AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the impact of adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction on healing pharyngocutaneous fistulas in rats after laryngeal surgery.
- - Eleven rats were divided into study and control groups, with the study group receiving an injection of the stromal vascular fraction post-surgery.
- - While epithelialization was greater in the study group, the differences weren’t statistically significant; however, there was less mucosal injury and cell infiltration in the study group compared to controls, suggesting some potential benefits.
Article Abstract
Objective: A pharyngocutaneous fistula is one of the complications after laryngeal and pharyngeal surgery. It may also contribute to wound healing due to adipose tissue-derived stem cells and the growth factors in the stromal vascular fraction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction on wound healing in the pharyngocutaneous fistula model induced in rats.
Material And Methods: Approval was received from the Animal Experiments Local Ethics Committee before starting the study (29.01.2016-2016/09). Eleven male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing approximately 300 g were included in the study. The animals were randomly divided into the study and control groups so that each group would include five animals. An animal was assigned as a donor for the removal of omental adipose tissue. Among the animals in which the pharyngocutaneous fistula model was created under general anesthesia, 1 ml of the stromal vascular fraction was injected into the study group on postoperative day 1. In postoperative week 2, all the animals were sacrificed and examined histologically (epithelialization-cell infiltration - mucosal injury). IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 15, was used in the analyses. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Epithelialization was higher in the study group compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (p = 0.08). The cell infiltration was found to be statistically higher in the control group compared to the study group (p = 0.03). The mucosal injury was found to be significantly higher in the control group compared to the study group (p = 0.03). According to the Pearson correlation test, a negative correlation was found between epithelialization and cell infiltration and mucosal injury (p = 0.019 and p = 0.001). A positive correlation was found between cell infiltration and mucosal injury (p = 0.009).
Conclusion: It was shown that stromal vascular fraction had a positive effect on wound healing in the pharyngocutaneous fistula model. According to the data we have obtained, we think that it can be effective in the treatment of pharyngocutaneous fistulas after more extensive preclinical and clinical studies are carried out.

Background: Despite advances in reperfusion therapies, ischemic stroke remains a major cause of long-term disability due to residual hypoxic lesions persisting after macrovascular reperfusion. These residual hypoxic lesions, caused by microvascular dysfunction, represent an important therapeutic target. We previously demonstrated that oxygen-glucose-deprived peripheral blood mononuclear cells (OGD-PBMCs) migrate to ischemic brain regions and promote functional recovery after stroke.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most malignant solid cancers, and PC metastasis, particularly liver metastasis, is a major cause of cancer mortality. A key event in tumor metastasis is the formation of pre-metastatic niche (PMN), which provides a microenvironment conducive to tumor cells colonization and progression. Various molecules loaded in tumor-derived exosomes (TDEs) contribute to PMN formation and distant tumor metastasis, by regulating immune and stromal cell function, inducing angiogenesis, and promoting metabolic reprogramming.

Sustained lymphocyte migration from blood into lymph nodes (LNs) is important for immune responses. The CC-chemokine receptor-7 (CCR7) ligand CCL21 is required for LN entry but is downregulated during inflammation, and it has been unclear how recruitment is maintained. Here, we show that the oxysterol biosynthetic enzyme cholesterol-25-hydroxylase (Ch25h) is upregulated in LN high endothelial venules during viral infection.

Adult mammals are unable to regenerate bulky bone tissues, making large bone defects clinically challenging. Deer antler represents an exception to this rule, exhibiting the fastest bony growth in mammals, offering a unique opportunity to explore novel strategies for rapid bone regeneration. Here, a bone graft exploiting the biochemical, biophysical, and structural characteristics of antlers is constructed.

Background: The typical pathological feature of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a significant increase in stromal reaction, leading to a hypoxic and poorly vascularized tumor microenvironment. Tumor cells undergo metabolic reprogramming, such as the Warburg effect, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.
Methods: Interference and overexpression experiments were conducted to analyze the in vivo and in vitro effects of USP7 on the growth and glycolysis of tumor cells.
