    English, Scientific journal, Objective: Drugs regulating hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α have not been investigated for wound healing in lymphedema. Therefore, we examined the effects of drug modulation of HIF-1α activity for wound healing in our previously developed mouse model of nonirradiated hind limb lymphedema. Approach: Mouse hind limb lymphedema models (n = 17) and a sham group (n = 6) were created using 8- to 10-week-old male C57BL/6N mice. Mice with hind limb lymphedema were randomized into experimental groups receiving roxadustat, 3-(5'-hydroxymethyl-2'-furyl)-1-benzylindazole (YC-1), or dimethyl sulfoxide and were given intraperitoneal injections every 2 days for up to 2 weeks. Four days after the surgery, an 8-mm diameter full-thickness skin wound was created in the hind limb. The number of days required for wound closure and the percentage of wounds closed were measured. Skin samples taken at wound creation were evaluated by histological and molecular analysis. Results: Administration of roxadustat accelerated wound healing, whereas YC-1 delayed it, with a significant decrease and increase in skin thickness, respectively. The relative mRNA expression of Hif1α, matrix metalloproteinase-3, and interleukin-6 was significantly higher in the roxadustat group and that of metalloproteinase-9 was significantly lower in the roxadustat group compared with the control group. Innovation: This study is the first to demonstrate delayed wound healing in a mouse model of hind limb lymphedema and the first to demonstrate the promotion of significant wound healing through the use of roxadustat. Conclusion: Roxadustat exerts wound-healing effects and may promote the regulation of extracellular matrix remodeling via gene expression in hind limb lymphedema wound models.

    Annals of Plastic Surgery, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 18 Oct. 2024
    Scientific journal, Background

    Reconstruction of the oral modiolus should be considered for facial defects involving the lip and cheek. We have performed free flap reconstruction using a novel technique that includes a vertical and a horizontal sling for full-thickness defects involving the oral commissure.

    Patients and Methods

    We used a free radial forearm flap and the palmaris longus tendon to correct lip and cheek defects in 6 patients (3 men, 3 women; age, 55–84 years). The tendon was divided into 2 portions for use as the double sling. One sling was used to connect the upper and lower stumps of the orbicularis oris in the vertical direction and the other to connect the vertical sling and masseter muscle. The outcomes assessed were esthetic appearance and functional results.

    Results

    The facial defects ranged in size from 3.0 cm × 4.0 cm to 7.0 cm × 6.0 cm and the mucosal defects from 1.5 cm × 4.0 cm to 6.5 cm × 5.0 cm. The length of the harvested tendon ranged from 11.5 to 13.5 cm. All flaps survived without complications. Good esthetic outcomes were achieved (excellent facial appearance, n = 1; no lip deviation or drooping, n = 5). Functionally, all patients had acceptable mouth opening and were able to eat a regular diet.

    Conclusions

    Good physiological and functional results can be achieved using a double tendon sling for reconstruction of the modiolus in patients with full-thickness defects involving the oral commissure.

    Scientific journal, Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are vital for managing severe heart failure in transplant-ineligible patients, but device exposure and infection pose significant challenges. This report details a 42-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and bronchial asthma who presented with an externalized LVAD following a HeartMate II to HeartMate III exchange due to malfunction. Our tailored surgical strategy treated the LVAD driveline and main body as two distinct parts. This distinction is crucial, as major upstream infections typically originate from the driveline. We applied flaps to these parts for different purposes, maximizing their unique characteristics. The omental flap, chosen for its flexibility, blood supply, and immunological activation upon foreign body contact, covered the driveline. The latissimus dorsi flap provided vascularity and mechanical protection for the LVAD. Additionally, we review the omentum's basic physiological aspects, which are often unfamiliar to clinicians. Infection has not recurred in 6 months postoperatively, demonstrating the approach's effectiveness.

    Scientific journal, Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have expanded therapeutic options for advanced malignancies, offering new hope for conditions once deemed untreatable. However, the advent of ICIs has introduced a spectrum of immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), a rare but significant complication. This case report describes development of LCV after treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab in a 70-year-old man with malignant melanoma, highlighting the diagnostic and management challenges of such irAEs. Despite extensive investigation, conventional pathology failed to identify the immune complexes typically associated with LCV. The clinical presentation, alongside a detailed medical history and the exclusion of infections, medications, and autoimmune diseases, was crucial in establishing a diagnosis. Ulcer resolution following discontinuation of ICI therapy and initiation of steroids further support the conclusion that LCV was an irAE in this patient. This case underscores the need for vigilant monitoring for irAEs for the variable onset after ICI therapy and the importance of thorough history-taking to guide diagnosis and treatment. With ICIs becoming increasingly prevalent in oncology, the incidence of ICI-induced ulcers like LCV is expected to rise, necessitating heightened awareness and multidisciplinary approaches to patient care.

