We have studied the effect of dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) on blood lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system under experimental thermal trauma (burn) conditions in three groups of rats, each containing 10 animals. Group 1 was intact control, groups 2 and 3 were subjected to model thermal trauma, and group 3 were daily intraperitoneally injected with 3 ml of 0.3 mM of aqueous DNIC solution for 10 days. In addition, the DNIC solution action was studied in vitro on isolated human blood with oxidative stress conditions induced by high doses of ozone. All blood samples (both in vitro and in vivo) were characterized with respect to lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant activity, and erythrocyte resistance to peroxidation. It is established that DNIC leads to optimization of blood pro- and antioxidant systems in animals subjected to thermal trauma associated with pronounced oxidative stress. This effect was manifested by clear reduction (normalization) of lipid peroxidation with noticeable increase in the antioxidant potential of blood plasma. This tendency was also observed for erythrocyte membranes. The antioxidant action of DNIC was also confirmed by the results of in vitro experiments on human blood with model of oxidative stress.

Severe burn injuries are among the most traumatic and physically debilitating conditions, impacting nearly every organ system and resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given their complexity and the involvement of multiple organs, various animal models have been created to replicate different facets of burn injury. Methods used to produce burned surfaces vary among experimental animal models.

In wildland firefighting, the air gap (AG) between clothing and the human body can effectively decrease heat transferred to skin but has a negative impact on thermal aging of clothing. Heat transfer to skin from a fire source can led to burn injuries and heat is transmitted between adjacent AGs parallel to the skin surface. An open AG simulator was developed to explore the dual effects of the AG on fabric thermal aging and skin thermal protection.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant tumor associated with poor patient outcomes and a limited availability of therapeutic agents. Scutellarein (SCU) is a monomeric flavone bioactive compound with potent anti-cancer activity. However, the effects and mechanisms of SCU on the growth of OS remain unknown.

Background: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a primary cause of evaporative dry eye disease (DED), which is often exacerbated by cataract surgery due to surgical trauma and inflammation. Thermal pulsation therapy (TPT) aims to enhance meibomian gland function and relieve dry eye symptoms. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of TPT in managing dry eye symptoms associated with cataract surgery.

This review was written to be included in the Special Collection 'Therapy Ultrasound: Medicine's Swiss Army Knife?' The purpose of this review is to provide basic presentation and interpretation of the fundamentals of hyperthermia biology, as it pertains to uses of therapeutic ultrasound. The fundamentals are presented but in the setting of a translational interpretation and a view toward the future. Subjects that require future research and development are highlighted.
