Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the characteristics of a series of oral reactions to injectable soft tissue fillers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cases diagnosed as oral reactions to injectable soft tissue fillers were selected from eight Pathology laboratories. Information was retrieved from the laboratory charts and from the review of the hematoxylin and eosin-stained histological slides. RESULTS The 151 patients showed a mean age of 54.9 years, and 136 (90.1%) were females. Mean time of onset was 20.4 months, and the lips were the most frequent location (72.8%). Most cases presented as asymptomatic isolated nodules, with a mean size of 17.4 mm. Silicone (38.5%), polymethylmetacrylate (33%), and hyaluronic acid (11.9%) were the three most common fillers. Granulomas, foamy macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells were observed in 44%, 51.5%, and 65.3% of the cases, respectively. Time of onset was shorter for males (p = 0.033), and symptoms were common in the upper lip, buccal mucosa, and lower vestibule (p = 0.010). Foamy macrophages were more common in association with silicone and collagen (p < 0.001), whereas multinucleated giant cells were more common in association with polymethylmetacrylate, hydroxiapatite, and polylactic acid (p = 0.012). CONCLUSION Clinicians should consider reactions to injectable soft tissue fillers when evaluating asymptomatic submucosal nodules affecting the lips of adult/older females.

Abstract
Advancements in understanding skin aging mechanisms, which encompass both external and internal aging processes, have spurred the development of innovative treatments primarily aimed at improving cosmetic appearance. These findings offer the potential for the development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at achieving long-term, non-therapy-dependent clinical benefits, including the reversal of aging and the mitigation of associated health conditions. Realizing this goal requires further research to establish the safety and efficacy of targeting aging-related skin changes, such as pigmentation, wrinkling, and collagen loss. Systematic investigation is needed to identify the most effective interventions and determine optimal anti-aging treatment strategies. These reviews highlight the features and possible mechanisms of skin aging, as well as the latest progress and future direction of skin aging research, to provide a theoretical basis for new practical anti-skin aging strategies.

Abstract
Background Biopolymers, which are diverse and permanent synthetic fillers, are nonbiocompatible allogeneic materials. Their implantation can result in clinical, radiological, and histopathological manifestations that contribute to our understanding of foreign-body-induced human adjuvant disease. Methods We conducted a descriptive observational case series involving 20 patients who underwent open biopolymer removal surgery in the buttocks and lumbosacral regions using the Meticulous Approach Safer and Keeper technique, followed by gluteal reconstruction with autologous tissue. Histopathological analysis was performed. This study was conducted in Bogotá, Colombia, from 2020 to 2023. Results Documented clinical records and histopathological analyses of the 20 patients revealed an inflammatory response that was initially considered healthy. Cytoplasmic vacuolization in reactive adipocytes was observed in all cases, meriting consideration in the differential diagnosis of liposarcoma and suggesting local aggressiveness. One patient showed a positive lymphocytic inflammatory response in the Alcian blue test. Hypercalcemia was present in 30% of the patients, elevated lactate dehydrogenase in 40%, and elevated parathyroid hormone levels in 15%. Conclusions Surgeons should consider measuring lactate dehydrogenase, serum calcium, and parathyroid hormone levels to assess the severity and guide clinical practice. Secondary prevention through the open surgical removal of biopolymers is recommended.

Abstract
Assisted reproductive technologies are key to solving the problems of aging and organ defects. Collagen is compatible with living tissues and has many different chemical properties; it has great potential for use in reproductive medicine and the engineering of reproductive tissues. It is a natural substance that has been used a lot in science and medicine. Collagen is a substance that can be obtained from many different animals. It can be made naturally or created using scientific methods. Using pure collagen has some drawbacks regarding its physical and chemical characteristics. Because of this, when collagen is processed in various ways, it can better meet the specific needs as a material for repairing tissues. In simpler terms, collagen can be used to help regenerate bones, cartilage, and skin. It can also be used in cardiovascular repair and other areas. There are different ways to process collagen, such as cross-linking it, making it more structured, adding minerals to it, or using it as a carrier for other substances. All of these methods help advance the field of tissue engineering. This review summarizes and discusses the current progress of collagen-based materials for reproductive medicine.

Abstract
Purpose Porcine-based dermal injectable collagen is effective for nasolabial fold correction. In the present study, a new dermal injectable collagen, incorporating a novel cross-linking technology and premixed with lidocaine, was introduced. The study aimed to determine the efficacy of the new dermal injectable collagen in improving bilateral nasolabial fold wrinkles, and reducing pain during injection. Patients and Methods This prospective, double-blind, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized trial enrolled participants with moderate-to-severe bilateral nasolabial fold wrinkles from February 2019 to March 2021. Participants were randomly assigned to the test group (new dermal injectable collagen with lidocaine featuring a novel cross-linking technology) or control group (traditionally cross-linked dermal injectable collagen with lidocaine). Participants were monitored for adverse events (AEs), and for pain using the Thermometer Pain Scale (TPS) and a visual analog scale (VAS). Efficacy was measured using the Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). Results On the poor or better sides, the 2 groups exhibited a significant decrease in WSRS scores at 4, 12, 24, and 36 weeks after treatment, compared to baseline WSRS scores (all, p < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the test group had a greater decrease in WSRS score (poor or better sides) at 12, 24, 36, and 52 weeks after treatment (all, p < 0.05). A similar observation was also found in the WSRS response rate and GAIS score of the 2 groups. VAS and TPS scores were not significantly different between the 2 groups (p > 0.05), indicating that pain reduction was similar in the 2 groups. All AEs were anticipated AEs associated with facial aesthetic injections, and most recovered within 0 to 30 days without sequelae. There were no differences in AEs between the 2 groups (all, p > 0.05). Conclusion The new dermal injectable collagen with lidocaine exhibited better efficacy for correcting nasolabial fold wrinkles compared to the control group. Both relieved pain and produced only transient and tolerable AEs.

