چکیده

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors examined the detailed anatomy of the anterior lamella microscopically during 28 cases of primary double eyelid surgery. Three cadaveric dissections were performed adjunctively to compare the dynamic status in the upper lids. Subdermal tissue components and tissue changes in the upper lids were observed in 64 eyelids from secondary revisional cases who had performed an incisional technique previously. The authors also compared the locations of threads in the anterior lamella in 36 eyelids on which a nonincisional surgery technique had previously been used.

Decellularisation and histological characterisation of porcine peripheral nerves

Peripheral nerve injuries affect a large proportion of the global population, often causing significant morbidity and loss of function. Current treatment strategies include the use of implantable nerve guide conduits (NGC's) to direct regenerating axons between the proximal and distal ends of the nerve gap. However, NGC's are limited in their effectiveness at promoting regeneration Current NGCs...

Preparation of acellular sciatic nerve scaffold and it’s mechanical and histological properties for use in peripheral nerve regeneration

Background: Tissue engineering is a developing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field involving the use of bioartificial implants for tissue remodeling with the target for repair and enhancing tissue or organ function. Acellular nerve has been used in experimental models as a peripheral nerve substitute. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mechanical and histological cha...

3D-engineering of Cellularized Conduits for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Tissue engineered conduits have great promise for bridging peripheral nerve defects by providing physical guiding and biological cues. A flexible method for integrating support cells into a conduit with desired architectures is wanted. Here, a 3D-printing technology is adopted to prepare a bio-conduit with designer structures for peripheral nerve regeneration. This bio-conduit is consisted of a...

Permeable guidance channels containing microfilament scaffolds enhance axon growth and maturation.

Successful peripheral nerve regeneration is still limited in artificial conduits, especially for long lesion gaps. In this study, porous poly(L-lactide-co-DL-lactide, 75:25) (PLA) conduits were manufactured with 16 poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) microfilaments aligned inside the lumen. Fourteen and 18 mm lesion gaps were created in a rat sciatic nerve lesion model. To evaluate the combined effect of pe...
