Article Abstract
Background: Low-level laser (light) therapy is a promising technology that stimulates healing, relieves pain and inflammation, and restores function in injured body parts. However, few studies have compared the effects of light-emitting diodes of different fluence levels or different treatment durations.
Objective: Here, we investigated the effects of various fluence levels and treatment durations on wound closure in mice.
Methods: Full-thickness wounds were created on the dorsal skin using an 8-mm diameter punch, and the wounds were irradiated at 1, 4, or 40 J/cm for 5 consecutive days starting on day 1. To determine the optimal irradiation duration, wounds were irradiated at the most potent fluence of previous study for 5, 10, or 15 days. Photographic documentation, skin biopsies, and wound measurements were performed to compare the effects of different treatment parameters.
Results: The most effective fluence level was 40 J/cm at day 5, as determined by monitoring wound closure. There were no statistically significant differences in wound healing with different durations.
Conclusion: We have shown that repeated exposure to low levels of light significantly stimulates wound healing in mice and demonstrated more efficient wound closure with certain fluences of 830 nm irradiation.

The treatment of chronic hard-to-heal wounds has become a major medical and public health problem worldwide. The search for novel and efficient wound healing dressings is crucial because of the complex mechanisms of wound genesis and of the inability to spontaneously repair. Many inherent properties of organisms in nature and their intrinsic molecular mechanisms have inspired researchers to design biomimetic hydrogel wound dressings to treat chronic hard-to-heal wounds.

Bacterial burn wound infections can disrupt the natural wound-healing process, leading to life-threatening diseases. This study aimed to investigate the use of glycerosomes as a novel system for the topical delivery of cefoperazone to promote its burn wound healing action. Cefoperazone-loaded glycerosomes (CEFO-GLY) were optimized using a 2 full-factorial design and prepared via the thin film hydration method.

Wound healing has been extensively studied through the lens of inflammatory disorders and cancer, but limited attention has been given to hematophagy and arthropod-borne diseases. Hematophagous ectoparasites, including ticks, subvert the wound healing response to maintain prolonged attachment and facilitate blood-feeding. Here, we unveil a strategy by which extracellular vesicles (EVs) ensure blood-feeding and arthropod survival in three medically relevant tick species.

Background: Intestinal fibrosis is a severe and progressive complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly Crohn's disease (CD), for which no effective anti-fibrotic therapies currently exist.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the anti-fibrotic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Prim-O-glucosylcimifugin (POG), a natural chromone derivative, in TGF-β1-stimulated human intestinal fibroblasts.
Methods: Fibrosis was modeled in human intestinal fibroblast cell lines (CCD-18Co) and human primary intestinal myofibroblasts (HIMF) using TGF-β1.

The integration of information memory and computing enabled by nonvolatile memristive device has been widely acknowledged as a critical solution to circumvent the von Neumann architecture limitations. Herein, the Au/NiO/CaBiTiO/FTO (CBTi/NiO) heterojunction based memristor with varying film thicknesses are demonstrated on FTO/glass substrates, and the CBTi/NiO-4 sample shows the optimal memristor characteristics with 5 × 10 stable switching cycles and 10-s resistance state retention. The electrical conduction in the low-resistance state is dominated by Ohmic behavior, while the high-resistance state exhibited characteristics consistent with the space-charge-limited conduction (SCLC) model.
