Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulating excessive inflammation and oxidative stress in fat grafting may improve retention rates. Hydrogen effectively combats oxidative stress and inflammation and reportedly inhibits ischemia-reperfusion injury in various organs. However, with conventional methods of hydrogen administration, incorporating hydrogen continuously into the body over a long period of time is difficult. The authors hypothesized that a silicon (Si)-based agent they recently developed would aid in fat grafting, as it can generate large amounts of hydrogen continuously in the body. METHODS Fat grafting was performed on the backs of rats fed either a normal or 1.0 wt% Si-based agent-containing diet. To investigate synergistic effects with adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs), which improve retention rates of fat grafting, fat grafting with ASCs (1.0 × 10 5 /400 mg fat) was also performed in each rat. Postoperative retention rates of grafted fat over time, inflammatory indices, apoptosis, oxidative stress markers, histologic findings, and expression levels of inflammation-related cytokines and growth factors were compared among the 4 groups. RESULTS Intake of Si-based agent and addition of ASCs significantly reduced inflammatory indices, oxidative stress, and apoptosis of grafted fat, and improved long-term retention rates, histologic measures, and grafted fat quality. Under the experimental conditions, intake of the Si-based agent and addition of ASCs yielded comparable improvements in fat graft retention. Combining the 2 enhanced these effects. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of a hydrogen-generating Si-based agent may improve grafted fat retention by regulating the inflammatory response and oxidative stress in grafted fat. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT This study demonstrates improved grafted fat retention rates using a Si-based agent. This Si-based agent has the potential to expand the range of therapeutic indications of hydrogen-based therapy to conditions for which hydrogen has yet to be found effective, such as fat grafting.

Abstract
Equine mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) of various origins have been identified in horses, including MSCs from the bone marrow and adipose tissue. However, these stem cell sources are highly invasive in sampling, which thereby limits their clinical application in equine veterinary medicine. This study presents a novel method using an air-liquid interface to isolate stem cells from the hair follicle outer root sheath of the equine forehead skin. These stem cells cultured herewith showed high proliferation and asumed MSC phenotype by expressing MSC positive biomarkers (CD29, CD44 CD90) while not expressing negative markers (CD14, CD34 and CD45). They were capable of differentiating towards chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic lineages, which was comparable with MSCs from adipose tissue. Due to their proliferative phenotype in vitro, MSC-like profile and differentiation capacities, we named them equine mesenchymal stem cells from the hair follicle outer root sheath (eMSCORS). eMSCORS present a promising alternative stem cell source for the equine veterinary medicine.

[PMID: 36362308 PMCID: PMC9658499 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232113517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/30/2022] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Adipose tissue contains adult mesenchymal stem cells that may modulate the metabolism when applied to other tissues. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) can be isolated from adipose tissue mechanically and/or enzymatically. SVF was recently used to decrease the pain and improve the function of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Primary and/or secondary OA causes inflammation and degeneration in joints, and regenerative approaches that may modify the natural course of the disease are limited. SVF may modulate inflammation and initiate regeneration in joint tissues by initiating a paracrine effect. Chemokines released from SVF may slow down degeneration and stimulate regeneration in joints. In this review, we overviewed articular joint cartilage structures and functions, OA, and macro-, micro-, and nano-fat isolation techniques. Mechanic and enzymatic SVF processing techniques were summarized. Clinical outcomes of adipose tissue derived tissue SVF (AD-tSVF) were evaluated. Medical devices that can mechanically isolate AD-tSVF were listed, and publications referring to such devices were summarized. Recent review manuscripts were also systematically evaluated and included. Transferring adipose tissues and cells has its roots in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. Micro- and nano-fat is also transferred to other organs and tissues to stimulate regeneration as it contains regenerative cells. Minimal manipulation of the adipose tissue is recently preferred to isolate the regenerative cells without disrupting them from their natural environment. The number of patients in the follow-up studies are recently increasing. The duration of follow up is also increasing with favorable outcomes from the short- to mid-term. There are however variations for mean age and the severity of knee OA patients between studies. Positive outcomes are related to the higher number of cells in the AD-tSVF. Repetition of injections and concomitant treatments such as combining the AD-tSVF with platelet rich plasma or hyaluronan are not solidified. Good results were obtained when combined with arthroscopic debridement and micro- or nano-fracture techniques for small-sized cartilage defects. The optimum pressure applied to the tissues and cells during filtration and purification of the AD-tSVF is not specified yet. Quantitative monitoring of articular joint cartilage regeneration by ultrasound, MR, and synovial fluid analysis as well as with second-look arthroscopy could improve our current knowledge on AD-tSVF treatment in knee OA. AD-tSVF isolation techniques and technologies have the potential to improve knee OA treatment. The duration of centrifugation, filtration, washing, and purification should however be standardized. Using gravity-only for isolation and filtration could be a reasonable approach to avoid possible complications of other methodologies.