  • Refinement of Surgery for Postaxial Polysyndactyly of the Toes
    Kosuke Ishikawa, Hiroshi Furukawa, Yuhei Yamamoto, Emi Funayama, Takahiro Miura, Taku Maeda
    Annals of Plastic Surgery, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 27 Mar. 2024
    Scientific journal, Purpose

    Treatment for polysyndactyly of the toes aims at cosmetic improvement but the lateroplantar rotation of the new fifth toe remains challenging. This study evaluated our novel surgical procedure for postaxial polysyndactyly of the toes.

    Materials and Methods

    Patients with postaxial polysyndactyly involving the fourth, fifth, and sixth toes treated in 2007 to 2017 with a minimum follow-up duration of 1 year were retrospectively investigated. Our aims of surgery for this condition were to avoid excessive lateroplantar rotation of the new fifth toe by using a proximally elongated plantar “shark-fin flap” and to make the tip of this toe appear to be naturally pointing inward by using the dog-ear component of the flap on the tip of the toe. The excess skin of the shark-fin flap was grafted onto the lateral surface of the fourth toe. Lateroplantar rotation of the fifth toe in these patients was compared with that in photographs of the feet of 96 normal 4-year-old children.

    Results

    A total of 11 feet in 10 patients (6 male, 4 female; mean age 1.3 years) were analyzed. Syndactyly between the fourth and fifth toes was complete in 3 feet, incomplete at the level of the distal interphalangeal joint of the fifth toe in 5, and incomplete at the level of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the fifth toe in 3. Lateroplantar rotation of the fifth toe, evaluated by the mean angle between 2 intersecting lines extending from the proximal nail fold of the third and fifth toes, was 25 ± 10° in normal feet and 0 ± 12° in operated feet with polysyndactyly. The absolute left-right difference in this angle was 7 ± 5° in normal children and 22 ± 12° in patients with polysyndactyly. Valgus deformity of the new fifth toe improved in all patients during a mean postoperative follow-up of 3.8 years.

    Conclusions

    Using our procedure, no excessive lateroplantar rotation has been observed when the tip of the fifth toe is inclined inward using a dog-ear flap component. This procedure could be useful in patients in whom the cosmetic outcome is a priority.

    We present a case of partially involuting congenital hemangioma (PICH) that showed rapid growth with ulceration after incisional biopsy. PICH does not typically grow after birth. However, if growth occurs due to stimuli like biopsy, it is essential to consider the possibility of pyogenic granuloma complication.

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Background

    Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare slow-flow combined vascular malformation with limb hypertrophy. KTS is thought to lie on the PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum, but reports are limited. PIK3CA encodes p110α, a catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) that plays an essential role in the PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. We aimed to demonstrate the clinical utility of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in identifying PIK3CA mosaicism in archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues from patients with KTS.

    Results

    Participants were 9 female and 5 male patients with KTS diagnosed as capillaro-venous malformation (CVM) or capillaro-lymphatico-venous malformation (CLVM). Median age at resection was 14 years (range, 5–57 years). Median archival period before DNA extraction from FFPE tissues was 5.4 years (range, 3–7 years). NGS-based sequencing of PIK3CA achieved an amplicon mean coverage of 119,000x. PIK3CA missense mutations were found in 12 of 14 patients (85.7%; 6/8 CVM and 6/6 CLVM), with 8 patients showing the hotspot variants E542K, E545K, H1047R, and H1047L. The non-hotspot PIK3CA variants C420R, Q546K, and Q546R were identified in 4 patients. Overall, the mean variant allele frequency for identified PIK3CA variants was 6.9% (range, 1.6–17.4%). All patients with geographic capillary malformation, histopathological lymphatic malformation or macrodactyly of the foot had PIK3CA variants. No genotype–phenotype association between hotspot and non-hotspot PIK3CA variants was found. Histologically, the vessels and adipose tissues of the lesions showed phosphorylation of the proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, including p-AKT, p-mTOR, and p-4EBP1.

