Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of gauze filtration on the content of adipose stem cells in fat gel.Methods:In March 2022, fat samples from 5 patients who underwent abdominal fat aspiration at the Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital were collected, prepared fat ged, the fat gel was filtered 1-5 times with 2 layers of gauze, and the amount of fat gel passing through a 1 ml threaded syringe with a 27 G needle was measured after each filtration. At the same time, the content of fat stem cells in the filtered fat gel was detected by flow cytometry.Results:As the number of filters increases, the amount of fat gel passing through gradually increased. The increasing trend was obvious after the first to fourth filters, and the increasing trend slowed down after the fifth filter. After statistical analysis, the differences between the first filter and the second filter, the second filter and the third filter, and the third filter and the fourth filter were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the fourth filter and the fifth filter ( P>0.05). As the number of filters increased, the content of adipose stem cells in the fat gel gradually decreased. The decreasing trend was obvious after the first to third filters, and the decreasing trend slowed down after the fourth filter. After statistical analysis, the differences between the first filter and the second filter, as well as the second filter and the third filter, were statistically significant (all P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the third filter and the fourth filter, and the fourth filter and the fifth filter (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The more times gauze is filtered, the better the permeability of fat gel. However, the content of adipose stem cells will significantly decrease in the first three filters. Therefore, the number of times gauze is filtered for fat gel should be minimized as much as possible.
