In this study, we investigated the rejection of the synthetic patch and human tissues in the host. We observed the growth of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) cultured with polypropylene mesh in vitro. The results of flow cytometry showed that the expression of CD44, CD73, CD90, CD45, CD14 and CD34 was 98.54, 95.32, 98.49, 1.21, 3.01 and 2.14%, respectively. ADSCs were isolated from rabbit sub...

INTRODUCTION Adhesions to mesh/tacks in laparoscopic ventral hernia repair are often cited as reasons not to adopt its evidence-based superiority over conventional open methods. This pilot study assessed the occurrence of adhesions to full-sized Polypropylene and Gore-tex DualMesh Plus meshes and the possibility for adhesion prevention using fibrin sealant. METHODS Two 10-cm to 15-cm pieces ...

Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete is an embryonic construction material which can be described as a concrete having high mechanical strength, Stiffness and durability. By utilization of Polypropylene fibers in concrete not only optimum utilization of materials is achieved but also the cost reduction is achieved. This paper presents a comprehensive review on various aspects Polypropylene F...

This work proposes a new method for Co(II) determination based on the use of the triblock copolymer as micellar medium instead of chloroform. The proposed strategy is environmental friendly because the copolymer is biodegradable and nontoxic. The method is based on the formation of a cobalt-1-nitroso-2-naphthol complex, in the micellar triblock copolymer compound solution constituted by polyeth...

Colonization of roots by Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 (PcO6) involves root surface coverage through surface motility and biofilm formation. Root colonization and the production of antifungal phenazines are important in the ability of the bacterium to protect plants against pathogens. In this in vitro study we report that both biofilm formation and phenazine production are differentially influenc...

Yanqin Shi and colleagues prepared one kind of highly efficient compound antibacterial agents by grafting green natural organic to (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane modified zinc oxide sheets. The polypropylene composites with the have excellent effect on both Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus, due double synergistic effects. Meanwhile, migration resistance. DOI: 10.1002/app.50911

OBJECTIVE To compare intraperitoneal adhesion formation with placement of polypropylene mesh and use of lightweight polypropylene mesh coated with omega-3 fatty in rats. METHODS Twenty-seven Wistar rats were randomized into three groups. In group 0 no mesh was placed; in group 1 we implanted a polypropylene mesh; and in group 2 there was implantation of a polypropylene mesh coated with omega-...

Removal of nitrogen and phosphorus is known to be somewhat problematic in vertical subsurface flow (VSSF)constructed wetlands. In this pilot-scale study, two planted (Typha latifolia L. [cattail]) VSSF-constructed wetlands A (with polypropylene pellets) and B (without polypropylene pellets) and one unplanted control C (without polypropylene pellets) were designed to test the contribution of pol...
