Role of adipose-derived stromal cells in pedicle skin flap survival in experimental animal models

The use of skin flaps in reconstructive surgery is the first-line surgical treatment for the reconstruction of skin defects and is essentially considered the starting point of plastic surgery. Despite their excellent usability, their application includes general surgical risks or possible complications, the primary and most common is necrosis of the flap. To improve flap survival, researchers have used different methods, including the use of adiposederived stem cells, with significant positive results. In our research we will report the use of adipose-derived stem cells in pedicle skin flap survival based on current literature on various experimental models in animals.     

Proteomic analysis of testis biopsies in men treated with transient scrotal hyperthermia reveals the potential targets for contraceptive development

Mild testicular heating safely and reversibly suppresses spermatogenesis. In this study, we attempted to clarify the underlying molecular mechanism(s) involved in heat‐induced spermatogenesis suppression in human testis. We conducted global proteomic analyses of human testicular biopsies before, and at 2 and 9 wk after heat treatment. Thirty‐one and Twenty‐six known proteins were identified with significant differential expression at 2 and 9 wk after heat treatment, respectively. These were used to characterize the cellular and molecular events in the testes when seminiferous epithelia became damaged (2 wk) and recovered (9 wk). At 2 wk post‐treatment, the changed expression of a series of proteins could promote apoptosis or suppress proliferation and cell survival. At 9 wk post‐treatment, the changed expression of proteins mainly promoted cell proliferation, differentiation and survival, but resisted cell apoptosis. Among those heat‐regulated proteins, HNRNPH1 was selected for the further functional study. We found that HNRNPH1 was an anti‐apoptosis protein that could regulate the expression of other heat‐induced proteins. In conclusion, heat‐induced reversible suppression of spermatogenesis occurred by modulating the expression of proteins related to proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and cell survival pathways. These differentially expressed proteins were found to be key molecular targets affecting spermatogenesis after heat treatment.     

Angiogenic and anti-inflammatory properties of azadirachtin A improve random skin flap survival in rats

Random skin flaps are widely used to repair tissue defects. However, the distal flap regions are prone to ischemic necrosis, limiting clinical applications. Azadirachtin A, a fruit extract from the neem, improves tissue blood supply and metabolism, reduces cell swelling, promotes tissue healing, and prevents venous thrombosis. We explored whether it enhances random skin flap survival. Fifty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, low-dose, and high-dose Azadirachtin A-treated groups using a random number table. We used an improved version of the McFarlane technique to create flaps. On day 2, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels were measured. Tissue slices prepared on day 7 were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were immunohistochemically assayed. Microcirculatory blood flow was measured via laser Doppler blood flowmetry. Flap angiography was performed using the lead-oxide gelatin injection technique. And the azadirachtin A groups exhibited a greater mean flap survival area, an improved mean blood vessel density, a greater blood flow, and higher superoxide dismutase and VEGF levels, especially at the high dose. Azadirachtin A markedly reduced the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, TLR4, and NF-kB. These findings suggest that azadirachtin A promotes random skin flap survival by improving the blood supply, reducing tissue inflammation, and inhibiting flap ischemia reperfusion injury.     

Sensory structures at the surface of fish skin I. Putative chemoreceptors

Fish skin contains solitary epidermal sensory cells which, on evidence from their cytology, are believed to be chemosensory. The external appearance of the apical sensory processes of these cells, as seen by scanning electron microscopy, is shown in four species of ostariophysan teleosts, and is compared with the morphology of the pores of external taste buds. The apical processes of the gustatory cells are simple in form in all cases so far investigated in gnathostome fishes, but in some cases the solitary sensory cells have apical processes divided distally into a number of smaller processes. In the dipnoan fish Protopterus amphibius , external taste buds have simple blunt gustatory processes protruding through a cap of mucus that covers the taste bud pore. Solitary sensory cells in this species have a bulbous undivided apical process. In the lampreys, the 'end buds' have an apical morphology different from the taste bud pores of teleost fish. Lamprey epidermis has numerous solitary sensory cells each bearing a number of microvilli.     

Bovine oocytes treated prior to in vitro maturation with a combination of butyrolactone I and roscovitine at low doses maintain a normal developmental capacity.

Butyrolactone I (BL-I) and Roscovitine (ROS), two specific and potent inhibitors of M-phase promoting factor (MPF) kinase activity, were used to block germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of cattle oocytes. A concentration 6.25 microM BL-I and 12.5 microM ROS blocked over 93.3 +/- 2.5% of oocytes in germinal vesicle (GV) stage during a 24-hr culture period. Following a second 24-hr culture step in maturation medium (IVM) almost all (91.5 +/- 3.0%) inhibited oocytes resumed meiosis and reached the metaphase II (MII) stage. The MII kinetics was different for inhibited and control oocytes. Fifty percent MII was reached at 13-14 hr in BL-I + ROS treated oocytes, compared to 18 hr in control oocytes. Therefore, control oocytes were fertilised (IVF) after 22 hr IVM and inhibited oocytes after 16 or 22 hr IVM. After IVF, percentage of grade 1 freezable embryos on day 7 (D + 7) as well as percentage of blastocyst formation on D + 8 in the group of BL-I + ROS treated oocytes fertilised after 16 hr IVM were higher (P < 0.05) compared with the other experimental group fertilised after 22 hr IVM but not different in comparison with the control. Survival to freezing and thawing of grade 1 embryos frozen on D + 7 was employed as viability criteria and was similar in all groups. Thus, the presence of BL-I + ROS in the prematuration medium of bovine oocytes determines a reversible meiotic block, without compromising their subsequent developmental competence.
