ABSTRACT
La recesión gingival es considerada como una deformidad o condición mucogingival, la Academia Americana de Periodontología, define a la recesión gingival como el desplazamiento del margen del tejido blando apical a la unión cemento-esmalte con la exposición de la superficie radicular. El tratamiento de las recesiones gingivales es un motivo de consulta común debido a razones estéticas, hipersensibilidad dentinaria, molestias durante el cepillado e incluso temor a la pérdida dentaria. Es una situación clínica común, 60% de la población humana tiene algún tipo de recesión gingival. Al realizar el examen clínico a paciente masculino de 55 años, se observó una recesión gingival tipo 1 (RT1) sin pérdida de inserción interproximal de la clasificación de Cairo. Se realizó el colgajo posicionado coronalmente (CPC) utilizando una matriz dérmica acelular (MDA) de origen humano OrACELL®. Se obtuvo resultado favorable en el recubrimiento de recesiones gingivales múltiples; considerándolos como una buena alternativa frente a los injertos gingivales autógenos. Concluyendo que, el uso de la matriz dérmica acelular para el tratamiento de la recesión gingival tipo 1 es una adecuada opción para el recubrimiento radicular. Se recomiendan más estudios a largo plazo para ver la estabilidad de los resultados obtenidos con la MDA (AU)
Gingival recession, considered a deformity or mucogingival condition, the American Academy of Periodontology, defines gingival recession as the exposure of the root surface resulting from migration of the gingival margin apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). The treatment of gingival recessions is a common reason for consultation due to aesthetic reasons, dentin hypersensitivity, discomfort during brushing and even fear of tooth loss. It is a common clinical situation, 60% of the human population has some kind of gingival recession. Clinical examination of a 55-year-old male patient showed a type 1 gingival recession (RT1) without loss of interproximal insertion of the Cairo classification. Coronally advanced flap (CAF) was performed using an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) of human origin OrACELL®. Favorable results were obtained in the coating of multiple gingival recessions; considering them as a good alternative to autogenous gingival grafts. Concluding that, the use of the acellular dermal matrix for the treatment of gingival recession type 1, is a suitable option for root lining. Further long-term studies are recommended to see the elasticity of MDA outcomes (AU)

ABSTRACT
Introdução: O neurinoma plexiforme gigante é um neuroectoderma e uma doença hereditária. É um tumor cutâneo incomum associado à NF1, caracterizado como um tumor benigno da bainha do nervo periférico envolvendo múltiplos fascículos nervosos. Os objetivos da reconstrução da cobertura do antebraço são proteger as estruturas que vão até o punho e a mão e evitar cicatrizes que levem à perda de movimento. Tanto o antebraço quanto a mão desempenham papéis funcionais e sociais. O manejo bem-sucedido de feridas complexas é necessário para a reabilitação funcional geral desses pacientes. Relato do Caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 31 anos, apresentou-se na divisão de cirurgia plástica com neurofibroma plexiforme gigante no antebraço direito. Após ressecção cuidadosa, todos os tendões anteriores do antebraço foram expostos. O defeito foi coberto com Pelnac T enxertável (espessura de 3mm e tamanho 12 X 24cm2), fixados com pontos monocryl 4-0. Após 10 dias, a matriz dérmica acelular foi removida e um enxerto de malha de pele de espessura parcial foi colocado. No dia 7, a matriz dérmica acelular apresentou bons sinais de ingestão. No dia 17, observamos uma sobrevida do enxerto de 95%. No seguimento de 3 meses, a reconstrução estava estável, sem defeitos de contorno, a mão apresentava amplitude de movimento completa e o paciente não apresentava problemas nas atividades diárias. Conclusões: A matriz dérmica acelular parece ser uma opção útil na cobertura de defeitos complexos no antebraço, permitindo menor morbidade e rápida recuperação funcional.