Abstract
With the increasing application of hyaluronic acid injection, the complications are gradually increasing. Fillers are implants, and essentially foreign bodies, and filler injection is a blind procedure in which the physician is unable to see exactly where the material is placed. With these characteristics, injectable fillers have the potential for a myriad of complications. During this case, we found that with the correct diagnosis of filler migration and hypersensitivity reactions and injecting hyaluronidase immediately, good clinical results can be obtained.

Abstract
Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNTA) and filler injection procedures usually provide predicted outcomes with a low incidence of complications. Most of the complications after these procedures have been extensively discussed. In this study, we report on these injectables' less well-known, recently reported, and novel complications and attempt to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Counterfeit or mishandled BoNTA has been associated with botulism. BoNTA has been linked to uncommon complications, including morphea-like lesions, nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, vascular occlusion, and pseudoaneurysm of the superficial temporal artery. Unusual complications from filler injection include nonscarring alopecia, intraoral necrosis, nontuberculous mycobacterial infections, xanthelasma-like reactions, intracranial perforation, and pneumosinus dilatans. Post-BoNTA injection nodules and filler infection from bone destruction due to cocaine use are new complications. These complications pose a challenge for diagnosis and treatment. This publication aims to assist in promptly identifying and managing these rare and novel complications when necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stem cell exosomes are beneficial in accelerating wound repair. However, the therapeutic function is limited due to its rapid clearance in vivo. To improve the functionality of exosomes in cutaneous wound healing, a novel hydrogel was designed and fabricated by recombinant human collagen I and carboxymethyl chitosan loaded with exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), named as the rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel. METHODS Exosomes were extracted from hUCMSCs and were characterizated by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy), and biomarker detection. The rhCol I hydrogel, rhCol I/carboxymethyl chitosan (rhCol I/CMC) hydrogel and the rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel composites were cross-linked by genipin. These materials were assessed and compared for their physical characteristics, including cross-sectional morphology, porosity, pore distribution, and hydrophilicity. Cell biocompatibility on biomaterials was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and CFDA staining, as well as assessed in vivo through histological examination of major organs in mice. Effects of the hydrogel composite on wound healing were further evaluated by using the full-thickness skin defect mice model. RESULTS Successful extraction of hUCMSCs-derived exosomes was confirmed by TEM,Western Blotting and flow cytometry. The synthesized rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel composite exhibited cytocompatibility and promoted cell growth in vitro. The rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel showed sustained release of exosomes. In the mice full skin-defects model, the rhCol I/CMC-Exos-treated group showed superior wound healing efficiency, with 15 % faster wound closure compared to controls. Histological examinations revealed thicker dermis formation and more balanced collagen deposition in wounds treated with rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel. Mechanistically, the application of rhCol I/CMC-Exos hydrogel increased fibroblasts proliferation, alleviated inflammation responses as well as promoted angiogenesis, thereby was beneficial in promoting skin wound healing and regeneration. CONCLUSION Our study, for the first time, introduced recombinant human Collagen I in fabricating a novel hydrogel loaded with hUCMSCs-derived exosomes, which effectively promoted skin wound closure and regeneration, demonstrating a great potential in severe skin wound healing treatment.

