Moist-Exposed Burn Ointment Promotes Angiogenesis During Full-Thickness Wound Healing by Activating the SDF-1/CXCR4 Axis in a Hyperglycaemic Rat Model.

The mechanism by which moist-exposed burn ointment (MEBO) promotes wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) remains unclear. To elucidate this mechanism, we investigated the role of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in MEBO's ability to enhance ulcer healing and neovascularisation using a full-thickness wound model in hyperglycaemic rats. On post-wounding days 3, 7, and 14, the wound healing rates were significantly higher in the MEBO group compared to the model group and Vaseline group (p < 0.

Structural characterization and effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of a novel marine exopolysaccharide from P. sclerotiorum isolated in the south china sea.

A novel polysaccharide, designated PS1-1, was isolated from the marine fungus P. sclerotiorum, which was obtained from a sponge found in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea. PS1-1 was a heteropolysaccharide with a molecular weight of 7.

Survival, development, and reproduction of Aulacorthum solani (Hemioptera: Aphididae) fed on Persicaria lapathifolia.

The foxglove aphid, Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach), is a polyphagous economic pest. In this study, A. solani were fed on detached leaves of dockleaf knotweed, Persicaria lapathifolia (L.

Control Effects of Short-Term Heatwaves on a Holocyclic Aphid.

The soybean aphid, , is an important soybean pest. Harbin, in the Heilongjiang Province, is an area with increasing temperatures in China that faces frequent short-term heatwaves. In this study, the development, reproduction, and morph differentiation of have been studied when they were exposed to diurnal at 35 °C for seven days, beginning at different developmental stages.

Delivery of bone morphogenetic protein-2 by crosslinking heparin to nile tilapia skin collagen for promotion of rat calvaria bone defect repair.

Collagen has been widely used as a biomaterial for tissue regeneration. At the present, aqua-collagen derived from fish is poorly explored for biomedical material applications due to its insufficient thermal stability. To improve the bone repair ability and thermal stability of fish collagen, the tilapia skin collagen was crosslinked by EDC/NHS with heparin to bind specifically to BMP-2.

Apelin alleviated neuroinflammation and promoted endogenous neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation after spinal cord injury in rats.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes devastating neurological damage, including secondary injuries dominated by neuroinflammation. The role of Apelin, an endogenous ligand that binds the G protein-coupled receptor angiotensin-like receptor 1, in SCI remains unclear. Thus, our aim was to investigate the effects of Apelin in inflammatory responses and activation of endogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) after SCI.