Introduction: Giant plexiform neurinoma is a neuroectoderm and inherited disease. It is an uncommon skin tumor associated with NF1, characterized as a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor surrounding multiple nervous fascicles. The goals of forearm coverage reconstruction are to protect the structures running to the wrist and hand and prevent scarring that leads to movement loss. Both forearm and hand play functional and social roles. Successful management of complex wounds is necessary for the overall functional rehabilitation of these patients. Case Report: A 31-year-old woman presented at the plastic surgery division with a giant plexiform neurofibroma in the right forearm. After careful resection, all anterior forearm tendons were exposed. The defect was covered with graftable Pelnac T (thickness of 3mm and sizing 12 X 24cm2), fixed with 4-0 monocryl sutures. After 10 days, the acellular dermal matrix silicone layer was removed, and a split-thickness skin meshed graft was placed. On day 7, the acellular dermal matrix showed good signs of intake. On day 17, we observed a 95% graft survival. At the 3-month follow-up, reconstruction was stable without contouring defects, the hand had full range of motion, and the patient had no problems in daily activities. Conclusions: Acellular dermal matrix appears to be a useful option in covering complex defects in the forearm, allowing for less morbidity and rapid functional recovery.
ABSTRACT
A serious complication of penile girth enhancement with acellular dermal matrix(ADM) patch is large area penile skin necrosis. Since the penile skin has characteristics such as thin, elasticity, pliability, and durability to withstand erection and friction, the repair surgery is often difficult to achieve good results. Furthermore, the implantation of ADM patch increases the difficulty of surgery. From March 2014 to August 2019, a total of 13 patients with skin necrosis after penile girth enhancement with ADM patch were treated in our center.The debridement and change dressing, according to the condition of the necrotic skin of penis, were performed in all patients. 7 patients used the repairing method of scrotal skin flap via one side scrotal artery, 6 patients used the repairing method of full thickness skin graft. The penile function was not affected with 6 to 12 months′ follow-up after surgery and the curative effect was satisfactory.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the outcomes of combined lingual mucosal graft with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty and combined lingual mucosal graft with ADM (acellular dermal matrix) urethroplasty for the treatment of repair failed hypospadias.Methods:From February 2017 to February 2019, 26 patients with failed hypospadias repairs were treated with combined lingual mucosal graft with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (14 cases in Group A), and combined lingual mucosal graft with ADM urethroplasty (12 cases in Group B). The mean age of Group A was (29.5±1.2) years (range 18.0-41.0 years), and (26.5±0.8) years (range 20.0-38.0 years) in Group B. The previous operation times was mean (3.6±0.7)(range 2-5 times) and (4.6±0.8)(range 3-5 times) in Group A and Group B respectively. Operation method: All patients were nasally intubated, the remaining curvature was corrected, the fibrous tissue or scar was removed, and the defected urethra was measured. In Group A, the lingual mucosa was spread and fixed to the corpora cavernosa over the midline as the urethral plate, the buccal mucosa was covered the lingual mucosa as ventral urethra, both the mucosa lateral edges was sutured. In Group B, the lingual mucosa was harvested and fixed to the corpora cavernosa the same as in Group A, the ADM was made appropriate length and width, covered and sutured with the lingual mucosa. The lingual mucosa was harvested mean (5.0±0.2)cm(range 4-6cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm (range 1.0-1.5cm)wide and mean (5.0±0.2)cm(range 5-6cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm (range 1.0-1.5cm)wide in Group A and Group B respectively( P<0.05). In Group A, the buccal mucosa was harvested mean (4.1±0.2)cm(range 3.5-5.5cm)long, mean (1.2±0.2)cm wide. Criteria for successful repair of hypospadias were set as: ①The appearance of the penis is nearly normal; ②The penis curvature was corrected; ③Urethra orifice in normal position; ④Urine flow line is normal. The outcomes of the two groups were analyzed and compared, statistical analysis was done using SPSS 18.0 software. Results:The mean follow-up time was (16.3±1.6)(8-24) months. The age, number of preoperative surgeries, number of previous oral mucous membranes, and length of urethral defects were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in A and B( P>0.05). The length of oral mucosa was harvested during the operation between group A and Group B were statistically significant differences( P<0.05). The incidence of oral complications in group A and B: Oral pain 7/14, 1/12; The feeling of tension in mouth 8/14, 1/12; The numbness in the oral 8/14, 1/12, A and Group B were statistically significant differences( P<0.05). The incidence of urethral complications in group A and Group B: the urethra fistula 1/14, 4/12; the urethral stricture 2/14, 6/12, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). Penile curvature 2/14, 1/12, ( P>0.05). The success rate was 12/14 and 5/12 in Group A and B respectively, with statistical difference( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combined lingual mucosal graft with buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty could be a good choice for repeated failed hypospadias repairs. Combined lingual mucosal graft with ADM urethroplasty has many complications and less success, should be performed in caution.
