[PMID: 38418575 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-024-03895-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite high complication rates, patients persistently present for single-stage augmentation mastopexy. In empty, deflated breasts, we perform one-stage augmentation mastopexy; however, in heavy ptotic breasts, our preference is to stage the procedure with mastopexy and fat graft first. With volume from fat grafting focussing on the upper pole and cleavage areas, many of our patients avoid implants altogether. This reduces subsequent risks of waterfall deformity, implant displacement, rupture and a lifetime of implant exchanges. OBJECTIVES We aim to describe our findings and technique for reducing progression to the second stage of a two-stage augmentation mastopexy with the appropriate use of moderate to high volume of fat grafting at the primary operation. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients who presented to the senior author (KT) requesting breast implants and requiring mastopexy, from January 2018 to December 2022. RESULTS Over the five-year period, 137 patients were identified. Seventy-one (51.8%) underwent single-stage augmentation mastopexy, 55 (40.1%) underwent mastopexy with fat grafting and 11 (8.0%) underwent mastopexy with no fat grafting. Our key finding in this study is that 52 of 66 (78.8%) of planned staged patients, who underwent mastopexy with or without fat grafting, were happy with the volume attained and no longer wished to undergo further implant augmentation. CONCLUSION In selected patients, appropriate volume and position of fat grafting at the time of primary mastopexy can significantly obviate the need for a second stage implant (alloplastic) augmentation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis, predominantly of the knee, is a highly prevalent disease leading to pain, reduced quality of life, and significantly reduced ability to work. With autologous orthobiologic options, new regenerative treatment methods have emerged, offering an alternative to early surgical intervention. Supercharged Liparthroplasty combines arthroscopy with lipoaspirate and plasma infiltration of the joint. Lipoaspirate contains high levels of adipose-derived stem cells, which show chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory qualities. Intra-articular injection, combined with platelet-rich plasma administration for accelerated cartilage metabolism, thus provides an optional approach in osteoarthritis treatment. This article aims to provide in detail our regimen for Supercharged Liparthroplasty, including tissue harvesting and preparation of the injectables, therefore enabling physicians to adopt this point-of-care technique.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Autologous fat grafting is still an evolving technique. Researchers have attempted to increase the survival rate of grafts by concentrating adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). In this study, we investigate a novel method that combines ultrasonic processing and centrifugation to generate small fat particles termed concentrated ultrasound-processed fat (CUPF) for grafting. METHODS The standard approach for obtaining CUPF is described. The properties of processed fat, including CUPF, microfat, centrifuged fat, and nanofat, were investigated using histological observation. Comparative analyses were conducted on the cell number, viability, and immunophenotypic profile of stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs). Cultured ASCs were evaluated for cell proliferation and adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic potential. The processed fats were transplanted and evaluated using in vivo and histological studies. RESULTS Compared with microfat, centrifuged fat, and nanofat, CUPF had a condensed tissue content and higher concentration of viable cells in a small tissue structure and could smoothly pass through a 27-gauge cannula. In the CUPF group, SVFs were isolated in great numbers, with high viability and a high proportion of CD29- and CD105-positive cells. ASCs from the CUPF group exhibited high proliferation and multilineage differentiation potential. The grafts from the CUPF group were well preserved, and histological quantification revealed an increase in the abundance of Ki67- and CD31-positive cells in the tissue. CONCLUSIONS Our study established a new fat processing strategy that combines ultrasonic processing and centrifugation to harvest small particle grafts named CUPF. CUPF concentrated a large number of ASCs and has great potential for regenerative therapy.

Abstract
The popularity of autologous fat grafts has increased for the reshaping, contouring, and augmentation of the male breast tissue. However, long-term maintenance of tissue viability and the ways for assessment serve as hot-spot topics in the field. This study was designed to evaluate the viability of fat grafts obtained by a vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER)-assisted lipoaspiration procedure using a magnetic resonance imaging-based approach. Methods This is a prospective examination of 20 male patients (40 breasts) who underwent VASER-assisted liposuction and fat grafting surgery, and long-term fat graft viability was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging scans. Results Participants had an average age of 34.85 ± 7.37 years with a mean BMI of 26.73 ± 2.63 kg/m2. The mean fat graft volume injected was 542.63 ± 144.78 mL on the right, and 548.95 ± 140.36 mL on the left side. On the magnetic resonance imaging follow-up, the mean intrapectoral adipose tissue thickness was 20.34 ± 6.31 mm on the right, and 18.94 ± 8.27 mm on the left sides and tissue viability was preserved in all cases. The mean follow-up duration was 22 ± 9.8 (range 14-44) months. Conclusion VASER-assisted lipoaspiration and autologous fat grafting of the major pectoralis muscle provide a satisfactory outcome and long-term maintenance of the grafted adipose tissue.

