Eur J Pharm Sci 2024; 198:106800. [PMID: 38754593 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2024.106800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers were a significant complication of diabetes and were accompanied by delayed wound healing. To compare the effect of topical application electrospun poly (L-lactide-co-caprolactone) and formulated porcine fibrinogen (PLCL/Fg) dressing with alginate dressing when treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). A single-center, prospective, randomized, patient-blinded clinical trial was conducted from July 1, 2023, to December 26, 2023. The clinical trial registration was completed on August 28, 2023 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06014437). The eligible patients with DFUs of 1-20 cm2 present for at least 1 month and with Wagner grade 1 or 2. They were randomized 1:1 to receive PLCL/Fg or alginate dressing. Participants received PLCL/Fg dressing 1-3 times per week or alginate dressing 3 times per week for 12 weeks. A total of 52 patients (33 men [63.5 %]; mean [SD] age, 63.1 [11.9] years; mean [SD] diabetes time, 8.3 [4.6] years) with DFUs were assessed for this study. The DFUs classified as Wagner grade 1 or 2 (mean [SD] ulcer area, 3.8 [3.2] cm2) were randomized to receive either the PLCL/Fg dressing (n = 26) or the alginate dressing (n = 26) for as long as 12 weeks. In this study, the incidence of complete healing included 22 patients (91.7 %) in the PLCL/Fg group and 14 (63.6 %) in the alginate group during the 12-week treatment period (P = 0.003). The treatment-related adverse events that occurred were 5 (20.8 %) in the PLCL/Fg group and 4 (18.1 %) in the comparator group. In this randomized clinical trial, PLCL/Fg dressing showed beneficial effects in DFUs treatment of wound surface reduction and regulating the wound microenvironment.

Abstract
With the development of the economy and the increasing prevalence of skin problems, cutaneous medical aesthetics are gaining more and more attention. Skin disorders like poor wound healing, aging, and pigmentation have an impact not only on appearance but also on patients with physical and psychological issues, and even impose a significant financial burden on families and society. However, due to the complexities of its occurrence, present treatment options cannot produce optimal outcomes, indicating a dire need for new and effective treatments. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their secretomics treatment is a new regenerative medicine therapy that promotes and regulates endogenous stem cell populations and/or replenishes cell pools to achieve tissue homeostasis and regeneration. It has demonstrated remarkable advantages in several skin-related in vivo and in vitro investigations, aiding in the improvement of skin conditions and the promotion of skin aesthetics. As a result, this review gives a complete description of recent scientific breakthroughs in MSCs for skin aesthetics and the limitations of their clinical applications, aiming to provide new ideas for future research and clinical transformation.

