Critical Role of CD55 in Controlling Wound Healing.

How reparative processes are coordinated following injury is incompletely understood. In recent studies, we showed that autocrine C3a and C5a receptor (C3ar1 and C5ar1) G protein-coupled receptor signaling plays an obligate role in vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 growth signaling in vascular endothelial cells. We documented the same interconnection for platelet-derived growth factor receptor growth signaling in smooth muscle cells, epidermal growth factor receptor growth signaling in epidermal cells, and fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling in fibroblasts, indicative of a generalized cell growth regulatory mechanism.

The quality monitoring of paracetamol medicament using a noninvasive microwave sensor.

Environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, and light, can impact the quality of drugs. Microwave-based approaches offer a fast and cost-effective way to detect quality variations, providing an alternative to traditional techniques in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This article proposes the use of a microwave sensor for monitoring the quality of pharmaceutical drugs at distinct temperature levels.

The Use of a Fabricated Endotracheal Tube During an Acute Massive Pulmonary Hemorrhage: A Case Report.

A massive pulmonary hemorrhage is an emergency that can lead to airway compromise and cardiovascular collapse. The goals of airway management are to isolate and protect the nonbleeding lung while providing a route for interventions to diagnose and control the bleeding site. We present a case of an adult male with a lung mass who underwent a bronchoscopy and cryobiopsy that was complicated by a massive pulmonary hemorrhage.

CASE REPORT OF THE ROLE OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IN RECOMBINANT GROWTH HORMONE THERAPY.

Purpose: To report the correlation between recombinant growth hormone (rhGH) dosage and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness values measured by optical coherence tomography in a case of pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) after rhGH.

Methods: An 11-year-old girl was receiving rhGH for panhypopituitarism. The patient developed PTCS, and her rhGH dose was adjusted using optical coherence tomography RNFL thickness measurements.

The effects of bevacizumab treatment in a rat model of retinal ischemia and perfusion injury.

Purpose: To create a model of an ischemic retina with temporary ischemia and reperfusion (IR) and to examine the possible antiapoptotic and neurodegenerative effects of a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist.

Methods: Three groups were formed. Rats were subjected to continued ischemia for 45 min, and then reperfusion was allowed for 2 days.
