ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of subcutaneous negative pressure suction cosmetic suture with anti L incision in liver surgery.Methods A total of 140 patients who received liver surgery in general surgery department of our hospital from March 2015 to April 2016 were randomly selected,of which 70 cases received cosmetic suture with negative pressure drainage (observation group),the other 70 cases treated with conventional suture(control group).The repair times,the healing of the incision of two groups were observed and analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the repair time and hospital stays of patients in observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Cosmetic suture with negative pressure drainage is effective to shorten the repair time,reduce the incidence of incision fat liquefaction and infection,while ensuring the aesthetic level of the incision.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the pathogenesis of pathological scar and the effect of ISO-1 on the behavior of scar fibroblasts.Methods Samples of normal skin,normal scar,and pathological scar were collected and detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining and immumohistochemical staining.Human fibroblasts were isolated from the samples and then divided into different groups with the intervention with ISO-1 (0 ～ 100 μ mol/mL).Fibroblast proliferation was detected by Alamber dyeing and cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.Expressions of fibroblast specific proteins and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways wcre detected by Western Blot and RT-PCR.Results The positive rates of MIF for hyperplastic scar and keloid were greater than those for normal scar and normal skin (P ＜ 0.01).Apoptotic cells occurred less in the group without intervention.The apoptotic rate increased gradually as the concentration of ISO-1 increased.There were significant statistical differences in the migration rate among all the groups (P ＜ 0.05).As concentration of ISO-1 increased,the protein and gene expressions of type I collagen,FN and CTGF were decreased.Expressions of activated PI3K and Akt decreased as ISO-1 concentration increased.Conclusions The expression of MIF is different in different types of scar tissue.ISO-1 inhibits the biological behavior of fibroblasts derived from pathological scar through PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Autologous split-thickness skin grafting is the main therapy for burn repair at functional sites, which has achieved certain effects, but there are stil some deficiencies, such as poor texture, stiffness and poor toughness, as wel as severer hyperplasia that is easy to result in contracture deformity and poor functional recovery. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical efficacy of skin co-transplantation on burn repair at functional sites. METHODS:Sixty patients with burns at functional sites (n=84) were randomized into two groups: co-transplantation of acelular dermis and autologous split-thickness skin in experimental group and autologous split-thickness skin graft in control group. Survival rate of skin flap and rate of secondary operation were compared between two groups. At 1 month after transplantation, Vancouver Scar Scale was used to assess skin color, thickness, blood vessel distribution and flexibility, and meanwhile, the severity of scar was determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival rate of skin flap was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (93%vs. 70%,P < 0.05), and the rate of secondary operation was significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group (0vs. 13%,P < 0.05). At 1 month after transplantation, scores on the skin color, thickness, blood vessel distribution and flexibility were al lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05), but the incidence of mild hyperplasia in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (52% vs. 29%,P < 0.05). These findings indicate that co-transplantation of acelular alogeneic dermis and autologous split-thickness skin for burn repair at functional sites can effectively enhance the survival rate of skin flap, reduce the rate of secondary operation, contribute to wound healing and reduce the severity of hyperplasia.
ABSTRACT
AIM:Cyclin is a decisive factor of regulating cell cycle,and RNA interference as an effective and specific gene silencing technique,can induce cell express the phenotype of specific gene deficiency. This study is to apply cyclinD1 specific small interfering RNA(siRNA) on inhibiting cyclinD1 gene expression and investigate the effect of cyclinD1 specific siRNA on the cell cycle and multiplication in keloid fibroblasts. METHODS:The experiment was conducted at the Institute of Genetic Engineering(Grade BSL-2) in Southern Medical University from July 2006 to May 2007.①siRNA was designed with siRNA target finder of ambion Company,and synthesized chemically in Shanghai GeneChem,Co.,Ltd. Then double-strand siRNA was obtained following degenerative renaturation. Keloid fibroblasts were sampled from the patients in the Department of Plastic Surgery,Southern Medical University(informed consents were obtained from the patients or their relatives).②The keloid fibroblasts were divided into experimental group and control group. The cyclinD1 specific siRNA was transfected into the keloid fibroblast of the experimental group by the liposome-mediated gene transfection method. The untreated cells were set as controls.③At hours 24,48 and 72 of transfection,light microscope was used to observe cell morphologic change and flow cytometry was used to examine cell cycle. The viable cells were counted by MTT colorimetry and a cell growth curve was drawn. RESULTS:①Abnormal change of cell morphology that became into spherical shape or oval-shape from normal long fusiform after transfection may be the apoptosis or necrosis cells.②The G1 stage of cell cycle extended and the S stage decurtated. At 24,48 and 72 hours after transfection,the radio of G1 stage cell was 60.13%,66.22% and 67.53%,which were all significantly higher than that in the control group(54.53%);the radio of S stage cell(18.25%,17.11% and 11.15%) was also significantly lower than that in the control group(22.31%),indicating that the proportion of the cells blocked in G1 stage and those in S stage decreased in the keloid fibroblast.③siRNA-cyclinD1 inhibited the growth of keloid fibroblasts obviously by using MTT assay,and the cell growth curves indicated that the proliferation of cell transfected with cyclinD1 specific siRNA was inhibited significantly when compared with controls. CONCLUSION:CyclinD1 specific siRNA effectively inhibits the expression of cyclinD1 in keloid fibroblasts thus arresting the cell cycle at G1 stage and enhancing cell apoptosis.
