The impact of COVID-19 has not been well investigated among burned patients. We suspect that patients will have worsened respiratory and thrombotic complications, ultimately leading to increased mortality. The objective of this study is to determine the impact a concurrent infection of COVID-19 has on clinical outcomes after a burn injury. Methods This is a retrospective, propensity matched, cohort study. We examined a de-identified database of electronic medical records of over 75 million patients across 75 health care associations in the United States for patients treated for thermal burns from 1 January 2020, to 31 July 2021, and those who also were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection within one day before or after injury based on International Classification of Disease, tenth revision (ICD-10) codes. Study participants included adults who were treated for a burn injury during the study period. Results We included 736 patients with burn injury and concomitant COVID-19 infection matched to 736 patients with burn injury and no concurrent COVID-19 infection (total 1472 patients, mean age 36.3 ± 24.3). We found no significant increase in mortality observed for patients with concurrent COVID-19 (OR 1.203, 95% CI 0.517–2.803; p = 0.6675). We did observe significant increase in infections (OR 3.537, 95% CI 2.798–4.471; p = 0.0001), thrombotic complications (OR 2.342, 95% CI 1.351–4.058; p = 0.0018), as was the incidence of hypertrophic scarring (OR 3.368, 95% CI 2.326–4.877; p = 0.0001). Conclusions We observed that concurrent COVID-19 infection was associated with an increase in infections, thrombosis and hypertrophic scarring but no increase in mortality in our cohort of burn patients.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138550686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outcomes of ischemic stroke are largely determined by the amount of ischemia-related and reperfusion-related neuronal death in the infarct region.

However, numerous studies have recently found that a certain type of necrosis can be regulated and potentially modified by drugs and is nonapoptotic; this type of necrosis is referred to as regulated necrosis. Depending on the signaling pathway, various elements of regulated necrosis contribute to the development of ischemic stroke, such as necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, pathanatos, mitochondrial permeability transition pore-mediated necrosis and oncosis. In this review, we aim to summarize the underlying molecular mechanisms of regulated necrosis in ischemic stroke and explore the crosstalk and interplay among the diverse types of regulated necrosis.

Numerous studies have shown that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from stem/progenitor cells promote wound healing, reduce scar formation and have significant advantages over traditional treatment methods. EVs are membranous particles that carry various bioactive molecules from their cellular origins, such as cytokines, nucleic acids, enzymes, lipids and proteins. EVs can mediate cell-to-cell communication and modulate various physiological processes, such as cell differentiation, angiogenesis, immune response and tissue remodelling. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in EV-based wound healing, focusing on the signalling pathways that are regulated by EVs and their cargos. We discuss how EVs derived from different types of stem/progenitor cells can promote wound healing and reduce scar formation by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin, vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor β and JAK–STAT pathways.

Therefore, it is important to develop novel drug candidates and discover new therapeutic targets. However, reports on peptides as molecular probes for resolving issues related to DFUs remain rare. This study utilized peptide RL-QN15 as an exogenous molecular probe to investigate the underlying mechanism of endogenous non-coding RNA in DFU wound healing. The aim was to generate novel insights for the clinical management of DFUs and identify potential drug targets. Methods We investigated the wound-healing efficiency of peptide RL-QN15 under diabetic conditions using in vitro and in vivo experimental models. RNA sequencing, in vitro transfection, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, dual luciferase reporter gene detection, in vitro cell scratches, and cell proliferation and migration assays were performed to explore the potential mechanism underlying the promoting effects of RL-QN15 on DFU repair. Results Peptide RL-QN15 enhanced the migration and proliferation of human immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) in a high-glucose environment and accelerated wound healing in a DFU rat model. Based on results from RNA sequencing, we defined a new microRNA (miR-4482-3p) related to the promotion of wound healing. The bioactivity of miR-4482-3p was verified by inhibiting and overexpressing miR-4482-3p. Inhibition of miR-4482-3p enhanced the migration and proliferation ability of HaCaT cells as well as the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB). RL-QN15 also promoted the migration and proliferation ability of HaCaT cells, and VEGFB expression was mediated via inhibition of miR-4482-3p expression by the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and smad3 signaling pathways. Conclusions RL-QN15 is an effective molecule for the treatment of DFUs, with the underlying mechanism related to the inhibition of miR-4482-3p expression via the p38MAPK and smad3 signaling pathways, ultimately promoting re-epithelialization, angiogenesis and wound healing. This study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of RL-QN15 as a molecular probe in promoting DFU wound healing.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138293372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
