Nanobubbles and Fibroblast Growth: An In Vitro Study on Cell Migration and Proliferation.

Nanobubbles are studied for their unique properties and possible applications in wound healing processes. This study investigates the effects of hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), and ozone (O₃) nanobubbles on fibroblast migration and proliferation using  scratch wound healing assays. Fibroblast cells were treated with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) combined with nanobubble solutions, and cell density was measured at 24 and 48 hours.

Atherogenic Dyslipidemia Is Critically Related to Aortic Complicated Lesions in Cryptogenic Stroke.

Aims: Atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) is regarded as a residual risk of cardiovascular diseases characterized by low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high triglyceride (TG) levels and related to the intracranial stenosis of atheromatous thrombotic brain infarction (ATBI). Further, atherosclerosis is possibly related to another stroke subtype, including cryptogenic stroke (CS). In particular, an aortic complicated lesion (ACL) is a notable embolic source of CS, since recurrence of aortogenic brain embolism is not rare.

Efficacy of Oral Sirolimus Therapy for Adult Orbital Slow-Flow Vascular Malformations: A Volumetric Evaluation.

Orbital lymphatic malformations significantly impair visual function, with inflammation contributing to corneal dryness and diplopia due to exophthalmos. Disease progression may lead to blindness, and in severe cases, exenteration may be required. We treated two symptomatic cases of adult orbital slow-flow vascular malformations with oral sirolimus.

Evaluation of the Effect of Gluteus Maximus Contraction by Electrical Stimulation on Interfacial Pressure in Supine Bed Positions.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the gluteus maximus in the bed flat position (F position) and 30-degree head elevation position (30 HE position) on sacral pressure.

Methods: Twenty volunteers consented to participate in this study. Sacral pressure was measured in the F position and at the 30 HE position with and without NMES in the supine positions.
