Abstract Introduction A range of behavioral testing paradigms have been developed for the research central and peripheral nerve injuries with help small animal models. Following any repair strategy, improved functional outcome may be most important evidence axon regeneration. novel automated gait analysis system, CatWalk ™ , can measure dynamic as well static patterns animals. Of interest in detecting recovery are particular parameters, coordination measures, intensity animals paw prints....
Introduction Up to one-fifth of breast cancer survivors will develop chronic cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). To date, complex physical decongestion therapy (CDT) is the gold standard treatment. However, it mainly symptomatic and often ineffective in preventing BCRL progression. Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) vascularised lymph node transfer (VLNT) are microsurgical techniques that aim restore lymphatic drainage. This international randomised trial aims evaluate advantages interventions...
Tissue engineering is a popular topic in peripheral nerve repair. Combining conduit with supporting adipose-derived cells could offer an opportunity to prevent time-consuming Schwann cell culture or the use of autograft its donor site morbidity and eventually improve clinical outcome. The aim this study was provide broad overview over promising transplantable under equal experimental conditions long-term period. A 10-mm gap sciatic female Sprague-Dawley rats (7 groups 7 animals, 8 weeks old)...
Traumatic nerve injuries are a major clinical challenge. Tissue engineering using combination of conduits and cell-based therapies represents promising approach to repair. The aim this study was examine the regeneration potential human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) after transplantation in nonautogenous setting compare them with autogenous rat ASCs (rASCs) for early peripheral regeneration. Furthermore, use MRI assess continuous process elaborated. sciatic injury model female...
Autologous fat grafting (AFG) to the breast is a frequent procedure in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Despite pure volume gain, questions remain regarding engraftment rate, quality, longevity. Little known about role of recipient tissue or innervation grafted area. The goal this study was determine optimal layer muscular pretreatment AFG. Fat breast, pectoralis muscle, adjacent subcutaneous 42 rats. Nerve treatment included excision nerve segment, botulinum toxin (BTX) injection, no...
Abstract Background The aim was to evaluate the regenerative effect of epineural injection rat ASC s ( rASC s) in three different settings acute and chronic compression a sciatic nerve model. Methods Acute (60 with vessel clamp over distance 1 mm (group 1) or 10 2), as well permanent remaining, nonabsorbable polymeric clip 3) performed. Depending on group, either 5 × 6 same volume (25 μl) culture medium CM ) injected 30G needle epineurium at time compression. Outcome measures were functional...

Breast reconstruction is recognized as an integrated part of breast cancer treatment today. Depending on tumor characteristics, different types partial and total resections are indicated: tumorectomy, nipple/skin sparing or complete mastectomy. Patients' desires, general health status body shape, well the necessity adjuvant therapies, lead to individual plan. Next implant-based reconstructions, autologous reconstructions play a great role, including local, pedicled free flaps fat grafting....
Introduction. Soft tissue defects over functional structures represent a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon. Often complex, procedures are required. Occasionally, elderly or sick patients do not qualify these extensive procedures. Case. We present case of 91-year-old lady with large hemifacial defect exposed bone and nerves after tumor resection. first performed radical resection including fascia temporalis muscle frontal branch facial nerve. Due to moribund patient potentially high...

Brooke-Spiegler Syndrome (BSS) is a very rare autosomal dominant hereditary disease which arises from heterozygous mutations in the CYLD gene. Patients with BSS are predisposed to multiple skin appendage tumors such as cylindromas, benign occurring mainly on scalp. The mostly appear around puberty and usually show slow growth throughout life. Malignant cylindroma formation patients has been reported. Apart skin, major minor salivary glands have rarely involved.We here report case of...
Introduction: We treated a patient suffering from generalized eruptive keratoacanthomas, also known as Grzybowski syndrome. Since its first description in 1950, around 40 cases were reported worldwide. Materials and Methods: A 66-year old woman with bilateral eyelid cicatricial ectropions was referred to our plastic surgery department. This previously diagnosed keratoacanthomas of type. Her periocular skin thickened cobblestone appearance. Cicatricial involved both upper lower eyelids on the...

Das Arteriae-Interosseae System am Vorderarm mit der A. interossea communis und anterior posterior bietet Grundlage für eine Vielzahl von gestielten freien mikrovaskulären Lappenplastiken. Beschrieben sind die distal proximal Interosseus Lappenplastiken [1], [2] deren freie mikrovaskuläre Varianten [3], [4]], inklusive chimären Lappenplastiken, welche zwei oder drei Inseln derselben Arterie beinhalten Insel beiden Arterien in Lappenplastik integrieren [5]. Ebenfalls beschrieben ist gestielte...