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.

Abstract
Objective Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have the potential to be applied to solid organ treatments. However, tissue regeneration is limited by the death of transplanted cells. Ischemia is the main cause of the poor outcome. This study aimed to investigate the effect of berberine (BBR) on ADSCs after fat grafting. Methods The antioxidant BBR on apoptosis and autophagy of ADSCs in vitro ischemia model was induced by hypoxia and serum deprivation (HY/SD). The autophagy promoter rapamycin and autophagy inhibitor 3-MA were incubated separately to investigate the crosstalk between autophagy and apoptosis. Pathway inhibitors further verified whether the autophagy and apoptosis were regulated by AMPK/mTor signaling pathway. Fat survival, fibrosis, level of inflammatory cell infiltration, and the effect of angiogenesis after BBR treatment were observed in vivo. Results BBR could reduce ROS production and reverse the decreasing cell survival rate. HY/SD would induce apoptosis and autophagy in ADSCs, and BBR could alleviate these processes. After interfering with the level of autophagy, we also proved that apoptosis was regulated by autophagy and changed accordingly. The results also indicated that BBR could protect against autophagy and apoptosis of ADSCs through AMPK/mTor pathway. The treated human-derived adipose tissue was transplanted into BALB/c nude mice, and with the intervention of BBR, the fat grafting had a higher survival rate, lower inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis level. Conclusion Our present study revealed that BBR was a promising anti-autophagy and apoptosis agent for improving the survival rate of ADSCs during cell transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose tissue harvested by liposuctions is an available source of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). Water-jet-assisted liposuction is a favorable method for fat collection with little mechanical damage. This study aimed to investigate whether or not the water-jet-assisted liposuction made a difference in the biological characteristics of cryopreserved ASCs and fat graft survival in cell-assisted lipotransfer. METHODS Human lipoaspirates were obtained from the abdomen or thighs of 20 female participants for body contouring. A single surgeon randomly harvested 50 mL of adipose tissue by the water-jet-assisted liposuction and the conventional liposuction, respectively. Adipose-derived stem cells were isolated from lipoaspirates and then cryopreserved for 4 weeks. Cryopreserved ASCs were used to examine the surface markers, cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation in vitro. The fat survival of ASCs-enriched grafts from different liposuctions was measured in animal models. RESULTS The cryopreserved ASCs with the water-jet assistance had better capacities of cell proliferation, migration, and adipogenic differentiation and achieved a better survival result of ASCs-enriched fat grafting. CONCLUSIONS Cryopreservation of ASCs with the water-jet force showed more excellent biological characteristics. The water-jet-assisted liposuction was superior to the conventional liposuction in obtaining ASCs and fat survival of coimplantation with grafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the effect of apocynin on fat graft survival in a rat model. METHODS Twenty-one Wistar albino male rats were included in the study. The grafts taken from the inguinal area were applied to the nape of each rat. The rats were randomly divided into three groups. Apocynin+DMSO, DMSO and saline were administered intraperitoneally once daily for 14 days. After 90 days, the animals were sacrificed and the grafts were excised. The weights and volumes were measured and sent for histopathological evaluation. The weight, volume, survival rates of the grafts, the number of viable cells with the MTT test and pathological parameters, inflammation, vascularization, fibrosis, lipogranuloma and cyst formation, were evaluated. RESULTS Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in survival rates (p<0.05). In paired comparisons between the groups, the parameters of viable cells and survival rates were statistically significantly higher in apocynin group compared to the other groups (p<0.05). The survival rates relating to the weight and viable cell count in the DMSO group were statistically significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the DMSO group and the control group in the survival rate in terms of volume (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in the comparison of pathological parameters (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Apocynin