Proliferating and migrating effects of regenerating sea anemone cells-derived exosomes on human skin fibroblasts.

Regenerative effects of sea anemone-derived exosomes on human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs) were investigated. Water-based extracts from regenerating tissue were collected at various time points, and exosomes were extracted after inducing wounds. Both the extract and exosomes were tested on HFF for proliferation and wound healing.

ANALYSIS OF RISK FACTORS FOR ISCHEMIC STROKE IN RURAL RESIDENTS OF THE AKTOBE REGION.

Stroke continues to be a major global health concern, accounting for the fifth highest death rate and a sizable portion of the world's disability burden. Over 40,000 stroke cases are reported annually in the Republic of Kazakhstan, of which 5,000 people die within the first 10 days and an additional 5,000 within a month after discharge. Even with the establishment of regional stroke centers, a state anti-stroke program, and substantial efforts, rural communities still experience higher rates of stroke-related morbidity and mortality.

The study aimed to present the survey results identifying attitudes toward vaccination against COVID-19 among the population of West Kazakhstan, the level of confidence in the national QazVac vaccine, and the role of different sources of information on COVID-19 in decision-making concerning vaccination. A computer-assisted survey was conducted using WhatsApp messenger.

Tissue clearing and three-dimensional imaging of intact tissues: a review on FACT protocol.

FACT is a developed technique for clearing tissues that does not use acrylamide. Since the removal of lipids is crucial for transparency and efficient antibody staining throughout the tissue, especially for microscopy and imaging, it is a harmful process that can cause the loss of important biological molecules such as proteins. The FACT technique overcomes this by chemically bonding the membrane and intracellular proteins with the extracellular matrix, creating a massive 3D hydrogel matrix and providing structural support to fortify the tissue during processing.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Methods for the study of the highlighted problem are the diagnosis of young children in the parameter of clinical and anamnestic research, which includes the collection of anamnestic data of children of Kazakh nationality within the framework of the identified data based on a questionnaire of parents, an evaluation component in the child's health factor at the level of his initial state, and laboratory analysis to determine 25(OH)D to identify the content of vitamin D using the method of electrochemiluminescent immunoassay.

Results: Results: Analysis of vitamin D levels revealed significant differences among age groups.

Reconstructing Critical-Sized Mandibular Defects in a Rabbit Model: Enhancing Angiogenesis and Facilitating Bone Regeneration via a Cell-Loaded 3D-Printed Hydrogel-Ceramic Scaffold Application.

In this study, we propose a spatially patterned 3D-printed nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/collagen composite scaffold incorporating human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hDP-MSCs) for bone regeneration in critical-sized defects. We investigated angiogenesis and osteogenesis in a rabbit critical-sized mandibular defect model treated with this engineered construct. The critical and synergistic role of collagen coating and incorporation of stem cells in the regeneration process was confirmed by including a cell-free uncoated 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold, a stem cell-loaded 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold, and a cell-free collagen-coated 3D-printed nHA/β-TCP scaffold in the experimental design, in addition to an empty defect.

General movement assessment efficacy for assessment of nervous system integrity in children after hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in middle income countries.

Background: Many infants who survive hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) face long-term complications like epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and developmental delays. Detecting and forecasting developmental issues in high-risk infants is critical.

Regarding cornual pregnancy as a rare entity of ectopic pregnancy: A case report.

The published Toumi et al's article is somewhat confusing to the readers. The cornual pregnancy (CP) defined as a pregnancy that occurs in a rudimentary horn of a uterus with a Müllerian anomaly according to William's textbook. The interstitial ectopic pregnancy (IEP) occurs in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube where it crosses the uterine muscular to enter the uterine cavity.

Modulating the RFamide-related peptide-3/G protein-coupled receptor 147 signaling pathway with nourishing Yin-removing fire herbal mixture to alleviate precocious puberty in female rats: An experimental study.

Background: Precocious puberty (PP) involves early activation of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) generator. The RFamide-related peptide/G protein-coupled receptor 147 () signaling pathway is vital in inhibiting GnRH and delaying puberty onset. The nourishing Yin-removing fire (NYRF) herbal mixture has shown promising results in treating PP.

Background: Cervical cancer poses a considerable worldwide health issue, where infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) plays a vital role as a risk factor. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment for HPV-related cervical lesions, which uses photosensitizers and light to selectively destroy abnormal cells.

Objectives: Our objective is to present a comprehensive overview of the different types of molecules employed in PDT to reduce the occurrence and fatality rates associated with cervical cancer.

Sex differentials in the prevalence of behavioral risk factors and non-communicable diseases in adult populations of West Kazakhstan.

Introduction: The prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is increasing worldwide. Several modifiable risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol drinking, physical inactivity, and obesity, have been linked to the development of NCDs in both genders. Understanding the prevalence of these risk factors and their associated factors is crucial for effective intervention planning in adult populations.
