Abstract Major burns represent a challenge in autologous skin coverage and may lead to severe functional cosmetic sequelae. Dermal substitutes are increasingly becoming an essential part of burn care during the acute phase treatment. In long term dermal improve results thus enhance quality life. chronic wound setting, used reconstruct scars defects. Despite potential substitutes, further research is required strengthen scientific evidence regarding their effects also develop new technologies...
The prevalence of nonhealing wounds is predicted to increase due the growing aging population. Despite use novel skin substitutes and wound dressings, poorly vascularized niches impair repair. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been reported provide paracrine signals promote healing, but effect human Wharton’s jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) has not yet described in normal skin. aim this study examine effects WJ-MSC signaling on fibroblasts vitro, an vivo preclinical model. Human WJ-MSCs were...
Since 2005, 11 human face transplants have been performed. In each, varying amounts of tissue transplanted. Herein we report a "full" transplant including all intact aesthetic and functional units.On March 27, 2010, performed full transplant, the soft tissues part underlaying bony structure, at University Hospital Vall d'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain. The donor was 41-year-old male, who died from massive brain hemorrhage. recipient 30-year-old male with severe facial deformity caused by ballistic...
Abstract Keloid scars are abnormal benign fibroproliferative tumors with high recurrence rates and no current efficacious treatment. Accumulating evidence suggests that human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) have antifibrotic properties. Paracrine signaling is considered one of the main underlying mechanisms behind therapeutic effects cells. However, paracrine WJ-MSCs on keloids not yet been reported. The aim this study to investigate keloid fibroblasts...
Abstract Severe burn injury causes hepatic dysfunction that results in major metabolic derangements including insulin resistance and hyperglycemia is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We have recently shown reduces ER stress improves liver function morphology; however, it not clear whether these changes are directly mediated or due to glucose alterations. Metformin an antidiabetic agent decreases by different pathways than insulin; therefore, we asked metformin affects...
Vaginoplasty is the most frequent genital gender-affirming surgery. Although both functional and aesthetic outcomes after transfeminine vaginoplasty have improved over years, cosmetic revision surgeries demand appears to be increasing requires updated knowledge.All patients who underwent vulvar at our institution following from January 2014 April 2022 were studied. The prevalence, topography surgical techniques of surgery examined using clinical charts review statistical analysis.During...