increases fat graft survival in the animal fat grafting model. Therefore, apocynin can be used as an effective medical agent to prevent the volume loss of fat grafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafting is a common procedure to improve tissue deficiencies. However, the survival rate of fat grafting is unpredictable. Thymosin beta 4 (Tß4), a multifunctional peptide containing 43 amino acids, is effective in angiogenesis, inhibiting apoptosis and inflammation. OBJECTIVES The authors initially investigated the potential effect of Tß4 in fat grafting. METHODS Adipose tissue premixed exogenous Tß4 were transplanted into rabbit ears. Rabbits were randomly assigned to 3 groups: group A, 5 μg/mL Tß4; group B, 10 μg/mL Tß4; and group C, phosphate-buffered saline buffer as a blank control. The fat grafts were subjected to magnetic resonance imaging at 2, 4, and 12 weeks in vivo. Each harvested graft was analyzed at 3 time points after transplantation. RESULTS The fat grafts in the Tß4-treated groups showed better volume and weight retention, greater adipose tissue integrity, adipocyte viability, and angiogenesis. The results of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging also showed that the experimental groups increased microcirculation perfusion of the grafts. CONCLUSIONS The study proved that Tß4 could improve adipose tissue survival and neovascularization. It may be useful for fat grafting as a potential protective reagent.

Abstract
As the storage time of the fat tissue passes by, lipid peroxidation and creation of by‐products may take place. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell viability and functional changes of adipose‐derived stem cells (ADSCs) in the cryopreserved lipoaspirates at different temperatures in accordance with lipid peroxidation. Lipoaspirates acquired from liposuction were divided into four different temperature groups and stored at 4°C, −20°C, −80°C, and −196°C. After isolating ADSC from each sample, gross cell morphology and cell viability were compared with doubling time and colony‐forming unit (CFU) formation ability. Acid value, that is, thiobarbituric acid value was measured to assess lipid peroxidation. No viable ADSC was observed in −20°C and −196°C samples for past 1 week and a superior number of the live cells were detected in the 4°C group compared with the −80°C group. However, the persistence of cell division and CFU formation after 1 week was only observed in adipocytes stored at −80°C. Lipid peroxidation mainly occurred at 4°C and −20°C storage samples. If the lipoaspirates were planned to be cryopreserved, it is advised to store at −80°C. However, the number of actually functional ADSCs is very low. Furthermore, even in the cryopreserved status, continuous lipid peroxidation and by‐product creation took place, suggesting shorter preservation period as possible in the clinics.

Abstract
Fat grafting is a well-established surgical technique used in plastic surgery to restore deficient tissue, and more recently, for its putative regenerative properties. Despite more frequent use of fat grafting, however, a scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying either survival or remedial benefits of grafted fat remain lacking. Clinical use of fat grafts for breast reconstruction in tissues damaged by radiotherapy first provided clues regarding the clinical potential of stem cells to drive tissue regeneration. Healthy fat introduced into irradiated tissues appeared to reverse radiation injury (fibrosis, scarring, contracture and pain) clinically; a phenomenon since validated in several animal studies. In the quest to explain and enhance these therapeutic effects, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were suggested as playing a key role and techniques to enrich ADSCs in fat, in turn, followed. Stem cells - the body's rapid response 'road repair crew' - are on standby to combat tissue insults. ADSCs may exert influences either by releasing paracrine-signalling factors alone or as cell-free extracellular vesicles (EVs, exosomes). Alternatively, ADSCs may augment vital immune/inflammatory processes; or themselves differentiate into mature adipose cells to provide the 'building-blocks' for engineered tissue. Regardless, adipose tissue constitutes an ideal source for mesenchymal stem cells for therapeutic application, due to ease of harvest and processing; and a relative abundance of adipose tissue in most patients. Here, we review the clinical applications of fat grafting, ADSC-enhanced fat graft, fat stem cell therapy; and the latest evolution of EVs and nanoparticles in healing, cancer and neurodegenerative and multiorgan disease.

