Silk fibroin (SF) is a biocompatible natural protein with excellent mechanical characteristics. SF-based biomaterials can be structured using number of techniques, allowing the tuning materials for specific biomedical applications. In this study, SF films, porous membranes, and electrospun membranes were produced solvent-casting, salt-leaching, electrospinning methodologies, respectively. subjected to physicochemical biological characterizations determine their suitability tissue...
Abstract Introduction Narrowing or stenosis of blood vessels induces reduced flow and tissue damage due to insufficient nutrient supply. Currently, tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) are capable replacing repairing the biological functions vessels. Considering that electroactive effect has shown great promise for development with biomedical applicability, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a synthetic biocompatible material specific cellular response favouring regeneration, thanks...
Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) a promising therapeutic option because they can replace or repair biological functions blood vessels. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is synthetic material with favorable physical and properties that make it suitable for developing TEVGs. Methods A total 12 sheep were divided into two groups: test group, which received PVDF electrospun TEVGs (n=6), control...
Abstract A study was performed to evaluate the implication of Protophormia terraenovae larvae as a surgical therapy for wounded skin. Three groups sheep (n = 25) were considered based on larval doses. Groups 1 and 2 artificially infested with low high concentrations L1 stage P. terraenovae, respectively, group 0 served control. Skin biopsies taken at 4 14 d postinfestation (D.P.If). histopathological carried out lesions score, numbers eosinophils mast cells, an immunohistochemical analysis...
Tissue engineering (TE) aims to develop structures that improve or even replace the biological functions of tissues and organs. Mechanical properties, physical-chemical characteristics, biocompatibility, performance materials are essential factors for their applicability in TE. Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a thermoplastic polymer exhibits good mechanical high biocompatibility excellent thermal properties. However, PVDF structuring, corresponding processing methods used its preparation...
Abstract The objective of this study was to describe a novel minimally invasive robotic video-assisted approach for lung transplantation, utilizing technique with subxiphoid incision, in an animal experimentation model. Two left robotic-assisted single transplants were performed sheep using surgical system. A incision made, and ports inserted into the thoracic cavity dissection anastomoses bronchus, artery, pulmonary veins. integrity evaluated, procedural details recorded. Both animals...
