Allogenic demineralized bone matrix (DBM) is widely used for bone repair and regeneration due to its osteoinductivity and osteoconductivity. The present study utilized acellular dermis microfibers to improve the DBM's clinical handling properties and to enhance bone regeneration. Donated human cadaver skin was de-epidermized and decellularized to be acellular dermal matrix (ADM), which was further processed into microfibers.

Allogenic demineralized bone matrix (DBM), processed to expose bioactive proteins imbedded by calcium salts, is widely used for bone repair and regeneration as an alternative to the autologous bone graft. However, demineralized bone matrices from tissue banks vary significantly in residual calcium content and osteogenicity for clinical bone regeneration. The present study produced DBM with various residual calcium contents by partial demineralization using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium (EDTA) and hydrochloric acid.

Background And Objective: About 1% of patients who receive blood transfusions will develop transfusion reactions. Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) is the most common type of transfusion reaction. It not only leads to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment, but also incurs a huge economic burden.

N-Methyladenosine (mA) represents the most prevalent internal modification in mammalian mRNAs. Emerging evidences suggest that mA modification is profoundly implicated in many biological processes, including cancer development. However, limited knowledge is available about the functional importance of mA in lung cancer.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFZNF580, a newly found C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor, was first described by Zhang (GenBank ID: AF184939). Emerging evidence has suggested that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in redox-sensitive signal transduction, and the vascular endothelium plays a critical role in the vascular inflammatory response. In this communication, we present evidence for the potential role of ZNF580 in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-regulated inflammation-related signaling pathways.
