Dendritic cell (DC)-mediated cross-presentation of exogenous antigens acquired in the periphery is critical for initiation CD8(+) T responses. Several DC subsets are described human tissues but migratory cross-presenting DCs have not been isolated, despite their potential importance immunity to pathogens, vaccines, and tumors tolerance self. Here, we identified a CD141(hi) present interstitial dermis, liver, lung that was distinct from majority CD1c(+) CD14(+) tissue superior at soluble...
The propeller-type flap design is increasingly used in reconstructive surgery for various regions of the body. To date, determinants perforator patency when subjected to twisting have not been elucidated. We propose a simulation model study parameters affecting under such conditions. Nonlinear finite element procedure was simulate consisting an artery and vein with both ends fixed. A rigid body attached top applying prescribed angular displacement. effect following on pedicle determined: (1)...
Keloids are disfiguring, proliferative scars that represent a pathological response to cutaneous injury. The overabundant extracellular matrix formation, largely from collagen deposition, is characteristic of these lesions and has led investigations into the role fibroblast in its pathogenesis. Curiously, epidermis deposition normal skin been established, but similar hypothesis keloids not investigated. aim this study was investigate influence keloid epithelial keratinocytes on growth...
The radial forearm flap remains the preferred technique for phalloplasty. From 1999 to 2009, 19 patients with primary female transsexualism underwent gender reassignment surgery at our center. phalloplasty is modified as a two-stage procedure, prelamination of neourethra on donor before microsurgical transfer 3 months later. At 5-year follow-up, were asked complete survey functional, aesthetic, and psychological results postsurgery. reliably provided sufficient bulk stiffness neophallus...
Abstract Decellularized xenografts have been identified as potential scaffolds for small‐diameter vascular substitutes. This study aimed to develop and investigate a biomechanically functional biocompatible acellular conduit using decellularized porcine saphenous arteries ( DPSAs ), through modified decellularization process T riton X ‐100/ NH 4 OH solution serum‐containing medium. Histological biochemical analysis indicated high degree of cellular removal preservation the extracellular...
Introduction: Haemangiomas in children usually involute spontaneously and surgical treatment is exceptional. Vascular malformations do not regress resection may become necessary. We present a series of surgically treated face neck vascular anomalies during 9-year period, assessing the epidemiology, presenting signs symptoms, diagnostic modalities, indications for surgery, methods clinical outcome post-treatment. Materials Methods: The medical pathological records all patients with...
Hypertrophic scars and keloids remain a challenge in surgery. We appreciate that our understanding of the process at cellular molecular level, profound as it is, when comes to clinical evidence much is left be desired. Although bench bedside conundrum remains, science translational research calls for an even higher level cooperation between scientist clinician impetus succeed. The clinicians alerted us possible theories pathogenesis keloid formation, inter alia, ischemia theory, mast cell...
Background: The skin paddle of the fibula osteoseptocutaneous flap is reliably vascularized by septocutaneous perforators from peroneal artery. However, in 5 to 10 percent lower limbs, these are absent. This anatomical study evaluated use soleus musculocutaneous perforator for salvage such situations. Methods: Latex injection studies were performed on 20 cadaveric limbs. presence, prevalence, and location distal leg documented. traced proximally determine their origins. Results: Of one or...
Background: The rotation fasciocutaneous flap for buttock pressure sore coverage has the distinct advantage of allowing rerotation in event ulcer recurrence. authors describe their approach preserving and incorporating musculocutaneous perforators into conventional design. Methods: skin incision is same as that gluteal flap. elevated subfascially until one or two large superior inferior arteries are encountered. Intramuscular dissection by splitting fibers gluteus maximus muscle then...
Primary muscle flap cover of megaprostheses following limb salvage surgery for tumors around the knee serves to decrease infection rates, provide additional soft tissue over implant, and act as a bed split-skin grafting. The purpose this study is demonstrate role supplementary flaps such hemisoleus, gracilis, semimembranosus in augmenting coverage provided by gastrocnemius flaps. Between August 1999 2006, 10 patients underwent resection distal femur (n = 5) or proximal tibia sarcomas,...
ABSTRACT The use of paraffin‐impregnated gauze for burns and skin graft donor sites is commonly associated with wound adherence consequent pain trauma upon removal. This prospective clinical study was performed to evaluate a new class lipido‐colloid dressings (Urgotul ™ ) in promoting healing reducing tissue adherence. In 6‐month period, 25 consecutive patients were recruited. Two separate burn or on each patient dressed tulle‐gras (TG) Urgotul covered standard secondary dressings. Objective...
