Ulcer is a lesion on the surface of the skin or a mucous surface, produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue.
Questions related to Ulcer
In case of diabetes, there were several evidence of prolonged inflammation due to interruption of m1 to m2 macrophage polarization. So if anyone want to promote wound healing in case of diabetic ulcer how to target M1 macrophage and induce its polarization towards M2, which proteins need to be targeted ?
Endoform™ Antimicrobial is indicated for the management of acute and chronic wounds including partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, chronic vascular ulcers, tunneled/undermined wounds, surgical wounds (donor sites, grafts, post-Mohs surgery, post-laser surgery, podiatric and wound dehiscence), traumatic wounds (abrasions, lacerations, second-degree burns and skin tears) and draining wounds.
Despite many attempts I am still unable to find the original version of this paper and would appreciate if anyone can locate it for us:

I have implanted a tumoral cell line subcutaneously in nude mice.
After intratumoral gene therapy treatment, a subgroup of mice develops ulcerated tumors.
Any idea how to avoid this?.
For Eye Ulcer prediction we need image dataset, kindly share where to get those.
I want to test if having a previous ulcer (Yes/No question) influences a diabetic patients level of knowledge (questionnaire- scale data) and practice of footcare (questionnaire-scale data). What statistical test should I use?
1- Surgical excision followed by diet, biofeedback, APC and Sucralfate
or
2- Endoscopic debulking followed by diet, biofeedback, APC and Sucralfate?
I have a set of experiments trying to stop the activity or expansion of the rot produced with these bacteria
A 58 years old male reports to you with a fissure like ulcer on the elevated part of lingual ridge from the past 2 months. he further tells two episodes of whitish flakes coming out from the fissure. his medical records show that he is under medication for multiple myeloma for the past 8 months.
what is your likely diagnosis and how would you manage the case?
We have measured over time the weight loss, disease symptoms (weight loss; stool consistency, rectal prolapse, rectal bleeding; spine curvature) and colon histological changes (leukocyte infiltration, goblet cell depletion, epithelial hyperplasia, crypt size, and submucosal inflammation and ulceration) after H&E staining in 2% DSS treated 8–12-week-old C57bl6/j mouse. Colon histological changes have been studied at day 8, the point of higher weight loss before weight recovery (DSS for 5 days+3 days of water).
We have compared a control group versus our group of study (Study-group).
After independently repeating the experiments several times, we have consistently observed:
-no differences in weight loss overtime between groups
-statistically significant REDUCTION of disease symptoms in the study group
-but significant INCREASE in colon histological damage in the study group (particularly in leukocyte infiltration, goblet cell depletion, crypt damage and ulcerations).
It is well stablished the correlation between disease symptoms and colon histological damage, but we have not observed this effect this time.
Could you help me to explain this discrepancy?
What could be the mechanisms related to these two different effects?
Do you know any reference in the literature explaining this potential contradictory results?
Attending to our results, do you think that our study group is suffering from less or increased IBD?
For the interest of the IBD in patients, is it more important to reduce the symptomatology or improve the tissue damage? How could we study these two points in our model? Any recommendation?
Thank you
Sincerely

Most of the dissolution tests use 900 mL of medium. How was this volume defined? Is there any correlation with the volume of gastric fluid in humans?

Recently, we have injected s.c. B16F10 tumor cells in BL/6 mice. At around 12-15th day some animals showed ulcerations in tumors , with a big hole in the middle (it looks like a volcano). We have also observed this problem in MC38 and EG7 tumors. This did not happen to us so often until now. Any suggestion or personal experience that helps us to resolve this issue will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
in fact i want to understand why some ophthalmonyiasis cases acompiend with ulcer
i also want to know what are the expected bacterial species are responsible for this type of ulcers
if there any research can save me
We are conducting a meta-analysis that includes primary studies which compare different support surfaces for the prevention of pression ulcers. We have come across a cross-over trial and we are not quite sure of how to introduce data into Revman. We are thinking of adding up results from both periods and making the study similar to a parallel trial but we don´t know if this approach is correct.
Ulcer is more in the northern part of Nigeria. Which plant source have the potential to cure or kill the ulcer bacteria?

On your web pages there is an article by Telichowska KS with bibliographic data of the Integrative Molecular Medicine (IMM) journal (Telichowska KS (2019) Wound coverage by linen dressing accelerate ulcer healing. Volume 6: 1-3. Integr Mol Med, 2019 doi: 10.15761/IMM.1000371)). Unfortunately, there is no such article on the IMM's page. The article was withdrawn a few months ago from OAtext publisher pageges, remove it from your pages.

