Prevention of supercritical carbon dioxide fluid extract from Linnén on cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas progression following UV irradiation in mice.

Linnén (), a medicinal and food herb with various bioactive components, may be of beneficial use in cosmetics and the treatment of skin-related diseases. However, to date, few studies have been reported on its potential preventive and therapeutic effects on skin cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect and potential mechanism of action of supercritical carbon dioxide extract from (CI) on UV-induced skin cancer in a mouse model.

Electrochemical Dehydrogenative Phosphorylation of Thiols.

We report herein a new approach for the synthesis of organothiophosphates from phosphonates and thiols through electrochemical reaction. The reactions were conducted without the addition of oxidant, transition-metal base, or base at room temperature. This system has a good substrate scope and functional group tolerance.

Combined effects of artificial dermis and vascular endothelial growth factor concentration gradient on wound healing in diabetic porcine model.

Wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus are one of the most prevalent impaired wounds in the world. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most important proangiogenic mediators. Artificial dermal (AD) such as Pelnac has been shown, in humans and animal models, a great therapeutic potential in full-thickness skin wounds.

Hair transplantation for the treatment of lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia: A report of two cases.

The efficacy of current medical treatments for lichen planopilaris (LPP) and its variant, frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), both lymphocyte-mediated primary cicatricial alopecias, is limited. Hair regrowth from scar tissue is usually not possible. Although hair transplantation restores the hairline and increases hair density in patients with cicatricial alopecia, the timing of the transplantation is crucial.

Presenile diffuse familial sebaceous hyperplasia successfully treated with low-dose isotretinoin: A report of two cases and review of the published work.

Presenile diffuse familial sebaceous hyperplasia (PDFSH) presents as extensive yellowish papules with central umbilication on the face without involvement of periorificial regions and occurs in adolescents or young adults with a positive family history. Thirteen cases of PDFSH have been reported in the English-language published work, 10 of which responded to oral isotretinoin from 0.5 to 1 mg/kg per day but recurrences were often observed.