Abstract
Burn wound regeneration is a complex process, which has many serious challenges such as slow wound healing, secondary infection, and inflammation. Therefore, it is essential to utilise appropriate biomaterials to accelerate and guide the wound healing process. Bacterial cellulose (BC), a natural polymer synthesised by some bacteria, has attracted much attention for wound healing applications due to its unique properties including excellent physicochemical and mechanical properties, simple purification process, three-dimensional (3D) network structure similar to extracellular matrix, high purity, high water holding capacity and significant permeability to gas and liquid. BC's lack of antibacterial activity significantly limits its biomedical and tissue engineering application, but adding antimicrobial agents to it remarkably improves its performance in tissue regeneration applications. Burn wound healing is a complex long-lasting process. Using biomaterials in wound treatment has shown that they can satisfactorily accelerate wound healing. The purpose of this review is to elaborate on the importance of BC-based structures as one of the most widely used modern wound dressings in the treatment of burn wounds. In addition, the combination of various drugs, agents, cells and biomolecules with BC to expand its application in burn injury regeneration is discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future development direction of BC-based structures for burn wound repair are considered. The four most popular search engines PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar were used to help us find relevant papers. The most frequently used keywords were bacterial cellulose, BC-based biocomposite, wound healing, burn wound and vascular graft.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burn injuries can be associated with prolonged healing, infection, a substantial inflammatory response, extensive scarring, and eventually death. In recent decades, both the mortality rates and long-term survival of severe burn victims have improved significantly, and burn care research has increasingly focused on a better quality of life post-trauma. However, delayed healing, infection, pain and extensive scar formation remain a major challenge in the treatment of burns. ADSCs, a distinct type of mesenchymal stem cells, have been shown to improve the healing process. The aim of this review is to evaluate the efficacy of ADSCs in the treatment of burn injuries. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science and Embase. The basic research question was formulated with the PICO framework, whereby the usage of ADSCs in the treatment of burns in vivo was determined as the fundamental inclusion criterion. Additionally, pertinent journals focusing on burns and their treatment were screened manually for eligible studies. The review was registered in PROSPERO and reported according to the PRISMA statement. RESULTS Of the 599 publications screened, 21 were considered relevant to the key question and were included in the present review. The included studies were almost all conducted on rodents, with one exception, where pigs were investigated. 13 of the studies examined the treatment of full-thickness and eight of deep partial-thickness burn injuries. 57,1 percent of the relevant studies have demonstrated that ADSCs exhibit immunomodulatory effects during the inflammatory response. 16 studies have shown improved neovascularisation with the use of ADSCs. 14 studies report positive influences of ADSCs on granulation tissue formation, while 11 studies highlight their efficacy in promoting re-epithelialisation. 11 trials demonstrated an improvement in outcomes during the remodelling phase. CONCLUSION In conclusion, it appears that adipose-derived stem cells demonstrate remarkable efficacy in the field of regenerative medicine. However, the usage of ADSCs in the treatment of burns is still at an early experimental stage, and further investigations are required in order to examine the potential usage of ADSCs in future clinical burn care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to its barrier function, the skin plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of the body's internal environment and normal physiological functions. When the skin is damaged, it is important to select proper dressings as temporary barriers to cover the wound, which can exert significant effects on defence against microbial infection, maintaining normal tissue/cell functions, and coordinating the process of wound repair and regeneration. It now forms an important approach in clinic practice to facilitate wound repair. SEARCH STRATEGIES We conducted a comprehensive literature search using online databases including PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, CNKI, and Wanfang Data. In addition, information was obtained from local and foreign books on biomaterials science and traumatology. RESULTS This review focuses on the efficacy and principles of functional dressings for anti-bacteria, anti-infection, anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, hemostasis, and wound healing facilitation; and analyses the research progress of dressings carrying living cells such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes, skin appendage cells, and stem cells from different origins. We also summarize the recent advances in intelligent wound dressings with respect to real-time monitoring, automatic drug delivery, and precise adjustment according to the actual wound microenvironment. In addition, this review explores and compares the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, mechanisms of actions, and application scopes of dressings made from different materials. CONCLUSION The real-time and dynamic acquisition and analysis of wound conditions are crucial for wound management and prognostic evaluation. Therefore, the development of modern dressings that integrate multiple functions, have high similarity to the skin, and are highly intelligent will be the focus of future research, which could drive efficient wound management and personalized medicine, and ultimately facilitate the translation of health monitoring into clinical practice.

Abstract
Burn injuries are a significant global health concern, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Deep burn injuries often result in delayed healing and scar formation, necessitating effective treatment options. Regenerative medicine, particularly cell therapy using adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), has emerged as a promising approach to improving burn wound healing and reducing scarring. Both in vitro and preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ASCs and the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in addressing burn wounds. The application of ASCs for burn healing has been studied in various forms, including autologous or allogeneic cells delivered in suspension or within scaffolds in animal burn models. Additionally, ASC-derived non-cellular components, such as conditioned media or exosomes have shown promise. Injection of ASCs and SVF at burn sites have been demonstrated to enhance wound healing by reducing inflammation and promoting angiogenesis, epithelialization, and granulation tissue formation through their paracrine secretome. This review discusses the applications of adipose tissue derivatives in burn injury treatment, encompassing ASC transplantation, as well as the utilization of non-cellular components utilization for therapeutic benefits. The application of ASCs in burn healing in the future will require addressing donor variability, safety, and efficacy for successful clinical application.

