AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how neovascularization (the formation of new blood vessels) relates to non-healing wounds in diabetic rats after they experience scald injuries.
- Two groups of rats were used: a control group treated with saline and a diabetic group treated with streptozocin, then both groups were given scald injuries.
- Results showed that diabetic rats had significantly slower wound healing rates and lower levels of neovascularization compared to controls, despite having a similar number of vascular endothelial cells that failed to form functional capillaries.
Article Abstract
Objective: To study the relationship between the degree of neovascularization and non-healing wounds in scalded rats with diabetic mellitus.
Methods: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group (C, n = 30, with treatment of isotonic saline) and streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic group (D, n = 30, with treatment of STZ), and then they were inflicted with 20% TBSA deep partial thickness scald. Wound specimens were harvested immediately after scald and on 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21 post scald days (PSD) to observe histological changes, and wound healing rates were calculated. Degree of neovascularization in wound (labeled with blue microsphere) and the quantity of vascular endothelial cells (labeled with red CD31) were also measured by double-labeling immunofluorescence.
Results: Compared with those in C group, Wound healing rate and histological value scores were lowered, and the degree of neovascularization was abated markedly at each time point. The degree of neovascularization in D group (12.00 +/- 1.40) was obviously lower than that in C group on 7 PSD (60.00 +/- 3.00, P <0.01). There was no obvious difference in the number of vascular endothelial cells in both groups, however, the majority of endothelial cells had not formed functional capillaries in D group.
Conclusion: Vascular endothelial cell can proliferate actively with poor blood supply in diabetic nonhealing with deep partial-thickness scald wounds, but it is still poor in blood supply due to lack of functional capillaries.

Background: Regenerative endodontics' primary objective is to establish a favorable environment in the root canal by removing infection, providing a sturdy scaffold, and sealing the apical end of the tooth tightly. These actions should promote pulp regeneration and root development.
Aim: This study evaluated histologically the regenerative potential of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel or collagen with blood clot as scaffolds during revascularization of immature necrotic dog's teeth.

Department of Radiology, The Second Hospital, Dalian Medical University, 467 Zhongshan Rd, Dalian, 116023, China.
Background: The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD) have been widely employed as angiogenesis indicators in the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. While diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (H-MRS) imaging hold potential in assessing angiogenesis in other tumors, their reliability in correlating with angiogenesis in soft tissue sarcomas remains uncertain, contingent upon accurately acquiring the region of interest (ROI).
Methods: 23 patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) confirmed by pathology were selected, underwent DKI and H-MRS at 3.

Objective: To evaluate the indicators of an animal model of gouty arthritis (GA) with dampness heat accumulation and the intervention effect of Tongfeng Qingxiao formula (, TFQXF).
Methods: Seventy-two healthy adult Sprague?Dawley male rats were selected and randomly divided into a normal group, model group, low-dose group, medium-dose group, high-dose group, and diclofenac group using a random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. After group intervention, the general condition of the rats in each group was monitored and recorded, and the swelling index was measured.

Purpose: To test to what degree retinal fluid (RF) after the loading phase and at the end of year 1 predicts long-term functional outcomes in neovascular macular degeneration (nAMD), as do macular (MA) atrophy, treatment density and treatment interval extension.
Methods: In this retrospective single-center cohort study, a consecutive series of eyes with treatment-naïve nAMD followed under a treat-and-extend (T&E) protocol followed over ≥2 years. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), presence of retinal fluid (RF) and macular atrophy (MA) were registered along with central retinal thickness (CRT) and treatment density over time.
