A periodontite é uma doença inflamatória crônica multifactorial caracterizada pela destruição progressiva do aparelho de suporte periodontal. Atualmente, as técnicas convencionais para regeneração desses tecidos periodontais perdidos tiveram sucesso limitado. A tecnologia de membranas de células usando células-tronco mesenquimais apareceu como uma estratégia promissora na medicina regenerativa periodontal. Embora estudos recentes tenham mostrado o papel das membranas de células-tronco mesenquimais (MSCSs) no aumento dos tecidos de suporte dentário e ósseo, não há uma revisão sistemática focada especificamente na avaliação da regeneração periodontal em modelos animais ortotópicos. Esta revisão tem como objetivo avaliar o potencial das MSCSs na regeneração periodontal em comparação ao controle, em modelos animais experimentais. Estudos pré-clínicos em defeitos periodontais de modelos animais foram considerados elegíveis. A busca eletrônica incluiu as bases de dados MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE e LILACS. Além disso, uma busca manual avaliou as revistas científicas na área de periodontia/regeneração. A revisão sistemática foi conduzida de acordo com as diretrizes de Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement guidelines. A ferramenta do Centro de Revisão Sistemática para Experimentação com Animais de Laboratório (SYRCLE) foi usada para avaliar o risco de viés. Dos 3989 estudos obtidos a partir da busca no banco de dados eletrônicos foram incluídos 17 artigos. Foram empregados MSCSs autólogos, alógenos e xenógenos para melhorar a regeneração periodontal. Estes incluíram MSCSs do folículo dentário (DF), MSCSs do ligamento periodontal (PDL), MSCSs da polpa dentária (DP), MSCSs da medula óssea (BM), MSCSs periosteais alveolares (AP) e MSCSs gengivais (G). Em relação ao protocolo de indução de células, a maioria dos estudos utilizou ácido ascórbico (52,94%), outros utilizaram placas de cultura com polímero termo responsivo (47,06%). Os efeitos adversos, em relação à utilização das MSCSs no sítio doador, não foram identificados na maioria dos estudos, mesmo com o uso adjunto de scaffolds, membranas ou ambos. Meta-análise não foi considerada devido a heterogeneidades metodológicas. PDL-MSCSs demonstrou ser superior para aumento da regeneração periodontal em comparação ao controle, mas em um microambiente inflamatório induzido, DF-MSCSs foram melhores. Os DF-MSCSs parecem estar relacionados à espessura do cemento e dimensão periodontal. Além disso, DP-MSCSs e BM-MSCSs mostraram resultados melhores em comparação com o controle. Em contraste, AP-MSCSs não foram associados a melhorias na regeneração periodontal. A avaliação do risco de viés com a ferramenta da SYRCLE revelou que 44,12% dos estudos apresentavam baixo risco de viés, 55,29% foram incertos e 0,59%, alto risco. A presente revisão sistemática mostrou que as MSCSs podem aumentar a regeneração periodontal em modelos animais de defeito periodontal, fornecendo uma estratégia promissora para aumentar a regeneração periodontal.

