RESUMO

Adult human neural crest-derived stem cells (NCSCs) are of extraordinary high plasticity and promising candidates for the use in regenerative medicine. Here we describe for the first time a novel neural crest-derived stem cell population within the respiratory epithelium of human adult inferior turbinate. In contrast to superior and middle turbinates, high amounts of source material could be isolated from human inferior turbinates. Using minimally-invasive surgery methods isolation is efficient even in older patients. Within their endogenous niche, inferior turbinate stem cells (ITSCs) expressed high levels of nestin, p75(NTR), and S100. Immunoelectron microscopy using anti-p75 antibodies displayed that ITSCs are of glial origin and closely related to nonmyelinating Schwann cells. Cultivated ITSCs were positive for nestin and S100 and the neural crest markers Slug and SOX10. Whole genome microarray analysis showed pronounced differences to human ES cells in respect to pluripotency markers OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, and NANOG, whereas expression of WDR5, KLF4, and c-MYC was nearly similar. ITSCs were able to differentiate into cells with neuro-ectodermal and mesodermal phenotype. Additionally ITSCs are able to survive and perform neural crest typical chain migration in vivo when transplanted into chicken embryos. However ITSCs do not form teratomas in severe combined immunodeficient mice. Finally, we developed a separation strategy based on magnetic cell sorting of p75(NTR) positive ITSCs that formed larger neurospheres and proliferated faster than p75(NTR) negative ITSCs. Taken together our study describes a novel, readily accessible source of multipotent human NCSCs for potential cell-replacement therapy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A study was performed to investigate histological changes in capsules formed around silicone breast implants and their correlation with the clinical classification of capsular contracture defined by the Baker score. For histological classification, the authors used the classification introduced by Wilflingseder, which identifies four grades of contracture. METHODS: The study included 24 female patients (average age, 40 +/- 12 years) with capsular contracture after bilateral cosmetic breast augmentation with smooth silicone gel implants (Mentor, Santa Barbara, Calif.). The Baker score was determined preoperatively for each patient. Samples of capsular tissue were obtained from all patients for histologic and immunohistochemical analyses. Capsular thickness, age of the collagen fibers, presence of synovia-like metaplasia on the inner surface of the capsule, number of histiocytes, giant cells, and other inflammatory cells, amount of silicone, foreign body granulomas, and capsule calcification were evaluated. RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between capsular thickness (p < 0.05) and Baker score. Silicone-containing deposits were found in all four histological capsule types. A trend toward greater capsular thickness was documented in patients with severe inflammatory reaction. These patients also had more clinical symptoms. Greater capsular thickness was associated with a higher number of silicone particles and silicone-loaded macrophages in the peri-implant capsule. CONCLUSIONS: The authors demonstrated a positive correlation (p < 0.05) between the clinical classification (Baker score I to IV) and the histological classification introduced by Wilflingseder (Wilflingseder score I to IV). An exact histological classification is needed to describe precisely the morphological changes in capsular contracture.

RESUMO

The ultimate goal in treating congenital microtia is the reconstruction of an auricle with a natural appearance as close as possible to the healthy one in terms of shape, contour, size, texture, position, and projection. Here we present another option to the second stage of raising the ear in Nagata's technique for treating microtia. The first step includes implantation of a cartilaginous framework and transposition of the ear lobe. Raising the cartilage leaves a skin defect behind the auricle. Instead of using a superficial temporoparietal fascia flap as described by Nagata, we raise a simple rotation flap from the mastoid and neck to close the defect with a minimal scar. The advantages of this technique include firm elevation, good frontal projection, and a natural appearance of the auriculo-cephalic sulcus with a normal retroauricular hairline. In addition, the procedure fast and practical, creates no additional scars on the scalp, and preserves the superficial temporoparietal fascia.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Vitamin A derivatives modulate the inflammatory phase in wound healing. Retinoic acid can restore decreased tensile strength and collagen content in steroid- or diabetes-impaired wounds. It is hypothesized that retinoic acid can lead to accelerated healing with improved breaking strength in unimpaired incisional wounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Skin incisions were made in 45 CD-1 mice. The sutured wounds were treated once daily with topical all-trans-retinoic acid 0.1% (n = 15), vehicle ointment (n = 15), or left untreated (n = 15). Skin biopsies at 1-, 2-, and 3-week intervals were examined using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), Masson's trichrome, and immunoperoxidase staining methods. Wound breaking strength was determined by biomechanical analysis. RESULTS: Incisions treated with retinoic acid exhibited a significantly reduced breaking strength at week 1 when compared to the vehicle and control group. Histologic examination showed a prolonged inflammatory reaction with abundant deposition of granulation tissue. Despite an increased fibroplastic proliferation in the tretinoin-treated wounds, the production of collagen was diminished. CONCLUSIONS: Topical retinoic acid does not enhance the healing of unimpaired incisional wounds. The inadequate tensile strength in the early phase of the healing process is possibly the result of an increased dermal inflammatory response and the decreased collagen content. Although these adverse effects disappeared by 3 weeks postwounding, we found no discernible benefit of supplemental retinoic acid in unimpaired wounds.
