The use of angle grinders can lead to complex facial injuries. The most frequent sites affected are within the head and face region. Anatomical boundaries or structures are not respected by the high-speed disc of angle grinders, and thus, injuries can be mutilating, permanently disabling, or even lethal. Functional and aesthetical satisfying results can be reached through debridement, excision of wound edges, and meticulous layered functional closure after appropriate reconstruction of additional...
Objective. Studies on factors affecting pharyngocutaneous fistulas (PCFs) and PCF repair methods have been widely reported. However, the healing phases of PCF are unclear, and their elucidation could guide clinical treatment. Methods. Clinical stages of the PCF healing process were identified by a retrospective study of 39 patients with head and neck cancer who developed a PCF. Results. Different conservative treatments were performed in turn according to three defined stages of the PCF healing process:...

Following traumatic insult and associated pathogen infection, innate immunity is activated during the perioperative period, especially the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. The neuroendocrine response is also rapidly activated to regulate excessive inflammation; however, the molecular mechanisms are still not completely clear. This study is aimed at investigating the modulation of NLRP3 inflammasome priming by endogenous glucocorticoids (corticosterone, CORT) and its relationship with xanthine oxidase...
Sepsis is a severe disease, which results from the excessive inflammatory response to the infection. Dysfunction of intestinal barrier is a crucial problem in various pathological conditions. Meanwhile, microRNAs exhibit significant roles in the modulation of many diseases, including sepsis. Multiple investigations indicate that miR-199a-5p participates in different human diseases. Nevertheless, little is known on the roles of miR-199a-5p in sepsis. Herein, we evaluated the mechanism of miR-199a-5p...
Relieving Sore Throat Formula (RSTF) is a formula approved by the China Food and Drug Administration and has been used for the treatment of pharyngitis in clinic for many years. However, the potential pharmacological mechanism still remains unknown. We combined multiple methods including bioinformatics data digging, network pharmacology analysis, and pathway analysis to predict the potential target of RSTF. We verified our in silico prediction results with an in vivo/vitro antibacterial effect test,...
Objectives. To examine demographic and clinical characteristics and long-term visual outcome in a cohort of Italian patients affected by Behçet’s uveitis (BU). Materials and Methods. Retrospective chart review of 47 patients with BU attending our unit between January 2018 and December 2019. Ophthalmologic manifestations, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fluoroangiography and optical coherence tomography findings, and ocular complications were recorded. Predictive factors of a poor visual outcome...
Background. Sepsis is a common complication of acute cholangitis (AC), which is associated with a high mortality rate. Our study is aimed at exploring the significance of white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (sTREM-1), and temperature (T) alone or combined together in early identification and curative effect monitoring of AC with or without sepsis. Methods. 65 consecutive cases with AC and 76 control cases...

Abstract The global impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is significant in terms of public health effects and its long-term socio-economic implications. Among all social groups, the elderly is by far the most affected age group regarding morbidity and mortality. In multiple countries spanning several continents, there are an increasing number of reports referencing the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) spread among nursing...
Abstract Aging is a complex physiological process associated with degenerative disorder of metabolism and immune function, which contributes to the occurrence of senile diseases. The gut microbiota affects systemic inflammation in aging processes probably through metabolism, but their relationship is still unclear. In this study, 16S-rRNA-sequencing technology, gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS)–based metabolic profiling, and immune factor analysis combined...

AbstractIntraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring is a technique utilized during spinal operations to minimize sensory and motor function morbidity. We herein report a case of a 73-year-old female with renal cell carcinoma and metastatic involvement of the cervical and thoracic spine, who underwent a multilevel complex anterior and posterior operation. Neurophysiological monitoring was able to localize the lower limb ischemia utilizing somatosensory evoked potentials. This prompted intraoperative...
AbstractThe Median Arcuate Ligament (MAL) syndrome is the symptomatic compression of the celiac trunk by the MAL and other ganglionic periaortic tissue. Despite its rarity, this condition is significant from a clinical, diagnostic and management standpoint and it is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. A 61-year-old female with history of intermittent postprandial epigastric pain was diagnosed with MAL syndrome during CT scan imaging (no other causes of pain were identified). Patient successfully underwent...
AbstractNissen fundoplication is a safe and effective procedure for gastroesophageal reflux. Gastric ulceration leading to perforation is an uncommon late complication with a mechanism of action that is poorly understood.A 40-year-old male presented 3 years following his fundoplication with a perforated ulcer in the upper body of the stomach. The patient admitted ibuprofen use leading up to the perforation. The perforation was successfully repaired via laparoscopy, with good postoperative outcome.Gastric...
AbstractThe lymphangioma is a benign neoplasm, mostly connate, it occurs more often in children. It is more frequently located in the head–neck region, as well as in the armpit, and less frequently in the abdomen. The diagnosis, as well as their appearance is variant, they can be asymptomatic depending on the size. The signs on the physical exam are usually nonspecific and can look like an acute abdomen. Imaging tests used are the ultrasound and tomography, which determine the therapeutic behavior....
