Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the viability of adipocytes after they are subjected to different compressive stress in vitro for improvement of autologous fat graft and its clinical application.Methods Fat grafts were harvested from healthy patients who underwent liposuction for body contouring.Then the fat grafts were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups,including control group without any compressive stress,and continuous compressive stress groups (0,25,50,75,and 100 kPa),and the glucose transport test was performed at days 1,2,3 and 4.An MTT assay was also performed after 4 days with continuous compressive stress in each group with the same experimental protocol for control.Routine histological examination was done in all groups to examine possible structural destruction after compressive stress.Results As compared with the control group,the glucose transport test showed transported glucose concentration decreased with an increase in compressive stress in all of the other four groups (P＜0.01),and this effect would increase with action time.MTT assay showed absorbance (A492nm) also decreased with an increase in compressive stress in four days (P＜0.05),the similar fndings of MTT assay on the viability of fat grafts in all five groups and correlated with the glucose transport test (r=0.838,P＜0.01).Histology showed significantly distorted and fractured adipocytes and cell injury rate was to raise with an increase in compressive stress.Conclusions Our study demonstrates the harmful effect on the viability of fat grafts with an increase in compressive stress and therefore we should reduce this effect in clinical application of fat grafts.
