【Abstract】 Objective To introduce the cl inical appl ication of heterogeneity (cattle) acellular dermal matrix(ADM)in the repair of mucosa defect otolaryngology. Methods From October 2006 to March 2007, 12 cases of mucosa defect was repaired with heterogeneity ADM after the surgery. There were 10 males and 2 females, aged 18-76 years. Defect was caused by deflection of nasal septum in 1 case, melanoma of front and midst basal is (capillary hemangioma) in 1 case, nasal vestibule angioma (T2N2M0)in 1 case, cancer of hypopharynx (T2N1M0) in 1 case, cancer of amygdale in 3 cases (2 of T2N0M0 and 1 of T3N1M0),cervical segments esophageal carcinoma in 1 case, and cancer of larynx in 4 cases (3 of T2N0M0 and 1 of T3N1M0). Results All these 12 cases were followed up for 6 months. The results of endoscope showed that heterogeneity ADM mingled with mucosa within 3 months after operation and the function was recovered. Pharynx fistula occurred in 1 case of hypopharynx cancer afterthe operation. After treatment of dressing change and antibiotics for 10 days, the wound healed, but after 2 months tumor recurred. All the patients were treated by radiation treatment. One case of amygdala cancer recurred and transferred to the neck after 2 months of radiation treatment. But 1 case of hypopharynx cancer died of massive haemorrhage after radiation treatment for 3 months. Conclusion Heterogeneity ADM can be easily obtained and it is a new method to repair mucosa defect. Theoperative procedure is easy to perform and worthwhile to be appl ied to cl inical operation.
ObjectiveTo study the preparation method of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for cartilage tissue engineering and analyze its biocompatibility. MethodsThe dermal tissues of the calf back were harvested, and decelluarized with 0.5% SDS, and the ADM was reconstructed with 0.5% trypsin, cross-linked with formaldehyde, and modified with 0.5% chondroitin sulfate which can promote the proliferation of chondrocytes. And the porosity, cytotoxicity, and biocompatibility were determined. Co-cultured 2nd passage chondrocytes and bone marrow stromal cells in a proportion of 3 to 7 were used as seed cells. The cells were seeded on ADM (experimental group) for 48 hours to observe the cell adhesion. The expressions of mRNA and protein of collagen type Ⅱ were tested by RT-PCR and Western blot methods, respectively. And the expressions were compared between the cells seeded on the scaffold and cultured in monolayer (control group). ResultsAfter modification of 0.5% trypsin, the surface of ADM was smooth and had uniform pores; the porosity (85.4%±2.8%) was significantly higher than that without modification (72.8%±5.8%) (t=-4.384, P=0.005). The cell toxicity was grade 1, which accords to the requirements for cartilage tissue engineering scaffolds. With time passing, the number of inflammatory cells decreased after implanted in the back of the rats (P<0.05). The scanning electron microscope observation showed that lots of seed cells adhered to the scaffold, the cells were well stacked, displaying surface microvilli and secretion. The expressions of mRNA and protein of collagen type Ⅱ were not significantly different between experimental and control groups (t=1.265, P=0.235;t=0.935, P=0.372). ConclusionThe ADM prepared by acellular treatment, reconstruction, cross-linking, and modification shows perfect characters. And the seed cells maintain chondrogenic phenotype on the scaffold. So it is a proper choice for cartilage tissue engineering.
