RESUMEN
Objective To prepare human foreskin tissue acellular matrix graft(AMGs), and explore the toxicity of the extracts on rabbit urethral mucosal cells. Methods After preparing the decellularized matrix of human foreskin tissue, the characteristics of decellularized matrix were observed by Masson staining, and the pore size was observed by scanning electron microscope. Results Masson staining showed that the cells were removed, and the scaffold was composed of collagen. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the pore size of the scaffold was about 20-50 μm, which was uniformly distributed. The appropriate concentration of AMGs matrix extract had no obvious toxicity to urethral mucosal cells. Conclusion The acellular matrix of human foreskin tissue is an ideal AMGs scaffold material. The prepared AMGs material has low cytotoxicity and has practical value.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the clinical effect of modified Snodgrass surgical technique in the treatment of hypospadias.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 212 cases of hypospadias treated by urethroplasty from January 2008 to October 2016, 94 with the modified Snodgrass technique, namely with a silk line in addition to the urethral suture to make easier postoperative removal of the suture (group A), and the other 118 with the conventional Snodgrass technique (group B). The urethral suture was removed at 10 days after surgery for the patients in group A. We compared the success rate of surgery and incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups.@*RESULTS@#Compared with group B, group A showed a significantly higher success rate of surgery (81.36% vs 91.49%, P 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The modified Snodgrass technique can improve the success rate of surgery and reduce the incidence rates of incisional infection and urinary fistula, which deserves wide clinical application.
