In fat grafts from volunteers with megavolume fat transfer breast augmentation, neovascularization and inflammatory cell infiltration decreased within 7 days according to histological analysis. We further investigated this phenomenon using a nude mouse model.

Manau Gan) is the main citrus cultivar in Derong County, China, with unique aroma and flavour characteristics, but the use of Zangju peel (CRZP) is limited due to a lack of research on its peel. In this study, electronic nose, headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) methods were used to rapidly and comprehensively evaluate the volatile compounds of dried CRZP and to analyse the role of dynamic changes at different maturation stages.

Method: C57BL/6 mice were split into fascial removal (FR) group and control groups (CG).
Background: The unpredictable and unstable tissue retention rate of autologous fat grafting remains an obstacle faced by plastic surgeons. The authors' previous study using a fat grafting mouse model with donor sites showed that adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) infiltration in the recipient site was delayed, leading to poor regeneration and lower retention. Thus, the mechanism behind the differential infiltration of ASCs needed to be explored.

Sample preparation was done by protein precipitation, and the separation was achieved on a C18 column by the gradient mixture of the mobile phase A (0.1% acetic acid and 3 mM ammonium acetate in water) and the mobile phase B (0.

Macrophages preferentially infiltrate the donor site and subsequently, infiltrate the recipient site after fat grafting. This study aimed to trace host-derived macrophages and to evaluate the effects of macrophage infiltration at the recipient site during the early stage on long-term fat graft retention.

Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which provides structural and biochemical support for surrounding cells, is vital for adipose tissue regeneration after autologous fat grafting. Rapid and high-quality ECM remodeling can improve the retention rate after fat grafting by promoting neovascularization, regulating stem cells differentiation, and suppressing chronic inflammation. The degradation and deposition of ECM are regulated by various factors, including hypoxia, blood supply, inflammation, and stem cells.

In this study, we evaluated a strategy in which adipose matrix complex (AMC) was collected via a mechanical process and transplanted for supportive filling of the face. Our AMC samples were collected from adipose tissue by a filter device consisting of a sleeve, three internal sieves, and a filter bag (100 mesh).

However, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurement, the gold standard for defining CSPH (HVPG≥10 mm Hg) is invasive and therefore not suitable for routine clinical practice. This study aims to develop and validate a radiomics-based model as a noninvasive method for accurate detection of CSPH in cirrhosis.
