Effect of gamma-hydroxybutyrate on keratinocytes proliferation: A preliminary prospective controlled study in severe burn patients.

International journal of critical illness and injury science

Rousseau AF, Bargues L, Bever HL, Vest P, Cavalier E, Ledoux D, Piérard GE, Damas P.
PMID: 25024938
Int J Crit Illn Inj Sci. 2014 Apr;4(2):108-13. doi: 10.4103/2229-5151.134150.

BACKGROUND: Hypermetabolism and hyposomatotropism related to severe burns lead to impaired wound healing. Growth hormone (GH) boosts wound healing notably following stimulation of the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), a mitogen factor for keratinocytes. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) stimulates endogenous...

Production, Identification, and Toxicity of (gamma)-Decalactone and 4-Hydroxydecanoic Acid from Sporidiobolus spp.

Applied and environmental microbiology

Feron G, Dufosse L, Pierard E, Bonnarme P, Quere JL, Spinnler H.
PMID: 16535376
Appl Environ Microbiol. 1996 Aug;62(8):2826-31. doi: 10.1128/aem.62.8.2826-2831.1996.

During the bioconversion of ricinoleic acid to (gamma)-decalactone under controlled pH conditions, Sporidiobolus salmonicolor produced only the lactone form, while Sporidiobolus ruinenii produced both the lactone form and a precursor. By using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-Fourier transform...

At present, immunohistochemistry is taken for granted in the establishment of malignant melanoma (MM) diagnosis. In recent years, molecular diagnosis in dermatopathology has benefited from a vast array of advances in the fields of genomics and proteomics. Sensitive techniques...

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Graft-versus-Host Reaction: Revisiting a Puzzling Similarity.

ISRN dermatology

Piérard GE, Hermanns-Lê T, Paquet P, Rousseau AF, Delvenne P, Piérard-Franchimont C.

Drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and acute cutaneous graft-versus-host reaction (GVHR) under immunopreventive therapy share some histopathological resemblance. So far, there are no serum biomarkers and no immunohistochemical criteria distinguishing with confidence and specificity the skin lesions of TEN...
