The success rate of flap tissue reconstruction has increased in recent years owing to advancements in microsurgical techniques. However, complications, such as necrosis, are still more prevalent in diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic individuals, presenting an ongoing challenge. To address this issue, many previous studies have examined vascular anastomoses dilation and stability, primarily concerning surgical techniques or drugs.

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by the destruction and necrosis of skeletal muscle tissue, resulting in acute kidney injury (AKI). Recombinant antithrombin (rAT) has DNA repair and vascular endothelial-protection properties. Herein, we investigated whether rAT therapy has beneficial effects against rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the role of neutrophils in acute pancreatitis, a challenging inflammatory disease caused by activated pancreatic enzymes and inflammatory responses.
  • - Researchers used a caerulein-induced pancreatitis model in both wild-type and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor knockout mice, revealing significant differences in survival and inflammation levels.
  • - Results showed that G-CSF-KO mice had a much lower survival rate and prolonged inflammation, suggesting that neutrophils play a crucial role in tissue cleanup and healing during acute pancreatitis.

In diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, the morbidity of infectious disease is increased, and these infections can easily progress from local to systemic infection. Sepsis is a characteristic of organ failure related to microcirculation disorders resulting from endothelial cell injury, whose most frequent comorbidity in patients is DM. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of infection on DM-induced microvascular damage on inflammation and pulmonary endothelial structure using an experimental endotoxemia model.
