Regenerative potential of basic fibroblast growth factor contained in biodegradable gelatin hydrogel microspheres applied following vocal fold injury: Early effect on tissue repair in a rabbit model

Abstract Introduction Postoperative dysphonia is mostly caused by vocal fold scarring, and careful management of vocal fold surgery has been reported to reduce the risk of scar formation. However, depending on the vocal fold injury, treatment of postoperative dysphonia can be challenging. Objective The...

Biological compatibility of oxidized cellulose vs. porcine gelatin to control bleeding in liver lesions in rats

Acta cir. bras; 36 (11), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare biological compatibility, hemostasis, and adhesion formation between oxidized regenerated cellulose and lyophilized hydrolyzed porcine collagen in liver trauma. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats constituted two groups: group A (oxidized cellulose) and group B (lyophilized hyd...

Desenvolvimento e caracterização de matrizes tridimensionais porosas a base de quitosana, gelatina e dentina em pó para aplicação em endodontia regenerativa

A composição e arquitetura das matrizes desempenham um papel importante na regeneração tecidual, e a interação entre seus componentes pode influenciar no desenvolvimento celular. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi desenvolver e analisar as características morfológicas, físico-químicas, bi...

Rotational thromboelastometry assessment of ballanced crystalloid, hydroxyethyl starch and gelatin effects on coagulation: a randomized trial

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 69 (4), 2019
Abstract Background and objectives Modern crystalloid and colloid solutions are balanced solutions which are increasingly used in perioperative period. However, studies investigating their negative effect on whole blood coagulation are missing, and vivid debate is going on about which solution has the m...

Additive effect of pulp pequi oil (Caryocar brasiliense Camb. ) on the biocompatibility of collagen and gelatin membranes in subcutaneous implants

Trauma or disease inflicted by tissue injuries may cause tissue degeneration. The use of biomaterials for direct or indirect repair has emerged as a promising alternative, and has become an important research topic. The pequi fruit (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) has shown antifungal, antibacterial, anti-in...

Use of Kisser glycerol gelatin to prepare microscope slides of Phlebotomine sandflies (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Appropriate preservation of specimens is important for taxonomic identification. In sandfly research, various methods have been used for slide preparation; however, high cost, low commercial availability, and associated hazards make their use impossible in some studies. Therefore...

Comparative analysis of surgical hemostatic sponges in liver injury: study in rats

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Background Obtaining effective hemostasis either in the traumatic or surgical lesions of parenchymal viscera, especially the liver, has always been a challenge. Aim: Comparative study between the use of different hemostatic sponges in hepatic wound and their capacity of integration to cells i...

Preparation and characterization of alginate and gelatin microcapsules containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT This paper describes the preparation and characterization of alginate beads coated with gelatin and containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Capsules were obtained by extrusion method using CaCl2 as cross linker. An experimental design was performed using alginate and gelatin concentrations as the va...

Effect of drying method on mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties of enzymatically crosslinked gelatin hydrogels

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (1,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT Enzymatically crossliked gelatin hydrogel was submitted to two different drying methods: air drying and freeze drying. The resulting polymeric tridimensional arrangement (compact or porous, respectively) led to different thermal and swelling properties. Significant differences (p < 0.05) on t...

Design and preparation of a novel colon-targeted tablet of hydrocortisone

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to design a new colon-targeted drug delivery system based on chitosan. The properties of the films were studied to obtain useful information about the possible applications of composite films. The composite films were used in a bilayer system to investigate the...
