ABSTRACT

In the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, the loss of organs or tissues caused by diseases or injuries has resulted in challenges, such as donor shortage and immunosuppression. In recent years, with the development of regenerative medicine, the decellularization-recellularization strategy seems to be a promising and attractive method to resolve these difficulties. The decellularized extracellular matrix contains no cells and genetic materials, while retaining the complex ultrastructure, and it can be used as a scaffold for cell seeding and subsequent transplantation, thereby promoting the regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues and organs. This review provided an overview of decellularization-recellularization technique, and mainly concentrated on the application of decellularization-recellularization technique in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including the remodeling of skin, nose, ears, face, and limbs. Finally, we proposed the challenges in and the direction of future development of decellularization-recellularization technique in plastic surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the pathological mechanism of aseptic necrosis of breast tissue after long-term breast augmentation injected with polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG).Methods We included patients who had no obvious clinical symptoms and underwent surgical removal of the PAHG in our hospital,excluding patients with a history of breast prosthesis implantation.Extracts were collected,and then underwent a careful gross observation and serial sections followed by HE,Mallory,and toluidine blue staining,to observe the histological structure of collagen fibers and inflammatory cells.Immunohistochemistry for CD31 and a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) antibody was used to further identify vascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells,respectively.Analysis of the correlation between injection time and the incidence of different pathological changes were done.Results We included 22 females (mean age 39.14 years,range 22-55 years) who requested surgical removal of the PAHG.The mean duration of PAHG injection was 9.27 years (range 4-14 years).They had no clinical symptoms or only had induration,deformation and displacement.The basic pathological changes of local tissue included foreign body reaction and chronic inflammation,fibrosis and tissue necrosis;and half of the tissue had also histological changes,such as small vascular smooth muscle layer thickening,lumen stenosis,etc.No significant correlation was found between the pathological changes and the duration of the disease and the clinical symptoms.Conclusions Patients with PAHG injection for augmentation mammoplasty can histopathological changes of local tissues even without experiencing discomfort.The tissue necrosis in some patients may be caused by foreign body reaction and inflammatory reaction.It may also be due to local ischemia caused by small vascular smooth muscle hyperplasia,luminal stenosis etc.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the feasibility of in vitro perfusion culture of human adipose tissue and its induction into muscle tissue.@*Methods@#Human abdominal adipose tissue were cultured in vitro by perfusion culture. After 1, 3, 5 or 7 weeks, FAD/PI staining was used to detect the tissue vitality. Histological staining was used to observe the changes of its histomorphology. Protein expressions of myogenic molecules Myf-5 and myoD1 as well as muscle specific protein Desmin were measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blot assay.@*Results@#The adipose tissues cultured in myogenic induction media were still in the appearance of adipose tissue at 7 weeks. While in the basal medium without inducing, vascular pedicles shed after 7 weeks and could not continue to be cultured. FAD/PI staining showed that the tissue cultured in the induction media remained viable at 7 weeks, while the viability of the tissue in the basal culture medium decreased significantly at 5 weeks. Histologically, Myf-5, myoD1 and Desmin were all positively expressed in muscle tissues, while in adipose tissues, some mesenchymal and vascular endothelial cells expressed Myf-5 but not myoD1, and only separate vascular smooth muscle cells expressed Desmin. Interestingly, in adipose tissues cultured in myogenic induction medium, partial muscle-like tissue formed, evidenced as positive expression of Myf-5, myoD1 and Desmin. There was no muscle-like tissue formation in adipose tissue cultured in basal medium and the expression patterns were similar to that of the control group. Western blot results showed that the expression levels of Myf-5 and Desmin in muscle tissue were significantly higher than that of the other groups (P<0.05). The expression level of Myf-5 was slightly higher in inducing group than that in non-inducing group at the same time points, but the difference was not statistically significant. Similarly, the expression of Desmin was higher in inducing group than that in non-inducing group, yet there was statistically significant difference only in the first week. The protein expression of myoD1 was not detected in any group using Western blot.@*Conclusions@#The adipose tissue cultured in the perfusion bioreactor can survive for up to 7 weeks, and it can be partially induced into muscle-like tissue in the myogenic induction medium.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of conditioned medium from keloid fibroblasts under hypoxia on angiogenesis, and to investigate the role of hypoxic microenvironment in invasive growth of keloid.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Primary keloid fibroblasts and human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured as conventional method. Keloid fibroblasts were cultured either in a hypoxic incubator (2% O2) for 48 h or in a normoxic incubator (20% O2) as control. Then those cell culture mediums were collected and mixed with endothelial cell medium by the proportion of 1:1 as conditioned medium. The mRNA and secreted protein of pro-angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and periostin of keloid fibroblasts under hypoxia were detected by real time PCR and ELISA. The proliferation, migration and invasion, tube formation of HUVEC cultured with conditioned medium were evaluated by CCK-8 assay, Transwell assay and matrigel tube formation assay, respectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Hypoxia increased the expression of VEGF, Ang-1 and periostin in both mRNA (increased by 75%, 43% and 118% respectively, P < 0.05) and secreted protein (increased by 30.2%, 14.2% and 19.5% respectively, P < 0.05) levels; the proliferations of HUVEC in hypoxic conditioned medium in 1, 2 and 3 d were 0.67 +/- 0.07, 0.84 +/- 0.09 and 1.08 +/- 0.10 respectively, which were higher compared to those in control group (0.52 +/- 0.08, 0.72 +/- 0.10 and 0.91 + 0.14, P < 0.05); the numbers of migration, invasion and tube formation of HUVEC were (73.2 +/- 8.9), (56.3 +/- 12.5), (9.66 +/- 1.96) cells/HP, which were higher compared to those in control group [(59.0 +/- 8.0), 35.5 +/- 8.5), (6.5 +/- 1.87) cells/HP, P < 0.05].</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Hypoxia increases the expression of pro-angiogenic factors of keloid fibroblasts, and its conditioned medium under hypoxia could promote angiogenesis. The results suggest hypoxic microenvironment may play a significant role in the invasive growth of keloid by inducing angiogenesis.</p>
