Abstract Role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skin carcinogenesis is well documented. Natural molecules, like sesamol, with marked antioxidant potential can be useful in combating skin cancers. In vitro antiproliferative (using MTT assay) and DNA fragmentation studies in HL 60 cell lines, confirmed the apoptotic nature of sesamol. However, it showed a significant flux across the mice skin upon topical application, such that its local availability in skin is limited. Former is attributed mainly to its properties like small size, low molecular weight (138.28), and a sufficient lipid and water solubility (log P 1.29; solubility 38.8 mg/ml). To achieve its maximum epicutaneous delivery, packaging it into a suitable carrier system is thus indicated. Sesamol-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (S-SLN) were thus prepared with particle size of 127.9 nm (PI: 0.256) and entrapment efficiency of 88.21%. Topical application of S-SLN in a cream base indicated significant retention in the skin with minimal flux across skin as confirmed by the in-vivo skin retention and ex-vivo skin permeation studies. In vivo anticancer studies performed on TPA-induced and benzo(a)pyrene initiated tumour production (ROS mediated) in mouse epidermis showed the normalization (in histology studies) of skin cancers post their induction, upon treatment with S-SLN.

Transcriptome of capsular contracture around breast implants mimics allograft rejection: a matched case-control study.
Plast Reconstr Surg
December 2024
Copenhagen University Hospital, Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns Treatment, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Capsular contracture is a frequent and severe complication following breast implant surgery. Although several theories on the pathophysiology exist, the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific genes, signaling pathways, and immune cells associated with capsular contracture.

Background: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), when in synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, or patient-triggered ventilation modes, is known to be a cause of facial, nasal, head, and skin pressure injuries in preterm infants.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of using a checklist with preterm infants under nasal NIMV in preventing facial, nasal, and head pressure injuries.
Method: The study was conducted quasi-experimentally on preterm infants under NIMV.
Effectiveness and safety of talimogene laherparepvec and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for metastatic melanoma: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Melanoma Res
February 2025
Department of Public Health, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University.
Melanoma is an aggressive tumor that is challenging to treat. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), the first oncolytic virus treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat unresectable melanoma, was recently used in recurrent tumors after initial surgery. Our network meta-analysis aimed to compare T-VEC treatment of metastatic melanoma with treatment of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and control group.

December 2024
Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Campus Bio-Medico University Hospital, Rome, Italy.
Background: Evidence-based medicine and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are helpful tools in the wound care field, but few studies correlating quality of life (QoL) changes with objective changes exist.
Objective: To investigate the QoL changes following the shift from primary dressings alone to elastic compression bandages in patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, and to evaluate a possible correlation between objective and subjective changes.
Materials And Methods: This study included 122 patients with a new diagnosis of vascular skin ulcer, who had previously used only primary dressings alone.

Dermatology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Bologna, Italy; Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Background: Caustic substances can inflict severe damage on tissues upon contact. Knowledge about skin damage caused by sodium hypochlorite is quite limited, with only a few reports available in the literature.
Case Report: A 79-year-old female with severe cognitive decline presented with multiple skin ulcerations that were covered by a blackish-greyish eschar and surrounded by a purple erythematous halo.