ABSTRACT
Objective@# To investigate the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on the repair of oral mucosal defects and to provide the basis for soft tissue growth in oral implant operations.@*Methods@#Thirty-six healthy male Japanese big ear rabbits were randomly divided into the PRF group, ADM group, Autograft group (autologous connective tissue transplantation group) and Control group (blank control group); each group contained nine rabbits. Between the midline and the hard palate maxillary incisors, in an 8-mm location preparation and a 10-mm standard mucosa defect, the ADM group, PRF and Autograft group were implanted with ADM, autologous PRF and autologous cornification mucosa, respectively, whereas the control group had wound gauze compression processing at 7, 14, and 21 days to determine the wound healing rate in the area selected by HE staining. The inflammatory grade and average epithelial thickness were observed, and the results were statistically analyzed.@*Results @#Compared with the control group, the PRF, ADM and Autograft groups had significantly advanced wound healing (P < 0.05). The wound healing degree in the PRF group was similar to that of the ADM group at all time points (P > 0.05). The wound healing degree in the PRF and ADM groups was lower than that of the Autograft group at each time point (P < 0.05). HE staining results showed that compared with the control group, the levels of inflammation in the PRF group, ADM group and Autograft group were reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between the PRF, ADM and Autograft groups (P > 0.05). The epithelial thickness in the ADM group was similar to that in the Autograft group (P > 0.05). The epithelial thickness in the ADM group was higher than that in the PRF group at 7 d and 14 d (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference at 21 d (P > 0.05).@*Conclusion @#PRF and ADM have similar healing effects in repairing oral mucosa defects, and they can be used as soft tissue augmentation materials instead of connective tissue transplantation.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Dermis-derived extracellular matrix, as a cartilage repair scaffold, provides a space for the growth of cartilage tissue, and promotes cell adhesion and proliferation. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to differentiate into chondrocytes. Both of them used alone have disadvantages. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with calf acellular dermal matrix to repair beagle dog articular cartilage defects. METHODS: Beagle dog bone marrow blood was extracted from Beagle dogs. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were obtained by density gradient centrifugation and passaged. Acellular dermal matrix was prepared from the dorsal dermis of neonatal calves by ultrasonic oscillation, freeze-drying and pepsin. 0. 2 mL of cell suspension was added to the surface of acellular dermal matrix until covered, then which was placed in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C for 48 hours. Twelve adult beagle dogs were used to establish knee joint cartilage defect models, and then randomized into three groups: In the acellular dermal matrix combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group (combination group), cartilage defects were repaired with acellular dermal matrix combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. In the single acellular dermal matrix group, cartilage defects were repaired with acellular dermal matrix. The model control group received no treatment. At 12 weeks after surgery, the right knee joints were observed by stereomicroscope, hematoxylin-eosin staining and type II collagen immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Scanning electron microscopy showed that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to and grew well in the acellular dermal matrix. (2) Hematoxylin-eosin staining revealed that the repaired surface in the combination group was slightly lower than that of the surrounding normal tissues, and the repaired tissues integrated well with the surrounding cartilages. The defects in the single acellular dermal matrix group were filled with fibrous tissues. Few surrounding tissues of defect were repaired in the model control group. (3) Type II collagen immunohistochemical staining showed that in the combination group, articular cartilage defects were filled with chondrocyte-like tissues. In the single acellular dermal matrix group, the defect was filled with fibrous tissues. No tissue was found in the model control group. (4) These results indicate that the new calf acellular dermal matrix has good biocompatibility and can promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with acellular dermal matrix can effectively repair beagle dog knee joint cartilage defects.