The skin plays a protective role against harmful environmental stress such as UV rays. Therefore, the skin is constantly exposed to potential injuries, and wound healing is a vital process for the survival of all higher organisms. Wound healing is dependent on aging and metabolic status at a whole-body level. Because the FOXO family plays a role in aging and metabolism, we investigated the molecular functions of FOXO3A in skin wound healing using FoxO3a mice. We observed that FoxO3a mice showed accelerated skin wound healing. During wound healing, more fibroblasts accumulated at the wound edges and migrated into the wound bed in FoxO3a mice. Moreover, cell migration of dermal fibroblasts isolated from FoxO3a mice was significantly induced. During the in vitro cell migration, we observed accelerated mitochondrial fragmentation and decreased oxygen consumption in the mitochondria of FoxO3a fibroblasts. These changes were caused by the upregulation of mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1, which is an essential mediator of microtubule-based mitochondrial motility. Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 inhibition significantly attenuated cell migration, mitochondrial fragmentation, and mitochondrial recruitment to the leading edge of the cells. These data indicate that FOXO3A plays a crucial role in wound healing by regulating mitochondrial dynamics.

Background: Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe soft tissue infection typified by swiftly spreading necrosis of the fascia and subcutaneous fat with successive necrosis of the skin which affects all age groups.
Objective: To compare the clinical presentation and treatment outcome of NF between children and adults.
Materials And Methods: A prospective descriptive study of all patients presenting with NF to the (Usmanu Danfodiyo Univrersity Teaching Hospital, Sokoto), from September 2018 to August 2019.

Background: Lung cancer is a life-threatening disease that occurs worldwide, but is especially common in China. The crucial role of the tumour microenvironment (TME) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has attracted recent attention. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the main factors that contribute to the TME function, and CAF exosomes are closely linked to NSCLC.

Background: To investigate SCL/TAL 1 interrupting locus ()'s role and prognostic significance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression, we examined and E2 promoter binding factor 1 (E2F1) expression and their impacts on LUAD prognosis using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA).
Methods: Functional assays including CCK-8, wound-healing, 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine (EdU), Transwell assays, and flow cytometry, elucidated and E2F1's effects on cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, and migration. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified potential pathways, while metabolic assays assessed glucose metabolism.

Purpose: During fixed orthodontic treatment, oral hygiene is difficult to ensure and can easily lead to an imbalance in the oral micro-ecological balance. In this study, based on the adhesive properties of polydopamine (PDA) and the good antimicrobial and remineralization properties of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and xylitol (Xy), new nanocomposites with both antimicrobial and remineralization capabilities were prepared to coat on orthodontic brackets.
Methods: Composite carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized using carboxymethyl chitosan and xylitol, we characterized them and the antimicrobial properties of the CMC-Xy-CDs were investigated by co-cultivation with S.
