A 30 year old female with absolute glaucoma status post-evisceration developed recurrent orbital implant exposure and scleral melting. We successfully treated the large conjunctiva defect by utilizing secondary implant of dermis fat graft for tissue growth and tension-free conjunctiva closure. The patient was satisfied with the postoperative outcome, and no major complications were observed in ...

Introduction: Dorsal nasal irregularity is a complication of rhinoplasty surgery, mostly seen in patients with thin skin. Acellular dermis (CenoDerm) and homologous fascia lata covering the nasal bone cartilage structure have been used to achieve a smooth surface. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes using these two materials. Materials and Methods: After a standard rhinopla...

Background: With aging, the facial folds, grooves, and sagging tissue become more prominent. It is haracterized by loss of the collagen mass in the dermis and an increased array of elastin whirls in the deeper dermis. The aim of this study was to determine whether correction of nasolabial folds could be achieved using an allogeneic collagen product. Methods: Nine healthy volunteers participated...

Hair follicle formation depends on reciprocal epidermal-dermal interactions and occurs during skin development, but not in adult life. This suggests that the properties of dermal fibroblasts change during postnatal development. To examine this, we used a PdgfraEGFP mouse line to isolate GFP-positive fibroblasts from neonatal skin, adult telogen and anagen skin and adult skin in which ectopic ha...

PURPOSE To report a new technique in the repair of lower eyelid malposition using dermis fat as a posterior lamellar spacer graft. DESIGN Retrospective, consecutive, nonrandomized interventional case series. PARTICIPANTS Eleven patients who underwent surgical correction for symptomatic lower eyelid malposition using dermis fat as a spacer graft. METHODS Patients with symptomatic lower eye...

The percutaneous penetration of flurbiprofen delivered by iontophoresis was investigated in the hairless rat. Unbound concentrations of flurbiprofen in dermis and subcutaneous tissue were continuously measured by on-line microdialysis. Simultaneously, a conventional blood sampling was performed. Linear microdialysis probes were implanted in dermis and in subcutaneous tissue at a depth of 398.3 ...

1 According to the treatment of open fracture, the resurfacing of bone-exposing complex 2 wounds of Gustilo-Anderson III B and C fracture remains challenging. To treat 3 bone-exposing wounds, artificial dermis has been effective. We evaluated the 4 outcome of adapting artificial dermis the resurfacing bone-exposing complex wounds 5 of Gustilo-Anderson III B and C fracture clinically. Seven pati...

Turner syndrome is associated with subcutaneous accumulation of fluid in the neck region that can be visualized sonographically from 10-14 weeks of gestation as massively increased nuchal translucency thickness. Possible mechanisms for this increased translucency include dilatation of the jugular lymphatic sacs because of developmental delay in the connection with the venous system, or a primar...

The kinetics of collagen reprecipitation from solutions of salt-extracted calf dermis in the presence of small amounts of mucopolysaccharide and nucleic acids (0.005 per cent in the final reaction mixture) has been reported by Wood (1960). The present paper is a parallel study using the same materials, and describes the electron microscopic (EM) morphology of the collagen precipitates replicate...