Abstract
The repair process for oral and maxillofacial injuries involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Injury repair involves a variety of cells, including platelets, immune cells, fibroblasts, and various cytokines. Rapid and adequate healing of oral and maxillofacial trauma is a major concern to patients. Functional drug-delivery hydrogels play an active role in promoting wound healing and have shown unique advantages in wound dressings. Functional hydrogels promote wound healing through their adhesive, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, hemostatic, angiogenic, and re-epithelialization-promoting properties, effectively sealing wounds and reducing inflammation. In addition, functional hydrogels can respond to changes in temperature, light, magnetic fields, pH, and reactive oxygen species to release drugs, enabling precise treatment. Furthermore, hydrogels can deliver various cargos that promote healing, including nucleic acids, cytokines, small-molecule drugs, stem cells, exosomes, and nanomaterials. Therefore, functional drug-delivery hydrogels have a positive impact on the healing of oral and maxillofacial injuries. This review describes the oral mucosal structure and healing process and summarizes the currently available responsive hydrogels used to promote wound healing.

Cytokine 2023; 165:156175. [PMID: 36948039 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2023.156175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence has figured out that adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) promote wound healing. Exosomes, which act as main paracrine factors and contains various protein, lncRNA, and miRNAs, play a critical role in wound healing. Nevertheless, the mechanism remains to be elucidated. This study aims to identify the underlying mechanism of ADSCs-derived exosome (ADSCs-exos)-mediated wound healing. METHODS ADSCs-exos were characterized using the transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, and western blot. ELISA, RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, western blot, CCK-8 assay, transwell assay and tube formation were employed to validate the actions of ADSCs-exos harboring H19 in cell polarization, proliferation, migration and angiogenesis. The regulatory axis among H19, miR-130b-3p and PPARγ or STAT3 was confirmed by RNA pull-down, RIP assay and dual-luciferase reporter assays. RESULTS ADSCs-exos harboring H19 promoted macrophage M2 polarization, thereby enhancing fibroblast proliferation, migration and endothelial cell angiogenesis. However, their promotive effects were disrupted within H19 depletion in ADSCs-exos. Additionally, miR-130b-3p, directly targeting PPARγ or STAT3, was identified to be a downstream effector to participate in H19-mediated biological effects. Moreover, ADSCs-exos carrying H19 modulated cutaneous wound healing via H19/miR-130b-3p -mediated macrophage M2 polarization in vivo. CONCLUSION Collectively, ADSCs-derived exosomal H19 accelerates cutaneous wound healing via the miR-130b-3p/PPARγ/STAT3 axis, indicating potential therapeutic strategies for the treatment of wound healing.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSCs) have been extensively studied in recent years. Their attractiveness is due to the ease of obtaining clinical material (fat tissue, lipoaspirate) and the relatively large number of AD-MSCs present in adipose tissue. In addition, AD-MSCs possess a high regenerative potential and immunomodulatory activities. Therefore, AD-MSCs have great potential in stem cell-based therapies in wound healing as well as in orthopedic, cardiovascular, or autoimmune diseases. There are many ongoing clinical trials on AD-MSC and in many cases their effectiveness has been proven. In this article, we present current knowledge about AD-MSCs based on our experience and other authors. We also demonstrate the application of AD-MSCs in selected pre-clinical models and clinical studies. Adipose-derived stromal cells can also be the pillar of the next generation of stem cells that will be chemically or genetically modified. Despite much research on these cells, there are still important and interesting areas to explore.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been widely proven to facilitate wound healing. Our study aimed to estimate the influence of combined ADSCs and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) on wound healing. We utilized 4 healthy SD rats to isolate ADSCs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was acquired utilizing a two-step centrifugation technology. The role of PRP, PDGF-BB, and PDGF-BB combined with a PI3k inhibitor LY294002 on the viability, migration, and PTEN/AKT pathway in ADSCs were examined utilizing CCK-8, Transwell, and western blot assays. Then, we constructed an open trauma model in SD rats. Effects of ADSCs treated with PDGF-BB on pathological changes, CD31, and PTEN/AKT pathway of wound closure were assessed by hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, Masson staining, immunohistochemical, and western blot assays, respectively. PRP and PDGF-BB intensified the viability and migration of ADSCs by modulating the PTEN/AKT pathway. Interestingly, LY294002 reversed the role of PDGF-BB on ADSCs. In vivo experiments, combined intervention with ADSCs plus PDGF-BB/PRP facilitated wound closure and ameliorated histological injury. Moreover, combined intervention with ADSCs and PDGF-BB attenuated the PTEN level and elevated the CD31 level as well as the ratio of p-AKT/AKT in the skin tissues. A combination of ADSCs and PDGF-BB facilitated wound healing might associate with the regulation of the PTEN/AKT pathway.

