  • Long-Lasting Muscle Thinning Induced by Infrared Irradiation Specialized with Wavelengths and Contact Cooling: a Preliminary Report
    Long-Lasting Muscle Thinning Induced by Infrared Irradiation Specialized With Wavelengths and Contact Cooling: A Preliminary Report Yohei Tanaka, MD, Kiyoshi Matsuo, MD, PhD, and Shunsuke Yuzuriha, MD, PhD Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Matsumoto, Nagano 390-8621, Japan Correspondence: [email protected] Published May 28, 2010 Objective: Infrared (IR) irradiation specialized with wavelengths and contact cooling increases the amount of water in the dermis to protect the subcutaneous tissues against IR damage; thus, it is applied to smooth forehead wrinkles. However, this treatment consistently induces brow ptosis. Therefore, we investigated whether IR irradiation induces muscle thinning. Methods: Rat central back tissues were irradiated with the specialized IR device. Histological evaluation was performed on sagittal slices that included skin, panniculus carnosus, and deep muscles. Results: Significant reductions in panniculus carnosus thickness were observed between controls and irradiated tissues at postirradiation day 30 (P30), P60, P90, and P180; however, no reduction was observed in nonirradiated controls from days 0 to 180. No significant changes were observed in the trunk muscle over time. From day 0, dermal thickness was significantly reduced at P90 and P180; however, no difference was observed between P180 and nonirradiated controls at day 180. DNA degradation consistent with apoptosis was detected in the panniculus carnosus at P7 and P30. Conclusions: We found that IR irradiation induced long-lasting superficial muscle thinning, probably by a kind of apoptosis. The panniculus carnosus is equivalent to the superficial facial muscles of humans; thus, the changes observed here reflected those in the frontalis muscle that resulted in brow ptosis.

  • Research Techniques Made Simple: Animal Models of Wound Healing Ayman Grada1, Joshua Mervis2 and Vincent Falanga1
    RESEARCH TECHNIQUES MADE SIMPLE Research Techniques Made Simple: Animal Models of Wound Healing Ayman Grada1, Joshua Mervis2 and Vincent Falanga1 Animal models have been developed to study the complex cellular and biochemical processes of wound repair and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of potential therapeutic agents. Several factors can influence wound healing. These include aging, infection, medications, nutrition, obesity, diabetes, venous insufficiency, and peripheral arterial disease. Lack of optimal preclinical models that are capable of properly recapitulating human wounds remains a significant translational challenge. Animal models should strive for reproducibility, quan- titative interpretation, clinical relevance, and successful translation into clinical use. In this concise review, we discuss animal models used in wound experiments including mouse, rat, rabbit, pig, and zebrafish, with a special emphasis on impaired wound healing models.

  • Kelley and Loeb, 1939; Fessler, I4i Loeb, 7945; Barker, 1947), but They Have Been Handicapped by an Incomplete Knowledge of the Structure of Normal Skin
    PIGMENT SPREAD AND CELL HEREDITY IN GUINEA-PIGS' SKIN R. E. BILLINGHAM and P. B. MEDAWAR Department of Zoology, Birmingham University Received7.xi.47 I.INTRODUCTION THEphenomenon that forms the subject matter of this paper was first described by Carnot and Defiandre in. 1896 and independently confirmed by Leo Loeb in 1897. If black skin from a spotted guinea- pig is grafted to a white area on the same animal, the white skin surrounding the black graft blackens from its margin of contact radially outwards. Conversely, white skin grafted to a black area blackens from its periphery inwards. Desultory attempts have been made to interpret this phenomenon since its first description 50 years ago (Sale, 1913 ; Seelig, 1913 Seevers and Spencer, i 932 ; Saxton, Schmeckebier and Kelley, 1936; Lewin and Peck, 1941 ; Kelley and Loeb, 1939; Fessler, i4i Loeb, 7945; Barker, 1947), but they have been handicapped by an incomplete knowledge of the structure of normal skin. Billingham and Medawar (1947 a and b) found it possible to dispose of current theories about the nature of the blackening process and to suggest that it involves an infective cellular transformation, i.e. a conversion of cells of one true-breeding type into cells of another true-breeding type by a serially transmissible process formally similar to a virus infection. The object of this paper is to set out the evidence for this new theory in full. 2.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The four-striped mouse has a grey to brown coloured coat with four characteristic dark stripes interspersed with three lighter stripes running along its back. The histological differences in the skin of the juvenile and adult mouse were investigated by Haematoxylin and Eosin and Masson Trichrome staining, while melanocytes in the skin were studied through melanin-specific Ferro-ferricyanide staining. The ultrastructure of the juvenile skin, hair follicles, and melanocytes was also explored. In both the juvenile andadult four-striped mouse, pigment-containing cells were observed in the dermis and were homogeneously dispersed throughout this layer.Apartfromthesecells,thehistologyoftheskinoftheadult four-striped mouse was similar to normal mammalian skin. In the juvenile four-striped mouse, abundant hair follicles of varying sizes were observed in the dermis and hypodermis, while hair follicles of similar size were only present in the dermis of adult four-striped mouse.
