Although three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology has gained much attention in the field of tissue engineering, there are still several significant engineering challenges to overcome, including lack bioink with biocompatibility and printability. Here, we show a created from silk fibroin (SF) for digital light processing (DLP) 3D applications. The SF-based (Sil-MA) was produced by methacrylation process using glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) during fabrication SF solution. mechanical...
Intratympanic (IT) dexamethasone offers a good method for avoiding systemic side effects in patients with sudden idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). However, most studies, IT was used as salvage treatment whose failed to improve the initial treatment, or an addition conventional oral steroid protocols. Therefore, we investigated outcomes of administration primary modality ISSHL.Randomized controlled study.Tertiary referral center.Two methods, prednisolone, were randomly assigned...
The study group for sinonasal tumors at the Korean Rhinologic Society analyzed results of multicenter experience inverted papilloma (IP) surgeries.Multicenter cohort and retrospective analysis.In total, 939 patients diagnosed with IP treated between 1998 2007 17 university hospitals were enrolled. Demographic data information about previous surgeries, origin involved site tumor, surgical approach, follow-up duration, recurrence, presence malignancy collected. There 361 whose was <12 months...
We investigated the effects of repairing large tympanic membrane (TM) perforations in rats with a thin silk patch compared commonly used paper patch. performed bilateral myringotomies 1.8 mm diameter on 50 adult Sprague–Dawley intact TMs. The right ears 40 were treated patch, and left same Ten acted as controls. mean healing times TM silk-patch–treated paper-patch–treated 7.2±1.48 9.1±1.11 days, respectively (control 10.38±1.70 days). difference between silk-patch– was statistically...
Porous silk scaffolds, which are considered to be natural polymers, cannot used alone because they have a long degradation rate, makes it difficult for them replaced by the surrounding tissue. Scaffolds composed of synthetic such as PLGA, short lack hydrophilicity and their release toxic by-products use. The present investigations aimed study hybrid scaffolds fabricated from hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Hap NPs) optimized bone tissue engineering. results variable-pressure field emission...
In contrast with a thermal plasma surgical instrument based on coagulative and ablative properties, low-temperature (non-thermal) non-equilibrium plasmas are known for novel medicinal effects exposed tissue while minimizing undesirable damage. this study we demonstrated that arrays of non-thermal microplasma jet devices fabricated from transparent polymer can efficiently inactivate fungi (Candida albicans) as well bacteria (Escherichia coli), both in vitro vivo, leads to significant...
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has wide application as a nanofiller in the fabrication of electroconductive biocomposites due to its exceptional properties. However, hydrophobicity and chemical stability rGO limit ability be incorporated into precursor polymers for physical mixing during biocomposite fabrication. Moreover, until now, no suitable rGO-combining biomaterials that are stable, soluble, biocompatible, 3D printable have been developed. In this study, we fabricated digital light...
Abstract Sealants are useful as agents that can prevent the leakage of gas or nonclotting fluids from damaged tissues and blood vascular system following injury repair. Various formulations for sealants have been developed applied clinically, but problems still remain in terms biocompatibility issues, long crosslinking times low adhesive properties. Herein, to address these we report a methacrylated silk fibroin sealant (Sil-MAS) with rapidly crosslinkable, highly biocompatible properties...
Abstract Background The endometrium, the inner lining of uterine cavity, plays essential roles in embryo implantation and its subsequent development. Although some positive results were preliminarily archived, regeneration damaged endometrial tissues by administrating stem cells only is very challenging due to lack specific microenvironments their low attachment rates at sites injury. In this context, various biomaterial-based scaffolds have been used overcome these limitations providing...
