Objective: To study the promotion effect of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) on the migration of epidermal stem cells (ESC) in the healing process of frostbite-wound model ex vivo.
Methods: A three-dimensional model of full-thickness frostbite of skin was constructed (with slot-like wound) out of skin equivalent. The expression of SDF-1 in wound stroma was observed with immunohistochemistry staining on post injury days (PID) 3 and 7. The model frostbite wounds were divided into control group (treated with PBS 50 microL per wound), SDF-1 group (treated with 100 ng/mL SDF-1, 50 microL per wound), and AMD3100 group [treated with 100 ng/mL AMD3100 (50 microL per wound) for 30 minutes, and then SDF-1 50 microL was added per wound]. The redistribution of ESC around wound was observed.
Results: The expression of SDF-1 in wound stroma increased gradually on PID 3 and 7. Compared with those in control and AMD3100 groups, there were more ESC and epithelial cell layers, and more integrin beta(1)-positive cells appeared at the basal layer of wound in SDF-1 group, and some of the positive cells migrated upward to epidermis.
Conclusions: SDF-1 contributes to wound repair through promoting ESC to migrate toward and gather around wound edge. This may be one of the mechanisms of ESC participating in wound repair.

Biological dressings with non-transfusion blood components are among the treatments available for pressure ulcers (PUs). Biological dressings contain active concentrated pro-regenerative molecules that can modify and switch off local inflammatory pathways. This re-establishes the physiological homing, which results in healing.

Objective: To explore the pathogenic mechanism of myoglobin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and apoptosis in tubular epithelial cells in acute kidney injury (AKI) mouse model of crush syndrome.
Methods: Eighteen C56BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, modeling 8 h group and modeling 24 h group. The AKI model of crush syndrome was established by intramuscular injection of 50% glycerol saline solution into thigh (8 microL/g), while equivalent volume of physiological saline was injected in control group.
Objective: To observe the effect of elongated-needle penetration (ENP) stimulation of "Zhibian" (BL 54), "Shuidao" (ST 28), "Qihai" (CV 6) and "Zhongji" (CV 3) on spinal nerve cell apoptosis and cellular signal transduction in spinal cord injury rabbits, so as to reveal its mechanism underlying improvement of spinal injury.
Methods: A total of 80 adult Newzealand rabbits were randomized to control, model, ENP, ENP + LY 294002 (PI3K antagonist), ENP + PD 98059 (MEK antagonist) groups, with 16 rabbits in each group. The spinal cord injury model was established by using modified Allen's method (Gravity-drop device).
