Abstract

The liposuction with a rotary cannula combines suction under traditional depression with rotation of the cannula mounted on a hand-piece, connected to a motor. This rotation, which can be has high as 400 r.p.m., allows 360 degrees treatment of lipodystrophy in a single procedure. Safety is ensured by an adjustable couple limiter, which prevents any risk of accidental movements when the cannula meets resistance. The authors conducted a study on 2 cases, which demonstrated a definite advantage of this technique in marked to severe lipodystrophy (1.5 to 7 litres of suction) and in high-density zones which are difficult to treat (epigastrium, knees, dorsal folds). This technique does not provide any decisive advantages in cases of minor lipodystrophy, which could justify its routine use in this context.

Rapidly decellularized adipose tissue induces soft tissue vascularization in potential anatomical spaces.

Decellularized tissues provide biological cues owing to the wealth of structural and regulatory factors that promote angiogenesis, adipogenesis, and myogenesis and facilitate neurite outgrowth. Here, we demonstrated the advantages of decellularized adipose tissue (adipoECM) over defined collagen-based biomaterials for host tissue integration. Three batches of human adipose tissue were decellularized using a rapid decellularization protocol and analyzed using mass spectrometry. To assess the biological activity of the decellularized materials, adipoECM and a reference standard of care biomaterial (Integra®DRT, also containing collagen I and glycosaminoglycans) were implanted subcutaneously, but far from the wound bed (in anatomical potential spaces) of immunocompetent BALB/c mice. The mice were euthanized in the acute (1 day) and chronic (day 60) inflammatory reaction phases, followed by biomaterial excision and Masson’s trichrome immunohistofluorescence imaging of the paraffin-embedded specimens. Each batch of processed tissue passed a quality control check, showing a low level of donor genomic DNA, lack of nuclei, lipids, endotoxins, and bacterial contamination. Mass spectrometry revealed that all batches of decellularized tissue mainly contained collagen I and, to a lesser degree, collagen III, collagen IV, collagen V, laminin, fibrillin, fibronectin, tenascin, and elastin. No acute inflammatory reaction was observed in either material one day post-transplantation. At 60 days post-implantation, different cell types were detected in adipoECM specimens, whereas Integra®DRT remained acellular. Additional immunohistochemical staining of adipoECM revealed CD31-positive cells in the blood vessels. Mesenchymal (CD90 positive) and myeloid (CD14 positive) cells were also detected. Primary cell types involved in soft tissue healing and remodeling were found in the adipoECM-treated group. The ingrowth of blood vessels and mesenchymal cells confirmed the effective integration of adipoECM with host tissues. Our results demonstrate that decellularized adipose tissue implanted away from the wound bed possesses contextual biological activities that promote efficient integration with host tissues.

[Effects of Trp64Arg mutation in the beta 3-adrenergic receptor gene on body fat, plasma glucose level, lipid profile, insulin secretion and action in Chinese].

OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the association of the Trp64Arg mutation in the beta 3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene with the total body fat and fat distribution, plasma glucose level, lipid profile, insulin secretion and action in Chinese. METHODS: Genotyping of the Trp64Arg mutation in the ADRB3 gene as well as measurment of clinical variables body mass index(BMI), percent of desirable weight(PDW), area of regional adipose tissue depots, fasting lipid profile, and also, plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, free fatty acids levels before and after glucose challenge and blood pressure were performed in 308 Chinese, of whom, 161 were nondiabetics and 147, type 2 diabetic subjects. RESULTS: (1) The frequency of Arg64 allele of ADRB3 gene in Chinese was similar to that in Japanese but slightly higher than that in Caucasians. (2) No association of any of the clinical varaibles with Trp64Arg mutation was observed in nondiabetics. (3) The Trp64Arg mutation in the ADRB3 gene was associated with BMI(P=0.019), PDW(P=0.001) and waist circumference (P=0.045) in type 2 diabetic subjects. In female diabetic subjects, more significant association with BMI(P=0.001), PDW(P=0.001), waist circumference(P=0.023), and also, association with abdominal and femoral subcutaneous fat area(P=0.032 and P=0.023) were observed. The frequencies of Arg64 allele were 21%, 14% and 4% in female diabetics with obesity, over-weight and normal-weight respectively (P=0.026). Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI was the only independent clinical variable related to the Trp64Arg mutation in the ADRB3 gene (P=0.0027). CONCLUSION: The Trp64Arg mutation in ADRB3 gene contributes to the variation of total body fat in Chinese type 2 diabetic subjects.

Relations of left ventricular mass to fat-free and adipose body mass: the strong heart study. The Strong Heart Study Investigators.

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether increased left ventricular (LV) mass in overweight individuals is related to their adiposity or to greater fat-free mass (FFM). METHODS AND RESULTS: We compared echocardiographic LV mass to FFM and adipose body mass by bioelectric impedance and to anthropometric measurements in 3107 American Indian participants in the Strong Heart Study. In men and women, the relations of LV mass and FFM (r=0.37 and 0.38, P<0.001) were closer (P<0.05 to <0.001) than they were with adipose mass, waist/hip ratio, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, height, or height2.7. Regression analyses showed that in men LV mass had the strongest independent relation with FFM, followed by systolic blood pressure and age (all P<0.001); in women, LV mass was related to FFM more strongly than it was to systolic blood pressure, age (all P<0. 001), and diabetes (P=0.012). Adipose mass had no independent relation to LV mass. When waist/hip ratio or body mass index were substituted for adipose mass, LV mass was independently related to FFM (P<0.001) and body mass index (P=0.02) but not to waist/hip ratio in men and was independently related to FFM and waist/hip ratio (both P<0.001) but not to body mass index in women. Using 97.5 percentile gender-specific partitions for LV mass/FFM in reference individuals, we found that LV hypertrophy occurred in 20.8% of Strong Heart Study participants with hypertension, overweight, or diabetes compared with 10.5% and 16.7% by LV mass indexed for body surface area or height2.7. CONCLUSIONS: LV mass is more strongly related to FFM than to adipose mass, waist/hip ratio, body mass index, or height-based surrogates for lean body weight; LV mass/FFM criteria may increase sensitivity to detect LV hypertrophy.
