BACKGROUND: The advantages of the cyanoacrylates in cutaneous synthesis have been often demonstrated in the literature. However, these products have been underutilized in Brazil due to the high costs of the 2-octil-cyanoacrylate. Besides, few studies have been done with the more economically accessible form, the 2-etil-cyanoacrylate, as a cutaneous tissue adhesive. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the ef...

purpose: to present our experience with cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive in eyes with exposed hydroxyapatite orbital implants. methods: cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive was used in 3 patients with hydroxyapatite orbital implant exposure defects. results: cyanoacrylate glue was applied on the defective area of 3 patients presenting with small exposure (<4mm). the patients were followed for 33 months (...

In the title compound, C(15)H(22)N(2)O, the octyl group adopts an all-trans conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers with an R(2) (2)(8) graph-set motif, linked by pairs of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C-H⋯O contacts are observed.

The introduction of high molecular weight poly(methyI methacrylate) or poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) into ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate produced viscous adhesives with a homogeneous or heterogeneous structure after cure. Steel joints bonded with these adhesives are shown to have improved tensile shear strength, deformability and stress relaxation of bonds compared with pure cyanoacrylate adhesive. P...

Octyl gallate inhibited the multiplication of several RNA viruses with widely different structure and replication strategies; i.e. vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), influenza virus and poliovirus. In addition, octyl gallate showed virucidal activity against enveloped viruses at high concentrations. Characterization of the mode of action of octyl gallate against influenza virus infection reveale...

BACKGROUND Caffeate derivatives have been reported to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. To reveal the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of caffeate derivatives, we studied the effects of octyl, phenylpropyl, and decyl caffeates on cell growth and apoptosis in A549 human lung carcinoma cells. METHODS A549 human lung carcinoma cells were treated with 0-100 μM of c...

OBJECTIVE To study the safety and surgical time required when using the tissue adhesive 2-ethyl-cyanoacrylate compared with conventional suture in upper lid blepharoplasty. METHOD A retrospective study was performed on 40 eyes of 20 patients who underwent bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty. In 7 patients, continuous non-absorbable suture (6-0 nylon monofilament Ethilon(®), Ethicon Inc., Somer...
