    Collagen-based biomaterials can be used as ideal biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration and repair due to their good biological activity and biocompatibility. However, due to the weak macroscopic mechanical properties of collagen, which cannot meet the mechanical requirements of natural cartilage and bone tissue, the mechanical properties are often improved by cross-linking modification. In addition, different material forms require different forming technologies. In this paper, the cross-linking methods and forming technologies of collagen-based biomaterials were reviewed, and the construction of collagen scaffolds and the selection of implanted cells for bone and cartilage regeneration and repair in recent years were summarized, aiming to provide clues and ideas for the development of collagen-based biomaterials preparation technology and the transformation of clinical applications.

    therapeutic principles and efficacy of this method in treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods Patients underwent the
    lymphatic/lymph node-venous shunt surgery in the cervical Ⅱ/Ⅲ region. Cognitive assessments, including the MMSE,MoCA, and NPI, were conducted before and one month after surgery to evaluate symptom improvement. PET-CT was used to
    quantitatively analyze changes in intracranial Aβ protein levels. Color Doppler ultrasound was employed to measure the patency of the internal jugular vein and detect wall-adherent thrombus formation. Postoperative follow-up within one month included monitoring wound healing, hematoma or fluid accumulation, lymphatic leakage, postoperative delirium,headaches, and other discomforts. Results This study included 7 AD patients (3 males and 4 females) with an average age of 65(57-71) years. All patients had AD with dementia. Compared to preoperative scores, one month postoperatively, MMSE improved by 0(-2,1) points (P=0.581), MoCA improved by 0(-1,1) points (P=1.000), NPI (frequency× severity) improved by 9(9,20) points (P=0.043), and NPI caregiver distress improved by 2(2,6) points (P=0.026). Color Doppler ultrasound indicated patent internal jugular venous flow without wall-adherent thrombus. No adverse reactions were observed. Three patients underwent PET-CT one month postoperatively, showing an average reduction of 12.3% in whole-brain Aβ protein levels. Conclusion The proposed lymphatic/lymph node-venous shunt surgery in the cervical Ⅱ/Ⅲ region can divert the extracranial segment of intracranial lymphatic drainage, promote the clearance of pathological proteins, reduce intracranial Aβ protein levels, and improve clinical symptoms. This procedure may become a viable treatment option for AD, advancing the development of surgical interventions for AD.

    Objective To analyze the expression of Toll like receptor 4(TLR4) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) in scar cancer tissues, and to investigate the effect of TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 on scar cancer cells. Methods 20 cases of normal skin tissue, 20 cases of hypertrophic scar tissue, and 20 cases of scar cancer tissue were collected. Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of TLR4 and NF-κB protein and mRNA. The relationship between the expression of TLR4, NF-κB and clinical pathological factors such as patient gender, age, and tumor differentiation degree was analyzed. Scar cancer cells were cultured in vitro and treated with TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242. Cell proliferation activity was detected by MTT assay, and the expression of TLR4, NF- κB, MMP9, and TGF-β1 proteins was detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of TLR4, NF-κB protein and mRNA in scar tissue and scar cancer tissue was significantly increased(P< 0.05); Compared with scar tissue, the expression of TLR4, NF-κB protein and mRNA in scar cancer tissue was significantly increased (P<0.05). The expression of TLR4 and NF- κB in scar cancer tissue was related to the degree of tumor differentiation (P<0.05). After intervention with TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242, the proliferation activity of scar cancer cells was  significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the protein expression of TLR4, NF- κB, MMP9, and TGF-β1 was downregulated (P< 0.05). Conclusion The TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the pathological process of scar tissue carcinogenesis, and the TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 can inhibit scar cancer proliferation, which is expected to become a new target for scar tissue treatment.

    Wound healing is a complex physiological process, which can be divided into four main stages: Hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and migration, and tissue remodeling. At the same time, granulation formation, inflammatory cell infiltration, necrotic tissue cleaning, scar remodeling and other reactions are involved. In some pathological cases, the natural healing process of the wound may be stalled, resulting in repeated attacks and even death from shock. In recent years, the search for high safety and high efficiency medical materials has attracted much attention from researchers. Among them, cerium oxide nanoparticles are a unique material which can promote wound healing and play an important role in all stages of wound healing. Nano-cerium oxide particles not only have antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory functions, but also can be used as drug carriers in wound repair to ensure the benign absorption of the body, and can be used as tissue scaffolds to promote the development and maturity of new structures. Therefore, exploring the role of cerium oxide nanoparticles in wound healing may be a new strategy for wound repair. In this paper, the effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles on wound repair were reviewed to provide references for their further application and development in the future.

