RESUMO
Niches with multiple physical and chemical cues can influence the fate of cells and tissues in vivo. Simulating the in vivo niche in the design of bioactive materials is a challenge, particularly to tune multiple cues simultaneously in the same system. Here, an assembly strategy was developed to regulate multiple cues in the same scaffold based on the use of two silk nanofiber components that respond differently during the fabrication processes. An aqueous solution containing the two components, amorphous silk nanofibers (ASNFs) and ß-sheet-rich silk nanofibers (BSNFs), was sequentially treated with an electrical field and freeze-drying processes where the BSNFs oriented to the electrical field, while the ASNFs formed stable porous structures during the lyophilization process to impact the mechanical properties. Bioactive cargo, such as deferoxamine (DFO), was loaded on the BSNFs to enrich cell responses with the scaffolds. The in vitro results revealed that the loaded DFO and the anisotropic structures with improved mechanical properties resulted in better vascularization than those of the scaffolds without the anisotropic features. The multiple cues in the scaffolds provided angiogenic niches to accelerate wound healing.
RESUMO
Objective: To study the effect of wound healing and aesthetic satisfaction of patient with second degree burn wounds treated by Kangfuxin solution. Methods: 84 cases of burn plastic surgery in our hospital from October 2020 to October 2021 were included. All patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 42 cases in each group. Patients in both groups received basic treatment after admission, and patients in the control group received conventional treatment. Patients in the observation group were treated with Kangfuxin solution after admission. The clinical efficacy, wound healing time, secretion disappearance time, infection rate, and scar formation rate after treatment were compared between the two groups. The scores of patients and observer scar assessment scale (POSAS) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment was also compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 92.86%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (61.90%) (P < 0.05).The time of wound healing and secretion disappearance in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05); the infection rate and scar formation rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05).The scores of PSAs and OSAS in the observation group were significantly lower than those before treatment and after treatment in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the observation group (7.14%) and the control group (9.52%) (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The Kangfuxin solution has the advantages of fast wound healing, high patient satisfaction, better therapeutic effect, and high safety, which is worth clinical application.
RESUMO
Background: To elucidate the potential biological function of hsa_circ_0062270 in the malignant process of melanoma and its potential target. Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to examine relative level of hsa_circ_0062270 in melanoma tissues and normal skin tissues. The diagnostic and prognostic potentials of hsa_circ_0062270 in melanoma were evaluated. The regulatory effect of hsa_circ_0062270 on the expression of linear transcript Cell division cycle protein 45 (CDC45) was also examined. Results: Hsa_circ_0062270 was up-regulated in melanoma samples and cell lines, which displayed certain diagnostic and prognostic potentials in melanoma. Inhibition of hsa_circ_0062270 attenuated the proliferative, migratory and invasive functions. Hsa_circ_0062270 could stabilize the expression of linear transcript CDC45, and thus participated in the malignant process of melanoma. Conclusion: Hsa_circ_0062270 promotes proliferative, migratory and invasive functions of melanoma cells via stabilizing the linear transcript CDC45. Hsa_circ_0062270 can be used to diagnosis and treatment of melanoma.
RESUMO
Background: A cascade of genes and pathways have been reported in the precise regulation of malignant melanoma (MM). Previous study has demonstrated that lncRNA LNCOC1 is an oncogenic factor in the pathogenesis and development of various cancers. The present study explored the functionalities of LNCOC1 and its interactions with miR-124 in MM. Methods: A total of 65 melanoma patients were enrolled in this study. The expression of LNCOC1 and miR-124 after cell transfection were detected by RT-qPCR. The migration rates of SK-MEL-3 and A375 cells after transient transfection with LNCOC1 expression vector and miR-124 mimic was detected by trans-well assay. Results: LNCOC1 was accumulated to high levels in melanoma, and it was significantly correlated with the low survival rate of melanoma patients. Our bioinformatics data showed that miR-124 could target LNCOC1. Overexpression of miR-124 could downregulate LNCOC1. However, up-regulated the expression of LNCOC1 did not affect the expression of miR-124. Our correlation analysis also revealed that the expression of LNCOC1 and miR-124 were inversely correlated in both melanoma tissues and non-tumor tissues. The trans-well invasion and migration assays indicated that overexpression of miR-124 inhibited the melanoma cell invasion and migration. However, overexpression of LNCOC1 promoted melanoma cell invasion and migration. Conclusion: LNCOC1 is upregulated in melanoma, which can be considered as a potential target of miR-124 in modulating melanoma cell invasion and migration. LNCOC1 may also be an interfering target of MM therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes in myocardial dynamics in early phases of burn shock of dogs and the effects of rapid fluid infusion in delayed resuscitation. METHODS: Twelve mongrel dogs were randomly divided into control (n=6) and burn (n=6) groups. The dogs in burn group were subjected to 35% total body surface area (TBSA) III degree burn and were resuscitated with lactate Ringer's solution 6 hours postburn. The volumes and rates of fluid infusion were controlled basically on the urinary output of 1.0 mlxkg(-1)xh(-1) and cardiac output (CO) of 70%-80% of pre-burn values. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), maximum rate of intraventricular pressure rise/down (+/-dp/dt max) and cardiac index (CI) were determined at 0.5, 1,2, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 24 hours postburn. RESULTS: The MAP, LVSP, +/-dp/dt max and CI were significantly lowered from their baseline and those of control group at 0.5 hour postburn, and they kept declining until 6 hours postburn. They showed a tendency of elevation and reached or approached the levels of that in control group within 2 hours of resuscitation, and the differences were not significant between the two groups 4 hours after burn (all P>0.05). The amount of infusion fluid within the first 4 hours of resuscitation was (3.63+/-0.99) ml/kg per 1% TBSA. CONCLUSION: The myocardial dynamics is depressed in the early stage of burn, the effective way to improve it is to infuse a large amount of fluid rapidly when resuscitation is delayed.