[PMID: 31044114 PMCID: PMC6467607 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000002138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Accepted: 12/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background: Fat grafting is a growing field within plastic surgery. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and stromal vascular fracture (SVF) may have a role in fat graft survival. Our group previously demonstrated a detrimental effect on ASC survival by the lidocaine used in tumescent solution. Sodium bicarbonate (SB) buffers the acidity of lidocaine. The purpose of this study was to determine whether SB buffering is a practical method to reduce ASC and SVF apoptosis and necrosis seen with common lidocaine-containing tumescent solution. Methods: Human patients undergoing bilateral liposuction for any indication were included in this study. An internally controlled, split-body design was utilized. Tumescent liposuction on one side of the body was conducted with tumescent containing lidocaine. On the opposite side, liposuction was conducted by adding SB to the tumescent. Tumescent solution and lipoaspirate pH were measured. Lipoaspirate from each side was processed for SVF isolation and ASC culture. The number of viable ASCs was counted and SVF apoptosis/necrosis was examined. Results: The pH of the SB-buffered tumescent was significantly higher than that of the standard tumescent, an effect also seen in the lipoaspirate. Adipose-derived stem cell survival in the SB-buffered lipoaspirate was approximately 53% higher. However, there was no significant difference in SVF apoptosis and necrosis between the groups. Conclusions: The acidic standard tumescent solution commonly used in liposuction diminishes ASC viability from lipoaspirates. Sodium bicarbonate buffering tumescent solution can enhance ASC viability, but does not affect SVF apoptosis and necrosis. We recommend buffering tumescent with SB to potentially improve fat graft take. Our findings advocate for further research investigating mechanisms and optimal harvest techniques that maximize SVF/ASC survival and the clinical effect on overall fat graft viability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat grafting has been used extensively in plastic surgery in the past two decades. Here, the authors report the retrospective comparison of patients who underwent fractionated fat injection to blend the lid-cheek junction with those who had regular fat injection. METHODS After obtaining institutional review board approval, a retrospective review of patients who underwent lower blepharoplasty with fractionated fat injection for blending the lid-cheek junction from January of 2014 through October of 2015 was performed. The results were compared to those of lower blepharoplasty patients who did not have fractionated fat injected before January of 2014. Twelve prospectively selected patients underwent histopathologic and gene expression comparisons. RESULTS A comparison of complications between the two groups revealed no significant differences. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the two groups for sequelae of fractionated fat injection and regular fat injection. The gene expression analysis of the fractionated and regular fat did not show any difference between undifferentiated and differentiated cells. In addition, Oil Red O staining of the fractionated and regular fat after differentiation showed that cells from both fat groups differentiated equally well. CONCLUSIONS Fractionated fat injection appears to be a safe addition in blending the lid-cheek junction in the five-step lower blepharoplasty. There is no fat nodule formation with injection of fractionated fat injection compared with injection of regular fat performed superficially in the tear trough area. Contrary to what has previously been shown, the presence of viable cells in fractionated fat was noted. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, III.