    Conclusions

    The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in mesenchymal tissues was activated in patients with KTS. Amplicon-based targeted NGS could identify low-level mosaicism from low-input DNA extracted from FFPE tissues, potentially providing a diagnostic option for personalized medicine with inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

    Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine, Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS), 01 Jan. 2023
    Scientific journal, Introduction: Microtia reconstruction with autologous costal cartilage framework grafting is challenging because the three-dimensional structure of the ear is highly complex, and meeting the high aesthetic demands of patients can be difficult. If the skin flap overlying the framework is thinned to achieve a smooth and accentuated outline, a poor blood supply in the thin skin flap may lead to skin necrosis, exposure of the framework, and poor surgical results. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy can promote the healing of complex wounds and flaps. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of HBO2 therapy for prevention of postoperative complications after framework grafting in microtia reconstruction. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated postoperative complications and compared outcomes in pediatric patients who underwent costal cartilage grafting for microtia reconstruction at our institution between 2011 and 2015 according to whether or not they received postoperative HBO2 therapy. HBO2 therapy was applied once daily for a total of 10 sessions starting on the first postoperative day. Results: During the study period, eight patients received HBO2 therapy after costal cartilage grafting and 12 did not. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative ulcers. However, the incidence of framework exposure was lower and the healing time was shorter in patients who received HBO2 therapy than in those who did not. Discussion: HBO2 therapy can be used safely in pediatric patients to reduce postoperative complications and improve the aesthetic outcome of microtia reconstruction. After costal cartilage grafting, HBO2 therapy should be considered as adjuvant therapy.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells or their conditioned medium improve chronic wound healing, and their effect is enhanced by hypoxia. Diabetic foot ulcers are chronic wounds characterized by abnormal and delayed healing, which frequently require amputation. The authors evaluated the effect of topical application of conditioned medium from hypoxically cultured amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells on wound healing in diabetic mice. METHODS: Amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells were cultured under 21% oxygen to prepare normoxic conditioned medium and under 1% oxygen to prepare hypoxic conditioned medium. Hydrogels containing standard medium, normoxic conditioned medium, or hypoxic conditioned medium were topically applied to excisional wounds of mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Ulcer tissues were harvested on day 9; immunohistochemical and quantitative polymerase chain reaction analyses were performed to analyze angiogenesis, inflammatory cell infiltration, and expression levels of inflammation-related genes. RESULTS: Hypoxic conditioned medium significantly enhanced wound closure, increased capillary density and epithelization, and reduced macrophage infiltration. It also tended to reduce the infiltration of neutrophils and enhance the infiltration of regulatory T cells; it showed a tendency to downregulate the expression of the inflammation-related genes interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, chemokine ligand 1, and chemokine ligand 2. Normoxic conditioned medium exhibited similar effects, although they were of lesser magnitude than those of hypoxic conditioned medium. CONCLUSIONS: Hydrogels containing hypoxically cultured, amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice by enhancing angiogenesis, accelerating epithelization, and suppressing inflammation. Therefore, topical application of amnion mesenchymal stem cell-derived hypoxic conditioned medium could be a novel treatment for diabetic foot ulcers.

    Journal of wound care, 29, Sup12, S28-S32, 01 Dec. 2020, [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVE: In critical limb ischaemia (CLI), first-line therapy is revascularisation, but alternative treatment options are needed in certain cases. Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is historically considered to be contraindicated in ischaemic ulcers. Wound care in patients with CLI is becoming increasingly diverse with the development of novel revascularisation strategies; therefore, CLI now needs to be reconsidered as an indication for MDT. METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed five legs with CLI (five male, one female) treated with MDT between January 2013 and December 2017. Changes in skin perfusion pressure (SPP) around the ulcer before and after MDT were evaluated. One or two cycles of MDT were performed (eight in total). We also evaluated the proportion of necrotic tissue in the ulcer and the presence of exposed necrotic bone. The proportion of necrotic tissue in the ulcer was classified as NT 1+ (<25%), NT 2+ (25-50%), NT 3+ (50-75%) or NT 4+ (>75%). RESULTS: When the proportion of necrotic tissue was >50%, with no exposed necrotic bone in the wound, an increase in SPP was observed after five (62.5%) of eight cycles of MDT. And with a proportion of necrotic tissue of <25% and/or exposed necrotic bone in the wound, a decrease in SPP was observed after three (37.5%) of eight cycles. Wound healing was accelerated in the presence of increased SPP. CONCLUSION: Effective MDT with increased SPP requires an ulcerative state of necrotic tissue grade > NT 3+, with no exposed necrotic bone.

    Journal of tissue viability, 30 Nov. 2020, [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Recurrence rates of keloids have generally been reported at one time point. However, the longer the duration after treatment, the greater the likelihood that such lesions will recur. In this study, we analysed the time to recurrence during long-term follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed recurrence-free interval in 52 patients with keloid (age 8-79 years) who had been treated between June 2006 and January 2011 using a standardised protocol developed by our group. RESULTS: Mean duration of follow-up was 37.5 (range, 7-120) months in patients with keloid. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed a statistically significant difference in recurrence-free interval between ear keloids and keloids excluding ear keloids. Recurrence rate for keloids was high in the first 2 years after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Kaplan-Meier analysis was useful for understanding the tendency of recurrence of keloids after treatment using a standardised protocol.

