Using Biological Detergents and OPEN ACCESS Keywords • Acellular dermal matrix Enzymes Combinations • Decellularization • Rabbit Sanjay Purohit, Naveen Kumar*, Ashok Kumar Sharma, and Anil • Pig Kumar Sharma • Goat • Sheep Division of Surgery, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, India • Buffalo Abstract Decellularized tissues have been successfully used in a variety of tissue engineering/ regenerative medicine applications, and the decellularization methods vary as widely as the tissues of interest. The efficiency of cell removal from a tissue is dependent on the origin of the tissue and the specific physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods that are used. Each of these treatments affect the biochemical composition, tissue ultrastructure, and mechanical behavior of the remaining extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, which in turn, affect the host response to the material. We have optimized the protocols for making acellular dermal matrix from rabbit, pig, goat, and sheep and buffalo skin using different combinations of ionic and non-ionic biological detergents. INTRODUCTION Any processing step intended to remove cells will alter the native three-dimensional architecture of the ECM. The most Biologic scaffolds derived from decellularized tissues and commonly utilized methods for decellularization of tissues involve organs have been successfully used in both pre-clinical animal a combination of physical and chemical treatments.

    4 Case Report Page 1 of 4 Revision tracheobronchoplasty: case report Ammara A. Watkins, Jennifer L. Wilson, Mihir Parikh, Adnan Majid, Sidhu P. Gangadharan Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA Correspondence to: Sidhu P. Gangadharan, MD. Chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 185 Pilgrim Rd. W/DC 201 Boston, MA 02215, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheobronchoplasty, or posterior splinting of the airway with mesh, is a durable solution for patients with severe tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). Recurrent symptoms of TBM following tracheobronchoplasty are uncommon; however, when they occur can have significant impact on quality of life. Appropriate management of recurrent TBM requires a systematic and multidisciplinary collaborative approach. We present a patient with postoperative symptom recurrence requiring revisional tracheobronchoplasty to highlight the complexity of the disease’s presentation, workup and treatment.

Uvula is a small band of connective tissue, gland and small muscle fibers and is documented to be useful in speech, lubrication and central support of the palatopharyngeal arch during swallowing. Cultural practice of uvulectomy is very common in African countries as a treatment or prophylactic measure for chronic cough or frequent respiratory infection. Congenital absence of uvula is a rare condition and is also accompanied by other genetic abnormalities such as cleft lip or cleft palate. Case Report: This case report is based on an accidental finding in a 20-year-old African-American male who was acting as a standardized patient in a clinical course at a medical college.

Abstract There goes a famous saying - “We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals”. Now these animals help a man save his heart and vital organs through xenografts. The concept for xenograft is an explosive phenomenon in regenerative and tissue engineering. It has a wide application in many fields of medicine-Cardiology, Orthopedics, Dentistry, Gastrointestinology, Opthalmology and Dermatology. This comprehensive review presents in detail the current methods and procedures followed in the preparation of a xenograft.

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the Role of Tongue Reduction Surgery in Children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (2018)
    RESEARCH INSTITUTE Obstructive sleep apnea and the role of tongue reduction surgery in children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (2018) Christopher M. Cielo, Kelly A. Duffy, Aesha Vyas, Jesse A. Taylor, Jennifer M. Kalish Background Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) can be affected by a large tongue (macroglossia). Similar to other features of BWS, macroglossia can vary in severity between patients. Studies suggest that children with macroglossia are at an increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition that is also highly variable, ranging from mild sleep obstruction to severe respiratory distress. No recommendations regarding OSA management in patients with BWS and macroglossia exist. Purpose This article reviews all available evidence regarding children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) and macroglossia. The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and management strategies in this population are discussed. Findings Evaluations Children suspected of having BWS and macroglossia should receive the following evaluations. No clear guidelines exist for at what age children should be evaluated. • Clinical Genetics: Any child with a feature suggestive of BWS should be referred to a clinical geneticist, who can evaluate the patient and determine whether the patient meets criteria for a clinical diagnosis of BWS. • Plastic Surgery: Patients with macroglossia should be referred to a plastic surgeon, who can evaluate the size of the tongue to determine whether a tongue reduction surgery is necessary. • Pulmonology: A pulmonologist can evaluate the degree to which the large tongue affects breathing, as an increased tongue size can narrow the airway and cause upper airway obstruction. o Polysomnography (sleep study) is used for evaluation of OSA in children and has been used in certain studies of BWS children to detect the following: moderate- severe OSA, upper airway obstruction, apnea, upper airway resistance, severe desaturation, sleep-disordered breathing, and snoring.
