Critical role for Transglutaminase 2 in scleroderma skin fibrosis and in the development of dermal sclerosis in a mouse model of scleroderma.

Objective: Scleroderma is a life-threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodelling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally-induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.

Methods: We performed immunohistochemistry on skin sections to assess TGM2 expression and localisation, and protein biochemistry of both SSc-derived and healthy control dermal fibroblasts to assess TGM2 expression, function and ECM deposition in the presence of a TGM2 and TGFβ neutralizing antibodies and a small molecule inhibitor of the TGFβRI kinase.

Evaluating the Use of a 3D Exoscope to Improve Ergonomics in Cleft Surgery.

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the technical feasibility, ergonomics, and educational value of the 3D exoscope in comparison with traditional and prism loupes in cleft surgery. A variety of cleft and pharyngeal operations were performed with the VITOM 3D exoscope (Karl Storz GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany), traditional/prism loupes, and microscope. The cervical neck angulation of the operating surgeon was recorded in real-time with an inertia measurement unit system (Mbient, San Francisco, USA) and experiences of the surgeon and assistant were prospectively evaluated with 5-point Likert scales.

HCV and HBV genotypes: vital in the progression of HCV/ HBV co-infection.

Background: Viral hepatitis is the major contributor to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Studies indicated that the co-infection of hepatitis C and hepatitis B virus also prompts liver damage progression. Therefore, in the present study, the prevalence of HCV-HBV co-infection and the impact of HCV-HBV co-infection on the progression of liver damage was evaluated amongst the HCV-infected patients in Pakistan.
