To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) in treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), we conducted both database searches (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science) and reference searches for randomised controlled trials from the inception of databases to 30 January 2020. Two reviewers independently scrutinised the trials, extracted data, and assessed the quality of trials. The primary outcome was the proportion of complete healing.

Objective: To investigate the effect of atractylenolide I on proliferation and apoptosis of U266 cells, and anti-multiple myeloma effect of bortezomib.
Methods: Bortezomib, bortezomib combined atractylenolide I and atractylenolide I at different concentrations were added into U266 cells respectively, cellular proliferation toxicity was evaluated by CCK-8 assay, apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by using flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of targeting gene Caspase-3,Caspase-9,BCL-2,BAX,JAK2,STAT3 and IL-6, respectively.
Finding an alternative to in-feed antibiotics is important because of increasing contemporary concern regarding drug residues and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that essential oils added to the feed would decrease diarrhea prevalence in post-weaned pigs. Ninety weaned piglets (initial body weight (BW): 8.

This study aimed to investigate miRNA-140-mediated negative regulation of MMP-13 expression in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated human cartilage cells.
Methods: The human cartilage cell line C28/I2 was cultured in the presence of IL-1β to mimic an osteoarthritic environment.
