Article Abstract

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are non-Hodgkin lymphomas caused by malignant T cells which migrate to the skin and lead to rash-like lesions which can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis (PSO). To characterize CTCL in comparison to these differential diagnoses, we carried out multi-antigen imaging on 69 skin tissue samples (21 CTCL, 23 AD, 25 PSO). The resulting protein abundance maps were then analyzed via scoring functions to quantify the heterogeneity of the individual cells' neighborhoods within spatial graphs inferred from the cells' positions in the tissue samples. Our analyses reveal characteristic patterns of skin tissue organization in CTCL as compared to AD and PSO, including a combination of increased local entropy and egophily in T-cell neighborhoods. These results could not only pave the way for high-precision diagnosis of CTCL, but may also facilitate further insights into cellular disease mechanisms.

Electrically Conductive Hydrogels for Wound Healing.

Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle)

September 2025

Beijing Laboratory of Biomedical Materials, State Key Laboratory of Organic-Inorganic Composites, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, Beijing, PR China.

Wound healing is a complex, tightly regulated process involving a range of enzymes, growth factors, and cytokines that coordinate cellular activities essential for tissue repair and wound closure. However, in cases of extensive or severe injury, the intrinsic repair mechanisms are often insufficient, underscoring the need for advanced therapeutic strategies to accelerate healing and minimize scar formation. Electrically conductive hydrogels (ECHs), combining the advantageous properties of hydrogels with the physiological and electrochemical characteristics of conductive materials, present a safer and more convenient alternative to traditional electrode-based electrical stimulation (ES) for treating chronic and nonhealing wounds.

Introduction: Pressure injuries (PIs) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) still impacts patients' health and places a heavy burden on healthcare systems. Stage I and stage II PIs are particularly prevalent among individuals with diabetes. Without timely and appropriate interventions, these injuries can progress to more severe stages, requiring prolonged recovery periods.

Use of a novel zipper device for wound closure of cutaneous abscesses in pediatric outpatients: a case series.

Wounds

August 2025

Department of Day Surgery, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health and Disorders, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Child Development and Disorder, Chongqing, China; China International Science and Technology Coopera

Background: Current management of pediatric cutaneous abscesses involves either spontaneous healing by secondary intention or suturing through tertiary intention, which are often lengthy processes that cause discomfort and distress among children. As it is noninvasive and simple, a novel zipper device is widely used for the primary wound closure of surgical incisions.

Objective: To describe the effectiveness of novel zipper device use for pediatric cutaneous abscess wound closure in an outpatient context.
