Effect of Stromal Vascular Fractions on Angiogenesis of Injected Diced Cartilage.

Objectives: This study explored the effect of adipose-derived stromal vascular fractions (SVFs) on angiogenesis in injected autologous diced cartilage.

Methods: Stromal vascular fractions were extracted by enzymatic digestion. Cartilage grafts were harvested from 1 side of the auricular cartilage of New Zealand rabbit and then diced to a size of 1.

Prognostic signature and immune efficacy of m A-, m C- and m A-related regulators in cutaneous melanoma.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is an aggressive cancer; given that initial and specific signs are lacking, diagnosis is often late and the prognosis is poor. RNA modification has been widely studied in tumour progression. Nevertheless, little progress has been made in the signature of N -methyladenosine (m A), 5-methylcytosine (m C), N -methyladenosine (m A)-related regulators and the tumour microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration in CM.

Preparation and properties of a novel carbon nanotubes/poly(vinyl alcohol)/epidermal growth factor composite biological dressing.

Wound dressings with drug delivery system have drawn increasing attention in skin damage recombination. Herein, a novel composite biological dressing was prepared and based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) combined with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) by electrospinning on gauze. The properties of the CNTs/PVA/EGF composite dressing were systemically investigated by general observation, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Viability and Biomechanics of Diced Cartilage Blended With Platelet-Rich Plasma and Wrapped With Poly (Lactic-Co-Glycolic) Acid Membrane.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the viability and biomechanics of diced cartilage blended with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and wrapped with poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) membrane in a rabbit model.

Methods: A total of 10 New Zealand rabbits were used for the study. Cartilage grafts were harvested from 1 side ear.

Viability and Biomechanics of Bare Diced Cartilage Grafts in Experimental Study.

Objective: To assess the viability and biomechanics of bare diced cartilage grafts.

Methods: Cartilage samples were collected from 1 ear in 15 rabbits as well as costal cartilage. Each rabbit was inserted bare diced- and single-strip costal-cartilage grafts, respectively, into paraspinal subcutaneous pockets: after euthanasia at 2 months, specimens were weighed, with diced cartilage grafts examined histomorphologically by hematoxylin-eosin staining, masson trichrome staining, and immunohistochemistry.

Relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the pancreas after bone marrow transplant.

Background: Relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the pancreas is rare. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy who experienced a relapse of ALL in the pancreas after a bone marrow transplant.

Methods: Clinical data, including course of illness, laboratory results, and imaging studies are included.

Cantrell syndrome with complex cardiac malformations: a case report.

Cantrell syndrome is a rare condition of congenital defects of 5 developmentally associated structures: the abdominal wall, sternum, diaphragm, pericardium, and heart. Few patients survive, and even fewer survive with good outcomes of quality of life. We present a case with the pentalogy and profound cardiac malformations.