Abstract
Background: Large bone defects resulting from trauma and diseases still a great challenge for the surgeons. Exosomes modified tissue engineering scaffolds are one of the promising cell-free approach for repairing the defects. Despite extensive knowledge of the variety kinds of exosomes promote tissue regeneration, little is known of the effect and mechanism for the adipose stem cells-derived exosomes (ADSCs-Exos) on bone defect repair. This study aimed to explore whether ADSCs-Exos and ADSCs-Exos modified tissue engineering scaffold promotes bone defects repair. Material/Methods: ADSCs-Exos were isolated and identified by transmission electron microscopy nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blot. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were exposed to ADSCs-Exos. The CCK-8 assay, scratch wound assay, alkaline phosphatase activity assay, and alizarin red staining were used to evaluate the proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Subsequently, a bio-scaffold, ADSCs-Exos modified gelatin sponge/polydopamine scaffold (GS-PDA-Exos), were prepared. After characterized by scanning electron microscopy and exosomes release assay, the repair effect of the GS-PDA-Exos scaffold on BMSCs and bone defects was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Results: The diameter of ADSCs-exos is around 122.1 nm and high expressed exosome-specific markers CD9 and CD63. ADSCs-Exos promote the proliferation migration and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. ADSCs-Exos was combined with gelatin sponge by polydopamine (PDA)coating and released slowly. After exposed to the GS-PDA-Exos scaffold, BMSCs have more calcium nodules with osteoinductive medium and higher expression the mRNA of osteogenic related genes compared with other groups. The quantitative analysis of all micro-CT parameters showed that GS-PDA-Exos scaffold promote new bone formed in the femur defect model in vivo and confirmed by histological analysis. Conclusion: This study demonstrates the repair efficacy of ADSCs-Exos in bone defects, ADSCs-Exos modified scaffold showing a huge potential in the treatment of large bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The presence of obesity with dyslipidemia is a worldwide health problem and one of the major risks for cardiovascular diseases. The metabolic effects of liposuction are being investigated in terms of insulin resistance and reducing cholesterol levels. We aimed to examine the metabolic effects of Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (VASER®)-assisted liposuction on the lipid profiles of overweight patients. METHODS Eighteen patients who underwent VASER®-assisted liposuction were investigated in terms of changes in lipid profiles. The total cholesterol (Total-C), triglycerides (TGs), Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were measured enzymatically. We also calculated Non-HDL Cholesterol levels and Total Cholesterol/HDL Cholesterol ratios. RESULTS We observed that Total-C (p ≤ 0.0001), LDL-C (p ≤ 0.0001), TGs (p = 0.0004), Non-HDL-C levels (p ≤ 0.0001) and Total-C/HDL-C ratios (p ≤ 0.0001) decreased on the third month after VASER®-assisted liposuction. CONCLUSION We conclude that VASER®-assisted liposuction could be beneficial to regulate lipid metabolism. Especially, decrements of Non-HDL Cholesterol and Total-C/HDL-C ratio could be protective against cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The introduction of third-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction (3rd UAL) allows for a less invasive modality of both deep and superficial lipectomy while offering improved skin retraction and reduced rate of complications. This study examined the efficacy and safety profile of this technology over 15 years of clinical experience. METHODS A consecutive series of patients treated from 2005-2020 by the senior author were reviewed for demographic and anthropometric measurements, intraoperative settings, surgical outcomes, and complications via retrospective chart review. Body-Q survey was used to assess patient satisfaction. RESULTS A total of 261 patients underwent 3rd UAL in 783 areas. There were 238 female and 23 male patients with an average age of 43.5 years and BMI of 27.4 kg/m2. The most frequently treated areas were the trunk and lower limbs. An average of 2840 mL of wetting solution was used with an average of 2284 mL of lipocrit aspirate. About 65% of the cases were done in conjunction with another procedure. Overall complication rate was 4.6%, contour irregularity (1.9%), seroma (0.8%), cellulitis (0.8%), pigmentation changes (0.4%), and electrolyte imbalance (0.4%), with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. 78% of patient would undergo the procedure again and 86% would recommend it. CONCLUSION Third-generation ultrasound-assisted liposuction can be used effectively and safely, either alone, or in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures. VASER liposuction allows surgeons to address superficial fat plane and enhanced skin tightening. Rate of complications are lower than that of traditional liposuction with equivalent or higher patient satisfaction.

