The introduction of the open abdomen technique for laparostomies has presented new problems, including method temporary coverage and primary delayed closure laparostomy. Numerous techniques a laparostomy have been described in literature, but with colostomy present is more technically challenging situation. combination negative pressure wound therapy mesh-mediated fascial traction now considered choice. This paper presents modification techniques, by which can be easily quickly achieved...
Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that modulate inflammation and immunity. This functional versatility prompted us to perform histochemical study their occurrence during wound healing using rat skin as an in vivo model. Wound is dynamic process exhibits three basic phases: inflammation, proliferation, maturation. In this antibodies against keratins-10 -14, wide-spectrum cytokeratin, vimentin, fibronectin, non-cross-reactive galectins-1, -2, -3 were applied frozen...
The aim of present study was to evaluate whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can reverse the impaired wound healing process in diabetic rats.Impaired patients represents a major health problem. Recent studies have indicated that LLLT may improve rats, but optimal treatment parameters are still unknown.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=21) were randomly divided into three groups: healthy control group, sham-treated and LLLT-treated group. Diabetes mellitus then induced by streptozotocin...
The aim of our study was to compare the effects different power densities LLLT at 635 and 670 nm achieving a daily dose 5 J/cm(2) on wound tensile strength (TS) in rats.Optimal parameters low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are still unknown.Under general anesthesia, one full-thickness skin incision performed back each rat (n = 40) immediately closed using an intradermal running suture. Rats were separated into five groups depending treatment parameters: (1) sham irradiated control group (SIC);...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly considered in the ethiopathogenesis of different pathological conditions because they may cause significant damage to cells and tissues. In this paper, we focused on potential antioxidant properties two medical plants such as Agrimonia eupatoria L. Cynara cardunculus Both have previously been studied for their pharmacological activities, especially hepatoprotective hypoglycemic activities. It has suggested, that effects related polyphenols, which...
Although the exact underlying mechanisms are still unknown, Plantago lanceolata L. (PL) water extracts frequently used to stimulate wound healing and drain abscesses. Therefore, in this experimental study effect of PL extract on skin was studied Sprague-Dawley rats.Two excisional one incisional wounds were performed back each rat. Wounds treated for three consecutive days with two different concentrations aqueous PL. Rats sacrificed 7, 14, 21 after surgery. Samples processed macroscopic...
Estrogen deprivation is considered responsible for many age-related processes, including poor wound healing. Guided by previous observations that estradiol accelerates re‑epithelialization through estrogen receptor (ER)‑β, in the present study, we examined whether selective ER agonists [4,4',4''-(4-propyl [1H] pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl)‑trisphenol (PPT), ER‑α agonist; 2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionitrile (DPN), ER‑β agonist] affect expression of basic proliferation and differentiation markers...
Previously, we found that treatment of cutaneous wounds with Atropa belladonna L. (AB) revealed shortened process acute inflammation as well increased tensile strength and collagen deposition in healing skin (Gál et al. 2009). To better understand AB effect on wound male Sprague-Dawley rats were submitted to one round full thickness the back. In two experimental groups different concentrations extract daily applied whereas control group remained untreated. For histological evaluation samples...
The ability of horse chestnut extract (HCE) to induce contraction force in fibroblasts, a process with remarkable significance skin repair, motivated us evaluate its wound healing potential series experiments. In the vitro study human dermal fibroblasts form myofibroblast-like cells was evaluated at protein level (Western blot and immunofluorescence). vivo conducted on male Sprague-Dawley rats inflicted wounds (one open circular one sutured incision) their backs. Rats were topically treated...
Understanding the molecular and cellular processes in skin wound healing can pave way for devising innovative concepts by turning identified natural effectors into therapeutic tools. Based on concept of broad‑scale engagement members family galactoside‑binding lectins (galectins) pathophysiological processes, such as cancer or tissue repair/regeneration, present study investigated potential galectins‑1 (Gal‑1) ‑3 (Gal‑3) healing. Human dermal fibroblasts, which are key cells involved...
This article deals with possibilities of an application controlled diffusion processes in remelting steel surface layers electric arc non-consumable electrode, the environment enriched by boron, aim to achieve improved wear resistance.In design experiment, there was formulated assumption that dissociation and ionisation can be achieved, allowing initiation layer remelted.Conditions for creation hard stable structures required properties should obtained enrichment layers.The grades 16MnCr5...
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) have been developed to achieve beneficial effects of estrogens while minimizing their side effects. In this context, we decided evaluate the protective effect genistein, a natural SERM, on skin flap viability in rats and series vitro experiments endothelial cells (migration, proliferation, antioxidant properties, gene expression profiling following genistein treatment). Our results showed that administration increased viability, but importantly,...
We have previously shown that the water extract of Agrimonia eupatoria L. (AE) is a valuable source polyphenols with excellent antioxidant properties and has clinical potential for prevention and/or adjuvant therapy cardiovascular complications associated diabetes. Inspired by our published data, in present study we examined whether AE improves skin wound healing series vitro vivo experiments.In detail, investigated ability to induce fibroblast myofibroblast conversion, extracellular matrix...
BACKGROUND: The in vivo recovery and half‐life of intermediate‐purity, vapor‐heated factor VII (FVII) concentrate were determined patients having a congenital deficiency for FVII according to the 1991 guidelines International Society Thrombosis Haemostasis. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A total 11 received single infusion concentrate. Blood was drawn before 15 30 minutes 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours after. Recoveries calculated from highest activity first four blood samples after infusion. two‐phase...
In presented paper we described studies of resistance selected material in abrasive wear tests. A surface tested materials was remelted with TIG method a compound gases argon and B4C.
