Carboxymethyl chitosan-methacrylic acid gelatin hydrogel for wound healing and vascular regeneration.

At present, wound dressings in clinical applications are primarily used for superficial skin wounds. However, these dressings have significant limitations, including poor biocompatibility and limited ability to promote wound healing. To address the issue, this study used aldehyde polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent to design a carboxymethyl chitosan-methacrylic acid gelatin hydrogel with enhanced biocompatibility, which can promote wound healing and angiogenesis.

Virtual versus jaw simulation in inlay preparation preclinical teaching: a randomised controlled trial.

Background: To investigate the effect of virtual simulation systems on the teaching of inlay experiments and to guide the experimental teaching of tooth preparation.

Methods: Participants in their second semester of the junior year were selected to carry out the unified teaching and evaluation of dental preparation theory. The age varied from 18 to 22 years (19.

Rhein ameliorates septic lung injury and intervenes in macrophage metabolic reprogramming in the inflammatory state by Sirtuin 1.

Aims: Sepsis is an organ dysfunction syndrome caused by the maladjustment of response to infection. Acute lung injury (ALI) appears the earliest, with urgent onset and limited treatments. Previous pharmacological studies have found that rhein (RH), an active ingredient rich in rhubarb, has multiple pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-infection and metabolic regulation.

Long non-coding RNAs MALAT1 and NEAT1 in non-syndromic orofacial clefts.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are thought to play important roles in non-syndromic orofacial clefts (NSOFC). Clinical diagnosis was categorized as either non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P), or non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO). Tissues excised from the trimmed wound edge were reserved as experimental samples; adjacent normal control was used as a positive control, and tissue from healthy individuals was used as a blank control.
