A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Oral Propranolol for Infantile Hemangioma

1024x768 Hemangiomas are benign neoplasms composed of proliverative and hyperplastic vascular endothelium with characteristic rapid growth of initial phase followed by involution phase or regression . Hemangiomas are the most common benign vascular tumor in the naonatus . The pathogenesis of hemangiomas still can not be explained with certainty although there is some suspicion about the cause. Clinical symptoms and diagnosis of hemangioma can be seen by the growth phase of hemangioma . Most hemangiomas will regress spontaneously , but treatment as early as possible with the appropriate modality can provide better results , especially with the new therapeutic modalities such promising class of beta blockers .

Diagnosis and management of infantile hemangioma

Plant polyphenols have attracted considerable attention because of their key roles in preventing many diseases, including high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and cancer. A variety of functional foods have been designed and developed with plant polyphenols as the main active ingredients. Polyphenols mainly come from vegetables and fruits and can generally be divided according to their structure into flavonoids, astragalus, phenolic acids, and lignans. Polyphenols are a group of plant-derived functional food ingredients with different molecular structures and various biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. However, many polyphenolic compounds have low oral bioavailability, which limits the application of polyphenols in nutraceuticals. Fortunately, green bio-based nanocarriers are well suited for encapsulating, protecting, and delivering polyphenols, thereby improving their bioavailability. In this paper, the health benefits of plant polyphenols in the prevention of various diseases are summarized, with a review of the research progress into bio-based nanocarriers for the improvement of the oral bioavailability of polyphenols. Polyphenols have great potential for application as key formulations in health and nutrition products. In the future, the development of food-grade delivery carriers for the encapsulation and delivery of polyphenolic compounds could well solve the limitations of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of polyphenols for practical applications.

The article presents a literature review of the plant origin natural compounds with biocidal properties. These compounds could be used as modifiers of biodegradable materials. Modification of polymer material is one of the basic steps in its manufacturing process. Biodegradable materials play a key role in the current development of materials engineering. Natural modifiers are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and renewable. The substances contained in natural modifiers exhibit biocidal properties against bacteria and/or fungi. The article discusses polyphenols, selected phenols, naphthoquinones, triterpenoids, and phytoncides that are natural antibiotics. Due to the increasing demand for biodegradable materials and the protection of the natural environment against the negative effects of toxic substances, it is crucial to replace synthetic modifiers with plant ones. This work mentions industries where materials containing natural modifying additives could find potential applications. Moreover, the probable examples of the final products are presented. Additionally, the article points out the current world’s pandemic state and the use of materials with biocidal properties considering the epidemiological conditions.

Natural Biocidal Compounds of Plant Origin as Biodegradable Materials Modifiers.

Abstract Background Meckel’s diverticulum is a remnant of the omphalomesenteric duct and occurs in only about 2% of people. Mesodiverticular band is the congenital remnant of the vitelline artery and is an even less often occurring phenomenon. Presented case We present the case of a 56-year-old Caucasian male who was admitted to the emergency department with a very intense, sudden abdominal pain, without past abdominal surgery history. Contrast enhanced computed tomography showed a possibly ischemic closed loop of the small intestine. Urgent laparotomy was performed, during which bloody content in the peritoneal cavity and torsed loop of the small intestine with Meckel’s diverticulum were found. The bowel loop and Meckel’s diverticulum were ischemic. At the tip of Meckel’s diverticulum there was a broken fibrous band extending to mesentery with pulsating artery. We did segmental resection of small intestine including Meckel’s diverticulum and primary end-to-end anastomosis. The patient had an unremarkable postoperative hospital stay and was discharged home after 5 days. Conclusion In our case, we describe a patient with the volvulus of a segment of small bowel and Meckel’s diverticulum, which eventually led to small bowel obstruction and ischemia. It was a very rare case that required urgent surgical treatment.