    English, Scientific journal, The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare outcomes of cleft palate repair in patients with non-syndromic Pierre Robin sequence (NS-PRS) versus those with non-syndromic isolated cleft palate (NS-ICP). Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) was defined as a diagnosis of the triad of microretrognathia, glossoptosis, and cleft palate, and the severity of PRS was assessed based on the presence of respiratory and feeding problems. All patients underwent palatoplasty between January 2000 and December 2011. The authors examined age at palatoplasty, type of cleft palate, fistula rate, velopharyngeal (VP) function, nasal emission, hypernasality, and need for secondary speech surgery, in addition to PRS severity in the NS-PRS patients. A total of 15 NS-PRS patients and 40 NS-ICP patients were reviewed. The incidence of VP dysfunction, nasal emission, hypernasality, and secondary speech surgery was not significantly different between the NS-PRS patients and NS-ICP patients. Age at palatoplasty was significantly different between the 2 groups (P = 0.012) but type of CP was not (P = 1.00). Only 2 NS-PRS patients were classified as category III (severe), and all of the NS-PRS patients who had VP insufficiency were classified as PRS severity category I (not severe). The findings of this study indicate that NS-PRS patients may not have worse outcomes than NS-ICP patients.

    English, Scientific journal, Oculo-auriculo-fronto-nasal syndrome (OAFNS) is a rare anomaly characterized by features overlapping those of frontonasal dysplasia (FND) and the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS).1 The FND features malformation of frontonasal process-derived structures, characterized by anomalies in the central portion of the face. The OAVS is characterized by developmental anomalies of the first and second pharyngeal arches. The OAFNS is a condition with clinical features of both FND and OAVS. Here, the authors present the case of a male with OAFNS who not only exhibited typical OAFNS symptoms but also a dysplastic bony structure that bridged the anterior nasal spine and inferior nasal bones, and unilateral type 3 Duane retraction syndrome (absence of right-eye abduction). Abnormal nasal bones are characteristic of OAFNS; such abnormalities are absent from FND and OAVS. The authors reduced the dysplastic nasal bony structure via open external rhinoplasty, followed by lateral nasal osteotomy when he was 16 years of age. The nasal dorsum appeared natural after surgery and he was satisfied with the result.
  • Wound-healing problems associated with combined vascular malformations in Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome

    Advances in Wound Care, 8, 6, 246, 255, Jun. 2019, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited]
    English, Scientific journal, Significance: In Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS), management of a wound in the affected limb can be difficult because of the underlying vascular malformations present. This review describes the characteristics of KTS with wound complications in light of the genetic and molecular mechanisms of the disease. Recent Advances: KTS is a slow-flow combined vascular malformation characterized by the triad of capillary malformation, venous malformation with or without lymphatic malformation, and limb overgrowth. KTS is encompassed within the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA)-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS), having recently been linked to activating mutations in the PIK3CA gene. This clearly has implications for both molecular diagnosis and potential treatment strategies for the disease. Critical Issues: KTS should be distinguished from Parkes Weber syndrome, a fast-flow-type combined vascular malformation with limb overgrowth. Individualized management is needed for KTS and should be focused on the treatment of symptoms. Future Directions: Targeted therapies that inhibit the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway are a potential treatment option for PROS.

    English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Vascularized lymph node transfer (LNT) is gaining popularity in the treatment of lymphedema. However, it is unclear whether the vascularization of transferred lymph nodes (LNs) contributes to functional improvement. High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialized vessels that allow lymphocytes to enter LNs. In this study, we compared the numbers of HEVs and lymphocytes in LNs after vascularized and nonvascularized LNT. METHODS: Fifty mice were divided into three groups (group 1, pedicled vascularized LNT; group 2, pedicled nonvascularized LNT; group 3, free nonvascularized LNT). Afferent lymphatic reconnection was confirmed by patent blue staining. The transferred LNs were harvested 4 weeks after surgery. HEVs, B-cells, and T-cells were subjected to immunohistochemical staining and quantified. RESULTS: Afferent lymphatic reconnection was observed in 13 of 20 transferred LNs in group 1, 11 of 15 in group 2, and 7 of 15 in group 3. The ratio of dilated/total HEVs in transferred LNs with afferent lymphatic reconnection was significantly higher in group 1 than in groups 2 and 3. No significant differences in numbers of B-cells and T-cells were found in the transferred LNs. CONCLUSIONS: We found that more functional HEVs were preserved in cases with successful afferent lymphatic reconnection after vascularized LNT than after nonvascularized LNT.

