P oters CONCLUSION: Previous studies were consistent with our results for both the vertical and horizontal dermal forces. In our study, the tensile strength of the tested human abdominal dermis samples, both aesthetic and post-bariatric, were superior to the tested commercial meshes. Therefore, in some selected cases, abdominal dermis could be an alternative tool in abdominal reconstruction dur...

Skin image segmentation semi-automatic algorithm for highfrequency ultrasound probes with 75 MHz has been designed. The method includes a specific image filtering procedure followed by multiframe active contour algorithm to detect borders between the epidermis and the dermis and between the dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue.

1. Azoproteins are shown to have the property of spreading when introduced intradermally into the rabbit skin. 2. The aromatic derivative selected for the coupling does not affect specifically the spreading property of the azoprotein. Likewise, the type of protein has no importance, except in quantitative respects. 3. The spreading property conferred upon a protein by coupling appears to derive...

The dermis of sea cucumbers is a catch connective tissue or mutable connective tissue that exhibits large changes in mechanical properties. A stiffening protein, tensilin, has been isolated from the sea cucumber Cucumaria frondosa. We purified a similar protein, H-tensilin, from Holothuria leucospilota, which belongs to a different family to C. frondosa. H-tensilin appeared as a single band wit...

Keloids are hypertrophic and proliferating pathological scars extending beyond the initial lesion without any tendency to regression. Usually, keloids consideredand treated as a single entity but clinical observations suggest heterogeneity in keloid morphologies with distinction of extensive nodular entities. Within keloid, could also be detected between superficial deep dermis or center periph...

Dermis that has been chronically exposed to UV shows dramatic decreases of fibers such as collagen and oxytalan. Although a decreased quality mitochondria (MT) in fibroblasts observed photoaged dermis, the involvement mitochondrial dysfunction progression dermis is not fully understood. We previously reported insufficient levels dermal formed by UVA-irradiated are caused due ubiquitin ligase (M...
