Hyaluronic acid cryogels with non-cytotoxic crosslinker genipin

Secondary rhinoplasty fixations with hyaluronic acid.

The management of nasal deformities especially after rhinoplasty is a challenge. Postsurgical edema may last 6-8 months, causing aesthetic irregularities and nose deformities. The aim of this study is to present the correction of minor nose deformities secondary to rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid subdermal injections. Eleven patients were treated between 2009 and 2011 with subdermal injection...

Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Materials

This chapter discusses two protocols that are used throughout the remaining chapters. These protocols and experimental data comprise the early preliminary work of this dissertation. The first protocol is the synthesis of photocrosslinkable glycidyl methacrylate modified hyaluronic acid (GMHA). This derivative was synthesized by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate with HA in a solvent mixture ...

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan)

Expression of Apoptotic Genes after Autotransplantation of Vitrified Rat Ovary Encapsulated with Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel

Introduction: Ischemia followed by apoptosis and follicles mortality are problems that occur after cryopreservation and ovarian tissue transplantation. The present study used hyaluronic acid hydrogel as a capsule to reduce ischemia and apoptosis in vitrified ovarian tissue transplantation of rats. Material & Methods: In total, 22 adult female rats (~ 8-week old) with normal estrous cycle were o...

Ear Keloid Treated with Infiltrated Non-cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid and Cortisone Therapy.

BACKGROUND Several treatments are available to treat the keloid scar. Keloids have the tendency to recur after surgical removal and new treatments for keloid scars include radiotherapy, cryotherapy or compressive therapy. Topical treatments have been also used to treat this pathology, such as injections or medical device applications. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old man came to our attention and we...
