ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of treatment on facial soft tissue depression by autologous fat granule mixed with adipose-derived stem ceils.Methods A lof of 36 patients with facial soft tissue depression from September 2011 to March 2013 in this clinic were as the research objects.The autologous fat granules were harvested from patients' lateral thigh.The autologous fat granules mixed with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) which were harvested by separating and cleaning were injected into facial soft tissue depression.The standard was based on the subjective satisfaction of patients and the physicians' objective assessment;there were two unrelated doctors to reach an objective assessment of the clinical efficacy based on the comparison of preoperative and postoperative photographs.Results A lof of 36 patients were followed up for 5 16 months,low absorption rate of injec ted fat and significant improvement in shape filling areas were observed,and skin texture,pores,spots and wrinkles were significantly improved.Conclusions Autologous fat granule mixed with AD SCs in the treatment of facial soft tissue depression is a minimally injuried,easily-handled,cheap and safe procedure.It is an ideal treatment of facial soft tissue depression.All the patients have no complications such as infection,induration and fat liquefaction.
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high mobility group 1 protein (HMG 1) on TNF ? expression as well as release in the kidney, and their potential role in the pathogenesis of acute renal injury associated with sepsis. Using a sepsis model by cecal ligation puncture (CLP), 50 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group ( n =10), CLP group ( n =20), and sodium butyrate treatment group ( n =20). At serial time points animals in each group were sacrificed, and blood as well as kidney tissue samples were harvested to determine HMG 1/TNF ? mRNA expression, tissue TNF ? protein level, and serum creatinine content. Compared to normal controls, both HMG 1 and TNF ? mRNA levels significantly increased in the kidney during 12～24h after CLP ( P
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between sepsis induced high mobility group 1 (HMG 1) gene expression and endotoxemia in rats. MethodsSepsis was induced by cecal ligation puncture (CLP). One hundred Wistar model rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group ( n =10), sham operation (SO) group ( n =10), CLP group (further subdivided into 2?h, 6?h, 12?h, 24?h, 48?h and 72?h post CLP, n =10 in each subgroup), and bactericidal/permeability increasing protein(rBPI 21 ) treatment group (further subdivided into 12?h, 24?h post CLP, n =10 in each subgroup). Tissue samples from the liver, lungs and kidneys were harvested for the measurement of endotoxin concentrations and HMG 1 mRNA expression by RT PCR. Results Compared to normal control and SO groups the HMG 1 mRNA levels significantly increased in tissues during 6～72?h post CLP ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the fluctuated pattern of endogenous bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein(BPI)levels,and to elucidate its significance in endotoxin response after major abdominal surgery.Methods Eleven patients undergoing major abdominal surgery were involved in present study.The levels of plasma BPI,lipopolysaccharide-binding protein(LBP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1,3,5,7,and 14 by ELISA.Plasma endotoxin concentration was determined with the chromogenic limulus amebocyte lysate(LAL),which was modified by perchloric acid(PCA)pretreatment of samples.The polymorphonuclear neutrophil count was also done at each time point.Results In comparison with normal controls,plasma BPI/LBP ratios [(1.058?0.074)?10-3,P=0.004] were significantly increased on postoperative day 1,maintained at same level on day 3,and declined on day 5.No plasma IL-6 was detected from the blood of all the 11 patients prior to operation,but plasma IL-6 level rose rapidly on day 1 after operation(27.440?12.144pg/ml,P=0.04),maintaining a high level(11.530?5.312pg/ml)on postoperative day 3,and disappeared on day 5.Conclusions Plasma BPI/LBP ratios were markedly elevated during 3 days after a major abdominal surgery,and endogenous elevated BPI may play an important role in prevention from the development of endotoxemia in surgical patients.
