Adipose stem cells (ASCs) are detectable in the parenchyma and large airways of lungs after systemic administration, ameliorate inflammatory infiltration cell death animal models emphysema. We evaluated whether ASC treatment could attenuate lung fibrosis induced by repetitive intratracheal bleomycin administration. Male 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice (control group, bleomycin-only bleomycin-plus-ASC group) were used. Eight biweekly doses injected intratracheally via an intubation procedure at a...
AIM:To compare the effectiveness of sequential therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori ) infection with that triple varying durations. METHODS:The 460 patients enrolled in this study had H. -associated gastritis or a gastric duodenal ulcer.After screening, -infected were randomly assigned to receive either conventional 7, 10 14 d, new 10-d therapy.Each 4 treatment groups included 115 patients.The outcomes eradication assessed wk after by urea breath test and histology. RESULTS:The overall...
Background: Lower face contouring surgery has become a popular aesthetic operation in most East Asian countries. Various surgical methods are used to improve lower aesthetics. However, when patient both short and wide face, chin-lengthening procedure should be performed simultaneously with narrowing genioplasty. Autogenous bone grafts or alloplastic materials commonly correct this problem, but these have several inherent disadvantages. To avoid complications, the authors devised novel,...
The proper selection of a recipient vessel is essential for the success free tissue transfer, especially when transfer to lower extremity. However, general agreement on which use has not been reached yet. Conflicting data have reported survival and outcome transferred flaps, depending used or location anastomosis. aim this study was identify patterns problems in vessels extremity establish guideline selection. From September 1990 December 1997, 50 consecutive, microvascular, transfers were...
A plenoptic function is a parameterized describing the flow of light in space, and has served as key idea building some recent image based rendering systems. The paper presents new representation scheme, called spherical field, function, that on spheres. While methods using coordinates are thought to require substantially more computation than those planar or cylindrical coordinates, we show spheres can also be used efficiently representing resampling light. Our algorithm different from...
When the lumbosacral soft-tissue defect cannot be closed with a local flap, option of free flap should considered. However, very few cases flaps have been reported, reason being mainly difficulties in finding suitable recipient vessel. Several vessels, such as inferior gluteal vessel, extension thoracodorsal vessel vein graft were reported but each one had its own drawbacks. The superior has used donor breast reconstruction after mastectomy is thought to undesirable for microvascular...
In reconstructions around the knee, use of a free flap is indicated in limited number cases, but it plays critical role cases extensive defects or unavailability local flaps. The selection recipient vessel an essential and challenging step for successful tissue transfer. Popliteal vessels other small knee have been reported to be used as vessels, choice has not established. this study, after thorough investigation vascular anatomy at region, superior medial genicular descending were...
The fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes is essential for the prevention nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here, we generate a hepatocyte-specific CHIP knockout (H-KO) mouse model that develops NAFLD more rapidly in response to high-fat diet (HFD) or high-fat, high-fructose (HFHFD). accumulation P62 LC3 livers H-KO mice CHIP-depleted cells indicates inhibition autophagosome-lysosome fusion. AAV8-mediated overexpression murine slows progression induced by HFD HFHFD feeding....
The purpose of this prospective study was to verify and compare the strengths various blood markers fibrosis models in predicting significant liver fibrosis. One hundred fifty-eight patients with chronic disease who underwent biopsy were enrolled. mean age 41 yr male accounted for 70.2%. common causes hepatitis B (67.7%) C (16.5%) fatty (9.5%). Stages (F0-4) assessed according Batts Ludwig scoring system. Significant defined as > or =F2. Sixteen measured along biopsy, estimates hepatic...
Objective The interrelation and clinical utility of the parameters for superior migration humeral head, such as acromiohumeral interval (AHI), inferior glenohumeral distance (IGHD), upward index (UMI), in management massive rotator cuff tears are not clear. objectives this study were to identify relation between AHI, IGHD, UMI when measured with radiography MRI determine whether can predict irreparability tears. Methods We retrospectively reviewed files 64 consecutive patients who underwent...
The superior gluteal vessel has been reported as a recipient in free-tissue transfer for the coverage of complex soft-tissue defects lumbosacral region, where suitable is difficult to find. characteristics proximity, caliber, and constancy make preferable previously vessels. However, there are technical difficulties microsurgery (e.g., short pedicle length deep location) muscle injury (transection muscle) associated with use vessel. purpose this article present modification an approach...
Endoscopic mucosal resection can cure early gastric cancer. The risk of lymphatic metastasis is related to the depth submucosal invasion by malignancy, with a 500 microm generally accepted as safe cut-off. However, excessive thinning induced stretching resected tissue sometimes preventing precise diagnosis. We studied effects on different layers and sites tissue.Porcine stomachs were cut into 2.0x2.0 cm pieces, pieces from body stretched 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 cm. Pieces cardia, body, antrum also 3.0...
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) originates from regurgitation of gastric contents, a mechanism seemingly identical to gastroesophageal disease (GERD). Some researchers postulate connection between LPR and GERD, whereas some assert is apart GERD. We examined symptoms GERD patients, performed gastrointestinal endoscopy transmission electron microscopy (TEM) evaluate findings these patients.Prospective study at an academic tertiary care center.Control subjects had no or signs LPR/GERD. was...
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is an idiopathic interstitial characterized by fibroblastic tissues that occupy the lumina of alveoli and alveolar ducts or respiratory bronchioles. Although adequate doses durations glucocorticoids can improve its condition, COP sometimes resistant to glucocorticoid therapy often lethal.Herein, a very rare case ‘bronchiolar COP’ was confined bronchioles reported. This indicates macrolides may act as anti‐inflammatory agents in patients with COP. Timely...
