چکیده

BACKGROUND collagenous and noncollagenous membranes have been investigated in many animal systems but their effects in the macaque model are unknown. OBJECTIVE to determine subcutaneous cellular reactions and degradation characteristics following implantation of collagenous and noncollagenous membranes in a macaque model. METHODS six adult male Macaca fascicularis, aged above 7 years, were used. Six commercially available collagenous (Bio-Gide [BG], Tissue Fleece [TFL] TissueFoil E forte [TFO], Lycoll [LC], Surgicoll [SG] and Tutodent [TU]) and two noncollagenous (Tabotamp [TA] and Gelita-Tampon [GT]) membranes (size 2 × 2 cm each) were implanted in unconnected subcutaneous pouches in the monkey's back and wounds were allowed to heal by primary intention. The total sample size for each membrane was six. Two monkeys were sacrificed for each experimental period of 4, 14 and 28 days. Explanted specimens were prepared for histologic and histomorphometric analysis. Digitized images of implant sites were systematically sampled using an Image Analyzer with a grid containing 35 intersection points. Four parameters were quantified: membrane degradation, foreign body reaction, tissue organization and vascularization. RESULTS biodegradation rate and vascularization scored higher in collagenous than in noncollagenous membranes. Except for TFL and TU, the remaining six membranes showed a moderately intense foreign body reaction at week 2. Tissue organization was initiated early in four out of six collagenous (TFL>LC>SG>TFO>BG>TU) compared with one of two noncollagenous (TA>GT) membranes. CONCLUSIONS the results suggest that differences in membrane structure and composition underlie their different cellular reactions and degradation characteristics.

Glomerular Basement Membrane

The noncollagenous domain hexamer of collagen IV from bovine glomerular basement membrane was further investigated to determine the types of collagen chain from which subunits M2*b and M3 are derived. M2*b was shown to be a shorter form, containing 9 fewer residues, of M2*a which was previously established as the noncollagenous domain of a third chain, a3, of collagen IV (Saus, J., Wieslander, ...

Efficient Immobilised TiO2 in Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) Membrane for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Immobilised titanium dioxide (TiO2) in membrane structures has recently become attractive. This is due to the elimination of the separation step after the process of photocatalytic degradation. The efficiency of the TiO2 surface area exposed to UV light as the main important parameter needs to be considered. The immobilisation of TiO2 nanoparticles in the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane...

Investigating the Impact of Driving Cycle on 3-way Catalyst Degradation and Emission Characteristics of ICEV

Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles or ICEVs play a major role in air pollution for big cities like Tehran. Catalyst converters manage to contain much of the generated pollution from combustion and are considered as a mandatory part of any vehicle. Manufacturer guidelines clarify a certain mileage for catalyst to be regarded as completely degraded and thus unable to contain harmful gasses from ...

In vitro evaluation of decontamination effects on mechanical properties of fibrin membrane

Background: Tissue engineering has been investigated as a potential method for healing traumatized tissues. Biomaterials are material devices or implants used to repair or replace native body tissues and organs. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of decontamination methods on biological/mechanical properties and degradation/adhesion test of the platelet‑-rich fibrin (PRF) m...