Abstract
Atrophic rhinitis (AR) is a disease characterized by the extensive dilatation of the nasal cavity and atrophy of the mucosa, submucosa and bone tissue. Its etiological factors are unknown. There is not a satisfying treatment yet and the treatment of the functional impairment in the atrophic cells is still subject to investigation. The objective of this study is to determine at the histopathological level the possible effects of the submucosal fat injection in an experimental model of AR. 12 albino Wistar-Hannover male rats were included in the study. AR was induced with the Pasteurella multocida toxin, which was diluted with saline. As one of the rats died during the study, it was excluded from the evaluation. The right nasal cavities of all rats (11 nasal cavities) were defined as the control group (Group 1). Fat tissue obtained from the abdominal area was injected in the seven left nasal cavities (Group 2). All injections, which were done to the abdominal regions were also done in the left nasal cavities of the remaining four rats, which constituted the sham group (Group 3). After 14 days, all rats were decapitated and the squamous metaplasia and keratinization in the superficial epithelium, degeneration, vacuolar changes in the basal layer, congestion, inflammatory infiltration, vascular proliferation and glandular atrophy in the submucosa are histopathologically classified. The results were analyzed with statistical methods. Although glandular atrophy was significantly regressed in the fat injection group (Group 2) compared to other groups (p < 0.05), the remaining parameters did not show any significant difference among these three groups. The histopathological effect of the fat injection was modest. We concluded that fat injection treatment has no or at the most a very limited effect in the treatment of atrophic rhinitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although chemical antiseptics are the most basic measure to control wound infection and frequently come into contact with subcutaneous adipose tissue, no studies have evaluated their toxicity on adipose tissue and its cell fractions. In the present study, the effects of five different antiseptics on adipose-derived stem cells were evaluated. METHODS Human adipose-derived stem cells were harvested from healthy donors. Adipose-derived stem cell viability was measured after treatment with different concentrations of antiseptics over 5 days. Furthermore, the effect on the proliferation, adipogenic differentiation, and apoptosis/necrosis of adipose-derived stem cells was analyzed. Finally, the mRNA expression of the stem cell markers CD29, CD34, CD73, CD90, and CD105 was detected. RESULTS Octenisept and Betaisodona significantly reduced cell proliferation and differentiation and led to considerable adipose-derived stem cell necrosis. Octenisept decreased stem cell viability at the lowest concentrations tested, and all stem cell markers were down-regulated by Octeniseptr and Betaisodona. Lavasept and Prontosan both led to reduced stem cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation, and increased apoptosis/necrosis, although the effects were less pronounced compared with Octenisept and Betaisodona. Adipose-derived stem cells survived treatment with mafenide acetate even at high concentrations, and mafenide acetate showed minimal negative effects on their proliferation, adipogenic differentiation, cell death, and stem cell marker expression. CONCLUSIONS Mafenide acetate may be regarded as a feasible antiseptic for the treatment of wounds with exposed adipose tissue because of its low adipose-derived stem cell toxicity. Lavasept and Prontosan are possible alternatives to mafenide acetate. Octenisept and Betaisodona, by contrast, may be used only in highly diluted solutions.

Wang WZ. Microcirculatory Response In Vivo on Local Intraarterial Infusion of Autogenic Adipose-derived Stem Cells or Stromal Vascular Fraction. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2016; 4:e1067. [PMID: 27757364 PMCID: PMC5055030 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000001067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2016] [Accepted: 08/12/2016] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Both adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) have been demonstrated to have regenerative properties with therapeutic potential for numerous diseases through local or topical applications. However, it is unclear whether ASC or SVF can be delivered systemically through an intra-arterial infusion. The purpose of this study was to examine the microcirculatory response in vivo on local intraarterial infusion of autogenic ASCs or SVF in a vascular pedicle isolated rat cremaster microcirculation model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fat tissue was surgically harvested from the flanks of male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 12) and processed for SVF isolation. Some SVF samples were cultured for 24 hours for ASC purification. The autogenic SVF (1 × 105) cells (n = 6) or purified ASC (1 × 105) cells (n = 6) cells were infused into the microcirculation of cremaster muscle at a speed of 0.05 mL/min through the cannulation of femoral artery. As this is a vascular pedicle isolated preparation, the infused SVF or ASC cells went nowhere but the cremaster muscle. The video image of the microcirculation was monitored in real time during infusion. RESULTS Arteriole diameter was measured as A1 (100-160 µm), A2 (40-80 µm), and A3/A4 (10-30 µm). Capillary perfusion was quantified in 18 capillary fields of each muscle. There was a significant increase in the diameter of terminal arterioles (P = 0.049) and the capillary density (P = 0.02) after ASC intraarterial infusion. However, a significant cell aggregation, embolisms, and arterial obstruction were observed in the microcirculation in every case during SVF infusion. CONCLUSIONS Intraarterial infusion is an appropriate route for the delivery of autogenic ASCs, but not of SVF. SVF-induced microembolisms were the reason for narrowing or blocking the lumen of terminal arterioles, resulting in no flow in the corresponding capillaries.

