Purpose: In this report we record the first surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis case related to trabeculectomy with the use of Ologen Collagen Matrix Implant.

Observations: Surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis is a rare pathological entity that complicates ocular (sclera) surgery.

Conclusions And Importance: Prompt management of surgically induced Necrotizing Scleritis related to trabeculectomy with the use of Ologen and close follow up is very important to prevent its destructive nature on the globe.

This study investigates the role of flavonoid Icaritin (ICT) in estrogen-deficient ovariectomized (OVX) female mice by activating the Estrogen receptor (ER)/ Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway, potentially delaying Parkinson's disease (PD) progression post-castration. Seventy-five 8-week-old C57BL/6J female mice underwent ovariectomy, followed by MPTP (20 mg/kg) injection for 7 days. ICT (20 mg/kg) was administered for 14 days, and motor function was assessed using various behavioral tests.

SAA3 deficiency exacerbates intestinal fibrosis in DSS-induced IBD mouse model.

Cell Death Discov

Intestinal fibrosis, as a late-stage complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leads to bowel obstruction and requires surgical intervention, significantly lowering the quality of life of affected patients. SAA3, a highly conserved member of the serum amyloid A (SAA) apolipoprotein family in mice, is synthesized primarily as an acute phase reactant in response to infection, inflammation and trauma. An increasing number of evidence suggests that SAA3 exerts a vital role in the fibrotic process, even though the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully comprehended.

Burn-related neuropathic pain (BRNP) can arise following burn-induced nerve damage, affects approximately 6% of burned human patients and can result in chronic pain. Although widely studied in humans, data on BRNP or its treatment in animals is lacking. A 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented with an infected, non-healing wound suspected to be a caustic burn.

Department of Clinical Chemistry, Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Electronic address:

Background: Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) persists beyond the expected healing period after surgery, imposing a substantial burden on overall patient well-being. Unfortunately, CPSP often remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. To better understand the mechanism of CPSP development, we aimed to identify genetic variants associated with CPSP.

Induction of sepsis in a rat model by the cecal ligation and puncture technique. Application for the study of experimental acute renal failure.

Methods Cell Biol

January 2025

Renal Physiopathology Laboratory, Department of Nephrology, Instituto Investigación Sanitaria Gregorio Marañón, Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Madrid, Spain; Department of Physiology, School of Medicine, Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection, and its occurrence is associated with a poor prognosis in the context of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Although there are several animal models for the study of its etiology, the cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model has been considered the "Gold standard" because it shows a high degree of similarity to the progression of human sepsis. Currently, it is one of the most frequently chosen options to search for therapeutic alternatives to diminish the progression and organ damage induced by sepsis.
