Combination Treatment for Inhibition of the Growth of with Recombinant SAP8 Endolysin and Nisin.

, a pathogenic species of genus involved in foodborne illness always remain among the top priorities of the world major concerns. In the present study, we have used recombinant SAP8 endolysin from the bacteriophage SAP8 and commercial nisin to inhibit the viability of pathogenic KCTC 3881 cells; however, the approach was not identified as cost-effective. A gradual decrease in the viable KCTC 3881 cell counts was observed with an increase in the concentrations of recombinant SAP8 endolysin and nisin.

Synergistic Inhibition by Bacteriocin and Bacteriophage against .

is a representative pathogenic bacterium carefully controlled in the dairy industry because it causes bovine mastitis and thus, can enter the dairy chain. Furthermore, the emergence of multi-drug resistant is a big problem. We previously isolated a strain producing a bacteriocin that exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against .

Palmar crease release and secondary full-thickness skin grafts for contractures in primary full-thickness skin grafts during growth spurts in pediatric palmar hand burns.

Pediatric palmar hand burns are a difficult problem because of the serious hand deformity, with functional impairment resulting from rapid growth. In cases of severe pediatric palmar hand burns, a secondary full-thickness skin graft after a primary full-thickness skin graft offers a reliable way of obtaining the required functional and aesthetic outcomes.This study retrospectively evaluated 28 children who required palmar crease releases and secondary full-thickness skin grafts during the past 12 years.

Pseudoangiosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma developing on a burn scar: a case report and review of the literature.

Pseudoangiosarcomatous squamous cell carcinoma, also known as pseudovascular, pseudovascular adenoid and pseudoangiomatous squamous cell carcinoma, is an exceedingly rare, aggressive variant of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with extreme acantholysis resulting in angiosarcoma-like areas. Histologically, a pseudoangiosarcomatous pattern includes complex anastomosing channels and spaces lined with neoplastic cells. The neoplastic cells exhibit cytokeratin and vimentin positivity but yield negative results with CD31 and CD34.

Modified dovetail-plasty in scar revision.

Scar revision is one of the fundamental techniques in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. Local flaps, such as a Z-plasty, W-plasty, or geometric broken-line closure, have been used for scar revision. Camouflaging a scar during scar revision for marginal scars from skin grafts and flaps, trapdoor scars, and linear scars is difficult.

The impact of laser Doppler imaging on the early decision-making process for surgical intervention in adults with indeterminate burns.

Objective: We aimed to analyze whether laser Doppler imaging (LDI) can lead to earlier decision-making regarding the need for surgery in adults with indeterminate burns.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we developed a prediction model for surgery in adults with indeterminate burns. Patient data (n=101) from January 2007 to December 2009 were used for model development, and those (n=40) from January 2010 to October 2010 for external validation.

Unique profile of ordered arrangements of repetitive elements in the C57BL/6J mouse genome implicating their functional roles.

The entirety of all protein coding sequences is reported to represent a small fraction (~2%) of the mouse and human genomes; the vast majority of the rest of the genome is presumed to be repetitive elements (REs). In this study, the C57BL/6J mouse reference genome was subjected to an unbiased RE mining to establish a whole-genome profile of RE occurrence and arrangement. The C57BL/6J mouse genome was fragmented into an initial set of 5,321 units of 0.

Relationship between healing time and mean perfusion units of laser Doppler imaging (LDI) in pediatric burns.

Background: Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) is a noninvasive technique used to assess burn depth. However, there have been no studies regarding the use of LDI in predicting burn healing time.

Objectives: The aims of this study are to evaluate the relationship between healing time and the amount of perfusion seen on LDI and to determine a cut-off value for LDI that predicts if a burn will heal within 14 days.
