diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. we present our preliminary experience in kamc in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. this is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. all our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. twelve were wrapped with tempora...

Background: Sharks get cancer rarely. A major difference between these animals and other species is that sharks have a great amount of cartilaginous tissue. Immunomodulatory effects of the cartilage of some species (cow) have been proved. Because the immune system has a major role in the defense of the body against cancer, we studied the effects of shark cartilage on the mouse and human immune...

background: previous studies have shown that galectin-3, a member of lectin family, is expressed in developing cartilage in mouse embryo and also in growth plate of long bones.   objective: in the present work, the expression pattern of galectin-3 in normal and various grades of osteoarthritic (oa) human articular cartilage has been studied.   methods: using immunohistochemistry and standard we...

Background: This work aimed to show and compare the degradation time of some of cartilage extracellular matrix components using an in vitro model for cartilage degradation induced by interleukin-1 alpha. It is known that elucidation of molecular events under Interleukin-1 alpha induction of bovine nasal cartilage could obtain useful data to understand more about involving mechanisms for tissue ...

A 17-year-old man was injured in a motorcycle accident, leading to a complex cerebral contusion and hepatic injury. Approximately one month after being discharged from the hospital, the patient experienced gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion. Chest computed tomography revealed severe upper tracheal stenosis; thus, emergency tracheotomy and subsequent tracheoplasty were performed. Microsco...

Posters (MRI). The transplanted cells were retrieved three months later. Histological assessment and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels of reconstructed tissue were assessed. The experimental animal protocols were approved by the Animal Welfare and Animal Care Committee of the National Institute of Biomedi-cal Innovation (Osaka, Japan) (approval ID: DS25-32). Results: Remarkable formation change wa...

IMPORTANCE In rhinoplasty, techniques used to alter the shape of the nasal tip often compromise the structural stability of the cartilage framework in the nose. Determining the minimum threshold level of cartilage stiffness required to maintain long-term structural stability is a critical aspect in performing these surgical maneuvers. OBJECTIVE To quantify the minimum threshold mechanical sta...