Abstract
With a history of more than 100 years of different applications in various scientific fields, the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay has proven itself to be an exceptional scientific model that meets the requirements of the replacement, reduction, and refinement principle (3R principle). As one of three extraembryonic avian membranes, the CAM is responsible for fetal respiration, metabolism, and protection. The model provides a unique constellation of immunological, vascular, and extracellular properties while being affordable and reliable at the same time. It can be utilized for research purposes in cancer biology, angiogenesis, virology, and toxicology and has recently been used for biochemistry, pharmaceutical research, and stem cell biology. Stem cells and, in particular, mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSCs) are emerging subjects for novel therapeutic strategies in the fields of tissue regeneration and personalized medicine. Because of their easy accessibility, differentiation profile, immunomodulatory properties, and cytokine repertoire, ADSCs have already been established for different preclinical applications in the files mentioned above. In this review, we aim to highlight and identify some of the cross-sections for the potential utilization of the CAM model for ADSC studies with a focus on wound healing and tissue engineering, as well as oncological research, e.g., sarcomas. Hereby, the focus lies on the combination of existing evidence and experience of such intersections with a potential utilization of the CAM model for further research on ADSCs.

[PMID: 35560869 PMCID: PMC9797938 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13831] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of stem cells treatment in managing burn wounds. A systematic literature search up to March 2022 incorporated 24 studies reported between 2013 and 2021 including 400 animals with burn wounds at the beginning of the study; 211 were using stem cells treatment, and 189 controlled. Statistical tools like the contentious method were used within a random or fixed-influence model to establish the mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to evaluate the influence of stem cells treatment in managing burn wounds. Stem cells treatment had a significantly higher burn wound healing rate (MD, 15.18; 95% CI, 11.29-19.07, P < .001), higher blood vessel number (MD, 12.28; 95% CI, 10.06-14.51, P < .001), higher vascular endothelial growth factor (MD, 10.24; 95% CI, 7.19-13.29, P < .001), lower interleukin-1 level (MD, -98.48; 95% CI, -155.33 to -41.63, P < .001), and lower tumour necrosis factor α level (MD, -28.71; 95% CI, -46.65 to -10.76, P < .002) compared with control in animals' models with burn wounds. Stem cells treatment had a significantly higher burn wound healing rate, higher blood vessel number, higher vascular endothelial growth factor, lower interleukin-1 level, and lower tumour necrosis factor α level compared with control in animals' models with burn wounds. Further studies are required to validate these findings.

Adipose stromal vascular fraction: a promising treatment for severe burn injury. Hum Cell 2022; 35:1323-1337.

Abstract
Thermal skin burn injury affects both adults and children globally. Severe burn injury affects a patient's life psychologically, cosmetically, and socially. The pathophysiology of burn injury is well known. Due to the complexity of burn pathophysiology, the development of specific treatment aiding in tissue regeneration is required. Treatment of burn injury depends on burn severity, size of the burn and availability of donor site. Burn healing requires biochemical and cellular events to ensure better cell response to biochemical signals of the healing process. This led to the consideration of using cell therapy for severe burn injury. Adult mesenchymal stem cells have become a therapeutic option because of their ability for self-renewal and differentiation. Adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF), isolated from adipose tissues, is a heterogeneous cell population that contains adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ADSC), stromal, endothelial, hematopoietic and pericytic lineages. SVF isolation has advantages over other types of cells; such as heterogeneity of cells, lower invasive extraction procedure, high yield of cells, and fast and easy isolation. Therefore, SVF has many characteristics that enable them to be a therapeutic option for burn treatment. Studies have been conducted mostly in animal models to investigate their therapeutic potential for burn injury. They can be used alone or in combination with other treatment options. Treatment with both ADSCs and/or SVF enhances burn healing through increasing re-epithelization, angiogenesis and decreasing inflammation and scar formation. Research needs to be conducted for a better understanding of the SVF mechanism in burn healing and to optimize current techniques for enhanced treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have a spontaneous propensity to support tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Among the several sources of MSCs, adipose-derived tissue stem cells (ADSCs) have received major interest due to the higher mesenchymal stem cells concentration, ease, and safety of access. However, since a significant part of the natural capacity of ADSCs to repair damaged tissue is ascribable to their secretory activity that combines mitogenic factors, cytokines, chemokines, lipids, and extracellular matrix components, several studies focused on cell-free strategies. Furthermore, adipose cell-free derivatives are becoming more attractive especially for non-volumizing purposes, such as most dermatological conditions. However, when keratinocytes, fibroblasts, melanocytes, adipocytes, and hair follicle cells might not be locally sourced, graft of materials containing concentrated ADSCs is preferred. The usage of extracellular elements of adipose tissue aims to promote a self-autonomous regenerative microenvironment in the receiving area restoring physiological homeostasis. Hence, ADSCs or their paracrine activity are currently being studied in several dermatological settings including wound healing, skin fibrosis, burn, and aging.The present work analyzing both preclinical and clinical experiences gives an overview of the efficacy of adipose tissue-derivatives like autologous fat, the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), purified ADSCs, secretome and extracellular matrix graft in the field of regenerative medicine for the skin.

