    Imaging features of paratesticular masses
    (Wiley Blackwell, 2017) Secil M.; Bertolotto M.; Rocher L.; Pekindil G.; Stocca T.; Richenberg J.; Ramchandani P.; Derchi L.E.
    In this pictorial essay, we review the sonographic and other imaging findings of paratesticular masses in correlation with the pathologic findings. The examples include benign and malignant tumors and also non-neoplastic mass lesions of the paratesticular structures. Diagnostic sonographic findings of these mass lesions as well as correlative findings of other imaging methods are presented. © 2017 by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.

    Role of Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells in Wound Healing
    (Wiley Blackwell, 2018) Kurt F.O.; Vatansever H.S.; Uluer E.T.
    Wound healing is a complex process and some conditions such as diabetes is difficult to treat. In these conditions external cell support is required where mesenchymal stem cells can be functional and useful. One of the main sources for these cells is bone marrow. These cells can be separated from hematopoietic precursors by adhesive properties where they can proliferate, differentiate, and expand for clinical use. Their effect on wound healing depends on their interaction with other cells, in which their production of cytokine and growth factors play an important role during the healing process, especially for immune modulation. In this review, the effect of stem cells on wound healing with cell interaction, regulation of the matrix, and adhesion with secretion of cells will be discussed in order to understand the mechanisms used by these cells to achieve a better quality of life for the patient suffering from a non-healing wound. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Wound Healing and Microenvironment
    (Wiley Blackwell, 2018) Uluer E.T.; Vatansever H.S.; Kurt F.O.
    The wound healing process includes activation of signaling pathways that work together to restore a tissue microenvironment consisting of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) with enzymes, cytokines, and growth factors. Wound healing consists of a dynamic process including various overlapping stages that include hemostasis and inflammation, cell proliferation, and maturation together with remodeling. In this chapter, we focus on wound healing types and the importance of the microenvironment. We then discuss the mechanism of wound healing and the interactions between molecules, cells, and extracellular matrix in the microenvironment during wound healing. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