    Microsurgery, 39, 3, 247, 254, Mar. 2019, [Peer-reviewed], [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: Vascularized lymph node transfer is becoming more common in the treatment of lymphedema, but suitable small animal models for research are lacking. Here, we evaluated the feasibility of pedicled vascularized inguinal lymph node transfer in mice. METHODS: Twenty-five mice were used in the study. An inguinal lymph node-bearing flap with a vascular pedicle containing the superficial caudal epigastric vessels was transferred into the ipsilateral popliteal fossa after excision of the popliteal lymph node. Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography was used to confirm vascularity of the flap. ICG lymphography was performed to evaluate lymphatic flow at 3 and 4 weeks postoperatively. Patent blue dye was injected into the ipsilateral hind paw to observe staining of the transferred lymph node at 4 weeks postoperatively. All transferred lymph nodes were then harvested and histologically evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining. RESULTS: In 16 of the 25 mice, ICG lymphography showed reconnection between the transferred lymph node and the afferent lymphatic vessels, as confirmed by patent blue staining. Histologically, these transferred lymph nodes with afferent lymphatic reconnection significantly regressed in size (0.37 ± 0.24 mm2 ) and showed clear follicle formation, whereas those without afferent lymphatic reconnection showed less size regression (1.31 ± 1.17 mm2 ); the cell population was too dense to allow identification of follicles. CONCLUSIONS: We established a mouse model of vascularized lymph node transfer with predictable afferent lymphatic reconnection. Both the vascularization and reconnection might be necessary for functional regeneration of the transferred lymph node.

    English, Scientific journal, Keloids mark a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a fibroproliferative disorder of the skin. A genome-wide association study showed that single-nucleotide polymorphism rs8032158 in the neural precursor cell-expressed NEDD4 gene, which has six protein-coding transcript variants (TVs), is genetically linked to keloids. Here, we show that the high frequency of risk allele C in rs8032158 in keloid patients is associated with a selectively higher expression of TV3 of NEDD4 to activate the NF-κB pathway. Comparisons of keloid scars with normal skin samples that do not have the single-nucleotide polymorphism allele and were derived from different anatomical sites showed stronger expressions of NEDD4 TV3 and activated forms of NF-κB and STAT3 in keloid scars. Forced expression or selective knockdown of NEDD4 TV3 increased or decreased NF-κB activation in vitro. Furthermore, NEDD4 knockdown suppressed NF-κB-dependent inflammation development in vivo. Mechanistic analysis showed that NEDD4 TV3 is involved in NF-κB activation through its association with the adaptor protein RIP. These results suggest that NEDD4 TV3 is a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for chronic skin diseases, including keloid.

    English, Scientific journal, The timing of cleft lip nose surgery remains controversial. The less invasive the procedure at the time of primary cleft lip repair, the less the growth and development of the nose is affected. Therefore, the nasal-stenting component of presurgical nasoalveolar molding has increasingly been used. However, not all cleft centers use such treatment. Conventional postsurgical placement of silicone nasal retainers remains popular. No report has yet compared presurgical nasal stenting (preNS) and postsurgical nasal retainer placement (postNR). In this study, postoperative nasal form outcomes after primary lip repair using preNS or postNR in patients with complete unilateral cleft lips, alveoli, and palates were compared. Patients in whom preNS alone was used for 6 months (group I) were compared with those receiving postNR (no preNS) for 6 months after primary nasal cartilage dissection (group II) and controls with no appliance (group III). Nasal anthropometric distances and angular relationships were measured photographically to assess nasal symmetry at 4 years of age in all groups. Compared to group III, groups I and II exhibited significantly greater nostril heights (P = 0.0075, P = 0.0015 respectively) and columellar deviation angles (P = 0.0020, P = 0.0221). Groups I and II did not differ significantly. No significant between-treatment difference in terms of nasal symmetry between preNS and postNR was observed. However, both treatments afforded significantly better results than no treatment. Since older infants tend to resist the placement of nasal devices, preNS is more feasible in this age group.

