This study was aimed to investigate the antioxidant effects of Syzygium cumini (S. cumini) seeds extract along with wound healing score in correlation to glutathione and blood glucose levels in diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 8 groups (n=6) and diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (40 mg kg-1 body weight). An alcoholic extract of S. cumini was administered to punch plier induced wounded rats and changes in serum glutathione levels, wound healing score and blood glucose levels were examined. Laser treatment of 500 mW for 5 minutes was given once a day for 12 days at 810 and 630 nm respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using one way ANOVA. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant and p-value <0.001 was considered highly significant. There was significant increase in glutathione levels and wound healing score when S. cumini extract was administered oral and topical along with topical laser therapy. There was significant reduction in the blood glucose levels upon administration of S. cumini extract in diabetic rats. This study concludes that there was a positive relation between the glutathione levels and wound healing score, since there was increase in wound healing score with the increase in the glutathione levels.

Background: Kidney tumors, common in the urinary system, have widely varying survival rates post-surgery. Current prognostic methods rely on invasive biopsies, highlighting the need for non-invasive, accurate prediction models to assist in clinical decision-making.
Purpose: This study aimed to construct a K-means clustering algorithm enhanced by Transformer-based feature transformation to predict the overall survival rate of patients after kidney tumor resection and provide an interpretability analysis of the model to assist in clinical decision-making.

Purpose: Tibial open shaft fractures are very common and susceptible to infection, which can lead to significant morbidity especially infection and non-union. Antibiotic coated nail is one option for fixing open shaft tibial fractures to minimise infection. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcome of Gentamicin-coated tibial nails versus regular unreamed interlocking tibial nails in the treatment of type I and II tibial open fractures.

Dissecting the spatial heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) is vital for understanding tumor biology and therapeutic design. By combining pathological image analysis with spatial proteomics, we revealed two stromal archetypes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with different biological functions and extracellular matrix compositions. Using paired single-cell RNA and epigenomic sequencing with Stereo-seq, we revealed two fibroblast subsets CAF-FAP and CAF-C7, whose spatial enrichment strongly correlated with the two stromal archetypes and opposing patient prognosis.

Uncontrollable bleeding poses a significant risk of death and cost in wars, vehicle accidents, and first aid. Hence, in order to seal uncontrollable bleeding and promote wound healing, the Fe-driven chitosan quaternary ammonium salt self-gelling powder (QPF) was prepared using 5%QCS/AA/Fe with the 52.72 % ± 0.