    Chen Kuo, LV Pengwei
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2024, 20 (5): 522-.  
    Abstract245)      PDF(pc) (14143KB)(14)       Save
    Objective To explore the effectiveness and practicability of robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy and
    immediate breast reconstruction with gel implant and the latissimus dorsi muscle flap (LDMF). Methods A retrospective
    analysis of 14 robot-assisted breast reconstruction with LDMF completed from September 2022 to September 2023 in a single
    medical center was conducted. The cohort was divided into two groups: those with skin islands (n=5) and those without (n=
    9). Variables such as surgical technique, operative duration and perioperative complications were scrutinized. Results The
    study encompassed 14 patients. Among these,8 underwent contralateral breast reconstruction, and one opted out of using a
    gel implant. Average total operative times were (392.1±61.2) minutes for the group with island flap and (351.6±67.4)
    minutes for the group without island flap. And indwelling drains and length of hospital stay were (11.2±0.7) d and (18.4±1.5)d for the group with island flap,(9.0±1.1) d and (11.3±1.1) d for the group without island flap. The findings were
    statistically insignificant due to the limited sample size and the bias between the two groups caused by the inclusion of
    contralateral surgery and axillary surgery. There were no postoperative necrosis and perioperative complications of the nipple
    areolar complex. No recurrence or death occurred during a mean follow-up of (3±1) months. All patients were satisfied with
    the aesthetic results after operation. Conclusion Robot-assisted nipple sparing mastectomy and immediate breast
    reconstruction with gel implant and LDMF is a safe surgical procedure. LDMF without island flap procedure is more
    advantageous in terms of drain retention time and hospitalization time, and has good cosmetic results. However, the technique 
    remains challenging and requires a long learning curve for the surgeon

    Abstract239)      PDF(pc) (6161KB)(418)       Save
    Objective The induced differentiation of adipose stem cells into insulin-secreting cells is a new strategy for the
    treatment of diabetes mellitus. The efficiency of the induced differentiation schemes reported so far varies greatly. This study aims to compare the differentiation efficiency of three induced differentiation schemes. Methods Fat samples from the same batch were
    collected to extract fat stem cells for passage culture, and the third-generation fat stem cells were self-aggregated into balls for
    induction and differentiation in different phases (one-step method, two-step method and three-step method). The expression
    levels of key genes and proteins in the products of the three schemes at the corresponding stages were detected by PCR and
    immunofluorescence, and the function of insulin secreting cells was detected by glucose stimulation of insulin secretion
    experiment. Results Compared with other schemes, the gene expressions of the key transcription factors INS,NKX6.1 and
    PDX1 in the insulin secreting cells induced by the three-step method were significantly increased, and there were significant
    differences. Key protein C-peptide and NKX6.1/PDX1 were co-expressed in insulin-secreting cells. Functionally, the insulin
    secreting cells induced by the three-step method can significantly increase insulin secretion under high glucose stimulation.
    Conclusion Under the same differentiation conditions, the differentiation efficiency of adipose stem cells induced into insulin
    secreting cells by the three-step method is superior to that by the two-step method and the one-step method, which provides a
    basis for establishing an efficient and safe induction differentiation scheme of insulin secreting cells.

    Abstract225)      PDF(pc) (950KB)(681)       Save
    The simultaneous reconstruction of appearance and function following large-area skin defects remains an unresolved challenge in clinical practice. Although skin expansion technology has been widely employed in tissue repair and reconstruction, its development has stagnated, primarily due to low expansion efficiency, high complication rates, and poorly understood mechanisms. To address this issue, an innovative approach utilizing acellular dermal matrix was proposed to assist in skin expansion and achieved promising preliminary clinical results. Acellular dermal matrix provides a “biocompatible” interface, balances mechanical forces, and serves as an active scaffold to support various cell types. However, its specific mechanism of action during the skin expansion process warrants further investigation. By acting as an expansion companion, acellular dermal matrix synergistically enhances skin expansion and holds the potential to break through current expansion limitations, thereby unlocking the full potential of skin expansion technology.

