Panniculus morbidus is a complication of morbid obesity characterized by massive abdominal folds that hang below the beltline. Ulceration, dermatitis, and sinus tract formation of the pannus can cause significant morbidity to the patient and impair activities of daily living. If patients fail medical management, the next step is surgical excision.

The use of stem cells in injury repair has been extensively investigated. Here, we examined the therapeutic effects of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) transplantation in four dogs with natural traumatic spinal cord injuries. MSC were cultured in vitro, and proliferation rate and cell viability were evaluated.

Blockade of CD40/CD40 ligand interactions attenuates skin fibrosis and autoimmunity in the tight-skin mouse.

Department of Dermatology, Kanazawa University Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa, Japan.
Objective: To assess the association of CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L) interactions with the development of skin fibrosis and autoimmunity in tight-skin (TSK/+) mouse, which is a mouse model for human systemic sclerosis.
Methods: Newly born TSK/+ mice were treated with murine anti-CD40L monoclonal antibody (100 microg intraperitoneally weekly). Hypodermal thickness of 8-week-old female mice (defined as the thickness of a subcutaneous loose connective tissue layer beneath the panniculus carnosus) was measured under a light microscope.
Advantages of the presence of living dermal fibroblasts within restylane for soft tissue augmentation.

For the elimination of facial wrinkles and skin contour defects, injectable filler substances composed of commercially prepared nonanimal stabilized hyaluronic acid (Restylane) are now widely used. Although this method of suspension has been shown to be relatively safe and convenient, varying degrees of resorption have required repeated percutaneous injections. This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of Restylane, which is a modified hyaluronic acid, combined with cultured human dermal fibroblasts, to enhance the longevity of injected implants.
