RESUMO

Although recent methods of pelvic reconstruction using myocutaneous flaps have reduced postoperative morbidities' including pelvic abscess, the complication rates are still high due to the presence of a large dead cavity and poorly vascularized tissues secondary to preoperative chemoradiation therapy. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness and benefit of fascia lata autografting for pelvic floor reconstruction as a supplemental procedure for gluteal flap closure of perineal wounds. Methods: Our retrospective study included 144 consecutive patients who underwent rectal cancer resection with or without pelvic reconstruction, from 2010 to 2020. For reconstruction, fascia lata autografts were harvested from the thigh and affixed to the pelvic floor. The perineal wound was closed using gluteal advancement flaps. Results: The study included 33 reconstructed and 111 nonreconstructed patients (average age: 69.5 years). The reconstructed group was more likely to have undergone preoperative chemotherapy (81.8% versus 40.5%, P < 0.001) and radiotherapy (78.8% versus 48.6%, P = 0.002), compared with the nonreconstructed group. Additionally, the reconstructed group underwent fewer abdominoperineal resections (63.6% versus 94.6%, P < 0.001) and more pelvic exenterations (36.4% versus 5.4%). The mean size of fascia lata autografts was 8.3 × 5.9 cm. There were significant differences between the reconstructed and nonreconstructed groups, in the incidences of complications (15.2% versus 33.3%, P = 0.044) and pelvic abscess (3.0% versus 16.2%, P = 0.049). Conclusion: Combination of fascia lata autografts and gluteal flaps is considered an effective method of pelvic reconstruction for its low incidence of complications and stable outcomes.

RESUMO

Subcutaneous lipomas are the most common benign soft-tissue tumors. Theoretically, adipocyte sites could be the primary foci; however, lipomas are likely located in the occipital, neck, shoulder, torso, and thigh areas. To date, no study has reported the anatomical relationship between these subcutaneous structures and lipomas. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the anatomical locations of lipomas and considered their growth factors. In addition, we discussed the mechanism of fat amplification to improve the success of fat grafting. Methods: In the present study, lipomas measuring more than 5 cm in diameter from patients hospitalized between 2017 and 2021 were retrospectively examined using preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging as well as clinical records with intraoperative pictures. Results: In total, 22 lipomas of 22 patients were examined. All lesions (100%) were accompanied by neurovascular perforators. Nineteen lesions (86%) were located deep in the superficial fascia, where it was clearly defined. Moreover, all lesions were located at the mobile adipofascial layer adjacent to an anchored fixed or less mobile structure. Conclusions: Lipoma growth might require neurovascular perforators that supply both blood flow and continuous stretching stimuli. The mobile adipofascial layer with bones adjacent to a fixed or less mobile area might also be necessary to grow lipomas. If these findings can be used as clues to elucidate the mechanism of fat amplification in the future, it may lead to an improvement in the survival rate of fat grafts.

RESUMO

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection, accounting for the most common cause of death in intensive care units. Here, we report that peripheral administration of the hypothalamic neuropeptide orexin improves the survival of mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endotoxin shock, a well-studied septic shock model. The effect is accompanied by a suppression of excessive cytokine production and an increase of catecholamines and corticosterone. We found that peripherally administered orexin penetrates the blood-brain barrier under endotoxin shock, and that central administration of orexin also suppresses the cytokine production and improves the survival, indicating orexin's direct action in the central nervous system (CNS). Orexin helps restore body temperature and potentiates cardiovascular function in LPS-injected mice. Pleiotropic modulation of inflammatory response by orexin through the CNS may constitute a novel therapeutic approach for septic shock.