Tumescent Liposuction without Lidocaine. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2016; 4:e829.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our previous study demonstrated that lidocaine has a negative impact on adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) survival. Currently for large-volume liposuction, patients often undergo general anesthesia; therefore, lidocaine subcutaneous anesthesia is nonessential. We hypothesized that removing lidocaine from tumescent might improve stromal vascular fraction (SVF) and ASC survival from the standard tumescent with lidocaine. Ropivacaine is also a commonly used local anesthetic. The effect of ropivacaine on ASC survival was examined. METHODS Adults who underwent liposuction on bilateral body areas were included (n = 10). Under general anesthesia, liposuction on 1 area was conducted under standard tumescent with lidocaine. On the contralateral side, liposuction was conducted under the modified tumescent without lidocaine. Five milliliters of lipoaspirate were processed for the isolation of SVF. The adherent ASCs were counted after 24 hours of SVF culture. Apoptosis and necrosis of SVF cells were examined by Annexin/propidium iodide staining and analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Average percentage of live SVF cells was 68.0% ± 4.0% (28.5% ± 3.8% of apoptosis and 3.4% ± 1.0% of necrosis) in lidocaine group compared with 86.7% ± 3.7% (11.5% ± 3.1% of apoptosis and 1.8% ± 0.7% of necrosis) in no-lidocaine group (P = 0.002). Average number of viable ASC was also significantly lower (367,000 ± 107) in lidocaine group compared with that (500,000 ± 152) in no-lidocaine group (P = 0.04). No significant difference was found between lidocaine and ropivacaine on ASC cytotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS Removing lidocaine from tumescent significantly reduced SVF and ASC apoptosis in the lipoaspirate. We recommend tumescent liposuction without lidocaine, particularly if patient's lipoaspirate will be used for fat grafting.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases are an increasing phenomenon in western countries and in growing populations. The physiopathology of these conditions is linked to intestinal stem cells homeostasis and regenerative potential in a chronic inflammatory microenvironment. Patients with IBD present an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC), or colitis associated cancer (CAC). Conventional treatment for IBD target the inflammatory process (and include anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs) with biological agents emerging as a therapeutic approach for non-responders to traditional therapy. Conventional treatment provides scarce results and present severe complications. The intestinal environment may host incoming stem cells, able to engraft in the epithelial damaged sites and differentiate. Therefore, stem cell therapies represent an emerging alternative in inflammatory bowel diseases, with current investigations on the use of haematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells, in particular adipose stem cells, apparently fundamental as regenerators and as immune-modulators. Here, we discuss stem cells in intestinal homeostasis and as therapeutic agents for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the present study, the authors hypothesized that adipose-derived stem cells in cell culture may secrete multiple cytokines in the supernatant, which might have a significant impact in vivo on the reperfusion-induced microcirculatory alterations and endothelial dysfunction. METHODS Fat tissue was surgically harvested from rat flanks and processed for adipose-derived stem cell isolation; cells (1 × 10(6)) were subcultured for 3, 6, 9, and 12 days without passage. The postcultivated medium was harvested with medium change every 3 days. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected and stored at -20°C. Supernatant collected on day 9 was analyzed for eight oxidative stress cytokines by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay strip. The effect of the supernatant on the reperfusion-induced microcirculatory alterations was examined in the vascular pedicle of isolated rat cremaster muscles subjected to 4 hours of ischemia followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. RESULTS Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay results demonstrated that adipose-derived stem cells produced several highly expressed cytokines in the supernatant. The average concentration of interleukin-6, in particular, was 5-fold higher compared with control. The reperfusion-induced vasospasm, arteriole stagnation, and the capillary no-reflow that often appear in the early phase of reperfusion were eliminated by adipose-derived stem cell supernatant. CONCLUSIONS Adipose-derived stem cells in cell culture display cytokine secretory properties that enable the cells to act through paracrine signaling. The supernatant even without cells