AI Article Synopsis

  • Collagenase is a common treatment for Dupuytren contracture, a condition that affects hand function.
  • Current guidelines recommend manipulating the affected hand within 24 hours to 7 days post-injection.
  • This case report highlights a successful manipulation of the hand 28 days after the collagenase injection, suggesting potential flexibility in treatment timing.

Article Abstract

Collagenase is a popular treatment in Dupuytren contracture. Current guidelines are for manipulation 24 hours to 7 days after injection. We present a case of successful manipulation 28 days after injection.

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics often rely on separation techniques when analyzing complex biological specimens to improve method resolution, metabolome coverage, quantitative performance, and/or unknown identification. However, low sample throughput and complicated data preprocessing procedures remain major barriers to affordable metabolomic studies that are scalable to large populations. Herein, we introduce PeakMeister as a new software tool in the R statistical environment to enable standardized processing of serum metabolomic data acquired by multisegment injection-capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (MSI-CE-MS), a high-throughput separation platform (<4 min/sample) which takes advantage of a serial injection format of 13 samples within a single analytical run.

Early effects of α7nAChR regulation on maxillary expansion in mice : A study on osteogenesis and inflammatory factors.

J Orofac Orthop

December 2024

Department of Orthodontics, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University, 100050, Beijing, China.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate early effects of regulating alpha‑7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) agonists and antagonists on maxillary expansion in mice.

Methods: We allocated 36 six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice into three group: 1) expansion alone, 2) expansion plus the α7nAChR-specific agonist 3‑(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-anabaseine dihydrochloride (GTS-21), and 3) expansion plus alpha-bungarotoxin (α-BTX), a competitive antagonist of α7nAChR. The groups were daily injected with saline, GTS-21 (4 mg/kg/day) or α‑BTX (1 mg/kg/day), respectively, from days 0-7.

Background: Insulin pumps coupled with continuous glucose monitoring sensors use algorithms to analyze real-time blood glucose levels. This allows for the suspension of insulin administration before hypoglycemic thresholds are reached or for adaptive tuning in hybrid closed-loop systems. This longitudinal retrospective study aims to analyze real-world glycemic outcomes in a pediatric population transitioning to such devices.

Modified citrus pectin (MCP) modulates galectin-3, a key player in neuroinflammation linked to Alzheimer's disease. By inhibiting galectin-3, MCP reduces the brain's inflammatory response and may alleviate cognitive decline. This study examines MCP's impact on neuroinflammation, cognitive function, and its role in galectin-3 inhibition in a dementia model.
