Objective. Diminished wound healing is a common problem in diabetic patients due to diminished angiogenesis. SHMSP was found to promote angiogenesis. The present study was carried out to examine the effect of this peptide in healing of wounds in diabetic rabbits.Materials and Methods. Twenty male New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Diabetes mellitus was induced and the rabbits were randomly divided into two equal groups: control group and peptide group. A-full thickness punch biopsy was made to create a wound of about 10 mm on the right ears of all rabbits. Every day, the wound was cleaned with saline in control groups. In the peptide group, 15 mg of SHMSP was applied after cleaning. On day 15th, all animals were sacrificed, and the wounds were excised with a rim of 5 mm of normal surrounding tissue. Histo-pathological assessment of wound healing, inflammatory cell infiltration, blood vessel proliferation, and collagen deposition was performed.Results. There were no deaths among the groups. There was significant increase in wound healing, blood vessel proliferation and collagen deposition, and significant decrease in inflammatory cell infiltration in the peptide group compared to the control group.Conclusion. Topical application of SHMSP improves wound healing in diabetic rabbits.

Background: Wound healing has a vital importance for the organism and various agents are used to accelerate wound healing. Although the effect of boron on wound healing is known, its mechanisms are not completely clear yet. In this study, the effect of boron in the Ephrin /Eph pathway will be evaluated. Methods: Forty adult female rats were used in the study. A full-thickness excisional wound model was created in all groups divided as Control, Fito, Boron and Plu groups. After the applications performed twice a day and lasting 7 days, skin tissues obtained and evaluated histopathological (inflammatory cell infiltration, oedema, and fibroblast proliferation density) and immunohistochemical (TNF-α, EphrinA1, EphrinB1, EphrinB2 and EphB4). Results: Inflammatory cell infiltration score was found to be higher in the Fito group compared to Boron group (p = .018). Fibroblast proliferation density was higher in Plu group than Boron group (p = .012). While TNF-α was lower in boron group than Plu (p = .027) and Fito (p = .016) groups, EphrinA1 was higher in Boron group than Plu group (p = .005). EphrinB1 expression was higher in Boron group compared to Plu (p = .015) and Fito (p = .015) groups, and the same difference was also observed in EphrinB2 (p values .000). Similarly, EphB4 immunoreactivity was higher in the Boron group compared to Plu (p = .000) and Fito (p = .002). Conclusion: One of the mechanisms of action of boron in wound healing is to increase EphrinB1, EphrinB2 and EphB4. Low TNF-α and histopathological findings indicate that boron limits extensive wound healing.

This study aimed to understand the role of IL-10 secreted from bone marrow (BM) in a mouse model of pancreatic fibrosis. The severity of cerulein-induced inflammation, fibrosis, and the frequency of BM-derived myofibroblasts were evaluated in the pancreas of mice receiving either a wild-type (WT) BM or an IL-10 knockout (KO) BM transplantation. The area of collagen deposition increased significantly in the 3 weeks after cerulein cessation in mice with an IL-10 KO BM transplant (13.7 ± 0.6% and 18.4 ± 1.1%,p< 0.05), but no further increase was seen in WT BM recipients over this time. The percentage of BM-derived myofibroblasts also increased in the pancreas of the IL-10 KO BM recipients after cessation of cerulein (6.7 ± 1.1% and 11.9 ± 1.3%,p< 0.05), while this figure fell in WT BM recipients after cerulein withdrawal. Furthermore, macrophages were more numerous in the IL-10 KO BM recipients than the WT BM recipients after cerulein cessation (23.2 ± 2.3 versus 15.3 ± 1.7 per HPF,p< 0.05). In conclusion, the degree of fibrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, and the number of BM-derived myofibroblasts were significantly different between IL-10 KO BM and WT BM transplanted mice, highlighting a likely role of IL-10 in pancreatitis.

