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.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine for patient-controlled sleep regulation in improving postoperative sleep disorders in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:One hundred and fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, regardless of gender, aged 40-80 yr, with a preoperative Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score of ≤7 and a PSQI score of >7 on the 1st day after surgery, undergoing elective laparoscopic resection of gastrointestinal tumors from May 2023 to December 2023 in the Affiliated Changzhou No. 2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, were divided into 3 groups ( n=50 each) using a random number table method: normal saline group and dexmedetomidine via different routes of administration groups (DEX1 group, DEX2 group). After the routine use of 48 h postoperative analgesia, dexmedetomidine 400 μg and atropine 1 mg in 100 ml of normal saline were added to the analgesic pump in DEX1 and DEX2 groups, DEX1 group received a background infusion at a rate of 2.5 ml/h, and after an initial dose of 6 ml, the patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump was programmed to deliver 4 ml with a lockout interval of 10 min and background infusion at 0.5 ml/h in DEX2 group. In NS group, normal saline was added to the PCA pump, and the methed of petient-controlled administration was the same as those previously described in DEX2 group. PSQI scores were recorded at days 1, 3 and 7 and 1 month postoperatively, and visual analogue scale scores were recorded on postoperative days 1, 3 and 7. Personal Health Questionnaire Depression Scale scores were assessed and the polysomnogram was monitored on the preoperative day 1, and 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) scale scores were assessed on postoperative day 7. The duration of PACU stay, consumption of anesthetic drugs, the total pressing times of PCA within 48 h, consumption of analgesic drugs and lenth of hospital stay were recorded. Results:Compared with NS group, the sleep stage N1 ratio and arousal index were significantly decreased and the sleep stage N2 ratio and sleep efficiency were increased on postoperative days 3 and 7, PSQI scores at days 3 and 7 and 1 month after operation and VAS score at postoperative day 7 were decreased, the length of hospital stay was shortened in DEX1 and DEX2 groups, and QoR-15 scale scores were significantly increased in DEX2 group ( P<0.05). Compared with DEX1 group, the sleep stage N3 ratio was significantly increased, PSQI scores were decreased on postoperative days 3 and 7, and QoR-15 scale scores were increased in DEX2 group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that dexmedetomidine for patient-controlled sleep regulation was a protective factor against postoperative sleep disturbances ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For the patients with postoperative sleep disorders following surgery for gastrointestinal tumors, self-controlled administration of dexmedetomidine for 3 consecutive days after surgery improves the sleep structure, raises the subjective sleep quality and promotes the postoperative recovery.

As confusion mounts over RNA isoforms involved in phenotypic plasticity, aberrant CpG methylation-mediated disruption of alternative splicing is increasingly recognized as a driver of intratumor heterogeneity (ITH). Protease serine 3 (PRSS3), possessing four splice variants (PRSS3-SVs; PRSS3-V1-V4), is an indispensable trypsin that shows paradoxical effects on cancer development. Here, we found that PRSS3 transcripts and their isoforms were divergently expressed in lung cancer, exhibiting opposing functions and clinical outcomes, namely, oncogenic PRSS3-V1 and PRSS3-V2 versus tumor-suppressive PRSS3-V3, by targeting different downstream genes. We identified an intragenic CpG island (iCpGI) in PRSS3. Hypermethylation of iCpGI was mediated by UHRF1/DNMT1 complex interference with the binding of myeloid zinc finger 1 (MZF1) to regulate PRSS3 transcription. The garlic-derived compound diallyl trisulfide cooperated with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine to exert antitumor effects in lung adenocarcinoma cells through site-specific iCpGI demethylation specifically allowing MZF1 to upregulate PRSS3-V3 expression. Epigenetic silencing of PRSS3-V3 via iCpGI methylation (iCpGIm) in BALF and tumor tissues was associated with early clinical progression in patients with lung cancer but not in those with squamous cell carcinoma or inflammatory disease. Thus, UHRF1/DNMT1-MZF1 axis-modulated site-specific iCpGIm regulates divergent expression of PRSS3-SVs, conferring nongenetic functional ITH, with implications for early detection of lung cancer and targeted therapies.

Background The metabolites and metabolic pathways of hand-arm vibration syndrome have not yet been elucidated. Objective To investigate the effect of local vibration on endogenous metabolites in rat serum by metabolomic analysis, to preliminarily explore the potential metabolic pathway of endogenous metabolites, so as to provide evidence for further research on the mechanism of hand-arm vibration syndrome. Methods Thirty-two SPF male SD rats, (211.3±11.1) g, 7−8 weeks of age, were selected and randomly divided into three groups: control group (14 rats, without vibration), 7 d vibration group (9 rats, continuously vibration for 7 d), and 14 d vibration group (9 rats, continuous vibration for 14 d). The vibration rats were vibrated every day for 4 h, the frequency weighted acceleration was 4.9 m·s⁻², the vibration frequency was 125 Hz, and the vibration direction was one-way vertical vibration. The control group had the same conditions except not contacting vibration. After the vibration exposure, the blood samples taken from the abnormal aorta of rats were collected, and the changes of rat serum metabolome were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to explore changes in rat serum metabolic profile, and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to screen out differential metabolites. Combined with online databases, a metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites was performed. Results The PCA analysis showed that compared with the control group, the rat serum metabolic profiles in the 7 d group and the 14 d group were clearly differentiated, and the rat serum metabolic profiles in the 7 d group and the 14 d group partially overlapped. The OPLS-DA analysis showed significant differences between groups. The main parameters were: model interpretation rate R²Y=0.914, model predictive ability Q²=0.58. The OPLS-DA analysis screened out 26 and 119 differential metabolites from the 7 d group and the 14 d group respectively, and there were 24 common differential metabolites between the 7 d group and the 14 d group. The metabolomic pathway analysis showed that local vibration-induced changes in rat serum metabolism were mainly related to arachidonic acid metabolism in the 14 d group, among which the metabolites with significant effects were arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E₂, and prostaglandin D₂. Conclusion Local vibration could affect the normal metabolism in rats, and the metabolic pathway with significant influence is arachidonic acid metabolism after a 14 d exposure and the involved metabolites are arachidonic acid, prostaglandin E₂, and prostaglandin D₂.