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate decision regret among patients receiving penile girth enhancement with acellular dermal matrix (PGE with ADM) and to investigate the potential indicators for decisional regret so as to facilitate the decision-making process for this special group.@*METHODS@#In the study, 78 patients receiving PGE with ADM from Jun. 2016 to Jan. 2019 at Peking University People's Hospital and cooperative hospitals were eligible. Penile girth was taken by only one surgeon 1 week before surgery. Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HAD), international index of erectile function (IIEF) and a 10 cm long visual analogue scale named visualized penile image (VPI) were applied to measure psychological burden, erectile function and satisfaction with penile image respectively at the same time. All the patients were followed up for 3 months. Decision regret scale (DRS) was adopted for measuring decisional regret. Multivariate analysis of variance was applied to investigate the potential indicators for regret. Data analysis process was conducted with SPSS (version 24.0; SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).@*RESULTS@#Mean penile girth recorded before intervention was (8.29±0.30) cm and increased to (9.46±0.29) cm post surgery (t=76.28, P < 0.01). As for both subscales of HAD measuring psychological burden, a signi-ficant reduction in the mean score was seen, that is, 2.8±1.3 (t=19.28, P < 0.05) for anxiety and 3.0±1.2 (t=20.67, P < 0.05) for depression, respectively. The average score of VPI increased by 3.7±1.1 (t=30.63, P < 0.05). There was no significant change in the average score of IIEF measuring erectile satisfaction (t=1.60, P=0.11). Twenty-nine (38.2%) patients expressed regret to some degree, and the mean DRS score was 23.4±14.8. The scores of DRS correlated negatively with scores of visualized penis image (r=-0.348, P < 0.01), and positively with scores of anxiety (r=0.760, P < 0.01) and depression subscale (r=0.471, P < 0.01). The scores of DRS was irrelevant to those of IIEF (r=0.02, P=0.867). The patients with high annual income (> 120 000 yuan) and education level above undergraduate were more prone to experience decision regret after intervention (P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#PGE with ADM did augment penile girth and lower psychological burden, the regret rate of which was acceptably low among the patients. High income and good education might indicate more post-operative regret. Additional decision-making aids should be offered to patients with high income and education level above high school.

RESUMEN: Objetivo: El propósito del reporte de caso fue evaluar la cobertura radicular (CR) en el sector anterior luego de haber realizado la técnica de túnel modificada utilizando Matriz Dérmica Acelular (MDA). Consideraciones clínicas: La literatura ha descrito el uso de la técnica de túnel desde hace varias décadas y en los últimos años se ha perfeccionado con desplazamiento del tejido gingival hacia coronal simultáneo con el uso de MDA con el fin de lograr mejores resultados. Aunque en situaciones clínicas de cobertura de recesión gingival (RG) es discutible qué técnica puede ser más efectiva y existen diferentes alternativas, la técnica de túnel más colgajo desplazado coronal utilizando MDA es una línea de investigación prometedora y todavía no está concluída por tanto sería interesante profundizar al respecto. Conclusión: El caso clínico presenta el seguimiento de un paciente con recesión tipo 1 (RT1), que fue operado utilizando MDA y la técnica de túnel modificada demostrando que puede ser efectiva en la cobertura total de la recesión con resultados estéticos sostenibles en un período de 24 meses.
ABSTRACT: Objective: The purpose of the case report was to evaluate the radicular coverage (RC) in the upper anterior sector after having performed the modified tunnel technique using the Acellular Dermal Matrix (ADM). Clinical considerations: The literature has described the use of the tunnel technique for several decades and in recent years has been perfected with displacement of the gingival tissue to coronal with the use of ADM to achieve better results. Although in clinical situations of gingival recession (GR) coverage it is questionable which technique can be more effective and there are different alternatives, the tunneling technique plus coronal displacement flap using ADM is a promising line of research and is not yet concluded so it would be interesting to deepen in this regard. Conclusion: The clinical case presents the follow-up of a patient with recession type 1 (RT1) who was operated using ADM and the modified tunnel technique demonstrating that it can be effective in the total coverage of the recession with sustainable aesthetic results in a period of 24 months.

Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most commonly used reconstruction technique after mastectomy. This is because skin-sparing mastectomy has become possible with advancements in oncology. In addition, the development of breast implants and the advent of acellular dermal matrices have reduced postoperative complications and resulted in superior cosmetic results. The most frequently performed surgical breast reconstruction procedure for the past 20 years was the insertion of an implant under the pectoralis major muscle by means of the dual plane approach. However, some patients suffered from pain and animation deformity caused by muscle manipulation. Recently, a prepectoral approach has been used to solve the above problems in select patients, and the results are similar to subpectoral results. However, this technique is not always chosen due to the number of considerations for successful surgery. In this article, we will discuss the emergence of prepectoral breast reconstruction, indications and contraindications, surgical procedures, and outcomes.

Objective • To investigate the changes of skin mechanical properties after deep second-degree burn, and study the feasibility of composite transplantation by using denatured dermal acellular matrix. Methods • The deep second-degree burn models in SD rats were constructed, and then the full skins were harvested after 3 h and 3 d, respectively, to compare the skin modulus of elasticity and ultimate load with normal skins. In addition, the structural differences of the dermal matrix were also compared. The composite transplantations were conducted by using the normal or denatured dermal acellular matrix, and then the general and histological structures of living skin grafts were observed. Results • The moduli of elasticity of the normal skins and the skins 3 h and 3 d after burn in SD rats were (8.7±6.4) MPa, (7.2±2.7) MPa and (2.7±0.3) MPa, respectively. The ultimate loads were (107.1±41.7) N, (81.5±10.8) N and (42.2±7.0) N, respectively. Both indexes were significantly reduced in the skins 3 d after burn compared to the normal ones (P<0.05). In the acellular matrix of denatured dermis 3 h after burn, the pore structure was still similar to that of normal one, and the appearance and histological structure after healing from composite transplantation were similar to those of the control group. Conclusion • The early denatured skin tissue after deep second-degree burn maintains the similar mechanical properties and histological structure to the normal skin, which is a potential source of acellular dermal matrix for composite transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the biological safety and compatibility of five kinds of acellular fish skin matrices, and to screen the materials meeting the criteria of biocompatibility. Methods Acellular fish skin matrices were prepared through decolorization, degreasing, decellularization and cross-linking using five kinds of fish skins leather jacket fish (Thamnaconus septentrionalis), black fish (Channa argus), eel (Anguillidae), carp (Cyprinus carpio) and silver crap (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). According to the national standard (GB/T 16886.5-2017), different concentrations (10 g/L and 100 g/L) of extracts of acellular fish skin matrices were prepared, and the CCK-8 assay was used to detect the in vitro toxicity of extracts of acellular fish skin matrices to human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The surface structures of different collagen membranes were observed under scanning electron microscopy. The H-E and Masson staining were used to observe whether the fish skin matrix materials were completely acellular. The human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured with the medium containing standard concentration of 100 g/L acellular fish skin matrix material extracts. The blood compatibility of the meterial was tested by hemolysis test. Live/Dead, TUNEL and flow cytometry were used to detect the cell survival and apoptosis levels. Results CCK-8 assay showed that the viability indexes of the cells co-cultured with the leather jacket fish and black fish skin acellular matrix material extracts were both 70% at the concentration of 10 g/L, and the other three materials were all 70%. At the concentration of 100 g/L, the viability index of the cells co-cultured with the leather jacket fish skin acellular matrix material extracts was 70%, and that with the black fish was 70%. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the leather jacket fish skin acellular matrix materials had porous and compact structure inside, and black fish skin acellular matrix materials had smooth structure inside. The H-E staining and Masson staining showed that leather jacket fish and black fish skin acellular matrix materials were both acellular collagen fibers. The hemolysis rates (the national standard ≤5%) of leather jacket fish and black fish skin acellular matrix material extracts were (1.23±0.43)% and (6.35±0.47)%, respectively. Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells survived well in the culture medium containing extracts of leather jacket fish skin acellular matrix material, but most cells died or apoptozed in the culture medium containing extracts of Black fish skin acellular matrix material. Conclusion The leather jacket fish decellularized skin matrix material has better biosafety and biocompatibility, and has the potential to be a scaffold material for tissue engineering.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the clinical effects of split-thickness scalp and allogenic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in repairing deep wounds of hands in patients with extremely extensive burns.@*Methods@#Six patients with extremely extensive burns complicated by deep burn in hands were admitted to our department from December 2014 to December 2017, including 4 males and 2 females, aged 21 to 58 years. Their total burn areas were from 85% to 95% total body surface area (TBSA), and the sum of deep-partial thickness and full-thickness wounds was larger than 50% TBSA. Under general anesthesia, deep wounds of 10 dorsal hands were repaired by combined transplantation of split-thickness scalp and allogenic ADM in 4 to 6 weeks after injury. The skin grafting range was beyond the metacarpophalangeal joint, including partial dorsal digital deep wounds. Survival of skin grafts on dorsal hands, follow-up of hand shape and functional recovery were observed and recorded.@*Results@#Six patients were successfully treated. There was no infection on the dorsal deep wounds of 10 hands after surgery, and the grafts survived well. During follow-up of 1 to 2 years after operation, there were no recurrent tension blisters or dorsal extension deformity of the metacarpophalangeal joints in 10 hands, the shape and function of hands recovered well, and hand Carroll scores were from 90 to 99 points, with functional levels of Ⅴ and Ⅵ.@*Conclusions@#The combined transplantation of split-thickness scalp and allogenic ADM is a good method for repairing deep hand wounds in patients with extremely extensive burns, which can alleviate the cicatrix hyperplasia and contracture of healed hand wounds, and improve the shape and function of hands.
ABSTRACT
Breast reconstruction is an essential part in the comprehensive management of breast cancer. The clinical application of patches (e.g., acellular dermal matrix, ADM) is the most impactful innovation in implant breast reconstruction in recent years. The wide application of patches in implant breast reconstruction promotes the development of immediate prosthetic reconstruction, im-proves the aesthetic outcomes of reconstructed breasts, and avoids additional donor tissue damage caused by autologous flap breast reconstruction. At present, patches used in breast reconstruction are mainly ADMs, bovine pericardial patches, and TiLOOP, which are widely used because of their good histocompatibility and tissue defect repair ability. This article reviews the applications and research statuses of these patches.
ABSTRACT
@#Gingival recession is one of the common oral symptoms. Periodontal soft tissue defects caused by gingival recession and problems related to aesthetics, prosthetics and orthodontic treatment have garnered increasing attention. This article reviews the etiology, classification and treatment of gingival recession to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of gingival recession. Anatomical characteristics of teeth, bacterial and viral infection, Occlusion trauma, Improperbrushing methods and other daily behaviors and iatrogenic factors may lead to gingival recession. Miller classification is the most commonly used classification standard. It is divided into 4 degrees according to the relationship between gingival recession and the association between the gingival membrane and the loss of adjacent alveolar bone or interdental papilla. Gingival surgeries, such as coronally advanced flap, laterally positioned flap, subepithelial connective tissue graft for Miller Ⅰ degrees and Ⅱ gingival recession retreat, obtain a more satisfactory success rate. Regarding the Ⅲ degree gingival recession, the postoperative curative effect is poor and can only cover part of the root. Regarding Ⅳ degrees gingival recession, surgery cannot reach the root surface coverage. For patients with Miller Ⅳgingival recession caused by severe periodontitis, the surgical treatment is poor, and repair methods, such as sputum, can also be considered. In recent years, a variety of biological materials have been jointly applied to gingival surgery, such as tooth enamel matrix derivative (EMD), allograft acellular dermal matrix (ADM), porcine collagen matrix (PCM) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). The use of these biomaterials can improve root coverage, increase gingival thickness and keratinized gingival width, avoid the requirement of palatal flap removal, reduce the surgical risk and increase patient compliance.