Abstract
Background The demand for soft tissue filler injections has experienced a significant increase in recent years. Therefore, this study used bibliometric analysis to identify prominent research areas and emerging trends within the field. Methods Publications concerning research on soft tissue filler injections were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Subsequently, VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software were used to analyze the co-authorship, co-occurrence, and citations of countries, institutions, authors, hotspot keywords, and journals associated with these studies. Results A total of 1370 records pertaining to filler injection research conducted between 2000 and 2022 were identified. The United States (524 publications) emerged as the country with the highest number of publications in this field, with Mayo Clinic (37 publications) making the most substantial contribution. Dermatologic Surgery emerged as the leading journal in this field, publishing the highest number of research articles (151 publications) and also being the most frequently co-cited. Cotofana proved to be the most prolific author with 51 publications, and Lemperle emerged as the most frequently co-cited author with 628 citations (including total link strength: 6587). The most popular keywords, in descending order of popularity, were "dermal filler," "injection," "soft-tissue augmentation," "complications," and "hyaluronic acid." Conclusions The findings of this study offer a comprehensive overview of the main directions in filler injection research. Furthermore, they underscore the imperative of intensifying efforts to prevent complications linked to filler injections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermal facial fillers are increasingly popular. Published reports on the clinical and histopathologic characteristics related to adverse reactions to dermal fillers in the facial region have been relatively well documented. This study adds to the literature on adverse reactions to injected filler in the oral and maxillofacial region in a South American population. METHODS A retrospective, descriptive cross-sectional study (2019-2020) was performed. The study population was a dermatology service in Venezuela. Clinical and histopathologic features of patients with adverse effects were documented. RESULTS A total of 35 cases of adverse reactions associated with cosmetic filler procedures were diagnosed during the analyzed period; of these, six cases (17.1%) involved the oral and maxillofacial region. All cases occurred in women. The mean age at diagnosis was 59.3 years (58-73). In three cases, dermal fillers were used in different locations on the face, while three involved the lips. Five patients exhibited adverse reactions to lip filler. All six cases were histopathologically diagnosed as foreign body reactions to injected material. Four and two cases revealed microscopic features compatible with hyaluronic acid and polymethylmethacrylate, respectively. CONCLUSION Reflecting the dramatic increase in cosmetic procedures with soft tissue fillers, this study contributed by reporting six cases of foreign body reaction involving the oral and maxillofacial region, confirmed with biopsy and histopathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present a case of facial disfigurement from an injectable permanent filler and describe the consequences to patients exposed to the same injector (common source outbreak). METHODS Case report and discussion of a common source outbreak after a group of persons developed complications years after permanent filler given by one injector. RESULTS A 39-year-old transgender model underwent polymethylmethacrylate (Artefill) facial filler injections to the lips, cheeks, and chin in 2018. A year later, the patient presented to the emergency room with severe facial swelling and difficulty breathing. Treatments have included 4 surgeries to remove filler and scar tissue and chronic low-dose oral steroid therapy. Upon questioning the patient, 6 additional people suffered from similar facial swelling years after injection by the same injector. The injector cannot be located. CONCLUSIONS Care must be taken in giving all facial fillers, particularly permanent ones. When one source patient is identified, questioning the patient's knowledge of others affected is critical to help manage an epidemic problem and to report a rogue injector. Physicians have a duty to investigate and report such cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE End-stage ocular diseases usually end up with atrophic bulbi or phthisis bulbi leading to orbital volume loss which needs to be addressed. We studied the use of autologous fat for volume augmentation of the orbit because it is minimally invasive and allows early rehabilitation with the use of an artificial eye. DESIGN It was a prospective, interventional study. METHODS A total of 14 eyes of 14 patients with atrophic bulbi with shrinkage or phthisis bulbi with no perception of light (PL) and aged older than 18 years were included for the study purpose. Painful or inflamed eyes or suspected intraocular tumors were excluded. An autologous fat graft was obtained from the lower abdomen or buttocks and injected into the retrobulbar space using a 20-gauge cannula after adequate peribulbar anesthesia. Outcomes measures were patient satisfaction, change in Hertel's exophthalmometry, vertical and horizontal palpebral aperture, and socket volume. RESULTS Hertel exophthalmometry showed a significant improvement both with and without an artificial eye from 14.92 ± 2.3 mm to 16.71 ± 1.94 mm (p-value 0.003 without an artificial eye). The vertical palpebral aperture also showed a significant improvement from 5 ± 1.70 mm to 6.71 ± 1.58 mm (p-value < 0.001). There was a significant reduction in the socket volume from 1.22 ml to 0.39 ml (p-value < 0.001). No local or donor site complications were seen. CONCLUSIONS Autologous fat transfer is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective procedure for orbital volume augmentation in small, nonseeing eyes. The short-term outcome of our study was good in most patients and can be considered for such patients.

Abstract
Soft tissues diseases significantly affect patients quality of life and usually require targeted, costly and sometimes constant interventions. With the average lifetime increase, a proportional increase of age-related soft tissues diseases has been witnessed. Due to this, the last two decades have seen a tremendous demand for minimally invasive one-step resolutive procedures. Intensive scientific and industrial research has led to the recognition of injectable formulations as a new advantageous approach in the management of complex diseases that are challenging to treat with conventional strategies. Among them, collagen-based products are revealed to be one of the most promising among bioactive biomaterials-based formulations. Collagen is the most abundant structural protein of vertebrate connective tissues and, because of its structural and non-structural role, is one of the most widely used multifunctional biomaterials in the health-related sectors, including medical care and cosmetics. Indeed, collagen-based formulations are historically considered as the "gold standard" and from 1981 have been paving the way for the development of a new generation of fillers. A huge number of collagen-based injectable products have been approved worldwide for clinical use and have routinely been introduced in many clinical settings for both aesthetic and regenerative surgery. In this context, this review article aims to be an update on the clinical outcomes of approved collagen-based injectables for both aesthetic and regenerative medicine of the last 20 years with an in-depth focus on their safety and effectiveness for the treatment of diseases of the integumental, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urogenital apparatus.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Permanent filler (PF) substances are increasingly utilized in aesthetic procedures. Concurrently, complications related to fillers have also risen. This study aims to determine the rate of complications secondary to PF injections and develop a therapeutic approach for treating such complications. METHODS This cohort study was conducted by distributing a checklist form among all patients aged 18 years or older who arrived for a new cosmetic consultation between 2015 and 2019. The primary outcome was the occurrence of complications, which are defined as symptoms induced by the PF. The demographics, type of PF, injection site, the time for the complication to occur, and signs and symptoms were recorded and followed up. RESULTS In this study, 325 out of 503 (64.61%) patients presented with PF-related complications. About 92.8% were women. All patients with PF-related complications presented with a lump (n = 325, 100%). In regard to the anatomical area of injection, the most common areas were the cheeks (66.6%). The time it took for the complication to occur most commonly ranged from 1-5 years (39.2%, P < 0.001). Complications were significantly higher among patients who received the injection in a nonmedical facility (P < 0.0002). Seventy-seven cases (15.3%, P < 0.0001) underwent PF removal. CONCLUSIONS PF-related complications in the body exhibit a wide range of onset and adverse events. The best method to prevent complications caused by permanent filling materials is to avoid them altogether. When it comes to permanent filling agents, we suggest extreme caution.

