Summary: Granulation tissue supports and fills wounds during healing. Collagen produced by fibroblasts acts as a scaffold, facilitating the formation of new blood vessels and epithelial coverage. Protein components extracted from pilose antler were found to contain extracellular matrix components and were used in an experiment to determine their effects on collagen content and fiber synthesis during wound healing. The experiment showed that the extract promoted collagen synthesis, reduced degradation, and upregulated TGF-β expression, thus accelerating wound healing.

Summary: This study developed an engineered electroactive dressing that promotes wound healing and monitors the progress in real-time. The dressing transmits bioelectrical signals to stimulate cells and accelerate tissue restoration, while an electrode detects electrical resistance or output current to monitor the overall healing process. The system can be connected to a smartphone for wireless data transmission to medical staff and provide early warnings of potential infections.

Summary: Skin wounds significantly impact the global healthcare system, with acute and chronic wounds being the two main types. The immune response is crucial for acute wound healing, but dysregulation can lead to chronic wounds characterized by persistent inflammation and delayed healing. Current research focuses on immunomodulatory therapeutic strategies to improve wound healing, targeting factors such as macrophage phenotype and inflammatory mediators.

Summary: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that often leads to pain and infertility, causing significant impact on daily life and socio-economic burden. The main goals of therapy include reducing pain, correcting infertility, and preventing or delaying long-term complications associated with endometriosis. Despite advancements in technology and understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, there are still many debated issues in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis.

Summary: Due to the decreasing self-repairing ability, elder people are more prone to chronic wounds and slow wound healing. This study developed a hydrogel dressing by dissolving Heparin and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) in a mixing solution, which can continuously release bFGF and exhibit better wound healing effect in elderly subjects.

Summary: Wound healing is a specific biological process connected to growth and tissue regeneration. The present review paper focuses on the physiology of wound healing, medications used for treatment, and local drug delivery systems for skin wound therapy. Various cellular and matrix elements work together to restore injured tissue integrity. Enhanced local delivery methods, such as innovative systems and nanoparticles, may provide faster wound healing agents.

Summary: This systematic review summarizes the current evidence on the effect of oral or enteral probiotic therapy on wound healing in humans. The results indicate that probiotic therapy may have a positive impact on wound improvement, but strong evidence is still lacking. Further controlled clinical research is needed to explore the effects of specific probiotic strains, wound types, and target populations.

Summary: This study examines the incidence and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) following abdominal wall hernia repair, and outlines potential mitigation strategies. The results indicate that factors such as ASA score, hypertension, baseline creatinine levels, and diabetes are associated with AKI. Longer operative time is also an independent predictor of AKI.

Summary: This study examined the efficacy of procedure-specific prescribing guidelines for reducing postdischarge opioid overprescribing in plastic surgery. The results showed that the average number of opioid pills per prescription decreased after the guideline implementation, but there was no corresponding decrease in postdischarge opioid consumption. Patient satisfaction and the prescription frequency of nonopioid analgesia were also compared.

Summary: Breast augmentation is a popular aesthetic procedure and patients often rely on online information for decision-making. This study analyzes private practice plastic surgery webpages to identify patient decision-making factors and assess the readability of information regarding breast implant size selection. The major factors reported were body/tissue-based measurements and surgeon input, while other lifestyle and procedural factors were also identified. The readability analysis revealed that the webpages exceeded the recommended reading levels for medical information. Improving the readability of online resources can enhance their role in preoperative planning for breast augmentation.

Summary: This study investigated the predictive ability of the standardized letter of recommendation (SLOR) in plastic surgery residency match outcomes. It found that one question in the SLOR was highly predictive, while the remaining questions had little utility and were subject to score inflation. Further optimization of the SLOR's effectiveness is necessary to ensure the selection of professional, competent residents.
