Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Skin Cancer

3.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Cosmetic Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Opaque corneas can cause disfigurement, impacting patients' self-esteem and quality of life.
  • Corneal keratopigmentation offers a potential cosmetic solution for disfiguring corneal opacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the indications, safety, and potential complications of therapeutic corneal keratopigmentation.
  • To assess the cosmetic and functional outcomes of this procedure in patients with opaque corneas.

Main Methods:

  • Eight eyes of 8 patients underwent manual therapeutic corneal keratopigmentation.
  • A two-plane corneal dissection was performed, with brown pigment injected for iris mimicry and black pigment for pupillary simulation.

Main Results:

  • Seven out of 8 eyes showed significant cosmetic improvement.
  • One patient had limited improvement due to corneal neovascularization.
  • Two eyes experienced postoperative pigment fading; no major complications were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic corneal keratopigmentation can markedly enhance ocular appearance, potentially improving self-esteem and life quality.
  • Pigment fading and corneal neovascularization are potential complications.
  • Careful patient selection and counseling are crucial for managing expectations and achieving satisfactory results.
