring. A tether has a first end that anchors to the acetabulum, the tether passes through the femoral head, and a second end couples to the slider of the femoral implant, such that the tether spans across the patient's hip joint and relative motion between the slider and the housing allows a limited degree of separation of the femoral head from the acetabulum, while the at least one spring applies a variable tension load to the tether that resists separation of the femoral head from the acetabulum.

摘要： Provided herein are methods of treating cancer and fibrosis in a patient. The cancer may be prostate cancer. The fibrosis may be cystitis arising from a cancer therapy, such as from treatment of prostate cancer. The methods involve activation of senescent cells, such as senescent cancer cells with a soluble guanylate cyclase activator. The treatment with the soluble guanylate cyclase activator may be a primary therapy or an adjuvant therapy to a primary cancer therapy such as a chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The treatment may be administered after completion of a primary cancer therapy.

摘要： Recombinant C-X-C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL) peptides modified to introduce a cleavage site for a protease, such as a protease activated during an inflammatory response, are described. The CXCL peptides have the capacity to activate CXCR3 until being cleaved by the protease. Proteolytic cleavage of the CXCL peptide minimizes the pro-inflammatory response and inhibits the development of fibrosis.

摘要： The invention provides noble metal-free electro-catalyst compositions for use in acidic media, e.g., acidic electrolyte. The noble metal-free electro-catalyst compositions include non-noble metal absent of noble metal. The non-noble metal is non-noble metal oxide, and typically in the form of any configuration of a solid or hollow nano-material, e.g., nano-particles, a nanocrystalline thin film, nanorods, nanoshells, nanoflakes, nanotubes, nanoplates, nanospheres and nanowhiskers or combinations of myriad nanoscale architecture embodiments. Optionally, the noble metal-free electro-catalyst compositions include dopant, such as, but not limited to halogen. Acidic media includes oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, and direct methanol fuel cells and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in PEM-based water electrolysis and metal air batteries, and hydrogen generation from solar energy and electricity-driven water splitting.