    English, Scientific journal, Lymph node (LN) transplantation is a recognized method for reconstruction of the lymphatic system and is used in the clinical setting to treat lymphedema. However, it is unclear whether transplanted LNs contribute to immune surveillance. In our study, we investigated whether a single transplanted non-vascularized LN, defined as a tumor-draining transplanted lymph node (TDTLN), could exert an immune-mediated antitumor effect. LN and lung metastases and primary tumor enlargement were evaluated in mice that were inoculated with B16-F10-luc2 melanoma cells in a hind limb footpad without (group 1) and with (group 2) popliteal lymph node (PLN) resection and in mice that underwent LN transplantation after PLN resection (group 3). The function of a TDTLN (group 3) and a tumor-draining popliteal lymph node (TDPLN; group 1) was evaluated in the context of cancer. LN and lung metastases were significantly aggravated by PLN resection but were significantly decreased by LN transplantation. Immunohistochemistry showed that the TDTLNs retained T-cells and B-cells and fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis confirmed expansion of lymphocytes in these nodes; however, the degree of expansion in TDTLNs was different from that in TDPLNs. Expression of cytokines associated with immunostimulation was confirmed in the TDTLNs as well as in the TDPLNs. One of the differences in the immune-mediated antitumor effect of the TDPLNs and TDTLNs was ascribed to a difference in the site of lymphocyte homing to peripheral LNs through high endothelial venules. Non-vascularized LN transplantation had an immune-mediated antitumor effect.

    Japanese, We reported a total of 300 cases (143 males and 157 females) with malignant skin tumors that were treated surgically at the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hokkaido Cancer Center from 2001 to 2011. The most common malignant skin tumors were basal cell carcinoma (34%), followed by squamous cell carcinoma (24%). The most common tumor site was the head and neck region (64%), followed by the lower extremity (14%) and upper extremity (10%). The cases that were treated at our division have decreased gradually in recent years. Most of the patients (95%) were referred to our division from other departments or other facilities, and 83% of the patients were from the dermatology department at our hospital or other facilities.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2012 ; 27 : 137-142]

  • A case of angiosarcoma of the scalp treated by wide local excision

    Skin Cancer, 18, 1, 51, 55, The Japanese Skin Cancer Society, 30 May 2003
    Japanese, Angiosarcoma of the scalp is a relatively rare malignant endothelial tumor. We experienced a case of angiosarcoma treated by wide local excision. An 85-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a tumor which had appeared 1 month before on his left temporal region. The diagnosis of angiosarcoma was made based on the clinical features and histopathological finding of the lesions on the skin by a former institution. We performed wide local excision immediately circumferentially to a distance of more than 3-5cm from the tumor margin. At present, 13 months after surgery, no recurrence or metastasis has been observed. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2003; 18: 51-55]
  • Bone Morphogenesis of the Piriform Aperture in Cleft Lip Patients Without Alveolar Cleft

    Journal of Japanese Cleft Palate Association, 28, 1, 20, 27, Japanese Cleft Palate Association, 30 Apr. 2003
    Japanese, There appear to be fewer abnormalities in the bony development of the upper jaw in patients who have cleft lip without cleft alveolar, hard or soft palate, and special care does not appear to be necessary. However, we have observed bone defects or bone deformity and asymmetry of the piriform aperture among patients undergoing long-term follow-up fa. r cleft lip without cleft hard or soft palate. There were six patients, two male and four female. Five patients had a right-sided cleft lip and one had a left-sided cleft lip. All patients were diagnosed as cleft lip, but no evidence of cleft palate was found. On three-dimensional CT scans taken at 5 to 17 years of age, deformity of the piriform aperture was observed. Auto logous bone grafting was performed in two of the patients and an artificial bone substitute was used in another two patients. Two patients did not undergo any treatment of the bony abnormality. In patient s who have unilateral cleft lip without cleft palate, we have found that good development of the external nose is often impossible even when the nasal cartilage has developed and the recess at the base of the ala nasae is repaired. However, when attention is also paid to the shape of the piriform aperture and deformity is found in the hard tissue that supports the nasal cartilage, it is important to improve its morphology by inserting autologous or artificial bone grafts.

  • Multiple basal cell epithelioma. A case of multiple basal cell epithelioma after irradiation.

    Japanese, Malignant skin tumors are known to develop in areas of chronic radiodermatitis. We experienced a patient with multiple basal cell carcinomas that developed about 50 years after irradiation. The patient was a 77-year-old man who underwent radiotherapy in his twenties for caries in the left shoulder joint. The dose given was unknown. Black skin tumor appeared initially about 10 years before the first consultation. The skin around the tumor began to erode about six months before presentation. Biopsy of the tumor was done at another institution and revealed basal cell carcinoma(BCC), so the patient was referred to our department. In addition to the BCC measuring 35×20mm in the left shoulder, BCC measuring 17×20mm and 15×15mm were found on the chest and the left axilla, respectively. The lesions were excised with a margin of 5mm from the radiodermatitis, and the resultant skin defects were covered with latissimus dorsi flaps. All three tumors were basal cell carcinomas. The patient died of an unrelated disease six years after surgery and there was no recurrence of his tumors.

