Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 vs. Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 in Ischemic Skin Flap Survival in a Rat Animal Model
BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
متن کاملThe mouse int-2 gene exhibits basic fibroblast growth factor activity in a basic fibroblast growth factor-responsive cell line.
The int-2 protein is related to basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by amino acid sequence homology. To assess its biological activity, we constructed retroviral vectors containing four variants of mouse int-2 complementary DNA under the transcriptional control of the beta-actin promoter and tested their effects on human SW13 adrenal cortical tumor cells. This cell line specifically requires ...
متن کاملEffect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rabbit
BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are common and it takes a long time for an injured tendon to heal. Adverse phenomena such as adhesion and rupture are associated with these injuries. Finding a method to reduce the time required for healing whichimproves the final outcome, will lead to decreased frequency and intensity of adverse consequences. This study was designed to investigate the effects ...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 induces vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor mRNA expression in cultured rat Müller cells.
PURPOSE To investigate the induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene expression by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in cultured rat Müller cells and to study the mechanism of the induction. METHODS Müller cells were obtained from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rat retinas and cultured in essential modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal ...
متن کاملExogenous basic fibroblast growth factor and nerve growth factor enhance sprouting of acetylcholinesterase positive fibers in denervated rat hippocampus.
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) were administered into the rat brain following unilateral fimbria-fornix transection. Both bFGF and NGF stimulated the sprouting of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) positive fibers in the hippocampus on the lesioned side. Furthermore, a small number of AChE-positive fibers were regenerated even when only the vehicle was administered...