A cutback in Imiquimod cutaneous toxicity; comparative cutaneous toxicity analysis of Imiquimod nanotransethosomal gel with 5% marketed cream on the BALB/c mice. Sci Rep 2022; 12:14244. [PMID: 35987944 PMCID: PMC9392762 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-18671-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Herein, Imiquimod (IMQ) was incorporated in nanotransethosomes (nTES) to develop the IMQ-nTES nano-drug delivery system. IMQ-nTES was optimized using 23 factorial design. The optimized formulation was expressed with a particle size of 192.4 ± 1.60 nm, Poly-dispersibility of 0.115 ± 0.008, and IMQ percent entrapment efficiency of 91.05 ± 3.22%. Smooth and round morphology of IMQ-nTES vesicles was confirmed by TEM micrographs. Moreover, FTIR results have shown drug-excipient compatibility. The IMQ-nTES was laden inside the low molecular weight chitosan gel, which exhibited easy application, spreadability and no irritation to the applied skin. The release pattern has clearly exhibited improved dissolution properties of IMQ with the provision of the sustain release pattern. Higher IMQ content was deposited in deeper epidermis and dermis with IMQ-nTES gel, in contrast to ALDARA. In vivo, comparative toxicity study on BALB/c mice has shown significantly reduced (p < 0.001) psoriatic area severity index (PASI) score and less increment in ear thickness. Epidermal hyperplasia was an obvious finding with ALDARA which was, providentially, minimal in IMQ-nTES gel-treated skin. FTIR analysis of skin tissue has shown an enhancement of lipid and protein content in the ALDARA group, however, in the IMQ-nTES group no such change was observed. With ALDARA application, CD4+ T-cells and constitutive NF-κβ expression were significantly elevated, in comparison to the IMQ-nTES gel treated group. Moreover, the adequate expression of IFN-γ and cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells were suggesting the preserved IMQ efficacy with IMQ-nTES gel. Quantification of cutaneous as well as systemic inflammatory markers has also suggested the reduced psoriatic potential of IMQ-nTES gel. In essence, IMQ-nTES gel can be a suitable alternative to ALDARA owing to its better safety profile.

Abstract
Resorbable tissue fillers for aesthetic purposes can induce severe complications including product migration, late swelling, and inflammatory reactions. The relation between product characteristics and adverse effects is not well understood. We hypothesized that the degree of cross-linking hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers was associated with the occurrence of adverse effects. Five experimental HA preparations similar to HA fillers were synthesized with an increasing degree of cross-linking. Furthermore, a series of commercial fillers (Perfectha®) was obtained that differ in degradation time based on the size of their particulate HA components. Cytotoxic responses and cytokine production by human THP-1-derived macrophages exposed to extracts of the evaluated resorbable HA fillers were absent to minimal. Gene expression analysis of the HA-exposed macrophages revealed the responses related to cell cycle control and immune reactivity. Our results could not confirm the hypothesis that the level of cross-linking in our experimental HA fillers or the particulate size of commercial HA fillers is related to the induced biological responses. However, the evaluation of cytokine induction and gene expression in macrophages after biomaterial exposure presents promising opportunities for the development of methods to identify cellular processes that may be predictive for biomaterial-induced responses in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for medical aesthetic purposes is increasing worldwide. Nonetheless, adverse events do occur because of patient-specific issues, injection technique, or product factors. It would be mandatory to consider cultural and anatomical features of Asians in preventing and managing the complications of HA injections. METHODS Literature search of studies looking at current evidence and guidelines on the management of complications following HA filler injections in Asian patients was conducted. This was followed by an expert group discussion that was convened to reach consensus recommendations on the best clinical practices. RESULTS The expert panel provided specific recommendations focusing on the safe use of soft tissue fillers in Asian patients, including early identification of adverse events and how to prevent and comprehensively manage these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Here, we provide consensus statements of Asian experts in dermatology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and aesthetic medicine mainly focusing on AEs with higher risk for Asians and can be used to guide physicians in treating Asian population.

Abstract
Background Non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip represent a special chapter of oral and maxillofacial pathology. In this work we report a case-series of this process, to analyse its main clinicopathological features and find differential data that allow us improve its diagnosis and understand its pathogenesis. Methods We present 11 cases of non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip, 8 women and 3 men with an age range of 29–84 years, who have been attended at the Oral Medicine Department of the IUCT (France) and the Oral Medicine Unit of the UPV/EHU (Spain). All clinicopathological data were collected in a specific protocol. Results We recognized 4 different subtypes of non-infectious granulomatous disorders of the upper lip: (1) associated with Crohn’s disease (1 case), (2) associated with foreign body (2 cases), (3) associated with gingivitis lichenoid-like (4 cases), (4) idiopathic (4 cases). Conclusions Clinicopathological differences were identified between these subtypes. A good differential diagnosis is necessary in all cases to rule out the presence of local or systemic etiopathogenic factors.