Objetivo: Evaluar si el tratamiento con ácido hialurónico reticulado bifásico de lesiones osteocondrales promovería la regeneración del tejido cartilaginoso, favoreciendo así la reparación de la lesión. Materiales y métodos: Quince conejos hembra adultos fueron divididos aleatoriamente en tres grupos: grupo 1, de control; grupo 2 y grupo 3, sometidos a una estrategia quirúrgica de lesión osteocondral en la rodilla derecha (4 mm de diámetro, 5 mm de profundidad), el grupo 3 recibió tratamiento con 0,2 ml de ácido hialurónico por vía intrarticular después de la cirugía. Se realizaron controles clínicos, bioquímicos, histopatológicos y estudios por imágenes. Resultados: Se detectaron menos casos de dolor a la palpación en el grupo 3 que en el grupo 2 a partir de los 45 días. En la resonancia magnética, casi todas las muestras del grupo 3 tenían signos de regeneración del tejido cartilaginoso en el sitio de la lesión, sin edema óseo, ni derrame articular significativo. Los estudios histopatológicos de las muestras del grupo 3 indicaron un aumento de la matriz extracelular propia de tejido cartilaginoso, comparada con la del grupo 2, con hipercelularidad, dada por condrocitos, los que formaban grupos isogénicos axiales y coronales. Conclusiones: Este estudio brinda evidencias de que el tratamiento con ácido hialurónico reticulado bifásico en unidades experimentales de conejos con lesión osteocondral no tuvieron dolor en etapas tempranas después de la lesión, a diferencia de las unidades intervenidas y sin dicho tratamiento. A su vez, los estudios por imágenes e histopatológico mostraron la reparación del tejido dañado.
Objective: To demonstrate whether treatment with biphasic cross-linked hyaluronic acid in osteochondral lesions promotes the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Materials and methods: Fifteen adult female rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups. G1 was the control group, whereas G2 and G3 underwent surgery to treat an osteochondral injury in the right knee (4mm diameter, 5mm depth). G3 received treatment with 0.2 ml of hyaluronic acid intrarticularly after surgery. Clinical, biochemical, histopathological controls and imaging studies were performed. Results:Clinically, G3 exhibited less pain on palpation than G2 after 45 days. In G3, almost all samples showed evidence of cartilage tissue regeneration at the injury site, with neither bone edema or considerable joint effusion detected on MRI. The histological tests of G3 samples revealed an increase in the extracellular matrix of cartilaginous tissue when compared to G2, with hypercellularity caused by chondrocytes that formed axial and coronal isogenic groups. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that treatment with biphasic cross-linked hyaluronic acid in experimental units of rabbits with osteochondral injuries did not cause pain in the early stages of the injury. In turn, imaging and histopathological studies revealed that the injured tissue had been repaired.

Elucidar o potencial terapêutico do uso de plasma rico em plaquetas (PRP). Foi realizado um levantamento de dados sobre o assunto em estudo nas bases de dados: PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, em língua portuguesa e inglesa, sendo considerado apenas trabalhos científicos publicados no período de 2011 a 2022. Foram consultados no total dezessete artigos para compor a presente revisão. Os estudos evidenciam que o plasma rico em plaquetas possui capacidade de atuar na síntese e liberação de fatores de crescimento e citocinas, que auxiliam na ação anti-inflamatória e antibacteriana promovendo a regeneração tecidual. Os fatores de crescimento derivados de plaquetas atuam como agentes reguladoras e estimuladoras dos processos celulares de mitogênese, quimiotaxia, diferenciação e metabolismo. Essas propriedades das plaquetas conferem ao plasma rico em plaquetas uma potencialidade em melhorar a integração de enxertos cutâneos, ósseos, cartilaginosos ou de gordura, proporcionando uma proteção natural contra processos infecciosos. Os resultados em conjunto sugerem que a aplicação do PRP é considerada uma técnica segura, eficaz e confiável por ser um procedimento autólogo, trazendo avanços promissores quanto ao tempo deregeneração tecidual. O uso dessa técnica pode trazer enormes benefícios aos pacientes, mas ainda há necessidade de maiores estudos científicos, objetivando sempre o aprimoramento da técnica.

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.

In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs)-derived exosomes have attracted much attention in the field of tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes are signaling molecules for communication among cells. They are characterized by natural targeting and low immunogenicity, and are mostly absorbed by cells through the paracrine pathway of mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, they participate in the regulation and promotion of cell or tissue regeneration. As a scaffold material in regenerative medicine, hydrogel has good biocompatibility and degradability. Combining the two compounds can not only improve the retention time of exosomes at the lesion site, but also improve the dose of exosomes reaching the lesion site by in situ injection, and the therapeutic effect in the lesion area is significant and continuous. This paper summarizes the research results of the interaction of exocrine and hydrogel composite materials to promote tissue repair and regeneration, in order to facilitate research in the field of tissue regeneration in the future.

Stem cells have been regarded with promising application potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their self-renewal and multidirectional differentiation abilities. However, their fate is relied on their local microenvironment, or niche. Recent studied have demonstrated that biophysical factors, defined as physical microenvironment in which stem cells located play a vital role in regulating stem cell committed differentiation. In vitro, synthetic physical microenvironments can be used to precisely control a variety of biophysical properties. On this basis, the effect of biophysical properties such as matrix stiffness, matrix topography and mechanical force on the committed differentiation of stem cells was further investigated. This paper summarizes the approach of mechanical models of artificial physical microenvironment and reviews the effects of different biophysical characteristics on stem cell differentiation, in order to provide reference for future research and development in related fields.

