Oral and maxillofacial emergencies: A retrospective study of 5220 cases in West China

Jing Zhou et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of the Trauma and Plastic Surgery Department in the West China Hospital of Stomatology. The results showed that males and children aged younger than 6 years were at the highest risk. The most common condition was maxillofacial injuries, mostly occurring on the forehead and caused by accidental falls. The proportion of maxillofacial space infections was not high, but severe cases could be life-threatening. Bleeding had diverse causes, but most cases were easily controlled.

Quaternized carbon quantum dots with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity for the treatment of wounds infected with mixed bacteria

Chengfei Zhao et al.

Summary: Bacterial resistance to antibiotics has become a serious global public health threat, highlighting the urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. In this study, quaternized carbon quantum dots (qCQDs) with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity were successfully synthesized. The qCQDs exhibited satisfactory antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In rat models of wound infections, qCQDs effectively restored the weight of rats, reduced the mortality rate associated with severe infection, and promoted wound recovery and healing. Biosafety tests confirmed the absence of obvious toxic and side effects during the testing phase. Proteomics analysis revealed that qCQDs primarily targeted ribosomal proteins in Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) and down-regulated proteins associated with the citrate cycle in Escherichia coli (Gram-negative bacteria). Real-time quantitative PCR confirmed the consistency between the changes in genes corresponding to these proteins and the proteomic results after qCQDs treatment, suggesting a new antibacterial mechanism of qCQDs different from previously reported carbon quantum dots with antibacterial properties.
