Recipient site creation for hair transplantation: A prospective half-side comparison study of hole versus slit.

Follicular unit strip surgery and FUE (follicular unit extraction) are techniques used for donor harvesting in hair transplantation. For recipient site creation, the slit technique is now commonly used. The hole technique is an alternative technique in which holes are created in the tissue at the recipient site.

Treatment of scarring alopecia from trauma and surgical procedures in young patients using follicular unit hair transplantation.

Introduction: Hair loss due to scarring as a consequence of surgical procedures and trauma can impact young patients socially and emotionally. Recently follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation has been applied to scar treatment.

Patients And Methods: This report included four patients with scarring alopecia.

Neutrophil-derived reactive oxygen species can modulate neutrophil adhesion to endothelial cells in preeclampsia.

Background: Neutrophil activation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to investigate whether neutrophil-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate adhesion to endothelial cells in preeclampsia.

Methods: We first assessed neutrophil superoxide production and neutrophil-endothelial cell adhesion in normal nonpregnant women (n = 8), normal pregnant women (n = 10), and preeclamptic pregnant women (n = 8).

Generation of reactive oxygen species by neutrophils and endothelial cell injury in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of neutrophil-derived reactive oxygen species on endothelial cell dysfunction in preeclampsia. We first assessed the correlation between nitrite and superoxide anion production in normal nonpregnant (n=10), normal pregnant (n=15), and preeclamptic women (n=12). We then examined neutrophil-mediated oxygen radical damage to human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro.
