Article Abstract
We have conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the cosmetic applications of extracts (DMEs). A total of 261 articles were screened; however, after eliminating inappropriate studies, only 16 individual studies were eligible. The comparative standardized mean difference (SMD) between the DME treatment and control groups was used to evaluate the cosmetic properties of DME, including its biocompatibility, whitening effects, and anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. DME treatment exhibited positive results in controlling hyperpigmentation, including effective inhibition of the production of tyrosinase and melanin, with SMDs of 6.85 [4.27, 9.44] and 23.38 [12.94, 33.82], respectively. Moreover, the results confirmed the anti-inflammatory properties in terms of suppressing the expression of interleukin markers (ILs) (SMD = 5.22 [3.12, 7.33]) and reducing NO production (SMD = 6.92 [2.89, 10.96]). DME treatment also effectively inhibited bacteria growth, which causes skin disorders. According to the results, DMEs are shown to be highly biocompatibility, with excellent anti-hyperpigmentation, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that contribute significantly to improving skin appearance. The findings provide strong evidence for further research into the in vivo effects of DMEs and their potential cosmetic applications, which could lead to clinical trials in the future.

We systematically evaluated the DNA adsorption and desorption efficiencies of several nanoparticles. Among them, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) NPs, and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibited strong DNA-binding capacities under mild conditions. However, phosphate-mediated DNA displacement efficiencies varied considerably, with only TiO₂ NPs showing consistently superior performance.

Introduction: Burn injuries affecting specialised areas such as the face and hands require durable skin coverage and complete graft "take" to prevent scarring and functional impairment. Failure to achieve these outcomes can lead to long-term complications. This presentation aims to describe an approach of delayed autografting in these regions, following a "trial of allograft" to optimise wound bed preparation.

Ergothioneine (EGT) is a naturally occurring thiol-containing amino acid derivative synthesized by certain fungi and bacteria, with humans acquiring it exclusively through dietary intake. It has gained increasing attention due to its exceptional antioxidant, cytoprotective, and metal-chelating properties. EGT shows high stability under physiological conditions and can accumulate in specific tissues the highly selective transporter OCTN1.

The hop plant is gaining interest in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries due to its abundance of secondary metabolites. However, branches and leaves, despite their antioxidant potential, are typically discarded. To valorize these components as functional ingredients they were dried, milled into hop powder (HP), and used to enrich bread.

Background: Pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is a common condition in adolescents, often resulting in recurrence, prolonged recovery, and significant discomfort. Although multiple surgical approaches exist, the optimal treatment for pediatric patients remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the short-term outcomes of endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment combined with platelet-rich plasma application (EPSIT+PRP) and excision with primary closure (EPC) in children and adolescents with PSD.
