Unusual localization of bleeding under acenocoumarol: Spinal subdural hematoma.

Background: The spinal subdural hematoma (SSH) is an extremely rare entity which represents only 4.1% of all spinal hematomas. It needs accurate diagnosis and rapid intervention because of the major neurological risk induced by spinal compression.

Transplantation of adipose tissue-derived stromal cells increases mass and functional capacity of damaged skeletal muscle.

The regenerating skeletal muscle environment is capable of inducing uncommitted progenitors to terminally differentiate. The aim of this work was to determine whether adipose tissue-derived stromal cells were able to participate in muscle regeneration and to characterize the effect on muscle mass and functional capacities after transplantation of these cells. Adipose tissue stromal cells labeled with Adv cyto LacZ from 3-day-old primary cultures (SVF1) were autotransplanted into damaged tibialis anterior muscles.

Changes in Mass and Performance in Rabbit Muscles after Muscle Damage with or without Transplantation of Primary Satellite Cells.

Changes in morphology, metabolism, myosin heavy chain gene expression, and functional performances in damaged rabbit muscles with or without transplantation of primary satellite cells were investigated. For this purpose, we damaged bilaterally the fast muscle tibialis anterior (TA) with either 1.5 or 2.

SFRP2 expression in rabbit myogenic progenitor cells and in adult skeletal muscles.

Satellite cells derived from fast- and slow-twitch muscles have different properties in culture. We have used the differential display technique to retrieve genes differentially expressed in fast- and slow-twitch muscle satellite cell cultures. Amongst these genes we have identified, cloned, sequenced and studied the expression in muscle of rabbit secreted frizzled related protein 2 (SFRP2) mRNA, whose importance in cell fate determination has been well documented.
