Summary: The study demonstrates that implantation of young fibroblasts in aging rats restores cell density, revitalizes cell proliferation, rejuvenates collagen I and III matrices, and boosts epidermal stem cell proliferation. The transplantation of skin stem cells also reduces blistering in rats with Dominant Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bulosa (DDEB). The findings suggest that this intervention can change tissue homeostasis, leading to overall skin restoration and rejuvenation as well as the healing of DDEB skin.

Summary: Fifteen years after their discovery, telocytes (TCs) are still considered a new type of stromal cell. They are found in various organs, including the skin, and are involved in diverse spatial relations with other interstitial elements. Studying dermal TCs could provide insights into skin regeneration and offer potential therapeutic alternatives for treating skin defects.

Summary: This study evaluated the dual-depth targeting capability of a novel dual-length microneedle radiofrequency (DLMR) device on human facial skin. The results demonstrated that the DLMR device successfully induced thermal stimulation in the papillary and reticular dermis, leading to changes in the epidermis and dermis, as well as an increase in collagen content. These findings suggest the potential clinical application of the DLMR device in full-thickness skin rejuvenation.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of 15 Mendelian stroke genes and their relationships with clinical and neuroimaging characteristics. Among 1,033 patients, 131 (12.7%) had clinically relevant genetic variants (CRGVs), most frequently in the RNF213 gene. The majority of patients with CRGVs did not exhibit typical features of the corresponding monogenic disorders.

Summary: This study found that the association between admission hyperglycemia and early vascular outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) varied depending on stroke subtype. The interaction analysis showed significant differences in 3-month stroke and the composite of stroke, MI, and all-cause mortality between hyperglycemia groups and stroke subtypes. Recurrence risk was highest in the cardioembolism (CE) subtype, intermediate in the large artery atherothrombosis (LAA) subtype, and lowest in the small vessel occlusion (SVO) subtype.

Summary: This study investigated the association between radiological thrombus characteristics and treatment details with distal embolization (DE) in endovascular treatment (EVT). The factors associated with DE were thrombus length, balloon guide catheter use, and number of passes. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) was found to reduce the risk of DE in patients with hyperdense artery sign.

Summary: The goal of this study is to determine whether a longer duration of dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel-aspirin can reduce the risk of recurrent vascular events in patients with large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke subtype. This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized study comparing the efficacy and safety of a 12-month duration of DAPT versus a 3-month duration of DAPT in LAA stroke subtype patients. The results of this study will help stroke physicians determine the appropriate duration of dual therapy for LAA stroke subtype patients.

Summary: In this study, the mechanical properties of a laser-powder bed fusion processed Fe-15Cr-6Ni-6Mn alloy were investigated. With optimized processing parameters, the alloy achieved comparable tensile strength and elongation to recent additively manufactured 3XX stainless steels. However, at cryogenic temperature, the reduced stacking fault energy in the alloy leads to accelerated martensitic transformation and ductility degradation.

Summary: Female patients with acute ischemic stroke have greater stroke severity and higher risk of early neurologic deterioration, leading to lower functional independence at 3 months compared to male patients. These differences may be attributed to variations in infarct locations and their impact on neurological outcomes.

Summary: Two hair color shampoos with different dyeing principles were compared in this study. The shampoo based on hair coating enhanced the dyeing effect and roughness, while the shampoo based on hair oxidation improved the color retention and moisture content in the hair. The two products had similar effects on frictional resistance, gloss, and elasticity of the hair.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral palmitoleic acid in improving skin barrier, elasticity, and wrinkle formation in adult women. The results showed that palmitoleic acid significantly improved skin hydration and transepidermal water loss. However, it did not show significant improvements in skin elasticity, surface roughness, eye wrinkle volume, wrinkle severity, and participant-assessed clinical improvement score.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of arterial tortuosity and thrombus characteristics on the relationship between first-line EVT strategy and angiographic outcomes. The results showed that arterial tortuosity had a significant effect on first-pass effect (FPE) in patients using contact aspiration (CA). There was also an interaction between thrombus length and first-line strategy, with longer thrombi requiring more passes in the CA group.