Abstract
MSCs products as well as their derived extracellular vesicles, are currently being explored as advanced biologics in cell-based therapies with high expectations for their clinical use in the next few years. In recent years, various strategies designed for improving the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), including pre-conditioning for enhanced cytokine production, improved cell homing and strengthening of immunomodulatory properties, have been developed but the manufacture and handling of these cells for their use as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) remains insufficiently studied, and available data are mainly related to non-industrial processes. In the present article, we will review this topic, analyzing current information on the specific regulations, the selection of living donors as well as MSCs from different sources (bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, etc.), in-process quality controls for ensuring cell efficiency and safety during all stages of the manual and automatic (bioreactors) manufacturing process, including cryopreservation, the use of cell banks, handling medicines, transport systems of ATMPs, among other related aspects, according to European and US legislation. Our aim is to provide a guide for a better, homogeneous manufacturing of therapeutic cellular products with special reference to MSCs.

The Effect of Ultrasonic Liposuction Energy Levels on Fat Graft Viability. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2022; 46:2509-2516.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of fat obtained from ultrasound-assisted liposuction is popular. However, no study has considered the effect of different energy levels on fat grafts. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that different ultrasonic energy levels could change the fat graft viability. METHODS Both flanks of 15 CD1 nude mice (30 experimental areas) were used, with experimental areas randomly distributed into five groups. Using different energy settings, fat grafts were obtained from a patient's abdominoplasty material and applied to the mouse flank regions. Device settings were intermittent mode with 50% vibration amplitude in group 1, continuous mode with 50% vibration amplitude in group 2, intermittent mode with 90% vibration amplitude in group 3, and continuous mode with 90% vibration amplitude in group 4. The control group was grafted with fat obtained via the conventional method. After 6 weeks, all mice were sacrificed, and fat grafts were excised. Sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson's trichrome, and anti-perilipin A antibody. RESULTS The perilipin A immunostaining result was lowest in group 4, indicating the lowest viable cell count (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between groups for the other parameters (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION High ultrasonic energy may affect fat graft survival. If fat injection is planned, avoiding high energy settings (our recommendation is not to exceed 16 Watts.) should be considered. We also recommend increasing the vibration amplitude rather than switching from intermittent to continuous mode in body parts that are relatively resistant to liposuction.