The formulation is meant to give a prolonged release locally and is meant to be coated over an implant to provide pain relief caused due to the same.
This question is aimed to refer good quality and authentic reference book/text book publication for proper understanding of diagnosis and management of the various non healing ulcers including diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial ulcers, infected ulcers, cellulitic ulcers, trophic and tropical ulcers, burns management etc.
Aphthous Ulcer is common during stressful condition. As reactivation of HSV is always associated with decreased immunity due to any cause. Decreased immunity is most common during prolong stress and so we can imply aphthous ulcer to reactivation of HSV. Recurrence of stress is common and so recurrence of aphthous ulcer also common. This recurrence can be prevented by levamisole for many years.
Hi all,
I would like to know how do you optimize colitis model in mice/rats. It is known that females are more resistant than males itself but I have some issues on ulceration between male animals too. What is the best amount of TNBS and the ratio of TNBS/Ethanol in practice?
Thanks in advance
Recently, I implanted breast MDA-MB-231 tumor cells in NSG mice. Surprisingly, some mice showed ulceration in their tumors at tumor size around 200-300 mm3 much below the humane endpoint. I never observed such problem with other tumor xenografts I did in the past such as small cell lung cancer H146 and ALL MOLT-4 xenografts. Although I used CB-17 SCID mice for those studies. I am wondering whether this is common with this cell line or mice strain or the combination of both? Any suggestions or personal experience will be appreciated.
Thanks

I am trying to grow B16F10 melanoma cell line in RAG-/- mice, the process used to work perfectly but now I have some problems with the tumor, it looks ulcerated and doesn't grow the same way !! I have genotyped my RAG mice and they don't express any CD4, CD8 or B cells. I will check mycoplasma contamination but would like to know if there are any other things I should look for !! Thanks in advance
We have a case where a 13 years old female mixed dog with insulinoma underwent surgery to remove a well-encapsulated insulinoma. After the surgery it was treated with toceranib fosfat (Palladia). Before the surgery this dog had hipoclucemic crysis and after the surgery those still appears more frequently than before. So we want to know if those attacks are real hypoglycemic crisis or are related with hipokalemia so how the serum potassium behaves? Greetings.

Curling in 1842 was the first to describe detail that, Acute gastroduodenal erotions and Gastric ulcers can be associated to burning injuries nomely "Curling's ulceration".
Specifically I think of children on (1) NSAIDS, (2) systemic steroids, and (3) in critically ill children (i.e., stress ulcer prophylaxis)? What medications are recommended and which doses should be used? Does the start of a prophylaxis depend on (1) planned duration of the NSAIDs/steroid treatement (or do you start prophylaxis in any case?), (2) the dosages of NSAIDs/steroids applied, (3) the type of NSAIDS used, and (4) the presence of certain risk factors (like in adults)? However, if there are no widely acknowledged recommendations (I am afraid this is the case) how do you handle this problem in your hospital/department?

In sexually transmitted infections, it is important to differentiate a painful ulcer from a painless one. This is because painless ulcers are seen in the chancre of primary syphilis while painful tender ones are seen in Herpes and though rare, in chancroid (H. ducreyi).
I can guess that it must be due to peripheral nerves, but how does this happen?
In my literature review, I have so far found only one case study of an ulcerating malignant wounds / lesions being successfully healed using proper wound bed preparation and the TIME paradigm. Hardly any available literature indicates these types of wounds can be healed; they are usually managed with conventional methods of topical agents, debriding, dressings, and pain management if radiation treatment, chemotherapy or surgery are not deemed suitable or have been ineffective.
I am working upon naproxen as an an anti- inflammatory and analgesic agent
However naproxen is reported as gastrointestinal ulcer causing drug. How
ulceration can be controlled while using naproxen as an active ingredient?.
One my surgical colleagues has a referred a patient to me who has suffered chronic ulcerative lesions in her perineal area for several years and has undergone multiple surgical procedures. Specimens from the affected perianal area have yielded a variety of microorganisms over the past three years and as a result she has received multiple courses of antibiotics but with little or no effect.
Given her prolonged history of recurrent skin and soft tissue infection, the chronic course of the illness and her poor response to antibiotics, I believe that this may be a case of Pyoderma gangrenosum.
Many thanks in anticipation for your advice and helpful comments
Kind regards

Unfortunately, many people still depend on Aspirin as a rapid analgesic for many chronic diseases for a long time, their stomach is subjected to ulcer, and recently some researches recommend Aspirin for cardiac patients although many selective COX inhibitors are discovered, that's made me ask why these researches ignore the other risks for Aspirin.

History of 2 weeks fever with pain upper abdomen without any bowel symptoms.

We have run across a tumor cell line with a high-incidence of ulceration formation (leading to early euthanization in tumor-growth experiments). During a conversation with another group the idea of using Matrigel during injections was suggested as a means of preventing this.
Does anyone have any relevant experience with this solution (Subcutaneous injections)?
Alternatively does anyone have suggestions for reducing incidences of tumor ulcerations?

I am a psychology student and I am currently searching for the cause of ulcers. (gastric- peptic- or dudodenal) related to psychological or psychophysiological factors. I think that ulcers are not primarily caused by stress. Does anyone know good research regarding this topic?
Should I assess the GI damage of a 4-week period of NSAID use by endoscopy, histology or Visual Analogue Scale for dyspeptic symptoms? Which one would be the best choice to show the damage?
Most of the research papers available are anti-ulcer activities of so and so drug. Is it a correct term for natural drugs, because mostly they are used for prevention of ulcer, not for treatment. I think instead of anti-ulcer, gastro-protective is the right term for such drugs.
I gone through many papers that they calculated the ulcer index in the stomach of a rat model. They gave some score depending on the ulcer's color and size. I don't understand how to give the score and how to calculate the UI. Kindly let me about this or suggest any other method to calculate the UI.
Corticosteroids like prednisolone are effective in controlling severe idiopathic oral ulcers. Their use though is not without side effects especially when prescribed in high doses and for long periods.
