Objective: To screen the genes related with leukocyte responses in mice early after burn injury by bioinformatic analysis of the gene expression profiling data.
Methods: The gene expression profiles were obtained from GEO (GSE7404, Mouse musculus, 25% TBSA, full-thickness) database. T test, fold changes and GO functional enrichment analysis were used to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to leukocyte responses to burns; the interacting genes were transferred to STRING to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Biological annotation of the sub-networks was executed using the software Cytoscape. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to verify the DEGs in mice.
Results: In mice at 1 day post-burn, a total of 658 genes were up-regulated and 1167 were down-regulated. PPI network and module analysis suggested that some of the genes (Stat1, Cdk1, Cd19, Lck and Jun) may play critical roles in the PPI network post-burn. Real-time PCR and Western blotting results in mice were consistent with those of bioinformatic analysis of Stat1, Cdk1 and Jun.
Conclusion: Stat1, Cdk1 and Jun might be critical players in the development of leukocyte response in mice early after burn injury. Our finding provides new insights into the pathogenesis of leukocyte response to burn injury and identifies several biomarkers as potential targets for burn treatment.

Ocular surface chemical injuries often result in permanent visual impairment and necessitate complex, long-term treatments. Immediate and extensive irrigation serves as the first-line intervention, followed by various therapeutic protocols applied throughout different stages of the condition. To optimize outcomes, conventional regimens increasingly incorporate biological agents and surgical techniques.

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can reduce the need for intubation in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pneumonia induced acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF), but predictors of HFNC success could be characterized better. C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer are associated with COVID-19 severity and progression. However, no one has evaluated the use of serial CRP and D-dimer ratios to predict HFNC success.

Introduction: This systematic review aims to evaluate the optimal management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill surgical patients, specifically focusing on positioning, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use, ventilation, fluid resuscitation, and pharmacological treatments.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted utilizing four databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and ProQuest. This study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered with The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.

Nowadays, consent to use donor bodies for medical education and research is obtained from the body donors and their families before the donation. Recently, the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) published guidelines that could restrict the appearance of cadaveric images in commercial anatomical resources such as textbooks and other educational products. These guidelines state that the donor must expressly consent to using such images for this purpose.
