Glyptothorax heokheei, a new species of sisorid catfish is described from the Brahmaputra River drainage in India. It can be distinguished from all congeners, exceptG. dikrongensis,G. indicus,G. rugimentumandG. obliquimaculatus, in having the unculiferous striae of thoracic adhesive apparatus extending anteriorly onto gular region.Glyptothorax heokheeiis distinguished fromG. dikrongensisandG. obliquimaculatusin having a slender body at the anus, more serrations on posterior margin of pectoral-fin spine, greater number of branched anal fin rays, and the extremity of dorsoposterior margin of adipose fin uniformly convex (vs. sharply angular). It differs fromG. rugimentumin having a chevron-shaped (vs. rhomboidal) thoracic adhesive apparatus, more serrations on posterior margin of pectoral-fin spine, and lacking vertical bars on body.Glyptothorax heokheeidiffers fromG. indicusin having a shorter post-adipose distance, smaller interorbital width, more serrations on posterior margin of pectoral-fin spine and nasal barbel not reaching (vs. reaching) anterior margin of eye.Glyptothorax heokheeiis the fifth species ofthe genuspossessing unculiferous ridges of thoracic adhesive apparatus extending anteriorly onto the gular region.

Could Fibrin Sealants (TISSEEL) Be Effective in the Management of Burn Injuries? A Histopathological Study in Rats.
Med Sci (Basel)
December 2024
Laboratory of Experimental Surgery and Surgical Research "N.S. Christeas", School of Medicine, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 11527 Athens, Greece.
Burn injuries remain a major clinical problem worldwide, which require special management by experienced plastic surgeons. However, they cannot be available in every healthcare unit; consequently, there is a need for effective treatment options that could be utilized by a wide range of non-expert healthcare professionals. The aim of the present experimental study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of using a fibrin sealant (TISSEEL) compared to the conventional treatment with sulfadiazine on partial-thickness burn in a rat animal model.

Objective: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a highly lethal hepatobiliary malignancy with an increasing incidence annually. Extensive research has elucidated the existence of a reciprocal interaction between platelets and cancer cells, which promotes tumor proliferation and metastasis. This study aims to investigate the function and mechanism underlying iCCA progression driven by the interplay between platelets and tumor cells, aiming to provide novel therapeutic strategies for iCCA.

Background: Air leakage during pulmonary resection is a major complication in thoracic surgery. It frequently occurs at sites of adhesion dissection, due to lung manipulation, and along the staple lines of automatic suturing devices, particularly in cases of pulmonary fragility such as those of emphysema and interstitial pneumonia. Persistent postoperative air leakage prolongs chest tube indwelling and extends hospitalization time.

Aortic aneurysm and dissection pose fatal threats but no effective drug therapies are available. Previous work has been directed to reduce risk factors or target key pathological events, but none of the translational efforts succeeds. Here, we attempt to repurpose dimethyl fumarate (DMF), an FDA-approved immunomodulatory drug for multiple sclerosis, for the treatment of aortic aneurysm and dissection.

Metastasis is the leading cause of mortality from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). By the time of diagnosis, most ESCC tumors have already invaded the lymph nodes or distant organs; however, it has been challenging to identify and confirm genes with a crucial role in ESCC metastasis. The microfibrillar-associated protein 2 (MFAP2) is upregulated in human ESCC, and its expression level was positively associated with poor overall and disease-free survival.
