Using adipose stem cell spheroids with fibrin hydrogel-assisted delivery for peripheral nerve repair: an experimental study
Introduction: The current treatment options of peripheral nerve injuries, despite substantial advancements, are still unsatisfactory. One promising approach is fibrin-hydrogel nerve conduits (FNCs) loaded with human adipose stem cells (hASCs) for nerve guidance, protection and for local release of neurotrophic factors (TNFs). The combination of FNCs and ASCs showed promising results in vitro and in vivo for nerve regeneration. Within this context, ASCs based spheroids are emerging for enhanced cytokine profile.

Push-through filtration of emulsified lipoaspirate over a 500 µm mesh filter significantly reduces the amount of stromal vascular fraction and mesenchymal stem cells.
Objectives: Mechanical isolation of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) separates the stromal component from the parenchymal cells. Emulsification is currently the most commonly used disaggregation method and is effective in disrupting adipocytes and fragmenting the extracellular matrix (ECM). Subsequent push-through filtration of emulsified adipose tissue removes parts of the ECM that are not sufficiently micronized, thereby further liquifying the tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate whether filtration over a 500- µm mesh filter might affect the SVF and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) quantity in ...

Capsulectomy versus capsulotomy to treat breast capsular contracture: a comprehensive review and analysis
Objective: Many studies investigating the treatment of capsular contracture after implant-based breast surgery have been published. However, there have been only a few comparative studies between capsulectomy and capsulotomy. The authors performed a comprehensive literature review to compare recurrence rates between capsulectomy and capsulotomy. Surgical complications were reviewed as secondary outcome.

The effect of remote ischemic postconditioning on stasis zone in acute burn: experimental study
Objective: Stasis zone is the encircling area of the coagulation zone which is a critical area determining the depth and width of the necrosis in burn patients. We performed an experimental study to find out the effect of remote ischemic postconditioning, systemically and locally, on the stasis zone in burn model.