Abstract
Adipose- stem cells (ASCs) have received much attention in the recent years and several articles have investigated the role of these cells on burn wound healing. To understand the outcomes of the ASCs therapy on burn wound healing, a systematic review was performed. This study was conducted by searching in Pubmed, ISI, and Scopus until May 2021. Thirty-six animal studies were included in this study. The findings revealed that although treatment with ASCs somewhat enhanced the healing rate, cultured ASCs on scaffolds or its combination with hydrogels could significantly increase the viability of ASCs and promote rate of healing. However, clinical studies are necessary to gain a better understanding of the role of ASCs in burn wound healing.

Abstract
Simple Summary Human burns are diverse and the most difficult injuries to study in clinical settings. Numerous experimental burn models designed to study and compare different aspects of burns and their consequences and treatment are steadily progressing. This review summarizes the latest advances in experimental burn research as a guide to aid in the future design of studies. Abstract Experimental burn models are essential tools for simulating human burn injuries and exploring the consequences of burns or new treatment strategies. Unlike clinical studies, experimental models allow a direct comparison of different aspects of burns under controlled conditions and thereby provide relevant information on the molecular mechanisms of tissue damage and wound healing, as well as potential therapeutic targets. While most comparative burn studies are performed in animal models, a few human or humanized models have been successfully employed to study local events at the injury site. However, the consensus between animal and human studies regarding the cellular and molecular nature of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), scarring, and neovascularization is limited. The many interspecies differences prohibit the outcomes of animal model studies from being fully translated into the human system. Thus, the development of more targeted, individualized treatments for burn injuries remains a major challenge in this field. This review focuses on the latest progress in experimental burn models achieved since 2016, and summarizes the outcomes regarding potential methodological improvements, assessments of molecular responses to injury, and therapeutic advances.

Abstract
Burn wounds have proven to be capable of having a long lasting devastating effects on human body. Conventional therapeutic approaches are not up to the mark as they are unable to completely heal the burn wound easily and effectively. Major pitfalls of these treatments include hypertrophic scarring, contracture and necrosis. Presence of these limitations in the current therapies necessitate the search for a better and more efficient cure. Regenerative potency of stem cells in burn wound healing outweigh the traditional treatment procedures. The use of multiple kinds of stem cells are gaining interest due to their enhanced healing efficiency. Distinctions of stem cells include better and faster burn wound healing, decreased inflammation levels, less scar progression and fibrosis on site. In this review, we have discussed the wound-healing process, present methods used for stem cells administration, methods of enhancing stem cells potency and human studies. Pre-clinical and the clinical studies focused on the treatment of thermal and radiation burns using stem cells from 2003 till the present time have been enlisted. Studies shows that the use of stem cells on burn wounds, whether alone or by the help of a scaffold significantly improves healing. Homing of the stem cells at the wound site results in the re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, granulation, inhibition of apoptosis, and regeneration of skin appendages together with reduced infection rate in the human studies. Several studies on animals have shown that stem cells can effectively promote wound healing. Although more research is needed to find out the effectiveness of this treatment in patients with severe burn wounds.