Objective To explore the shortterm clinical effects of complex transplantation among the acellular dermal matrix(ADM) of heterogenic or heterocatal and autogenic split on the burnt wound as to find out a permanent substitution for the treatment on full skin thickness defect without scar. Methods Two kinds of ADM were used on the 18 patients with full thicknessburn wound through complex transplantation with autogenic splits. The patients with medialthickness autograft was used as control group. Survival rate was obtained 2 weeks after operation; contraction rate and the scores of Vancouver burn scale were obtained 8 weeks after operation. Results No significant difference was observed in survival rate among the three groups 2 weeks after operation(P＞0.05); no significant difference was observed in contraction rate of autografts and scores of Vancouver burn scale among the three groups 8 weeks after operation(P＞0.05). Conclusion ADM of heterogenic and ADM of heterocatal have similar effect on the reconstruction of skin, so the piglet ADM made in this way could be used as a substitution.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and subepithelial connective tissue flap (sCTG) on patients with gingival recession (GR).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy of ADM and sCTG on patients with GR from inception to August 11st, 2019. Two reviewers indepeudently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 12.1 software.ResultsA total of 9 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there were no significant differences in probing depth (PD) (MD3m=−0.04, 95%CI −0.18 to 0.11, P=0.63; MD6m=−0.01, 95%CI −0.13 to 0.12, P=0.90) and GR degree (MD3m=−0.10, 95%CI −0.37 to 0.18, P=0.48; MD6m=−0.02, 95%CI −0.33 to 0.29, P=0.89) in 3 and 6 months after operative between two groups. But the clinical attachment loss (CAL) in 3 months after operation (MD=0.33, 95%CI 0.00 to 0.66, P=0.05) and width of keratinized tissue (KTW) in 6 months after operation (MD=−0.48, 95%CI −0.76 to −0.20, P=0.000 7) of sCTG group were superior to ADM group, the differences were statistically significant.ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that there are no differences in PD and GR degree in 3 months and 6 months after operation between ADM and sCTG group. But the CAL in 3 months after operation and KTW in 6 months after operation of sCTG group is superior to ADM group. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify above conclusion.
Objective To explore the expression of the vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) in the acellular dermal matrix grafting in pigs. Methods Experimental models were established with 15 Inbred Strain mini pigs, 6 full-thichness skin defect wounds, 6 cm × 6 cm in size, were produced on both-side backs of the each pig, and then the pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups. In Group A (n=5, control) the thin auto-skintransplantation alone was made; in Group B (n=5), the grafting was performed in the acellular allo-dermal matrix combined with the thin auto-skins; in Group C (n=5), the grafting was performed in the acellular xeno-dermal matrixcombined with the thin auto-skins. The areas of the wounds were measured and the survival condition of the grafted skins was observed at 3, 9, 21 and 30 days after the grafting. The histological samples were harvested from the grafting area at 3, 6, 9, 12, 21 and 30 days after the procedure. The flow cytometry was employed to analyze the changes in the VCAM1 level in the sample at different time points after the grafting. Results In the 3 groups, the transplanted skin base was easily separated at 3 days after transplantation; the areas of the wound healing accounted for 94%±12%，92%±9%, and 91%±11%, respectively, at 21 days; good wound healing was achieved at 30 days. At 9 and 12 days after transplantation, there was an evidentlyincreased level of the VCAM-1 expression in the tissue samples in the composite skin grafting groups. Compared with the control group, the difference was significant (Plt;0.05); however, the VCAM-1 expression at 3 days was not statistically different between the composite skin grafting groups and the control group after transplantation. In contrast, the level of the VCAM-1 expression was significantly higher at 6 days in the control group than in the composite skin grafting groups (Plt;0.05). The levels of the VCAM-1 expression were significantly lower at 30 days than at 3 days after transplantation in all the 3 groups (plt;0.01). Conclusion The highest level of the VCAM-1 expression can be delayed in the composite skin grafting when compared with that in the thin auto-skins alone, which implies that the VCAM-1 expression may be correlated with angiogenesis and composite skin survival. The VCAM-1 expression is not different between the acellular allo-dermal matrix composite skin grafting groups and the acellular xeno-dermal matrix group.
