The development of advanced wound dressings is crucial for enhancing wound healing. This study introduces a novel sodium alginate (SA) emulsion gel cross-linked through both hemiacetal and ionic interactions using dialdehyde carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) and CaCO. The emulsion gel encapsulates curcumin (CU) in a tunable, interconnected porous network controlled by DCMC concentration. The biocompatible emulsion gel demonstrated excellent shape memory and flexibility, maintaining its structure during movement. In vivo results showed a significant acceleration in wound closure, with an 85.0 ± 5.12 % reduction by day 12, compared to 18.97 ± 5.43 % in the control group. Histopathological analysis revealed reduced inflammation, attributed to the emulsion gel's antioxidant and antibacterial properties. This innovative system with antioxidant and wound healing properties provides a promising approach to advanced wound care, addressing the limitations of traditional dressings and enhancing hydrogel performance in wound healing.

Background And Aims: Liver metastasis significantly contributes to poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), posing therapeutic challenges due to limited understanding of its mechanisms. We aimed to identify a potential target critical for CRC liver metastasis.
Methods: We analyzed the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases and identified EphrinA3 (EFNA3) as a potential clinically relevant target.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the full-thickness palatal graft technique (FTPGT) and the coronally advanced flap with subepithelial connective tissue graft (CAF + SCTG) in achieving complete root coverage (CRC) in single gingival recessions (GR).
Methods: Forty healthy patients with a single RT1 GR were randomized into two groups: 20 treated with CAF + SCTG and 20 with FTPGT. Baseline and 12-month measurements of GR, keratinized tissue width (KTW), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival thickness (GT) were recorded.

Purpose: The NOM (non-operative management) of distal radius fractures (DRF) is influenced by various factors. This study seeks to determine whether poor fracture alignment correlates with poor outcome.
Methods: Over a period of three years, a study was conducted on conservatively treated DRF involving 127 patients, 104 women (81.

Defective wounds pose health risks, and treatment is challenging. Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) show promise for healing. Primary UCMSCs were isolated and extracted in vitro, and the proliferation and differentiation characteristics were detected by flow cytometry and trilineage differentiation, and a 3D spherical cell culture was performed.
