摘要:
Disclosed are biocompatible viscoelastic gel slurries formed from a polymeric gel, preferably a hyaluronan or a derivative thereof such as hylan swollen in an aqueous medium and a fluid phase which is an aqueous solution of a polymer which may also but not necessarily be a hyaluronan or derivative thereof. Also disclosed are methods of making such slurries, controlling their rheological properties and the uses thereof.

摘要:
Disclosed is hylan, a chemically modified hyaluronic acid preparation characterized by the presence of small amounts (0.005-0.05% by weight) of aldehyde cross-linking groups covalently bonded to the hyaluronic acid molecular chains. Also disclosed is a method of obtaining hylan comprising treating hyaluronic acid in situ in animal tissues containing same with a treatment mixture including a reagent (typically an aldehyde) which is reactive towards hyaluronic acid and the proteins contained in the animal tissue.
摘要:
Disclosed is hylan, a chemically modified hyaluronan preparation characterized by the presence of small amounts (0.0002-0.05% by weight) of aldehyde cross-linking groups covalently bonded to the hyaluronan molecular chains. Also disclosed is an improved method of obtaining hylan comprising treating hyaluronan in situ in animal tissues containing same with a treatment mixture including an aldehyde which is reactive towards hyaluronic acid and the proteins contained in the animal tissue. Treatment is effected at temperatures below about 16.degree. C. at very high pH, e.g., 8-14 whereby the overall yield is increased while maintaining the high molecular weight of the hylan.
摘要:
Disclosed are drug delivery systems based on a polymeric component which is soluble or insoluble (cross-linked) hyaluronan or hyaluronan copolymerized with another hydrophilic polymer or hylan and one or more substances having biological or pharmacological activity and methods of preparing same.
摘要:
Percutaneous emboli are formed for therapeutic and/or corrective reasons by using a composition which includes crosslinked gells of hyaluronic acid (HA), hylan (HY) or mixed crosslinked gels of HA or HY with other materials, thrombin and cationic substances containing quaternary ammonium groups. Other optional materials include fillers and radio-opaque substances.
摘要:
Polymeric materials (and articles made therefrom) including polyurethanes, polyesters, polyolefins, polyamides, polysiloxanes, vinylic and acrylic polymers are rendered biocompatible by including with the polymeric material hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof. The hyaluronic acid may be coated onto the surface of the polymeric material, dispersed throughout the body of the polymeric material, or both. The hyaluronic acid on the surface of the polymeric material may optionally be cross-linked. The biocompatible polymeric materials are used in the making of various prosthetic devices including heart valves, intraocular lenses, vascular grafts, pacemaker leads and the like.
