Biologically inspired crack trapping for enhanced adhesion.
We present a synthetic adaptation of the fibrillar adhesion surfaces found in nature. The structure consists of protruding fibrils topped by a thin plate and shows an experimentally measured enhancement in adhesion energy of up to a factor of 9 over a flat control. Additionally, this structure solves the robustness problems of previous mimic structures and has preferred contact properties (i.e....
متن کاملFibrin-targeted block copolymers for the prevention of postsurgical adhesions.
Despite advances in surgical methods, postsurgical adhesions (PSA) remain a significant clinical challenge affecting millions of patients each year. These permanent fibrous connections between tissues result from the bridging of wounded internal surfaces by an extended fibrin gel matrix (FGM). Adhesion formation is a result of a systems level convergence of wound healing pathways, complicating ...
متن کاملPeritoneal molecular environment, adhesion formation and clinical implication.
Whether induced by infection, inflammation, ischemia, and/or surgical injury, peritoneal adhesions are the leading cause of pelvic pain, bowel obstruction and infertility. It is clear that while postsurgical peritoneal wounds heal without adhesions in some patients, others develop severe scarring from seemingly equal procedures; in addition, in the same patient, adhesions can develop at one sur...
متن کاملCD44-targeted microparticles for delivery of cisplatin to peritoneal metastases.
Intraperitoneal (ip) chemotherapy increases the survival of optimally debulked patients with ovarian cancer due to direct access of the drug to tumor nodules growing on the peritoneal surface. CD44 is overexpressed in many ovarian cancers. To further improve efficacy, we sought to develop a cisplatin-loaded microparticle that would target to CD44 on cancer cells when injected ip. Hyplat micropa...
متن کاملEvaluation of surgical anti-adhesion products to reduce postsurgical intra-abdominal adhesion formation in a rat model
BACKGROUND Adhesions frequently occur after abdominal surgery. Many anti-adhesion products have been used in clinic. However, the evidences are short for surgeons to reasonably choose the suitable anti-adhesion produces in clinical practice. This study provided such evidence by comparing the efficiency of five products to prevent abdominal adhesion formation in a rat model. METHODS Fifty-six ...
