Abstract
Background Various techniques have been employed in aesthetic medicine to combat skin aging, in particular that of the facial region. Hyaluronic acid is utilized to enhance moisture levels and extracellular matrix molecules. This study aims to histologically assess the efects of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid fragments combined with amino acids (HAAM) on facial skin rejuvenation through intradermal microinjections.
Methods A total of twenty women, with an average age of 45 and ranging from 35 to 64 years old, participated in the study, including 8 in menopause and 12 in the childbearing age group. Mesotherapy was used to administer HAAM to the patients. Prior to and three months after the treatment, each patient underwent small circular punch biopsies. Ultrasound examinations were conducted using B-mode, capturing 2D images in longitudinal or transverse orientations with frequencies ranging from 5 to 13 Mega-hertz (MY LAB X8, ESAOTE, Genova, Italy). A total of 60 ultrasound examinations were taken, with 30 collected before treatment and 30 after treatment.
Results The histological analysis demonstrates an increase in fbroblast activity resulting in the production of Type III reticular collagen, as well as an increased number of blood vessels and epidermal thickness. However, the analysis of ultrasound data before and after treatment showed no statistical diference in skin thickness in malar area, chin and mandibular angle.
Conclusions Histological assessments indicate that subcutaneous infltration of HAAM has a substantial impact on the dermis of facial skin.

Key Points
Question Are glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) associated with kidney disease progression?
Findings In this genetic association study of 353 153 adults, higher genetic GLP1R gene expression as a proxy for GLP-1RAs was associated with a small reduction in the risk of kidney disease progression, even after adjusting for obesity and diabetes.
Meaning These findings support a nephroprotective role of GLP-1RAs.
IMPORTANCE Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may have nephroprotective properties beyond those related to weight loss and glycemic control.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of genetically proxied GLP-1RAs with kidney disease
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This genetic association study assembled a national retrospective cohort of veterans aged 18 years or older from the US Department of Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program between January 10, 2011, and December 31, 2021. Data were analyzed from November 2023 to February 2024.
EXPOSURES Genetic risk score for systemic GLP1R gene expression that was calculated for each study participant based on genetic variants associated with GLP1R mRNA levels across all tissue samples within the Genotype-Tissue Expression project.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary composite outcome was incident end-stage kidney disease or a 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Cox proportional hazards regression survival analysis assessed the association between genetically proxied GLP-1RAs and kidney disease progression.
RESULTS Among 353 153 individuals (92.5% men), median age was 66 years (IQR, 58.0-72.0 years) and median follow-up was 5.1 years (IQR, 3.1-7.2 years). Overall, 25.7% had diabetes, and 45.0% had obesity. A total of 4.6% experienced kidney disease progression. Overall, higher genetic GLP1R gene expression was associated with a lower risk of kidney disease progression in the unadjusted model (hazard ratio [HR], 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92-0.99; P = .02) and in the fully adjusted model accounting for baseline patient characteristics, body mass index, and the presence or absence of diabetes (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92-1.00; P = .04). The results were similar in sensitivity analyses stratified by diabetes or obesity status.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this genetic association study, higher GLP1R gene expression was associated with a small reduction in risk of kidney disease progression. These findings support pleiotropic nephroprotective mechanisms of GLP-1RAs independent of their effects on body weight and glycemic control.

创伤愈合是指机体遭受外力作用，皮肤等组织出现离断或缺损后的愈复过程，包括各种组织的再生和肉芽组织增生、瘢痕组织形成的复杂组合，表现出各种过程的协同作用。伤口创伤愈合的基本过程:急性炎症期→细胞增生期→瘢痕形成期→表皮及其它组织再生。根据损伤程度及有无感染，创伤愈合可分为一期愈合、二期愈合、三期愈合3种类型。
