After renal parenchymal sparing surgery, with the use of surgical gelatin sponge, residual defects may persist on imaging studies at the sites of resection. These "pseudotumors" may lead to confusion as to whether a lesion was removed or has recurred. These lesions usually resolve within a year. We report a case of pseudotumor renal parenchymal sparing surgery in a 69 year old man, with resolut...

OBJECTIVE To research the histological characteristics of a gelatin sponge transplant loaded with goat BMSCs (bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells) combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) in repairing an annulus defect. METHOD BMSCs were separated from the iliac crest of goats, sub-cultured and identified after the third generation. Then, PRP was obtained using blood from the jugular v...

The aim of this study was to explore the angiographic diagnosis and embolization therapy for renal artery pseudoaneurysms due to acute urinary tract hemorrhage after conservative medical management failed. Seven out of ten cases had fever symptoms after the kidney surgery. The pseudoaneurysms were treated with gelatin sponge and (or) spring coil and the majority demonstrated rapid blockage of h...

There is an association between diabetes and impaired bone healing. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sericin had a positive effect on regeneration with streptozotocin-induced in rat model. Sprague Dawley rats (n = 21) were assigned one three groups. A critical-sized defect created the calvaria. In group (S group, n 7), filled sericin–gelatin combination, whereas gelatin (G onl...

Objective : to investigate the biological properties of a matrix made cryogenically structured hydrogel in form macroporous gelatin sponge, as well possibility creating cell-engineered constructs (CECs) on its basis. Materials and methods . The main components were (type A) obtained from porcine skin collagen, N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N’-ethylcarbodiimide, (EDC) urea (all Sigma-Aldrich, USA). ...

opiates such as morphine are one of the most effective classes of medication prescribed to treat both acute and chronic pain.they act to suppress pain through mu-receptor activation on primary afferent nerve fibers, dorsal horn neurons and supraspinal pain center neorons. when morphine is administered epidurally, it diffuses to the cord substance, producing analgesia [1],the aim of this study w...