Abstract Objective Semiquantitative and automated measurement of nuclear material removal and cell infiltration in decellularized tendon scaffolds (DTSs). Method 16 pure New Zealand rabbits were used, and the gastrocnemius muscle tendon was collected bilaterally from half of these animals (16 tendons collected); 4 were kept as control and 12 were submitted to the decellularization protocol (DTS). Eight of the DTSs were used as an in vivo implant in the experimental rotator cuff tear (RCT) model, and the rest, as well as the controls, were used in the semiquantitative and automated evaluation of nuclear material removal. The eight additional rabbits were used to make the experimental model of RCT and subsequent evaluation of cellular infiltration after 2 or 8 weeks, within the DTS. Results The semiquantitative and automated analysis used demonstrated a removal of 79% of nuclear material (p< 0.001 and power > 99%) and a decrease of 88% (p < 0.001 and power >99%) in the area occupied by nuclear material after the decellularization protocol. On cell infiltration in DTS, an increase of 256% (p < 0.001 and power >99%) in the number of cells within the DTS was observed in the comparison between 2 and 8 weeks postoperatively. Conclusion The proposed semiquantitative and automated measurement method was able to objectively measure the removal of nuclear material and cell infiltration in DTS.

Abstract Objective Histological and macroscopic evaluation of the healing process of acute lesions of the femoral rectus muscle using stem cells derived from adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Method An experimental study was conducted with 18 hind legs of New Zealand rabbits, which were divided into three study groups according to the intervention to be performed. In group I, no surgical procedure was performed; in group II—SHAN, the experimental lesion was performed without any additional intervention protocol; in group III—Intervention, the addition of ADSCs was performed in the same topography of the experimental lesion. After the proposed period, 2 weeks, the material was collected and submitted to macroscopic and histological evaluation. Results The quantitative analysis showed that the addition of ADSCs is related to the reduction of inflammatory cells in the 2-week evaluation (164.2 cells in group II - SHAN to 89.62 cells in group III - ADSC). The qualitative analysis of the slides with Picrosirius red, noticed an increase in orange/yellow fibers in group III - ADSC, which evidences a final healing process. The macroscopic evaluation found no difference between the groups. Conclusion The use of ADSCs in the treatment of acute muscle injury presented histological advantages when compared to their non-use.
Resumo Objetivo Avaliação histológica e macroscópica do processo de cicatrização das lesões agudas do músculo reto femoral, com utilização de células-tronco derivadas de tecido adiposo (ADSCs, na sigla em inglês). Método Foi realizado um estudo experimental com 18 patas traseiras de coelhos Nova Zelândia, que foram divididos em três nos grupos de estudo de acordo com a intervenção a ser realizada. No grupo I não foi realizado procedimento cirúrgico; no grupo II - SHAN foi realizado a lesão experimental sem nenhum protocolo de intervenção adicional; e no grupo III - Intervenção foi realizado a adição de ADSCs na mesma topografia onde foi realizada a lesão experimental. Após o período proposto, 2 semanas, o material foi coletado, submetido a avaliação macroscópica e histológica. Resultados A análise quantitativa demonstrou que a adição de ADSCs está relacionada com a diminuição de células inflamatórias na avaliação com 2 semanas (164,2 células no grupo II - SHAN para 89,62 células no grupo III - ADSC). A análise qualitativa das lâminas coradas com Picrosírius red demonstrou um aumento das fibras de cor laranja/amarela no grupo III - ADSC, o que evidencia um processo final de cicatrização. A avaliação macroscópica não encontrou diferença entre os grupos. Conclusão A utilização de ADSCs no tratamento de lesão muscular aguda apresentou vantagens histológicas quando comparada a sua não utilização.