Background Laser‐assisted liposuction using 1470‐nm radial fiber emits light energy preferentially absorbed by water, yielding a rapid and localized contouring and tightening effect, with minimal scarring. When collected under appropriate conditions, extracted fat samples can be exploited as autologous filling material in liposculpturing procedures. Objectives To assess the 6‐month contouring efficacy of 1470 radial fiber‐assisted liposuction and the volumetric enhancement effect of the harvested tissue in facial fat grafting. Methods Twenty subjects underwent liposuction (BeautiFill, Alma Lasers, Inc.) of lower abdominal or outer thigh fat. In seven subjects, harvested samples were grafted into facial regions. Treatment safety, body weight, blinded evaluator‐assessed aesthetic improvements, and subject‐rated satisfaction were monitored for 6 months. Abdominal and facial fat thickness were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (n = 5) within 3 months of treatment. Results One‐month posttreatment, most subjects ranked improvements good/excellent (88%) and skin tightening satisfactory/very satisfactory (92%), with >70% of subjects providing similar scores 6‐month posttreatment. Blinded evaluators noted improved/very much improved aesthetic appearance (87%). Harvested tissue injected as a facial filler (21.0 ± 5.2 ml) led to a 0.63 ± 0.12 mm increase in facial fat thickness, observed by MRI, within 3 months. Six months postfilling, the majority of subjects (83%) were satisfied with the outcome. All procedures were well‐tolerated. Conclusions A single 1470 nm radial fiber‐assisted abdominal and thigh liposuction session provided for effective and durable reduction of adipose tissue deposits, with appreciable skin tightening and aesthetic improvements. The gentle harvesting method yielded viable filler material, which was well‐retained in facial regions for up to 6 months.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have great capacity for immune regulation. MSCs provide protective paracrine effects, which are partially exerted by extracellular vesicles (EVs). It has been reported that MSCs-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) contain soluble factors, such as cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and even microRNAs, which confer them similar anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects to MSCs. Moreover, MSCs modulate microglia activation through a dual mechanism of action that relies both on cell contact and secreted factors. Microglia cells are the central nervous system immune cells and the main mediators of the inflammation leading to neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we investigated whether MSC-EVs affect the activation of microglia cells by β-amyloid aggregates. We show that the presence of MSC-EVs can prevent the upregulation of pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and nitric oxide (NO). Both are up-regulated in neurodegenerative diseases representing chronic inflammation, as in Alzheimer’s disease. We demonstrate that MSC-EVs are internalized by the microglia cells. Further, our study supports the use of MSC-EVs as a promising therapeutic tool to treat neuroinflammatory diseases. Significance Statement It has been reported that mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and MSC-derived small extracellular vesicles have therapeutic effects in the treatment of various degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Extracellular vesicles are loaded with proteins, lipids and RNA and act as intercellular communication mediators. Here we show that extracellular vesicles can be taken up by murine microglial cells. In addition, they partially reduce the activation of microglial cells against β-amyloid aggregates. This inhibition of microglia activation may present an effective strategy for the control/therapy of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the characteristics and deficiencies of various liposuction methods to provide reference for choosing more suitable liposuction in clinic and ideas for the improvement and development of liposuction equipment. METHODS The literature related to liposuction in recent years was consulted, and the principle, indications as well as existing problems were reviewed. RESULTS Liposuction can be divided into two categories according to the principles of fat separation. The first type relies on physical cutting to separate fat, including suction-assisted liposuction (SAL), power-assisted liposuction (PAL), and water-assisted liposuction (WAL). SAL and PAL are simple to operate and low in price, but the effect of liposuction mainly depends on the experience of the surgeon, and complications such as uneven appearance, hematoma, and ecchymosis may occur. WAL saves time and effort, but has lower cost performance. The second type relies on energy destruction to separate fat, including ultrasound-assisted liposuction, laser-assisted liposuction, and radiofrequency-assisted liposuction. This type of surgery has the advantages of less trauma, fast postoperative recovery, and skin tightening. However, the equipment is more expensive, and has a risk of skin burns. CONCLUSION Liposuction can effectively reduce local fat accumulation, but it still has limitations. Equipment improvement and fat transplantation are important directions for liposuction's future development.

