Several biochemical parameters including ornithine decarboxylase activity (ODC) and tissue polyamine levels were measured during the hexadecane-induced epidermal hyperplasia of hairless rat skin. Animals received three applications of 200 microliters pure n-hexadecane on day 1. ODC activity and polyamine levels (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) in the epidermis were significantly increased and reached maximum elevations at 12 h after the start of n-hexadecane treatment with DNA synthesis peaking at 24 h. Histological studies confirmed a significant cellular edema at 24 h after the beginning of the treatment followed at 48 h by an epidermal hyperplasia which was maximum at 72 h. These data support the view that ODC activation, increased biosynthesis of polyamines and DNA are early events in epidermal cell hyperproliferation.

An epidemiological study spanning twelve years has revealed that sheeppox disease is both widespread and endemic, predominantly surging during the winter and summer seasons. This investigation focused on sheeppox across 11 field outbreaks, involving 889 animals from non-migratory flocks across six districts in Karnataka, in the southern peninsula of India. Among these, 105 animals exhibited clinical signs suggestive of sheeppox, such as lesions on the body, and 95 cases were confirmed through PCR testing.

Background: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory disease, and genetic, immune, oxidative stress (OS), and environmental factors are all thought to contribute to its occurrence. Proanthocyanidins (PCs) are natural flavonoids consisting of catechins and epicatechins which have anti-inflammatory and anti-OS activities. PCs have been widely used to treat various diseases, but reports regarding psoriasis are rare.

To establish mechanical stress-induced hypertrophic scar mouse models, and to examine the roles of interleukin-6/signal transduction and activator of transcription 3 (IL-6/STAT3) pathway and β-catenin. The experimental research method was used. Sixteen female C57/BL6 mice of 12-week-old were collected and two straight full-thickness skin incisions of 2 cm in length were inflicted on the back of each mouse.
