Redox-Activation of Neutrophils Induced by Pericardium Scaffolds.

Implantation of scaffolds causes a local inflammatory response whereby the early recruitment of neutrophils is of great importance not only for fighting the infection, but also for facilitating effective regeneration. We used luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, flow cytometry, ELISA, and confocal microscopy to assess the responses of neutrophils after the exposure to the scaffold-decellularized bovine pericardium (collagen type I) crosslinked with genipin (DBPG). We demonstrated that DBPG activated neutrophils in whole blood causing respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase (MPO) secretion, and formation of neutrophil extracellular trap-like structures (NETs).

A defined road to tracheal reconstruction: laser structuring and cell support for rapid clinic translation.

One of the severe complications occurring because of the patient's intubation is tracheal stenosis. Its incidence has significantly risen because of the COVID-19 pandemic and tends only to increase. Here, we propose an alternative to the donor trachea and synthetic prostheses-the tracheal equivalent.

Design, Synthesis, and Molecular Docking Study of New Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) Inhibitors Combining Resin Acids and Adamantane Moieties.

In this paper, a series of novel abietyl and dehydroabietyl ureas, thioureas, amides, and thioamides bearing adamantane moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their inhibitory activities against tyrosil-DNA-phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1). The synthesized compounds were able to inhibit TDP1 at micromolar concentrations (0.19-2.

Data on nitrogen-containing derivatives of fumaropimaric acid.

The data presented here are related to the research paper entitled "Levopimaric Acid Derived 1,2-Diamines and Their Application in the Copper-Catalyzed Asymmetric Henry Reaction" [1]. In this data article, we provide H, C NMR and IR data for the diterpene derivatives described in [1]. The GC-MS analysis of pine oleoresin used as a starting material of the syntheses is also included in the data article.

[Extraenteric infection caused by Blastocystis spp. in a female patient with liver abscess].

The cases associated with the development of liver abscesses in a 64-year-old female patient after elective surgery for colon polyposis could form an opinion that extraenteric infection caused by Blastocystis spp. might develop in the immunocompromised host. The development of Blastocystis spp.
