Soft, untethered microrobots composed of biocompatible materials for completing micromanipulation and drug delivery tasks in lab-on-a-chip and medical scenarios are currently being developed. Alginate holds significant potential in medical microrobotics due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and drug encapsulation capabilities. Here, we describe the synthesis of MANiACs—Magnetically Aligned Nanorods in Alginate Capsules—for use as untethered microrobotic surface tumblers, demonstrating magnetically guided lateral tumbling via rotating magnetic fields. MANiAC translation is demonstrated on tissue surfaces as well as inclined slopes. These alginate microrobots are capable of manipulating objects over millimeter-scale distances. Finally, we demonstrate payload release capabilities of MANiACs during translational tumbling motion.

Mexico is a center of diversification for the Cactaceae family, with 69% of the species recorded as endemic. Certain members of the Cactaceae family have been chemically analyzed to relate their medicinal use with their phytochemistry. Here, the phytochemistry and bioactivity of ethanol extracts of Ferocactus echidne, F. latispinus, and Mammillaria geminispina were evaluated. A preliminary phytochemical analysis was performed, detecting the presence of saponins, tannins, cardiotonic glycosides, and sesquiterpene lactones. The presence of nicotinic acid in F. echidne and F. latispinus was identified by GC-MS. Other compounds found in the extracts of these three species were gentisic acid, diosmetin, chlorogenic acid, N-methyltyramide, and hordenine. The antioxidant activity was estimated with the DPPH free radical scavenging test. To determine the toxicity of the extracts, the in vivo model of Artemia spp. was used. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the extract was tested on C6, HaCaT, THP-1, and U937 cell lines, while the inflammatory activity was tested by measuring the secretion of cytokines using macrophage cells. The three species showed different bioactivities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and anti-inflammatory activities. To the best of our knowledge, the results presented here are the first described for these species.

Introducción: la conservación del Flujo Sanguíneo Cerebral (FSC) es muy importante para preservar las funciones normales del encéfalo. La regulación de este, esta mediada principalmente por la capacidad contráctil de los vasos sanguíneos. Objetivo: describir el comportamiento del flujo sanguíneo cerebral en la fase ebb de las quemaduras en pacientes pediátricos. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo, prolectivo y transversal en pacientes pediátricos, con quemaduras en la fase ebb a los que se les incluyó en un protocolo ultrasonográfico de neuromonitorización. Resultados: el grupo etario más afectado fue el de escolares (n=25) por género el masculino (n=37). La causa de quemaduras más común fue por escaldadura (n=42). Se encontró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el grupo etario y la causa de quemaduras (p<0.001). El índice de pulsatilidad fue mayor en el género masculino con 0.58 y en edad escolar con 0.61, el índice de resistencia fue igual entre géneros con 0.47 y mayor en adolescentes con 0.50, el índice de Lingegaard fue mayor en el género femenino con 1.31 y en edad escolar con 1.51. Conclusiones: se encontró una correlación con tendencia positiva significativa entre el porcentaje de superficie corporal quemada y el índice de resistencia (p=0.031, rho=0.273).