Abstract
Intrauterine adhesion refers to endometrial repair disorders which are usually caused by uterine injury and may lead to a series of complications such as abnormal menstrual bleeding, recurrent abortion and secondary infertility. At present, therapeutic approaches to intrauterine adhesion are limited due to the lack of effective methods to promote regeneration following severe endometrial injury. Therefore, to develop new methods to prevent endometrial injury and intrauterine adhesion has become an urgent need. For severely damaged endometrium, the loss of stem cells in the endometrium may affect its regeneration. This article aimed to discuss the characteristics of various stem cells and their applications for uterine tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, there has been increasing research interest in identifying the effect of liposuction procedures on fat graft survival in order to clarify whether different harvest techniques affect the quality of fat grafts. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 2 liposuction methods on the survival and regeneration potential of grafted fat tissue. The proliferation and differentiation potentials of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) isolated by both methods was also investigated. METHODS Fat grafts were collected from patients who underwent liposuction procedures by 2 different methods: traditional suction-assisted liposuction (TSAL) and vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance (VASER). One portion of the lipoaspirates was implanted into the subcutaneous layer of nu mice for 4 and 12 weeks. ASCs were isolated from the other portion of the lipoaspirate and subjected to proliferation and differentiation assays. RESULTS Although in vivo fat grafting presented similar adipose tissue survival for the 2 different liposuction methods, more angiogenesis and less fibrosis was observed in the VASER group based on histologic evaluation. Furthermore, VASER-derived ASCs presented better quality in terms of cell differentiation capacity. CONCLUSIONS The in vivo study confirmed better graft angiogenesis with less inflammation, apoptosis, and scar formation in the VASER group. ASCs harvested with VASER exhibited increased differentiation capacity compared with those obtained by TSAL, and represent an excellent source for fat grafting and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic method in regenerative medicine. Our previous research adopted a simple nonenzymatic strategy for the preparation of a new type of ready-to-use infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) cell concentrates. The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of intra-articular (IA) injection of autologous IPFP cell concentrates and allogeneic IPFP-MSCs obtained from these concentrates in a rabbit articular cartilage defect model. IPFP-MSCs sprouting from the IPFP cell concentrates were characterized via flow cytometry as well as based on their potential for differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. In the rabbit model, cartilage defects were created on the trochlear groove, followed by treatment with IPFP cell concentrates, IPFP-MSCs, or normal saline IA injection. Distal femur samples were evaluated at 6 and 12 weeks posttreatment via macroscopic observation and histological assessment based on the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) macroscopic scoring system as well as the ICRS visual histological assessment scale. The macroscopic score and histological score were significantly higher in the IPFP-MSC group compared to the IPFP cell concentrate group at 12 weeks. Further, both treatment groups had higher scores compared to the normal saline group. In comparison to the latter, the groups treated with IPFP-MSCs and IPFP cell concentrates showed considerably better cartilage regeneration. Overall, IPFP-MSCs represent an effective therapeutic strategy for stimulating articular cartilage regeneration. Further, due to the simple, cost-effective, nonenzymatic, and safe preparation process, IPFP cell concentrates may represent an effective alternative to stem cell-based therapy in the clinic.

Abstract
The autologous lipotransfer represents an established method in the field of Plastic Surgery. As a reliable and safe method for breast reconstruction and breast augmentation it offers an alternative to established methods such as implants and flap surgery.Survival rate of adipose derived stromal cells limits success or failure of fat grafting. Slight changes in the fat grafting process can lead to huge changes in ADSC-survival rate.This review wants to optimize the fat-grafting process to ensure best outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treating lower eyelid fat bulging with ultrasound-assisted lipolysis (UAL) by performing a preclinical evaluation of the procedure on a Yorkshire pig. METHODS Two white Yorkshire pigs had lower eyelid fat bulging treated with UAL using a probe with a diameter of 1.0 mm or less. Fourteen days after treatment, we evaluated the changes in fat thickness from ultrasound, changes in skin contour (volume and height) from the Antera 3D™, and the disruption of fat cells and changes in collagen synthesis from histological evaluation. RESULTS Fourteen days after treatment, the fat layer was significantly reduced with no damage to the skin surface. The mean change in the subcutaneous fat layer thickness was decreased 1.51-0.75 mm in ultrasound analysis. The skin contour of the treated area also decreased with time from 202.5 to 163.5 mm in mean volume and 0.8111 to 0.646 mm in mean height. Masson's trichrome staining showed that the UAL treatment induced the regeneration and remodeling of collagen. CONCLUSION The results of this study demonstrate that UAL successfully reduced the bulging lower eyelid fat of a Yorkshire pig and also increased collagen contraction to tighten skin. UAL may be a beneficial and well-tolerated treatment option for lower eyelid fat bulging.