Objective@#To explore the allogeneic mouse adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC)-microporous sheep acellular dermal matrix (ADM) on healing of wound with full-thickness skin defect in mouse and the related mechanism.@*Methods@#One Kunming mouse was sacrificed by cervical dislocation to collect adipose tissue from inguinal region. Mouse ADSCs were isolated from the adipose tissue and cultured in vitro. Cells of the third passage were identified by cell adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. The expressions of CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD34 were analyzed by flow cytometry. After one sheep was sacrificed, microporous sheep ADM was prepared from sheep back using decellularization method and freezing-thawing method. A 12 mm diameter, round, full-thickness skin defect wound was made on the back of each one of 36 Kunming mice. The wounds were covered by microporous sheep ADM. The mice were divided into group ADSC and control (C) group with 18 mice in each group according to the random number table after surgery. A volume of 0.2 mL DMEM/F12 culture medium containing 1×106 ADSCs was injected between microporous sheep ADM and wound of mice in group ADSC. While 0.2 mL DMEM/F12 culture medium was injected between microporous sheep ADM and wound of mice in group C. On post surgery day (PSD) 12 and 17, wound healing rates of mice in the 2 groups were calculated. On PSD 7, 12, and 17, wound vascularization of mice in the 2 groups was observed under reverse irradiation of backlight. On PSD 7, 12, and 17, the wound granulation tissue of mice in group ADSC was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. On PSD 7, the thicknesses of granulation tissue of mice in the 2 groups was measured. On PSD 12 and 17, expressions of VEGF in wounds of mice in the 2 groups were detected by immunohistochemical method. The sample number was 6 in each group at each time point in the above experiments. Data were processed with t test and analysis of variance of factorial design.@*Results@#(1) After 7 days of adipogenic induction, lipid droplet was observed in cytoplasm using oil red O staining. After 21 days of osteogenic induction, black deposits of calcium salts were detected using silver nitrate staining. Expression rates of CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD34 in cells were 97.82%, 99.32%, 97.35%, and 5.88% respectively. The cells were identified as ADSCs. (2) The wound healing rates of mice in group ADSC on PSD 12 and 17 [(78±6)%, (98±3)%] were significantly higher than those in group C [(60±9)%, (90±4)%, t=4.26, 4.46, P<0.01]. (3) On PSD 7, no vessel obviously grew into the center of wounds of mice in the 2 groups, while the granulation tissue has covered the wounds of mice in group ADSC. On PSD 12, the vessels were more abundant in wounds of mice in group ADSC than those in group C. On PSD 17, big vessels crossing the whole wounds was observed in wounds of mice in group ADSC, while big vessels were observed without crossing the whole wounds in wounds of mice in group C. (4) The wounds were covered with thin granulation tissue on PSD 7, and the granulation tissue began to thicken on PSD 12 and were covered by epidermis on PSD 17 in wounds of mice in group ADSC. On PSD 7, the granulation tissue in wounds of mice in group ADSC [(0.62±0.05) mm] was significantly thicker than that in group C [ (0.31±0.04) mm, t=12.27, P<0.01]. (5) On PSD 12 and 17, expressions of VEGF in wounds of mice in group ADSC [(80.7±2.2), (0.98±0.03)/mm2] were significantly than those in group C [(59.5±2.4), (81.5±2.6)/mm2, t=15.95, 14.14, P<0.01].@*Conclusions@#Allogeneic mouse ADSC-microporous sheep ADM can accelerate angiogenesis and growth of granulation tissue, thus promoting wound healing, which may be due to the increase of expression of VEGF.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the preparation of bioactive denatured acellular dermal matrix (DADM) from burn mice riched in mice bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.@*Methods@#Twelve BALB/c mice were collected and 20% total body surface area scalds (hereinafter referred to as burns) with deep partial thickness were inflicted on the back skin of each mouse. After removing epidermis, the burned skin were collected and divided into Triton X-100 group and elhylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) group according to the random number table, with 15 samples in each group. Samples in Triton X-100 group and EDTA group were respectively placed in mixture of 2.5 g/L Triton X-100 and 2.5 g/L trypsin solution and mixture of 0.2 g/L EDTA and 2.5 g/L trypsin solution for sustained vibration and elution for 24 hours to make mice DADM. The general appearance of DADM was observed. The structure and arrangement of collagen fibers of DADM were observed by scanning electron microscope and tissue structure of DADM were observed by fluorescence microscope. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from mice were transplanted in mice DADM in the two groups with concentration of 2×105 cells per well to prepare bioactive mice DADM. After cultured for 3 days, tissue structure of bioactive mice DADM was observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining, distribution and number of BMSCs of bioactive mice DADM were observed by immunofluorescence staining. Proliferation of BMSCs of bioactive mice DADM after cultured for 2 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d was detected by cell count kit-8. Data were processed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement and t test.@*Results@#(1) Mice DADM in the two groups were white in appearance with certain tenacity and elasticity. Mice DADM in the two groups maintained good three-dimensional porous network structure. Collagen fibers of mice DADM in EDTA group were with good continuity, and collagen fibers of mice DADM in Triton X-100 group were fractured in varying degrees. Mice DADM in the two groups were decellularized completely, and the collagen fibers were loose and arranged disorderly. The continuity of tissue structure of mice DADM in EDTA group was better than that of mice DADM in Triton X-100 group. (2) After cultured for 3 days, the BMSCs in bioactive mice DADM in the two groups were evenly distributed. The number of bioactive BMSCs in mice DADM in EDTA group was 37±7, which was significantly more than that of mice DADM in Triton X-100 group (25±8, t=0.128, P<0.05). The proliferation of bioactive BMSCs in mice DADM in Triton X-100 group and EDTA group was similar at 2 hours and on day 1 after cultured (t=1.292, 0.656, P>0.05). On 3, 5 days after cultured, the proliferation of bioactive BMSCs in mice DADM in EDTA group was significantly higher than that of mice DADM in Triton X-100 group (t=2.309, 14.128, P<0.05 or P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#Mice DADM prepared by decellularization of EDTA has better three-dimensional porous network structure and good continuity of collagen fiber. The BMSCs in bioactive DADM from burn mice prepared by transplanting BMSCs are evenly distributed with large quantity and strong proliferative capacity, which has the potential to be good autologous dermal substitute.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acellular dermal matrix combined with modified tunnel in the treatment of gingival recessions. Methods: 27 teeth with gingival recessions in 8 patients were treated by the means of acellular dermal matrix and modified tunnel technique and were followed up for 1 year. The clinical parameters of gingival recession depth,recession width,keratinized tissue height,probing depth and clinical attachment level were assessed. Percentage of root coverage(PRC),complete root coverage(CRC) and patient satisfactions were evaluated. Results: 1 years after treatment PRC reached to 76％,19 teeth got complete root coverage. Recession depth and recession width were significantly decreased(P ＜ 0. 05). Keratinized tissue height increased by(1. 25 ± 0. 24) mm. Clinical attachment level increased by(2. 75 ± 0. 59) mm. Conclusion: Acellular dermal matrix allograft combined with modified tunnel technique is effective in the treatment of gingival recessions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the histological effect of acellular dermal matrix(ADM)on insufficiency in guide keratinized tissue regeneration. Methods 6 cases of single anterior tooth implantation in the hospital in 2016 were included in the study. 3 cases were treated with immediate tooth extraction and implantation. Bone substitution materials were grafted in the space between the tooth extraction socket and the implants. The keratin-ized tissue dehiscence was covered by double layers of acellular dermal matrix membrane(Heal-All?,ZH-BIO, China),which was fixed to the adjacent soft tissue by suturing. Another 3 cases were routinely treated with delayed implantation of single anterior tooth. All the cases were subject to harvesting of the cover soft tissues of implants with a punch 4 months later. The new grown soft tissues were histologically observed. Results All cases were sur-vived. The new grown keratinized tissues were observed. Conclusion Acellular dermal matrix can guide the aug-mentation of keratinized tissues.
