conclusions the outcome of this study is that the oca has no toxic effect on h9c2 cells. results the results showed that the percentage of survived cells amount of extract dilution ratio (1:4; 1:2; 1) were 80.4%; 79.6%, 77.5% respectively. analysis of statistical test results does not show any significant differences between the optical density of the extract dilutions, and the control group in...

introduction :   co 2 (carbon dioxide) laser application in circumcision, for cutting and coagulation, has been reported to have excellent results. also, tissue glue has been reported to have advantages over sutures for approximation of wound edges. most previous studies focused on comparisons between co 2 laser and scalpel, or between tissue glue and sutures. this study prospectively compared ...

- healing of surgical wounds and their complications such as infection or scar formation are of major concern in surgery. tissue glues are advanced to reduce these problems. in a prospective study, we have evaluated surgical wound healing in 76 patients whose surgical wounds were repaired by tissue glues (histoacryl). this study was performed in four leaching hospitals (sina, shariaty, shohada,...

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 (...

OBJECTIVE To assess the strength of the glue and microbial contamination over 28 days from opening a vial of tissue adhesive in the accident and emergency setting, and to quantify cost savings of repeated use of the vials. METHOD (1) Strips of reinforced nylon and a specially constructed piece of apparatus designed to measure the force at which the glue gave way were used to measure the stren...

Polypropylene (PP) and titanium (Ti) meshes are well-known surgical implants that provoke a relative low foreign body reaction. Firm stabilization of the implant is important to prevent migration and subsequent failure of the operation. Fibrin tissue glues are commercially available adhesives and are widely accepted and applied in the medical field for hemorrhage, surgical bleeding, support of ...

Surgical glues have been used in pediatric surgery because of the fragility of tissue, and to prevent major surgeries. The present report describes our experience with using a new cya-noacrylate Glubran 2 (Viareggio, Italy) in the treatment of five cases of tracheoesophageal atresia with fistula (one fistula protection, three recurrent fistula, and one unstable patients), two cases of hypospadi...