Resumen Introducción El uso de concentrados plaquetarios para el tratamiento de heridas complejas y regeneración tisular está siendo ampliamente utilizado a nivel mundial. Durante el último tiempo, la segunda generación de concentrados plaquetarios, particularmente el L-PRF, ha permitido tratar de manera efectiva a pacientes con esta patología. Debido a su bajo costo y versatilidad, ha sido posible aplicar esta técnica en variadas situaciones clínicas con buenos resultados. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar nuestra experiencia utilizando L-PRF para la curación de heridas complejas (CHC) como una alternativa al uso de injertos de distinto grado de complejidad. Materiales y Método: Se realizó un análisis prospectivo de una serie de casos de pacientes que fueron sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico de heridas complejas mediante el uso de L-PRF en el Hospital Santiago Oriente - Luis Tisné Brousse, entre los meses de enero de 2017 y diciembre de 2018. Mediante examen clínico y parámetros de inclusión, de éxito y de fracaso definidos previamente, se evaluó un total de 11 pacientes con heridas complejas a los cuales se les realizó un tratamiento local con injerto de L-PRF. Resultados: _La etiología de las heridas fue variada. 8 (72%) de los casos lograron una epitelización del 100% y 3 (28%) fracasaron. Se identificaron factores predisponentes para el fracaso de la técnica, y también fue posible establecer una relación de predicción de éxito en donde se relaciona una probabilidad alta de epitelización cuando la granulación de la herida ocurre durante los primeros 10 días sobre el injerto de L-PRF. Conclusión: El tratamiento de heridas complejas mediante L-PRF es una alternativa factible, de bajo costo y requerimientos (comparada con el uso de injertos, colgajos y sustitutos dérmicos), es segura en la resolución de heridas complejas, permitiendo disminuir la morbilidad, los costos asociados al tratamiento y estadía hospitalaria.
Introduction: The use of platelet concentrates for the treatment of complex wounds and tissue regenera-tion is being widely used worldwide. During the last time, the second generation of platelet concentrates, particularly L-PRF, has made it possible to effectively treat patients with this pathology. Due to its low cost and versatility, it has been possible to apply this technique in various clinical situations with good results. The objective of this work is to present our experience using L-PRF for the healing of complex wounds (HCC) as an alternative to the use of grafts of different degrees of complexity. Materials and Method: A prospective analysis was carried out with a series of cases who underwent surgical treatment of complex wounds using L-PRF at Santiago Oriente - Luis Tisné Brousse Hospital, between the months of January 2017 and December 2018. Through clinical examination and previously defined inclusion, success, and failure parameters, a total of 11 patients with complex wounds were evaluated who underwent local treatment with an L-PRF graft. Results: The etiology of the wounds was varied. 8 (72%) of the cases achieved 100% epithelialization and 3 (28%) failed. Predisposing factors for the failure of the technique were identified, and it was also possible to establish a predictive relationship of success where a high probability of epithelialization is related when the granulation of the wound occurs during the first 10 days on the L-PRF graft. Conclusion: The treatment of complex wounds using L-PRF is a feasible alternative, with low cost and requirements (compared to the use of grafts, flaps and dermal substitutes) and safe in the resolution of complex wounds, allowing to reduce morbidity, the costs associated with treatment and hospital stay.

A cooperação científica internacional tornou-se um fator essencial para que os países emergentes alcancem novos patamares de pesquisa, publicações e financiamento. No contexto de uma discussão analítica sobre a cooperação científica global, foram analisadas as publicações brasileiras indexadas na Web of Science e a coautoria entre pesquisadores locais e estrangeiros, com o objetivo de ilustrar as mudanças ocorridas na medicina regenerativa nas duas últimas décadas. O artigo conclui que, na última década, expandiu-se a coautoria entre autores brasileiros e destes com autores de países desenvolvidos, especialmente com aqueles dos Estados Unidos, mas também, em menor grau, com os de outros países emergentes e da América Latina. Pesquisadores brasileiros também publicaram artigos de impacto global, indicando a qualidade atingida, no país, pela pesquisa científica na área. A análise mostra que a colaboração abriu portas, no âmbito global, para a pesquisa local, mas também que as assimetrias científicas se mantiveram ao longo do tempo.
International scientific cooperation has become a key factor for emerging countries to improve research advancement, publication and funding. An analysis of local publications indexed in the Web of Science and co-authored between Brazilian researchers and non-residents was carried out, in the context of an analytical discussion on global scientific cooperation and with the aim of illustrating changes in the last two decades in regenerative medicine regarding this topic. The article concluded that in the last decade Brazil increased scientific co-authorships significantly domestically and with advanced country authors, especially with American authors, but also to a lesser degree with those of other emerging economies in and beyond Latin American. Local researchers have also published on their own several articles of global impact, revealing the academic quality attained in local sciences related to the area. Collaboration has undoubtedly opened doors for Brazilian regenerative medicine globally, but historical scientific inequalities remain.
La cooperación científica internacional se ha transformado en un factor sustancial para que los países emergentes progresen en investigación, publicación y financiación. Se desarrolló un análisis de publicaciones locales indexadas en la Web of Science y coautorías entre investigadores brasileños y extranjeros en el contexto de una reflexión sobre cooperación científica global y con el fin de ilustrar las modificaciones producidas en la medicina molecular regenerativa durante los dos últimos decenios. El artículo concluye que, en el último decenio, Brasil aumentó significativamente las coautorías domésticas y con autores de países avanzados, especialmente de los Estados Unidos, y en menor medida con aquellos de otras economías emergentes dentro y fuera de América Latina. Los investigadores locales han publicado varios artículos propios de impacto global, lo cual revela la calidad académica lograda, en Brasil, en el área. La colaboración ha abierto puertas en el mundo para la medicina regenerativa brasileña, pero las asimetrías científicas históricas persisten.

