Effects of adipose derived stromal vascular fraction on diabetic neuropathy: an experimental study.

The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) obtained from inguinal adipose tissue was injected into the sciatic nerve region in diabetic rats. The effects of the SVF on the sciatic nerve and functional, electrophysiological and histopathological changes were examined in this study. Rats were divided into five groups; a non-diabetic control group, and four diabetic groups.

The treatment of ingrown nail: Chemical matricectomy with NAOH versus wedge resection.

Ingrown nail is a common problem seen in the dermatology clinics. The aim of this study is to compare the wedge resection method and chemical matricectomy with NaOH in terms of operation time, postoperative pain severity, postoperative drainage, recurrence rates, recovery time, and the effects of these two methods on Dermatology Quality of Life Index. This study included 60 patients.

Sphincter-Sparing Excision and Reconstruction Using Facial Artery Perforator Flaps for Lower Lip Carcinoma.

Purpose: This article discusses the results of orbicularis oris muscle-sparing surgery and reconstruction of defects through the use of facial artery perforator flaps and mucosal advancement flaps.

Patients And Methods: Patients with lower lip carcinoma were evaluated retrospectively. Patients who underwent reconstruction with facial artery perforator flaps and mucosal advancement flaps with clear surgical margins and no muscle invasion were included in this study.

Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis in patients with basal cell carcinoma.

Background: The aim of this study is to measure and compare the dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis of patients with basal cell carcinoma and healthy subjects with a newly developed and original method.

Objective: Thirty four patients attending our outpatient clinic and clinically and histopathologically diagnosed as nodular basal cell carcinoma, and age and gender matched 30 healthy individuals have been involved in the study. Thiol/disulphide homeostasis tests have been measured with a novel automatic spectrophotometric method developed and the results have been compared statistically.

Saphenous artery-based flap models in rats: new flap designs for experimental studies.

Background: Experimental research using laboratory animals provides substantial data about reconstructive surgery. However, the literature does not include any experimental studies that have used flap models on the hind limbs of rats. To gain an understanding of the physiology of lower-extremity flaps and of flap failures, this study assessed the cutaneous perforators of the saphenous artery, and new flap models were designed for the hind limbs of rats.
