    Abstract Collagen plays an important role in hemostasis and tissue repair processes. Traditional passive wound dressings like gauze, bandage, and cotton wool could hardly fit the open wounds and exerted no active effect on wound healing. Even worse, they would adhere to the skin tissue, causing dehydration and second injury upon replacement. Polyester is commonly used in the medical field and is a safe and inexpensive polymer. Due to the hydrophobic surface, polyester does not adhere to tissue; however, polyester does not have the hemostatic properties. We designed a material composed of collagen and polyester, encapsulated hydrolyzed collagen in polyester particles, and made collagen-polyester non-woven fabric by melt blowing method, The collagen content was 1% and the collagen-polyester dressing exhibited a hydrophobic nature, preventing moisture from sticking to its surface. The purpose of this study was to compare the hemostatic effect of collagen-polyester nonwovens with conventional polyester pads, and to observe the adhesion of the pads to the wound. The wound healing and shrinkage rates of collagen-polyester dressings and conventional pads were compared in a rat wound healing test. The hemostatic test showed that the polyester pads containing 1% collagen significantly shortened the bleeding time compared with the traditional polyester pads, and retained the hydrophobicity and non-adhesion properties. The collagen-polyester dressing had better angiogenesis and granulation degree than the control group on the 14th day, and reduced the wound shrinkage rate. Collagen polyester dressings have excellent hemostasis, regeneration, shrinkage reduction and non-adhering for wounds. Overall, the novel collagen-containing polyester dressing is ideal choice for wound dressings.

    Abstract Scar tissue is connective tissue formed on the wound during the wound-healing process. The most significant distinction between scar tissue and normal tissue is the appearance of covalent cross-linking and the amount of collagen fibers in the tissue. This study investigates the efficacy of four types of collagen scaffolds in promoting wound healing and regeneration in a Sprague-Dawley murine model-the histomorphology analysis of collagen scaffolds and developing a deep learning model for accurate tissue classification.

    Abstract Purpose: This paper studies the feasibility of frontal positioning of electrode to detect electroencephalographic signals.
    Methods: The experiments were conducted using a board with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) designed to stimulate SSVEP and FVEP. The flashing frequencies were conducted at 15, 23, and 31 Hz. We used the Quick Amp brain wave amplifier to collect brain wave signals at a sampling rate of 1 kHz using a frequency filter band of 10-100 Hz.
    Results: We found that the energy power of VEP will gradually increase from Oz position to Fp2 position. We analyze the data, proving that the Fp2 position can also be used to collect VEP data.
    Conclusions: Traditional measurements at the Oz location are limited because of the interference from human hair, and an additional electrode is required to detect eye movement and filter this electro-oculogram signal. Our proposed method can effectively acquire critical visually evoked potential and electro-oculogram signals without the electrode at the Oz location, which require extensive preparation of removing hair strands. We also reduced the number of electrodes used in receiving electroencephalographic signals. The frontal electrode positioning could be a remarkable breakthrough to design brain computer interface.

    Abstract The dimeric alkaloid complanadine A has shown promise in regenerative science, promoting neuronal growth by inducing the secretion of growth factors from glial cells. Through the use of tandem, cobalt-mediated [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions, two synthetic routes have been developed with different sequences for the formation of the unsymmetric bipyridyl core. The regioselective formation of each of the pyridines was achieved based on the inherent selectivity of the molecules or by reversing the regioselectivity through the addition of Lewis bases. This strategy has been successfully employed to provide laboratory access to complanadine A as well as structurally related compounds possessing the lycodine core.

    Abstract A total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid (+)-complanadine A is described. Complanadine A has been shown to induce the secretion of neurotrophic factors from 1321N1 cells, promoting the differentiation of PC-12 cells. The use of a simplifying metal mediated [2+2+2] + [2+2+2] sequence using a silyl-substituted diyne and 2 equiv of the corresponding alkyne-nitrile has provided rapid access to the natural product.

    Abstract 5-Oxo-ETE is the most powerful eosinophil chemoattractant among lipid mediators. Eosinophil infiltration into the lungs of asthmatics may be responsible for the late phase of inflammatory asthma. We have designed and synthesized a 5-oxo-ETE receptor antagonist, the purpose of which is to prevent eosinophil migration to the lung during an asthma attack and thereby reduce asthma symptoms.

    Abstract Traditionally silyl groups are deprotected with acids and fluorides. These methods are, however, less discriminating when multi-silyl groups are present in the same molecule resulting in lower yields of desired products. The manipulation of these functions during the total synthesis of natural products, e.g. prostaglandins and isoprostanes, requires the selective protection and deprotection of these groups.We are reporting here on a mild, selective and efficient method for the reductive deprotection of silyl groups using Wilkinson's catalyst/catechol borane or catechol borane alone.

    Abstract The total and stereospecific synthesis of d(4)-5-epi-8,12-iso-iPF(3alpha)-VI 55 and d(4)-8,12-iso-iPF(3alpha)-VI 64, EPA-derived all-syn-isoprostanes (iPs), has been accomplished. Because of issues related to volatility and yield with some of the primary deuterated synthons an improved synthesis is presented. These two deuterated analogs were used to discover and quantify the presence of the corresponding endogenous isoprostanes in human urine. These assays may serve as a valuable index of oxidative stress in population with omega-3 fatty acid enriched diets containing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and may also be useful as an index of the severity of inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

    Abstract Isoprostanes (iPs) are prostaglandin (PG) isomers generated by free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Urinary F₂-iPs, PGF₂α isomers derived from arachidonic acid (AA) are used as indices of lipid peroxidation in vivo. We now report the characterization of two major F₃-iPs, 5-epi-8,12-iso-iPF₃α-VI and 8,12-iso-iPF₃α-VI, derived from the ω-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Although the potential therapeutic benefits of EPA receive much attention, a shift toward a diet rich in ω-3 PUFAs may also predispose to enhanced lipid peroxidation. Urinary 5-epi-8,12-iso-iPF₃α-VI and 8,12-iso-iPF₃α-VI are highly correlated and unaltered by cyclooxygenase inhibition in humans. Fish oil dose-dependently elevates urinary F₃-iPs in mice and a shift in dietary ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs is reflected by an increasing slope [m] of the line relating urinary 8, 12-iso-iPF₃α-VI and 8,12-iso-iPF₂α-VI. Administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide evokes a reversible increase in both urinary 8,12-iso-iPF₃α-VI and 8,12-iso-iPF₂α-VI in humans on an ad lib diet. However, while excretion of the iPs is highly correlated (R² median = 0.8), [m] varies by an order of magnitude, reflecting marked inter-individual variability in the relative peroxidation of ω-3 versus ω-6 substrates. Clustered analysis of F₂- and F₃-iPs refines assessment of the oxidant stress response to an inflammatory stimulus in vivo by integrating variability in dietary intake of ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs.
