Objective: To explore the effects of the gelatin (Gt)/(polycaprolactam) PCL composite nanofiber scaffold on wound healing of full-thickness defect in rabbits.
Methods: Sixteen rabbits were inflicted with full-thickness skin open wounds on the back, and they were divided into A group (with treatment of Gt/PCL nanofiber membrane, 8 wounds), B group (with treatment of PCL fiber membrane, 8 wounds), and C group (with treatment of vaseline gauze, 8 wounds), the wounds in A , B groups served as self controls. Wound healing time was recorded. Wound healing rates were calculated on 3, 7, 10 post operation day (POD). Wound specimens and their adjacent skin were examined histologically on 3, 7, and 10 POD.
Results: There was obvious difference in wound healing time among A, B, C groups, and they were (18.2 +/- 1.3) d, (20.3 +/- 1.1) d, (22.0 +/- 0.6) d, respectively. Wound healing rate in A group was obviously higher than that in B, C group on 3, 7, 10 POD (P < 0.05). Compared with those in other groups, the proliferation of granulation tissue in dermis in A group was less, the epidermal cells were proliferated quickly, and collagen was arranged regularly.
Conclusion: Gt/PCL composite nanofiber membrane can promote wound healing of full-thickness skin defect in rabbits, which is an ideal material for tissue engineering.

BACKGROUND This study included 32 patients with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects and aimed to compare outcomes from guided bone regeneration with a gelatin/polylactic acid (GT/PLA) barrier membrane and a Guidor® bioresorbable matrix barrier dental membrane. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 32 participants were recruited in the clinical study, with single missing teeth and alveolar bone defects, requiring guided bone regeneration (32 missing teeth in total). They were randomly divided into the GT/PLA membrane group (experimental) and Guidor® membrane group (control) by the envelope method (n=16).

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate the role of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) in Hunner-type Interstitial Cystitis (HIC) and evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target.
Methods: Bladder tissue samples were obtained from HIC patients and normal bladder tissue from bladder cancer patients. PACAP expression was assessed through immunohistochemistry.

Introduction: Soft-tissue defect is commonly seen in immediate maxillary posterior implantation because of tooth extraction wound and tension from bone graft. Bone graft materials exposure has a significant detrimental influence on bone augmentation. However, previous studies lack sufficient evidence to guide wound closure after immediate posterior implantation.

Objectives/hypothesis: Vocal fold (VF) injury and chronic inflammation can progress to scarring, which is notoriously difficult to treat. Human amniotic fluid (AF) has potential for VF wound healing in a rabbit model, and we hypothesized that AF would demonstrate wound healing properties superior to hyaluronic acid (HA) over time.
Study Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Traditional wound care preparations frequently face challenges such as complex care protocols, poor patient compliance, limited skin permeability, lack of aesthetics, and inconvenience, in addition to the risk of bacterial infection. We developed a spray film preparation containing nanocellulose and L-serine modified nanosilver, capable of rapidly forming a transparent film on the skin within minutes of application. The incorporation of nanocellulose imparted protective, moisturizing, and breathable properties to the film, allowing for easy removal after use.
