Summary: Through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and a pig model experiment, this study found the presence of phorbol esters in croton oil. The results showed that the coagulative necrosis in deep chemical peels is mainly attributed to the action of phenol, while phorbol esters may be responsible for the dense deep acute inflammation and distinctive neocollagenesis.

Summary: Facelift alone lacks the ability to improve fine wrinkles and dyschromias. Chemical peeling, proven to be a simple and effective method with relatively good safety profile, has long relied on dogmas without real scientific basis.

Summary: This study evaluated a hydrogel containing sesamol-loaded ethylcellulose nanocapsules for the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis. The nanocapsules protected sesamol against degradation and showed high scavenging activity. The hydrogel prepared with guar gum exhibited anti-inflammatory effects and was nonirritating.

Summary: Sensory perception of virgin olive oil is influenced by phenols and volatiles, which are affected by the composition of the oil and biological factors. This study investigated the effect of saliva and phenols on the release of volatiles, and found that the presence of phenols decreased the release of saturated volatiles.

Summary: The study concluded that the total phenolic content of the pumpkin peel extract obtained by SFE was higher than that obtained by SWE, while the carotenoid content was higher in the extract obtained by SWE. The oil containing a mixture of SFE-SWE extracts showed higher oxidative stability compared to separate extracts, indicating better performance in preventing oil oxidation than TBHQ.

Summary: The chemical composition of the essential oil extracted from Croton glandulosus Linnaeus was evaluated by gas chromatography, and its phytotoxic effect on Lactuca sativa seeds was studied. The study found that the oil inhibited the development of hypocotyl and radicle of L. sativa, demonstrating its phytotoxicity.

Summary: This study successfully developed a stable nanoemulsion NECC with antifungal activity, which showed good inhibitory effects against Mucor ramosissimus and Candida albicans. The nanoemulsion also demonstrated potential to inhibit fungal extracellular proteases, while showing no hemolytic effect at the highest concentration tested.

Summary: This study presents the first report on the chemical composition and anti-Leishmania evaluation of Croton linearis essential oil (CLS-EO). The major constituents of CLS-EO were identified through analysis, and the evaluation of its antileishmanial activity showed good results. Molecular docking analysis revealed the potential binding of the major constituents with target enzymes of Leishmania. These findings provide support for further studies on the antileishmanial effect of CLS-EO.

Summary: This study summarizes the experience of the International Peeling Society on the safety and effectiveness of deep chemical peeling in the treatment of constitutional periorbital dark circles. The results show that 89% of patients had >50% clinical improvement and the median duration of improvement was 1.5-168 months.

Summary: The study investigated the chemical composition and pharmacological potential of an aqueous extract obtained from the roots of Croton heliotropiifolius, revealing its antioxidant and antifungal effects, as well as its ability to enhance the effectiveness of fluconazole. However, it showed weak antiparasitic effects.

Summary: Vascular lesions can have varying impacts on children, ranging from minor skin abnormalities to large masses that affect both form and function. It is important to accurately diagnose these lesions in order to understand their natural history and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve medical, surgical, intralesional, or laser therapy.

Summary: With the increasing use of commercial ear molding products, there has been a significant increase in literature addressing the indications and timing of perinatal intervention in auricular deformations and malformations. The reason for perinatal ear molding seems to be hormonally mediated, but the common belief that breastfeeding may lengthen the window of effective intervention lacks convincing evidence. This review discusses the common auricular anomalies, as well as the indications, timing, and methods of effective intervention, including ear molding or surgical otoplasty.