Abstract
Importance Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) have been used commonly in regenerative medicine and increasingly for head and neck surgical procedures. Lipoaspiration with centrifugation is purported to be a mild method for the extraction of ASCs used for autologous transplants to restore tissue defects or induce wound healing. The content of ASCs, their paracrine potential, and cellular potential in wound healing have not been explored for this method to our knowledge. Objective To evaluate the characteristics of lipoaspirates used in reconstructive head and neck surgical procedures with respect to wound healing. Design, Setting, and Participants This case series study included 15 patients who received autologous fat injections in the head and neck during surgical procedures at a tertiary referral center. The study was performed from October 2017 to November 2018, and data were analyzed from October 2017 to February 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures Excessive material of lipoaspirates from subcutaneous abdominal fatty tissue was examined. Cellular composition was analyzed using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and flow cytometry, and functionality was assessed through adipose, osteous, and chondral differentiation in vitro. Supernatants were tested for paracrine ASC functions in fibroblast wound-healing assays. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay measurement of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), stromal-derived factor 1α (SDF-1α), and transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3) was performed. Results Among the 15 study patients (8 [53.3%] male; mean [SD] age at the time of surgery, 63.0 [2.8] years), the stromal vascular fraction (mean [SE], 53.3% [4.2%]) represented the largest fraction within the native lipoaspirates. The cultivated cells were positive for CD73 (mean [SE], 99.90% [0.07%]), CD90 (99.40% [0.32%]), and CD105 (88.54% [2.74%]); negative for CD34 (2.70% [0.45%]) and CD45 (1.74% [0.28%]) in flow cytometry; and negative for CD14 (10.56 [2.81] per 300 IHC score) and HLA-DR (6.89 [2.97] per 300 IHC score) in IHC staining; they differentiated into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. The cultivated cells showed high expression of CD44 (mean [SE], 99.78% [0.08%]) and CD273 (82.56% [5.83%]). The supernatants were negative for TNF (not detectable) and SDF-1α (not detectable) and were positive for VEGF (mean [SE], 526.74 [149.84] pg/mL for explant supernatants; 528.26 [131.79] pg/106 per day for cell culture supernatants) and TGF-β3 (mean [SE], 22.79 [3.49] pg/mL for explant supernatants; 7.97 [3.15] pg/106 per day for cell culture supernatants). Compared with control (25% or 50% mesenchymal stem cell medium), fibroblasts treated with ASC supernatant healed the scratch-induced wound faster (mean [SE]: control, 1.000 [0.160]; explant supernatant, 1.369 [0.070]; and passage 6 supernatant, 1.492 [0.094]). Conclusions and Relevance The cells fulfilled the international accepted criteria for mesenchymal stem cells. The lipoaspirates contained ASCs that had the potential to multidifferentiate with proliferative and immune-modulating properties. The cytokine profile of the isolated ASCs had wound healing-promoting features. Lipoaspirates may have a regenerative potential and an application in head and neck surgery. Level of Evidence NA.

Fibrin Glue Enhances Adipose-Derived Stromal Cell Cytokine Secretion and Survival Conferring Accelerated Diabetic Wound Healing. Stem Cells Int 2018; 2018:1353085.

Abstract
Introduction Although chronic wounds are a major personal and economic burden, treatment options are still limited. Among those options, adipose-derived stromal cell- (ASC-) based therapies rank as a promising approach but are restricted by the harsh wound environment. Here we use a commercially available fibrin glue to provide a deliverable niche for ASCs in chronic wounds. Material and Methods To investigate the in vitro effect of fibrin glue, cultivation experiments were performed and key cytokines for regeneration were quantified. By using an established murine chronic diabetic wound-healing model, we evaluated the influence of fibrin glue spray seeding on cell survival (In Vivo Imaging System, IVIS), wound healing (wound closure kinetics), and neovascularization of healed wounds (CD31 immunohistochemistry). Results Fibrin glue seeding leads to a significantly enhanced secretion of key cytokines (SDF-1, bFGF, and MMP-2) of human ASCs in vitro. IVIS imaging showed a significantly prolonged murine ASC survival in diabetic wounds and significantly accelerated complete wound closure in the fibrin glue seeded group. CD31 immunohistochemistry revealed significantly more neovascularization in healed wounds treated with ASCs spray seeded in fibrin glue vs. ASC injected into the wound bed. Conclusion Although several vehicles have shown to successfully act as cell carrier systems in preclinical trials, regulatory issues have prohibited clinical usage for chronic wounds. By demonstrating the ability of fibrin glue to act as a carrier vehicle for ASCs, while simultaneously enhancing cellular regenerative function and viability, this study is a proponent of clinical translation for ASC-based therapies.
