objective the standard of hygiene in daily life and hospitals can be increased by the use of new antimicrobial fibers, which diminish the danger of pathogenic bacteria. in this study, the antimicrobial effect of special fibers on some staphylococcus isolates was investigated. materials and methods the antimicrobial effect of special type of fibers produced in isfahan poly acryl plant on three s...

Laser Doppler imagery is a contemporary form biomedical science specializing in non-evasive micro-circulation investigation. This paper outlines the process and results of applying twelve different test samples to mouse skin to collect data variation of micro-circulation, then judge the effects of different formulas in skin health improvement. More specifically, it is said [15] that micro-circu...

Wrinkles are an extremely important contribution for enhancing the realism of human figure models. In this paper, we present an approach to generate static and dynamic wrinkles on human skin. For the static model, we consider micro and macro structures of the skin surface geometry. For the wrinkle dynamics, an approach using a biomechanical skin model is employed. The tile texture patterns in t...

Micro-plasma is a possible alternative treatment for wound management. The effect of micro-plasma on wound healing depends on its composition and temperature. The authors previously developed a capillary-tube-based micro-plasma system that can generate micro-plasma with a high nitric oxide-containing species composition and mild working temperature. Here, the efficacy of micro-plasma treatment ...

conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (tdds) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. these systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

The technique of medical micro needling has been shown to increase the remolding of the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, to increase the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s healing cascade. This author theorized, that micro needling platelet rich plasma (PRP) into the dermis would intensify the natural wound cascade because of the high concentration o...

Introduction: Demand for skin rejuvenation and anti-aging procedures with minimal down time and low risk has led to the development of methods for non-surgical treatment of wrinkles, scars and general facial enhancement. In the past few years, fractional radiofrequency (RF) systems have been introduced that enable controlled skin resurfacing. The new Hybrid EnergyTM (HE) micro needles technolog...

This work describes a novel transparent micro-needle array for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. This micro-needle array, with 250 um in height and 35 um in diameter, was placed onto skin and penetrated the cuticle yet not reaching the corium layer, so as to avoid pain and bleeding but achieve superior light transmission efficiency. For PDT applications, this design can significantly red...

BACKGROUND One of the main challenges in skin flap surgery is tissue ischemia and following necrosis. The present study compares the effects of fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 on increasing cutaneous vasculature, improving ischemia, and preventing distal necrosis in ischemic skin flaps in rat model. METHODS Thirty rats were allocated into 3 groups (n=10) and 2×8 cm dorsal rando...
