Background/Objectives: The regeneration of the facial nerve using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been infrequently reported. Polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRNs), a blend short deoxyribonucleotide polymers known for their non-toxic and non-allergic properties, are recognized as stimulator cell growth that enhances proliferation supports wound healing. This study investigates synergistic effect topical sustained release PDRN/F-127 LLLT on following crush injury-induced paralysis in rats....

Background: Platelet-to-Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has been studied as a prognostic factor for various diseases and traumas. This study examined the utility of PLR tool predicting 30-day mortality in patients experiencing severe trauma.Methods: included 139 who experienced trauma fulfilled ≥1 criteria activation hospital’s team. Patients were divided into non-survivor survivor groups. Mean values compared between groups, optimal cut-off value was determined, survival analyses performed....

Background In this study, a hydrogel comprising poly (vinyl alcohol)/pectin (PVA/PET) was prepared by the addition of Melia azedarach extract for epithelial restoration. M . (MAE) contains volatile organic plant-derived compounds with antimicrobial properties. MAE has variety physiological properties, including antimicrobial, insecticidal, and anti-inflammatory activity. This study aimed to investigate whether MAE-loaded PVA/PET hydrogels have protective effects against burn wound healing....

Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical drainage are very important for successful treatment of descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM). However, the techniques used DNM remain controversial. The purpose this study was to evaluate effectiveness video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) cervical management DNM. Nine patients diagnosed with were treated from May 2001 April 2004. mean age 51.1±15.0 years. VATS drainage, including debridement mediastinum pleura, performed simultaneously....

Background: Hemorheologic factors such as red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and deformability differ according to species. In many comparative hemorheologic studies, only venous samples have been used for measurements. There is little published

We examined the pulsatility generated by an intra-aortic balloon pump/centrifugal pump (IABP/CP) combination in terms of energy equivalent pressure (EEP) and surplus hemodynamic (SHE). In five cardiac-arrested pigs, outflow cannula CP was inserted into ascending aorta, inflow right atrium. A 30-ml IABP subsequently placed descending aorta. Extracorporeal circulation maintained for 30 minutes using a flow 75 ml/kg per minute alone or IABP/CP with measured internal carotid artery. The...

We compared the coronary artery blood flow and hemodynamic energy between pulsatile extracorporeal life support (ECLS) a centrifugal pump (CP)/intra-aortic balloon (IABP) combination in cardiac arrest. A total cardiopulmonary bypass circuit was constructed for six Yorkshire swine weighing 30 to 40 kg. The outflow cannula of CP or ECLS (T-PLS) inserted into ascending aorta, inflow T-PLS placed right atrium. 30-ml IABP subsequently descending aorta. Extracorporeal circulation maintained...

Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (BMPM) is rare and difficult to diagnose before surgery. We report a case of BMPM incidentally discovered during laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) for treatment pelvic mass. A 47-year-old Korean menopaused woman presented our outpatient clinic with She had history right ovary cystectomy adhesiolysis at local hospital in 2010. Imaging study the pelvis revealed multilocular cystic LESS was performed multiple grapelike clusters cysts were...

The impact of metformin on the rat facial nerve following crush injury has only occasionally been documented to date. purpose current investigation was use functional and electrophysiological evaluations investigate effects administration recovery nerve. rats were randomly divided into four groups: nonDM/PBS group (n = 4), nonDM/metformin DM/PBS DM/metformin 4). Diabetes generated by an intraperitoneal injection streptozotocin. Facial paralysis induced a 7 days after diabetes induction....

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis (DNM) is a lethal process originating from odontogenic, pharyngeal, or cervical infections that descends along the fascial planes into mediastinum. The surgical management ranges drainage to routine thoracotomy but remains controversial. We here describe two patients treated successfully who underwent alone combined with thoracotomy. Wide exploration postural was effective in one patient limited DNM above carina. Mediastinal through required salvage other...

Purpose Near drowning refers to immediate survival after asphyxia due submersion or immersion in water, which is a crucial public safety problem worldwide. Acute lung injury acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) common complication of near drowning. The purpose this study was investigate the feasibility and effectiveness noninvasive nasal positive pressure ventilation (NINPPV). Methods This retrospective conducted at tertiary emergency department. NINPPV administered for moderate ARDS...

Snake venom can cause hematological abnormalities such as thrombocytopenia and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)-like syndrome.Exposure to snake has been associated with specific clinical symptoms, bleeding; however, most patients are asymptomatic.This study reports the rare case of a 75-year-old male patient, no medical history except benign prostate hyperplasia, who was bitten by supposed viper developed subarachnoid, intraventricular, intracranial hemorrhages in absence any...

Purpose: Glehnia littoralis has been used to treat ischemic stroke, phlegm, cough, systemic paralysis, antipyretics and neuralgia. The pharmacological mechanisms of include calcium channel block, coumarin derivatives, anticoagulation, anti-convulsive effect, as well anti-oxidant anti-inflammatory effects. Alpha-amanitin (${alpha}$-amanitin) is a major toxin from extremely poisonous Amanita fungi. Oxidative stress, which may contribute severe hepatotoxicity was induced by ${alpha}$-amanitin....