Evaluating the Biocompatibility of an Injectable Wound Matrix in a Murine Model. Gels 2022; 8:gels8010049. [PMID: 35049584 PMCID: PMC8774422 DOI: 10.3390/gels8010049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Developing a high-quality, injectable biomaterial that is labor-saving, cost-efficient, and patient-ready is highly desirable. Our research group has previously developed a collagen-based injectable scaffold for the treatment of a variety of wounds including wounds with deep and irregular beds. Here, we investigated the biocompatibility of our liquid scaffold in mice and compared the results to a commercially available injectable granular collagen-based product. (2) Methods: Scaffolds were applied in sub-dermal pockets on the dorsum of mice. To examine the interaction between the scaffolds and the host tissue, samples were harvested after 1 and 2 weeks and stained for collagen content using Masson’s Trichrome staining. Immunofluorescence staining and quantification were performed to assess the type and number of cells infiltrating each scaffold. (3) Results: Histological evaluation after 1 and 2 weeks demonstrated early and efficient integration of our liquid scaffold with no evident adverse foreign body reaction. This rapid incorporation was accompanied by significant cellular infiltration of stromal and immune cells into the scaffold when compared to the commercial product (p < 0.01) and the control group (p < 0.05). Contrarily, the commercial scaffold induced a foreign body reaction as it was surrounded by a capsule-like, dense cellular layer during the 2-week period, resulting in delayed integration and hampered cellular infiltration. (4) Conclusion: Results obtained from this study demonstrate the potential use of our liquid scaffold as an advanced injectable wound matrix for the management of skin wounds with complex geometries.

Abstract
This article describes the compositional, mechanical, and structural differences between collagen gels fabricated from different sources and processing methods. Despite extensive use of collagen in the manufacturing of biomaterials and implants, there is little information as to the variation in properties based on collagen source or processing methods. As such, differences in purity and composition may affect gel structure and mechanical performance. Using mass spectrometry, we assessed protein composition of collagen from seven different sources. The mechanics and gelation kinetics of each gel were assessed through oscillatory shear rheology. Scanning electron microscopy enabled visualization of distinct differences in fiber morphology. Mechanics and gelation kinetics differed with source and processing method and were found to correlate with differences in composition. Gels fabricated from telopeptide-containing collagens had higher storage modulus (144 vs. 54 Pa) and faster gelation (251 vs. 734 s) compared to atelocollagens, despite having lower purity (93.4 vs. 99.8%). For telopeptide-containing collagens, as collagen purity increased, storage modulus increased and fiber diameter decreased. As α1/α2 chain ratio increased, fiber diameter increased and gelation slowed. As such, this study provides an examination of the effects of collagen processing on key quality attributes for use of collagen gels in biomedical contexts.

Methoxy polyethylene glycol modification promotes adipogenesis by inducing the production of regulatory T cells in xenogeneic acellular adipose matrix. Mater Today Bio 2021; 12:100161. [PMID: 34870140 PMCID: PMC8626673 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2021.100161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2021] [Revised: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Acellular adipose matrix (AAM) has emerged as an important biomaterial for adipose tissue regeneration. Current decellularization methods damage the bioactive components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), and the residual immunogenic antigens may induce adverse immune responses. Here, we adopted a modified decellularization method which can protect more bioactive components with less immune reaction by methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG). Then, we determined the adipogenic mechanisms of mPEG-modified AAM after xenogeneic transplantation. AAM transplantation caused significantly lesser adipogenesis in the wild-type group than in the immune-deficient group. The mPEG-modified AAM showed significantly lower immunogenicity and higher adipogenesis than the AAM alone after xenogeneic transplantation. Furthermore, mPEG modification increased regulatory T (Treg) cell numbers in the AAM grafts, which in turn enhanced the M2/M1 macrophage ratio by secreting IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-β1. These findings suggest that mPEG modification effectively reduces the immunogenicity of xenogeneic AAM and promotes adipogenesis in the AAM grafts. Hence, mPEG-modified AAM can serve as an ideal biomaterial for xenogeneic adipose tissue engineering.

Abstract
A foreign body granulomatous reaction is a rare complication of the subcutaneous injection of fillers. We describe a 57-year-old female that presented with a six-month history of a non-painful, right lower eyelid mass. She had a dermal filler in the zygomatic region several months before the onset of her symptoms. Anterior orbitotomy and pathology revealed multinuclear giant cells consistent with a hyaluronic acid-based filler. This case describes the clinical presentation, histopathologic features, and treatment of an orbital granuloma secondary to dermal filler injection. Our case was uncommon because the zygomatic filler migrated across the orbital septum. Additionally, transconjunctival orbitotomy was used instead of a hyaluronidase injection due to the inferior location of the granuloma.

