The Extracellular Matrix

12.3K
Overview
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

1.3K
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Extracellular Matrix01:26

Extracellular Matrix

5.5K
Unlike epithelial tissue, which is composed of cells closely packed with little or no extracellular space in between, connective tissue cells are dispersed in a matrix. This extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of fibrous proteins like collagen, elastin, and fibronectin in a ground substance consisting of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans. The proteoglycans form a gel-like material in the spaces between cells and provide hydration, buffering, binding, and force...

The Bone Matrix01:18

The Bone Matrix

5.8K
Bone contains a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of collagen fibers that provide an adherent surface for inorganic salt crystals. Both components of the matrix, organic and inorganic, contribute to the unusual properties of bone. Without collagen, bones would be brittle and shatter easily. Without mineral crystals, bones would flex and provide little support. This can be observed by an experiment: when the minerals of a bone are dissolved by soaking the bone in...

Bus Impedance Matrix01:24

Bus Impedance Matrix

538
Calculating subtransient fault currents for three-phase faults in an N-bus power system involves using the positive-sequence network. When a three-phase short circuit occurs at a specific bus, the analysis uses the superposition method to evaluate two separate circuits.
In the first circuit, all machine voltage sources are short-circuited, leaving only the prefault voltage source at the fault location. The positive-sequence bus impedance matrix can be determined by solving the nodal equations,...

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial surgery
  • Regenerative medicine
  • Oral and maxillofacial surgery

Background:

  • Cleft palate fistulas often result from failed primary repairs, presenting significant challenges for secondary and tertiary surgical interventions.
  • High recurrence rates are common in traditional fistula repair methods, necessitating innovative approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of acellular dermal matrix as an interpositional graft in secondary and tertiary cleft palate fistula closure.
  • To assess the safety and success rate of this technique in a consecutive patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 20 patients undergoing cleft palate fistula repair between 2013 and 2016.
  • Utilized acellular dermal matrix as an interposition layer during fistula closure procedures.

Main Results:

  • Achieved complete fistula closure in 16 out of 20 patients (80%).
  • Demonstrated an overall success rate of 85%, including partial closures with symptom improvement.
  • One patient experienced an asymptomatic recurrent fistula, and another developed a recurrent fistula without symptom changes.

Conclusions:

  • Acellular dermal matrix is a safe and simple adjunct for cleft palate fistula repair.
  • This technique shows a high success rate, offering a promising solution for challenging secondary and tertiary fistula cases.
