Inhibitory effects of alcohols on the activity of human matrix metalloproteinase 7 (matrilysin).

Published: December 2004

Aliphatic alcohols inhibited the activity of human matrix metalloproteinase 7 (matrilysin) competitively with K(i) of 6.1-19.4% (v/v) or 0.66-4.80 M. From the relationship between the structures of alcohols and their K(i) values, alcohols are considered to bind the hydrophobic S1' subsite most plausibly, and the size of the pocket was estimated to be large enough to accommodate the length of 1-butanol (4-carbon chain) and the bulk of tertiary alcohols. Alcohols might be suitable probes for exploring the active-site geometry of enzymes.

The role of striatal pathways in cognitive processing is unclear. We studied dorsomedial striatal cognitive processing during interval timing, an elementary cognitive task that requires mice to estimate intervals of several seconds and involves working memory for temporal rules as well as attention to the passage of time. We harnessed optogenetic tagging to record from striatal D2-dopamine receptor-expressing medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) in the indirect pathway and from D1-dopamine receptor-expressing MSNs (D1-MSNs) in the direct pathway.

Franco Basaglia's work is the cornerstone of the radical psychiatric movement in Italy. This culminated in the "Basaglia Law" of 1978, which aimed to abolish closed psychiatric institutions. In addition to becoming a symbolic place of movement, Trieste is still trying to preserve and put into practice the Basaglian tradition.

How Should We Use Hyaluronidase for Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?

J Cosmet Dermatol

January 2025

Division in Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Department of Oral Biology, Human Identification Research Institute, BK21 FOUR Project, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, Seoul, Korea.

Background: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are commonly used in esthetic medicine for facial contouring and rejuvenation. However, complications such as overcorrection, vascular occlusion, and irregular filler distribution necessitate the use of hyaluronidase to dissolve the fillers. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronidase in degrading different types of HA fillers and provide clinical guidelines for its use based on filler type, dosage, and application techniques.