could be used as a paracrine agent to interfere with the reperfusion-induced microcirculatory alterations and endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unpredictable survival rate of transplanted fat is an obstacle in application of fat grafting. Although recent researches have suggested that adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) could promote grafted fat survival, there has been seldom reports on tracing the dynamic change of grafted fat in vivo and on discussing interaction between transplanted SVFs and surrounding fat graft. METHODS Fat tissue and SVF separated from luciferase (Luc)-transgenic rats were applied for bioimaging analysis. The Luc-fat (0.2 mL) was subcutaneously injected into the back of nude mice with or without SVFs from 0.2 mL wild type rat fat, with bioimaging at 63 days. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to evaluate the structural integrity. Moreover, to evaluate the influence of surrounding fat tissue to transplanted SVFs, Luc-SVFs separated from 0.2 mL luciferase fat were transplanted to evaluate the influence of surrounding fat tissue to transplanted SVFs. RESULTS The bioimaging results showed that fat tissues transplanted with SVFs had higher survival ratio than those transplanted without SVFs (49.99(5.38)% vs. 32.78(3.32)%; P < 0.001). Stromal vascular fraction-assisted fat grafts had more integral structure and less necrosis cysts. The results showed that, with the existence of grafted fat, transplanted SVF survived for a significantly longer time and could contribute to fat graft survival and regeneration by differentiating into structural cells. CONCLUSION The results showed that SVF-assisted fat graft had significantly higher survival rate than that transplanted alone. Moreover, our research demonstrated that interaction between grafted fat and SVFs was important in SVF's long-term living and differentiation.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is increasingly used to treat numerous human malignancies. In addition to the beneficial anti-cancer effects, there are a series of undesirable effects on normal host tissues surrounding the target tumor. While the early effects of radiotherapy (desquamation, erythema, and hair loss) typically resolve, the chronic effects persist as unpredictable and often troublesome sequelae of cancer treatment, long after oncological treatment has been completed. Plastic surgeons are often called upon to treat the problems subsequently arising in irradiated tissues, such as recurrent infection, impaired healing, fibrosis, contracture, and/or lymphedema. Recently, it was anecdotally noted - then validated in more robust animal and human studies - that fat grafting can ameliorate some of these chronic tissue effects. Despite the widespread usage of fat grafting, the mechanism of its action remains poorly understood. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of: (i) mechanisms of chronic radiation injury and its clinical manifestations; (ii) biological properties of fat grafts and their key constituent, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs); and (iii) the role of ADSCs in radiotherapy-induced soft-tissue injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose for the present study was to determine which anesthetic method, local anesthesia versus tumescent, is superior for liposuction in terms of adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) survival in lipoaspirate; which component, lidocaine versus lidocaine with epinephrine, in anesthetic solutions could affect ASC survival; and which mechanism, necrosis versus apoptosis, is involved in lidocaine-induced ASC death. METHODS Human lipoaspirates were harvested using standard liposuction technique. Individuals scheduled for liposuction on bilateral body areas gave consent and were included in the study. On one area, liposuction was conducted under local anesthesia with lidocaine/epinephrine. On the contralateral area, liposuction was accomplished with tumescent wetting solution containing lidocaine/epinephrine. Lipoaspirates were processed for the isolation of stromal vascular fraction (SVF). ASC survival was determined by the number of adherent ASCs after 24 h of SVF culture. Lidocaine dose-response (with or without epinephrine) on cultured ASCs was examined. Lidocaine-induced ASC apoptosis and necrosis was determined by Annexin V-FITC/Propidium Iodide (PI) assay and analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS All of the participants were female adults. The average age was 45 ± 4.0 years (±SEM) and the average BMI was 28 ± 1.0 (±SEM). Lipoaspirate samples (n = 14) treated by local anesthesia (n = 7/group) or tumescent anesthesia (n = 7/group) were investigated. Liposuction sites were located in the hip or thigh. The average number of adherent ASCs was 1,057 ± 146 k in the local anesthesia group, which was significantly lower than the 1,571 ± 111 k found in the tumescent group (P = 0.01). ASC survival was significantly