A study was made of microbial contamination of wounds and wound fluid in 114 patients operated upon (clean and conditionally clean operations). Directly before suturing the subcutaneous-fatty cellular tissue no microbes were revealed in 50% of cases, but in 23% of cases potentially pathogenetic microorganisms were isolated. Potential causative agents of purulent infection were revealed in 50% of the patients on the 1st-3rd postoperative days. Suppuration developed in 3 cases only. In a number of cases there were revealed in the wound discharge such microbes which were not detected before the wound was sutured. Sometimes the presence of even numerous potentially-pathogenic microbes in the wound secretion led to no suppuration.

Background: In continuation of our chemical and biological work on Tithonia tubaeformis, we evaluated the antipyretic activity of its extract which on fractionation gives a pure alkaloid galegine. Galegine a bioprivileged compound, is a hemiterpene bearing a guanidine group, which holds significant importance in medicinal chemistry. Biological activities such as antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, anticancer, and antihypertensive, are often associated with guanidine-containing molecules.

Recently, seaweed extracts have been found to have potential in skin benefits. This study, therefore, aimed to explore phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and wound healing properties of brown seaweed ethanolic extract (SPEE) on human skin keratinocyte HaCaT cells and the possible mechanism involved. Our results indicated that SPEE contained flavonoid, phenolic, and carotenoid as the major active constituents.

Resistance of cancer cells, especially breast cancer, to therapeutic medicines represents a major clinical obstacle that impedes the stages of treatment. Carcinoma cells that acquire resistance to therapeutic drugs can reprogram their own metabolic processes as a way to overcome the effectiveness of treatment and continue their reproduction processes. Despite the recent developments in medical research in the field of drug resistance, which showed some explanations for this phenomenon, the real explanation, along with the ability to precisely predict the possibility of its occurrence in breast cancer cells, still necessitates a deep consideration of the dynamics of the tumor's response to treatment.