Introducción: En el tejido adiposo se han identificado células madre mesenquimales con capacidad autorrenovadora y multipotencial. Mediante digestión enzimática y centrifugado del lipoaspirado se libera una población heterogénea de células denominada fracción vascular estromal, con innumerables potencialidades terapéuticas en el campo de la medicina regenerativa. Objetivo: Actualizar el alcance de las células madre derivadas de tejido adiposo en la terapia regenerativa. Método: Se revisaron 38 artículos entre los años 2000 y 2019 en las bases de datos Scielo, ScienceDirect, Medline y Pubmed. Desarrollo: Las células de la fracción vascular estromal se caracterizan por su capacidad de generar tejido adiposo y vasos sanguíneos, y por la producción de factores de crecimiento que ayudan en la supervivencia de los adipocitos y la formación de una red vascular. El principal mecanismo de acción de las células madre derivadas de tejido adiposo parece deberse a su acción paracrina y a la sinergia con células endoteliales. En el campo de la medicina regenerativa se han utilizado en el tratamiento de cicatrices patológicas y de fibrosis deformantes con impotencia funcional, en las reconstrucciones de secuelas por cáncer y en el cierre precoz de zonas cruentas. Conclusiones: La lipotransferencia es un procedimiento con un mínimo de complicaciones que constituye una de las opciones terapéuticas más empleadas para corregir defectos en los tejidos, debido a que no solo es un medio de relleno, sino que también permite la regeneración y restauración tisular. La presencia de células madre en el tejido adiposo, unido a su accesibilidad, disponibilidad e histocompatibilidad, ha motivado su aplicación cada vez más expandida en la medicina estética, reconstructiva y regenerativa(AU)
Introduction: Mesenchymal stem cells with self-renewing and multipotential capacity have been identified in adipose tissue. By means of enzymatic digestion and centrifugation of the lipoaspirate a heterogeneous population of cells called vascular stromal fraction is released. It has innumerable therapeutic potentialities in the field of regenerative medicine. Objective: To update the scope of stem cells derived from adipose tissue in regenerative therapy. Method: 38 articles published between 2000 and 2019 in the Scielo, ScienceDirect, Medline and Pubmed databases were reviewed. Development: The cells of the vascular stromal fraction are characterized by generating adipose tissue and blood vessels and by the production of growth factors that help in the survival of adipocytes and the formation of a vascular network. The main mechanism of action of stem cells derived from adipose tissue appears to be due to their paracrine action and synergy with endothelial cells. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue have been used in regenerative medicine for the treatment of pathological scars and deforming fibrosis with functional impotence, in the reconstruction of cancer sequelae and in the early closure of bloody areas. Conclusions: Lipotransfer is a procedure with a minimum of complications that constitutes one of the most widely used therapeutic options to correct tissue defects, since it is not only a filling medium, but also allows tissue regeneration and restoration. The presence of stem cells in adipose tissue, together with their accessibility, availability and histocompatibility, has motivated their increasingly widespread application in aesthetic, reconstructive and regenerative medicine(AU)