lower in the lidocaine group and in a dose-dependent manner as compared to the correspondent PBS controls (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). ASC survival was significantly lower in both the lidocaine and lidocaine with epinephrine groups when compared to PBS controls. Annexin/PI assay showed that ASC apoptosis (but not necrosis) in the lidocaine group was significantly higher than that in the corresponding PBS control (P = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS Tumescent anesthesia is the superior method for liposuction with respect to ASC preservation compared to local anesthesia. Lidocaine could cause significant ASC apoptosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is growing interest in the potential use of autologous fat grafting (AFG) for the purposes of breast reconstruction. However, concerns have been raised regarding the technique's clinical effectiveness, safety and interference with screening mammography. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the oncological, clinical, aesthetic and functional, patient reported, process and radiological outcomes for AFG. METHODS AND ANALYSIS All original studies, including randomised controlled trials, cohorts studies, case-control studies, case series and case reports involving women undergoing breast reconstruction. All AFG techniques performed for the purposes of reconstruction in the postmastectomy or breast conserving surgery setting will be considered. Outcomes are defined within this protocol along; oncological, clinical, aesthetic and functional, patient reported, process and radiological domains. The search strategy has been devised to find papers about 'fat grafting and breast reconstruction' and is outlined within the body of this protocol. The full search strategy is outlined within the body of the protocol. The following electronic databases will be searched from 1 January 1986 to 6 June 2013: PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SciELO, The Cochrane Library, including the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effect (DARE), the Cochrane Methodology Register, Health Technology Assessment Database, the NHS Economic Evaluation Databases and Cochrane Groups, ClinicalTrials.gov, Current Controlled Trials Database, the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, UpToDate.com, NHS Evidence and the York Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. Grey literature searches will also be conducted as detailed in our review protocol. Eligibility assessment occurred in two stages, title and abstract screening and then full text assessment. Data were extracted and stored in a database with standardised extraction fields to facilitate easy and consistent data entry. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. It will also be presented at national and international conferences in the fields of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery and at more general surgical and methodological conferences. It will be disseminated electronically and in print.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafting has gained popularity, particularly with the discovery of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC). The possibility of freezing lipoaspirates (LA) for later use has intriguing clinical potential. However, the effect of LA cryopreservation on ADSC is unclear. OBJECTIVES The authors explore the effect of LA cryopreservation on ADSC viability. METHODS Human LA (n = 8) were harvested using a standard technique. Lipoaspirate samples were either processed immediately as fresh LA (A) or stored at -20°C and then at -80°C for 30 days with (B) or without (C) freezing medium. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was separated from adipocytes and either cultured to obtain purified ADSC or processed for the isolation of 3 distinct ADSC subpopulations (CD90(+)/CD45(-), CD105(+)/CD45(-), and CD34(+)/CD31(-)). Apoptosis and necrosis were determined by an annexin V/propidium iodide assay and quantified by flow cytometry. The capability of ADSC for long-term proliferation and differentiation was also examined. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the apoptosis and necrosis of adipocytes, SVF, or ADSC between groups A and B. However, cell viability in SVF and ADSC was significantly compromised in group C as compared with group B (P < .01) due to higher ADSC apoptosis but not necrosis. The viable ADSC isolated from fresh or frozen LA were cultured for more than 20 passages and demonstrated similar patterns and speed of proliferation with strong capability to differentiate, evidenced by cell doubling time and positive staining with Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Missouri) and alkaline phosphatase. CONCLUSIONS Lipoaspirates cryopreservation had a significant impact on ADSC apoptosis but not on ADSC necrosis, proliferation, or differentiations. Freezing medium provides significant protection against ADSC apoptosis.
