Abstract
PURPOSE Mesenchymal stem cells/medicinal signaling cells (MSCs) possess therapeutic potential and are used in regenerative orthopaedics. The infra-patellar fat pad (IFP) is partially resected during knee arthroscopy (KASC) and contains MSCs. Heat, irrigation, and mechanical stress during KASC may decrease MSC's therapeutic potential. This study assessed MSCs' regenerative potential after arthroscopic IFP harvest and potential effects of two blood products (BP) (platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyperacute serum (HAS)) on MSCs' viability and chondrogenic differentiation capacity. METHODS IFP was arthroscopically harvested, isolated, and counted (n = 5). Flow cytometry was used to assess cell viability via staining with annexin V/7-AAD and stemness markers via staining for CD90, CD73, and CD105. MSCs were incubated with blood products, and metabolic activity was determined via an XTT assay. Deposition of cartilage extracellular matrix was determined in histologic sections of chondrogenically differentiated 3D pellet cultures via staining with Alcian Blue. Expression of cartilage-specific genes (SOX9, MMP3/13, ACAN, COL1/2) was analyzed via quantitative PCR. RESULTS MSC isolation from IFP yielded 2.66*106 ± 1.49*106 viable cells from 2.7 (0.748) g of tissue. MSC markers (CD 90/105/73) were successfully detected and annexin V staining showed 81.5% viable cells. XTT showed increased metabolic activity. Within the BP groups, this increase was significant (days 0-14, p < 0.05). PCR showed expression of cartilage-specific genes in each group. COL2 (p < 0.01) as well as ACAN (p < 0.001) expression levels were significantly higher in the HAS group. Histology showed successful differentiation. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic harvest of IFP-MSCs yields sufficient cells with maintained regenerative potential and viability. Blood products further enhance MSCs' viability.

Assessing Adipocyte Viability and Surgeons' Work Efficiency by Comparing Different Liposuction Methods. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2023; 11:e5190. [PMID: 37588478 PMCID: PMC10427077 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
Background Autologous fat grafting is widely used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Liposuction methods play a key role in surgeons' work efficiency, adipocyte viability, graft survival, and outcomes. We investigated the effect of four liposuction methods on adipocyte viability, debris, and surgeons' work efficiency by measuring the active energy expenditure and changes in heart rate. Methods Human lipoaspirate was harvested from patients' removed abdominal flaps using four different liposuction methods, and we counted calories per aspirated volume and surgeons' heart rate. Adipocytes were separated from the lipoaspirate immediately by digestion with 0.1% type I collagenase. After digestion, parts of the cells and debris were measured. Adipocytes were plated in an adipocyte maintenance medium containing Alamar blue reagent. The adipocyte metabolic activity was measured using a spectrophotometer. Results After evaluating the active energy expenditure and changes in surgeons' heart rate, the ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) method was determined to be the most ergonomic liposuction device for surgeons. In addition, adipocyte viability was higher in the UAL group than in the other groups, and debris was the lowest in the power-assisted liposuction 1 group (PAL1). Conclusions Adipocyte viability is crucial for improving fat grafting outcomes. This study revealed that the viability of adipocytes is best preserved using the UAL and PAL1 liposuction methods. The UAL and PAL1 methods caused the least damage to the cells. The UAL method yielded the best results for surgeons' work efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat transplantation has been used for breast nearly 40 years, but there are two main problems: the volume retention rate is unpredictable, leading to too many operations, and various complications, such as nodules, necrosis and calcification, occur. OBJECTIVE The author proposed "function-preserving fat grafting" (FPFG) and reviewed the clinical data of patients from October 2002 to December 2020. METHODS A total of 1218 patients underwent surgery, and 767 patients were followed up for more than half a year. Their ages ranged from 22 to 61 (31.9±10.1) years, and the BMI values ranged from 16.1 to 28.2 (20.6±2.73) kg/m2. Group I included 703 cases of breast aesthetic augmentation, group II included 38 cases of breast reconstruction