    創傷治癒過程において酸素環境は重要である。生体は低酸素状態に対する適応応答としてHIF-1α (hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha) を発現することで、血管新生などの創傷治癒の多段階で作用し、創傷治癒を促進するとされる。
    本研究は、リンパ浮腫・虚血・糖尿病を念頭に置いたマウス下肢慢性創傷モデルを用いてHIF-1α調整薬剤の創傷治癒に与える影響を検証し、生体が本来もつ低酸素応答システムを利用した、新たな慢性創傷に対する治療法の開発を目的とした。
    本年度は、2年目の計画に従い、初年度で行ったマウス後肢リンパ浮腫モデルを利用した創傷モデルの作成、Roxadustat(HIF-1α安定化薬)およびYC-1(HIF-1α阻害薬)の容量用法の検討に基づき、薬剤投与群と非投与群の間で創傷治癒期間および各タイムポイントでの創傷閉鎖割合に差があるかどうかを検討した。
    作成した群は、①皮膚切開のみのコントロール(手術なし・薬剤非投与群)②リンパ浮腫モデル(薬剤非投与群)③リンパ浮腫モデル(Roxadustat投与群)④リンパ浮腫モデル(YC-1投与群)の4群であり、それぞれ大腿部に創傷を作成した。
    皮膚切開のみのコントロール(手術なし・薬剤非投与群)に比してリンパ浮腫モデル(薬剤非投与群)は有意に創傷治癒期間が遅延した。また、通常のリンパ浮腫モデル(薬剤非投与群)に比して、Roxadustat(HIF-1α安定化薬)を使用した群で、創傷治癒期間の短縮および創閉鎖割合が促進し、YC-1(HIF-1α阻害薬)を使用した群で、創傷治癒期間の延長および創閉鎖割合が減少する傾向が見られた。また、薬剤を投与したリンパ浮腫モデル群間で後肢の周径の差および皮膚厚の差を認めた。これにより、リンパ浮腫の動態に対しても薬剤による影響がある可能性が示唆された。

  • 低酸素応答システムからケロイド病態を斬る!~局所免疫の正常化と炎症・線維化の抑制

    ケロイドは創傷治癒過程の異常により炎症と線維化が亢進した状態である。抗原とサイトカインの刺激を受けたCD4陽性T細胞、制御性T細胞とTh17細胞は相互に制御しバランスを保っており、炎症性疾患の発症や病態は制御性T細胞とTh17細胞のバランスにより影響される。われわれは既報でケロイド内では制御性T細胞の発現が低下し、免疫バランスの破綻により 炎症が遷延し線維化が亢進することを報告した。一方、近年ケロイド内は、低酸素状態であることがわかってきた。低酸素誘導因子(hypoxia-inducible factor、HIF)は、酸素供給が滞った組織内の細胞で活性化し 様々な遺伝子の発現を誘導し、生体の環境への適応を促す転写因子である。HIFは低酸素適応応答だけでなく、炎症や悪性腫瘍の病態にも関与する。HIFのサブタイプの中でも、ケロイド内ではHIF-1αの発現が亢進しており、低酸素状態を反映していると考えられる。HIF-1αはTh17細胞への分化を促進するが、制御性T細胞への分化を抑制し、免疫バランスを破綻させる。ケロイドにおいても持続的なHIF-1αの発現亢進が制御性T細胞とTh17細胞の免疫バランスを破綻させることで、ケロイド病態を悪化させている可能性があると仮定し、本研究を計画した。本年度は、文書による同意を得て、17例のケロイド患者からケロイド組織の採取を行い、そのうち15例から血液サンプルを採取することができた。採取した組織の部位別内訳は、耳垂7例、耳介6例、頚部1例、肩部1例、臍部2例であった。パラフィンブロック作成及び初代培養を行い、線維芽細胞を凍結保存した。また、採取した血液検体からLeucosep管を用いて末梢血単核球を分離し、凍結保存した。今後はこれらの検体を使用して共培養を行う予定である。

    Reconstruction using various materials has been reported as a method of physiologic surgical treatment of impairment of local lymphatic system. In this study, we focused on the omentum, which is considered to play a central role immunologically among visceral fat and verified it in an experimental animal model using mice.
    We designed two models: a pedicled omentum transplantation model in which blood flow is maintained as a stemmed tissue valve, and a less invasive free omentum transplantation model, and compared and verified the contribution of each group to lymphatic reconstruction. The results suggest that both groups may promote lymphatic remodeling.

    Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) bind to estrogen receptors acting as an agonist or an antagonist depending on the target tissue. First, we detected the expression of estrogen receptors in keloid fibroblasts. Second, we investigated the effects of SERMs on keloid fibroblasts. The effect is different depending on the concentration of SERMs. Some SERMs are suggested to inhibit cell proliferation of keloid fibroblasts.

    In the basic experiment using nine-week-old wistar male rat, when the main trunk of the facial nerve was cut and anastomosed by epineural suture, the nerve regeneration already started from the sutured edge at four week past from the operation, and the nerve could reached to the mimetic muscles. Furthermore, when it was attached bFGF-impregnated MedGel on the point of epineural suture, the speed of nerve regeneration was faster than former group. And finally it also improve the movement of the mimetic muscles. This will enable us to expect a good role and capacity of the control released bFGF in the treatment of facial palsy after neurotmesis.

    We developed the new lymph node transfer method using mouse hind limb model, in which we transferred the axillary lymph node to the popliteal space at the opposite side after the lymph node removal. Compared to control group, earlier improvement of lymphedema was observed in the lymph node transfer group.
    We analyzed the mechanism of the improvement of lymphedema with the lymph node transfer, with fluorescence lymphatic imaging using indocyanine green and PDE system equipped with a charge-coupled device camera as a fluorescence detector. In the lymph node transfer group, formation of the collateral pathway and the transferred lymph node take were observed. This result supports the hypothesis that the lymph node transfer can improve lymphedema by increasing the lymphatic flow.

    The purpose of this study was to reduce the side effects and the pain caused by frequent injections of IFN-beta for melanoma while specifically targeting the lymph nodes by taking advantage of metal coordination to bind IFN-beta to hyaluronic acid. Sustained release of IFN-beta by conjugation with HA prolongs lymphatic retention. IFN-beta-hyaluronic acid conjugates can be given as an adjuvant therapy post-surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence and eradicate melanoma residuals, such as micrometastases. In addition, due to the sustained release characteristics of the conjugate, weekly injections for melanoma could replace conventional daily injections, thereby reducing pain as well as healthcare costs.

    A total of 27 calvarial defects were randomly divided into nine treatment groups. One set of defects was filled with a beta-TCP disc containing normal saline alone (group-A, control) or 1 (group-B), 5 (group-C), or 20 ug of G-CSF saline solution (group-D). Another set of defects was filled with a beta-TCP disc with an overlaid gelatin hydrogel sheet incorporating normal saline alone (group-E), or 1 (group-F), 5 (group-G), or 20 ug of G-CSF solution (group-H). The last set of defects was left untreated (group-I). Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed at eight weeks postoperatively.
    In groups F and G, values of newly formed bone were significantly higher compared to group A. The percentage of remaining beta-TCP in group G was significantly lower compared to group A.

    Pirfenidone is a novel anti-fibrotic agent used in the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Keloid is a cutaneous fibrotic disease characterized by fibroblast overproliferation and fibrogenesis such as the abnormally high production of alpha smooth muscle actin and collagen in keloid-derived fibroblasts. The effects of pirfenidone on cell proliferation, type I collagen production, and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in keloid-derived fibroblasts were investigated in this study.
    Results showed that pirfenidone significantly inhibited cell proliferation, type I collagen production, and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression in keloid-derived fibroblasts. Our study highlights the potential use of pirfenidone in the treatment of keloids.

    HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) and TGF-β(transforming growth factor-β) often act antagonistically each other. For example, TGF-β accelerates liver fibrosis, whereas HGF prevents its progression. In our study, HGF suppressed type I collagen mRNA expression in keloid fibroblasts. HGF is suggested to repress TGF-β signal transduction pathway.

    We reproduced melanoma in-transit metastasis (ITM) in a mouse hind limb by transplanting melanoma cells into the footpad of a mouse with lymphedema (LE). The tumor cells at the ITM site were highly proliferative, and mice with ITMs were more likely than control mice to develop distant lymph node and lung metastases. Peritumoral lymphatic vessels and tumor-associated blood vessels were increased in the primary tumor site of the LE mice.

    In a keloid lesion, T lymphocytes are found around activated and invasive keloid fibroblasts whose levels of type 1 collagen production, transforming growth factor-beta expression and α-SMA expression are very high. So we co-cultured keloid fibroblasts with T lymphocytes to establish the keloid in vitro model. But the levels of type 1 collagen and transforming growth factor-beta of the keloid fibroblasts co-cultured with T lymphocytes tended to rather decrease. Some subset of T lymphocytes might suppress keloid fibroblasts.
