Chitosan-based injectable hydrogel as a promising in situ forming scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering.
Chitosan-beta glycerophosphate-hydroxyethyl cellulose (CH-GP-HEC) is a biocompatible and biodegradable scaffold exhibiting a sol-gel transition at 37°C. Chondrogenic factors or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be included in the CH-GP-HEC, and injected into the site of injury to fill the cartilage tissue defects with minimal invasion and pain. The possible impact of the injectable CH-GP-HEC on...
متن کاملLow cost biological lung volume reduction therapy for advanced emphysema
BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), using biological agents, is one of the new alternatives to lung volume reduction surgery. OBJECTIVES To evaluate efficacy and safety of biological BLVR using low cost agents including autologous blood and fibrin glue. METHODS Enrolled patients were divided into two groups: group A (seven patients) in which autologous blood was used and ...
متن کاملEffect of fissure integrity on lung volume reduction using a polymer sealant in advanced emphysema.
RATIONALE Interlobar fissure integrity has previously correlated with responsiveness to endobronchial lung volume reduction therapy in patients with advanced emphysema. OBJECTIVE This report summarises the effect of interlobar fissure integrity on responses to treatment with a novel endoscopic tissue sealant (AeriSeal emphysematous lung sealant (ELS)) that collapses hyperinflated lung. METH...
متن کاملBronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction
The application of lung volume reduction surgery in clinical practice is limited by high postoperative morbidity and stringent selection criteria. This has been the impetus for the development of bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction. A range of different techniques such as endobronchial blockers, airway bypass, endobronchial valves, thermal vapor ablation, biological sealants, and ...
متن کاملEndoscopic lung volume reduction.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a category of diseases characterized by chronic airflow obstruction and hyperinflation. The GOLD committee and the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society have published detailed, evidence-based reviews of management approaches, providing stepped-care algorithms for pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapy. Over the past several d...
