Background: Diabetic skin defect is difficult to manage in surgical clinics, and there is still lack of effective treatments for diabetic skin defects. Currently, autologous fat grafting (AFG) is promising in the field of reconstructive surgery, while macrophage infiltration in autologous adipose tissue is considered vital for tissue regeneration. But AFG is rarely applied to the treatment of diabetic skin defects, and whether macrophage infiltration assists AFG to promote wound healing is still unknown.

Methods: Full-thickness skin defect diabetic rats were divided into 3 groups: control group, autologous fat grafting (AFG) group and AFG with macrophage depletion (AFG+MD) group. We examined the amount of macrophages in the wounds bed and the expression level of inflammatory factors IL-10, IL-6, TNF-α, and also growth factors PDGF-β, TGF-β, IGF-1 at the same time. The content of collagen-I and α-smooth muscle actin protein in the wounds were determined by Western blot analysis. Finally, the healing of the wounds was evaluated.

Results: The AFG group showing more rapid healing, secreting more growth factors and more obvious vascularization in the healing process, compared with the control group. But, the secretion of growth factors and the construction of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the wounds were limited when macrophages were depleted after AFG.

Conclusion: AFG promotes the infiltration of macrophages to improve the healing environment of diabetic wounds by increasing the secretion of growth factors and revascularization, which provides a potential method for the treatment of diabetic skin defects.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most harmful pathogens in the swine industry. Our previous studies demonstrated that the small extracellular domain (ECL2) of CLDN4 effectively blocks PRRSV infection. In this study, we explored the in vivo administration of swine ECL2 (sECL2) and found that it blocked HP-PRRSV infection and alleviated histopathological changes in organs.

Metabolic reprogramming, the shifting from fatty acid oxidation to glucose utilization, improves cardiac function as heart failure (HF) progresses. Leptin plays an essential role in regulating glucose metabolism. However, the crosstalk between leptin and metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood.

Childhood obesity is a growing global concern due to its long-term health consequences. Yet, more research relying on multiple time-point BMI measurements is warranted to gain further insight into obesity's temporal trends. We aimed to identify BMI trajectories in children aged 2-10 years and evaluate their association with sociodemographic factors.
