    Construção de substituto da pele composto por matriz de colágeno porcino povoada por fibroblastos dérmicos e queratinócitos humanos: avaliação histológica
    (2012) ISAAC, Cesar; REGO, Francinni M. P.; LADEIR, Pedro Ribeiro Soares de; ALTRAM, Silvana C.; OLIVEIRA, Renata C. de; ALDUNATE, Johnny L. C. B.; PAGGIARO, André O.; FERREIRA, Marcus Castro
    BACKGROUND: In the case of extensive lesions, the use of autologous grafts is limited by the extent of the donor area and the clinical condition of patients. Allografts collected from cadavers or volunteers are usually rejected after 1 to 2 weeks, thus serving only as temporary cover for these lesions. Treating major cutaneous lesions with reconstructed autologous skin is an attractive alternative, because it is possible to obtain cultures of cells that multiply rapidly and can be cryopreserved from a small fragment of the patient's skin, thereby facilitating its indefinite use in new treatments. This study evaluated the histological behavior of cultured human keratinocytes and fibroblasts on a collagen matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa. METHODS: Cells from human epidermis and dermis were grown separately and seeded on porcine collagen matrix, which was maintained in a controlled environment for 21 days before being subjected to histological analysis. RESULTS: Fibroblasts invaded and colonized the collagen matrix, whereas keratinocytes were organized in laminated and stratified layers on the surface on which they were seeded. CONCLUSIONS: The use of porcine collagen matrix as a support for human skin cells is feasible, and the organization of these cells resembles the architecture of human skin.

    DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOLOGIC DRESSING FOR THE TREATMENT OF SKIN ULCERS ASSOCIATED TO HLA CLASS I DEFICIENCY
    (2012) MORAES-VASCONCELOS, D.; PAGGIARO, A. O.; ISAAC, C.; RIBEIRO, R. L.; NICODEMO, A. C.
    Human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) deficiency is a rare disease (less than 30 reported cases in the world) with remarkable clinical and biological heterogeneity. It presents a 90-99% reduction reduction in the expression of HLA-I molecules. This syndrome is caused by defects in TAP-1, TAP-2 and Tapasin (MIM 604571). Although asymptomatic cases have been described, HLA-I deficiencies are usually characterized by chronic bacterial infections of the upper and lower airways, evolving to bronchiectasis, and also necrotizing granulomatous skin lesions. Treatment is addressed to controlling infections. Early and prolonged use of antibiotics should be performed at the first sign of infection. Some patients have benefited from immunoglobulin therapy. The lack of adequate treatments for the cure of disease associated with the fact we do not have as well effective therapy for the necrotizing granulomatous lesions of the skin, directed us to look for alternatives for the treatment of these recalcitrant and disabling injuries. Considering the necessity of developing new skin substitutes for the treatment of major tissue loss in patients with deficiencies of MHC class I with large granulation tissue areas, it is proposed in this study the in vivo use of biological dressings made of denuded amniotic membranes as a substrate for the growth of a epidermal layer formed by keratinocytes of the patients, allowing the growth of epithelia from the recalcitrant wounds of granulomatous lesions presented by people with MHC class I deficiency.