There are many studies of single lung ventilation (SLV), which are mostly limited to reducing lung damage by changing ventilation strategies or comparing differences in lung damage caused by different lung isolation devices. There is no study comparing the morphological changes of ventilated lungs using different strategies of artificial lung ventilation. The aim of the study was to examine pathomorphological changes in the ventilated lung during thoracic surgery using SLV. A randomized study was performed on 40 patients who underwent thoracic surgery using SLV. After signing the informed consent, the patients were divided into two groups. In the control group (40 patients) with ventilation “by volume” (VCV), in the study group – ventilation “by pressure” (PCV) with the addition of PEEP 5 mm. During surgery in the thoracic cavity with the help of SLV performed transbronchial biopsy of the parenchyma of the ventilated lung to study the pathomorphological changes after ventilation with different modes. The biopsy was performed using a bronchoscope, which was inserted through the endotracheal tube into the lung, opposite the side of the operation (after the end of SLV and “inclusion” of the collapsed lung). The morphological changes caused by the ventilator were investigated. Pathomorphological examination of the non-collapsed lung (which participated in gas exchange during SLV) was as follows: the control group found significant changes in the alveolar wall with its edema, thickening of the interstitial lung, vascular occlusion, severe inflammatory cell infiltration and damage to alveolar structures. The alveoli collapsed and disappeared. The alveolar structures of the study group were better than the control group: pulmonary interstitial and alveolar exudates, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration were significantly reduced compared to those in the control group. The results of the study suggest that the use of PCV with “moderate” PEEP can significantly improve oxygenation and reduce acute ventilatory injury of the lungs compared to VCV during SLV.

Background and Purpose: Microparticles (MPs, ~ size between 0.1-1mm) are lipid encased containers, and are involved in intercellular communication and regulate inflammation. Stroke increases brain derived MP (BDMP) secretion which induces neuroinflammation. Milk fat globule-EGF factor-8 (MFGE8) promotes apoptotic cell clearance and limits pathogenic antigen cross presentation. In this study, we investigate whether BDMP affects stroke-induced neuroinflammation; whether MFGE8 treatment reduces stroke or BDMP-induced neuroinflammation and improves functional outcome after stroke. Method: 1) BDMPs were extracted from ischemic brain 24h after dMCAo by ultracentrifugation. 2) Adult (8 months) male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to dMCAo and were injected via tail vein 3h after stroke with: A) PBS (n=5/group); B) +BDMP(1.5х10 8 ,n=6/group); C)+MFGE8 (Lactadherin, 400ug/kg, n=5/group); D) +BDMP+MFGE8 (n=6/group). A battery of neurological function outcomes and immunostaining were performed. Blood plasma was used for Western blot assay. Result: 1) Compared with the Stroke+PBS control group, Stroke+BDMP significantly increases inflammatory factor expression in the circulation, increases lesion volume, neurological deficits, blood brain barrier (BBB) leakage, microglial activation, and inflammatory cell infiltration (CD45, microglia/macrophage, Neutrophils) and inflammatory factor (TNFα, IL6, IL1β) expression in brain, and increases axon/white matter (WM) damage; 2) Compared to Stroke+PBS and Stroke+BDMP groups, Stroke+MFGE8 and Stroke+BDMP+MFGE8 mice exhibited significantly improved neurological outcome; decreased lesion volume and BBB leakage, reduced axon/WM damage, and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory factor expression in the ischemic border, respectively. MFGE8 treatment significantly increased anti-inflammatory factor (IL10) expression in ischemic brain, and decreased IL1β expression in circulation compared to Stroke+PBS and Stroke+BDMP groups, respectively. Conclusion: BDMP increases neuroinflammation and induces worse brain damage after stroke. MFGE8 treatment reduces stroke and BDMP-induced neurological deficits possibly via its anti-inflammatory effects.

