glycolic acid/hemorrhage

Glycolic acid (GA) (2-Hydroxyethanoic acid) is widely used as chemical peeling agent in Dermatology and, more recently, as a therapeutic and cosmetic compound in the field of skin care and disease treatment. In this work we tested the inhibitory ability of glycolic acid on the enzymatic, hemorrhagic

The neuroprotective activity of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles has been observed in rats with model intracerebral post-traumatic hematoma (hemorrhagic stroke). It is established that rhEPO-loaded PLGA nanoparticles produce a

BACKGROUND Several small-scale studies have shown that wrapping polyethylene glycolic acid (PGA) mesh around the anastomotic site reinforced pancreaticojejunostomy following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with favorable outcomes. This study investigated the efficacy of PGA mesh for reducing

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of dermatan sulphate (DS) addition to biodegradable methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG) substituted polylactide-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffolds for cartilage repair in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Human chondrocytes from eight patients

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a clinical therapy for early stage neoplastic lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. It is, however, faced with a crucial problem: the high occurrence of perforation. The formation of a submucosal fluid cushion (SFC) via a fluid injection is the best way to

The neuroprotective activity of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEpo) sorbed on poly(butyl)cyanoacrilate nanoparticles (EPO-PBCA) and on polylactic-co-glycolic acid nanoparticles (EPO-PLGA) has been studied on Wistar rats with intracerebral post-traumatic hematoma (model of hemorrhagic stroke)

OBJECTIVE The only pharmacologic prophylaxis for cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage is oral nimodipine. A novel way to mitigate this risk may be to design a drug eluting stent that elutes verapamil over the time period typically associated with vasospasm. In this study, we explore

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) is the only thrombolytic agent that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of ischemic stroke. However, a high dose intravenous infusion is required to maintain effective drug concentration, owing to the short half-life of the thrombolytic drug,

Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), an OIE listed viral pathogen, is the etiological agent of a contagious disease, causing huge economic losses in farmed olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and significant mortalities among several other marine fish species in Korea, Japan, and China.

BACKGROUND Surgical tumor resection is the main treatment for tumors however the treatment process often results in massive bleeding and tumor cell residue. The main aim of this research was to address problems such as bleeding, systemic chemotherapy side effects while enhancing quality of life, and

Fibrin gels have been extensively used for three-dimensional cell culture, bleeding control, and molecular and cell therapies because the fibrous networks facilitate biomolecular and cell transport. However, a small window for gelation makes it difficult to handle the gels for desired preparation

Targeted nanoparticles are being pursued for a range of medical applications. Here we utilized targeted nanoparticles (synthetic platelets) to halt bleeding in acute trauma. One of the major questions that arises in the field is the role of surface ligand density in targeted nanoparticles'

OBJECTIVE The pharmacological treatment of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) now includes the experimental use of controlled-release biocompatible compounds that deliver a desired drug locally into the subarachnoid space. A controlled-release system consists of an active material that is incorporated into a

Intracrevicular antimicrobial therapy is consistent with the site-specific nature of periodontitis. Considerable research has focused on the use of nonresorbable fibers. However, a bioerodible system is desirable. The purpose of this study was to assess tetracycline release and safety following a
