AI Article Synopsis
- The anesthetic management involved two surgeries: one before takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) developed, and another during its healing stages.
- During the first surgery, 15 mg of 0.5% intrathecal bupivacaine was used successfully without complications.
- In contrast, the second surgery required vasopressor infusion to address hypotension and extrasystoles, even though a lower dose of 14.5 mg of bupivacaine was administered, indicating that cardiac function was likely more affected during TCM's healing stages.
Article Abstract
We experienced anesthetic management of a patient undergoing surgeries for bilateral femoral trochanter fractures before the onset and during the healing stages of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM). While performing the surgery before the onset of TCM, we administered 0.5% intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine 15 mg and the procedure was completed uneventfully. On the other hand, while performing the surgery during the healing stages of TCM, vasopressor infusion was required for treating hypotension with extrasystoles despite administrating only 14.5 mg of 0.05% intrathecal isobaric bupivacaine. It is therefore suggested that cardiac function during the healing stages of TCM was more compromised than before the onset of the disease.

Objective: Cervical cancer is a common malignancy among women, and radiotherapy remains a primary treatment modality across all disease stages. However, resistance to radiotherapy frequently results in treatment failure, highlighting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets to improve clinical outcomes.
Methods: The expression of molecule interacting with CasL-2 (MICAL2) was confirmed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines through western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Oral mucosal wounds are more prone to inflammation due to direct exposure to various microorganisms. This can result in pain, delayed healing, and other complications, affecting patients' daily activities such as eating and speaking. Consequently, the overall quality of life for patients is significantly reduced.

Recent studies demonstrated that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have promising prospects in promoting wound healing. In this study, we intend to investigate the pro-healing effect and potential molecular mechanism of topical administration of GLP-1RA liraglutide on wounds in normoglycemic mice. Two full-thickness wounds were created on the back of the C57BL/6 mice.

Background: The wound repair process for extensively deep burn patients is a recurring and highly challenging endeavor. A prolonged healing time beyond 3 weeks after injury often leads to compromised healing outcomes. The limited availability of autologous skin grafts remains the primary obstacle in achieving timely wound repair.

Burn care and treatment differ markedly from other types of wounds, as they are significantly more prone to infections and struggle to maintain fluid balance post-burn. Moreover, the limited self-healing abilities exacerbate the likelihood of scar formation, further complicating the recovery process. To tackle these issues, an asymmetric wound dressing comprising a quercetin-loaded poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P34HB@Qu) hydrophilic layer and a zinc oxide nanoparticle-loaded, thermally treated polyvinylidene fluoride (HPVDF@ZnO) hydrophobic layer is designed.
