High-pressure injection injury of the hand is a rare but severe emergency, which requires full attention and timely treatment. However, the early symptoms may not be obvious. As the swelling and necrosis progress, the condition gradually worsens, and in severe cases, it may end with amputation. We report a particular case of a hand injection injury, which occurred to a worker who worked overtime to produce disinfectant during the Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Because of the chemical toxicity of the disinfectant and pressure's damage, although the emergency debridement was promptly performed, we still lost some fingers in the end. In the existing disinfection product manuals, we have not seen any tips on dealing with tissue injection injury. It may reduce workers' attention to injuries, leading to delays in emergency operations.

Background: Externally caused traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses a woeful worldwide health concern, bringing about disability, death, and prolonged neurological impairment. Increased galectin-3 levels have been linked to unfavorable outcomes in several neurological conditions. This study explores the role of galectin-3 in TBI, specifically examining its contribution to neuroinflammation.

Aims: The present study aimed to investigate the direct link between trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and diastolic dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Materials And Methods: Diastolic dysfunction is the main manifestation of HFpEF, so the "two-hit" mouse HFpEF model are used. After treated with high-fat diet (HFD) and N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) for 8 weeks, the cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis, oxidative stress levels, and molecular alterations were assessed.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Guanxin II, proposed by Chen Keji (National master of traditional Chinese medicine), possesses cerebral-protective effect. Interestingly, its simplified prescription Danshen-Chuanxiong-Honghua (DCH) can also clinically ameliorate cerebral impairment and improve spatial cognitive deficits, similar to original formula's function.
Aim Of The Study: We aimed to elucidate the rationality of DCH's natural existence, qualitatively identify DCH-derived phytochemicals, thereby validate cerebral protective effect, and expose potential mechanism of DCH and its main absorbed compound ferulic acid (FA).

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has great potential to provide innovative medical solutions in the treatment of heart failure. Although lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are an established mRNA delivery system, effectively delivering LNPs to the heart remains a significant challenge. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of transcatheter intracoronary (IC) administration compared to intravenous (IV) and intramyocardial (IM) administration in normal and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) model rabbit hearts using LNPs encapsulating Firefly Luciferase (FLuc) mRNA.

Due to the inherent limited regenerative capacity of tendons, rendering countermeasures for tendon injury remains challenging. The pathophysiology of tendon healing is complex and contains three sequential phases including inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Aiming at the treatment of different stages of tendon injury, in our work, an injectable small intestinal submucosa hydrogel/sodium alginate microspheres (SIS/SA) composite co-encapsulating stromal cell derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and bone morphogenetic protein-12 (BMP-12) was developed for effective tendon regeneration.
