The promotion of wound healing using dermal substitutes has become increasingly widespread, but the outcomes substitute-assisted remain functionally deficient. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have been investigated widely in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, they potential to enhance healing. In this study, we focused on investigating effects mechanism ASCs combined with an acellular matrix (ADM) treat full-thickness cutaneous wounds a murine model.The ADM was prepared from...
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves and twigs Lithocarpus litseifolius corneus resulted in isolation four new triterpenoids (1: -4: ), three (5: -7: ) isolated from a natural source for first time, six known compounds (8: -13: ). In addition, (14: -17: were L. corneus. Compound 1: is 3,4-seco-lupane-type triterpenoid, 2: are lupane-type different oxidation states. The structures all identified by spectroscopic methods, especially NMR mass spectrometry data. absolute configuration 3:...
Background: Cholangiocarcinoma is a malignant neoplasm arising from the biliary epithelium. The disease notoriously difficult to diagnose and usually fatal because of its late clinical presentation lack effective nonsurgical therapeutic modalities. overall survival rate, including in patients who underwent tumor resections, poor, with less than 5% surviving more 5 years. Over past years, several important studies have yielded new insight into molecular mechanisms involved development growth...
Plants of the genus Callicarpa are known to possess several medicinal effects. The constituents Taiwan endemic plant hypoleucophylla have never been studied. Therefore, C. was selected for our phytochemical investigation. Two new clerodane-type diterpenoids, named callihypolins A (1) and B (2), along with seven compounds were isolated from leaves twigs Lamiaceae then characterized. structures 1 2 elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis, specifically, two-dimension nuclear magnetic...
The use of implants is still the most common procedure for breast reconstruction because they are easy, less painful than tissue transplants, and do not need a donor site. However, it challenging to find suitable implant patients with small breasts, some women fear foreign bodies possible complications or reoperations. Autologous using pedicled latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous flap without an provides good option Asian breasts.Between June 1992 December 2015, 31 underwent 33 LD flaps (29...
Intercostal artery injury during transthoracic puncture is rare but accompanied by high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report a case with metachronous double primary esophageal cancers development multiple lung nodules. Tissue proof for the nodules required to guide following treatment protocol. Our patient died soon after computed tomography-guided tumor biopsy was performed, as result procedure-related massive uncontrolled hemothorax. The cause likely intercostal related puncture....
The worldwide incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess (KLA) is increasing. It important to accurately diagnose this life-threatening disease provide timely and appropriate treatment. Here we report the case a 38-year-old man with acute renal failure tumor-like septic pulmonary embolism. Initially, his clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, radiological findings presented equivocal results malignancy metastases. Fine needle aspiration tumor was performed, which showed purulent material...
Although autogenous tissue-based breast reconstruction has been widely used in the past decade, implant-based is more often Taiwan because Asian women are generally slender with small breasts. For patients very breasts, it hard to achieve goal of reconstructing a similar contralateral one, even smallest size implant available commercially. Therefore, these need not only but also augmentation. Here we report surgical outcomes and cosmetic results using cohesive gel implants combined...
Chest wall tumors can arise from a wide variety of benign and malignant etiologies, therefore it be challenging for clinicians to diagnose manage them. Isolated metastatic squamous cell carcinoma cervical cancer is extremely rare. We report chest tumor arising after 19 years disease-free survival. Wide resection the tumor, followed by polypropylene mesh free flap reconstruction with adequate coverage was successful. The patient continues at 2 years.
Lung cancer is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, and metastases are present in 40% of patients. The preferential sites extrapulmonary spread include lymph nodes, liver, brain, adrenal gland, bone. Small bowel metastasis lung a very rare occurrence may be clinically missed due to the unspecificity symptoms. prognosis poor. Screening for metastatic disease cannot recommended because its low incidence. However, if patient with presents gastrointestinal complaints, enema CT helpful...
Abstract Rationale: The main cause of death in melanoma patients is widespread metastases as it can metastasize to almost every organ. However, skeletal muscle (MSMM) are exceptional, and only a few cases MSMM the rectus abdominis muscles have been previously described. And our case maybe first reported Asia region. Patient concerns: A 45-year-old man with history right scalp melanoma, pT3aN0M0, stage IIA status post wide excision 2 cm safe margin neck lymph node dissection at 5 years...
Enhancement profiles of the pulmonary artery (PA) and aorta differ when using computed tomography (CT) angiography. Our aim was to determine optimal CT protocol for a one-time scan that assesses both blood vessels.We prospectively enrolled 101 cases angiography in patients with suspected embolism or aortic dissection from our center between 2018 2020. We also retrospectively collected data 40 who underwent traditional two-time scans 2015 2018. Patients were divided into four groups: test...
Background: The prevalent approach for localizing and assessing the severity of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries involves clinical evaluation electrodiagnostic studies. Ultrasonographic examination median in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) has been proposed as a useful alternative to electromyography (EMG) conduction velocity (NCV) studies diagnosing CTS. Case presentation: A 22-year-old man developed numbness cold intolerance over left thumb, index middle fingers after...
Background: Pharyngoesophageal reconstruction with the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap involves a buried free tissue transfer, and monitoring is important in this situation. Here we review our experience pharyngoesophageal using ALT flap. Methods: Seven patients receiving (July 2006 through June 2009) were investigated noninvasively. All men mean age of 49 years. The defects ranged from 6 to 11 cm length (mean 8.07 cm), circumferential created after tumor ablation four patients. Free flaps...
