We used method of autotransplantation of macrophage cells in the treatment of purulent endobronchitis of different etiology in children. 30 patients (14 boys and 16 girls) at the age from 1 to 9 years old were examined. Bronchological investigation of patients diagnosed one-sided purulent endobronchitis. The positive dynamics of the cytological indexes and clinical symptoms have proved the effe...

CONTEXT Pancreatic injuries caused by blunt trauma are often treated conservatively, except for the highest grades of these. CASE REPORT We report a case of complete transection of the distal pancreas in a young adult which was successfully managed by spleen-preserving laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy followed by an islet autotransplantation in the patient's forearm striated muscle. CONCL...

THE mechanisms responsible for the altered neuromus1. cular activity that results in the impaired motility of small bowel transplant recipients are incompletely understood. Autotransplantation studies in small l or large2 animals have shown that harvesting process, preservation, and reperfusion may impair the function of the enteric nervous system during small bowel transplantation. It is not k...

After first success of epidermal autotransplantation onto a granulating wound in 1869, skin graft become a standard option for closing defect that cannot be closed primarily. [1] Skin graft can be used in various clinical situations. For the reconstruction of traumatic wounds, burn wound, soft tissue defect or skin defect after cancer ablation surgery or after removal of pigmented skin lesion, ...

Re-implantation techniques of extracted parathyroid tissue were developed in order to prevent temporary hypocalcemia. During thyroid surgery; inadvertently removed or devascularized parathyroid gland is usually implanted in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. In this experimental study using rats with hypoparathyroidism, our aim was to investigate whether the excised parathyroid tissue could be see...

Results: Of 179 attempted autotransplantations of parathyroid glands, parathyroid tissue was confirmed in 167 biopsy specimens (93.3%). Incorrect identification of parathyroid gland occurred in 12 instances. The tissue mistaken as parathyroid gland included fat in 6 cases, thyroid tissue in 4 cases, lymph node in 1 case, and thymus in 1 case. Transplantation of at least 1 parathyroid gland (ran...

We must congratulate the journal and the authors for publication of a case report of autotransplantation (Rao J, Fields HW, Chacon GE. Case report: Autotransplantation for a missing permanent maxillary incisor. Pediatr Dent 2008;30:160-6). This is a well established procedure in Europe where premolar transplantation dates back to the 1960s. We find autotransplantation of premolars a very import...

In a series of 15 studies in dogs, sternocleidomastoid muscle was used to replace deficits created in left ventricular myocardium and sternohyoid muscle was used to replace portions of right myocardial wall. The five right ventricular autotransplants resulted in a 100% surgical success rate, with animals electively killed between 3 and 55 weeks after surgery. In 10 left ventricular studies exci...

This case report describes the autotransplantation of maxillary right second premolar into the contralateral position in a 14-year-old female using computerized tomographic data and a customized guiding system produced by computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture technology. Using innovative surgical guides and keys with navigation features, modification of the recipient socket and ha...
