Treatment of hypertrophic scars with ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser assisted with different topical triamcinolone delivery ways.

Objectives: Ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser has been used with triamcinolone to treat hypertrophic scars, resulting in promising success rates. However, there are different topical triamcinolone delivery methods used in scar treatment. To assess the efficacy among the different triamcinolone delivery methods, this study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser followed by penetration and injection of topical triamcinolone into thicker hypertrophic scars (height score of VSS ≥2).

Reconstruction and Functional Annotation of P311 Protein-Protein Interaction Network Reveals Its New Functions.

P311 is a highly conserved multifunctional protein. However, it does not belong to any established family of proteins, and its biological function has not been entirely determined. This study aims to reveal the unknown molecular and cellular function of P311.

Rapid and sensitive lateral flow immunoassay method for determining alpha fetoprotein in serum using europium (III) chelate microparticles-based lateral flow test strips.

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a primary marker for many diseases including various cancers, is important in clinical tumor diagnosis and antenatal screening. Most immunoassays provide high sensitivity and accuracy for determining AFP, but they are expensive, often complex, time-consuming procedures. A simple and rapid point-of-care system that integrates Eu (III) chelate microparticles with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been developed to determine AFP in serum with an assay time of 15 min.

Development of a colloidal gold kit for the diagnosis of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus infection.

It is critical to develop a cost-effective detection kit for rapid diagnosis and on-site detection of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection. Here, an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) to detect SFTSV infection is described. The ICA uses gold nanoparticles coated with recombinant SFTSV for the simultaneous detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to SFTSV.
