In current clinical practice, various dermal templates and skin substitutes are used to enhance wound healing. However, the role of wound commensal microbiome in regulating scaffold performance and the healing process remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the influence of both natural and synthetic scaffolds on the wound commensal microbiome and wound repair in three distinct models including diabetic wounds, burn injuries, and germ-free (GF) wounds. Remarkably, synthetic electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were observed to positively promote microbiome diversity, leading to enhanced diabetic wound healing compared to the natural scaffolds Integra® (INT) and MatriDerm® (MAD). In contrast, both natural and synthetic scaffolds exhibited comparable effects on the diversity of the microbiome and the healing of burn injuries. In GF wounds with no detectable microorganisms, a reversed healing rate was noted showing natural scaffold (MAD) accelerated wound repair compared to the open or the synthetic scaffold (PCL) treatment. Furthermore, the response of the wound commensal microbiome to PCL scaffolds appears pivotal in promoting anti-inflammatory factors during diabetic wound healing. Our results emphasize that the wound commensal microbiome, mediated by different scaffolds plays an important role in the wound healing process.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to analyze the biomechanics of three kinds of rigid internal fixation methods for condylar head fractures. METHODS: A three dimensional finite element model of the normal mandible was constructed. It was then used to prepare condylar head fracture finite element model and three kinds of rigid internal fixation finite element model (unilateral tension screw, bilateral tension screw, tension screw+titanium plate). The mechanical characteristics and changes of the mandible condyle under the same mechanical conditions were compared among the three different rigid internal fixation methods. RESULTS: The maximum equivalent stress and displacement of the non-free end of condyle under the rigid internal fixation method of unilateral tension screw were 71.03 MPa and 4.72 mm, respectively. The maximum equivalent stress and displacement of the free end of condyle were 78.45 MPa and 4.50 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of fracture suture was 3.27 MPa. The maximum equivalent stress and displacement of the non-free end of condyle under the rigid internal fixation method of bilateral tension screw were 70.52 MPa and 4.00 mm, respectively. The maximum equivalent stress and displacement of the free end of condyle were 72.49 MPa and 3.85 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of fracture suture was 2.33 MPa. The maximum equivalent stress and maximum displacement of the non-free end of condyle under the rigid internal fixation method of tension screw+titanium plate were 67.26 MPa and 2.66 mm, respectively. The maximum equivalent stress and maximum displacement of the free end of condyle were 69.66 MPa and 2.50 mm, respectively. The maximum stress of fracture suture was 2.18 MPa. CONCLUSIONS The tension screw+titanium plate rigid internal fixation method is the most conducive to biomechanical distribution for condylar head fractures.

BACKGROUND:This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of high-dose glucose-insulin-potassium(GIK)therapy on clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndrome(ACS)patients receiving reperfusion therapy. METHODS:We searched the PubMed,Web of Science,MEDLINE,Embase,and Cochrane Library databases from inception to April 26,2022,for randomized controlled trials(RCTs)that compared high-dose GIK and placebos in ACS patients receiving reperfusion therapy.The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs). RESULTS:Eleven RCTs with 884 patients were ultimately included.Compared with placebos,high-dose GIK markedly reduced MACEs(risk ratio[RR]0.57,95％confidence interval[95％CI]:0.35 to 0.94,P=0.03)and the risk of heart failure(RR 0.48,95％CI:0.25 to 0.95,P=0.04)and improved the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(mean difference[MD]2.12,95％CI:0.40 to 3.92,P=0.02)at 6 months.However,no difference was observed in all-cause mortality at 30 d or 1 year.Additionally,high-dose GIK was significantly associated with increased incidences of phlebitis(RR 4.78,95％CI:1.36 to 16.76,P=0.01),hyperglycemia(RR 9.06,95％CI:1.74 to 47.29,P=0.009)and hypoglycemia(RR 6.50,95％CI:1.28 to 33.01,P=0.02)but not reinfarction,hyperkalemia or secondary reperfusion.In terms of oxidative stress-lowering function,high-dose GIK markedly reduced superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity but not glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)or catalase(CAT)activity. CONCLUSION:Patients with ACS receiving reperfusion therapy exhibited a reduction in MACEs and good oxidative stress-lowering efficacy in response to high-dose GIK.Moreover,with a higher incidence of complications such as phlebitis,hyperglycemia,and hypoglycemia.Furthermore,there were no observed survival benefits associated with high-dose GIK.More trials with long-term follow-up are still needed.

Purpose To investigate the clinical and patho-logical characteristics,molecular characteristics,treatments and prognosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma(AdCC)of the breast.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clini-cal pathology of 14 breast AdCC patients,and HE,immunohis-tochemistry,FISH testing,and follow-up were performed.Re-sults All cases were female,aged 43～70 years.10 cases of classic AdCC and 4 cases of solid-basal cell AdCC(SB-AdCC)were included.The tumor was composed of epithelial,myoepi-thelial and basal-like cells arranged in sieve,tubular and solid pattern with fibrous mucinous or glassy changes in the stroma.The tumor cells of SB-AdCC were moderately to severely atypical with frequent mitosis and necrosis,accompanied by ductal carci-noma in situ(DCIS).Expression of ER(1/14),PR(1/14),HER2(0/14),CK7(14/14),p63(12/14),CK5/6(14/14),CD117(13/14),MYB(9/14)was detected;Ki67 index was 13.2％and 46.1％in classic AdCC and SB-AdCC,respec-tively.The MYB rearrangement rates in classic AdCC and SB-AdCC were 55.6％(5/9)and 25％(1/4),respectively.All patients were underwent surgical resection and/or radiotherapy and chemotherapy.During the follow-up period(2-62 months),1 SB-AdCC patient died due to lung and liver metasta-sis,while the other 10 patients survived without tumors.Con-clusion SB-AdCC is more invasive than classical AdCC with lower frequency of MYB gene rearrangement,and immunohisto-chemical detection of MYB protein has potential value in assis-ting the diagnosis of SB-AdCC.

BACKGROUND:In chronic gout patients,sodium urate is deposited in bone joints and around synovial membranes,eroding and destroying bone,leading to serious complications such as gouty arthritis and deformity.Research on the mechanisms by which sodium urate crystals erode and destroy bone can help early clinical intervention in gouty diseases and prevent and delay the complications caused by bone destruction. OBJECTIVE:To explore the destructive effects of gout crystals on bone through clinical imaging studies and experimental basic research,review the current progress and development prospects of research on the phenomenon and mechanism of bone destruction caused by gout,guide the clinical early intervention of gouty bone destruction,and guide the direction of research on the role of bone destruction. METHODS:The Chinese search terms were"gout,bone destruction,bone erosion"and the English search terms were"tophi,gout,RANKL,bone destruction,bone erosion,"which were used in the computer search of WanFang and PubMed databases.Finally,64 articles were selected for review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The specific manifestations of clinical studies(imaging,histopathology)to some extent elaborate the osteolytic process of gout,and in basic studies,the mechanism of gout-causing bone destruction can be divided into the five aspects:(1)Sodium acid crystals have an important role in bone destruction,directly affecting osteocytes,chondrocytes,osteoblasts and proresorptive factors that promote bone destruction;(2)Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand and other proresorptive factors are involved in bone destruction;(3)T cell-mediated cellular immunity functions as a bridge in bone destruction,and activated T cells induce osteoclast differentiation;(4)Monocytes/macrophages are not only precursors of osteoclast-like cells,but also induce the expression of proresorptive factors such as Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand;(5)Neutrophils affect the morphology of osteoclast arrangement,and neutrophil extracellular trap networks promote osteolysis by promoting osteoclast differentiation.