ObjectiveTo understand the application of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in implant-based breast reconstruction. MethodLiteratures on application of ADM in the implant-based breast reconstruction were reviewed. ResultsADM was widely used in the implant-based breast reconstruction and revisionary breast surgery. ADM could help to achieve a better reconstruction outcome by precisely locating the inferior mammary fold and strengthening the local control of the implant. However, whether ADM might increase the postoperative complications was controversial. ConclusionADM assisted implant-based breast reconstruction could achieve a better cosmetic outcome, but the large sample randomized controlled trial is needed to evaluate the application effect and risk of ADM.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in preventing Frey syndrome.Methods Studies of acellular dermal matrix in preventing Frey syndrome were searched in The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2010), MEDLINE, EMbase, SIGLE, GreyNet, NTIS, CBMdisc, VIP, CNKI and WANFANG DATA from 1995 to 2010. All the studies were selected, extracted and evaluated by four reviewers independently, and meta-analyses were performed with RevMan 5.0.0 software. Results A total of 15 studies involving 472 participants were included in the review. The studies showed that implantation of the ADM was able to efficiently reduce the incidence of Frey syndrome, and the difference in both subjective and objective was significant between the two groups after the therapy (RR=0.11, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.18, Plt;0.01; RR=0.14, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.19, Plt;0.01). The rate of temporary facial nerve paralysis was lower than that of the control group but the difference was not significant (OR=0.78, 95%CI 0.37 to 1.66, P=0.53). The incidens of both seroma and mucocele were higher than that of the control group but the difference was not significant(OR=2.63, 95%CI 0.09 to 79.25, P=0.58) and they could be alleviated by placing drainage tube and partial pressure bandage. The incidence rate of salivary fistula was lower than that of the control group and the difference was significant (OR=0.24, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.69, P=0.009). Conclusion The result of this system review shows that, the ADM can effectively and safely reduce the incidence of Frey syndrome. To perform preoperative hypersensitivity check for iodine or iodophors, to conduct rapid frozen section for defining the character of tumor, to fix the ADM stably, to place vacuum-drainage and to make partial pressure bandage are suggested.
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of composite grafts of acellular dermal matrix (ADM)and autologous spl it-thickness skin in repairing deep burn wounds. Methods Between June 2002 and December 2008, 30 patients (42 wound) were treated. There were 25 males and 5 females, aged 3-52 years with a median age of 31 years. Of them, 24 burned patients had 35 wounds, including 23 deep second degree and 12 third degree wounds with a mean disease duration of 24 days (range, 3-45 days); 6 patients with hyperplastic scar had 7 wounds with a mean disease duration of 16 days (range, 9-21 days). The wound locations were neck (2 wound), hand (4 wounds), forearm and elbow (8 wounds), shoulder (3 wounds), poples (6 wounds), laps (4 wounds), ankle and legs (15 wounds), and the area of wounds ranged from 10 cm × 10 cm to 30 cm × 20 cm. After thorough debridement, tangential excision, and scar excision, ADM and autologous spl it-thickness skin graft were used to repair the wounds by one-step method. Results After operation, composite skin graft survived completely in 39 wounds of 27 patients, with a survival rate of 92.9%; partial necrosis occurred in 3 wounds of 3 patients (7.1%), and healed after dressing change and secondary skin graft. The patients were followed up 30-34 months (mean, 32 months) postoperatively. The appearance of the composite grafts were smooth and soft with good elasticity and low pigmentation. The activity and function of limbs recovered well. No scar hyperplasia was observed at the donor sites. Conclusion It can achieve good outcomes in appearance and function to use ADM and autologous spl it-thickness skin graft for repairing deep burn wounds in functional regions.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) with autologous buccal micro mucosa and micro skin graft in vaginoplasty. MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 67 patients with vaginal agenesis treated between July 2006 and June 2013. ADM and mixed particles were used in 20 cases (ADM group) and mixed particles graft in 47 cases (control group) in vaginoplasty. There was no significant difference in age between 2 groups (t=0.233, P=0.816). The depth, diameter, and volume of neovagina, epithelization time, stent needing time, and female sexual function index (FSFI) score were compared between 2 groups. ResultsThere was no significant difference in operation time and amount of bleeding between 2 groups (t=-1.922, P=0.059; t=0.398, P=0.692). The patients were followed up 11-38 months (mean, 16.08 months). Fifteen cases in ADM group and 29 cases in control group had sexual life after operation. Bleeding after operation occurred in 6 cases (2 in ADM group and 4 in control group). No stenosis was observed. Difference in epithelization time was not statistically significant (t=-1.938, P=0.057). However, the stent needing time of ADM group was significantly shorter than that of control group (t=7.020, P=0.000). The neovagina was ideal in wetness degree, smoothness, flexibility, and hairlessness during follow-up. The depth, diameter, and volume of vagina had no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05) at last follow-up, which were close to normal vagina. The other patients had normal sexual function except 1 patient whose FSFI score was less than 23; no statistically significant difference was found in FSFI score between 2 groups (P>0.05). ConclusionOn the basis of mixed particles grafting, the ADM could improve trestle structure for resisting contracture. The effectiveness is better than merely mixed particles graft. The procedure has satisfactory anatomical and functional results.
