The present study aimed to associate troxerutin (TRX) with polysaccharides from Agaricus blazei Murill mushroom (PolyAb) in alginate/PVA films and evaluate their effect on wound healing. The physicochemical, mechanical, morphological, and water vapor barrier properties of the films were studied, and their biological potential was analyzed in vivo using the full-thickness wound healing model. The association between TRX and PolyAb present in the polymeric film contributed to increased thermal stability, mechanical resistance, and elasticity when compared to films without TRX, which indicated good miscibility of the excipients. In the in vivo tests, the TRX films promoted greater collagen deposition and repair of epidermis and dermis layers. The 0.25 % TRX film showed an increase in reduced glutathione levels, while the 1.0 % TRX film reduced lipid peroxidation and production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, demonstrating the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect of TRX films. Therefore, it is estimated that the film containing 1 % TRX can be used as biocurative for wound dressing applications.

Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication that occurs primarily in surgically treated fractures. FRIs occur when bacteria enter the site of bony injury and alter the healing inflammatory response within the bone. This can prevent bone regeneration and can lead to long-lasting complications such as chronic infection, pain, nonunion, and amputation.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare, chronic, neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by painful ulcers that are often misdiagnosed as wound infections. We report two cases of postsurgical PG following breast surgery: A 46-year-old woman with a non-healing ulcer after a breast biopsy and a 37-year-old woman with wound dehiscence after bilateral reduction mammoplasty. Both cases were initially managed with repeated debridements, antibiotics, and wound care without improvement.

Importance: Wound complications after obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) can amplify morbidity and affect quality of life.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate for characteristics associated with wound complications after OASI.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with an OASI who were evaluated in a postpartum pelvic floor healing clinic between November 1, 2020, and May 16, 2023.

HOXD13, a member of the homeobox gene family, plays a critical role in developmental processes and has been implicated in various malignancies, including pancreatic cancer and glioma. However, its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the potential of HOXD13 as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for OSCC.
