AIM A good skin graft histopathology is followed by formation of hair follicle, sweat gland, sebaceous gland, blood vessel, lightly dense connective tissue, epidermis, and dermis layer. This research aimed to observe histopathology feature and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 expression on cat skin post skin grafting within a different period of time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine male Indonesian local cats ...

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, ...

BACKGROUND: Teat lacerations are serious injuries thatendanger the survival of a cow within the herd. In excessivelacerations, the wound should be left to heal by second intentionhealing process. However, tissue contraction during healing canchange the alignment of the teat, creating problems for machinemilking. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the present study was toevaluate the transplantation of ...

A 12-year-old child presented to us with an avulsion injury left lower limb 6 hours following road traffic accident. On examination, the patient had avulsion of skin from the anterolateral surface of the thigh and circumferential skin avulsion extending from knee joint to the foot (figure 1). The non-viable avulsed skin was debrided till the fresh bleeding edges were obtained. The avulsed skin ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8 week period of aerobic interval training and massage therapy on changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) level and cardiorespiratory fitness in cardiovascular patients after coronary artery bypass graft. The study population consisted of patients who had undergone a coronary artery bypass graft and at least one month had passed since t...

Background: Skin flap grafting is a popular approach for reconstruction of critical skin and underlying soft tissue injuries. In a previous study, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of two 5α-reductase inhibitors, azelaic acid and finasteride, on tissue survival in a rat model of skin flap grafting. In the current study, we investigated the involvement of nitric oxide and inducible nitric o...

We retrospectively reviewed 104 biopsy specimens of previously untreated skin acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) within 100 days after allogeneic stem cell transplantation, and analyzed the relationship between types of infiltrating cells and clinical outcomes. Counting the total number of CD8(+) T cells, CD163(+) macrophages, and CD1a(+) dendritic cells in 4 fields under original magnifica...

o. There are two different cryopreservation protocols used in skin preservation: slow freezing and quick freezing/snap frozen. Slow freezing can be achieved using a controlled-rate cooling apparatus (Blondet et al., 1982). There is an optimum cooling rate for any cell type that produces maximum cell survival. On either side of this optimum, the survival rate falls. In the presence of CPA, a coo...