    Abstract199)      PDF(pc) (9192KB)(33)       Save
    Objective To explore the feasibility of SVF-gel fat grafting to sunken upper eyelid combined with
    blepharoplasty to improve upper eyelid laxity and depression in middle-aged and elderly women. Methods In this study,
    214 patients who underwent blepharoplasty and ROOF layer SVF-gel fat filling were retrospectively studied. All patients
    underwent abdominal liposuction and blepharoplasty under local anesthesia, and the SVF-gel was injected into the layers
    between orbicularis oris muscle and periosteum layer of designed grafting area in the form of micro-droplets in ROOF layers
    by using 25g blunt needles, finished by overcorrection of sunken upper eyelid. The laxity of upper eyelid was then corrected
    by blepharoplasty with bridge skill, fully released septum fat and removed the appropriate amount of skin as well as muscle.
    Standard photos were taken before and on the day after surgery,6 months after surgery, and aesthetic evaluation of upper
    eyelid depression, satisfaction score and postoperative effect evaluation were also performed. Postoperative effect evaluation
    included improvement of depression, double eyelid symmetry and complications. Results The 214 patients were all female,
    with an average age of (38.61±10.22) years. The overall follow-up period was 6 to 23 months, and the average follow-up
    period was (12.36±3.132) months. All the patients underwent bilateral blepharoplasty with SVF-gel fat grafting to ROOF 
    layer, the amount of fat grafting ranged from 1.2-2 mL on one side, mean (1.535±0.282) mL on one side. The final overall
    ratio of upper eyelid depression scored 3.569±1.517, while the preoperative ratio scored 1.115±0.502(n=428,P<0.000 1),
    indicating a significant improvement in upper eyelid depression. The GAIS score was 2.384±0.193 (n=214). Only 14
    (6.54%) patients presented with hematomas within 7 days of surgery which resolved completely within two weeks. Eventually
    at six months after surgery,47(21.96%) patients still had insufficient improvement of the upper eyelid depression and
    required secondary fat grafting to achieve a better result, with a reoperation rate of 21.96%. Majority of patients were satisfied
    with the results of the procedure, with an average satisfaction score of (3.974±0.473) out of 5(full mark). Conclusion
    SVF-gel fat grafting to ROOF layer combined with blepharoplasty is safe and effective in improving upper eyelid laxity and
    depression in middle-aged and elderly women. SVF-gel has a good effect in the fine filling of the upper eyelid, and it can be
    further developed with other surgical methods in the future.

    Abstract193)      PDF(pc) (3163KB)(108)       Save
    Objective To investigate the protective effect of Thanaka extract against UVB-induced photoaging damage in skin. Methods HaCaT cells were treated with 0-25 μg/mL Thanaka extract and 30 mJ/cm2UVB. CCK-8 method was used to observe the effect of Thanaka extract and its effect on the viability of HaCaT cells after UVB irradiation. HaCaT cells were treated with low (3 μg/mL), medium (6 μg/mL) and high (12 μg/mL) concentrations of Thanaka extract and 30 mJ/cm2 UVB. DCFH-DA fluorescent probe was used to detect intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content; JC-1 fluorescent probe was used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential; Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were used to detect the levels of antioxidant and oxidative damage. Results The treatment of 0-25 μg/mL of Thanaka extract at all concentrations had no significant effect on cell viability. The viability of HaCaT cells was increased after treatment with 12 μg/mL of Thanaka extract compared with that of the UVB group (P<0.05). Further experiments showed that ROS content decreased (P<0.05), SOD activity increased (P<0.05) in the medium and high concentration of Thanaka extract groups;MDA level decreased (P<0.05) and mitochondrial membrane potential rebounded in the low, medium, and high concentration of Thanaka extract groups compared with the UVB group. Conclusion Thanaka extract can promote the viability and antioxidant level of HaCaT cells after UVB irradiation, and reduce the oxidative stress damage produced by UVB, and its underlying mechanism may be related to mitochondrial function

    Distal arthrogryposis represents a group of congenital malformations with genetic factors, and distal arthrogryposis type 9 is attributed to mutations in the FBN2 gene. Differing from other subtypes where muscular tissues are affected,FBN2 gene mutation primarily impacts the embryonic development of connective tissues, giving rise to distinctive clinical phenotypes. To date, the specific pathogenic mechanisms of this condition remain elusive. In this paper, the recent research progress of distal arthrogryposis type 9 was reviewed, aiming to enhance our understanding of the disease. With the advancement and widespread use of sequencing technologies, the potential discovery of additional mutation loci and patient cohorts holds promise for elucidating genotype-phenotype correlations. Furthermore, there is a pressing need to promote the development of appropriate cellular and animal models to further elucidate its pathogenic mechanisms, offering novel avenues for disease diagnosis and therapeutic interventions.

    bjective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of calendula moisturizing repair spray and facial mask for postoperative care after 1 064 nm dot matrix laser. Methods Thirty-six patients with 1 064 nm facial dot matrix laser were divided into experimental group and control group. The control group received conventional care, and the experimental group received laser postoperative care with calendula moisturizing repair spray and facial mask based on the control group. The trans-epidermal water loss, skin water content, erythema index, light intensity and the occurrence of adverse reactions were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in trans-epidermal water loss between experimental group and control group at each time point after treatment (P>0.05). Immediately after treatment,10 days after treatment and 28 days after treatment, the skin water content of experimental groups was higher than that of control group (P<0.05), and the erythema index of experimental groups was lower than that of control group (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the face of patients of the two groups during the treatment. Conclusion Calendula moisturizing repair spray and facial mask applied to wounds after 1 064 nm fractional laser surgery are safe and effective auxiliary means with good nursing effect.
