Development of Freeze-Dried Hyaluronic Acid Sheets for Healing Oral Mucositis: Influence of Hyaluronic Acid Molecular Weight and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide Loading on Healing Efficacy.

Researchers tested different formulations of hyaluronic acid sheets loaded with NMN to treat severe mouth sores that occur during cancer treatment. They found that 800 kDa hyaluronic acid sheets provided the best healing results in animal studies. The NMN-loaded sheets stayed in place well and released the compound steadily, showing promise as a safe treatment for painful mouth ulcers in cancer patients.

Tendon, Ligament, and Muscle Injury, Osteotendinous, Myotendinous, and Muscle-to-Bone Junction Therapy Perspectives with Growth Factors and Stable Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC 157-A Review.

This review article examines the use of growth factors and the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 for treating injuries to tendons, ligaments, muscles, and their associated junctions with bone. The authors synthesize evidence from multiple research domains showing that BPC 157 exhibits angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties in preclinical models of musculoskeletal injury. The evidence base includes human clinical studies, animal models, and in vitro research, though this is a literature review rather than original research.

Persistent methaemoglobinaemia due to unsupervised use of topical dapsone-adapalene.

This case report documents a patient who developed persistent methemoglobinemia from unsupervised use of a topical dapsone-adapalene combination product, highlighting the risk of systemic absorption and adverse effects from unmonitored application of this dermatological agent. The patient’s methemoglobinemia was treated with methylene blue, demonstrating its effectiveness in reversing dapsone-induced oxidative damage to hemoglobin. This is a human clinical case report (low evidence level) that illustrates an important safety concern with topical dapsone use.