To explore the effects of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF-1) pretreatment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice. BMSCs were cultured and treated with SDF-1 to detect osteogenic and adipogenic ability. Cisplatin (20 mg/kg) was used to establish AKI model and then divided into blank group, control group 2 (BMSCs injection), and experimental group (intraperitoneal injection of BMSCs treated with SDF-1 (80 ng/ml)) followed by analysis of serum cytokines (Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukine-6 (IL-6)) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In cultured BMSCs, positive rates of CD29, CD44, CD45, and CD11b were 98.2%, 97.6%, 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. When the concentration of SDF-1 was within 80 ng/mL, the chemotaxis and proliferation ability was dose-dependent (p < 0.05). SDF-1 pretreatment did not affect BMSCs adipogenic and osteogenic abilities. The creatinine and serum cytokines (TLR4, TNF-α, and IL-6) level in experimental group showed statistical significance (p < 0.05). At 24 h, thrombosis and tubular dilatation in the mesangial region of control group 2 and experimental group under light microscope were similar without difference of inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis. At 72 h, the glomerular mesangium widened in control group 2 with focal segmental sclerosis, renal tubules dilated, and protein casts and inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis. Experimental group showed a small amount of cell proliferation in the glomerular mesangium with few inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis. SDF-1 can enhance the migration and proliferation activity of BMSCs, reduce extracellular matrix precipitation, improve renal fibrosis, and alleviate AKI.

Smoking habits have been around since ancient times, but nowadays this habit is considered to be detrimental, especially to health. The impact that is often felt by smokers is difficulty in breathing because the lungs are exposed to cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains about 1015-1017 oxidants or free radicals, as well as 4700 harmful chemicals, including aldehydes / carbonyls, NO2, and SO2. Herbal cigarettes are tobacco cigarettes with added ingredients from plants. Gurah terapi sin cigarettes are herbal cigarettes that are sold commercially. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of gurah cigarette smoking on the leukocytes and lung histology of mice. This study used a comparative method consisting of 3 groups, namely the control was not exposed to cigarette smoke, treatment 1 was exposed to commercial cigarette smoke and treatment 2 was exposed to cigarette smoke with herbal ingredients and each group consisted of 10 replications. The results showed that there were significant differences (p <0.05) regarding the number of cell necrosis, type II pneumocytes, inflammatory cell infiltration, hemorrhage, and alveolar dilation. While the results of the analysis of the number of leukocytes showed no significant difference where p > 0.05. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the number of leukocytes in the control group, treatment 1 and treatment 2 (p > 0.05). herbs containing various kinds of antioxidants cause a tendency for differences in the number of leukocytes where there is a decrease in the number of lymphocytes and neutrophils and an improvement in the histopathological structure of the lung against type I pneumocyte cell necrosis, hemorrhage, alveolar dilation, type II pneumocyte cell proliferation, and inflammatory cell infiltration in exposed mice. commercial cigarette smoke without herbal ingredients.

Abstract Introduction: Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced experimental colitis in animals is a commonly used model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Eugenol (Eug) is a natural phenolic compound possessing promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapeutic properties. Aim: The present study investigated the effects of Eug in a TNBS-induced rat colitis model using criteria for histopathological evaluation of the colonic damage. Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into 6 experimental groups, each of 10 rats: Control, TNBS, TNBS+Eug1, TNBS+Eug5, TNBS+Eug25, and TNBS+Eug125 group. Eug or the solvent (sunflower oil) was applied orally using an orogastric cannula. The control group and TNBS group were treated only with sunflower oil. Eug groups were treated with corresponding doses of Eug (1, 5, 25 and 125 mg/kg) dissolved in sunflower oil. Colitis was induced by the application of TNBS in the colon. The animal treatment began 6 days before the colitis induction and continued for 8 days after it. At the end of the experiment, colitis severity was evaluated histopathologically regarding epithelium injury, inflammatory cell infiltration, and formation of granulation tissue. Results: In all TNBS+Eug groups, the formation of granulation tissue was enhanced compared to TNBS. In group TNBS+Eug125 the difference was significant compared to the control group (p < 0.05). No significant improvement regarding the scores of epithelium injury and inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in Eug groups compared to TNBS group. Conclusion: Eug did not improve the signs of TNBS-induced epithelial injury and inflammatory cell infiltration, but stimulated the formation of granulation tissue which might be considered as a sign of healing.