Abstract
As an alternative biopolymer material without the risks of the use of animal-derived collagens in soft tissue engineering applications, recombinant human collagen polypeptide (RHC) was used to construct three-dimensional porous scaffolds. RHC and RHC-chitosan (RHC-CHI) porous scaffolds were fabricated using a freeze-drying method to create highly porous internal structures and then cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC). All scaffolds had interconnected porous structures with high porosity (90%), and pore size that ranged from 111 µm to 159 µm. The swelling ability and in vitro degradation of the prepared scaffolds were investigated. The mechanical properties could be tailored to meet the requirements of end-use application by adjusting the concentrations of the polymer or cross-linking agent, and the resulting mechanical strengths were comparable to those of biological soft tissues. The cytocompatibility of the fabricated porous scaffolds was investigated by seeding 3T3 fibroblasts into the porous structures, and then cell proliferation, distribution, morphology, and synthesis of extra cellular matrix-associated proteins were assessed. The results indicated that RHC-based porous scaffolds were non-cytotoxic and promoted the attachment and proliferation of the seeded cells. Finally, the in vivo study proved these porous scaffolds were able to accelerate the cell infiltration and collagen deposition that promoted the wound closure. Overall, the results indicate that RHC-based porous scaffolds show promise for use in soft tissue engineering due to their excellent in vitro cytocompatibility and adjustable mechanical properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonresorbable substances are still injected to enhance soft-tissue volumes and fill subcutaneous defects. The minimally invasive intralesional laser treatment can remove foreign substances and the inflammatory reaction, eventually leaving depression and scar tissue in the treated area. Fat grafting can restore volume loss and improve scar tissue. METHODS From March of 2010 to February of 2017, 33 patients were studied. All of them had suffered from inflammatory reactions to permanent facial fillers and had been treated with the 808-nm diode laser at the authors' institution. The evacuation of material had left facial asymmetry and visible depression. To restore facial aesthetic units, fat grafting was performed. The minimum follow-up was 6 months. RESULTS Volume restoration was recognized (according to the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale) as significantly improved in 22 patients, moderately improved in eight patients, and slightly improved in three patients. Improvement in atrophic and scarred tissues (with an apparent thickening of the skin or even elimination of scars) was also assessed with the following results: 25 patients were very much improved and eight were moderately improved. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study on filler-induced complications of the face treated by intralesional laser treatment followed by lipofilling. A systematic approach to volume restoration is proposed to patients who had filler removal of the face. There was a high degree of patient satisfaction with this technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is widely used in tissue engineering. The natural polymer hyaluronic acid (HA) shows excellent biocompatibility and affects cell signaling, proliferation, and differentiation. In addition, a polynucleotide (PN) induces cell growth of human skin fibroblasts and osteoblasts. OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the properties, safety, and efficacy of a novel composite filler consisting of cross-linked HA with PN in combination with monodisperse PLLA microspheres manufactured using Inventage Lab Precision Particle Fabrication method. MATERIALS AND METHODS The composition of the filler and characteristics of the microspheres were examined via scanning electron microscopy, particle size analysis, gel permeation chromatography, and rheology and osmolality measurement. Additionally, safety and efficacy of HA-PN/PLLA composite filler were conducted in in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Analysis of PLLA microspheres revealed spherical surfaces and a narrower particle size distribution than that in PLLA filler. HA-PN/PLLA composite filler had higher viscosity and elasticity values and similar osmolality as compared to those of HA and PN fillers. The nontoxicity in in vitro and in vivo tests reflected that the composite filler may be safe for human use. In addition, the composite filler maintained a more stable volume than did HA filler for 24 weeks after administration in HWY/Slc hairless rats. Furthermore, the results support the effect of HA-PN/PLLA in restoring skin structure. CONCLUSION Altogether, these data suggest that the novel composite filler might be a safe and effective option in terms of tissue integration, clinical management during delivery and high esthetic durability.

Abstract
AIMS Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel fillers are the most commonly used filler materials for dermal purposes to augment soft tissue due to their superior properties and advantages over other alternative filling materials. One of the key drawbacks associated with the use of fillers is contamination and possible subsequent infection. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study conducted in Renew Cosmetic Clinics and King Abdulaziz University, Faculty of Medicine, female section from November 2019 to March 2020. RESULTS A total of 50 samples with different concentrations (from five different brands) of hyaluronic acid gel fillers were collected. Samples were taken at four different time points: before injection, immediately after injection, 1 month after injection, and 3 months after injection. The 50 samples were injected into nine different sites and collected from 27 females, aged between 18-55 years. No bacteria were detected in the culture media from any samples from the aerobic and anaerobic culture plates. CONCLUSION Our study did not find any evidence of contamination associated with the reuse of HA gel fillers regardless of the concentration and the injection site. Applying appropriate sterilization procedure for HA gel fillers extends its usability. There was no correlation between the length of storage time and the risk of contamination.

Abstract
Purpose The exact etiology of late inflammatory reactions (LIRs) to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is currently unknown. Some argue that these result from a hypersensitivity reaction, although evidence to support this is very scarce. Most reports on such reactions are not substantiated by positive skin tests. The purpose of our study was to determine whether immediate or delayed type hypersensitivity reaction follows hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections. Patients and Methods Twelve patients were referred for general allergic screening (patch tests), as well as specific intradermal testing (injection of 0.1cc boluses) on the medial upper arm with a selection of several currently available hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers on the market. A positive allergic reaction was defined as erythema, firmness or swelling. Results During the 4 month follow-up, no reactions to any of the tested HA fillers were reported. No correlation was found between results from the general allergic screening and a history with LIRs to HA fillers. Conclusion The results suggest that neither type I nor type IV hypersensitivity plays a role in late inflammatory reactions (LIRs) to hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. ![]()

