Abstract
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) mesh implants containing collagen sponge (CS) were replaced with autologous adipose tissue regeneration in vivo. Herein, we investigated the optimal external frames and internal fillings using poly (lactic-co-ε-caprolactone) (P (LA/CL)), PLLA, and low-molecular-weight PLLA (LMW-PLLA) as the external frame and polyglycolic acid (PGA) nanosheets and CS as the internal filling. We prepared six implants: P (LA/CL) with PGA nano, PLLA with PGA nano, PLLA with CS, PLLA with 1/2 CS, PLLA with 1/4 CS, and LMW-PLLA with CS, and evaluated adipogenesis at 6 and 12 months using a rat inguinal model. The internal spaces in the P (LA/CL) and LMW-PLLA implants collapsed at 6 months, whereas those in the other four implants collapsed at 12 months. Adipose tissue regeneration was not significantly different between the PLLA-implanted groups at 6 and 12 months and was greater than that in the P (LA/CL) with PGA nano and LMW-PLLA with CS groups. The PGA nanosheet inside PLLA was comparable to the CS inside PLLA in the regeneration of adipose tissue and macrophage infiltration. In summary, PLLA is a promising external frame material in which the internal space can be replaced with adipose tissue. Thus, PGA nanosheets are an alternative internal filling material for adipose tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common benign vascular tumors of infancy. IHs tend to grow in the first few months of life and then gradually involute over years, often leaving fibrofatty residua or textural changes in their place. Classically, these lesions are painless throughout their entire natural history; however, we now report on seven patients with involuted IH with intermittent but persistent sensory symptoms. METHODS This is a multicenter case series in which members of the Birthmarks Focused Study Group of the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance (PeDRA) and the Hemangioma Investigator Group contributed patients with IH and dysesthesias from their clinical practices. Charts were then reviewed to document clinical details. RESULTS Seven patients were included, presenting at an average age of 14.6 years (range 3-48 years) for complaints related to discomfort in the region of involuted IH. The majority (6/7) reported pain or tenderness to the area. One patient reported pruritus. All patients reported intermittent symptoms. The length of symptoms ranged between 4 months and 5 years. Treatment was attempted in 5/7 patients. Ice, oral propranolol, topical capsaicin, and intralesional triamcinolone partially improved symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Persistent cutaneous dysesthesias were present in seven patients, in most cases many years after completion of involution. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the pathophysiology and optimal treatments for this IH complication.

Is Propranolol Safe and Effective for Outpatient Use for Infantile Hemangioma? A Prospective Study of 679 Cases From One Center in China. Ann Plast Surg 2017; 76:559-63.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The protocol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma with propranolol varies among different clinical centers. METHODS Six hundred seventy-nine patients who were 1 to 12 months old were recruited in this prospective study to receive propranolol treatment. The response to the propranolol therapy was classified as 4 levels. The results were primarily evaluated using color Doppler ultrasound examinations before and after propranolol treatment. RESULTS The response was excellent in 176 (25.9%), good in 492 (72.5%), stable in 5 (0.7%), and poor in 6 (0.9%) of the patients. The mean age at the initiation of the therapy was 3.3 months (range, 1 to 10.9 months) and the mean duration of the therapy was 7.1 months (range, 3-17 months). The mean duration of the follow-up time after the discontinuation of the therapy was 5.3 months (range, 3-17 months). Regrowth of the hemangioma was observed in 92 cases (13.5%). Seventy-nine (11.6%) of the parents complained of their child's minor discomfort during the therapy. CONCLUSIONS Propranolol (2 mg/kg per day) may significantly reduce the size of a hemangioma. As an outpatient therapy, propranolol was found to be safe for Chinese children and to have minor side effects.