after mastectomy (10 cases after radiotherapy and 7 cases after the Brava device was worn) and group III included 26 cases of simultaneous implant exchange with fat. RESULTS At 6 months after the operation, 89.8% of the patients were satisfied with the outcome. For these patients, aesthetic augmentation required 1.9±0.73 procedures, and the unilateral breast injection volume was 180-380 ml (265.5±46.6); breast reconstruction required an average of 3.4±0.71 procedures, and the unilateral injection volume was 140-370 ml (233.9±67.7). The simultaneous implant exchange volume with fat was 160-320 ml (241.3±35.8 ml). There were 9 cases (1.2%) of palpable nodules, 3 cases of infection (0.39%), and no other severe complications. CONCLUSIONS FPFG has the advantages of requiring few operations; leading to few necrosis, oil cysts and nodules; and leading to high postoperative satisfaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the efficacy of locally delivered apocynin on fat graft survival in an experimental autologous fat grafting (AFG) model created in rats. METHODS Twenty-one Wistar albino male rats were included in this study. The 0.647 g mean weight grafts were harvested from the inguinal region and transferred to the nape of every rat. The subjects were randomly separated into three groups. Saline, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and apocynin, a dose of 20 mg/kg, solutions were applied once a day for 2 weeks. After 3 months, the rats were sacrificed. The evaluation of physical measurements (weight and volume) and survival rates of the grafts for volume (SRV) and weight (SRW), the viable cell count (VC) with the MTT assay, and histopathological parameters were done. RESULTS All biophysical parameters were found to be significantly higher in the apocynin group compared to other groups (p < .05). In the MTT test, the saline group was normalized to 100%. According to this, DMSO and apocynin groups' means were 106% and 163%, respectively. The VC was significantly higher in the apocynin group than the other groups (p < .05). The VC was significantly higher in the DMSO group than in the saline group (p < .05). No significant difference was found in other comparisons performed according to biophysical and histopathological parameters (p > .05). CONCLUSION The locally delivered apocynin decreases fat graft volume loss in an experimental AFG model. Consequently, apocynin can be used as an effective substance to increase graft survival.

Deferoxamine Protects Stromal/Stem Cells of "Lull pgm System"-Processed Lipoaspirates Against Damages Induced by Mitochondrial Respiration Inhibition. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2020; 44:168-176. [PMID: 31741067 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-019-01544-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 11/03/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The ischemic environment of the receiving area compromises the outcome of autologous fat grafts. The aim of this study was to isolate and expand the stromal vascular fraction from patient lipoaspirates and investigate the gain in cell viability exerted by some protective agents against the blockage of mitochondrial respiration. METHODS The aspirates were (1) washed, using the "Lull pgm system," (2) centrifuged and (3) decanted. The corresponding stromal vascular fractions were isolated, and after cell adherence selection, the stromal/stem cell subpopulations were exposed to Antimycin A for 1 h. Then, the protection induced by cell pretreatment with deferoxamine, diazoxide and IGF-1 was evaluated. RESULTS The residual cell viability of the "Lull pgm system"-washed samples was greater than that of the centrifuged samples (p < 0.05), and this advantage was maintained during the following 12 days of culture. The administration of 400 μM deferoxamine before Antimycin A treatment increased the number of viable cells from 56.5 to 80.8% (p < 0.05). On the contrary, the pretreatment with 250 μM diazoxide or 0.1 μg/ml IGF-1 did not exert any significant pro-survival action. Echinomycin abolished the positive effect of deferoxamine, suggesting that its protection involved HIF-1α. CONCLUSIONS Adipose-derived stromal-stem cells survive the inhibition of mitochondrial respiration better if the lipoaspirate is washed using the "Lull pgm system" rather than centrifuged. Moreover, a significant contribution to cell survival can be obtained by preconditioning stromal-stem cells with deferoxamine. In a clinical perspective, this drug could be safely administered before surgery to patients undergoing autologous fat transfer.