Abstract
Rhinoplasty is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery. Clinicians are facing an increased demand on non-surgical procedures, therefore liquid rhinoplasty is gaining popularity. Given the characteristic of lipofilling to rejuvenate and improve skin texture, fat grafting can be used to reshape the nose in secondary rhinoplasty. Fat was injected in 27 patients with a mean age of 42 years. Volume of fat ranged from 1.5 to 4.5 cc with a mean of 2.2 cc. Patients were seen at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Patient satisfaction was measured using the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation questionnaire and plastic surgeons' evaluation. After 1 year follow up, 20 patients were satisfied with the results at 1 year. The aesthetic outcome was noted as very good in 11 patients, good in 9 patients, and poor in 3 patients. Most of the patients had an improvement in skin texture with trophic effect on the skin. No complications were seen in our series According to this study, nasal lipofilling is a safe and efficacious filler in secondary rhinoplasty. However, more studies are needed to assess the indications and limitations of nose lipofilling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermal filler injections continue to grow in popularity as a method of facial rejuvenation. This increase in the number of injections performed has resulted in an increasing number of types of filler-related complications. OBJECTIVES We report a series of cases where dermal filler injected in the face migrated to the orbit. Treatment methods and possible mechanisms of this newly reported complication are discussed. METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis was performed on patients with dermal filler migration to the orbit after facial filler injections. RESULTS Seven patients (6 females, 1 male; age range, 42-67 years) presented with orbital symptoms after filler injection and were subsequently found to have dermal filler in the orbit. Four out of 7 patients underwent orbitotomy surgery, 1 patient underwent lacrimal surgery, 1 patient had strabismus surgery, and 1 patient was treated with hyalurodinase injections. All patients have remained stable postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Orbital complications secondary to migrated filler may occur long after the initial procedure. Because the site of the complication is distant from the injection site, patients and physicians may not immediately make the connection. Furthermore, this may lead to unnecessary examinations and a delay in diagnosis while looking for standard orbital masses. Dermal fillers should therefore be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with new-onset orbital masses. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
This series of 2 articles on dermatopathologic diagnoses reviews conditions in which granulomas form. Part 1 clarifies concepts, discusses the presentation of different types of granulomas and giant cells, and considers a large variety of noninfectious diseases. Some granulomatous diseases have a metabolic origin, as in necrobiosis lipoidica. Others, such as granulomatous mycosis fungoides, are related to lymphomas. Still others, such as rosacea, are so common that dermatologists see them nearly daily in clinical practice.

Safety and Efficacy of Dermal Fillers in Patients With Connective Tissue Disease: A Review. Dermatol Surg 2021; 47:360-364. [PMID: 34328288 DOI: 10.1097/dss.0000000000002870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid, poly-l-lactic acid, and polymethyl-methacrylate are often used to treat cutaneous defects such as lipoatrophy. However, concern exists regarding their use in patients with a connective tissue disease (CTD) because of a theoretical risk of disease reactivation or exacerbation. Evidence regarding their use in patients with CTD also remains limited. OBJECTIVE This review intends to summarize and evaluate the available literature regarding the use of dermal fillers in patients with CTD. MATERIALS AND METHODS A literature search until May 2020 was conducted through PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid Embase to identify articles discussing the treatment of cutaneous defects secondary to CTD. Articles discussing the use of autologous fat transfer alone were excluded. RESULTS Twenty-three articles were reviewed. The amount of available evidence varies between the type of CTD and type of filler with morphea having the most published evidence out of the CTDs discussed and hyaluronic acid having the most published evidence out of the fillers discussed. Most studies demonstrated positive results with no report of disease reactivation or exacerbation. CONCLUSION Despite limited available evidence, dermal fillers seem to be safe as an adjunctive treatment for cutaneous defects in patients with CTD.

Abstract
Complete removal of cancerous tissue and preservation of breast cosmesis with a single breast conserving surgery (BCS) is essential for surgeons. New and better options would allow them to more consistently achieve this goal and expand the number of women that receive this preferred therapy, while minimizing the need for re-excision and revision procedures or more aggressive surgical approaches (i.e., mastectomy). We have developed and evaluated a regenerative tissue filler that is applied as a liquid to defects during BCS prior to transitioning to a fibrillar collagen scaffold with soft tissue consistency. Using a porcine simulated BCS model, the collagen filler was shown to induce a regenerative healing response, characterized by rapid cellularization, vascularization, and progressive breast tissue neogenesis, including adipose tissue and mammary glands and ducts. Unlike conventional biomaterials, no foreign body response or inflammatory-mediated "active" biodegradation was observed. The collagen filler also did not compromise simulated surgical re-excision, radiography, or ultrasonography procedures, features that are important for clinical translation. When post-BCS radiation was applied, the collagen filler and its associated tissue response were largely similar to non-irradiated conditions; however, as expected, healing was modestly slower. This in situ scaffold-forming collagen is easy to apply, conforms to patient-specific defects, and regenerates complex soft tissues in the absence of inflammation. It has significant translational potential as the first regenerative tissue filler for BCS as well as other soft tissue restoration and reconstruction needs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various substances are currently being used for cosmetic or postsurgical reconstruction reasons. Injecting of various materials into the face may provoke inflammatory or granulomatous reactions, infection and tissue necrosis. Among these reactions are foreign body granulomas. This study aims to describe the clinical characteristics of and therapeutic approaches used in patients with facial foreign body granulomas caused by the injection of various substances. METHODS From 2007 to 2020, a total of 64 patients visited our hospital due to inflammatory signs, palpable masses or surface irregularities. We reviewed patient characteristics, type of injected material, medical history and treatment outcomes. The treatment results were scored with patient satisfaction and statistical analysis of the treatment period was performed. RESULTS Most patients underwent conservative treatment followed by surgical treatment because of persistent symptoms; one patient did not require surgery. All patients reported good treatment results and satisfaction. The earlier the surgical treatment was performed, the shorter the treatment period and the higher patient satisfaction scoring. CONCLUSION Granulomatous changes to the face are an emerging concern in various cosmetic procedures and surgeries, including fillers, silicone implants and autologous fat injections. Our findings strongly suggest that patient symptoms require accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Abstract
Dermal fillers are gel-type substances for nonsurgical medical-device use to achieve facial rejuvenation. Currently, the most widely used skin fillers are hyaluronic-acid-based dermal fillers. This study aimed to explain the change in the volume of injected dermal fillers by developing a mathematical kinetic model for various dermal fillers. The kinetics of the injected fillers were separated by a biphasic phenomenon. We attributed an increase in filler volume to the hydration of hyaluronic acid molecules and injection-site reaction and a decrease in volume to enzyme-mediated degradation. To explain these in vivo characteristics of dermal fillers, we proposed a two-compartment model, divided into a depot compartment (where the filler was injected) and a subcutaneous compartment (an observation compartment where the fillers swell and degrade), assuming that the swelling and degradation occurred in accordance with the swelling and degradation rate constants, respectively. The model was developed using five hyaluronic-acid-based dermal fillers and NONMEM. We determined that the rate-limiting step for the complete degradation of the dermal fillers in vivo was the swelling phase, as described by the swelling rate constant (Kswell). This study could enable scientists developing novel dermal fillers to predict the in vivo behavior of fillers.

