A Combined Nasolabial And Infra-Nasal Bi-Lobe Flap Design With Double Transposition For Reconstruction Of The Ipsilateral Upper And Lower Lips Associated With The Commissure Defect, Nyimi Bushabu Fidele, Yifang Zhao, Wu Tianfu, Yanfang Sun, Bing Liu

BioMedicine

Several classical flap variations have been designed to reconstruct lip and commissure defects. Although most of these variations maybe the best option for repairing defects, there is an increasing risk of anatomic distortion and functional disability, mostly in older persons. Herein, we present a combined nasolabial and infra-nasal bi-lobe flap design with double transposition, which was used to concomitantly close the upper and lower lips associated with commissure defects.

Epigenetic Profiling Of Mutyh, Klf6, Wnt1 And Klf4 Genes In Carcinogenesis And Tumorigenesis Of Colorectal Cancer, Kosar Babaei, Roya Khaksar, Tahereh Zeinali, Hossein Hemmati, Ahmadreza Bandegi, Pirouz Samidoust, Mohammad Taghi Ashoobi, Hooman Hashemian, Kourosh Delpasand, Fereshteh Talebinasab, Hoora Naebi, Seyed Hossein Mirpour, Arman Keymoradzadeh, Seyedeh Elham Norollahi

BioMedicine

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is distinguished by epigenetic elements like DNA methylation, histone modification, histone acetylation and RNA remodeling which is related with genomic instability and tumor initiation. Correspondingly, as a main epigenetic regulation, DNA methylation has an impressive ability in order to be used in CRC targeted therapy. Meaningly, DNA methylation is identified as one of most important epigenetic regulators in gene expression and is considered as a notable potential driver in tumorigenesis and carcinogenesis through gene-silencing of tumor suppressors genes. Abnormal methylation situation, even in the level of promoter regions, does not essentially change the gene expression levels, particularly …

The Judet Quadricepsplasty For Elderly Traumatic Knee Extension Contracture: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature, Benjamin Tze Keong Ding, Suheal Ali Khan

BioMedicine

Traumatic injuries to the knee are frequently complicated by extension contractures. The Judet Quadricepsplasty allows for controlled, sequential release of extrinsic and intrinsic knee contracture components while reducing the potential for iatrogenic quadriceps rupture. We document our institutions experience with this procedure and a systematic review of the current literature. We followed up on an elderly patient with posttraumatic flexion contracture that failed conservative management and underwent Judet Quadricepsplasty. Her knee range of motion improve dramatically from 20 degrees of flexion to 100 degrees of flexion. There was a residual extension lag of 5 degrees which did not impede on …

Cohort Study Of Microelement Status In “Healthy” Population Of Russian Megapolis, Andrew K. Martusevich, Konstantin A. Karuzin

BioMedicine

The aim of the study was at the cohort assessment of microelement status in large city residents classified as “apparently healthy people”. The population study included 2,025 randomly selected middle-aged (2045 years) persons without chronic diseases or acute infectious pathologies. The set of subjects was standardized by age and gender. A blood sample was taken once from each person to determine concentrations of microelements. The level of peripheral blood microelements were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry using «Shimadzu AA7000» device (Japan). The study of a large population of city residents demonstrated inhomogeneity in their microelement status. Deficit conditions were found …

Development Of Broad Spectrum Mycosporine Loaded Sunscreen Formulation From Ulva Fasciata Delile, Saurabh Bhatia, Satish Sardana, Ajay Sharma, Celia Bertha Vargas De La Cruz, Bhupal Chaugule, Laleh Khodaie

BioMedicine

Ba.ckground: Sunscreen formulations primarily offer protection against UV induced damages however nowadays it also maintains skin natural physiological conditions. Current global market is flooded with numerous sunscreen products which offer protection to skin against several UV induced damages. However most of these sunscreen formulations offers narrow spectrum protection against UV and also suffer from stability as well as toxicity related issues.

Methods: Present work aims to isolate mycosporine amino acid (Mgy) from green alga namelyUlva fasciata (U. fasciata)and study its sunscreen potential against widely used domestic marketed formulation. Stability evaluations were also performed for almost 90 days.

Results: Results demonstrated …

In Vivo Microdialysis And In Vitro Hplc Analysis Of The Impact Of Paeoniflorin On The Monoamine Levels And Their Metabolites In The Rodent Brain, Yuh-Tzy Lin, Wei-Shih Huang, Huei-Yann Tsai, Min-Min Lee, Yuh-Fung Chen

BioMedicine

Background: Paeoniflorin (PF) possesses several effects such as analgesic, the anti-spasmodic effect on smooth muscle. It protects the cardiovascular system and reveals the neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemia. Monoamine system has been identified to have complex regulatory effects in pain signaling. There are no reports regarding the impact of PF on monoamine levels in the rodent brain by microdialysis. In this study, the effects of PF on monoamines and their metabolites in the rodent brain usingin vivomicrodialysis andin vitrohigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

Methods: Male S.D. rats were anesthetized, fixed onto the stereotaxic instrument to identify the positions of …
