Burr Hole Surgery for Chronic Subdural Hematoma with Extensive Scalp Burn.

Background: Neurosurgical intervention for a patient with an extensive scalp burn is rare, but it may be associated with a high risk of surgical site infection.

Case Description: An 80-year-old man had a severe and extensive scalp burn. A chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) was observed on a computed tomographic view of the head, performed for the assessment of bacteremia during treatment in the intensive care unit.

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy ameliorates diabetic hepatocyte damage in mice by inhibiting infiltration of bone marrow-derived cells.

Unlabelled: Although mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been implicated in hepatic injury, the mechanism through which they contribute to diabetic liver disease has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated the effects of MSC therapy on diabetic liver damage with a focus on the role of bone-marrow-derived cells (BMDCs), which infiltrate the liver, and elucidated the mechanism mediating this process. Rat bone-marrow (BM)-derived MSCs were administered to high-fat diet (HFD)-induced type 2 diabetic mice and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced insulin-deficient diabetic mice.