Abstract
Injectable filler treatments have increased in popularity because of enhanced safety profile and improved physical characteristics. ISAPS (International Society of Plastic Surgery) put out global data showing 3.7 million hyaluronic acid (HA) filler procedures in 2018, making it the second most often performed procedure in the world, after botulinum toxin. And these are only ‘those’ performed by qualified plastic surgeons. There was a concomitant increase in both the nonvascular and vascular complications, which coincided with the number and type of filler procedures performed. Filler complications were reviewed from existing literature, and an attempt was made to understand etiology, elucidate clinical features, and clarify optimum treatment strategies for each. Complications can be early or delayed in presentation, early consisting of injection site complications like bruising, edema, and hypersensitivity, Tyndall effect, and intravascular injection. Delayed complications included hypersensitivity type IV, acute infections like cellulitis, abscesses, and herpes and delayed ones like granulomas, biofilms, and atypical mycobacterial infections. These were analyzed and treatment options, protocols, and consensus guidelines were suggested. A clear understanding of facial anatomy, physical characteristics of all fillers used, early recognition, and treatment options of complications will ensure optimum outcomes.

Abstract
Collagens provide the building blocks for diverse tissues and organs. Furthermore, these proteins act as signaling molecules that control cell behavior during organ development, growth, and repair. Their long half-life, mechanical strength, ability to assemble into fibrils and networks, biocompatibility, and abundance from readily available discarded animal tissues make collagens an attractive material in biomedicine, drug and food industries, and cosmetic products. About three decades ago, pioneering experiments led to recombinant human collagens' expression, thereby initiating studies on the potential use of these proteins as substitutes for the animal-derived collagens. Since then, scientists have utilized various systems to produce native-like recombinant collagens and their fragments. They also tested these collagens as materials to repair tissues, deliver drugs, and serve as therapeutics. Although many tests demonstrated that recombinant collagens perform as well as their native counterparts, the recombinant collagen technology has not yet been adopted by the biomedical, pharmaceutical, or food industry. This paper highlights recent technologies to produce and utilize recombinant collagens, and it contemplates their prospects and limitations.

Abstract
Dermal filler injections are common cosmetic procedures and are growing in popularity. While frequently performed, dermal filler injections carry a risk of adverse events including vascular compromise and foreign body granulomas. Here, we discuss an unusual case of a patient with a history of dermal filler injections presenting with a parotid mass and an eyebrow mass requiring surgical resection. This case demonstrates the risk of delayed granuloma formation many years after dermal filler injection and highlights the importance of awareness and management of these potential long-term complications.

Abstract
Silicone-based compounds are commonly used in many medical applications, such as coatings for needles and syringes. Foreign body granulomas are a well-recognized complication of silicone exposure; however, they may be challenging to identify without a clear history. A 61-year-old female patient without prior history of periocular injections, filler, or surgery presented to our oculoplastic clinic with multiple periocular lesions. The patient subsequently underwent excisional biopsy of two prominent lesions, which were identified as granulomas on pathology. Further questioning revealed the cause to be facial acupuncture performed decades prior, and a subsequent targeted exam identified additional lesions at other needling sites. A third lesion was subsequently excised, and there was no recurrence at the last follow-up 3 months postsurgery. Acupuncture is an increasingly common but underrecognized source of silicone exposure and can present up to several decades after exposure as a chronic granulomatous response in a characteristic multifocal pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past decades, soft-tissue filler injections have become an essential part of cosmetic practice worldwide. Due to the increasing demand, unlicensed practitioners venture in performing this minimally invasive procedure, injecting illegal fillers that pose serious complications. OBJECTIVES To compare the adverse effects of legal and illegal soft-tissue fillers injected by licensed and unlicensed practitioners. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 10-year retrospective, descriptive, single-center study conducted at the outpatient dermatology department and skin laser center at Siriraj Hospital from January 2009 to December 2019. Patients were identified as having treatment-related complications. Their demographic data, clinical history, and injection history were reviewed. RESULTS Forty patients with mean age of 37 years old were included in the study. Thirty-five of them (87.5%) were female. Illegal soft-tissue fillers were used in 28 patients (70%) and were performed by unlicensed practitioners (18 cases, 64.3%, P = .001). Adverse effects from illegal fillers (26 cases, 92.9%) developed longer than legal fillers (7 cases, 58.3%) (P = .017). Symptoms significantly lasted longer in patients injected with illegal fillers, 10 (0.07-288) weeks, as compared to patients injected with legal fillers 0.75 (0.14-72) weeks (P = .01). Injections from illegal fillers resulted to foreign body reaction (22 cases, 78.6%) and infections (6 cases, 21.4%). Vascular complications were identified in legal fillers injections (5 cases, 41.7%). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of adverse effects and complications from soft-tissue filler injections are superior when performed by novice injectors and unlicensed practitioners using illegal fillers. Proper training of filler injections, selection of appropriate fillers, and early recognition of adverse effects are critically important to the success of treatments.