Abstract
Exposure to the external environment may lead to instability and dysfunction of the skin, resulting in refractory wound, skin aging, pigmented dermatosis, hair loss, some immune-mediated dermatoses, and connective tissue diseases. Nowadays, many skin treatments have not achieved a commendable balance between medical recovery and cosmetic needs. Exosomes are cell-derived nanoscale vesicles carrying various biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, with the capability to communicate with adjacent or distant cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that endogenic multiple kinds of exosomes are crucial orchestrators in shaping physiological and pathological development of the skin. Besides, exogenous exosomes, such as stem cell exosomes, can serve as novel treatment options to repair, regenerate, and rejuvenate skin tissue. Herein, we review new insights into the role of endogenic and exogenous exosomes in the skin microenvironment and recent advances in applications of exosomes related to dermatology and cutaneous medical aesthetics. The deep understanding of the mechanisms by which exosomes perform biological functions in skin is of great potential to establish attractive therapeutic methods for the skin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burns remain a serious public health problem with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Although there are various treatment options available, there is no consensus on the best treatment for severe burns as of yet. Stem cell therapy has a bright prospect in many preclinical studies of burn wounds. The systematic review was performed for these preclinical studies to assess the efficacy and possible mechanisms of stem cells in treating burn wounds. METHODS Twenty-two studies with 595 animals were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to 13 May 2020. In addition, a manual search of references of studies was performed to obtain potential studies. No language or time restrictions were enforced. RevMan 5.3 was used for all data analysis. RESULTS The overall meta-analysis showed that stem cell therapy significantly improved burn healing rate (SMD 3.06, 95% CI 1.98 to 4.14), irrespective of transplant type, burn area, and treatment method in the control group. Subgroup analyses indicated that hair follicle stem cells seemed to exert more beneficial effects on animals with burn wounds (SMD 7.53, 95% CI 3.11 to 11.95) compared with other stem cells. Furthermore, stem cell therapy seemed to exert more beneficial effects on burn wounds with second-degree (SMD 7.53, 95% CI 3.11 to 11.95) compared with third-degree (SMD 2.65, 95% CI 1.31 to 4.00). CONCLUSIONS Meta-analysis showed that stem cell therapy exerts a healing function for burn wounds, mainly through angiogenesis and anti-inflammatory actions. These findings also demonstrate the need for considering variations in future clinical studies using stem cells to treat a burn wound in order to maximize the effectiveness. In general, stem cells can potentially become a novel therapy candidate for burn wounds.

Abstract
Laparoscopy, one of minimally invasive procedures, is a commonly used procedure in diagnosis and management of various kinds of clinical problems, including gynecologic organ-related diseases. Compared with conventional exploratory laparotomy, the benefits of laparoscopic surgery include reduction of surgical wound, decreasing in postoperative pain, shortening hospital stay, rapid recovery, and a better cosmetic result. However, there are still up to 80% of patients after laparoscopic surgery complaining of high levels of pain and needing pain relief. Postlaparoscopic pain can be separated into distinct causes, such as surgical trauma- or incision wound-associated inflammatory change, and pneumoperitoneum (carbon dioxide [CO2])-related morphological and biochemical changes of peritoneum and diaphragm. The latter is secondary to irritation, stretching, and foreign body stimulation, leading to phrenic neuropraxia and subsequent shoulder-tip pain (STP). STP is the most typical unpleasant experience of patients after laparoscopic surgery. There are at least 11 strategies available to attempt to decrease postlaparoscopic STP, including (1) the use of an alternative insufflating gas in place of CO2, (2) the use of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum in place of standard-pressure pneumoperitoneum, (3) the use of warmed or warmed and humidified CO2, (4) gasless laparoscopy, (5) subdiaphragmatic intraperitoneal anesthesia, (6) local intraperitoneal anesthesia, (7) actively expelling out of gas, (8) intraperitoneal drainage, (9) fluid instillation, (10) pulmonary recruitment maneuvers, and (11) others and combination. The present article is limited in discussing postlaparoscopic STP. We extensively review published articles to provide a better strategy to reduce postlaparoscopic STP.
