Experimental use of lyophilized porcine skin

Evanescent Microwave Microscopy of Porcine Skin Tissue

The effect of acid modification of porcine mucin on its drug release and skin permeation properties in insulin transdermal patches

The study aimed at determining the effect of acid modified porcine mucin powder on the release and permeation of insulin in transdermal patches. Various batches of insulin patches were prepared by solvent casting method using polysorbate 80 as emulsifying agent and acid treated and untreated mucin powders as base. The patches were evaluated for their physical properties, folding endurance, moi...

Comparison of Lyophilized Glutaraldehyde-Preserved Bovine Pericardium with Different Vascular Prostheses for Use as Vocal Cords Implants: Experimental Study

This study compared the use of lyophilized glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium (LGPBP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and Teflon felt (TF) as implants for vocal cords (VC) medialization and aimed to assess the endoscopic, macroscopic, and microscopic VC changes after medialization in a canine model. In 18 mongrel dogs, the right VC were medialized wit...

Treponema spp. in Porcine Skin Ulcers

The hypothesis tested in this work is that bacteria of genus Treponema play a main role when shoulder ulcers and ear necrosis occur in an infectious or severe form, and perhaps also in other skin conditions in the pig. Samples were collected from pigs in 19 Swedish herds 2010-2011. The sampled skin lesions included 52 shoulder ulcers, 57 ear necroses, 4 facial necroses and 5 other skin ulcers. ...

Xenotransplantation Using Lyophilized Acellular Porcine Cornea with Cells Grown in vivo and Stimulated with Substance-P

Corneal allograft transplantation has a high success rate, but the clinical use of corneal allografts is limited by an insufficient number of human donor corneas (Alldredge & Krachmer, 1981; Sedlakova & Filipec, 2007). Artificial substitutes may serve as an alternative to donor allograft use, but widely accepted substitutes are not currently available (Chen et al., 2001; Griffith et al., 1999; ...
