INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the histopathologic reaction of four suturing materials: silk, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyglycolic acid, and catgut in the oral mucosa of albino rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS The twenty-one male mature albino rabbits which were used in this study were randomly divided into three groups of seven each. Silk, PVDF, polyglycolic acid...

BACKGROUND Polyglycolic acid mesh (PAM) reinforcement of colonic anastomoses were evaluated. METHODS Twenty female albino rabbits were divided into two groups. Each rabbit underwent segmental colonic resection with single-layer anastomosis. In one group of rabbits, PAM of length equal to the circumference of the anastomosis was applied. Rabbits were sacrificed on postoperative day 10 and peri...

Abstract Non-union in spinal fusion surgeries (SF) is a key cause of failure. Demineralized bone matrix used SFs to facilitate growth throughout the segment, and polyglycolic acid (PGA) meshes are for their containment. A discontinuous calcium mineral coating could transform function PGA from passive active, where dissolved ions act as chemoattractant cells or it form barrier prevent hydrolytic...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of in vitro fabrication of tissue-engineered cartilage from human nasoseptal chondrocytes for autologous reconstruction. DESIGN Hyaline cartilage was reconstituted from chondrocyte-polyglycolic acid scaffolding constructs in a 3-dimensional mammalian cell culture cascade. This included monolayer cellular amplification, cell seeding in the spinner flask, a...

n: The purpose of this study was to compare the histopathologic reaction of four rials: silk, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyglycolic acid, and catgut in the f albino rabbits. nd Methods: The twenty-one male mature albino rabbits which were used in e randomly divided into three groups of seven each. Silk, PVDF, polyglycolic acid ure materials were tested in the oral mucosa of these animals...

Objective- This study aims at validating the use of serum amyloid A (SAA) as biomarkers of surgical stress using Quantitative ELISA in the Sahel goats. The experiment evaluated SAA profiles of Sahel goats post Diazepam-Lidocaine (DLC) and Diazepam-Bupivacaine (DBC) local anaesthesia. Expressions of SAA in the Sahel goat post rumen skin clamp fixation techniques of rumenotomy wi...

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical properties sutures used in dentistry according different materials vitro. 
 Material and Methods: Eight 3-0 absorbable non-absorbable suture with gauge (Polytetraflouroethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyglactin 910, polyglycolic acid, poliglecaprone 25, polydioxanone, silk) were compared terms strength. All tied a simple techniq...
