Skin tissue engineering advances in severe burns: review and therapeutic applications Tập 4 - 2016
Alvin Wen Choong Chua, Yik Cheong Khoo, Bien‐Keem Tan, Kok Chai Tan, Chee Liam Foo, Si Jack Chong
AbstractCurrent advances in basic stem cell research and tissue engineering
augur well for the development of improved cultured skin tissue substitutes: a
class of products that is still fraught with limitations for clinical use.
Although the ability to grow autologous keratinocytes in-vitro from a small skin
biopsy into sheets of stratified epithelium (within 3 to 4 weeks) helped
alleviate the pr... hiện toàn bộ
The venous ulcer continues to be a clinical challenge: an update - 2018
Ting Xie, Junna Ye, Kittipan Rerkasem, Raj Mani
Abstract Venous ulcers are a common chronic problem in many countries especially
in Northern Europe and USA. The overall prevalence of this condition is 1%
rising to 3% in the over 65 years of age. Over the last 25 years, there have
been many developments applicable to its diagnosis and treatment. These
advances, notwithstanding healing response and recurrence, are variable, and the
venous ulcer c... hiện toàn bộ
Cell therapy for severe burn wound healing Tập 6 - 2018
Zhe Li, Peter Maitz
AbstractCell therapy has emerged as an important component of life-saving
procedures in treating burns. Over past decades, advances in stem cells and
regenerative medicine have offered exciting opportunities of developing
cell-based alternatives and demonstrated the potential and feasibility of
various stem cells for burn wound healing. However, there are still scientific
and technical issues that... hiện toàn bộ
The role of antioxidant micronutrients in the rate of recovery of burn patients: a systematic review - 2016
Mary Adjepong, Pius Agbenorku, Patricia Brown, Ibok Oduro
Abstract Burn injury can be detrimental to the health of individuals, meanwhile
victims lose proteins and micronutrients in wound exudates. Victims also
experience extensive protein catabolism. These make them prone to malnutrition.
Burn patients also suffer a lot of emotional trauma that reduce nutrient intake.
The aim of this paper was to review primary evidence on the effect of
antioxidant micr... hiện toàn bộ
Outcomes following operative vs. non-operative management of blunt traumatic pancreatic injuries: a retrospective multi-institutional study Tập 4 - Trang 1-7 - 2016
Poppy Addison, Toni Iurcotta, Leo I. Amodu, Geoffrey Crandall, Meredith Akerman, Daniel Galvin, Annemarie Glazer, Nathan Christopherson, Jose Prince, Matthew Bank, Christopher Sorrentino, Joaquin Cagliani, Jeffrey Nicastro, Gene Coppa, Ernesto P. Molmenti, Horacio L. Rodriguez Rilo
Traumatic pancreatic injuries are rare, and guidelines specifying management are
controversial and difficult to apply in the acute clinical setting. Due to
sparse data on these injuries, we carried out a retrospective review to
determine outcomes following surgical or non-surgical management of traumatic
pancreatic injuries. We hypothesize a higher morbidity and mortality rate in
patients treated ... hiện toàn bộ
Redirecting differentiation of mammary progenitor cells by 3D bioprinted sweat gland microenvironment Tập 7 - 2019
Rui Wang, Yihui Wang, Bin Yao, Tian Hu, Li Zhao, Yufan Liu, Xiaoli Cui, Liuhanghang Cheng, Wei Song, Sha Huang, Xiaobing Fu
Abstract Background Mammary progenitor cells (MPCs) maintain their reproductive
potency through life, and their specific microenvironments exert a deterministic
control over these cells. MPCs provides one kind of ideal tools for studying
engineered microenvironmental influence because of its accessibility and
continually undergoes postnatal developmental changes. The aim of our study is
to explore... hiện toàn bộ
Short-term effects of vacuum massage on epidermal and dermal thickness and density in burn scars: an experimental study Tập 4 - 2016
Jill Meirte, Peter Moortgat, Mieke Anthonissen, Koen Maertens, C. Lafaire, Lieve De Cuyper, Guy Hubens, Ulrike Van Daele
Abstract Background Vacuum massage is a non-invasive mechanical massage
technique invented to treat burns and scars. To date, no effects of vacuum
massage on thickness and density of human scar tissue have been reported. The
process in which external stimuli are converted into biochemical responses in
the cell is known as mechanotransduction. In the skin endothelial cells,
fibroblasts and myofibro... hiện toàn bộ
