Summary: This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of intradermal administration of ozonated water on acute skin wound healing in diabetic rats. The results showed that the ozonated water group had lower blood glucose levels, smaller wound size, and increased body weight. Additionally, there were significant improvements in epithelial vascularization, stromal edema, and TGF and VEGF gene expression in the ozonated water group.

Summary: APDT using OLEDs has shown promising results in inactivating Leishmania species in vitro, with the most potent photosensitizer being 1,9-dimethyl-methylene blue. Even at low intensities, OLEDs are effective in killing Leishmania, demonstrating their great potential as a new approach for ambulatory treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Summary: The research found that topical application of metformin accelerates wound healing by suppressing NF-kappa B p65 activity and diminishing the expression of MMP2 and MMP9. Diabetic wounds treated with metformin healed even faster than those in the control group that mimicked standard wound healing.

Summary: The study shows that combining an organic light-emitting display (OLED) device with an advanced optical film can achieve highly enhanced light extraction and low ambient light reflection without the need for a polarizer. The optical efficiency of the OLED device with the proposed film has been significantly improved compared to a polarizer-based OLED device, with external light reflection reduced to approximately 10%. Experimental data confirms that the film for enhancing optical efficiency (FEOE) improves the overall optical efficiency of OLED devices, making FEOE-based OLEDs of significant interest in materials science and display devices.

Summary: Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are a promising technology for displays and lighting due to their numerous advantages. Ultrathin emitting nanolayers (UENs) have been used to develop OLEDs without the doping technique, simplifying device structure and achieving comparable performance to doped devices. This review comprehensively summarizes recent progress in UEN-based OLEDs, including a comparison between doped and doping-free OLEDs, effective design approaches, and future development prospects.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infiltration in open wounds in cats. The results showed that PRP infiltration promoted faster and better wound healing, as well as improved perfusion. This is the first study to focus on the topical application of PRP in treating open wounds in laboratory cats, and the results are encouraging, demonstrating faster healing in the PRP group.

Summary: This study presents a nanoscale organic light-emitting antenna (OLEA) structure that serves as a color- and directionality-switchable light source. The structure utilizes gold nanoantennas and an organic semiconductor to achieve color and emission direction switching based on the polarity of the applied voltage. The OLEA structure facilitates efficient radiation transfer and eliminates the need for transparent electrodes.
